Edens Garden Essential Oils Neroli and Ylang Ylang

Details:  Edens Garden offers 100% pure therapeutic grade essential oils.  There are no peticides, synthetic chemicals, herbicides, gmos, harmful chemicals or natural fertilizers ever used during any stage of the growing or distillation process.  Edens Garden Oils come from plants grown in their indigenous locations (where they grow naturally).  Their trusted suppliers strictly follow all USDA food/product safety guidelines.  They never add any bases, carriers or additives to their essential oils.


They to GC (gas chromatography) tests on each of their oils and MSDS and Certificates of Analysis are available upon request.  This provies the breakdown of the naturally occurring components found in any given oil.

My Review: Being very new to essential oils, I've been introduced to several companies recently. There are many great companies out there.  I've actually tried and purchased essential oils from many of them and have been quite impressed.

I recently purchased two oils from Edens Garden, Neroli and Ylang Ylang.  My order arrived very quickly.  It was less than 1 week.  Since this was going from coast to coast, I thought that was impressive.  Shipping and handling charges were less than many other companies I was looking into. Not only that, but the prices of their oils are very reasonably priced.  Basically no MLM, and no middle man so costs are down.


Neroli:  Have you heard of Eau-de-Cologne?  Well it is traditionally made from Neroli Essential Oil. It is made from the bitter orange tree comprising a sweet yet spicey aroma.  Not recommended to take internally.

Neoli promotes cell growth and increases circulation.  It can help prevent scarring and stretch marks.  It is effective in treating skin conditions linked to emotional stress.  Neroli helps to eliminate acne and blemished skin by regulating oiliness and shrinking pores.  With regular use, Neroli will reduce the appearance of fragile or broken capillaries and varicose veins.  When inhaled, it is known to relieve anxiety, stress and depression, reduce high blood pressure and stimulate an underactive libido. It is an aphrodisiac.

Now that I know Neroli helps with varicose veins I'm going to try that and will report back.



Ylang Ylang:  Is made from the flowers of the tree.  Is used to uplift the mood and promote overall health.  It is used to treat high blood pressure, nervous conditions, anxiety and impotence.  It is a powerful aphrodisiac.  It has antidepressant, anti-infectious, antiseptic, euphoric and stimulant properties. It contains stress reducing properties.

Personally, I think Neroli is very strong smelling. Ylang Ylang is more pleasant. I place a few drops of each on separate cotton balls, and place at the head of my bed. They help me relax and sleep well throughout the night. Often times my legs are very restless. When I take in a few deep breaths of each oil, my legs calm down. When I'm stressed out, it's nice to just sit for a few minutes and smell these two oils. I feel much better afterwards. 
 
Pros: No complaints about the company nor their products. Both Neroli and Ylang Ylang help me feel less stressed and help me sleep through the night.

Cons:  Haven't noticed any improvement with libido.

My Rating:  Thumbs UP!!!

#turmeric
My Product Review:  Turmeric or Curcumin is one of those items that should be in everyone's medicine cabinet or spice rack.  It controls diabetes, builds and improves the immune system, and digestive system.  It speeds up wound healing.  (Put it directly on cut or wound.)  It's a natural liver detoxifier and a natural pain killer.  Turmeric does so many more wonderful things.

I've purchased Turmeric from grocery stores to sprinkle on my foods during and after cooking.  Love it for making yellow rice, and making my gravies more appetizing and appealing to the eye.  It's a natural yellow coloring.  However, whenever I sprinkle this on my foods after cooking, even though I mix it in real well, I have severe stomach cramps.

Because I know how good turmeric is for our bodies, I've been searching for a capsule form that I can take without any side effects.  True Synergy offers such a product.  They suggest taking 1 capsule a day with a meal.  Let me tell you, I can take this with or without a meal, and take more than 1 a day without any side effects, aka stomach cramps, whatsoever.

I especially like the way it helps my back.  When I have a long day working out in the yard, believe me, 1 capsule is all I need to relieve any back pain I may have encountered.  This is awesome.

My husband likes taking it because he wants to avoid any colds or flus. It has definitely strengthened our immune systems.  We still have a few sneezes and sniffles, but that's it.  And even those have significantly decreased.

We've only been taking these capsules for a couple of weeks, so haven't noticed any other benefits. However, turmeric has been added to our daily routine of healthy eating.

Pros:  Love that my stomach can tolerate this, and my back pain simply vanishes within 30 minutes of taking just 1 capsule.

Details:  Pomegranate Seed Oil by BeautyOils.CO is 100% pure oil to help protect against free radical damage and promote the regeneration of skin cells.  Pomegranate Seed Oil is incredibly light, anti-inflammatory that provides nourishment for dry, stressed skin.  It provides relief from minor skin irritations and inflammation including eczema, psoriasis and sunburned skin.  This is a cold pressed oil to ensure optimal quality.  Ideal for all skin types to use on face and body.
#beautyoils
Review:  We probably all know how wonderful pomegrantes are for our health.  Needless to say, I thought this would be a great oil to add to my daily beauty routine.  When BeautyOils.CO say it is an incredibly light oil, they are not joking.  It is clear, and because it is a light oil and absorbs very quickly into my skin, I find I use more of this oil than I do of others.  This is a fragrance free oil, or at least if it has a fragrance it is very light.

I've been applying this oil to my face, hands and feet.  My driest areas of my skin.  This oil works great under my foundation.  It actually allows me to blend my foundation easier.  I use Revelon Age Defying with Botafirm.

One thing I've noticed is that when I do apply the Pomegranate Seed Oil to my hands, I can do a load of dishes by hand, and I don't have to immediately apply lotions afterwards.  That's impressive to me. On days when I go makeup free, my face never feels oily after using the oil, but feels soft and silky all day long.

In just 1 weeks period of time in using this both night and morning, I'm seeing the fine lines around my mouth starting to fade away.  Yeah! If you want to see improvement then hurry on over to Amazon and purchase yours today.

Pros:  This really works at reducing fine lines and hydrating my skin without being oily.  Fragrance free.

Cons:  Wish it came in larger container.

This book is a summary of the best paths and tips Michal learned along the way, the ones that have stayed with her and that she uses to this day, more than 15 years after being completely cured.

#promotion
Review:  In a world where cancer is so prevelant, and so many want other options that are more natural and less diblitating.  We've also heard the age old saying, What a man thinketh, So is He.

OK, then, this very short fast reading ebook will provide you with all kinds of ideas to get you thinking, breathing, letting go of the past, smiling, etc.

For example, #76 says "Focus on the good in everything."  That's it.  Short. Simple. Effective.

Not only is this ebook great for those suffering and dealing with cancer, but it is an excellent book for everyone.

#63 says, "Laugh every day.  Find something that makes you laugh.  Humor is helathy for your body."

#32 states, "Give Love."

Each thought is short, but when delved into deeply you are on the road to recovery.

For a greater state of mind, for a healthier body, for an alternative to chemo be sure to read 100 Things To Do Besides Chemo for Cancer today, and every day.

I read through the entire book in less than an hour.  Had some interruptions or would have gone faster.  But the lasting thoughts and actions of each 100 items will improve anyone's well being.

Pros:  Great advice for anyone, not just those with cancer.  Fast reading book.  Leaves you with a feeling of wanting to do more and be better.

Cons:  None.

#probiotics

Review:  I'm all about pro-biotics.  I like to get mine any way I can, from supplements to all natural homemade yogurt, homemade sauerkraut, etc.  I know I feel better when I take them, and my stomach doesn't give me any problems.  Sometimes I don't have the natural foods, so it's always good to have back ups.  Even then, I often times take supplements along with the foods.

The first time my hubby tried these he thought they were chewables because they tasted so good going down.  This is the best product we've tried that he actually doesn't fight taking.  We've recently been traveling, and we know that our immune systems are always weaker when we do because of all the stress.  Taking Pro-Immune system helped us from getting sick like we normally do after traveling.

Now our weather is turning colder, and even though we live in the south, we still have 100% humidity with lower temperatures (35 degrees today.)  The humidy makes it feel much cooler.  At the turning of each season we usally have slight colds and sniffles, but we haven't experienced that since taking PRO-Immune.


It is recommended that 2 tablet be taken daily for proper immune system.  But, when you feel a little under the weather, take 4 tablets per day to prevent further illness.

We know that zinc, echinacea and probiotics all work synergistically together to keep one healthy. This is the perfect blend.

Pros:  PR-Immune works, tastes good, is easy to swallow.  Doesn't get caught in throat.

Cons:  None.

#SimpleHealth
Review:  I recently read an article about magnesium defieciency.  It is often confused with other major health issues such as MS and other neurological issues.  I've done a little more reading, and found out some very interesting things about this.  Below are a list of questions you may want to ask yourself.

  1. Do you experience anxiety?
  2. Do you have a hard time falling asleep?
  3. Do you have difficulty staying asleep?
  4. Do you have painful muscle spasms or cramping?
  5. Do your eyes twitch or have involuntary eye movements?
  6. Do you have fybromyalgia?
Here is a list of Magnesium Deficiency Symptoms.  This is not all inclusive, and I was surprised by some of these.
MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS:
  • Seizures
  • Behavioral Problems
  • Depression
  • Asthma
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Insomnia
  • Anxiety or Poor Reactions to Stressors
  • Muscle Spasms and Cramps
  • Vertigo
  • Trouble Swallowing
  • Heart Arrhythmia
  • Hyperglycemia
  • Arterial Calcification
  • Nausea and Vomiting
  • Stomach Cramping
  • Morning Sickness
  • Hair Loss
  • Cold Hands & Feet
  • PMS
  • High Blood Pressure
Magnesium Citrate Powder

Now, after reading through all of that, do you agree that most of us have a magnesium deficiency? Well Simple Health has the answer with Magnesium Citrate Powder.  It only takes 1/2 teaspoon daily mixed in water or juice to get the daily requirement.  Results may be noticed within 5 minutes.  I haven't noticed it working that fast, but it does work.  For instance, I find I'm not as depressed on the days I take it.  I haven't had any problems swallowing.  It used to be that my throat would just sort of freeze up when I had a mouth full of food, and I had to just sit there and wait while my throat decided to work and let me swallow.  I've had leg cramps recently, and they have gone away.  I have always had cold hands and feet, and lately I've been experiencing hair loss.  Can't report back yet on those last things, but I am improving in other areas.

Simple Health states that their Magnesium Citrate Powder

– Aids metabolism and energy production
– Improves sleep by balancing melatonin and the stress hormone and aids body temperature regulation. It also balances serotonin, which relaxes the nervous system. Relieves stress, panic attacks, anxiety and depression.
– Relaxes muscles, relieving cramps and helps prevent heart disease, stroke, kidney stones, migraines and gallstones. Another pleasant side effect is increased flexibility.
– Female wellbeing, reduces PMS and menopause symptoms, as well as osteoporosis.

– Improves bone, teeth and muscle strength, helps the body utilize calcium properly.
– Aids with Diabetes by enhancing insulin secretion.


So, do yourself a favor.  Be sure to get your Magnesium Citrate Powder today, and improve  your health and well being.  You'll be glad you did.

Pros: Dissolves in water quickly.  Noticed an immediate difference with some of the symptoms listed above.  Works well.

Cons: This does have a taste.  It reminds me of citric powder an almost lemon type flavor.  I haven't tried it in juice, but I do taste it in water.  It's not a bad flavor to me, but it does have a flavor.

My Rating:  Thumbs UP!
