Tea in a Bottle - Bergamot Essential Oil

If you smell on Bergamot Essential Oil you will probably think of Earl Grey tea.

Bergamot essential oil has a light citrus aroma, which makes it a great oil to help you get going in the morning or refresh your kitchen before dinner.
The peel of the yellow-green, orange-shaped fruit is cold pressed to create the pure Young Living Bergamot oil found in homes around the world.

Bergamot’s aroma is tart yet sweet and uplifting yet relaxing, making it a popular oil in perfumes, cosmetics, and lotions.
In addition to its scent, Bergamot has attracted attention for its cleansing properties, and it’s often used as a luxurious ingredient in shampoos, soaps, and cleansers.
However, because Bergamot can cause photosensitivity, avoid applying the oil before spending time outside, especially in the sun.

What is FACE the facts?

FACE the facts is MirorCore’s flagship dermal inflammation support product.  Made entirely of clinical grade herbal extracts and 100% free of synthetic ingredients of any kind,
FACE the facts goes way beyond a simple oil controlling cleanser. There are two ways to apply FACE the facts: cleansing and intensive.
In the first mode, it’s a highly effective plant-based foaming cleanser: simply apply to any part of the body and rinse.  For many, this is sufficient to soothe and clarify irritated and blemished skin. 

For those with advanced dermal inflammation support needs, however, the full therapeutic power of FACE the facts can be harnessed by massaging it into the skin and letting it fully absorb, allowing it to fully penetrate into the deeper layers of the epidermis.  Done regularly, and especially in conjunction with one of our Catalyst internal protocols, intensive application can give your body the phytonutrients it needs to completely turn your skin around. Though herbs like Rosemary, Clove, and Thyme have well-documented immune regulating and antioxidant properties, FACE the facts is more than a collection of herbal concentrates.  MirorCore’s proprietary extraction and formulation system ensure that each plant extract’s nutrient profile perfectly complements the other, yielding a maximally effective, clinical grade herbal product.

Product Description

• Broad spectrum dermal immune and inflammation support that doesn’t over-dry the skin

Is Rhodiola The Next Superherb?

Rhodiola is a plant which root is used as medicine.

It is native to the arctic regions of Europe, Asia, and Alaska.
It has a long history of use as a medicinal plant in Iceland, Sweden, France, Russia, and Greece.
It is mentioned by the Greek physician Dioscorides as early as the first century AD.

Rhodiola is gaining popularity as an adaptogen herb with quiet amazing fat burning, energy enhancing and brain boosting benefits.

Adaptogens are a group of plants that can help your body adapt to physical, chemical, and environmental stress and rhodiola is one of the most effective in this family.

Benefits of Rhodiola include:

1. Burning Belly Fat
2. Increased Energy and Athletic Performance
3. Lowering Cortisol
4. Fighting Depression and Improving Brain Function

A compound found in Rhodiola called rosavin has been proven to trigger a fat burning response in the body.

It stimulates an enzyme called hormone-sensitive lipase which has the ability to burn fat as energy that is stored in the belly are - adipose tissue.
O course Rhodila works even better if you add some light exercise to your day.

A controlled placebo study done on 130 overweight patients at Georgian State Hospital showed that taking rhodiola rosea extract daily led to a mean weight loss of 19 pounds (11% reduction in body fat), compared to only 8 pounds of loss by the placebo group eating the exact same low calorie diet.

By increasing the red blood cell count it can increase once stamina and endurance.
A study published in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism in 2004 showed that rhodiola has anti-inflammatory benefits that helps with a shorter recovery time of muscles.

According to author and naturopathic physician Tori Hudson, he prescribes rhodiola to his patients for several reasons including: adrenal fatigue, chronic fatigue, reducing recovery time from workouts and enhancing athletic performance.

So if you are looking for a natural way to boost energy and increase athletic performance rhodiola coul be for you.

Everyday stressors can bring our body to a "fight or flight" mode, rhodiola can calm our body and balance out the cortisol that increases from a long period of time with emotional or physical stress.

Too high of cortisol may let your body experience:

• lowered blood glucose response
• abdominal weight gain
• thyroid issues
• hormone imbalance
• decreased memory
• weakened immunity

Another amazing benefit of rhodiola it's is ability to improve the health of the brain and fight depression.

Rhodiola increases the sensitivity of neurons (cells of your brain and nervous system) including two neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine.
These two neurotransmitters are known for increasing focus, memory, pleasure, and improving mood.

Many doctors of functional medicine prescribe rhodiola as an effective alternative to anti-depressant medications.  This works because rhodiola increases dopamine sensitivity which has been shown to improve mood and also help fight food cravings and addictions.

In a clinical trail with 150 individuals suffering from depression, participants were given rhodiola rosea for one month.
At the end of the trail two-thirds of the group had full remission of depression symptoms and daytime weakness had also greatly improved.

Also, some physicians have started recommending rhodiola for ADD and ADHD because of it’s ability to improve focus.

Definitely be on the lookout for rhodiola to become the next superherb.

The recommended supplemental dose of rhodiola rosea extract with rosavin is around 250-500mg 2x daily taken 15 minutes before meals.
