Everyone feels stress, especially busy moms. Whether it's trying to get the kids from school and to activities on time, or caring for an ailing relative, different activities push different buttons. Mild stress may diffuse quickly, but excessive and ongoing stress needs to be managed. Stress makes you feel anxious and uncomfortable, but it also triggers the body's own production of stress-activated toxins. Take a moment for yourself this Mother's Day and diffuse the stress: • Breathe slowly and consciously • List 3 things you are grateful for • Look to the big picture – will this be stressful a year from now? • Watch a great funny movie and laugh out loud • Go for a walk or run in nature or choose another form of exercise • Call a trusted friend or family member and share your concerns • Enjoy a cup of calming tea
For extra help, turn to Flora's new four-herb combination, 4-Stress, with four proven stress-taming herbs: American Ginseng, Rhodiola, Ashwagandha and Schisandra Berry that ease symptoms of stress and help you face challenges more easily.
Beautiful Skin for Mom All women worry about the effects of aging and Mom is no different. No one wants to sit back and accept fine lines and wrinkles. The gift of an Evening Primrose Oil with high concentrations of GLA (an Omega-6 fatty acid) like Efamol® can be a great place to start. Skin needs essential fatty acids and nutrients to feed the deepest layers, moisturize and reduce inflammation to restore a healthy glow and youthful soft facial skin. Gels and creams may help, but like Mom has always said, "beauty is more than skin deep." Giving skin the nutrients it needs helps skin stay beautiful whether the concern is dry, itchy eczema or just maintaining healthy skin. Great skin comes from nourishing it on the inside. Efamol® Evening Primrose Oil is clinically proven to improve skin moisture, elasticity and firmness, helping mom reduce wrinkles naturally. NPN 80009582

If expensive and invasive procedures aren't for you, turn to low-impact exercises like walking, riding a stationary bike or an elliptical. Swimming is also an excellent whole-body workout that's easy on joints but encourages circulation. Supplement that exercise with natural nutrients designed for improved vein circulation like the bioflavonoids found in CircuVein.
