Janie’s Joy in Oils

We had a wonderful class making hand sanitizers and sanitizing spray! Everyone fell in love with the oils and the process of making something of their own 🥰

There are so many benefits and uses for essential oils, and it is so easy to incorporate them into our daily lives to maximize their effects! Nature’s gift to us, essential oils have been used for nearly 6,000 years and is essential in holistic healing. Amazing right!!

Making our own products also means endless customization! Haha everyone picked their favourite oil combinations to make a blend that was just perfect ❤️

We’ve got more classes coming up! Just drop us a Hi and follow us to keep updated!

Making hand sanitizers is so easy, no need to queue, just diy with ingredients that are safe and effective 😍

Our youngest participant! 🤣🤣🤣

Getting ready for class ❤️

One of my absolute favorite oils to diffuse in my home is Jade Lemon. This has quickly become one of my ‘go-to’ oils to share with individuals who are new to essential oils or are experimenting with idea of using oils. I have a close friend who was veryyy against using oils until I gifted her a diffuser and a few yummy scented oils. She recently called me and requested more JADE LEMON! This was a big deal considering we have had some pretty heated discussions about oils in the past. 🙂

Below are some fun facts and new ways to use Jade Lemon essential oil in your life:

• Young Living's Jade Lemon is sourced from China, and it’s scientific name is Citrus Limon L. Var. Eureka.
• Jade Lemon Essential Oil is cold pressed from the rind of the Jade Lemon. These fruits are bright green in color, contrary to the belief that lemons are usually yellow.
• A lot of people ask, what is the difference between Jade Lemon essential oil and Lemon essential oil? The answer is interesting! While other types of lemons begin to release some of their oils aromatically as they ripen and turn yellow, Jade Lemon remains green throughout maturity, which allows the concentration of oil to gather within the fruit. The essential oil is only released after the fruit is picked. This gives the essential oil a much richer and fragrant scent! No wonder it smells so potent and sweet!
• In 2012, Gary Young traveled to Taiwan and visited with Dr. Ginn Lee who introduced him to many native plants and essential oils... Jade Lemon being one of them! Gary quickly fell in love with it’s sweet scent!
• Jade Lemon has high levels of D Limonene and Carvone. Both of these constituents have been heavily studied for their many benefits.

Here are some of my favorite ways to use Jade Lemon:

• Diffuse! Personally, I love the diffusing just Jade Lemon, but combining it with a drop or two of Peppermint ALWAYS gets me compliments on the scent of my home. This is a combo I diffuse DAILY! The best part is, it’s husband APPROVED!! 😉
• Put a few drops on a cotton ball or rag to help remove stickiness or residue left behind from stickers or glue. I used to hate buying new glassware because of the pain and stress it took getting the sale stickers cleanly removed, until I came across this helpful hint!
• For you parents out there.. use Jade Lemon to help remove gum from hair or crayons/markers from walls! I haven’t had to whip out the Jade Lemon for these reasons YET...and hope I never do. 😉
• Mix with Citronella essential oil (another promo this month!) for a delicious scented outdoor spray.

Jade Lemon is a versatile oil that will brighten your day! You can get it FREE in March 2020 PV Promo by hitting the 120-189PV level on your ER order!

Repost from FB group supporting Mommies, this is a very informative and comprehensive post, sharing for all to read

===============================

Hi everyone, I'm Evelyn, a hospital based physiotherapist.

For the past few days, I saw there's many doubts regarding the current respiratory illness outbreak issue, masks issue etc. in the group and of course everyone would like to protect their loved ones. As a healthcare professional, I hope that I can help to clarify doubts, spread awareness and stop unnecessary rumours through this post.

It will be a long post as I will include:

• What is Wuhan Coronavirus

• Do's and Dont's

• Hand Hygiene (Hand rub and hand wash)

• Suitable mask types

Hope everyone can spend some time to read this and educate your family / friends.

What is Wuhan Coronavirus?

It is a novel (new) coronavirus that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, which continues to expand in a few countries (as of now) including the United States. It is also known by the name "2019-nCoV"

SYMPTOMS & COMPLICATIONS INCLUDES:

• fever

• cough

• shortness of breath

Ranges from mildly sick to severely ill and dying. Symptoms may appear as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure.

TRANSMISSION OF THE VIRUS

Direct: Person-to-person contact and happened mainly via respiratory droplets produced (infected person coughs or sneeze).

For example: coughs or sneeze onto the hand / tissue / handkerchief and touches other people without washing hand properly.

Indirect: Any surfaces that may have contact with an infected person's respiratory droplets.

For example: handles on the train, escalator, hand wash sink, public phone, trolley / baskets in supermarket, common used cutlery in a buffet restaurant and many more.



Do's and Dont's during this period of time

DO'S ✔️

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 - 30 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

• Cover your couch or sneeze with a tissue, disposed tissue properly in trash 🤧
*Refer picture below for COUGH MANNERS

• Clean and disinfect frequenly touched objects and surfaces.

• Wear a mask if you have to go out to crowded places

DONT'S ❌

• Avoid touching eyes, nose, mouth with UNWASHED HANDS.

• Avoid close contact if you're sick / with people who are sick, stay home when you're sick

• Avoid huge crowded places especially for kids and when you are not well

Hand Hygiene

• Hand rub : only use alcohol-based hand sanitizers, preferably medical grades, avoid buying non-recognized brands / with heavy fragrance. Please read the label before buying. Not necessary to buy expensive type.

* Refer picture below for HANDRUB steps

**VIDEO from WHO: How to handrub? With alcohol-based formulation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnSjFr6J9HI

• Hand wash: best to use antibacterial soap, not necessary to buy.

*Refer picture below for HANDWASH steps

**VIDEO from WHO: How to handwash? With soap and water
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PmVJQUCm4E

• It is necessary to follow the steps for either hand rub or hand wash to cover all the frequently missed area in our hands that is prone for bacteria growth/ attachments.
*Refer picture below for FREQUENTLY MISSED AREA

ALWAYS REMEMBER 3 : 1

3 times hand rub, 1 times hand wash.

It means that after maximum of 3 times using hand sanitizer, the 4th time is a hand wash. Shall not exceed 3 times of hand rub, as your hands will have a layer of dirt/ dust, thus increase bacteria growth.

Suitable type of MASK 😷

Only surgical mask 3-ply is suitable, definitely not Pitta mask / cotton mask / paper mask / charcoal mask.

To clarify, there's only 1 type of surgical mask (green, blue or white) 3ply, ear-loop or tie string.

Surgical mask have a layer of fluid barrier (color layer) to prevent respiratory droplets from other users entering the mask layers. It is also breathable as it fits loosely. SHOW YOUR COLOR (color layer facing outwards)

MASK DOES NOT NEED TO FIT TIGHTLY as we still need air particles to breathe.

Myth: tie string surgical mask cost a lot more expensive because they're for SURGEON USE.

Truth: It is incorrect. It cost only slightly higher due to the manufacturing for the strings. Surgeon uses tie string masks because it minimizes the risk of mask falling out throughout the surgery. And in hospitals, nurses or healthcare professionals with tudung uses tie string masks as the ear-loops ones are slightly inconvenient.

You definitely do not need N95 mask, as we only use it in hospitals when a healthcare professional have to be in contact with infected patients in the isolation room. N95 masks is denser, harder to breathe in, and definitely not suitable for children!

If the virus is airborne, it is most likely smaller than 0.3 microns, where N95 will not give you any extra protection.

Children mask: Although protecting children is very important, it is not necessary to source for children's face mask tirelessly, especially when they're around 4 - 5 years and above. You can use regular surgical mask and create a knot at each of the ear loop to tighten the face mask in order to snuggle the child's face slightly better.
*Refer the mask picture below. (knotting the ear loops)

HOW LONG SHOULD I USE 1 MASK?

If you're not sick, mask is not soiled / soaked in sweat, the mask can be use throughout the day, disposed at the end of the day.

• mask should be kept in a CLEAN zipper bag if you wish to reuse it (e.g: after lunch break or dinner break)

• you should not fold the mask and keep it in your bag / pocket / handbag / under your mobile for reuse

• Mask should be disposed once soiled (e.g.: sweat, any fluid, or dropped on the floor)

• If you're sick, please change masks frequently, disposed them properly in the trash.

• WASH YOUR HANDS before and after removing / putting on a mask.

It is important to note that how easily a virus spreads, in order to better understand the risk associated, and prevention steps.

* Please do confirm the source of a particular info before spreading or worrying as there's a lot of false news / posts out there.

I hope this post can clarify most of your doubts and put an end to some of the rumors out there.

Please share this info and educate your family and friends, spread awareness ESPECIALLY prevention (HAND HYGIENE). It is important for kids to learn how to protect themselves as easy by doing correct hand hygiene.

Protect loved ones, DO PRACTICE CORRECT HAND HYGIENE OFTEN.

Thank you so much for your time.

Regards,

Evelyn.

What's in Sulfurzyme and what is it good for?

1. SULFUR: It contains MSM, which is an organic form of dietary sulfur needed by our bodies. MSM maintains the structure of proteins, protects our cells, and replenishes the connections between them. It also supports the immune system and helps to eliminate free radicals! Yes!! 💪🏼

2. BONE + JOINT CARE: Great for bone health. MSM can help dissolve the unhealthy calcium deposits in the body that are often the root cause of degenerative disease. In turn, it helps with improving joint flexibility, reducing pain and stiffness, and improving circulation. 🧘🏽‍♀️

3. DETOX: Toxins can cause our cells to malfunction and even die. MSM increases the cell's capability of flushing out excess fluid and toxins! The more detoxified our cells are, the more essential nutrients can be absorbed by our bodies. 🍊

4. SKIN + HAIR: The sulfur provided by MSM produces collagen and keratin, both which are vital for healthy hair and nails. 💅🏼

5. ENERGY: Sulfur supports cellular mitochondria, which is needed for energy. 🏃🏽‍♀️

SULFURZYME can help with these "other" things, read between the lines here. 😉

Been working long hours, and drinking Ningxia has really kept my energy levels up ⬆️

I used to drag myself to work and feel super drained by the afternoon. Now It’s way better and I’m working with same energy levels til nighttime 🥳

Tastes good, and it’s good for my eyes since I spend so much time in front of the laptop. Plus it’s filled with nutrients and powerful antioxidants so I’ve rarely fallen sick (touch wood)

If you’ve been struggling with energy levels, tired eyes, falling sick, then drinking this will help you. 😊

“A rose may be a rose,” reports EWG. “But that rose-like fragrance in your perfume may be something else entirely, concocted from any number of the fragrance industry’s 3,100 stock chemical ingredients, the blend of which is almost always kept hidden from the consumer.”
