Some <strong>of</strong> My Favorite Carrier Oils<br />
• Coconut Oil is available in refined or unrefined varieties.<br />
Unrefined is not processed with chemicals. However, it does<br />
have the coconut aroma (flavor). This is a good carrier oil for<br />
massage and skin care.<br />
• Sweet Almond Oil has a nutty aroma. It’s lightweight and<br />
easily absorb. Good for dry skin. This is a good carrier oil for<br />
massage and skin care.<br />
• Olive Oil edible and has a fruity aroma. Extra-Virgin is<br />
preferred for skin care.<br />
• Apricot Oil – kernel oil (apricot) is made from apricot<br />
seeds. It’s an emollient oil, which means it is effective for<br />
soothing and healing dry skin. Good to use in the<br />
wintertime.<br />
• Jojoba Oil – comes from seeds <strong>of</strong> the jojoba plant. Also<br />
referred to as jojoba wax. Mimics the skin’s natural oil<br />
(sebum). Absorbs easily in the skin and does not clog pores.<br />
Good for massage.<br />

What Is The Best Acupressure Ring? (smarterhealing.com)
Presentation Created by Judith Guerra<br />
Why Should You Use An<br />
Acupressure Ring?<br />
Studies reveal a link between<br />
acupressure points and a<br />
complex multi-layered<br />
nervous system. For<br />
example, applying<br />
acupressure to the pinky<br />
stimulates the ulnar nerve<br />
whose primary responsibility<br />
is to join the limbs and<br />
organs directly to the central<br />
nervous system.<br />
Relax with Rings<br />
•Acupressure Rings ramp up<br />
your energy and powers <strong>of</strong><br />
concentration.<br />
•Acupressure Rings are<br />
simple solutions that can be<br />
used when you are working<br />
on a computer, reading, and<br />
studying, or any other time.<br />
An acupressure ring is<br />
helpful to have nearby on<br />
especially hectic days to<br />
reduce tension or to uplift<br />
your energy level during a<br />
long day.<br />

How to Use Acupressure Rings<br />
R E L A X R I N G S<br />
• Acupressure rings are small metal rings that are worn on the<br />
fingers and used to apply pressure to specific points on the<br />
fingers. They are designed to stimulate blood flow and warm up<br />
the muscles, which can help ease tension and balance out the<br />
system. Here is how to use acupressure rings:<br />
• Place a ring over one finger.<br />
• Using the fingers <strong>of</strong> the other hand, roll it up and down the<br />
finger.<br />
• Stimulating the acupoints on a daily basis is<br />
recommended. Therefore, using the ring at least once a day for<br />
5-10 minutes is highly encouraged. I hope this helps!<br />
