Dealing with Chronic Stress

Did you know that prolonged stress can lead to adrenal fatigue?

Our adrenal glands are responsible for producing and secreting steroid hormones like cortisol, estrogen and testosterone. These hormones affect every tissue and organ in your body but also effect the way you think and feel. The primary function of the adrenal glands are to help your body deal with stress.

When you are chronically stressed, you can fatigue and depress your adrenal glands leading you to feel like this:
​
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Irritable
  • Feeling wired but tired
  • Muscle tension
  • Feeling run down, overwhelmed and exhausted
  • Dark circles under eyes
  • Sugar and carborhydate cravings
  • Weight gain
  • Light headness
  • Hair loss

Nervous Fatigue has been personally helpful with reducing the effects of chronic stress and is my go-to recommendation for anyone who is feeling wired but tired! Vitamin B6 can also be very helpful to support your sleep cycles, mood and brain function! 
Nervous Fatigue TCM Concentrate
  • Relieves stress
  • Promotes feelings of well-being
  • Nourishes the circulatory and nervous systems
  • Supports digestion
  • Promotes sleep
  • Invigorates the body

Vitamin B6
  • Supports brain function
  • Regulates mood
  • Regulates sleep cycles
  • Eases PMS 
  • Eases morning sickness
  • Promotes healthy blood pressure levels
  • Nourishes eye health
  • Raises plasma levels
  • Promotes healthy blood vessels


This week save $5 off both Nervous Fatigue and Vitamin B6 at the Country Cupboard.

Super Powered Omega 3

Omega-3s are crucial nutrients responsible for 
  • heart health
  • cognitive function
  • mental stability
  • joint health
  • healthy inflammation levels
  • skin and gut health

And because your body doesn't produce Omega-3, you need to consume at least 7 ounces of oily fish (mackerel, sardines, salmon, and herring) per week. If you find it hard to get this in your diet, consider Super Omega-3. 

Quality is of utmost importance when it comes to Omegas due to them easily becoming rancid. Nature's Sunshine's quality is their primary focus so you can rest assured this will give you the benefits you are looking for!

This week save $5 (normally $38.65) off Super Omega-3 at the Country Cupboard.

Warmer Weather's Coming. Stay Hydrated!

5/25/2018

After glancing at our town's 10 day forecast, I realize summer is upon us! It's time to get those water bottles out and filled with water! 

Consider these incredible facts about water: 
  • At 4% water loss, muscle endurance diminishes and you start to get  dizzy 
  • At 5% water loss, headaches begin, drowsiness, loss of concentration and unreasonable impatience occurs.
  • At 6% water loss, body temperature is impaired and your heart begins to race.
  • At 7% water loss, there is a good chance you will collapse​
    • ​statisticbrain.com

How Much Water Should I Drink?
  • Half of your body weight (lbs) in ounces of water per day.
  • Drink an extra 8 oz of water for each cup of coffee, tea or soda that you consume.

Tip: Adding 1-2 drops of lemon or wild orange essential oil to your water makes it more enticing to drink for those who don't like water. 
​
To celebrate the coming of summer: SAVE $2 on any Glasstic water bottle now through June 1st at the Country Cupboard.

No, it's not time to be dreaming of a white Christmas yet. But it is time to be dreaming of a free Frankincense! For the past several years, doTERRA has offered a free Frankincense, which is a $93 retail value with a 200 pv (point value) order in the month of December. It's an amazing deal!

So what's the big deal about Frankincense? Frankincense is the all purpose oil. If you aren't sure which oil to use, grab Frankincense-it does it all! It helps to focus energy and improve concentration. It eases irritability and restlessness and uplifts the mood. It's fabulous to support neurological challenges and for cellular health. I use 2 drops of Frankincense internally every day to keep my cells healthy.

This is the perfect time to purchase oils as Christmas gifts and stock up on your immunity favorites and makes it easy to get your 200 pv order. I have my cart already full and ready to go!
