Pines wheat & barley grass

   Hello my lovies,                                                                   
as some of you know, I started using Pines wheatgrass for the first time recently. I also started using Barley grass from Pines as well. I had never heard of barley grass before and wasn't sure exactly what to expect. Now that I've taken it for a while, I'm going to give you my opinions and results.

  The Kansas grown wheat grass, is what I've found to be one of the out there. I noticed right away that the wheatgrass pills were very dark green as other brands tend to be very pale, light green. From what I've read and learned, the reason is because Pine's packages in dark glass conatiners rather than plastic which helps to keep the potency which ensures that you get the most from your wheatgrass.

  I believe Pine's is a great option if you're looking to purchase wheat or barley grass. You can be sure that you will gain the best from the products without them losing their amazing "effects."


                                              MY BENEFITS

  I noticed a big difference in how I felt in general. When I wake up I don't seem to be as draggy as I used to & I have several health issues that cause me quite a bit of pain throughout 2 weeks each month & the wheat grass seems to relieve it majorly!

  I also haven't had any anemia problems like I always have. I've been anemic my entire life & my iron is always low. When I went to my ob/gyn for my  3 month shot,  the last 2 times, my iron has been much better!

  I haven't been sick since I've started & I have more energy at the end of the day.

  I honestly did not think I would notice much of a difference, so I was really surprised to have benefited so much. It helps the mind fogginess that I get when I'm working all night too. (From what I understand, the Barley Grass has the same effects as wheat.)

  I also tried the Mighty Greens Superfoods  blend in drink form. This superfood blend is made with spirulina, alfalfa, Pines cereal grasses, chlorella, royal jelly, and 16 other superfoods and herbs.  Unfortuntely, I was only able to take a few sips without gagging. I'm just not used to it. It really didn't have a bad taste at all. I thought it tasted like un-sweetened tea and the BF also said he thought it tasted like tea. I just couldn't get it down. It's not clumpy, it's actually a really great product & I do plan to take a few small sips throughout the day until I can get used to it. I know it wouldn't be bad at all if you just got used to it.

  PRO'S

- The wheat grass and barley grass are certified organic.

- They are gluten free which is very good!

- They all have never ending health benefits.

- Anybody, including children can take or drink these without bad reactions or side effects and I don't believe any of them will react badly with any illnesses. It is perfectly healthy (and a great option) for adults to take regularly as well as children. Also a great way to start teaching them good health habits! It will make an enormous difference in the choices they make as they grow older. I know from my own experience as a health freak growing up.



- There are so many wonderful benefits of wheat and barley grass I could never list them all, but you get the drift.

- An amazing option for those of us (and children) who don't always eat a correct amount of vegetables.

CON'S
I don't have any bad thoughts for the Pines wheat, barley, and superfoods. I think they're really great. The only thing is he prices can be a tiny bit much when you're purchasing a whole lot at once.

 You can get them in pill form (single servings) for .99 cents! Great for first timers trying them all out.

Lavendar Greens - My cheetah print body wrap

 There's like a billion women who suffer from migraines, body aches, cramps, back pain, etc. Most of us have quite a cocktail of all of these every single horrifying month. Men experience pain as well & strained muscles, etc. Some experience debilitating pain such as women with menstrual disorders.

  As most of my precious readers know, I suffered from the beginning of my teen years until last year with very bad reproductive system issues one being endometriosis. It got to the point to where I knew I only had 2 weeks each month to do everything from trying to work, clean house, do laundry, etc. Only 2 weeks. I have since had surgery and was put on meds for pain, anxiety, and meds to keep the endometriosis from growing as quickly.

  I am a totally new person and that's true. I'm really not the same person I used to be all because of less pain. Even still though, I do have flare-ups. I still have pretty intense symptoms each month. To get to the point, I wanted to introduce y'all to Lavender Green. I have a Body Wrap from them that is specifically for abdominal areas and back, but I find that it works on ANY part of your body.

                                  VARIETIES OF BODY WRAPS
  Now, this body wrap or body pillow, or body pad whatever you prefer to call it, is not your regular rice filled body wrap from Grandma Edna. This little lovely is filled with buckwheat berries & lavendar buds that have amazing tension relieving and calming/relaxation techniques. You can choose from many different types. Like I said, mine is the tummy/back wrap. I had it just in time for an awful flare up last week. I had serious stomach issues again & was able to find so much relief in the pad.


                                         ENDLESS USES
  This lovely, fashionable body wrap can be heated or chilled. I'm very fond of the effects of mine being chilled in the freezer. It surprisingly lasts a very long time after only 10 min. in the freezer. I also have migraines quite a bit & have used it on my temples and neck. I laid down on my side with the body wrap under my temple & after a good 30 minutes I got up feeling much better and more relaxed. It also completely relieved neck pain for me.

  I am so in love with the cute pad, I've been going on about it all week. I've found so much use in it.

  I love that it's such a large size so you can use it anywhere, literally. It holds well and feels so wonderful after being in the freezer. Although I've yet to heat it. Another thing I totally admire about it is that it's scented. Not strongly, not enough to take your breath, but it's scented from the lavendar which is one of my favorite scents for relaxing (really works wonders for my anxiety!)

  I actually have it laying right beside me now. I slept with it like a pillow and loved it! It holds a great firm shape. The reason I slept with it was to help with anxiety. It's unbelievably relaxing and calming even just having it near & getting small whiffs of the lavendar is calming.

               EVEN THE KITTIES ARE LAVENDER GREEN FANS!
  I'm not the only person who's enjoyed the body wrap. My neice who's only a year old snatched it from me, laid it in the floor & curled up with it under her head as a pillow! It was adorable, but she had allergies and took a big sniff & sneezed. Then I came in from my nephew's ball game to find Fuzz (my cat) curled up on top of it! I'm having to fight the cat for it now. :)

                                               MY BENEFITS
  It's definitely beyond amazing. I've really gotten so much out of it already. Perfect for any pain, no matter where. Chilled, it gets deep down where the pain and inflammation is and relieves it. I know if it were warmed it'd certainly be the best option for relieving tired, sore, strained, or damaged tissues/muscles. It also relieves tension in the neck, temples which in turn relieves stress. It's really a plus for everything.

  Overall, I'd give this one a 100% absolutely perfect! I could not be happier. I'm used to taking 1-2 BC powders every day or two, pain killers, anxiety meds. & usually every day. The body wrap has relieved a lot of my pain to the point of not needing medication some days. If I can take a few minutes to lay down right when I experience an intense migraine I can usually lessen the intensity by a mile then of course a BC when it's time to get up and deal with chaos. lol
