What are Essential Oils?
Study at The University of Manchester shows Essential Oils can kill
MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus)An essential oil is a highly concentrated, very potent plant extract.
When you break a leaf or flower petal you see a tiny drop of liquid coming out. That is the essential oil of the plant. This liquid appears immediately when the plant is injured and its purpose is to begin the healing process.
This is why essential oils are also called the life blood of the plant. They carry nutrients, provide cells with oxygen and protect the plant from insects, bacteria and mold. It is “essential” because without it the plant would die. The essential oil above is actually blend of essential oils that include Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus and Rosemary
The proprietary Thieves oil blend was created based on research into the recipe used by the thieves of the 15th century. In 1997, studies conducted at Weber State University showed it to have a 99.96% success rate against airborne bacteria.

Have you heard of Ningxia Red?
Goji Berry = Wolfberry = Ningxia Red
Study shows Goji Berries improves energy and happiness
Consuming goji berry juice for two weeks increases feelings of general well-being and improves gastrointestinal functions, according to a new industry-sponsored clinical trial.
When it comes to antioxidant drinks there are so many choices today. How do you choose?
For me, as a mom, I want to know these three things:
1. How close is it to WHOLE food? The main ingredient in Ningxia Red are whole squished Wolfberries, also known as Goji Berries (Whole foods assimilate in the body best.) Look at the ingredients on other drinks. First of all they are taken apart from the whole and put back together—just like vitamins. That’s OK because we know that it is important to take vitamins. They don’t assimilate as well as whole foods, but we need to do something, right? For my family, the closer I can stay to whole foods, I know the better, so our choice is Ningxia Red.
2. What is it sweetened with? Agave is from the same family as an aloe plant. It’s properties are very healing. At the same time, they are very sweet, BUT it has a LOW glycemic index. It keeps the blood sugar level which is HUGE! Important for diabetics, athletes, people wanting to maintain or loose weight, CHILDREN, keeping cravings away, etc. If you can get nutrients from whole food it is always better. Vitamins are a second choice or supplement.
3. IS IT ORGANIC? This is HUGE for me as a mom. Fruit is the most highly sprayed plant on earth. Especially the dark berries. The organic seal gives me comfort that I’m not poisoning my children or myself. The cumulative effects of pesticides is devastating over time.
There is a 4th reason for all you athletes out there!
Ningxia Red has a 4:1 ratio of Carbohydrates to Proteins. This helps feed the muscles for endurance and it helps with recovery so no sore muscles.
