How Yarrow Pom has transformed my skin and why it is so AMAZING!!!

2/25/2019

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: 
  1. Nervous System
  2. Digestive System
  3. Immune System
  4. Inflammatory Response/ Pain modulation. 
  5. Metabolism
  6. Stress/Mood
  7. Sleep/ Circadian Rhythm 
  8. Fertility
  9. Skin Health
  10. 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: 
  1. promoting heart health,
  2. fighting cancer,
  3. acts as a natural aphrodisiac,
  4. controlling and repairing sun and environmental damage on skin,
  5. promotes flawless skin,
  6. helps to support immunity,
  7. helps treat arthritis,
  8. improves memory,
  9. helps with hair growth
  10.  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: ​
  1. Its a scavenger that gets rid of free radical damage. ANTIOXIDANT!!!
  2. 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... 
  3. 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
  1. Use topically on your skin am and pm as a serum or pair with you moisturizer to support healthy skin and reduce the signs of sun damage and aging
  2. Take internally twice daily in a veggie cap to support healthy metabolism, cell proliferation and radiate from the inside out. 
  3. Take internally with Frankincense, Copaiba and Marjoram in a veggie cap. 2 drops each to support inflammation and discomfort. 
If you have been using this metabolism cocktail of oils and or using Yarrow topically, let me know what your feeling and seeing. I love to hear how you all are using oils. I also would love to connect you to my community. Here is a link to my intro class.  If you are ready to take the plunge and join my tribe here is the link. 

Note: I am not a physician and do not claim to diagnose or treat. I love to share my own experience, strength and  hope around my oil usage and research and link what I am reading up so that you have the information at your fingertips. My heart is for you to feel empowered to be your own advocate to rock a natural lifestyle. I have linked affiliate links where I get some reimbursement from the company and that pays for the upkeep of my website and blog and allows me to serve you with my free content. 

So much love and light,
Holly
