Inshanti Now Offering Essential Mists

Inshanti Pure Essential Oils, located in Kinzers, is now offering a new product. Essential Mists come in four scents: Pure, Burst, Balance and Hugs. The mists can be used to sanitize face masks, linens, yoga mats and hands, as well as to purify the air in a car or home. All blends are antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal. “When we introduced these during our holiday open house, they sold out—customers loved them,” says Debra Stolzfus owner and creator of Essential Mists. “They fit perfectly in your purse or bag and are easy and convenient to take along.” Stolzfus is a nationally certified clinical aromatherapist with advanced studies in chemistry and aromatic medicine. She and her team at Inshanti are committed to science and ready to educate clients about essential oils.

Cost: $15 to $25. Location: 48 Slaymaker Hill Rd., Kinzers. For more information or to place an order, call 717-587-3990, email Info@Inshanti.com or visit Inshanti.com. See ads, pages 24, 49 and 50. Aqua Blue Wellness Center, located in Smoketown, is now offering reflexology sessions with a nationally certified reflexologist. Reflexology is a holistic therapy based on the discovery that there are nerve ending points on the feet and hands which correspond to organs, muscles, glands, systems and structures within the body. Applying specific pressure techniques to corresponding points on the feet and hands may help facilitate the body’s return to a state of homeostasis. During a typical 60-minute session, the client remains fully clothed with the exception of shoes and socks. Following a foot soak, each session is tailored to the individual needs of the client using only the techniques of therapeutic touch, applied with varying degrees of pressure to bring about results. Reflexology may increase relaxation; reduce or eliminate pain; alleviate the effects of stress; revitalize the body’s energy; boost the immune system; improve bodily functions; and help to regulate lymphatic flow.

Location: 2435 Old Philadelphia Pike, Smoketown. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 717-656-8615 or visit AquaBlueWellnessCenter.com. See ads, pages 13, 52 and 54.

The goal of Jewel Sanitary Napkins, LLC, is to shed light on the taboo subject of female cycles, which has silenced females from all cultures for many years. Their mission is to raise awareness by informing both teens and women globally that suffer in silence with pain, heavy bleeding, unhealthy menstrual cycles and the potential toxicity of tampon use. Revolutionary Reign eight-layer sanitary pads contain a graphene-infused strip, which may provide various health benefits and could potentially help with circulatory health, cell activity and metabolic health. In addition, it may help inhibit harmful bacteria growth. The layers are 10 times more absorbent than traditional sanitary napkins to protect against leakage, move moisture away to keep the body dry and comfortable, and offer breathability to keep the area cool. Reign has five variations to meet a woman’s menstrual flow: ultra-thin panty liner for everyday use; very light panty liner with wings and light absorbency; moderate, heavy and super-heavy overnight flow.

Recurring monthly shipments are available. For more information or to place an order, visit MinervaZ811.JewelPads.com or call 717859-1210. See ad, page 38.
