Natural energy, mental focus and physical fitness

The perfect pair -
🍒 NingXia Red and NingXia Nitro 🍒

In today’s fast-paced world, everyone is looking for ways to gain an edge in their productivity and overall energy levels. This desire has contributed to an explosion in the energy drink market—a market that has become a $27 billion-per-year industry. With so much money on the line, many companies take the quick and easy route by slapping energy drink labels on simple combinations that contain copious amounts of caffeine, sugar, and other dangerous ingredients. These companies ignore the major underlying factors in low energy and proper nutrition!
This approach has garnered a rise in regulatory scrutiny, an increase in research, and the uncovering of energy drink-related health risks. Research on the ill effects of many of these energy drinks is published almost monthly; however, it appears to have little effect on the public. Sales continue to soar, while ER visits drastically increase.

So what can we do?

Let’s look at a couple of natural solutions to the energy dilemma:
NingXia Red® combines the extraordinary wolfberry superfruit with pure essential oils (Orange, Yuzu, Lemon, and Tangerine) in a powerful whole-body nutrient infusion. When taken daily NingXia Red replenishes energy levels and supports overall nutrition.

NingXia Nitro™blends pure essential oils (Peppermint,Spearmint, Black Pepper, and Nutmeg) with naturally powerful ingredients such as d-ribose, green tea extract, and B vitamins. These ingredients, in addition to a Nitro blend of vanilla, chocolate, wolfberry seed, and yerba mate, provide a lift to one’s mental clarity and focus, while also providing a surge of energy. Designed to be taken when a boost is needed and with less caffeine than a cup of coffee, Nitro is a perfect option for on-the-go use.
These synergistic products are designed to be the healthy answer to the energy question.

Why your animal may not understand that you are trying to help?????

If you have struggled with helping your animal Physically (treating them),
Emotionally (finding confidence) or
Training (teaching new actions)
If the overall feeling is frustration, then there is a high possibility that there is a lack of trust and communication in your relationship.

Nobody likes to feel misunderstood, that's the same for your animals too!
Correcting your animal may stop one behaviour but more than likely a new so-called "Bad Behaviour" will be expressed.
Behaviour is only a reflection of how your animal is feeling!
When we reprimand so-called "bad Behaviour" it does not address the root of the problem but increases the problem.
It comes at the cost of reducing your animals' self-confidence and connection with you!

When we shift our attention to reducing the feelings that cause the behaviour, then something quite magical happens.
When your animals' mind becomes calmer they will perceive the situation and you differently, with more confidence!

Lowered thinking levels makes learning easier, as a calm mind can learn quicker than a confused, defensive, fearful or frustrated mind!

The delight is when you have helped your animal in this way, there is naturally a closer connection and trust in you, this helps them and you in all environments!

Does this understanding already resonates with you, or do you find it thought-provoking?

I am an Animal Naturopath and at Authentic Health and Wellness for Pets and their Humans and offer sessions that will surely get this connection & trust in motion.

🌿 Copaiba Essential Oil: 3 Science-Backed Benefits You Need to Know

Copaiba essential oil, distilled from the resin of the Copaifera tree, is loaded with β-caryophyllene, a sesquiterpene that interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (CB2 receptors). Here are 4 scientifically supported benefits of copaiba 👇

🔬 1. Potent Anti-Inflammatory & Antioxidant Activity

Chronic inflammation drives conditions from chronic pain, to arthritis, to autoimmune conditions, to cardiovascular disease. Copaiba oil shows remarkable anti-inflammatory activity:
• In animal models of arthritis, β-caryophyllene and copaiba oil reduced swelling, lymph node enlargement, and oxidative damage.
• Reduction in leukocyte infiltration indicates that copaiba modulates the immune response at a cellular level, not just symptomatically.
• Its antioxidant activity also helps neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress, which plays a major role in tissue inflammation.

🧠 2. Neuroprotective Properties

The brain is highly vulnerable to inflammation and oxidative injury, but copaiba oil demonstrates protection:
• In a controlled study, a single 400 mg/kg dose of copaiba resin reduced motor cortex damage by ~39% in animals with induced brain injury.
• Mechanistically, this benefit is linked to its ability to reduce neuroinflammation via CB2 receptor activity, which regulates microglial activation.

✨ 3. Skin Healing & Regeneration

Copaiba’s chemistry makes it a natural ally for skin health:
• Its anti-inflammatory action calms conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis by reducing cytokine-driven irritation.
• Copaiba also promotes collagen synthesis and fibroblast activity, accelerating wound closure and improving elasticity.
• Its antimicrobial and regenerative effects further support reduced scarring and prevention of secondary infections.

Lynx is a special kitten of 9 weeks old who came in, in the most horrible condition 😢 since, he's grown strong but his eye will always tell a story.

Lynx sadly only has partial eyesight left in his one eye, but other than that this boy is a delight 😊 he is super affectionate and loves cuddling up on your lap or at the jack of your legs for a snooze. 💗

He has seen the eye specialist and he will not need any further operations yet. We will work with his adopter to make sure Lynx gets all the care he needs when needed. 😊

Inbox us or email us on [email protected] to adopt this special boy, Lynx
