Beauty Essentials Tips

In today?s world, there?s a definite need to be proactive in protecting our health. But that assumes there?s something you CAN do to protect it.

See, most people figure they?re pretty powerless. That?s a good thing for the healthcare establishment. They like that. You?re the one with disease and they?re the one with the solution.

Only one small problem, though. In 2001, now get this, in 783,000 people died from healthcare-related screw-ups. That?s a fact. Imagine that. That?s 2,100 people a day. That?s 8 jumbo jets going up in flames every day.

Don?t get me wrong. Doctors and medical facilities are great when it comes to trauma care, bone setting and that kind of thing. But give me a break: 783,000 dead from medical mistakes? No wonder that?s the third leading cause of death in the U.S.

Anyway, most people don?t even know that. If they get sick, well, the only thing they know to do is to submit themselves to conventional medical treatment ? which of course is all about treating sickness.

But that?s not health care. That?s sickness care. Real health care is about building health from the ground up. Sickness care is about cutting, radiating, poisoning and taking prescription drugs, which by the way can be very toxic.

So, as I see it anyway, we?ve only got two options. Be good little medical consumers and go along with the healthcare program that we?ve all been taught to buy in to - or start thinking things through for ourselves - and no one can make that happen but you. It?s your decision ? your choice ? and your life.

Personally, my advise is: be pro-active. Don?t wait in line to get on a train wreck. Consider taking your health into your hands. I know that might be a little scary, but you can do it. You couldn?t before because there wasn?t an alternative ? but now, there?s something on the horizon that everyone should know about and it?s called ?glyconutrition?.

For the past two years, I?ve been researching this particular field of nutrition - glyconutrition ? and what I?ve come away with is the sense that glyconutrition is a tool for health unlike anything we?ve ever seen before.

To give a few examples, people who are on glyconutrition supplements are having very impressive experiences like far fewer colds and flues, recovering from things like asthma, fibromyalgia, cancer, autism, and depression.

A lot of people hearing this for the first time are very skeptical when they hear claims like that. If you happen to be in that group, but are still open minded enough to take in some new information, that?s great. It?s the first step you can take to reclaiming your power to make decisions about you and your family?s health that isn?t completely dictated by the medical establishment - you know, that same group of folks that racks up over 700,000 unnecessary deaths a year.

Anyway, the important thing is that now you at least know about an alternative that?s working for thousands of people ? people who?ve made the decision to start thinking outside the medical box by adding glyconutrition supplements to the food they eat.

Pure essential oils have a wide range of therapeutic uses and benefits. Remember the method applied can effect your results.

First, please remember that essential oils should never be applied neat (undiluted) to your skin. There are absolutely NO exceptions to this! This includes the soles of your feet or palms of your hands. When using oils neat for inhalation purposes please exercise care and dispense your oils on a tissue or cotton ball for direct inhalation.

Research shows that Cold-Air Diffusing certain essential oils may:

1) Reduce bacteria, fungus, mold and unpleasant odors:

Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Lemon or Lavender are known to have properties that will achieve these desired outcomes for you.

2) Relax and relieve tension, as well as clear the mind:

I highly recommend you try Lavender or Frankincense for these benefits!

3) Help with weight management:

Citrus oils are great for curbing your appetite, as well as uplifting your spirits! I recommend Lemon or Pink Grapefruit.

4) Improve your concentration, alertness and mental clarity:

Use Peppermint or Basil for improving your memory. Both are exellent when you?re studying for exams.

Start by diffusing your oils for no more than 15-30 minutes per day. As you become accustomed to the oils and recognize the effects, you may increase your time of exposure.

In illness, inhale near the ?mouth? of your nebulizer or fan difuser. A short session of breathing in the oils for 4-5 minutes should be sufficient, repeat every few hours.

You can also dispense your oils on a tissue, cotton ball, or Organic Celtic smelling salts for Direct Inhalation of 30-60 seconds minimum and up to 5 minutes.

Properly administered essential oils are a natural, safe and effective way to enhance your health and well-being and can produce satisfying results where other methods have failed. Please consult with your physician regarding your health concerns.

We, as human beings have been given the wonderful gift of 5 senses, which most of us use every day without even thinking about it. Let us give some attention to how we react to the various things that touch our senses.

The fragrance of a home-baked apple pie may bring back memories of Grandma?s kitchen and feelings of comfort or happiness. How about the scent of a deep, red rose? Does it bring of thoughts and feelings of Love, with the memory of your first anniversary with your significant other? Or the sight of an intricately beautiful, wild violet bringing with it, feelings of wonder and awe. Or maybe someone walks past you wearing the same perfume your Mother used to wear and you are instantly in touch with the feelings of safety, warmth and love of family.

There are so many ways we are touched emotionally, mentally, physically by items coming in contact with our senses. Like the music on the radio that takes us back to childhood, the smell of sheets that were dried outside on the clothes line, the touch of velvet that was your first prom dress. The taste of your favorite ice cream reminds you of your high school days with friends. Your senses carry you far beyond the very moment of contact, bringing with them the enhancement of spirit. These senses trigger our nervous system, relieving depression, revitalizing, uplifting, and giving us an all-over feeling of well-being.

This is what aromatherapy does and much more. Using pure essential oils from a wide assortment of plants, flowers, fruits barks and roots, produces compounds that can be used to affect mood and health. These are more widely accepted for use in the alternative and holistic medicine fields. Aromatherapy actually dates back thousands of years probably first used by the Egyptians. These can be used in a variety of ways; by inhaling the essence, using the oil as a massage or compress and with proper direction of a professional, ingestion.

Just as a suggestion, we believe you should at least give it a try. Beside the fact that you will feel better, it could carry you off to some distant past with wonderful memories and feelings!
