New Essential Oils Blends by Nature Sunshine

Over the past few months Nature Sunshine has come out with some amazing new essential oil blends.  Read more on them below & stop by the office to smell or try them out! My personal favorite is Core!

Blends

• Breathe Deep. Take a deep breath and exhale. This clearing blend will have you breathing deep and clear in no time.
• Rub on your chest and put on the tip of your nose when having trouble breathing or during a chest cold.
• Changes. Women's Health Blend. Changes helps women ease the symptoms that are traditionally associated with PMS or the transitional phase of menopause.
• Core. Balancing Blend. Always remember to BE YOURSELF. Achieve a natural balance and sense of purpose with this supportive and unique blend.
• My personal favorite.  Very balancing.
• Essential Shield. Shield yourself against the changing seasons with this protective formula.
• GREAT FOR KIDS: Put on the bottom of their feet during cold/flu season.
• Inspire. Uplifting Blend. Inspire greatness in yourself and those around you with this uplifting and fresh blend.
• Recover. Soothing Blend. Apply this deep, cool and penetrating blend to muscles after workout.
• Refuge. Calming Blend. Allow REFUGE to be your daily safe haven. As daily stresses and worries accrue, REFUGE will be your beacon for peace and serenity.
• Tei-Fu. Soothing Blend. Invigorate the mind and ease the body with this soft and refreshing blend. This blend is like yoga to your soul.
• When I smell this blend I just feel more uplifted & energized.  You can use daily or rub on your chest for colds or trouble breathing.  Rub on your forehead, back of your neck and behind your ears for headaches.

Essential oils can be rubbed on the bottom of your feet because they are very easily absorbed there due to the large amount of pores.  When I personally like the smell of the oils I rub them on my chest and on the side of my neck below my ear so I can smell them throughout the day.  You can also get a diffuser to make your whole house smell good!  A personal favorite for my home lately is lemon & lavender and lemon & peppermint.

Skillet Cookie Recipe

Everyone loves desserts during the summer, especially ones that involve ice cream!  After eating grain and dairy free for many years, I miss how great homemade chocolate chip cookies taste.  One of my favorite ways to eat chocolate chip cookies is in the form of a skillet cookie.  It's my family's favorite indulgence.  This recipe is very simple and adapted from a favorite blogger of mine.  You can make cookies out of this or do the full skillet cookie.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, preferably grassfed, softened (you can use solid coconut oil)
2 cup almond flour
1 cup arrowroot
1/2 cup coconut palm sugar
4 tablespoons maple syrup
2 large egg, preferably pasture raised
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup Enjoy Life chocolate chips
1 pint vanilla ice cream- (The brand we indulge in is Luna and Larry's Organic Coconut Bliss.  Available at Whole Food's and some Krogers)
Almond Slivers to taste

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In either a food processor or with beaters, cream the butter, coconut palm sugar, egg, maple syrup and vanilla for about 30 seconds. You might need to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula to get it all mixed in.
• Add the almond flour, arrowroot, baking soda and salt and mix until combined.
• Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.

Here is where the recipe differs from the original:
 
For Cookies...

• Drop by tablespoons on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Transfer to a wire rack to cool, or at least as long as you can stand it.

For a skillet cookie...

• Pour batter into a 10-12 inch cast iron pan
• Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown, but still soft
• Take out of the oven and immediately top with ice cream and almond slivers

Enjoy!

Warts

If you or anyone you know suffers from warts (anywhere from 1 to multiple) here is a simple protocol we recommend to patients that can make a big difference!  We have to kill or knock out the virus from the inside out, which is what VS-C TCM is for!

VS-C TCM (Comes in both capsule and liquid form for kids. Stock number 949-2 or 3167-6 for the liquid)

• Adults can take anywhere from 3 to 4 per day and children can take 1 to 2 per day
• VS-C TCM is also great for shingles, mono, cold/canker sores and other tough viruses!

Black Ointment (Use topically- Stock number 1696-9)

• Simply apply this to the area over the wart and it will help pull out the 'seed' and promote healing.  It is black so you will have to apply a band aid over the area so you don't get it all over your clothes!

168 Chemicals per Day

As consumers we use many personal care products from shampoo, lotion, makeup, toothpaste, etc.  On average a woman puts on over 168 chemicals DAILY (not monthly or yearly) but DAILY. 

Many of these chemicals are known to wreak havoc on our hormones which cause many problems, symptoms or issues to occur as a result.

Think about what you put IN and ON your body (and your children’s body).  This is why we fully support and promote Beautycounter for their clean products, constant research and promise to not compromise their integrity along the way.
