Feeling tired can stem from a number of physical,
mental, or emotional problems. Lack of sleep, stress, poor diet and
depression are common causes for fatigue. Excess weight is a big factor
in many illnesses. The more overweight we are, the more energy it
requires to do everyday tasks. Exercise can especially be hard for
people who are overweight, which leads to less activity. Exercise
sometimes isn't an option because we are too tired to exercise, making
this a vicious cycle.
Here are a few natural things you can do to break
the cycle.
Change Your Diet. Get rid of the
processed food and replace it with fresh fruits and vegetables.
Eat at least 2 fruits and 6 or more vegetable servings a day. Eat
whole
grains, clean meats, and drink two quarts of water every day.
Western Botanicals Weightloss formula
contains herbs to strengthen the adrenal and thyroid glands, assists
digestion and bowel function and supports healthy kidneys. It contains
Gymnema leaf which is helpful for curbing sugar cravings. Available in
capsules
and
liquid.
Don't Skip Meals. Eating
breakfast encourages your metabolism to get started in the morning. It
also encourages your energy level to get your body moving first thing
in the morning and throughout the day. Stay adequately hydrated with
water, which will also help improve energy throughout the day.
Be Active.
Exercise can be as simple as taking a walk around the block in the
morning or during your lunch break. Walking is a great way to boost
energy, even ten to twenty minutes a day can make a difference. I have
found 30 day fitness challenges to be a fun way to work on building my
muscles, and since it is using my body, I don’t have to buy equipment
or go to a gym. Take up a fun sport, go biking, play tennis, move your
body!
Get sufficient sleep. Sufficient sleep
will keep you feeling refreshed and alert for the day.
Western Botanicals Sweet Dreams formula
is a natural, non-narcotic herbal formula that helps to relax the body,
mind and spirit allowing you to gently drift into sleep. Appropriate
for children and adults, not habit forming and completely non-toxic to
the system. Available in
capsules
and

Check
Your Thyroid. The thyroid gland produces, stores, and releases
hormones that regulate your metabolism. A healthy thyroid gland will
support strong energy levels.
Western Botanicals Thyroid Formula
supports normal thyroid function, available in
capsules
and
liquid.
Add Supplements.
Earth's Nutrition is a great way
to get a good helping of the whole foods you need, in
capsules
and
powder.
Western
Botanicals Super Adrenal Support liquid
and
Ginseng
Plus Formula are adrenal support herbs which aid our ability to
handle stress and reduce fatigue. Available in
capsules
and
liquid.
The liver is the
largest internal organ and handles
many bodily functions. Everything we ingest, breathe, or absorb through
the skin is processed through the liver. It plays an important role in
digestion and metabolism, regulating the production, storage, and
release of sugar, fats, and cholesterol. Support healthy liver function
with
Western
Botanicals Liver/Gallbladder Formula. Available in
capsules
and
liquid.
With a few lifestyle changes and added supplements, your body can begin
to break out of the fatigue cycle, and you can get back to doing the
things you love.
Have a great
month!
Kathryn
Roller bottles
are a great way to use essential oils. I woke up the other
morning with a slightly stiff neck and immediately rubbed in the Garden
Essence Blue Blend that I have next to my bed. I have it in the new
1 oz. roller bottle mixed with fractionated coconut oil. I love
the fractionated
coconut oil because it is a light oil that is easily absorbed into
the skin. I massaged it for a minute and was still able to do my
morning exercise routine.
We have a new supplier
for the rollerbottles and have been able to reduce the price to $1.50 for a
single 10 ml. bottle! We also have been able to package a six
pack of the 10 ml bottles for $7.16 making them $1.20 each! The
10 ml size is 1/3 of an ounce and an easy size to stick in your purse
or pocket. 
The 1 oz.
roller bottle looks huge in comparison to the 10 ml size. It is
much handier to use for big areas. We have them packaged in a two
pack for $3.16. The roller bottles can be purchased on the empty bottles page.
Fractionated coconut oil is
available on the Garden
Essence carrier oil page for a 4 oz and 8 oz. size. We also
sell the Nature’s
Way liquid coconut oil, which is fractionated coconut oil, and
available in 10 oz. and 20 oz. bottles. I love to use the Nature’s Way oil with
the squirt lid making it easy to get it into the roller bottles.
Fractionated coconut oil has a long shelf life making it an ideal
carrier oil for mixing your Garden Essence Oils.
