making it a fun fact Friday about this unusual antioxidant that people don't

really think of of how they can fight those chemicals and toxins

remember this month is June and this I'm talking about all about how we can help

either limit our exposure or get rid of those chemicals and toxins that we are

exposed to or that we ingest to help us lose that weight right because those

toxins and chemicals our body's trying to protect us from them and so the fat

is held on in our body to protect us from those toxins and chemicals so

tonight I'm going to share with you an unusual antioxidant all right so don't

forget once again if you ever watch me as I'm going live and you share this

I will respond back let me know who's on tonight who's watching the replay

all right so fun fact Friday essential oil lavender do you know that lavender

is a great antioxidant and it has so many more health benefits

you might even realize now essential oils is starting to becoming a little

bit more popular than they were you know back in the day a lot of people are

focusing on the holistic healthier life which is great and amazing and trying to

get away from some of the things that can cause toxins in our bodies well

lavender essential oil and in specific there is particular type of essential

oil and excuse me I'll probably butcher the name here is lavandula angustifolia

and i will write that name in the comment section for you but that is the

most cuz there's so many different types of lavender essential oils but that's the one

particularly be focusing on tonight now lavender has a calming effect and helps

with sleep and I go over some of the other benefits first and it helps with

people who may be suffering from some depression sadness so and also with

headaches and migraine right it does it are so many health if it's already and

remember you know since lavender helps us to sleep sleep is so so important

especially good quality asleep I've been mentioning that in someone broadcasts as

well and it promotes that our body making that miracle hormone you know

human growth hormone right anti aging anti stress hormone and it helps us to

burn fat and be build lean muscle so lavender helps us to sleep so if you're

having issues with sleep maybe you have some insomnia I know that melatonin works

great but some people are really really sensitive to the melatonin and they

actually sleep longer and they feel like more groggy in the morning than rested

lavender if you diffuse it either before or during while you're sleeping that will

really help you to get that good quality sleep they actually did a research study

on this and they research college students I mean goodness you're in college

you're stressed right and I'm sure you know I can admit to that my sleep patterns

weren't that good and I wasn't really getting that good quality sleep drop a

one the comment section if you can relate either as a college student

or right now where you just one you just cannot and you're struggling to get that

good quality sleep I know I was that way in college I mean you're up

late you're trying to get papers done and you're stressed out about exams and

tests - they researched this with college students they found that with the college

students when they just used it um while either before or during their sleep they

found that 60% of them slept better with the lavender oil than had they slept

without even use in it another way that you can do if you don't have a diffuser

is you kind of put a couple drops in the palm of your hands rub your hands

together put it on your chest put it on your neck and then you'll be inhaling

it as you sleep now lavender also has a calming effect so if

you feeling stressed out I mean we're such a stressed-out Society anymore so

if you're feeling stressed out you just all you have to do is once again rub a

couple of drops on your palms your hands inhale it you can put it on your neck

put it on your chest and that will help you inhale it as well and actually helps

for pets too and I can testify to that because when I moved down to Florida from

New Jersey it's like a 20 plus hour ride right I have two cats that I bringing

down with me now before then I used to put spray bath and body has of the

lavender kind of sleep spray that pillow spray to spray on your pillow so my cats

were kind of used cuz I'd always spray it before I went to bed at night

and then when we were traveling we know like these cats they they don't travel well

if you ever have cat some cats travel well mine just did not travel well I mean

be like psycho cat even just going to the vet so what I did was yeah I asked

for you know the vet for a sedative just kind of try to calm them down but that freaked

me out because they were responding just really weirdly to it in fact one of my

cat's the whole time was going whoal he literally sounded like he was saying whoa whoa

whoa so didn't have the other half of the sedative I was supposed to give them but

I remember that I had my sleep spray with me the lavender so I'm like let me just

try this because they're you so I sprayed it and within like 15 minutes

both cats were calm they weren't like psycho kitties

they were sleeping I'm like man this stuff really works for them and they

were used to it so it even helps pet too so has a calming effect

they also did research study of this when they research people who were depressed

and they didnt say they are clinically depressed there's different levels of

depression but they found that actually helped alleviate their symptoms as well

so now what we really like about this is its antioxidant benefits right because

hey we're trying to fight those free radicals that are the toxins the

chemicals that cause damage to our body and us as well as women you know help us

with the gained weight right and not be able to lose weight going through those

weight loss plateaus so what this is found is it's actually better than vitamin

C as far as an antioxidant they're actually calling this a super

antioxidant and once again it's a specific type of lavender it's lavandula

and I'm probably once again going to butcher this out put it in the comment

section for you because there's different essential lavandula

angustifolia ty saying that one's ten times fast right and once again it if

you just use or vaporize lavender oil I actually have a diffuser here it's going

off right now I moved it because I wanted to show you I got this diffuser

right off of Amazon it's a pretty inexpensive there's different varieties

of vaporizers there's a spa if you've ever gone to a spa and is there

kind of bigger more expensive and I'm actually having it go off like every 30

seconds so it will go off for like ten seconds stop come back one for after

thirty seconds so I just keep this around and what they found is with the

antioxidant if you inhale it if you put it in that diffuser and continuous for 60

minutes one hour each day that it has so many benefits as an antioxidant and

they're finding such good results with that and lavender oil also we love

antioxidant benefit so many benefits to it and also can helps with cuts or

scrapes help with the healing properties helps with dry skin sunburn skin some

people who have eczema or dermatitis they're finding fabulous results with that and what

you can do is you can put a couple of drops in what's called a carrier oil

is whether it's going to be your jojoba oil or your coconut oil and rub it into

your skin especially the coconut oil you're going to get so

much moisturizing out of it and also the healing benefits as well when you

combine the two together so we have this fabulous fabulous essential oil

lavender I've been using it as well because for those who suffer from

headaches and migraines drop a 2 in the comment section if you're a headache

or migraine sufferer or any and you know just sometimes nothing helps you've got

the pain and then you've got you know especially at night time you're trying

to sleep you can't sleep and it really just messes up your with your sleep

patterns if you have a migraine or headache at night and instead of

reaching for that over-the-counter medication try inhaling lavender oil and

especially combined with peppermint if you drop have two drops of each

lavender oil and peppermint oil in the palm of your hands rub the palm of your

hands together and inhale it for 15 minutes you can even rub it on your neck

on your temples and on the side of your neck and then inhale it for 15 minutes

they've found such results of relief in the pain now it won't necessarily take

away the whole pain itself although I have had that happen with a couple of

headaches that I've had like wow I haven't had to take anything which is

great but it really significantly decrease the pain that you have once

again that's two drops of lavender oil and peppermint oil in the palm of your

hand rub your palms together you're going to put it on the back of your neck

on the temples on your forehead because you're going to be able to inhale it

then and then you can just inhale it out of your palm of your hand and another

thing I forgot to tell you for that calming benefit like I said diffuse it before

during or before you sleep or after asleep if you actually put it on on the

soles of your feet that has an immediate calming effect if you're

ever familiar with reflexology where they kind of rub the soles of your feet

and they can tell if you have certain issues in your body it's kind of like an

immediate calming effects with the with the lavender so great great great

essential oil now if you're not familiar with essential oils maybe haven't it used

them before you do want to get what's called a therapeutic grade essential oil

because there is lavender that is more perfume and it has

a lot of chemicals in it you don't want to do that you want something that is

strictly a therapeutic grade oil okay and then I do the Numa brand there's

also Doterra there's also Young Living so if you know of anyone who does

that you can contact them but also chiropractors they are so holistic in

what they do some of them even sell it in their practice so if you go to a

chiropractor you may be some from you know to get your adjustment and your

next appoinment you can call the office say hey you know do you sell the essential

oils and you might know off the top of your head that they do right and you can talk

to your chiropractor more about that I've know of a couple of chiropractors

in town who actually sell it right in their office which is great and that's

just one essential oil essential oils are so great for our overall health and

wellness lavender oil of being really really great I'm actually just started

using this probably about two months ago I started really to research essential

oils and it has helped me with some headaches

it helps come with the stress like I said I just use it I'll show you this

again I just got this right off by Amazon and now if you can see it but it

has lights and it has it'll change the different colors with lights there it goes

and you can have it it's very fairly inexpensive and there's different kinds

of diffusers that you can buy so I hope you found this beneficial if you have

share it with someone or tag someone in the comment section and drop a comment

what was your your take away from this what was your one thing that you learned

that you're like oh wow that was great drop in the comment section even if

you're watching the replay like I said I didn't know you know a lot about

lavender except for like what I got from Bath & Body right the the sleep spray I'm

like oh it's helping me sleep better you know and calm in the cat's down and in

the but if you get the therapeutic grade that's where you're going to really really reap those

antioxidants benefit your sleep benefit your calming benefits and remember sleep

also important for weight loss because when we're sleeping and getting that

good quality sleep our body's going to be naturally making that human miracle

hormone HGH human growth hormone that helps us burn fat
