Prometheus Springs ~ Original Capsaicin Elixir ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ 2 WINNERS ~ Ends 6/22

PROMETHEUS was the Titan god of forethought and crafty counsel who was entrusted with the task of moulding mankind out of clay. His attempts to better the lives of his creation brought him into direct conflict with Zeus. Firstly he tricked the gods out of the best portion of the sacrificial feast, acquiring the meat for the feasting of man. Then, when Zeus withheld fire, he stole it from heaven and delivered it to mortal kind hidden inside a fennel-stalk. As punishment for these rebellious acts, Zeus ordered the creation of Pandora (the first woman) as a means to deliver misfortune into the house of man, or as a way to cheat mankind of the company of the good spirits. Prometheus meanwhile, was arrested and bound to a stake on Mount Kaukasos where an eagle was set to feed upon his ever-regenerating liver. Generations later the great hero Hercules came along and released the old Titan from his torture.


The Greek Titan god of forethought, who suffered his liver being eaten everyday. Gifter of fire. Name sake of this beautiful drink that I now LOVE.

It's spicy, sweet, crisp - perfect. Delightful on the palette and makes you feel good. Really good. Elixir is the right word.

I did research on Capsaicin - here's what I found:

Chillies are excellent source of Vitamin, A, B, C and E with minerals like molybdenum, manganese, folate, potassium, thiamin, and copper. Chilli contains seven times more vitamin C than orange.



Ever since its introduction to India in 1498, chillies have been included in Ayurvedic medicines and used as tonic to ward off many diseases. Chillies are good for slimming down as it burns the calorie easily. Chillies stimulate the appetite, help to clear the lungs, and stimulate digestive system.



Chillies have vitamin C and Vitamin A containing beta-carotenoids which are powerful antioxidant. These antioxidants destroy free radical bodies. Usually, these radical bodies may travel in the body and cause huge amounts of damage to cells. These radical bodies could damage nerve and blood vessel in diabetes.



Chillies have antioxidants that can destroy cholesterol which could cause major disease like atherosclerosis and other heart diseases. Other disease like cataract and arthritis like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It also dilates airway of lungs which reduces asthma and wheezing.


Detoxicants : Chillies acts as detoxifiers as they removes waste products from our body and increases supply nutrients to the tissues. It also acts as gastrointestinal detoxicants helping in digestion of food.


Pain killer : Chillies stimulates the release of endorphins that are natural pain killers. It relieves pain caused due to shingles (Herpes Zoster), bursitis, diabetic neuropathy and muscle spasm in shoulders, and extremities. It also helps in relieving arthritic pains in the extremities.


Antibiotic : Chillies brings fresh blood to the site of the infection. The fresh blood fights infection. The white blood cells and leukocytes present in the fresh blood fights viruses.


Brain : Capsaicin stimulates brain to excrete endorphin and gives a sense of pleasure when ingested. This is the reason people get addicted to chilli.



Cancer : It has been noted that vitamin C, beta-carotene and folic acid found in chilli reduces the risk of colon cancer. Chillies such as red pepper have cartonoid lycopene, which prevents cancer disease.



Heart Attack : Chillies have vitamin B6 and folic acid. The vitamin B reduces high homocysteine level. High homocysteine levels have been shown to cause damage to blood vessels and are associated with a greatly increased risk of heart attack and stroke. It also converts homocysteine into other molecules which is beneficial to lower cholesterol level.


Lung disease : Chillies gives relief from nasal congestion by increasing the metabolism. It also dilates airway of lungs which reduces asthma and wheezing. It relieves chronic congestion in people who are heavy drinkers.

Can you dig? I mean look at that list of health benefits. And you know what? You can feel it by the time you finish the first bottle. It just feels good!

Speaking of first bottle, the first drink will bite ya. It leaves you thinking, "is this ok?". The sweet quickly balances the heat and you want another drink. And another, and another and soon you're craving it all the time! Knowing the benefits, it becomes a guiltless pleasure.

With flavors like Lemon-Ginger, Citrus-Cayanne, Mango-Chilli, Lychee-Wasabi, Spicy Pear, and Pomegranate-Black Pepper, you can understand the the name Prometheus - he gifted humans with fire and it was GOOD!

Tersano ~ Lotus Home Cleaning System ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 2/11

100% Chemical Free Cleaning

The Lotus System has two main functions:

◦to clean and sanitize surfaces with the spray a bottle

◦to remove pesticides and kill germs on food and small objects with a bowl


Benefits:
◦Streak free with zero residues

◦Destroys odors without masking- fragrance-free

◦Kills bacteria that cause food to decay, increasing shelf life up to 400%

◦Destroys pesticides

◦Improves the taste of foods or other edible product


How it Works:

◦The lotus® system's Oxyshield® technology infuses tap water with ozone — a natural sanitizer that is safe and harmless to healthy cells.

◦Ozone-activated water is widely accepted as a safe and effective way to decontaminate all kinds of foods- meats, poultry, seafood, fruits and vegetables.


◦Washing produce in ozonated water significantly reduces pesticide residues on the surface of produce. With the lotus system, expensive "organic" isn't the only way to enjoy food with less pesticides!

◦Ozonated lotus water quickly kills germs all kinds of surfaces — cutting boards, kitchen counters, stovetops, knives, sinks, toilets, garbage cans or diaper pails.

◦Excellent for neutralizing pet odors in carpets, dog beds, upholstery or car interiors.

◦Sanitize everyday items like sponges, dish cloths, small toys, pacifiers, nipples, can openers, kitchen gadgets and utensils — in cool tap water.

I LOVE it!  I use it to clean the whole house and it feels cleaner than ever. The system is super easy to use - just fill the bottle or bowl with tap water in two to four minutes, you've got  liquefied ozone that is ready to be used for up to 15 minutes for optimal sanitizing and 45 minutes for a powerful cleaning solution. I love being able to make up the solution whenever I need it.
.
I am so pleased with the Lotus System - everything feels so clean and I feel good knowing I'm doing it without nasty chemicals. Lotus is good for my family & the environment. The clean feels really clean. It also saves you tons of money on cleansers.

I even water my plants with the water. I am planning on buying the Lotus water treatment system for our drinking water.

So if you're frugal, green, love a really good clean, I would highly recommend the Lotus System.

Wonderbar ~ All-in-One Skincare Bar ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 11/16

Brings baby skin back / Brings balance to skin – oily skin becomes less oily and dry skin less dry / Firms, lifts & puts a glow on your face in as little as three minutes / Minimizes the redness associated with Rosacea / Continues working throughout the day / Tightens and minimizes facial pores / Removes free radicals & toxins from your face, and replenishes it with the right nutrients / Fights Eczema, Acne & Psoriasis / Gives your face a natural, healthy radiance / Lightens pigmentation and freckles / Cleanses, Tones, Exfoliates and Moisturizes…all-in-one and cost effective / Moisturizes skin after every wash (due to Chlorey’nahre) / Works equally well as a shampoo as it helps improve the scalp and hair to become soft and shiny / Works well as an aftershave treatment to reduce razor burn and the incidence of ingrown hairs

What is the WONDERBAR?


The WONDERBAR, as the name suggests, is a revolutionary mixture of the Deep Moor from Austria and Chlorey’nahre- a proprietary ingredient in Wondeux products. When combined, these wonderful ingredients work their magic and do wonders on our skin!

Made from Heilmoor of Austria, this special mud or clay is created over 3000 years ago. It has the essence of over 700 herbs and plants. A controlled item, a good bar of MOOR essence can retail up to USD $300 in the European countries where it is well known for its benefits. (The less expensive ones found in the market are usually made from the water where they harvest the moor, not the moor clay itself.) Great for improving your skin’s health, the facial bar immediately works on your skin when you lather and apply it all over. The Heilmoor and Chlorey’nahre will penetrate your epidermis into the skin organ and one will experience a total detoxification. Just like giving your face a spa treatment!



Chlorey Nahre at work


Chlorey’nahre is a unique formulation derived from algae to keep your skin radiant. The use of nanotechnology to develop Chlorey’nahre results in quick & complete absorption into your dermis to help your skin stay supple, radiant and youthful. Chlorey’nahre also helps the skin become healthier and allows it to regain its natural ability to rejuvenate the cells quickly.

Because it works on detoxifying and bringing a balance back to your skin (baby-smooth skin again), it is suitable for all skin types! Be it oily skin, dry skin, sensitive skin, fair skin or dark skin, the WONDERBAR facial bar works on all skin types to restore balance giving your skin a radiant glow

The “Healing Crisis”


Some people may go through a Detox period also known as the “Healing Crisis”. As the Wonderbar works on repairing the skin to restore its balance, one may experience some itchiness, dryness, peeling or even breakouts. This happens as the toxins trapped under the skin are flushed out. Most skin care products you find on the market act to suppress toxins in the skin, preventing them from coming out (eg. cystic acne, blackheads, etc.). This hinders the skin from being healed completely. Most of us have used these products. The MOOR substance found in the Wonderbar (with the essence of over 700 herbs & plants), is extremely effective in flushing out all of these toxins that may have been trapped under the skin for many years.

Dehydration

Dehydration causes the skin to lose its radiance. This makes the skin more fragile and less effective in acting as a barrier against external irritants & infection.

Our advanced, unique algae, Chlorey’nahre, heals & protects your skin against dehydration, external irritants & pollutants.

The “Healing Crisis” indicates that the product is working. Whereas some may not experience it at all, which indicates there is not a lot to be flushed out.


The duration of the “Healing Crisis” may vary from one person to the other. Some will get through it in a few days and some a few weeks. Please continue usage and do not worry, as the Wonderbar is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.


Ultimately, after this period is over, a more youthful, healthy, radiant skin will be revealed. You will be amazed by the results!


Helpful Tips:

•Applying a plain moisturizer after each wash can help minimize the dryness brought on by the “Healing Crisis”

•Using too much moisturizer, on the other hand, will slow down the “Healing Crisis”; use only what you really need based on the dryness you are experiencing

•If symptoms persist, it may be caused by the combination of other products one is currently using with the bar that are chemically non-compatible


Let me tell you - this is a beauty treatment in a bar. I used it as directed and went through a mild healing crisis. My skin got very dry. I used coconut oil after every use to get through it. I was starting to get worried about the dry skin, but suddenly it stopped and it was like I had new skin - not only was my complexion refined, but my skin tone was far better as well - it was like a mini face lift or something.
 
Now, if I'm going out and want to look nice, I use the bar as a one time use beauty treatment, and my skin is taut, nicely colored, and visibly smooth.
 
You just moisten your hands lightly and work the bar until your hands feel like they have lotion on them. Smooth over face and neck like you would any soap or lotion, and allow to dry for 5 minutes. You don't use it in the shower because the point of it is for it to dry.
 
It's natural. No chemicals and does some pretty amazing stuff. With your favorite moisturizer, it could be the only skincare product you need.
 
Would make a perfect gift for any woman, anyone with skin concerns-Rosacea, Eczema, Psoriasis, teen with acne, health minded person who doesn't want chemicals in their products.

You can purchase the Wonderbar online @ http://www.wonderbarusa.com/shop
 
WIN IT!!!
 
Three lucky winners will recieve a Wonderbar !!

CuZn ~ Turbo Shower ~ Shower Filter ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 9/26

Did you know you absorb more chlorine through your skin while you shower than you do by drinking the same water? The warm water of the shower opens your pores, and you literally absorb it like a sponge.

Chlorine is chemical that attacks organic matter - it kills bacteria which is why it is added to our water in the first place. Chlorine also bonds with the protein in our bodies. It is harmful to our hair, skin, eyes, nasal & oral membranes via our showers. So why would we want to bathe in the stuff?

Not only unhealthy, but if you have chemically treated hair, the chlorine dries it out further and all you want is to moisturize. Colored hair is the same thing and it will strip your hair color as well.

Turbo Shower removes chlorine from shower water instantly and softens the water as it dechlorinates up to 20,000 gallons or a year, whichever comes first. There is no maintenance and no backwashing, and the filters are replaceable.

I know the difference I felt in my hair after only a few showers using the Turbo Shower. My water felt softer - my body wash was more sudsy, my skin felt almost moisturized compared to showers before the Turbo Shower.

It makes me feel so good knowing that my kids are taking baths and showers sans the chlorine. I know that their little systems aren't being gunked up and that it is one more healthy step for them.

Features:

• Includes hex wrench for quick and easy filter change.
• The New, Patented FilterFoam PowerDisk Non-Carbon Based Filtration Media That's Non-Toxic and Recyclable.
• Removes both free and combined chlorine's
• Compact Design
• Easy to Install, Easy to Open
• Easy to Change, Easy to Refill
• Fits any standard thread Showerhead
• Lifetime Warranty on Housing
• Works with your own shower head
  

I can't recommend the Turbo Shower enough - think of it as a beauty & health treatment rolled into one!

They even sell the CuZn Bath Ball & Turbo Shower at Mighty Nest, which is an awesome place to find natural products for a healthy home.

BUY IT:

You can purchase Turbo Shower online at http://www.cuzn.com or at Mighty Nest

WIN IT!!!

One lucky winner will receive the CuZn Turbo Shower :)
