It combines avocado butter, which is rich in Vitamin E and other protective antioxidants, with mango butter, which is rich in high quality essential fatty acids necessary to restore skin tone and elasticity and is high in moisturizing factors.* Shea butter from the Karite tree is rich in phytosterols and antioxidants that heal damaged skin, moisturize, and provide powerful solar and environmental protection.*

Body Butter is rich in antioxidant Vitamin E, which stimulates the production of collagen and inhibits breakdown.* A healing array of Ayurvedic herbal extracts soaked in moisturizing olive squaline is carried deeply into the skin by the butters. Shatavari, while providing skin softening demulcent activity, has been used traditionally as an analgesic for stiff joints, muscle spasms, and stiff necks. It is rich in phytosterol precursors that both heal and protect the skin, and it has shown anticancer activity in epidermal cancers.*

For healing the skin, the Ayurvedic herb Neem stands alone as the most effective.* Neem is antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, analgesic for stiff muscles, while being a penetrating moisturizer and active skin reparative.* Neem is truly a panacea, when it comes to skin care.* Kumari, which is more commonly known as aloe vera, is also considered a panacea when it comes to skin conditions.* It deeply heals and moisturizes while providing incredible environmental skin protection. Manjistha, which is probably the strongest blood purifier in Ayurvedic medicine, acts to destagnate lymph and blood in the deep layers of the skin, promoting healing and restoring elasticity to the skin.* Traditionally it was used to remove discolorations and chronic skin inflammations.

This formula is topped off with the addition of turmeric, which is gaining notoriety as the most powerful non-steroidal anti-inflammatory in the herbal kingdom.* It too, like Neem and Aloe, is a panacea for skin repair, healing and moisturizing.* The essential oil of Benzoin is added to enhance the natural aroma of the herbs and butters. This Ayurvedic Body Butter also goes a long way, and less is more when applying it. For healing, moisturizing, and protection Body Butter is truly magic for all types of skin.*

Always use Himalayan Mist or apply in at the end of your shower with water.

Concentrated Ingredients: Shea and Mango butter, Vitamin E, Botanical Squaline (Neem, Manjistha, Shatawari, Turmeric), Milk Thistle extract, Avocado butter, Jojoba butter, Garcinia Indica butter, Ylang Ylang, Vanilla.  Absolutely no preservatives, fillers, i.e. water or artificial ingredients!

"Dr. John Douillard’s teaching can change your life as it has mine and thousands of others of all ages."
Billie Jean King, foreword - Body, Mind and Sport

Today eighty percent of Americans do not exercise regularly, and ten million are exercising less today than just three years ago. Yes, people are very busy, but the real reason for this exercise apathy is that they do not enjoy it -- people find time to do the things they enjoy. Dr. Douillard teaches people how to enjoy exercise, probably for the first time ever, as well as reap the most important health benefits not available in other exercise programs.

Based on individual body types, certain activities are selected, and the Body-Mind-Sport (BMS) training begins, teaching people how to deal with their stressful lives and jobs from a calm center -- the eye of the hurricane -- using exercise as the training model. BMS research has proven that people can take a meditation state or relaxation state coherent brain wave pattern into maximal level exercise on a regular basis. This means that the elusive "zone" or "runner's high" is now available to anyone even while walking around the block. This makes exercise fun, euphoric and safe as you learn to listen to your body, and to know exactly how much exercise is good for you and how much more is harmful. Most importantly, this calm experience in the midst of stressful situations is carried with you into daily life.

Body, Mind and Sport is a best selling book of health and holistic fitness through Ayurveda. It is published by Harmony/Crown (softcover) in seven languages with forewords by Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova. Ayurveda holds three primary keys to prevention of disease -- exercise with proper breathing, a proper individualized diet, and a lifestyle in harmony with nature. Body, Mind and Sport covers each of these and more, in easy to read detail.

"As an editor for such publications as Yoga Journal and Natural Health, I see a lot of 'detox plans.' This is a cleanse based on a clear understanding of body dynamics. It's not about suffering - fasting, denial - but about working with your own body rhythms to create better health. My own results were undeniable. I lost 11 pounds. More important, my blood pressure dropped from 160/98 to 125/75. That is a HUGE gain in health." - Hillari Dowdle, Editor, Yoga Journal

This highly concentrated oil provides 600mg of Omega 3 essential fatty acids (EPA 360mg, DHA 240mg) per soft gel. Starting with the freshest fish, Vitamin E is added to maintain freshness. Then the oil is molecularly distilled, a process that results in oil that is completely pure and free of contaminants such as PCB's, heavy metals, and pesticides. Every batch is then independently tested and certified for freshness and purity.

Mega Omega's natural enteric coating is the only one on the market made from an all-natural food grade resin, as opposed other enteric coatings that are made from synthetic and potentially carcinogenic substances. Most fish oil capsules are not enteric coated and break open in the stomach after 15 minutes, often causing unpleasant side effects such as bad taste, "fish burp," and upset stomach -- even when taken with food. Our naturally enteric coated Mega Omega capsules can be taken on an empty stomach and are guaranteed not to break down for an hour or more. This allows them to pass out of the stomach and into the intestines where the nutritive rich oil is best absorbed and is healing to the intestinal villi, and this in turn benefits over-all digestion and health.* 

Essential fatty acids (EPA and DHA) from fish oil have been shown in numerous studies to promote cardiovascular health by supporting optimal triglyceride and cholesterol levels and reducing platelet aggregation.*

Fish oil has also been shown to promote optimal joint function and overall brain and nervous system function*. In one recent study, seniors experiencing mild to moderate mood issues showed significant improvement by taking one capsule of fish oil per day containing 600mg of essential fatty acids (the same amount contained in one capsule of Mega Omega).*

For brain, heart, joint, and digestive health.*

With Mega Omega, now it is finally possible to take fish oil without any unpleasant after taste.*

Mega Omega is GMO Free, Proposition 65 Compliant, and meets or exceeds cGMP Quality Standards.

"Based on one of the most healing theories in the world, John Douillard offers an easy, effortless and joyful solution to weight problems and food cravings. This is a book well worth reading."
  -- Deepak Chopra, M.D., founder, The Chopra Center for Well-Being

For 50 years the debate over high-protein, low-fat, and high-carbohydrate diets has confused the American people. Each diet is backed by convincing scientific research indicating that it is the best and only way to lose weight. But how can they all be right?

The answer is astonishingly simple. Each one is right, but for only four months of the year. The secret to making these diets work together for a lifetime is to use each one in the appropriate season as designed by nature: low fat in the spring, high carbohydrates in the summer, and high protein (fat) in the winter.

The 3-Season Diet aligns our desires with the foods that nature has provided in season for thousands of years. In the winter we naturally crave soups, nuts, warm grains, and other high fat and protein foods such as meat and fish. In the spring we want salads, berries, and leafy greens -- a naturally low-fat diet. And in the summer, when the days are long and hot, we require cooling and high-energy foods such as fruits and vegetables, which are a naturally available high carbohydrate diet.

Of course we are used to four seasons, but in nature one season is typically dormant - a resting season. There are really three primary harvests -- spring, summer and fall (that is typically eaten in the winter), thus the 3-Season Diet. In The 3-Season Diet we have classified foods from around the world into winter, summer and spring so you can eat with the seasons but still eat like a king.

"John,  I picked up your book [The 3-Season Diet] at Kripalu 3 weeks ago and have been working with the concept in 3 seasons of eating bigger lunches, with lots of veggies/protein/fruit, smaller dinners, etc....I've never felt so good! I have way more energy, ability to concentrate, no sugar crash at 4:00pm...I LOVE IT... thanks a million for writing that book! Changed my life....

Best regards, Mara...."

THE YOGA BODY DIET: Slim and Sexy in 4 Weeks Without the Stress
(Paperback; 288 pages; 150 full-color illustrations)
by Kristen Dollard and John Douillard, DC

THE YOGA BODY DIET is the first program to employ ancient Ayurvedic principles to create a fun, hip program that promises to transform both yoga virgins and seasoned practitioners from the inside out.

THE YOGA BODY DIET begins with a quick test that identifies your type:

• Pitta (fire: tending toward irritability)
• Kapha (earth: tending toward sluggishness)
• Vata (air: a bit on the flighty side)

Followed by a 4-week plan tailored to that specific type. Each plan provides guidelines, workouts, meal plans, shopping lists, and over 75 flavorful and delicious recipes. Readers can look forward to a longer, leaner body and a calmer, more rejuvenated mind.

Kristen Schultz Dollard is an editor and yoga teacher in New York, was director of iYogaLife.com.

John Douillard, DC,  author of The 3-Season Diet and Body, Mind, and Sport, directs the LifeSpa Ayurvedic Retreat and Clinic and lives in Boulder, CO.

Testimonial:

Hello,  I have recently purchased The Yoga Body Diet.  I have to say I love the book, I have been suffering for a long time from severe anxiety and have recently embarked on the journey of healing.  After many doctors have tried to persuade me to take anti depressants, and anti anxiety medication, my frustration had reached an all time high.  I was adamant and still am quite adamant about the fact that taking a synthetic drug, to "fight" the anxiety was not the answer.  So I decided to do my own research and educate myself as much as possible.  Through my journey, I have come across many avenues, all seem to come exactly when I need them.  One being the "The Yoga Body Diet".  For me it is not so much about the weight loss, however I have lost 25lbs so far, it is about finding a connection with my mind, body, and spirit.  I am a single mom, and a lot of my anxiety came from worrying about not being fully capable of providing a good home for my son.  I now have such a sense of calm and center that I can look at his face and know that he is a happy little boy. The eating plan, the yoga, all the information has reinforced what I have already discovered on my own, by just listening to my body.  Not trying to force it, but to do what comes naturally.  With all of these crazy, almost bullying diets and exercise routines, it is no wonder that most people in today's society suffer from anxiety, obesity, or depression.  This book is refreshing, calming, and most importantly it works!  Thanks alot.  It is inspiring for me, to continue forward with loving my body, my unique body, and to appreciate all the nourishment that our world has to offer.
