Product Obsession: Stress & Pain Relief from Ann Bee's Naturals

Ann Bee's Naturals is an eco-friendly company located in Fair Hill, MD that offers cruelty free, biodegradable and non-GMO products that you can feel good about using.

With the continuing concern consumers have about what they are putting on their skin growing every year, it's both exciting and reassuring to see companies like this that take that concern to heart.

What prompted owner Ann Barczewski to create Ann Bee's Naturals was twofold - while recovering from knee surgery, her daughter's day care provider moved out of state, forcing Ann to resign from her job. Since her daughter requires special needs (she was diagnosed with epilepsy), Ann needed to care for her full time. During this time, her daughter was put on the Ketogenic Diet, which eventually helped her to become seizure free. This was the beginning of Ann's awakening to natural products and the start of her own company.

When Ann reached out to me to review some of her products, I was more than happy to oblige. Part of what I love about blogging is not only sharing new natural products and brands, but the stories behind them as well.

And Ann's story touched me, for obvious reasons, but also because it gave me renewed hope that I too can someday be free from the health issues that plague me.

Speaking of...a few of the issues I have been dealing with are adrenal fatigue, hormonal imbalance, stress, depression, as well as continued back and neck pains. Somehow I think Ann must have known, because she sent me several products to help me deal with those issues!

Here is what she kindly sent...

1) Neroli Essential Mist - One of my favorite essential oils of all time is Neroli, so I was excited to see that a few of these products I was sent contained it. Besides its sweet, intoxicating floral scent, the health benefits of Neroli are numerous. Not only is it great for battling depression and anxiety, but it is a potent bactericidal, can protect against colds and flu viruses, helps to keep skin smooth and clear, and is a powerful aphrodisiac to name a few. I like to mist this in my bedroom before I go to sleep, as well as on my sheets and pillow. I've been sleeping more deeply than I have in a very long time!

Price - $9.95
Ingredients - Water, Witch Hazel, Neroli EO (Keto friendly, Vegan)

2) Stress Relief Aromatherapy Inhaler - I have always been a fan of Lavender - in skincare, as a sleep aid and for pain relief. So it's no surprise that its calming properties have been just as effective as a stress reliever as well. And when combined with the uplifting scent of Bergamot, this inhaler really does a great job of soothing and relaxing me even when I am at my most stressed.

Price - $7.95
Ingredients - Organic Bergamot and Organic Lavender Essential Oils

3) Stress Relief Roll-On - Using the same calming and uplifting oils as in the Stress Relief Inhaler, but with the added bonus of Neroli Essential Oil, this roll on induces the same de-stressing effect, but also can double as a perfume as well. I am truly addicted to this!

Price - $16.95
Ingredients - Organic Jojoba, Organic Neroli EO, Organic Bergamot EO, Organic Lavender EO

4) Arnica Boswellia Salve -  In addition to back pain, I recently have been having pain in my right wrist and this has been helping with that issue as well. This little miracle in a tin contains Arnica, a highly potent anti-inflammatory, Boswellia, which provides similar results as NSAIDS do, and a combination of other powerful anti-inflammatory essential oils, like Ginger, Spearmint and Eucalyptus. I can't imagine not having this in my medicine cabinet from now on!

Price - $6.95
Ingredients -  Organic Olive Oil infused with Organic Arnica, Boswellia, White Willow Bark, Organic Unrefined Beeswax, Essential Oils of Ginger, Eucalyptus, Spearmint, Rosemary, Juniper, Vetiver and Chamomile

5) Orange Rosewood Body Soap - This beautiful and therapeutic soap smells both sweet and spicy, thanks to the use of Orange, Rosewood and Clove essential oils, which also work together to uplift your spirits. The combination of these oils have been known to help with such issues as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), PMS or menopausal related mood swings, stress headaches as well as nausea. Rosewood and Clove are both also highly effective in treating skin issues such as acne. And if that is not enough to entice you, this soap is highly moisturizing and leaves skin baby soft!

Price - $7.45
Ingredients - Saponified Oils of Olive, Canola (Non-GMO), Coconut, Palm (Renewable Source), Water, Orange EO, Rosewood EO, Clove EO, Rhassoul Clay, Madder Root


My overall thoughts: I have always been a strong advocate for natural remedies, as I personally believe that nature has everything that we need to fully heal what ails us. Ann Bee's Naturals truly understands this. Their products are created with thoughtfulness and care as well as a respect for the ingredients used and the benefits they bring. Since using these products, I have felt a renewed sense of peace, better sleep, and less discomfort in my back, wrist and neck. I know that with continued usage, I will keep feeling better.
