Lithia Water, Naturally Uplifting Mineral Tonic
Is the highly esteemed New York Times catching up on what Mother Nature has to offer? Possibly, or perhaps science and research are, once again, catching up to what the Edgar Cayce readings have already revealed. An “Opinion” article from the NY Times (“Should we all take a bit of Lithium?”, Sunday Review – 9/13/14[i]) on the effects of Lithium caused a ripple effect in the health community and with those that are interested in natural alternatives for health.
What is Lithia Water?
Lithia water is defined as a mineral water characterized by the presence of lithium salts, as lithium carbonate or lithium chloride.[ii] Lithia has a unique mineral composition created by the earth. It contains a vital micronutrient that is necessary to maintain mental and physical health, as well as ionic minerals and trace essential elements important for overall health. “Lithium is a naturally occurring element, not a molecule like most medications, and it is present in the United States, depending on the geographic area, at concentrations that can range widely, from undetectable to around .170 milligrams per liter… Evidence is slowly accumulating that relatively tiny doses of lithium can have beneficial effects… few seem to be aware of its potential.”[i]
What does Lithia Water Do?
Countless testimonials on the benefits of Lithia water can be found throughout the internet or within historical reference, yet no independent scientific research had been conducted on Lithia Water until the 1980’s.
“Today lithium is little discussed despite the huge public appetite for health information. Nor is it much advertised or even available. … Online, however, there are lithium products.”[i]
Why is Lithia Water Important?
“Some scientists have, in fact, proposed that lithium be recognized as an essential trace element nutrient. Who knows what the impact on our society would be if micro-dose lithium were again part of our standard nutritional fare?” [i]
The health benefits of Lithia Water have been supported by numerous testimonials, and recent studies have found it to improve mood and cognitive function. It is also considered helpful for kidney and digestive support. “Research on a simple element like lithium that has been around as a medication for over half a century and as a drink for millenniums may not seem like a high priority, but it should be.” [i]

What is Glucosamine?
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring biological compound found in the body. It is vital for building cartilage, the rubbery, spongy tissue that enables joints to flex and move smoothly and easily. It is the joint “shock-absorber”. Because natural Glucosamine levels drop with age, the cartilage surrounding the joints can begin to deteriorate causing joint pain and stiffness.
Supplementing with Glucosamine may help restore joint comfort thereby enhancing flexibility and mobility. Glucosamine is an essential building block to some of the main components of cartilage. These components act to trap and bind water into tissues that keep your cartilage hydrated and healthy.
Typically, Glucosamine is derived from shellfish. Our vegetarian formula supplies GreenGrown® Glucosamine HCl, which is derived from a Non-GMO corn source, which makes this supplement safe for those with allergies to shellfish or those who are maintaining a vegetarian or vegan diet.
Why add MSM to Glucosamine?
MSM, known as Methylsulfonymethane, is a naturally occurring sulfur compound found in almost every cell of the body. It is an important building block for collagen formation and for anti-oxidant production. It has been researched for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving benefits for muscles and tendons.
MSM may be consumed as a supplement or through food products such as fruits, vegetables, poultry, fish, eggs, meats and milks. This nutraceutical has been found to ease joint stiffness, swelling and pain, especially when combined with Glucosamine.
Add another tool to your arsenal for joint relief. The synergistic properties of this formula may work more effectively to get you moving faster. Give your joints the nutrients they need and enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle!

Meet Nature’s Best Kept Secret, Organic Sweet Almond Oil
Baar’s Organic Sweet Almond Oil is a cold-pressed oil that has been extracted from the dried kernel of the Almond Tree. The therapeutic use of Almond Oil dates back to Biblical times, when it was mixed with fragrant herbs to create traditional ointments.
Today, Almond Oil is often used as a key ingredient in the cosmetic industry. Loaded with vitamins A, E and B, as well as Oleic and Linoleic essential fatty acids, Organic Sweet Almond Oil nourishes and revives dry skin and hair without clogging pores. Perfect for all skin types, this natural moisturizer deeply nourishes from head to toe while energizing your skin with its wonderful anti-aging properties.
Facial Cleansing and Moisturizing
Organic Sweet Almond Oil makes an excellent cleanser for those with acne-prone, oily skin. You may be thinking “How does an oil help cleanse oily skin?” Sweet Almond Oil is a superior emollient and has the ability to penetrate deep into skin and actually break up and dissolve excess sebum in the pores that is causing those unsightly blackheads and blemishes. Pamper and rejuvenate dry, itchy skin and restore your skin’s healthy glow with just a few drops. Massage a small amount of Organic Sweet Almond Oil onto the face for a few minutes then, gently pat face with a warm, wet face cloth. Rinse cloth and keep patting until oil has been removed.
To condition dry skin, a few drops of Almond Oil is all it takes to leave skin feeling soft, smooth and looking radiant. Gently massage the oil around the delicate areas of the eyes to help lighten dark circles and smooth wrinkles.
Organic Sweet Almond Oil Hair and Scalp Treatments
Many shampoos, conditioners and hair products on the market today contain harsh chemicals that strip away natural oils from our hair. This can make hair look dull and create split ends. Dry, damaged hair can benefit greatly from Sweet Almond Oil treatments. High concentrations of Vitamin E and Magnesium in the oil helps to strengthen the structure of the hair shaft, preventing breakage and split ends. Just put a few drops on the palm of your hands and rub it over those dead ends before styling. This may also help protect hair against heat damage!
A healthy scalp is key to healthy hair. Sweet Almond Oil treatments once a week provides the scalp with the nutrients and vitamins it requires to remain healthy. This pre-shampoo treatment also deep cleans the scalp clearing away excess sebum and product buildup that is blocking the pores. Part your hair into sections, add a few drops of Sweet Almond oil onto each section and massage for a few minutes. Allow the oil to nourish your scalp for an hour or two then shampoo.
Massage
Sweet Almond Oil is one of the best natural oils for massage due to its texture, light scent and high vitamin content. It is thinner than most massage oils which allows hands to glide easily over the skin. It absorbs quickly to hydrate and moisturize, keeping your skin soft, smooth and supple.
Revive your complexion, condition your hair and nourish your scalp with the nutrient-rich properties of Organic Sweet Almond Oil.

What are Others Saying?
“I just wanted to say that my entire family loves these products. The Palma Christi Bar Soap is the most amazing soap I have ever used. Lately I have seen all these commercials for body washes that have moisturizers in them and there is no need to moisturize after the shower and I always say, ‘Not for my skin’. I have very sensitive skin that dries easily. I skip my after bath moisturizer all the time. (Only really for right after shaving!!) My husband and daughter have used it and I can tell a noticeable difference after only one use!!!! I love it!!!” – D.C., Brooklyn, NY
“We have been using Palma Christi liquid and hand soap since we discovered it… Both are… very good for sensitive skin. My husband uses the liquid for hair care.” – J.R., Oakland, CA
