Health: the New Status Symbol for Americans

It was a nice surprise to learn that three out of four Americans view health as their personal symbol of success. Taking better care of ourselves and managing our lives better is certainly a breath of fresh air for me… how long have we been waiting now for this shift to occur???

Here are some facts from a fascinating survey, which was released in January 2008, conducted by Opinion Research Corporation:

•  80% said that being emotionally healthy is a “major” symbol of success.

•  58% prefer not to socialize with people who lead unhealthy lifestyles.

•  31% of Americans say they would prefer to be talked about as someone with inner peace and emotional well-being than as someone who is outgoing and well liked.

Lavender is one essential oil that can help promote health

Therapeutic Lavender essential oil has long been known to offer the following emotional benefits that are so sought after in today’s world:

•    balancing

Additional Research on Lavender Essential Oil

As of today there are 217 lavender essential oil studies on PubMed.gov, the website of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health. All peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals – exciting discoveries!

One study that caught my eye was using lavender, and other essential oils,  against the common housefly (Musca domestica) – nice to know about for this tme of year when flies can be pesky, see the study at PubMed.

Another study, at UC Davis (University of California) Magazine that I found interesting is on the harmful ingredients in soaps and personal care products.
