Yarrow Pom has Transformed my Skin
Yarrow Pom was one of the newly released oils that came out at Convention in September of 2018. It has quickly become a favorite and next to Rose Touch is my favorite oil... I have always struggled with my skin and since having kids have struggled with my hormones and metabolism. Since I have been taking it internally and using it topically I have noticed some incredible differences. But lets chat first at what this oil duo is profiled for.
Supports the Metabolism, Take 2 drops in a veggie cap twice daily.
Supports the Body to keep the Immune System humming.
Reduces Inflammation in the body both internally and on the outside by helping with healthy cell proliferation.
Soothe the body and the mind, (Central Nervous System).
So since October I have been taking Yarrow/Pom, Turmeric, Frankincense, Lemon, Copaiba, and Pink and Black Pepper in a veggie cap for healthy cell proliferation, immune boosting, metabolism and overall wellness.. I have felt great. I made no other changes and lost 7 points the first month. I also noticed a beautiful energy boost and just feel amazing.
I have also been using Yarrow/Pom in my moisturizer or by itself only skin am and pm and my skin is radiating. The texture is smooth, the redness around my nose and the hyper-pigmentation on my forehead and around my eyes has gone away. My husband has been using too and his wrinkles have drastically minimized and I tell him he has, "Peaches and Cream skin" at the age fo 44 yrs." :)
That is not all I have noticed that this oil calms me and I feel more grounded and not so moody. I especially get moody a few days before I cycle and since I have been taking this cocktail internally I am not nearly as moody and cycles are not even close to as intense as they have been.
SO HOW IS THIS OIL COMBO SO EFFECTIVE?
According to the DoTerra Science blog this is what is highlighted,
"Yarrow|Pom is an expertly crafted proprietary blend of Yarrow essential oil and cold-pressed Pomegranate seed oil designed to be your go-to for a true inside-out approach to aging, vitality, overall wellness, and, quite frankly, how to get that glow. This synergistic and first-of-its-kind blend naturallyup-regulates the body’s protective transcription factors while activating skin-protecting proteins (inhibiting the enzymes that breakdown elasticity and collagen) with the added benefit of promoting collagen production.* Additionally, this active botanical powerhouse can be applied topically to revitalize aging skin and taken internally to support a healthy inflammatory response at the source and promotes healthy metabolic function."
There are 3 main chemical constituents that make this oil amazing and powerful.
β-caryophyllene
Punicic acid,
chamazulene
So lets break it down:
β-caryophyllene is a powerful chemical constituent that can act on the CB2 receptors in the brain and therefore it can activate the benefits of our endocannaboid system. Let me explain so its easier to understand.
The Endocanbenoid System (EBS) is the primary homeostatic regulatory system of the body. Its in charge of regulating all the major body systems such as:
Nervous System
Digestive System
Immune System
Inflammatory Response/ Pain modulation.
Metabolism
Stress/Mood
Sleep/ Circadian Rhythm
Fertility
Skin Health
Arterial/ Respiratory Health
So when using Yarrow/Pom the constituents in the oil are actually supporting the bodies own processes and supporting the cells to stay oxygenated and then in turn do what they were meant to.
Punicic Acid is relatively new and is still being aggressively studied. Pomegranate Seed Oil is an oil extract from Pomegranate Seed and it’s benefits include:
promoting heart health,
fighting cancer,
acts as a natural aphrodisiac,
controlling and repairing sun and environmental damage on skin,
promotes flawless skin,
helps to support immunity,
helps treat arthritis,
improves memory,
helps with hair growth
helps to support metabolism and then with weight loss.
Punicic Acid is an essential fatty acid, and a potent antioxidant that is now being raved a superfood that you want to be consuming and incorporating into your wellness routine. Pomegranate Seed oil reduces inflammation and free radical damage, making it powerful when we live in an age where we are bombarded daily with toxins and our cells are constantly being threatened with toxicity and cell death.
Chamazulene baby!!! This is what makes Yarrow/Pom BLUE!!!! I love saying the word. So here is some info on this bad boy... Chamazulene is actually a bi-product of the distillation process, it does not exist prior to distillation. Some of the benefits of this are:
Its a scavenger that gets rid of free radical damage. ANTIOXIDANT!!!
Chamzulene has a higher antioxidant value than both Vitamin C and E, which makes it incredibly beneficial for the skin and immune system. Can you say crazy cool...
Supports a healthy immune response. It helps the body maintain that healthy response to stressors.
In Conclusion:
This oil needs to be in your routine. You will fall in love with it. So here is a video I recorded on this beautiful oil that I share how I use and incorporate into lifestyle
