Exhibit 99

Natural Health Notified of Non-Compliance with NASDAQ Rule
Friday, April 21, 2006

Natural Health Trends Corp. (NASDAQ: BHIP - News) announced today that on April
18, 2006 it received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market stating that the
Company is not in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), which obligates
Nasdaq listed issuers to timely file those reports and other documents required
to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As previously
disclosed, the Company will be filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K late.

Since the Company anticipates requesting a hearing with the Nasdaq Hearings
Panel, or filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K, by April 25, 2006, it is not
anticipated that the Company's shares of common stock will be delisted on April
27, 2006. However, if the Company fails to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K,
or to persuade the Hearings Panel to provide the Company with an exception to
Marketplace Rule 4310(c) (14), the Company's shares of Common Stock may be
subject to delisting by The Nasdaq Stock Market.
