JOVS 4D Laser Red Light Therapy Mask 4 months later

JOVS 4D Laser Red Light Therapy Mask 4 months later ❤️Jovs 4D Laser Red Light Therapy Mask Link for Purchase ❤️ After 4 months of using the JOVS 4D Laser Light Therapy Mask, I’m excited to share my in-depth review and the noticeable differences in my skin! Unlike traditional LED masks that target the epidermis, the JOVS mask uses low-level laser technology to penetrate the dermis layer—the source of collagen, elastin, and fibroblasts—for deep skin rejuvenation, improved elasticity, and long-term results. From smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin to reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation, I’ve experienced gradual yet significant improvements over time. In this review, I’ll cover key insights, including how I use the mask daily during my mobility and meditation routines, the benefits I’ve seen with age spots, fine lines, and sagging skin, and how it compares to other devices I’ve tried. I’ll also address common questions, like the difference between laser and LED technology, why the JOVS mask is uniquely designed for targeted facial treatments, and how it fits into a holistic skincare routine with gua sha and serums. Whether you’re curious about its efficacy or considering investing, this review will help you decide if the JOVS mask is right for you!

Warm Lemon Water in the Morning | Mindful Morning Ritual

15 weeks ago

—

Start your day with the simple yet powerful practice of drinking warm lemon water in the morning. This refreshing ritual helps rehydrate your body after a night of sleep, replenishing your fluids and setting the tone for a healthy day. The sour taste of lemon stimulates digestion, encourages elimination, and supports liver function by acting as a natural detoxifier. Packed with vitamin C, lemon water also gives your immune system a boost, helping your body stay resilient. This small but significant act offers more than just physical benefits—it becomes a moment of self-care, supporting your body and overall well-being. In this video, I guide you through a mindful morning ritual with warm lemon water. From slicing the lemon to pouring the water slowly, each step is an opportunity to pause and appreciate the present moment. Reflect on the interconnectedness of the lemon’s journey—how the earth, sun, rain, and many hands brought it to your kitchen. As you hold the cup in both hands, take a deep breath, savor the uplifting aroma, and smile. This moment is sacred. You are nourishing not only your body but also your spirit, grounding yourself in the simple joy of self-care. #warmlemonwater #morningroutine #mindfulness…

I Used the JOVS 4D Laser Red Light Therapy Mask for 30 Days ❤️Jovs 4D Laser Red Light Therapy Mask Link for Purchase ❤️ https://jovs.com?sca_ref=6606651.BDN0EihsG77ZYQpa&utm_source=kol&utm_medium=melissa-west&utm_campaign=eaden-10 In this video, I’m going on a 30-day challenge of using the JOVS 4D Laser Red Light Therapy Mask to see if it can help me fall asleep and stay asleep. As a menopausal woman facing the added challenges of jet lag and time zone changes from two upcoming trips, I’m putting this mask to the test under some seriously difficult conditions. My goal is to find out if the red light and NIR therapy can really boost melatonin production and improve sleep, or if it’s just better to stick to the known skin benefits and look elsewhere for sleep support. Throughout the challenge, I document my experience using the mask while traveling, from packing it in my luggage to using it in different locations and dealing with unexpected obstacles that came my way. With sleep being such a common struggle among my viewers, especially during menopause and stressful situations, I know how important it is to find solutions that truly work. Watch to see if the JOVS 4D Laser Mask in action, or if I end up regretting this experiment with my sleep, my family visits, and emotional well-being on the line. ❤️Jovs 4D Laser Red Light Therapy Mask Link for Purchase ❤️ https://jovs.com?sca_ref=6606651.BDN0EihsG77ZYQpa&utm_source=kol&utm_medium=melissa-west&utm_campaign=eaden-10…

Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor 2. Rub your hands together until they are warm 3. Take your first two fingers (index and middle) and make clockwise circles around your navel 4. Now massage your large intestine. Start from the bottom right hand side, go across the top and then go down the bottom left side. Circline 9-18 times as you move up, across and down. If you find a painful spot or knot, spend more time there. 5. To massage your small intestines, come into the area inside of the large intestines. Now make small circles in this inner circle 3-9 times as you circle back into the navel. 6. If you feel a big lump while you are doing the massage at bedtime, put your palm over it and sleep with it there until morning. This will soften the knot, release pain and allow you to release your bowels more easily the next morning.

Yin Yoga for Emotional Release | Worry 1:54

If your stomach and spleen meridian system is out of balance you might experience worry. One of the best poses to release worry in yin yoga is lunge pose. There are two ways to do it. One is more active and one is more passive and doesn’t require weight bearing on your knees. In yin yoga lunge pose is also known as dragon pose. It pulls and pressurizes the stomach meridian. If we do winged dragon, we can also draw on the transformative power of the spleen to transform worry. We can receive the nurturing, nourishing, receptive energy of the stomach meridian. As we are in the pose we can use the purging breath “Hoo” to release stagnant energy and emotions from your stomach and spleen organ meridian systems. Inhale soft yellow energy, the colour of the stomach and spleen and exhale grey smoke. We can also massage and shake the stomach and spleen to further release stuck and blocked emotions.…

4 Vagus Nerve Massage for Stress & Anxiety 3:32

4 Vagus Nerve Massage for Stress & Anxiety Purchase my Book 🙏👉https://melissawest.com/book/ 💕 Join Our Membership Community 💕http://bit.ly/ywmmembership Vagus nerve massage, or vagal nerve stimulation is a technique that involves gently massaging the general area where your vagus nerve innervates your body. Your vagus nerve is a major nerve that runs from the brainstem down to the abdomen. Of course you are not directly stimulating this nerve, but you are indirectly soothing the areas that are affected. Your vagus nerve plays a crucial role in regulates stress and anxiety by influencing your heart rate, digestion, and the "rest and digest" response of the parasympathetic nervous system. When we massage anywhere from the brainstem down to the abdomen, the pathway of the vagus nerve, it can have a calming effect on your body. That message gets transmitted up to your mind. Here are the 4 vagus nerve massage techniques I am going to demonstrate in this video: 1. Neck and Throat Massage: Gently massage the sides of your neck with your fingers using circular motions. Apply light pressure to the sides of your throat, moving from your jawline downward. 2. Humming or Gargling Behind the Ear Massage: Use your index and middle fingers to gently massage the area behind your ears in a circular motion. This area includes the mastoid bone, which is located just behind the earlobe. 3. Chest and Heart Area Massage: Gently massage your chest, especially around the heart area, using gentle circular motions. This can help stimulate the vagus nerve and activate the parasympathetic response. 4. Abdominal Massage: Lie down in a comfortable position and gently massage your abdomen in a clockwise circular motion using your palms. The vagus nerve connects to various organs in the abdomen, so stimulating this area can help activate the nerve.…
