Flower Essences Are Now Available!
There are now seven (7) wonderful flower remedies for emotional support. Flower remedies for emotional distress are liquid extracts made from carefully selected flowers. These emotional remedies have been used for several decades to help with emotional well-being. Nature’s Sunshine has its own unique line of both English and North American flower remedies, called Flower Essences, that feature flowers grown in certified organic gardens and pristine wildcrafted habitats. These emotional remedies were formulated by Master Herbalist and famed author and NSP lecturer, Steven Horne.
The finest ingredients make the best dishes, the best health supplements and the best flower essence remedies. The seven new formulas each contain seven flowers or botanicals. Each was carefully chosen for its unique properties to create high-quality emotional remedies providing vital emotional support.

Tax Tips
It’s the last month of the year and I’m already thinking taxes. For us, we like to get it out of the way as soon as possible, so the first week of January we gather our information and head off to the accountant for the corporate return early in the second week of the month. Tax filing deadlines fall in Spring and that’s not when I want to be thinking about this.
H.R. 2908: Testimonial Free Speech Act of 2011
This bill is to: Protect the First Amendment rights of individuals to share their experiences and perceptions of the effects of foods and dietary supplements.
As you know we are not allowed to put testimonials on our websites if they speak of any supplement linked to a disease. So, we cannot share our personal testimonies even on our own sales website. NSP has spent a fortune in legal fees trying to get all distributors into compliance by rewording all of their materials over the past ten years since the FDA got real heavy on patrolling this aspect of the internet.
We were one of the earlier websites contacted because we had “Success Stories” on our sales website. Now we have them on our non-sales website, The Frugal Life, so they will be available to our Sunshine Family and others to see what worked for somebody else. They are one of the links we provide in each issue of this newsletter at the bottom area of resources.
If you’ve not taken the opportunity to submit a letter to your congressman to co-sponsor this bill, you can do so through a website where you enter your zip code to do so. It will send a copy of the letter there … or one you write yourself … to any and all of your congressman. on our health news blog website.
Product Label Changes
As many of you know, Nature’s Sunshine introduced colorful, new product labels at our March convention in conjunction with JumpStart and new Brilliant Body product categories (core health, energy & fitness, weight management and body systems).
Based on manager feedback, we recently made the decision to keep this new label look on all products displayed in the Brilliant Body catalog, but will not continue it on other products.

Testimonials are favorites since they tell you what worked for somebody else.
