Buyer beware.
I'm shy of 50. Brittle hair and depression were issues most of my life. Weight loss was not typically a struggle as I could slim down pretty quickly, even after two births (in my mid and late 20s) with reasonable diet and exercise.
Although by birth number three (at age 41), some hormonal changes had occurred and depression was seldom an issue. But after birth number three, a body that was rather unresponsive to weight loss efforts was.
I wondered if I had a thyroid problem. Tests always came out "fine," in the "good" range. Understanding that the thyroid does not have a one-size-fits-all reading range, I turned to Young Living.
My understanding was that taking Thyromin as directed and the essential oil blend Endoflex would have no effect on me if my thyroid was functioning optimally, so I began taking Thyromin nightly and applying a few drops of Endoflex daily on my throat figuring I had nothing to lose.
Well, my body began to respond to dietary changes and exercise once again. In about a month I was down two sizes.
For many years previous to Endoflex and Thyromin, I was used to getting gobs of hair in my brush and comb after a wash or perm. After less than two months with these two Young Living products, I permed my hair.
And I could not believe it, but for the first time in my life no hair was left in my brush or wet comb. My fingernails which recently began ridging, chipping and curving backward, became a bit stronger too. My nails grew out more healthy.
Talk about hope restored!

Most notably, inhalation of essential oils can communicate signals to the olfactory system and stimulate the brain to exert neurotransmitters (e.g. serotonin and dopamine), thereby further regulating mood." | Link |
