BE SPORT is not just for sport.

Posted on: April 3rd, 2012

This stimulating blend for pain and inflammation is often misunderstood and overlooked when it comes to choosing a blend to deal with arthritis, backache, migraine etc. Read what one of our customers had to say. “I'd just like to tell you about my great and unbelievable results from your product BE Sport. I was talking to my next-door neighbour and complained about lower backache, she kindly gave me some of her BE Sport to try. Within one day my backache was gone and has not returned so I decided to try it on my ankle tendonitis which I have had for over a year. I love to walk but...

LATEST RESEARCH ON BERGAMOT OIL

Posted on: April 3rd, 2012

Latest research validates Bergamot's anti-stress effects and also suggest the same of Sweet Orange essential oil, giving some scientific support to its use as a tranquilizer by aromatherapists. Scientists in Italy have elucidated the way Bergamot oil lowers stress-induced anxiety and affects mild depression. They go on to note that there is firing of brain cells in such a way that the essential oil "is able to interfere with normal synaptic plasticity". This is a very interesting study validating aromatherapy's aroma-therapeutic action. It’s in the brain that a response occurs from...

HANDWASHING WITH SOAP IS BEST

Posted on: November 2nd, 2011

The largest, most comprehensive study ever done comparing the effectiveness of hand hygiene products shows that nothing works better in getting rid of disease-causing viruses than simply washing one's hands with good old-fashioned soap and water. Among the viruses soapy hand washing flushes down the drain is the one that causes the common cold. Other removable viruses cause hepatitis A, acute gastroenteritis and a host of other illnesses. A separate key finding was that waterless handwipes only removed roughly 50 percent of bacteria from volunteer subjects' hands. Anti-microbial agents...

Posted on: November 2nd, 2011

Did you know that anxiolytic means anti-stress? A recently released study shows a significant anti-stress effect of Sweet Orange essential. That’s why this essential oil is included in many of our blends. The second study was performed using Bergamot essential oil, similar to Bitter Orange, and one of the most highly regarded anti-stress, anti-depressant essential oils. The study revealed an anti-stress result from adolescents wearing an aromatherapy necklace, spiked with Bergamot. Study 1: Anxiolytic-like effect of sweet orange aroma in Wistar rats.Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol...

Common Painkillers Linked to Risk

Posted on: February 9th, 2011

ScienceDaily (Jan. 12, 2011) — The drugs include traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) as well as new generation anti-inflammatory drugs, known as COX-2 inhibitors. The researchers say that doctors and patients need to be aware that prescription of any anti-inflammatory drug needs to take cardiovascular risk into account. NSAIDs have been the cornerstone of managing pain in patients with osteoarthritis and other painful conditions. In 2004, the COX-2 inhibitor rofecoxib was withdrawn from the market after a trial found that the drug increased the risk of...

NEW YEAR NEW BODY

Posted on: January 14th, 2011

NEW YEAR NEW BODY. It’s that time of year when we make all sorts of promises to ourselves especially when it relates to the look, feel and capabilities of our body. I’ve now been using the Nutritional Cleansing Products by Isagenix for 10 months now and have lost 10 kilos (8.5 kilos in the first 4 weeks). Whilst this was initially my main aim I now stay on this program for health. I recently attended a seminar on the Science of Longevity. What I learned there confirmed to me the importance of providing our bodies with the best possible nutrition and the importance of keeping our...

Do you suffer from BACK PAIN?

Posted on: December 16th, 2010

Do you suffer from back problems with nerve pain (sciatica)? Now I know exactly how it feels… I’ve done a number of silly things over the years – falling off horses, moving heavy furniture and recently lifting a very large rock. For the last couple of months I’ve experienced severe pain in my lower back. But not one to admit defeat I kept going. Eventually I was advised by my chiropractor to have a CT Scan which revealed that I had severe damage to three discs, one of them prolapsed and impacting on a nerve. So if you have a longstanding back issue have it checked out – it could...

Can an Uplifting Oil Change the World?

Posted on: October 28th, 2010

Can an uplifting citrus smell help make a change for the better in our world? Yes, according to Research conducted by the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Illinois. Using a citrus scented spray, US researchers have discovered participants are dramatically more ethical and charitable in their behaviour towards others. The smell of a clean and fresh room is sufficient to provoke a subconscious impulse towards fairness. Psychologist and professor, Adam Galinsky who worked on the study claimed, “basically our study shows that morality and cleanliness can go hand in...

Lavender Essential Oil

Posted on: October 28th, 2010

Lavender is one of the most versatile of the essential oils and has been used for centuries to treat a variety of conditions. The Romans added lavender to their bath water, hence the name derived from the word “to wash”, lavare. It is one of the few essential oils that can be used neat on the skin. When purchasing any essential oil make sure you purchase only the highest quality therapeutic essential oils. There is a difference! Many synthetic oils are marketed the same so if they seem cheaper it’s a good indication they’re not real or natural. Therapeutic Lavender can be used in...
