SulfurZyme

Supplement Spotlight

What is SulfurZyme?

Sulfurzyme is a unique combination of MSM ( the protein-building compound found in breast milk, fresh fruits and vegetables) and NingXia wolfberry. Together, they create a new concept in balancing the immune system and supporting almost every major function of the body. MSM has the ability to equalize water inside the cells, which is. considerable benefit for those needing join support.

- excerpt from the Essential Oil Desk Reference, Life Science.

If you have skin, hair, nails, or joints (and we hope you do), you are likely not getting enough of this compound. We and brittle nails, hair that doesn't grow or isn't healthy, joints that are painful, and skin issues can all be giant billboard signs telling you that you need more nutrition in this area. Skin that is ultra sensitive to the topical use of oils can be another telltale sign. This one supplement (capsules or powder) can do so much to help you benefit from everything else you are doing with our oils to increase your health.

1. Helps treat Arthritis Symptoms - As a supplement, its common to pair MSM with glucosamine and other joint supporting ingredients, like chondroitin, in a single formula. Controlling inflammation, and providing sulfur are conventional methods of supporting joints and assisting those suffering from Osteoarthritis conditions. Arthritis Research UK alone references several MSM trials for osteoarthritis.
2. Makes Skin Healthier - Hair, skin, and nail cells all contain large amounts of keratin, which contains sulfur and needs it to stay strong. Boosting keratin production helps you fight back int he battle against aging, protects you against wrinkles, stretch marks, and sunburns and helps the skin heal faster.
3. Eases Menstrual Cycle Pain - Menstrual pain is usually caused by the swelling of the Fallopian tubes, the ovaries or the womb as it prepares itself to house an egg. Cramps can cooer either while the lining is constructed or while it is falling away. MSM can reduce the swelling and soothe the pain caused by the inflammation.
4. Helps Treats IBD - There are studies that prove MSM is an effective treatment against certain inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and Colitis.
5. Improves the Immune System - MSM helps reduce swelling and sooth inflammations. Oxidative stress can lead to pain and discomfort and can lead to the progression of other diseases. That sulfur in MSM helps fortify the muscle and soothe the stress on the joints leading to better muscular function all around. It also contains antioxidants that help tackle the free radicals that damage you immune system.

Mineral Sunscreen

June Ditch & Switch

As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products for ourselves and families! 

Join us as we detox our beach bags this month and switch out convention chemical sunscreens for Young Living's Mineral Sunscreen. This switch is a simple one that can have a huge impact on your health and the health of your family.

• Oxybenzone - (sometimes called benzophenone-3) is one of the most commonly-used sunscreen chemicals, it is linked to endocrine disruption, organ system toxicity, contact allergies, and photoallergies, meaning exposure to light is required to generate an allergic response. In fact, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) recommends avoiding oxybenzone because of concerns that this ingredient may disrupt hormones and cause allergic skin reactions. Oxybenzone is also harmful to aquatic life, in 2018 Hawaii banned it to protect coral reefs.
• Octinoxate - commonly used UV filter that protects from UVB rays, but not UVA rays. It may be listed as OMC, methoxy-cinnamate or ethylhexyl methoxy-cinnamate and is lined to endocrine disruption as well as reproductive toxicity. Researchers have detected octinoxate in breast milk, urine, and blood. Like oxybenzone, this ingredient was targeted in Hawaii's ban, as it harms coral reefs.
• Homosalate - a common ingredient that absorbs only UVB rays to prevent direct skin exposure. Homosalate is linked to hormone disruption and may also enhance the absorption and penetration of pesticides, including bug sprays, as well as other harmful ingredients found within sunscreen.

• Contains naturally derived plant and mineral based ingredients, including non-nano zinc oxide, so it's not absorbed into the bloodstream.
• Available in broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection.
• Filled with skin-loving essential oils like Helichrysum, Carrot Seed, and Frankincense that put a protective barrier on your skin and help retain the skin's natural moisture while out in the sun.
• Has a non-greasy, lightweight formula that goes on smoothly (aka no white residue).
• Stays water and sweat resistant for 80 minutes
• Carries an official global certification from the National Skin Cancer Foundation and is recommended for daily use to help prevent skin cancer.
• It is safe for ALL skin types and won't clog pores.
• It is reef safe! An estimated 14,000 tons of sunscreen go into the ocean each year and most (all chemical based ones) kill coral reefs. It is such a problem that Hawaii passed a bill banning ingredients that harm coral reefs.

• SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays
  
• SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays
• SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB rays
  
• SPF 100 blocks 99% of UVB rays

• Wash and prime your face, then apply the SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen all over your face and rub it gently but completely. You may find it helpful to lightly set the sunscreen with a dusting of Diamond Dust before applying the rest of your makeup.
• Apply the rest of your Savvy Minerals as usual. Or, skip the full face look and tint your sunscreen with your Savvy Foundation. Quick and easy for summer days!

Mineral Essence

Supplement Spotlight

According to the two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling: "You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency".

And just like so many other areas of our health, we can achieve our goals with supplementation. Mineral Essence is a balanced, full-spectrum ionic mineral complex enhanced with essential oils. It contains sixty ionic minerals including iron, zinc, silicon, fluoride, boron, lithium, sodium, sulfur, magnesium, chloride, selenium, Thallium, calcium, and potassium. Added in is Peppermint, Cinnamon bark, and Lemon essential oils. The addition of essential oils helps the body absorb all these ionic minerals, making them more bioavailable (and useful) to our bodies instead of just passing through.

• IRON - affects around 20% of women and 50% of pregnant women. Pair with Master Formula Master Formula for ideal results.
• SELENIUM - a key component of thyroid health. Pair with Master Formula for ideal results.
• MAGNESIUM - some sources say up to half the population is deficient in magnesium. One serving of Mineral Essence provides 80% of our daily requirements.
• ZINC - this mineral is used by more enzymes than any other mineral our bodies need and is used for everything from gut health to DNA repair.

Lavender

June's Oil Spotlight

Lavender essential oil has a scent that's a wonderful blend of fresh, floral, clean and calm. It's this dynamic aroma that has made the plant a classic for perfumes, soaps, freshness, and beauty products. 

Lavender is a great beginner oil and a must for every home, which is why its a part of the Everyday Oils Collection in the Starter Bundle. Lavender essential oil isn't a favorite only because if its classic scent - its also highly versatile. From skin care products to relaxing routines, this oil can infuse and enhance many areas of your life.

Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in June. My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.

Lavender AT A Glance

• Has a fresh, floral aroma that pairs well with many other oils
• Can help cleanse and soothe minor skin irritations
• Can be soothing to the skin after a day in the sun
• May reduce the appearance of blemishes
• Support aging skin
• Cams and relaxes the mind and body
• Soothes seasonal respiratory needs

Background

• Fear and Abandonment, being left alone. By rubbing Lavender over the abdomen and using the mantra "I embrace all life's experiences" can help us be open to self-reliance and our contentment to all things. The opposite of abandonment is not being fully self-reliant, but being connected to everything working together for our good.
• Fear of Criticism. This one is huge, especially if you are in a line of work where you put yourself out there often (or if you have a high-maintenance toddler too!) Using Lavender as perfume while paring it with mantras and unconditional love for ourselves can be a great practice for developing self confidence.
• Fear of New Things, fear of moving forward. Sometimes there are big transitions in life and sometimes it seems scary to open ourselves up to change. Lavender has a beautiful way of calming the central nervous system to help us be more open to change and gaining positive momentum.

Daily Habits with Lavender

• Unwind in the evening with a calming, Lavender-infused neck or back massage. Feeling tense? Add a little Peppermint and Frankincense.
• Use Lavender as a part of a bedtime routine by rubbing it on the bottoms of your feet and diffusing it next to your bed.
• Make a relaxing Lavender eye pillow (find the details here)
• Rub Lavender and coconut oil on the skin after time in the sun or make an after-sun spray or balm.
  • 1/4 cup solid coconut oil (or liquid carrier for a spray)
  • 10 drops Peppermint essential oil
  • 20 drops Lavender essential oil
  • Optional: 15 drops Tea Tree essential oil for extra red/hot skin.
• Add 10 drops of Lavender to 1 cup Epsom salt to a bath to create a relaxing environment. We also love adding Peace & Calming or Frankincense to the mix.
• Use Lavender seasonally to support the airways when air quality is less than ideal.
  • Seasons Change Roller Blend: 15 drops each Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Copaiba then fill it with carrier oil. Roll over the chest, wrists, or just below the nostrils.
  • Add 5 drops each Lavender and Copiaba to 1 cup fine grain sea salt and dilute with 8-12 oz distilled water to make a DIY nasal rinse solution.
  • Use a drop of Lavender Vitality under the tongue or swiped on the inside of the cheek.

Summer sunshine, the scent of fresh herbs, and the feeling of warm earth beneath your feet - that is what this blend is about. Rosemary, Lavender, Lemon, and Basil round out a wonderful diffuser combination that is a little sweet, a little herbaceous and a little citrusy. And just like being outside and planting a summer garden is good for your immune system, breathing in these oils is too.

Ohhh, summer camp... late nights, bonfires, and good friends. That is what this blend brings to mind! Northern Lights Black Spruce pairs well with Tangerine any time of the day, but adding Cedarwood makes it perfect for sweet summertime sleep.
