Osmosis Skincare: Psoriasis S.O.S


Living with Psoriasis is no picnic. The dry, patchy, raised skin is not only uncomfortable to feel, it's uncomfortable to show. Psoriasis symptoms are not easy to cover up and can do a number on our emotional well-being just as our physical well being. We understand how painful this can be. So what causes these itchy flare ups? Stress is a huge factor. Stress can greatly decrease our immunity response and once our immune system is down, many variables can creep in and wreak havoc. Many of us respond to stress by eating comfort food, and we don't know about you but carbs, sugar and well, ice cream all taste pretty darn comfy. When we stress eat, we create a reaction in our gut and when our gut feels disorganized candida (yeast) can creep in and create some problems. Candida inflames our gut, which in turn can inflame our skin. Some of our bodies respond by going into hyper-drive which can cause our skin to regenerate too quickly to keep up with what causes that scaly, itchy buildup we know as psoriasis.

Treating psoriasis takes time and you have to attack from inside out. Osmosis has the perfect solution to harmonize your flare ups internally and externally.



Skin Perfection Harmonized Water: Harmonize your body with a combination of Anti-T (testosterone balancing), Neutralize, Digestive Health and Natural Defense frequencies. Skin Perfection truly lives up to it's name, clearing up many skin conditions that are caused by an upset gut.









Restore: Boost your immunity and inner strength all while attacking nasty bacteria that cause candida to boost your skins health. Utilize Restore twice a day and expect to see results in your skin's appearance within one month.  







Rescue: Treat your psoriasis at the surface. Use Rescue to help ease inflamed, red, itchy flare ups. Over time, Rescue will do just that... rescue and heal your distressed skin.






To speed up your results and recovery cut out inflammatory foods and keep your diet clean and fresh, try out some of our anti-inflammatory tips here.

Our Psoriasis treatment plan is gentle, healing, and extremely effective for soothing rough, unhappy skin and gut.

Wellness Wednesday: Mosquito Help!


Wellness in the summer time is pretty easy to do. You have a bounty of amazing fruits and veggies in season, you work out more to keep your bikini body in shape, and you probably get plenty of Vitamin D. There are of course, some unwanted results of summer. The main one we always think of is mosquito bites. Is there anything worse? With viruses being spread by these pesky buggers, it is vital to protect yourself from them. Are you that one person who attracts bug bites like Brad Pitt attracts everyone on the planet? Then we have what you need. Bugs, especially mosquitoes, are attracted to three core things: Heat - Mosquitoes can sense heat from a living being, which to the bug means FOOD. Perspiration - Sweat can put off scents of lactic acid and body odor which is a huge attractant to these little fools.  Standing Water - Standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Be sure to empty any buckets, barrels, or any other outdoor still-water source.

How can we help? Being that our own bodies attract the bite, we can alter the frequency of attraction. Mosquito Harmonized Water helps by creating a vibration on our skin which detracts them from landing and feeding. Of course, as with all mosquito prevention, there is always that one mosquito who lives on the edge, and may go for it anyway. Keep your eyes peeled for the adventurous one.

Take 5 pumps of water within the hour of venturing outside for your evening BBQ or party! Keep the water with you and re-dose every three hours while you are outside. This is the most natural and effective way to protect yourself without dowsing your body in harmful chemicals.

Keep perfumes and cologne at a minimum and wear a natural antiperspirant to fend them off. If you do get bit, keep some Environmental Protection Harmonized Water and Rescue on hand to treat the bite and harmonize your antihistamine reaction.



You don't have to stay inside all summer to avoid being a mosquito victim. Just utilize our Mosquito Harmonized Water and get out and enjoy your summer with wellness, health, and love!

Wellness Wednesday - Just Beet It!


Mmmmmm Beets, nature's candy! In honor of Heart Health Month we thought it would be important to include these red, heart shaped miracle workers in our Wellness Wednesday column. We know, beets aren't for everyone... BUT you should know the benefits of these babies and learn how you can incorporate them into your diet to your taste. First, let's look at the highlights:

Now we know the top health benefits of beets, so how do you fit them into your diet?

Beets tend to lose quite a bit of nutrients when they are cooked, the best way to absorb the full benefits is to juice them. If you don't like the taste of beets, juicing is the way to go! Cover up the taste by adding cucumber, apple, and carrot (and get added health benefits). Don't forget to add the beet greens and roots.

Another way to prepare them without losing too much nutrients is by blanching them. Boil 2 cups of water, once your water is boiling, turn off the stove. Then throw in peeled and cut (into quarter size) chunks of beet into the water for roughly 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. Remove from water and immediately place chunks into an ice bath. Sauté the greens with olive oil, garlic, and pepper for an extra health boost, then proceed to gobble!

Beets are a very important veggie to add into your daily wellness routine. For your heart's sake, and your spirit's, we hope you take advantage of nature's sweetest candy!

Newness: DIM and Complete


Roll out the red carpet, sound the trumpets, make way for the marching band and fire throwers, and watch out for the balloons! That is the welcome our two new supplement all-stars deserve. We are pleased to introduce DIM and Complete, the perfect additions to our Wellness Supplements. We are so excited about these two, so let's jump right into why you need them in your life!



DIM - DIM otherwise known as Diindolylmethane, which is found in cruciferous veggies (like Broccoli) is kind of like the superman of organic compounds. Let's look at the highlights:

     * Promotes Detoxification of Estrogenic toxins (that come from soy, pesticides, food                              preservatives and chlorine) 
       * Balances estrogen levels 
       * Promotes fat loss and weight maintenance
       *Promotes clearer skin and eases hormonal and diet/stress acne
       *Some studies show that DIM aids in improving immunity to help reduce risk of cancer
       *Nourishes bone health

Needless to say, DIM is a beneficial supplement for both men and women (we do, after all, both produce estrogen).

Complete - The digestive enzyme butt kicker! Complete is, just that... a complete digestive enzyme that mimics the enzymes our pancreas creates. As we age our pancreas slows down making it more difficult to digest and absorb nutrients from our food. So let's look at the Complete highlights:

       *Increases nutritional absorption
       *Improves mood
       *Effectively breaks down food for smooth digestion 
       *Aids in weight loss (when combined with clean eating and exercise)
       *Eases stress on the pancreas 
       *Aids in Acid Reflux relief 
       *Aids in IBS and Bloating relief 
       *Relieves constipation over time

It's safe to say that these two supplements are must haves in your daily wellness plan. Complete should be taken 1-3 times a day with each meal and DIM can be taken 1-2 times a day. You may be asking who should take these supplements? Complete should be taken by everyone, digestive enzymes are an important part of our body's daily functions. DIM is ideal for those with hormonal imbalances, women with PCOS or reproductive organ health concerns, those suffering from hormonal and diet/stress acne, and people who have a high intake of junk food... mmmmmm.... donuts. 

We can't wait to hear about your experience with these new supplements, we know you will LOVE them!

Wellness Wednesday: Your Body on Water


Why-oh-why is it so hard to stay hydrated? We know we have to, you know... to stay alive, but many of us just drink the bare minimum to get by. Over the years the rule of water drinking has gone from 6 - 8 glasses a day, to half a gallon, to an ocean's worth. Well, we think the best rule of thumb is half your weight in ounces per day. What happens to your body when you drink the right amount of water?
In order to get in the right amount of water per day, it's nice to set reminders for yourself. Leave a sticky note labeled H20 on your desktop, set an alarm on your phone for every hour as a reminder, hire a carrier pigeon to fly to your desk at lunch time, grab a buddy to get on a water schedule with you. Another easy way to get your fill for the day is to add one of our Harmonized Waters to your glass morning and night. Adding a supplement into your water drinking routine provides a bit more accountability AND adds even more benefits to your water wellness. Stay ahead of dehydration and keep your body hydrated and healthy and when you start reaching for the can of soda, or second cup of coffee think about what your body really needs... Water!
