Heart Diffuser Challenge

Happy Tuesday friends!
ย 
Have you heard about the ๐ŸฅฐHAPPY HEARTS DIFFUSER CHALLENGE? ๐Ÿฅฐ
โค๏ธ During February, we (myself, many others, and perhaps you too?) will be diffusing Bergamot everyday for 28 days. Heads up…. I’m starting now because it takes 6 weeks to get good at a habit ๐Ÿ˜.
ย 
Why Bergamot?๐Ÿง And why a month? ๐Ÿง

ย 
If you aren’t using oils to help with your emotional health, please, consider giving it a try! “Try” in this case doesn’t mean once and done….. try means “let it become your BFF companion for at least one month, and see what happens ๐Ÿ˜‰โค๏ธ.
ย 
A little bit about our new BFF Bergamot:
โ€ข Has a zesty citrus flavor that’s great in diffuser blends, recipes, and DIYs
โ€ข Uplifts the emotions and senses
โ€ข Contains antioxidants that help support a healthy lifestyle
โ€ข Helps support the cardiovascular system
โ€ข Is a wonderful choice for combating oily skin
ย 
Bergamot is also a huge component for many perfumes due to its ability to balance the mix of aromas and harmonize all of the essences. Some of our favorite pairings are:
โ€ข Bergamot + White Angelica
โ€ข Bergamot + Sacred Frankincense
โ€ข Bergamot + Stress Away
โ€ข Bergamot + Vetiver
ย 
Many a surprise outcomes have resulted from giving something a good 6 week try. Winter months can often cause an emergence of winter blues. Let’s see if Bergamot can reverse that trend. Will you?

—Plants Produce and Store Essential Oils Within
Essential Oils within the Plant Parts
ย 
Essential oils found in trees, bushes, seeds, roots and leaves are produced by cells WITHIN the center of the plant. Most of these central cells resemble beach balls or drinking straws.
ย 
Essential oil in SEEDS: carrot, anise, fennel, dill, caraway
Essential oil in BARK: cinnamon bark, cassia bark
Essential oil in ROOTS: valerian root, ginger root, vetiver root
Essential oil in LEAVES & NEEDLES: cinnamon leaf, pine needles, fir needles, spruce needles
Essential oil in TREES: pine, fir, spruce, juniper, cedarwood, sandalwood, hinoki
Essential oil in OLEOGUM-RESIN: frankincense, myrrh, copaiba, elemi, pine, spruce
Essential oil in FLOWER PETALS: rose, ylang ylang, clove bud, neroli
Essential oil in CITRUS PEELS: orange, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, mandarin, lime
ย 
Aromatic plants produce and store essential oil molecules on the surface and central regions of leaves, stems, roots, seeds, flowers, and wood. Youโ€™ve experienced plant essential oils many times and may not have known it.
ย 
EXPERIMENT. Go to your spice rack or drawer. Take out each spice and take a whiff. Now do the same for essential oils. You will find the aroma is STRONGER for the essential oils because their aroma is concentrated. ……..Cole Woolley, PhD. #colewoolleyphd

Lavender & Bergamot Help Anxiety

· ·

Interesting article on lavender and bergamot use (3 times a day for 8 weeks) in a study involving 50-60yr old menopausal women who were experiencing menopause related “moderate anxiety and some sexual dysfunction”, but were otherwise healthy. (I am interpreting this to mean they did thorough labwork beforehand… key point! โ˜๏ธ…. otherwise they might be overlooking a bigger fish that needed frying!)
ย 
ย 
This is not a one size fits all situation. Everyone is different and labwork offers a personalized trail. This doesn’t mean labwork or lavender/bergamot alone are singular answers to a potentially complex problem…. but perhaps they might be in some cases. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Lavender and bergamot are stellar oils (but only when they are high quality ones such as Young Living’s, and when they are used with purposeful regularity for this particular situation). Imagine the women (and their spouses and families๐Ÿ˜‰) who might be relieved by something so simple as using lavender and bergamot three times a day. Labwork, lavender and bergamot are infinitely safer than most modern world common “solutions”.
ย 
Other items I’ve personally found helpful for keeping me younger than my chronological years (in addition to regular and purposeful exercise, healthy diet, and adequate sleep!) : Alternating between Young Living’s Femigen and PD 80/20 capsules, Progessence Plus serum used nightly, and of course…. Sensation Massage oil ๐Ÿฅฐ. Everyone is different, but menopause doesn’t have to be an unpleasant period of life.
ย 
Worth the try? You bet! (link to Lavender and Bergamot…. and Sensation Massage oil) ๐Ÿ‘‰ bit.ly/3Wl2XMq
