This is an exciting time for all of us. The new compensation plan is rolling forward and has already benefited many distributors throughout the world. I hope you are studying the plan and implementing it into your day-to-day business decisions. We created it to help you reach the kind of success you dream about—and we are confident that you can realize those dreams. Success is fascinating because it means something different to everyone. There is long-term success and there are daily successes that guide us to becoming what we ultimately want to become. Success is having the courage, determination, and will to become the person you know you are meant to be. Real success is not measured by things you acquire but by the impact for good you have on individuals and on our world. Your potential impact—and potential success—is enormous; but it is just potential, unless it is driven with unrelenting dedication. Success does not just happen; it is achieved through that “unrelenting dedication” to share the message and to care about the achievement and success of others. If you work hard and make the necessary commitments, your potential will be realized and your success will come. Many who have failed simply did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Our new compensation plan offers a fabulous opportunity to excel greater than ever before. If you teach others how to build accordingly, you will see the excitement of growth within your organization. Not only will you achieve your goals, but you will also enjoy the reward of helping others achieve their goals.

Lavender Aromatherapy May Prevent Falls in the Elderly
2013
Families of the elderly live in fear of an accidental fall of their loved one, which often means a broken hip and the beginning of the slide downhill to death. As people age, they encounter risk factors like “physical weakness, gait and balance instability, sedating and psychotropic medications, and cognitive impairment.”1 Thus, falls are a major health problem in the elderly. Researchers at the Tohoku University, Graduate School of Medicine in Sendai, Japan, tested the effects of lavender olfactory stimulation intervention on the incidence of falls in elderly nursing home residents. Three nursing homes were randomly selected in northern Japan, where 145 residents over the age of 65 were tested. The residents received either a lavender patch for continuous olfactory stimulation or a placebo unscented patch. Before we get into this Japanese
study, we need to take an in-depth look at the idea of lavender as an olfactory stimulation. Lavender is known to be calming and sedating. 2, 3 The fact that it can also be a stimulant is confusing, unless you realize that lavender is an adaptogen: it adapts to what the body is most in need of and then supplies it. Several studies demonstrate lavender’s energizing and stimulating effects. In research conducted by Yamanashi Prefectural University, also in Japan, researchers analyzed three groups during a recess from work sessions: a placebo group not exposed to aroma, a group exposed to jasmine aroma, and a group exposed to lavender aroma. Not surprisingly, it was found that concentration was lowest in the afternoon period, when afternoon drowsiness is strongest. The lavender group had significantly higher concentration levels during

this drowsy time period than the control group. No effect was found for the jasmine group. The study concludes, “Although lavender is a sedative-type aroma, use during recess periods after accumulation of fatigue seems to prevent deterioration of performance in subsequent work sessions.”4 Now back to the study mentioned in the beginning of this article that used lavender aromatherapy for the elderly in nursing homes. One hundred fortyfive patients 65 years of age and older were either given an unscented placebo patch or a lavender-scented patch. The primary outcome measured was resident falls.5 There were fewer falls in the lavender group and a lower incidence rate of falls in this group as well. Conclusion? “Lavender olfactory stimulation may reduce falls in elderly nursing home residents; further research is necessary to confirm these findings.”6 References 1. “Lavender Aromatherapy Reduces Falls in Elderly Nursing Home Residents,” Herb Clip, November 30, 2012. 2.

As people age, they encounter risk factors like “physical weakness, gait and balance instability, sedating and psychotropic medications, and cognitive impairment.”1 Thus, falls are a major health problem in the elderly. Researchers at the Tohoku University, Graduate School of Medicine in Sendai, Japan, tested the effects of lavender olfactory stimulation intervention on the incidence of falls in elderly nursing home residents. Three nursing homes were randomly selected in northern Japan, where 145 residents over the age of 65 were tested. The residents received either a lavender patch for continuous olfactory stimulation or a placebo unscented patch. Before we get into this Japanese
study, we need to take an in-depth look at the idea of lavender as an olfactory stimulation. Lavender is known to be calming and sedating. 2, 3 The fact that it can also be a stimulant is confusing, unless you realize that lavender is an adaptogen: it adapts to what the body is most in need of and then supplies it. Several studies demonstrate lavender’s energizing and stimulating effects. In research conducted by Yamanashi Prefectural University, also in Japan, researchers analyzed three groups during a recess from work sessions: a placebo group not exposed to aroma, a group exposed to jasmine aroma, and a group exposed to lavender aroma. Not surprisingly, it was found that concentration was lowest in the afternoon period, when afternoon drowsiness is strongest. The lavender group had significantly higher concentration levels during

this drowsy time period than the control group. No effect was found for the jasmine group. The study concludes, “Although lavender is a sedative-type aroma, use during recess periods after accumulation of fatigue seems to prevent deterioration of performance in subsequent work sessions.”4 Now back to the study mentioned in the beginning of this article that used lavender aromatherapy for the elderly in nursing homes. One hundred fortyfive patients 65 years of age and older were either given an unscented placebo patch or a lavender-scented patch. The primary outcome measured was resident falls.5 There were fewer falls in the lavender group and a lower incidence rate of falls in this group as well. Conclusion? “Lavender olfactory stimulation may reduce falls in elderly nursing home residents; further research is necessary to confirm these findings.”6 References 1. “Lavender Aromatherapy Reduces Falls in Elderly Nursing Home Residents,” Herb Clip, November 30, 2012. 2.
