As the story goes, tea plant was first stumbled upon by accident in 2737 B.C.E. The emperor at the time was boiling water in his garden when a leaf from the overhanging…

In Ayurvedic medicine, bacopa (Bacopa monnieri, Plantaginaceae) is called brahmi and used as a brain tonic to enhance cognitive function and prevent memory loss. Bacopa monnieri extract (BME) has antioxidant and neuroprotective properties and, in clinical studies, has been found to improve aspects of cognitive function and memory in both healthy participants and patients with cognitive impairments. The purpose of this literature review was to summarize the experimental and clinical evidence supporting the therapeutic potential of BME for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Various formulations of BME were used in the studies reviewed by the authors.
Mechanisms of Action
In animal and cell studies, BME has been shown to decrease oxidative stress by inhibiting lipid peroxidation, scavenging free radicals, inhibiting the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROSs), and upregulating antioxidant enzymes, among numerous other mechanisms. BME also has been found to ameliorate mitochondrial and plasma membrane damage, protect against cytotoxicity…

These blood-seeking fun busters expertly follow their senses right to your skin. But if you can repel them with one quick application of bug spray, then what’s the problem?

Selenite has the power to conduct light rays like fiber optics into high frequency light radiations that are above what the human eye can visibly see. Selenite can record information written on light rays as well as disperse info on those same rays. It can be used to send messages and images. Selenite is an ancient stone, a calm stone that instills peace. It has an ethereal quality and is said to inhabit the place between light and matter. This stone clears confusion and is a powerful stabilizer for erratic emotions. Selenite exists at the doorway between spirit and nature. It is the fiber holding these two worlds in communication with each other and is a receiver for information from the causal plane. It provides its owner with more ability to reach these planes and communicate with the higher spiritually evolved beings, masters and teachers.
Selenite comes originally from ancient oceans and seas it is a water element just as the emotions are associated with water. It has been found that Selenite has a direct effect upon balancing the emotions. Selenite vibrates at a very high frequency almost too high to be seen manifested on the physical planes. Selenite brings Light into the subtlest of things manifested. It bends pure white light to manifest things on the earth planes it is a catalyst of manifestation.
This stone can increase the frequency of physical matter to a more spiritual plane as well as lower the frequency of light into a more physical plane. it becomes a bridge between the spiritual and physical. It can create new electrical synapses with your own physical body allowing your light body to manifest more clearly for you in this physical world. Selenite light transmission will eventually strengthen and change your nervous system and other organs to allow the messages of non physical planes to manifest in the third dimension. In doing this work you become part of the recreation and enlighten of the world.
Dental plaque can lead to dental caries and gingivitis. Streptococcus mutans is a common microorganism that causes dental plaque. Improper tooth-brushing techniques used by some children are inadequate in removing plaque. In children, mouthwashes could help prevent plaque formation and could be an alternative to chlorhexidine and triclosan mouthwashes, which are associated with adverse effects, such as teeth staining and altered taste. Aloe vera (Aloe vera, Asphodelaceae) and tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia, Myrtaceae) oil have reported antibacterial and antifungal effects, and have been used for oral health. These authors conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, prospective, interventional study to compare the efficacy of herbal mouthwashes containing 7% aloe vera and 0.2% tea tree oil with chlorhexidine mouthwash used by schoolchildren.
The study was conducted at the Department of Paedodontics and Preventive Dentistry at the Manipal College of Dental Sciences in Manipal, India. Schoolchildren aged 8-14 years and enrolled in one…

In the name of aligning with your highest truth, dare to be a spokesperson solely of the content from your own living testimony. Aspire to share, not what you’ve heard from others or what you saw on social media but simply what your eyes and ears have witnessed — in-person. Otherwise, you will be asked to answer questions that may offer greater conjecture instead of the clarity many are seeking.
While we are living in extraordinary times, the end-result is one of an infinitely-positive outcome.
I’ve seen the end-result of Earth’s ascension from within the halls of the Akashic Records; and yet it is the will of humanity that chooses which path or timeline takes us exactly where we as a planet and species are destined to be. I wholeheartedly honor any degree of truth that anyone is inspired to share. I have no judgment about what anyone chooses to track, question, or discuss. I am merely focused on the mission at hand and service to the world to assist in Earth’s ascension.
No matter how outrageous things have been or continue to be, we manifest the light by anchoring the light. As an example, on 4/4 thousands of light workers assembled to anchor the light; since that day, with the integration of such high vibrational energy, the world has felt more calm, centered, and at ease on a collective level. This is a direct reflection of our combined efforts activated through the laws of unity consciousness. While there is a deeply-ingrained impulse in a human being to uncover the hidden, expose each lie, and cast light on the agendas of inhumane treatment, please know that tracking the activities of darkness places the vibrational power of your anchoring of light on pause in favor of trying to expose a dark agenda that you willingly align and resonate with.
This doesn’t mean anyone should stop watching disturbing videos or discussing these topics. It’s your decision to choose how you wish to serve the greater good of all.
If you wish to be of the highest noble help during this transition into 5D consciousness, my suggestion is to spend more time blessing humanity, affirming the highest outcome of your heart’s desire, and loving the innocence within you that sends love to all hearts in existence the more often self-love is embraced.
Those who dare to align and resonate with the light with such unwavering commitment that they forget to be updated on ‘behind the scenes’ activities will enter a parallel reality where all that many are fighting for– already exists to be found. This is why there are three waves of ascension: the third avoids reality through substance abuse and technology addiction, the second yearns for truth and peace by waging battles against creations of deception and injustice, and the first wave enters the new 5D earth plane first by anchoring the light of oneness — no matter how divided or devastated the world may be.

Birch Betula lenta, B. papyrifera, B. pendula (syn. B. verrucosa), and B. pubescens (syn. B. alba)
Family: Betulaceae
by Josef Brinckmann, Thomas Brendler
INTRODUCTION
The Betulaceae family includes an estimated 150 to 200 species of trees and shrubs,1 and, depending on the author, the Betula genus includes about 30 to 60 of those species. Betula species are deciduous trees or shrubs and are monoecious (they have both male and female catkins, spike-like inflorescences of unisexual flowers). Authorities differ on the precise number of Betula species. This is likely because birches hybridize easily, which confounds species delineation.2
In Europe, the main species used in herbal medicinal products, foods, and beverages are downy birch (B. pubescens) and silver birch (B. pendula), and their hybrids and subspecies. Betula pendula is a fast-growing tree that can reach up to about 25 m (82 ft) and occur more or…

★ Solfeggio Frequencies ★
Everything vibrates. Thus if this is the case, then everything has its own frequency as well.
Solfeggio frequencies form part of an ancient scale that was rediscovered by Dr. Joseph Puleo in 1974. They are a 6 tone sequence of special electromagnetic frequencies. They were originally used in Gregorian chants many hundreds of years ago, and recently, they were brought back to everybody’s attention for their healing powers.
These frequencies induce movements of consciousness that will help stimulate new changes that are necessary for individuals who would like to achieve awakening. So, if these frequencies are so good, why not many people truly know about them?
Well, as it turns out, the Solfeggio frequencies were lost for many years. In specific, it was back in 1100 CE, when the Catholic Church started to look at music as something to look down upon, as it was considered to be blasphemous. However, it wasn’t all completely lost down the history lane, as similar scales have been produced as time went by.
And even though it’s very difficult to find a peer-reviewed study that will prove or disapprove the use of the Solfeggio frequency as a way of healing or therapy, it has been said that these frequencies have helped many individuals throughout the centuries to undo difficult situations, to change their perspective of things, to turn sadness into happiness, but above all, it has also helped many to reconnect with their own true selves.
The frequencies are the following:
★ 396 Hertz: DO. It is usually related to guilt and fear, and how they can suppress other emotions as well. It is associated with the color red.
★ 417 Hertz: RE. It is usually related to past trauma and negativity and the willingness to change. This frequency can help you to recognize those past traumas that are no longer valuable in your life. It is associated with the color orange.
★ 528 Hertz: MI. It is usually related to DNA, peace of mind and clarity. This frequency will help you heal and remove any sickness you may have. It is associated with the color yellow.
★ 639 Hertz: FA. It is usually related to Interpersonal relationships. This frequency will help you heal those difficult relationships you still have from the past while also reconnecting with those who are valuable in your present. It is associated with the color green.
★ 741 Hertz: SOL. It is usually related to the emotional stability you are looking for. This frequency will help you solve any problems you may have in your life. It is associated with the color blue.
★ 852 Hertz: LA. It is usually related to the views of oneself and the universe. It requires open space in order to allow intuition to come in. It is associated with the color indigo.
★ 963 Hertz: SI. it is usually related to the feeling of oneness. It means awakening and interconnected to the universe. This frequency helps you to reconnect with yourself. It is associated with the color purple.
It is understandable, however, to feel skeptical about the use of the Solfeggio frequencies and its application in real life. However, it is a well-known fact that music has healing properties.
And this isn’t something new either, as ancient civilizations from all areas of the world seemed to use music as therapy, in all of its forms. The greeks used flutes or lyres, the Mesopotamians used the harp, or the Incas used the flutes (or quena as they are traditionally known).
This is why music was also used whenever there was a need to alleviate pains that were caused by indigestion issues. It is quite impressive the value that ancient civilizations would give to the power of music.
How to get the best from the Solfeggio Frequencies?
Choose a Solfeggio frequency track: Perhaps you would like to start at the beginning? It doesn’t matter, as there isn’t a specific order for them to be played…in fact, you can choose to do one if you would like to focus on that specific frequency for the time being. Our favorite is 528 Hz which resonates with the color green and the heart chakra.
You are ready to start: It is advisable to listen to the frequencies regularly, as you will get the best of them by doing so.
Many experiences a shift happening after the first couple of seconds of listening. Be consistent with it to truly raise your vibration to cleanse out old unconscious energy that holds one locked in a fear-based reality.
