NOTES
*You can purchase here. You can use my discount code for a 10% discount VANWOO10
**You can order doTERRA essential oils through this link, it is often more cost-effective to open a wholesale account for 25% discounts but if you would like help with this, please reply to this email. doTERRA remain the only essential oils that are third-party tested for purity so you know there is no adulteration with synthetics (sadly often the case).
There is also an offer for a FREE Frankincense this month (value £85), usually a very expensive, revered oil to help support skin health and inflammation, like to know more? Drop me an email and I can discuss with you.
Magnesium Health Benefits
Magnesium is a critical mineral needed for sleep, heart health, muscle relaxation and so much more, it is also very depleted in our soils. Without Magnesium, you also can’t synthesise Vitamin D and most are deficient in both! One of the biggest signs you are magnesium deficient is loss of sleep and restless legs and studies like this have shown improvement by adding this mineral. Magnesium can also help to improve symptoms of depression in just 6 weeks, see study!
