Day 2 - History of NingXia Red

You made it to Day 2… go you! So what IS this delicious concoction you’re drinking every day and what’s the scoop on it? Glad you asked!



Ningxia Red is a whole-body supplement. It’s a blend of the Ningxia Wolfberry (also known as goji berries, a superfruit) along with plum, aronia, cherry, blueberry, and pomegranate juices and extracts plus pure vanilla extract and Lemon, Orange, Yuzu, and Tangerine essential oils. It also has an incredibly high antioxidant rating. Antioxidants make for an unfriendly environment for free radicals. If you don't know the effects free radicals have on your body, go look it up.



Where did it come from? In 1993 D. Gary Young met a man by the name of Dr. Cyrus McKell, who had been doing some collaborative research with Dr. Songqiao Chao, a Chinese scientist. Dr. Chao wanted to know more about essential oils and in exchange offered Gary information on his latest research project involving Ningxia wolfberries. Throughout this project, it was noted that the local people who were eating large amounts of wolfberries seemed to have greater longevity than those not eating wolfberries. Wow!!



Although many species of wolfberries exist, it is the Lycium barbarum species that shows the most health benefits. Gary wanted these for Young Living. Fortunately for him, Dr. Chao’s daughter came to work for the Young Living laboratory. She translated all of her father’s research and documentation into English and gave it to Gary. He then found a grower of the Lycium barbarum species in the Ningxia Province of China and was the first to import tons of the berries for commercial use. These berries, along with several other fruits, are pureed and mixed with Young Living essential oils to make up our beloved NingXia Red!

My favorite oils for Healthy Aging Awareness Month.

1. Helichrysum Essential Oil. Helichrysum oil has restorative properties. It fights free radicals and supports the skin, liver and nervous system.

2. Rose Essential Oil. Rose oil is a key ingredient found in many anti-aging oil products. It’s rich in vitamin A, and it helps support aging skin.

There are two types of intense responses to oils. This is not your normal or average response but when you have an INTENSE response to the smell. Not an actual physical reaction, but an emotional response. You either seriously hate it or seriously adore it. With each response there are two potential things at play. Your limbic system or your physical body. Let’s start with the love response.
When you open a bottle and love love love it, there are usually two responses you will have. The “curl-up-in-a-ball-on-a-comfy-couch-and-smell-the-oil-for-hours” response or the “I-don’t-know-why-but-I-kind-of-feel-like-I-want-to-eat-this-oil” response. The first one is based on the limbic system remembering a time in your life that was amazing or abundant with love. A core memory blanketed in a wonderful smell. It is why so many love Stress Away for it’s sweet vanilla aroma. It brings us back to our childhood days of making cookies with mom or grandma. The second response is based on your physical need of the oil. Anytime you smell an oil that you feel like you could eat you love it so much, like PanAway, that would mean your physical body is craving it. You may have just finished an intense work-out and your body says, “YES!!! GIVE ME THAT NOW!” Again, please remember, these are only intense love responses to oils. You LOVE it and your limbic (memory) system kicks in or your LOVE it and your physical body kicks in saying you need it now.
Now onto the “hate” response...
Yes, “hate” is a strong word. But it is fitting in this instance. A strong dislike does not count. I don’t like most floral aromas because that is a personal preference, not an intense response. That would not count here. If you smell an oil and hate it, as in you are repulsed by it or want to run from the room, it means one of two things: your body is telling you no, do not use it, or your body is telling you, yes, you need it. The trick is figuring out which one it means. Your body has a built-in smell reactor to things that are bad for you or your body does not need. Such is the case for rotten milk or rancid meat. When you smell those things you have a gut response and you know you instinctively you need to avoid it. That is the same here with oils. A good example is when you are pregnant and smell and oil that you used to love but now can’t stand. Simply don’t use it until your body tells you it is OK again through smelling it periodically.
The second reason is a bit more interesting. When you smell an oil and want to run from the room and you get an intense angry feeling from it, like you want to smash the bottle or can’t put your finger on it, but it just makes you mad, that is your limbic system at work. This means you need it emotionally. Something happened to you that this oil will help. I find it best to start by applying it to the bottom of my feet every day for 30 days. Then smell it again. This oil will burrow into the crevices of your body to help release whatever this negative emotional response is reacting to. Sometimes it will dawn on you why that smell was so disturbing to you, like a memory from a traumatic experience that had that smell. Often we see this with Geranium or the oil Joy because of parents divorcing or some personal trauma in the 70s or 80s. That was a very popular fragrance back then (Geranium) so if anything bad or traumatic happened to you in the 70s and 80s this would be the case for you. Use the oil, over one over again until you can clear the tucked away trauma.
All of this is super fascinating so let me break it down to it’s simplest form:
~ INTENSE LOVE/DESIRE = Limbic (fond memories and will help with emotions)
~ INTENSE LOVE/CRAVING = Physical Body (somewhere in your body you need this oil to support health)
~ INTENSE HATRED/DISGUST = Don’t use the oil. Trust your gut.
~ INTENSE HATRED/ANGER = Your Emotional Body needs this oil so use it!

For centuries, cannabis has been used as a method for suppressing nausea and vomiting. This makes CBD a fantastic addition to your day if you have trouble keeping food down due to a medication you’re taking or if you’re experiencing nausea from sickness, anxiety, motion sickness, or any other reason.

While CBD can provide relief for many reasons, perhaps the most popular and well-known use for CBD is to prevent and treat seizures.

It appears that CBD works on receptors that alter brain chemistry in a way that reduces the chances of a seizure - making it an effective preventative measure for some people.

There are many studies still in the process of being published, and the outlook is so far so good!

Chamomile is highly effective at boosting my mood. Just place a few drops in the diffuser! (If you want to try, let me know!)

Avocado is one of the most amazing gems Mother Earth has given us, and I encourage you to take full advantage of its benefits!

This fruit (yep, a FRUIT!) mask hydrates and restores skin with a youthful glow while killing harmful bacteria.

It’s easy to make, and you can even replace the coconut oil with kefir. Show me your mask!

Does your dog get scared by fireworks or thunderstorms?

Is your cat suffering from a bad hip?

Treat them to a little CBD!

If you go online, or into some pet stores, you’ll be able to find CBD treats to help your pets with pain and anxiety. Just be careful, because cannabis - especially for pets - is largely unregulated. In order to stay on the safe side, look for products that claim to follow Good Manufacturing Practices or that have a seal from the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC).
