The Zyto Compass scanner

My latest testimonies

UPDATE – I want to share with everyone the exciting results this ZYTO Compass scanner has been giving me as I work with my clients. It’s a great tool and I am trying to get the word out so other Health Practitioners can take advantage of this tool. I think of how useful this tool is for Herbalists, Massage Therapists, Aromatherapists, Fitness Instructors and other Health Practitioners.

I realize this tool helps people feel more confident in herbal supplements when they see how well the reading connects with the issues they are dealing with.

Watch my latest youtube video to hear some of the testimonies. If you want more details about this tool and would like to get your Compass scan reading or you are interested in this tool for your holistic health business contact me on my website – www.motherknowsbest.net.

As a Massage Therapist I love the study of Aromatherapy and how it affects people with it’s many healing proprieties. I am even more intrigued as I use my new tool; the ZYTO Compass scanner. When I scan my clients it will suggest the best Nature Sunshine products for the person according to biofeedback. Many times certain essential oils are suggested. You can also do a special scan to find out the best essential oils for the individual, great for Massage Therapists who offer Aromatherapy treatments.

What is Aromatherapy??

It is the use of aromatic essential oils to benefit the body – in emotional and physical health and beauty. Science has discovered that our sense of smell plays a significant role in our overall health.

Here are two amazing essential oils I have been reading up on lately that I wanted to share with my readers…

Helichrysum
(5 ml.), Stock No. 3943-0
member price: $89.95 /retail price: $134.95

NSP Helichrysum Essential Oil offers relief to pain. With its deep-warming, grounding emotional effect, Helichrysum helps promote relaxation and balance. The uplifting, comforting qualities of our Helichrysum will help you unwind and find peace of mind.

Ingredients:

NSP Helichrysum Essential Oil is 100 percent pure and genuine, and it is wildcrafted (hand gathered in the wild while in bloom) in either Yugoslavia or Corsica in the Mediterranean.

Benefits:

• Known for its benefits to bruises, wounds and other injuries.
• Acts as an excellent cell regenerator.
• Helps reduce the formation of scar tissue and improves skin disorders.
• Contains antiseptic, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antibacterial compounds.
• Helps calm the respiratory system.
• Stimulating to the entire digestive system.
• Also supports the circulatory, immune and structural systems.

Systems affected:

Breasts, Circulation, Digestive System, Ears, Liver, Lymphatic System, Respiratory System, Skin, Structural System.

Nature’s Sunshine (NSP) Advantage

Varied species of Helichrysum can be found throughout the world, but most of these do not meet Nature’s Sunshine’s strict standards. That’s why NSP uses only Helichrysum italicum harvested from its indigenous soil in France. NSP guarantees that its Helichrysum Essential Oil is 100 percent pure and unadulterated. Rigorous scientific testing confirms that our essential oil is of the highest quality. In fact, we have rejected more Helichrysum than we have accepted. Also, you’ll find that NSP Helichrysum Essential Oil is competitively priced.
Recommended Use:

NSP Helichrysum Essential Oil enhances massages and baths. Use it as an inhalant to minimize tension, and apply it to skin to guard against pain and infection.
User Care:

Helichrysum Essential Oil is for external use only. Pregnant women should not use Helichrysum. Do not apply it near your eyes or mucous membranes. Keep all essential oils out of reach of children.

Jasmine Absolute Pure Essential Oil

(Jasminum officinalis, hexane)
(2 ml.), Stock No. 3890-1
member price: $50.95 /retail price: $50.95

This climbing shrub is grown in many parts of the world and the flowers are only picked at night when the aroma is most powerful.
Jasmine is a scent nearly everyone loves with a deep, sweet, rich floral aroma. Real jasmine, like rose, is beyond comparison to the imitation fragrances available.

This sensually sweet floral aroma has been used as an aphrodisiac for centuries.

Jasmine supports the nervous system and is especially helpful for the mature woman’s changing needs and dry, sensitive skin.
This oil is considered one of the most precious oils due to its many benefits. It can be blended with almost any other essential oil with a few drops making a big difference in any blend. It is often used as an anti-depressant, stress-relief, a sedative and as an antiseptic. It is also helpful for muscle spasms and coughs.

A powerful mood enhancer, jasmine helps overcome feelings of anxiety, bitterness, burnout, dejection, depression, guilt, indifference, jealousy, negativity and repression. It brings feelings confidence, creativity, happiness, intuition, peace and self-awareness.

Systems Affected:

Hypothalamus, Liver, Pineal, Reproductive Glands, Respiratory System, Skin

User Care:

For external use only. Do not take Jasmine internally. Do a patch test first on skin. Avoid in cases of epilepsy. Keep away from eyes. Keep all essential oils out of reach of children.

Ingredients:

100% pure Jasminum grandiflorum oil

Your herbalist Marguerite

It has been about a month now since my ZYTO Compass scanner was delivered to my home office. This is a tool I’ve wanted for a while, but was motivated to go ahead and get it after I attended an event here in Chicago sponsored by Dr. Hugh Jenkins and representatives from ZYTO Compass. The presenter clearly explained how this scanner works and how they were able to link all of Nature Sunshine’s products to this software.

You can watch a video I posted on a previous blog post. It is a simple test herbalists and natural health practitioners can offer their clients. It only takes about 5 minutes. It helps people to know which supplements their bodies prefers. It has been helping my clients to be more aware of their weaker body systems. I am excited to be able and help my clients and my own family get on healthy programs. I am already seeing the benefits with myself and my family.

I created a 2-part youtube video to describe how this great tool has helped me as an herbalist and some of the experiences I have seen already with my clients. Good video for  natural health consultants and massage therapists to watch who may be considering purchasing this tool. Continue to follow my blog for more updates.

Watch the video and feel free to leave your comments.

Aromatherapy treatment.

Alternative health therapy is becoming more popular. One recent article noted that Alternative medicine booming in popularity.

People are learning that prescription drugs and surgeries aren’t the only option to deal with health issues. Relief from Arthritis can be achieved with the ancient Chinese treatment of Acupuncture. Some people find relief with massage, a form of soft-tissue manipulation. Yoga is also great for Arthritis and other pain relief. It is also great for stress and even depression.

Herbs are another alternative that has been around for centuries, along with Aromatherapy for many health issues to cleanse, build and activate the system.

People find Chiropractors, Massage Therapists, Naturopaths and Herbalists can offer the services they are looking for in dealing with various conditions from migraine headaches to female health issues.

People have testified that massage helped their serious back problems. One woman visited a Naturopath that gave her the answer to what was going on with her body with Fibroid tumors, Endometriosis and cysts. She was able to avoid surgery. One doctor recommends going to a local massage school for affordable massages. They aid in toxin removal and increases oxygen flow through out the body.

You can find great testimonies on this blog from people who got health benefits from herbs under TESTIMONIES.

Why a Little ‘Me Time’ is Important for your Health and Well Being

By Aurelia Williams

As mothers, it is in our very nature to nurture and care for others. We play doctor, cook, chauffeur, teacher, lawyer, and the occasional referee as well, and yet most of us don’t take time off for ourselves. I bet you can remember the last time you did a load of laundry, the last time one of your little ones gave you a hug or perhaps the last time one of your kids did a little artwork on the wall (smile), but when was the last time you took time out for you?

It isn’t selfish to carve out a little ‘me time’ – it is actually a great way to nurture yourself and a wonderful way to rejuvenate yourself. As a matter of fact, it is very important to be sure to take time out for yourself. I made a vow a long time ago to be sure to take time for myself, away from home. I have a loving husband and 4 children and I make sure to do something for me monthly (often times more). Whether I am alone or with girlfriends, I find the time that I spend dedicated to me priceless. My girlfriends and I have created what we call a ‘Girls Day Out’! This is where you pal around with your friend or friends and just have fun (childless fun). Just imagine being able to drink an entire cup of tea or coffee before it gets cold or actually eating your entire meal without having to share it.

Be sure to steal a few hours a week for yourself to get away. If for some reason you can’t leave the house, perhaps just take some quiet time for yourself after the children are in bed and treat yourself to a good book, a bubble bath, a nice movie or anything else that you get enjoyment from.

You remember that saying? If mama ain’t happy, nobody is happy? Well, I tend to agree with it, so try to take time off when you can to replenish your mind, body and spirit. Usually after just a few hours of ‘me time’, you will feel totally renewed, rejuvenated and ready to tackle just about ANYTHING (even that pile of laundry!)
