Thank you Young Living for being ahead of the research & bringing us what we need in the highest quality…..Super Magnesium, Mineral Essence, NingXia Red, Master Formula, MegaCal

Research shows a high-magnesium diet slows brain aging and lowers dementia risk.

A study from the Australian National University shows that increased magnesium intake may help protect against age-related brain decline, particularly benefiting women.

Researchers analyzed data from over 6,000 participants aged 40–73, tracking their dietary magnesium consumption and its effects on brain volume and white matter lesions. Those consuming more than 550 mg of magnesium daily had brains appearing nearly a year younger by age 55 compared to those with lower intake.

The study also found that postmenopausal women experienced the greatest neuroprotective benefits, possibly due to magnesium’s anti-inflammatory properties.

Magnesium, found in foods like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains, has long been known for its health benefits, but this research highlights its potential role in dementia prevention. With no cure for dementia, experts stress the importance of dietary strategies for brain health.

Study co-author Dr. Erin Walsh emphasizes the need for further research to confirm these findings and inform public health recommendations. Given the rising global prevalence of dementia, this study underscores the importance of modifiable lifestyle factors in reducing cognitive decline and promoting long-term brain health.

You would have to agree that when you have a throbbing head, you can hardly do or finish anything. At times, it won't even let you rest or sleep.

Tame your throbbing head with the convenience of a roll-on, featuring Young Living’s pure essential oils for the relief that you are longing for. I just take a short nap after applying this and I'm good to go!

Ingredients:
•Empty 10 ml roller bottle (a clean and empty Tranquil or Deep Relief container will do the trick)
•20 drops Peppermint
• 20 drops M-Grain
•10 drops Rosemary
• V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex

Instructions:
1. Add the essential oils to the clean and empty roller bottle.
2. Fill the remainder of the bottle with V-6.

YL tip: You can also make your head tension roll-on with a 5 or 15 ml empty essential oil bottle and a roller top. Adjust the recipe to create the proper ratios of essential oils to carrier oil for the bottle size you are using. If you’re using a 5 ml bottle, subtract 5 oil drops from each of the ingredients above. Add 5 oil drops to each if you’re using a 15 ml bottle.

To use:
1. Tighten the lid and shake the bottle to mix the oils together.
2. Roll directly onto your temples, forehead, neck, and crown of your head at the first sign of tension. Avoid applying near your eyes.
3. Rub the oil in gently with your fingertips for a soothing massage.

Oils are blessings. They help me address my concerns naturally. How about you? What do you do when you have head tension?

DiGize™ is one of our most sought-after blends for its powerful effects when applied directly on the stomach and bottoms of the feet. It is so effective that many people have actually started to love using essential oils after trying DiGize and find that it is a very shareable and easy to use essential oil.
DiGize is a powerful blend that combines the benefits of Tarragon, Ginger, Peppermint, Juniper, Lemongrass, Anise, and Patchouli essential oils. Diluting it with a carrier oil makes it easier to apply and share with everyone. Whether you are at a restaurant, on a plane, in a car, or on a boat, DiGize can come in handy and provide a much-needed comforting aroma and sensation.
Using DiGize is very simple; but we thought of one more way to apply DiGize on the go: a DIY roller! This DIY roller is great to take with you as you travel, keep in your purse, send in your kids’ backpacks, and share with others.
Grab a roller bottle and fill it halfway with V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex, add 25 drops of DiGize and 10 drops of Peppermint, replace the roller fitment, shake, and you’re done!
Adding additional Peppermint oil will give it a fresher scent, and the menthol will provide a cooling sensation when applied. The roller fitment will eliminate leftover oil on your fingers and help you avoid waste.
Tip: Try reusing your old Deep Relief™ or Breathe Again™ Roll-On bottles.

Mix 1 cup of bicarb of soda, ½ cup of cornflour and ¾ cup of water in a saucepan.

Cook over medium heat and stir well to combine. Stir continuously. The mix will boil then thicken to form a ball of dough after about 5 minutes.

2. Once it has pulled away from sides and no longer sticky, remove from heat.

3. Let it cool slightly, then add 30-40 drops of your chosen essential oil. Add 1-3 tablespoons of white glitter, depending how sparkly you want your ornaments!

4. Roll out to 6mm (¼ inch) thickness on a sheet of baking paper to prevent it sticking to counter top (don't roll too thin otherwise it will become too easy to break).

5. Use biscuit cutters to cut out ornaments. Tidy edges while still flexible, you can even dampen your finger to smooth it out.

6. Place on a baking sheet to dry.

7. Use a straw or skewer to make holes, or drill out holes once they are dry. Put a piece of ribbon or twine through the hole to hang.

8. Add oils to top up the scent if you wish. Enjoy!
