The Aura Patch is a non-transdermal, non-chemical patch that delivers natural energetic frequencies that allow the body to heal itself. They represent an alternative way to heal the body, and were designed to create specific biological information signals that the body chooses to accept or reject in order to maintain perfect balance. These patches have shown great improvement for those suffering from aches and pains, insomnia, the flu and other viruses, and lack of energy and stamina. Most people who wear the Aura patch feel a difference the very first day.

Anyone can wear Aura patches as often as they wish. There are no side effects, because all of the energy patterns presented by the Aura patches are naturally found in healthy bodies. Energy medicine involves the use of energy fields to promote health. Some forms of energy medicine are designed to influence energy, and Aura patches are the newest and most exciting form of homeopathy and energy medicine; they combine 21st century technology, homeopathy and energy medicine.

Aura Patches have demonstrated themselves to be one of the most impressive developments in adjunctive health care in decades. Based on the medical research of Dr. Royal Rife, the discoveries of physicist Fritz Albert Popp and others, as well as the technological breakthroughs of Rick Hunt, Ph.D. of Aura International Group, Inc., Aura Patches deliver specific energetic frequencies which allow the body to heal itself naturally without any pharmaceutical or other chemical compounds.

How Does the  Aura Patch Work?

Dr. Richard Hunt developed a system (Aura patch therapy) whereby specific frequencies could be impregnated into a skin patch. You wear the patch, and the frequencies enter your body water, from there to be conducted along your “energetic” nervous system (accupoints, meridians, chakra, and nadi), and from there to signal the cells of your body to carry out the desired activity “coded” by the frequency. The patches may contain frequencies associated with good health, to “remind” your cells how the should be functioning, or a patch could contain frequencies that are toxic to an invader, or frequencies that may neutralize a toxin that is present within your body.

Each living thing radiates a unique spectrum of vibrations. Different states of health also are created by unique vibrational patterns. In homeopathic and vibrational methods of healing, a method is chosen to do one of three things:

1. Infuse the body’s energy field with the vibrations of the desired positive healthy state.
2. Infuse the body’s energy field with a vibration which will cause a predictable natural response in the body. (This method is “Classic Homeopathy”)
3. Infuse the body’s energy field with a vibrational pattern which creates an unhealthy environment for an unwanted pathogens and microorganisms.

The Aura Patch Therapy System

The Aura Patch Therapy System, Flower Essence Remedies and Homeopathic Remedies are based upon homeopathic principles. Each offers a unique method of vibrational and energetic support to help restore proper balance within the Body/Mind system. These methods are free of chemicals, drugs, or toxins, and therefore have no side effects and under most circumstances can be used in conjunction with any other medical or non-medical therapy.

These patches are primarily supportive of the physical body. Some of the patches address the following issues:

• Reduction of muscular pain and inflammation
• Reduction of Joint pain and arthritis
• Support for general health and healing in the body
• Support for stress reduction
• Support for balancing male or female hormone production & improving sexual function
• Support for weight loss
• Support for body and organ detoxification
• Support for seasonal and food allergies
• Support for improved sleep and restoring natural healthy sleep cycles

There are other patches available to support a variety of symptoms and common conditions. These patches are intended to be short term therapies. A typical treatment cycle is 1-3 months.

The Aura Patch Therapy System is not an FDA approved diagnostic or treatment modality, and likely never will be as these approaches cannot be patented. However, the approach is non-invasive, essentially risk free: there are no drugs in the patch, only healthy frequencies – frequencies given off by man made drugs are not placed within the patches, as here we could produce a “homeopathic side-effect”.

Realm cologne by Erox is a sensual and exotic fragrance for men. A soft and romantic floral bouquet of top notes mixed with citrus makes way for a ginger and rosewood heart; woods with patchouli and synthesized human pheromones make realm alluring and completely irresistible. Launched in 1993.

REALM Seductive Pheromones & Intricate Perfume Scent For Men.

Pros: A classic scent for that hard to please man, which also pleases their partner.

Cons: Hard to find locally.

The Bottom Line: Realm is a great scent for that hard to please man. It is not strong or musky like some others, and has artificial sexual attraction chemicals added.

I have never been one to wear much cologne or perfume. I use unscented antiperspirant and aftershave. However several years ago I was introduced to Realm by a girlfriend who worked the perfume counter at a local Dillard’s. I preferred its base scent to any other available from the store. Dillard’s dropped Realm in the late 1990’s but it is still available online. If you have a husband or significant other who tends to not wear a scent, introduce them to Realm. It seems to be appreciated the most by members of the opposite sex, and for a special reason.

Realm is the first masculine scent I know of that contained synthesized human pheromones. This is said to give the wearer a boost of confidence and enhance their sexual image. I can say that some partners really enjoy this scent and I believe the science is solid. Smell is often an overlooked sense and it plays a great role in our interaction with others.

This scent does have a very sweet and high first note. (Galbanum, Bergamot, Lavender and California Oranges and Mandarin. ) It calms down quickly with my body chemistry and it is the base note that seems to really attract the most attention. ( Juniper Berry, Bois de Rose and Lisea Cubea, Ginger , Sandalwood and Gaiacwood , with a hint of Patchouli )

This size Realm can often be found from $13.99 to $24.99 so it is a good value. They also offer a small capped bottle you can get for free at most perfume counters with purchase. The scent is long lasting and you will not have to reapply after one use.

If you are looking for a new scent, or have forgotten this classic give Realm a try.

“An excellent scent with a little extra”

I have been wearing Realm exclusively for the past few years and get a number of comments from women about how nice the scent is. It is not too sweet or heavy, lasts a long time and I have noticed that some women seem to be very “friendly” when I have it on in social situations. It reportedly has pheremones in it so perhaps that is what is at work here. I strongly recommend guys buy this product if you want to smell good for the ladies and maybe get a little EXTRA attention!

“Cheap Smell”

Certainly not in the Hugo Boss, Armani, CK perfume class. I put perfumes in classes based on the scent smell not necessarily the name. This is in the B class. I am not impressed with it. I use light perfumes, its decently light but stays till the next day, so the staying power is good, but it just doesn’t have a classy smell. If you like the CKone, D&G light Blue you may not like this.

“Realm Fragrance by Erox”

Aromatic Semi-Oriental Woody. Designed in 1993 Realm cologne is a sharp oriental woody fragrance. This masculine cologne contains human pheromone lavender orange and is accented with juniper patchouli and ginger making Realm cologne perfect for romantic use.

“Great”

I have used Realm for multiple years. Unfortunately it became difficult to find as department stores, one after one, stopped carrying it. Walmart was the last one to carry it, but they have ceased as well. Thank goodness for Amazon! This cologne is one of the coveted little secrets some of us know about, which is a great thing so you aren’t competing with your friends on who can use it on a night out!

“Realm Cologne by Erox”

My husband has been using Realm for the past 5 years and he wears it everyday. I love to walk into the bedroom during the day because his smell is always there and it brings back fond memories.

“Girls Like It”

Apparently girls like it more than I do. every time I wear it a lot of girls ask me what I am wearing. I guess the pheromones do the trick.

“Terrific Cologne”

“Hey! Guys this is a terrific cologne for you. It has a romantic and distinct scent. I received it from a female friend and it always turned out to be a turn on to the ladies. It is perfect for those intimate occasions. It has a seductive fragrance and is available at an economical price.”

Introduction

If you love your hair (as most women do), the last thing you want is for it to have its color fade away. Yet the constant assault that it gets from buildup, sulfate shampoos, medication, colour-dulling chlorine and minerals from showers and pools will result in nothing but dull looking, brittle hair that’s too unhealthy to look good. Fortunately, there’s a way to get rid of all that unwanted stuff, thanks to Pureology’s 100% vegan purifier. Use this product and watch your hair shine with vibrant color and captivating brilliance because it has been returned to its natural, healthy condition.

Positives (Pros)

“My hair is so clean and the color doesn’t fade. at first I was worried because it doesn’t lather like normal shampoo but my hair is in fantastic shape, i use it once a week to keep my hair looking great.”

Reviewer: Amber N from Seymour, CT.- Source: folica.com

“The Pureology products are really fantastic. I just switched back to them after using store brand for a while, and with just one washing they made such a difference. I’m definitely not one to buy into expensive products, but these are really worth it.”

Anonymous reviewer.- Source: drugstore.com

“I teach little kids to swim in a heavily chlorinated pool. I also have super long hair and the last 6 inches or so were always disgusting and dead looking and I could barely get a brush through it without ripping chunks of hair out. I walked into a Trade Secret store and asked them to suggest something to help and they recommended this. But when they told me the price ($27!!!), I was pretty skeptical. That night I came home, showered, and was shocked how much healthier and smooth my hair was! You only need a really small amount when washing, so it lasts. And I definitely recommend buying it on here…its the best price I’ve seen yet.”

Reviewer: RutgersGirls from NJ.- Source: amazon.com

“Pureology has always been one of my very favorite hair care lines, and this product has re-affirmed my love! A big misconception that people get with the Purify Shampoo is that it is a regular shampoo. IT IS NOT. Of course your hair is going to feel dry if you use it more than is recommended! (Recommended usage is 1x a week). It is the best and only thing to keep hair in tip-top shape concerning a clarifier. It gets rid of hard water/mineral water build up, styling residue, chlorine, among other things. Shampoo once a week with your Purify shampoo, rinse it out, and immediately follow that with your regular shampoo (some good ones if you feel dry are Pureology Hydrate or Pureology SuperStraight), rinse that out, then use your conditioner. The best thing I’ve found is doing this on my day of the week to Purify.
1. Purify Shampoo
2. Rinse
3. SuperStraight Shampoo
4. Rinse
5. Hydracure Intense Hydrating Treatment for 5-7 minutes (I’ll shave my legs)
6. Rinse
And then I’m good to go! The Hydracure is a Pureology moisture mask they say to use 1x a week, so I just save myself brain space and use them both on the same day. That takes care of the “dry hair” issue. I love love love the smell of the Purify, I think there are some essential oils in it. Love it!!”

“This shampoo is worth every penny. Being on the expensive side, it makes dyed and grey hair look smooth and silky. Also fixes the frizzes from to much heat. Try the conditioner and the root lift as well, your hair will look like a million bucks! ”

Reviewer: Doxie Lady from PA.- Source: buzzillions.com

Negatives (Cons)

“I didn’t like this shampoo. The reviewer who said this shouldn’t be used on highlighted and color-treated hair was right. I wanted an effective but gentle clarifying shampoo for heavy styling product use and hard city water, but this product dries out my already-dry damaged hair and tangles it up in a terrible knot after rinsing. Using this shampoo always requires a super-slick detangling conditioner to get the knots out. I thought this sulfate-free formula would be very gentle but I am not a happy camper with this product. It doesn’t lather well and my hair afterward doesn’t feel particularly clean and clarified, only dried out and brittle. YUCK. I prefer KMS clarifying shampoo much better.”

Reviewer: Ofelia in NYC.- Source: drugstore.com

“This shampoo left my hair a tangled, dull, dry mess. Even conditioner didnt really help it much after using this shampoo. It also felt like there was some build-up left on my hair from the shampoo itself. This was no better than a $1.99 bottle of Suave.”
