• Tapioca fiber is added for probiotics to support healthy digestion as well as the gut brain-axis.

• Scientists now believe that chronic, low-level inflammation plays a major role in almost every chronic, Western disease. This includes heart disease, cancer, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer's and various degenerative conditions. Therefore, anything that can help fight chronic inflammation is of potential importance in preventing and even treating these diseases.
• Curcumin is strongly anti-inflammatory. In fact, its so powerful that it matches the effectiveness of some anti-inflammatory drugs, without the side effects. Learn more here: Article 1, Article 2, and Article 3

• The unique, water-dispersible formula of Golden Turmeric Powder makes it 24 times more bioavailable than standard Tumeric extracts. The body absorbs the same amount of curcuminoids from just 300 mg of Golden Tumeric as it does from 1,926 mg of standard turmeric.

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.

For the month of May we are focusing on releasing the emotional weights that are tying us down and releasing the physical stress within our bodies! Stress-free summer here we come. Here are a few essential items we are using this month to cultivate the stress-free summer we desire.

White Angelica Essential Oil

Each essential oil in White Angelica was carefully selected to help promote a positive, peaceful atmosphere when diffused. This oil blend is an incredibly powerful emotional tool for when you are struggling with negative emotions, carrying the weight of others, and processing grief or disappointment. This blend is also wonderful for children who struggle to verbalize their feelings and tend to process through nightmares. Pair it with lavender for a calming, relaxing blend to help release negative emotions.
