Gynostemma accelerates the body’s metabolism and helps adjust blood sugar and blood fat levels. Adjusting blood sugar and blood fat are critical steps in attaining healthy metabolic function, whether one wants to lose weight by reducing excessive body fat, gain weight by building lean muscle, or maintain healthy weight by helping regulate bodily functions. Although Gynostemma is not laxative, it may help maintain healthy bowel movements. Gynostemma acts as a scavenger in the stomach and intestines, ridding the body of toxins, toxic microbes and waste that otherwise may become lodged in the intestines. Gynostemma protects the stomach lining.*   Gynostemma has potent antioxidant, and concomitant anti-inflammatory activity   Gynostemma is a potent antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative injury which can result in chronic inflammation.*   The main active ingredients in Gynostemma are known as saponins   The saponins in Gynostemma are called gypenosides. There are over 100 gypenosides in Gynostemma. These gypenosides are responsible for the hepato-protective and adaptogenic qualities of this tonic herb.*   The Story of Spring Dragon Longevity Tea   In 1972, a group of Japanese researchers reported that Gynostemma tea was being consumed as a daily “longevity tea” by large numbers of southern Chinese people. It was revered in the regions where it grew as “magical grass” because of its many reputed health benefits. Subsequently, studies conducted first in Japan revealed that Gynostemma was extremely rich in saponins that were extremely close to those found in ginseng and Siberian ginseng. As it turned out, Gynostemma is even richer in these saponins than ginseng. Gynostemma tea had generally been made from wild mountain Gynostemma pentaphyllum plants, but as Gynostemma reputation as a longevity herb grew, farmers learned to cultivate it. Within a decade, Gynostemma was being consumed by millions of Asians as a tonic tea.   in 1992, Ron Teeguarden was traveling to China to oversea a production run of tonic herbal formulations. Because of a ticketing mistake, he was upgraded to first class. By coincidence, he was seated on the long flight from San Francisco to Beijing next to Professor Xiao Peigun. Also, by “coincidence,” Ron had an photocopied article written by Professor Xiao in his travel bag. The article was entitled “Anti-Aging Chinese Herbs.” Xiao Peigun, as it turned out, was Director of the Institute of Medicinal Plant Development inBeijing, a major research institute belonging to the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. He was also head of the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center for Traditional Medicine, Commissioner of the Committee on Pharmacopeia for the People’s Republic of China and a Commissioner of New Drug Evaluation for the PRC.

Whether you’ve been attacked by hungry mosquitoes during a camping trip, or are looking for a natural way to lower your blood pressure, tea tree oil is a time-tested, natural alternative to harsh chemicals and man-made medications. Our 100% pure organic tea tree oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of the Malaleuca alternifolia, a native Australian tea tree that has been utilized by indigenous Aborigines for centuries. In ancient Australia, the crushed leaves of the tea tree were inhaled as a cold and cough remedy. The Bundjalung people steeped the leaves in a pungent liquid before applying it to infected skin areas, or using it as an elixir for everything from sore throats to open wounds (1). The oil that was later developed by Arthur Penfold contained 98 compounds or pure healing power. Tea tree oil makes it all better – from the common cold to that pesky infection that just won’t seem to heal. With its fresh, invigorating scent, you’ll feel like you’ve woken up on a crisp, cool morning in the middle of a forest, where the pine trees stoically surround you in protective, preventative embrace. Tea tree oil has anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties, and is “A therapeutic agent in chronic gingivitis and periodontitis, conditions that have both bacterial and inflammatory components.” Tea tree is very high in natural anti-inflammatory agents and contains the plant-chemicals cineol and propanol, both kinds of natural chemicals that can decrease gingivitis and reduce plaque. Tea tree also helps stop the approach of bacteria and is very astringent and antiseptic. In a scientific dental study, a genuine distillation of tea tree oil (2.5%) proved effective in the treatment of chronic of gingivitis and inflammation. High in natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial constituents of 1.8 –cineol, terpinen-4-ol, tea tree essential oil decreased the level of gingival teeth and reduced plaque scores in the study. Furthermore, the study showed that a total of 162 oral bacteria isolates (including streptococcus) were inhibited and rapidly destroyed by tea tree oil concentrations of less than 2%. The study concluded, “The components of Tea Tree Oil are known to have lipophilic properties which facilitate its diffusion through the epithelium. If Tea Tree Oil is readily absorbed after topical application into the gingival tissues and has anti-inflammatory properties once it has entered the connective tissues, it would be a unique non-toxic agent.” The Healthy Gum Drops formula contains more than 2% of this astringent and antiseptic essence. Eliminate endless trips to the drugstore with one bottle of our exquisitely pure, natural organic Tea Tree oil. “Teatree! Thou soft, thou sober, sage, and venerable liquid, thou smile-smoothing, heart- opening, wink-tipping cordial, to whose glorious insipidity I owe the happiest moment of my life, let me fall prostrate thus, and ... adore thee.”– Colley Cibber, 17th century “Tea tree oil has been used in Australia by its native people, who introduced it to the Western world via Captain Cook in 1770. This is one oil that most definitely will get lots of use in your medicine chest and should positively be part of the home first-aid kit.” - Jeanne Rose, The Aromatherapy Book: Inhalations and Applications Traditional, mental, physical, emotional benefits:Improved respiration and sense of well-being when added to one’s bathCures skin conditions like cuts, scrapes, corns, chicken pox, and athlete’s footPain reliever and fever reducerPowerful against infections including sinusitis and vaginitis 1.

It was named tea tree because of the refreshingly spicy tea he made from the leaves of the melaleuca alternifolia tree.For centuries, tea tree oil has been used traditionally by the Australian Aboriginal people. They extracted the oil that spills out of the tea tree leaves when crushed, and would inhale the fumes to help treat colds or coughs, as well as applying it topically to the skin for a variety of different healing reasons such as cuts, scrapes and swelling. It was also used to help soothe and cure sore throats.In around 1770, Captain James Cook learned more about the tea tree from the Aboriginal people of Australia, who told him all about their healing uses for this magical oil.Cook returned and was eager to have western doctors confirm tea trees' multifaceted healing abilities. Once confirmed, tea tree oil’s use skyrocketed and became a popular choice all over the world as an antimicrobial agent.Since then, people throughout the world have used tea tree oil to help treat a variety of different ailments. Mainly it is used for its antimicrobial properties, as well as its ability to help treat minor cuts, scrapes or injuries.What can Tea Tree Oil be used for?Tea Tree Oil has many uses when applied topically: Contains terpinen-4-ol, amongst other compounds, which has been shown to be effective at killing types of fungi, viruses and bacteria [2], also making it an effective antiseptic for small cuts and grazes [3] Numerous studies have shown tea tree oil can be an alternative treatment for athlete's foot (tinea pedis) [4] Studies showed that adding tea tree oil to handwashes & hand sanitizers [5] made them more effective [6] A study on 27 people showed that topical application of tea tree oil reduced swelling significantly [7]. It also reduced inflammation in mice [8] A study on patients with acne, saw that a 5% tea tree oil solution saw an improvement in their acne, along with lessened symptoms of itching, dryness and scaling [9]. When added to shampoo, tea tree oil can help to control dandruff by slowing down the growth of Candida albicans [10] Tea tree oil can help to trigger white blood cells that are needed to heal wounds, as well as reducing inflammation, resulting in boosted wound healing [11] Tea tree oil can also be used as a chemical free mouthwash and can combat germs that lead to bad breath and tooth decay [12] Antifungal, Antiviral & Anti-inflammatory PropertiesTea tree oil is most commonly used for a variety of different fungal infections, from fingernails to Athlete’s Foot.Athlete's foot is an extremely irritating fungal infection that mainly develops in between the toes and is highly contagious. It can also spread to other parts of the feet, as well as the hands.The infection causes severe itching and redness, and can even cause peeling, cracking and blistering of the skin.Studies have shown that tea tree oil can be effective at helping to relieve symptoms of athlete’s foot because of its powerful antifungal properties [13].A review on the oil’s ability to kill fungi and yeasts highlighted it as being effective [14].Why Try Feel Younger® Tea Tree Essential Oil 60ml?Here at Feel Younger, we believe in providing the best quality ingredients at reasonable prices… which is why Our Tea Tree Essential Oil is 100% pure and our 2 fl oz bottle will cost you no more than $13, with discounts available on subscriptions for multiple bottles.How do you use it?Tea Tree Oil is for external use only, and should not be ingested.Before you use tea tree oil, you should test how your skin reacts to it.
