Hello Everyone,
I want to apologize for any inconvenience you were caused by a spam letter you might have received the first part of February, looking like it came from me. I was not in Spain, nor did I get mugged. This letter has been going around a good part of a year, if not longer. It caused my gmail account to be taken down, and I've had to go through major security hoops to get it back---which I have, finally and gratefully! May this never happen to any of you!
There was never any threat to you with this spam letter, nor is there now receiving my newsletters. May this be the first and last spam experience for any of us.
In this Bits there is great advice for cancer recovery, and an amazing testimonial about the power of Thieves essential for healing gingivitis and making a needed root canal, not needed. Please send me any stories using YLEO's and/or YL products that you would like to share with others.
Warmest regards,
Susan
My First Young Living Experience
February 23, 2011
My Young Living Story
Frances Fuller
Often people ask me, how did you get started using Young Living essential oils?
I had a neck injury in early 1987 and was told that I needed surgery. I was given anti-inflammatory drugs which totally upset my digestive system and caused vertigo. A friend literally carried me to her chiropractor, and my neck responded quite positively to the hiropractic adjustments and massage from his therapist. As a result, I became interested in massage, and after over 20 years of teaching high school math, I decided to go to massage school.
I took general aromatherapy courses and then several weekend seminars. Even so, I was not really a believer. Later, I began working on staff at a Five-Star spa where they used very expensive essential oils that were supposed to be therapeutic-grade. I never saw any positive effects from the oils, and I even stopped suggesting aromatherapy massage to the guests because many of the oils gave me headaches!
A few years later, a friend dragged me to a small gathering where the Young Living essential oils were demonstrated and shared. (I made every excuse I could come up with, but my friend would not take no for an answer I was definitely not an enthusiastic guest!!!)
Catherine Burbank just sat and talked about some of her personal experiences with particular single oils and blends, and she passed them around for us to try the ones we chose to try, showing us how to drop the essential oils into the palm of our non-dominant hand. She also taught us that the soles of the feet are the safest and one of the most effective places to apply essential oils. (I had to try some because I really did not believe that ONE DROP of oil applied to the BOTTOMS OF THE FEET could make a difference!) WOW, with the very first oil, I could feel something and the oil did not smell at all like I expected it to smell.
What happened NEXT was the key. While we were passing around the next oil, a woman who already was using the Young Living oils said, I avoided a root canal by using Thieves on my gum and tooth. I thought to myself, She probably didn’t really need a root canal! However, I had just had extensive dental work done, and after the last crown was in place, I had a lot of pain and gum inflammation. The dentist (who was a prosthodontics) had given me antibiotics for the gum infection, and I reluctantly took them. However, the pain did not go away. After over a month, he told me he thought I needed a root canal, and I went to the endodontic. Sure enough, he confirmed that I needed a root canal! Therefore, when the woman at the Young Living gathering said she had avoided a root canal, my ears perked up! I did not want any more Novocain; I did not want any more x-rays; I did not want a hole drilled in my brand new porcelain crown; and I certainly did not want to spend another $1500! I immediately ordered a bottle of Thieves blend.
I began using Thieves neat (undiluted) on my gum 4-5 times a day. It contains the hot oils of cinnamon and clove (along with lemon, eucalyptus radiate, and rosemary), so it does sting, but it also numbs the pain. One drop was sufficient for the whole lower quadrant of my mouth! After a week or so, the pain was gone, so I only used Thieves morning and night.
One month later, I went to the prosthodontics for a check-up. He was amazed to find that there was no trace of inflammation, pain, or any problem which would require a root canal! He asked, What did you do?, so I pulled out my little bottle of Thieves and showed him. He began recommending it to all his patients along with the newer line of Dentarome toothpaste and Fresh Essence mouthwash.
I was excited! I could hardly wait to learn more about these oils, so I ordered the Essential Oils Desk Reference and read it from cover to cover before deciding that it would be my new coffee table book so it would always be handy. I was impatient to learn more, and I began travelling around the US and Canada to learn as much as I could learn about these powerful gifts from nature so I could share with everyone I knew . . .
Every client I used the oils on seemed to have wonderful shifts. Friends and family members began having amazing experiences. It makes my heart sing to share these precious oils because they truly have the potential to make a difference in each person’s life.

Update February 2012
After years of painful treatments for gingivitis and treatments every 3 months, my dentist tells me every year that my gums are healthy and my dental hygiene is excellent, so I do not need to return for a YEAR!!!
I am so grateful for THIEVES blend, THIEVES DENTAROME ULTRA (and Dentarome Plus) toothpaste, and FRESH ESSENCE MOUTHWASH!
Enzyme information..........................
Hi Sheila,
Enzymes
Gary Young has a wonderful training cd #32 Enzymes- A Golden Key of Life on how we are so depleted of enzymes from processed foods and he talks about skin rashes and eczema. The cd is very very interesting and informative.Can be purchased from www.abundanthealth4u.com for $2.00. Hope this helps and that you’d get the information you’re looking for to feel better soon .
Sincerely
Diane
Vaginal skin/infection in child......................
Three year old girl has had a vaginal/skin yeast infection for 3 weeks. Doctor gave her an anti-fungal cream which caused her skin to bleed/crack. Next doctor said it was a vaginal yeast infection and put her on oral Diflucan. Rash is still there and now she has an anti-bacterial cream. Mom says it looks like a yeast infection but the doctor said the Diflucan would have killed it.
Greetings,
Try using ClaraDerm spray. I have used this on my granddaughters when they have been red and sore in the peril area. They allow me to do this as it does not burn and is so soothing and healing. This is good for eczema also. Diluted Melrose would most likely work well also or use along with ClaraDerm.

Suggestion for those who are "perpetually ill"..........................
I know several people who are perpetually ill. Some of these are adopted children who have poor immune systems.
Thanks,
Donna
Donna,
YL's Inner Defense capsules are my suggestion; one a day until they are healthier. Be sure to also take Life 5 probiotics in the evening. When sick, they can take up to 5 Inner Defense per day.
Jackie McLaughlin
Torn rotator cuff repair, and the protocol............................
Susan's note: The way the Raindrop Technique Kit oils were used in this case, is an example of Gary Young's admonition--"Just get the oils on." It is also a very strong case to use the oils, and other YL products, consistently and persistently (over time).
Sherry
My husband had torn rotator cuff a couple of years ago and was supposed to have surgery, but they said his muscles were so tight that he had to do physical therapy first for a couple of months, he couldn't sleep on that arm and it hurt to move it.
So at that time we learned that people were healing there rotator cuff with the Raindrop oils, so my husband went to the physical therapy and at the same time we ordered the Raindrop kit which morning and night he would put each of the oils in the kit a drop or 2 on the torn area rub it on and then do the same with the next oil until he used them all, we always started out with valor and then it didn’t matter what order the other ones followed, we just set them on the table and started applying. At the end he would apply the Ortho Ease Massage Oil which came with the kit. V-6 oil also comes with the kit he didn't use.
The only additional oil we bought was lemongrass for muscle and ligament and that was incorporated in with the other oils. My husband also took BLM capsules for bone, ligament, and muscles. The BLM he took 2 times a day 2 to 4 capsules and after 2 months he didn't take as many capsules but still took them. This is what he did for about three months, as time went on the amount of everything decreased as he was feeling better, still doing physically therapy at home. After a month he started to feel better, but he just kept doing this protocol for about 6 months and has no problems.
This is my husband’s testimonial and what has worked for him. He didn't have to have surgery and can do everything he did before. Just give the oils some time to make a change. Happy healing.

Gaining sense of smell....................
My brother used peppermint successfully to get back his sense of smell. In addition I would use brain power.
Bobbie Pollard
Clarification about grapefruit essential oil...................
Hello there,
I once again am seeking advice from you kindest of folks! I know that when taking particular pharmaceuticals, one is supposed to not eat grapefruit. Is that also true with our grapefruit OIL? Is there enough difference between the juice and the oil? Or are there enough similarities that one must stay away from Grapefruit oil if on pharmaceutical meds?
Thank you so very, very much,
Vera
Dear Vera:
No! The enzyme in the grapefruit pulp/juice breaks down the pharmaceuticals, leading to uneven drug levels. Oil comes from the skin (bend any citrus skin back and watch micro-droplets of oil pop out). There are no enzymes in the skin, hence no drug consequences. Unless you consider the fact that its use can lead to lower cholesterol levels....

Advice for recurring cancer............................
Hey friends,
Is there any testimonies of oil help to people post medical treatment? I know Ecuador clinic doesn't treat people who have already undergone chemo and radiation but I know a young mother who has just been given news that her colon cancer has returned for a third time. Her abdomen looks like a Coralline doll by now with so many scars up and down and she has fought aggressively and valiantly. She has three children and an amazing husband. I get tongue tied just thinking "Hey, wanna try Frankinscense and Orange oil this time?" because I'm not exactly able to administer IVs or be able to speak with wisdom and authority on these subjects enough to exact real change. They trust in God and Johns Hopkins and she is standing strong yet now this. Even if she was open, and I bet she is this go around - who could I direct her to that would have real answers? Is there anything at this point that would help? Orange oil in high quantities this far along??
Best,
Jen Smoker
Hi Jen,
Most of us are not doctors. All we can do is offer information, and empower people to make decisions based on what we've learned and observed. We are in the process of pioneering a modality that holds the promise of extraordinary health and healing. We are morally obligated to share this information courageously with as many people as possible, knowing that we can help people, now and in future generations, live longer, healthier, and happier lives. It's a gift that's been given to us. There is no greater purpose in life than being of service to others.
So put on your Valor, Magnify Your Purpose, Joy, Believe, and Transformation, and sit down with her to explain why we are so passionate about these oils. If you're unsure of what to say, use the scripted outline in Heart Centered Sharing 2012 (pages 35-47). Free download - newly revised - www.tinyurl.com/HCS-2012
You can print out a copy of the Limonene studies in the 2002 YL Clinic newsletter and share it with her, available free at www.tinyurl.com/limonene2
We know that to replicate the amount of limonene used in those studies where regression was seen, one would have to ingest 10ml of orange oil a day.
We also have another protocol that I would add if this happened to me. We have a Breast Cancer Prevention protocol, which can actually be used anywhere on the body - in this case, I might use it all over the abdomen as often and liberally as possible:
Rub 8-10 drops of frankincense (or Sacred frankincense) all over thebreasts.
Layer 8-10 drops of one of the following oils over the frankincense rotating among the 3 oils, day by day:
Sandalwood
Myrtle
Tsuga
For prevention, we may want to do this once a day for a week to a month. We may want to use this protocol periodically, for safety and protection. If we have concerns about our health, we can use this protocol more than once a day for a while.
After sharing with her, please be brave and ask her if she'd like to get started. If she would, go online with her and help her set up an account and order. Again, this is described in the Heart Centered Sharing script on page 42-47 starting with section 16 at the bottom of the page. Don't judge her - allow her to decide what she can and cannot afford to order, and help her get it set up. Look at expedited shipping, as time may be of the essence.
If you can afford it, give her a sample bottle filled with frankincense and another filled with orange oil, so that she can get started, if she wants to. Ask her, "If I leave these oils with you, will you use them?" Look for an honest answer. No need to leave them if she's going to throw them away.
Tell her that according to French doctors, there is no contraindication in using oils in addition to the medications prescribed by her doctors, although it's always a good idea to check with them, as well.
We've been given an opportunity, during our lifetime, to make a difference in our world. We have to put our fears of inadequacy aside and step up. Then we step back, and allow people to decide, for themselves, their own journey. We do this without expectation and we do it with love and gratitude in our hearts for the opportunity to, once again, to be of service to others.

YL Essential Bits 463
Hello All,
Last week I listened to a recorded talk from a few year's ago, about different ways of using Young Living Essential Oils. Someone on the call mentioned that Mary Young, wife of YL's founder and President, Gary Young, has for years (I heard this the first time at least 15 years ago) used frankincense and myrrh essential oils on her face, every either, day or night, and that she has an extraordinary, wrinkle-free complexion in her 60's. I had forgotten about this regime,which I myself tried years ago, but only for a week or less. Now I have more motivation, at 65 years young, so I have been using the 2 oils nightly before going to bed. I try to remember to put them on several hours before going to bed, so they "sink in" before I hit the pillow--otherwise I put a towel under my head. I just put 3-4 drops of each oil in the palm of my hand, rub both palms together slightly and apply to all areas of my face (except eyelids). My face feels softer already, and I can see a couple of dark spots lightening. A bonus---it's great going to be with frankincense and myrrh!
Be sure to check out the invitation at the end of the Bits, to register for a webinar on Wednesday, February 1st, that's all about the new Slique tea and kit.
Warmest regards,

Drug-dependent autistic child now drug-free, on honor roll!..............
Julianne,
Someone in my downline came to me asking if oils would help her autistic son, who at age 9 was on Zoloft, Lamictil and Abilify - he spent a week in a psych hospital under a suicide watch. We looked up autism in the Essential Oils Desk Reference and found that the oils high in sesquiterpenes; like frankincense, sandalwood, cedarwood, Brain Power, vetiver, etc. were recommended. She joined Young Living with the Everyday Oils kit because it has frankincense in it. She started weaning him off the meds, and when her kit arrived she started using the frankincense. She could tell something was changing. Then she brought him over for a Zyto scan and the oils that came up for him were sandalwood, Brain Power, Valor, vetiver. She started using these oils on him and amazing things happened. Fast forward several years.. He is now drug free, in a Catholic High School with no special needs programs, on the honor roll, swim team, and he went on a People to People Tour this past summer without his parents. I'm telling you this so you will know that others have had success with the oils and autism, as well as ADD/ADHD and BiPolar issues. I would start with the oils high in sesquiterpenes. If you have the ability to get a Zyto scan, that would be good, too. Good luck to your friend.
Jackie McLaughlin
Waynesville, NC
Susan's note: Zyto scans are truly worthwhile, and I highly recommend them for your self, and others, especially if you have a healing practice. I have received scans 3 times from my business partner and friend, Theresa Legarie, and each time the oils and/or supplements recommended were completely accurate, and in some cases just what I had been either doing already, or had been thinking of using. Last scan was 2 weeks ago, and it recommended sage, Harmony, White Angelica and neroli essential oils. Interesting that I had just the week before, received neroli in my order for the first time---but hadn't tried it yet. (love this oil!!!) I had been using Harmony and White Angelica,for a time and felt calming energy from them. And sage, I had been wantingto use but didn't have it. Now I do! Anyway, the Zyto Compass!!!---great tool! If you want more information, you can contact Theresa, at cardia@pacific.net.
Severe TMJ healing............................
Good Evening,
Have you tried using the Progessence Plus for your TMJ? I have suffered with severe TMJ for over 20 years. Long story short, after 2 decades and literally $20,000 + later, I was finally desperate enough to have surgery and was going through the process with a specialist. At a YL meeting, Teresa told me about Progessence. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I tried it. For the first couple of weeks, I followed the directions on the bottle but then found out I could use it more frequently. I then started applying it every couple of hours. 3 or 4 weeks after initially starting, I went from a 15mm opening to 30mm. My migrains decreased significantly and the pain in my jaw was no longer unbearable. For the next few months, I continued to apply it frequently throughout the day. My jaw continued to give me less problems. Now I only apply the oil once in the morning and during the day if my jaw starts to feel tight from stress, etc. Last week, when I went to the specialist I was opening 42mm. I now keep a bottle with a fitment ball on me at all times and appply when needed. (After several months of use with the same ball, no problems.)I also find that applying Vetiver on my jaw (outside) helps when I'm especially tight.
Charlotte
.....and.....
My naturopath always puts folks on Progessence Plus, for Tmj applied over the jaw. It's what Dr Stewart recommends in his video teaching on Prog Plus.

Eucalyptus rub.........................
Here is an online recipe that I read about in a newsletter to make an easy eucalyptus rub... or any oil/blend of choice. I personally would slowly melt the coconut oil on the stove top rather than microwave it. Great rub for chest, feet, shoulders, neck...wherever! And the skin benefits from the therapeutic properties of the healthful oil too!
Be well,
Carla Cappiello
I made my own vapor rub cream using organic coconut oil and eucalyptus essential oil. Coconut oil is a solid at room temperature, so I measured out 2 Tablespoons and warmed it until it was a liquid in the microwave (about a minute and a half). Then, I added in 20 drops of the eucalyptus oil and mixed with a spoon. Once the mixture has returned to a solid, it smears on the skin just like any other cream. When Liam had a nasty sounding cold prior to Christmas, I put on his chest before bed and the next morning, all was well!
......and even simpler!...............................
Hello Oilers,
Raven & R.C. oils are designed to be similar to VapoRub.

Susan's note: RC contains 3 different eucalyptus oils, and Raven has one.
YL's new lemon myrtle essential oil................................
Hello there! I have read that lemon myrtle is a great alternative to tea tree oil with a fresh lemony scent. It is germacidal and good for a range of things from acne to sinus to anxiety. I have some on order now and will report back my personal experiences in a few weeks.
Blessings,
Shay
Susan's note: I love this new essential oil!
Using YLEO's in fishtanks......................................
Hi Sue, I used to have very large fancy fantail goldfish in a 65 gal tank. I was always fighting some kind of fungus with them. In my pet store a new product came out for treating fungus in tanks and it contained tea tree oil. AhHa! I thought I would do an experiment with our oils and hope for the best. I took out my filters for a day and dropped in 2 drops of melaluca oil and swished it around with my net to break it up a bit. The next day I was surprised on how perky my fish were and the fungus on their fins was better. I put the filters in for that day. Next day took the filters out again and repeated the oils, 3 drops this time. good results again. In my fooling around with all this I discovered leaving the filters out for more that 24 hrs was not beneficial, that more than 4 drops in a 65 gal tank seemed to put a strain on the fish more than helping. And once a week seemed to keep things pretty clear and healthy.
Hope it might help a little.

Children with allergies or athsma............................
I have several friends with children who have allergies/asthma that come and visit my farm. Normally after 15 minutes in my barn, and around my animals, they come out with swollen eyes, stuffy noses, red faces, and going to 'Mom'for Benadryl, or inhalers, or what have you.
I got rather frustrated so made a rule that if these children wanted to be in my barn, they had to use two oils before entering! First I had them put Lavender on the palm of one hand, rub their hands together, and then wipe their hands on their faces, necks, and arms, and anything not covered. I had them do the same with Peppermint, but only had them inhale this from cupped hands over their noses, but not wiping it on themselves.
Now these kids can spend hours in the barn with no ill effects - no runny noses, no swollen eyes, etc. I was amazed and delighted because now they can spend time with the animals which they love.

Stimulate Your Brain with Enzymes
Gary Young states: Do I have a lot on my mind? Yes! But taking enzymes helps me think more clearly.
Cleaning solvents, antibiotics, household cleaners, microwaves, radiation, and heating over 120 degrees are elements that kill enzymes and enzyme activity and prevent enzyme development in our bodies. Our magnificent bodies create over 3,000 different kinds of enzymes, all with their own job description. Isn't that interesting?
Within the cells of our lungs, liver, brain, and digestive system, we should have millions of enzymes when we are healthyliterally millions andd millions No one, no scientist, has ever been able to document or determine how many millions of enzymes actually exist in a healthy human body, and part of that is because they are having a hard time finding a healthy subject to study.
If you build up your enzyme storage reserve and maintain it, you will discover that you will enjoy good health. I get asked constantly how I go into a country, go into the jungle, deal with what I do, come back, and just keep going and going and going and not get sick. I eat more enzymes than I eat anything else, and I have ever since I made Essentialzyme in 1984. That and the oils are my mainstays. I rub oils on and drink them.
When you do that, you reduce the chance of being sick, and you are able to do more, perform more, think better, and think more clearly. One of my young colleagues just two days ago was traveling with me, and he asked me how I remember all the things I have to remember. I told him that it's easy, because enzymes stimulate the brain for memory retention, memory alertness,
and articulating. – Gary Young - Young Living
Why Are Plant Enzymes Important?
Plant enzymes have a wider range of activity than animal enzymes because there are so many of them such as protease, peptidase, lipase, amylase, glucoamylase, alpha-galactosidase, cellulase, hemicellulase, invertase, malt diastase, lactase, pectinase, and phytase. Wow, that's a mouthful of "ase's".
The plant enzymes, which are in your yellow capsule of Essentialzymes-4, contain Fiberzyme, Polyzyme, and Carbozyme and are so essential for you.
Why is Fiberzyme important? People today do not digest fiber, and fiber is the host to candida, bacteria, and viruses. I have yet in 30 years to see a single patient with candida who was able to digest fiber.
Polyzyme contains protease to maximize protein digestion. It facilitates the breakdown of proteins into amino acids, supports the digestion of high-fat foods such as nuts, and enhances the absorption of nutrients.
Carbozyme contains amylase for digesting carbohydrates. The absence of amylase is the No. 1 cause of allergies today, so look at that and look at your past. Were you a child that maybe was nursed for a couple of months, and Mama ran out of milk, so she had to put you on formula? If that's the case, you did not get enough amylase to build up the reserve in the body to be able to digest carbohydrates. And so what are you allergic to? Carbohydrates. All of this just builds the stage for having a wide range of health problems including allergies and gluten intolerance.
Now again, why are you so sensitive to gluten? Part of it is because all of the gluten products today are made from hybrid grains that have no enzymes. If you don't have the enzymes, the product you are eating doesn't have enzymes, so what's going to digest it? Nothing. It's going to create fermentation and may create a host environment for candida, bacteria, or a pathogen that leads to a disease. You are going to have problems and complications. – Young Living
Vitality with Enzymes
This post is for those of you that may be struggling with uncomfortable stomach concernsthings like bloating, or stagnant, undigested foodd. It can be difficult to determine which foods contribute to the problem, but fortunately Young Living just launched a handful of new products to help!
D. Gary Young announced two great new enzyme products at last month's Orlando convention, Essentialzymes-4 and the newly formulated Essentialzyme. Each has been specially formulated to support various stages of the digestive process.
Essentialzymes-4 combines all the benefits of Carbozyme, Fiberzyme, Lipozyme and Polyzyme into 2 convenient dual-time release capsules. The plant-based enzyme releases immediately upon entering the stomach, allowing it to be broken down and absorbed more efficiently. The animal-based enzyme doesn't release until it reaches the lower intestine, where the alkaline environment and pH level offers better absorption. Both enzymes help your body more efficiently break down fats, proteins, fiber, and carbohydrates.
I especially like the new blister packaging, which makes it easy to drop in my pocket or purse and enjoy the enzyme benefits when I'm away from home. I've also been using the newly formulated Essentialzyme and have seen great results (I'm told this will be available to everyone by the end of the year)designed to help with bloating and related issues, it also features delayed release technology to aid both digestive and pancreatic functions.
As a family, we have noticed a dramatic improvement to our overall health with the use of these products. We have been taking them both for 2 weeks and are absolutely delighted with their benefits in assisting healthy digestion. These enzyme products have resulted in greater vitality, energy, and passion.

Interesting bone information............................
Bones have many frequencies. Each vertebrae vibrates to a different tone up and down the octave in 12 frequencies. This has been scientifically proven by Dr. June in her book "Song of the Spine." What oils do is match the frequency of our bodies.
Happy oiling!

Severe TMJ healing............................
Good Evening,
Have you tried using the Progessence Plus for your TMJ? I have suffered with severe TMJ for over 20 years. Long story short, after 2 decades and literally $20,000 + later, I was finally desperate enough to have surgery and was going through the process with a specialist. At a YL meeting, Teresa told me about Progessence. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I tried it. For the first couple of weeks, I followed the directions on the bottle but then found out I could use it more frequently. I then started applying it every couple of hours. 3 or 4 weeks after initially starting, I went from a 15mm opening to 30mm. My migrains decreased significantly and the pain in my jaw was no longer unbearable. For the next few months, I continued to apply it frequently throughout the day. My jaw continued to give me less problems. Now I only apply the oil once in the morning and during the day if my jaw starts to feel tight from stress, etc. Last week, when I went to the specialist I was opening 42mm. I now keep a bottle with a fitment ball on me at all times and appply when needed. (After several months of use with the same ball, no problems.)I also find that applying Vetiver on my jaw (outside) helps when I'm especially tight.

.....and.....
My naturopath always puts folks on Progessence Plus, for Tmj applied over the jaw. It's what Dr Stewart recommends in his video teaching on Prog Plus.

Eucalyptus rub.........................
Here is an online recipe that I read about in a newsletter to make an easy eucalyptus rub... or any oil/blend of choice. I personally would slowly melt the coconut oil on the stove top rather than microwave it. Great rub for chest, feet, shoulders, neck...wherever! And the skin benefits from the therapeutic properties of the healthful oil too!
Be well,
Carla Cappiello
I made my own vapor rub cream using organic coconut oil and eucalyptus essential oil. Coconut oil is a solid at room temperature, so I measured out 2 Tablespoons and warmed it until it was a liquid in the microwave (about a minute and a half). Then, I added in 20 drops of the eucalyptus oil and mixed with a spoon. Once the mixture has returned to a solid, it smears on the skin just like any other cream. When Liam had a nasty sounding cold prior to Christmas, I put on his chest before bed and the next morning, all was well!
......and even simpler!...............................
Hello Oilers,
Raven & R.C. oils are designed to be similar to VapoRub.

YL's new lemon myrtle essential oil................................
Hello there! I have read that lemon myrtle is a great alternative to tea tree oil with a fresh lemony scent. It is germacidal and good for a range of things from acne to sinus to anxiety. I have some on order now and will report back my personal experiences in a few weeks.
Blessings,
Shay
Susan's note: I love this new essential oil!
Using YLEO's in fishtanks......................................
Hi Sue, I used to have very large fancy fantail goldfish in a 65 gal tank. I was always fighting some kind of fungus with them. In my pet store a new product came out for treating fungus in tanks and it contained tea tree oil. AhHa! I thought I would do an experiment with our oils and hope for the best. I took out my filters for a day and dropped in 2 drops of melaluca oil and swished it around with my net to break it up a bit. The next day I was surprised on how perky my fish were and the fungus on their fins was better. I put the filters in for that day. Next day took the filters out again and repeated the oils, 3 drops this time. good results again. In my fooling around with all this I discovered leaving the filters out for more that 24 hrs was not beneficial, that more than 4 drops in a 65 gal tank seemed to put a strain on the fish more than helping. And once a week seemed to keep things pretty clear and healthy.
Hope it might help a little.

Children with allergies or athsma............................
I have several friends with children who have allergies/asthma that come and visit my farm. Normally after 15 minutes in my barn, and around my animals, they come out with swollen eyes, stuffy noses, red faces, and going to 'Mom'for Benadryl, or inhalers, or what have you.
I got rather frustrated so made a rule that if these children wanted to be in my barn, they had to use two oils before entering! First I had them put Lavender on the palm of one hand, rub their hands together, and then wipe their hands on their faces, necks, and arms, and anything not covered. I had them do the same with Peppermint, but only had them inhale this from cupped hands over their noses, but not wiping it on themselves.
Now these kids can spend hours in the barn with no ill effects - no runny noses, no swollen eyes, etc. I was amazed and delighted because now they can spend time with the animals which they love.

Stimulate Your Brain with Enzymes
Gary Young states: Do I have a lot on my mind? Yes! But taking enzymes helps me think more clearly.
Cleaning solvents, antibiotics, household cleaners, microwaves, radiation, and heating over 120 degrees are elements that kill enzymes and enzyme activity and prevent enzyme development in our bodies. Our magnificent bodies create over 3,000 different kinds of enzymes, all with their own job description. Isn't that interesting?
Within the cells of our lungs, liver, brain, and digestive system, we should have millions of enzymes when we are healthyliterally millions andd millions No one, no scientist, has ever been able to document or determine how many millions of enzymes actually exist in a healthy human body, and part of that is because they are having a hard time finding a healthy subject to study.
If you build up your enzyme storage reserve and maintain it, you will discover that you will enjoy good health. I get asked constantly how I go into a country, go into the jungle, deal with what I do, come back, and just keep going and going and going and not get sick. I eat more enzymes than I eat anything else, and I have ever since I made Essentialzyme in 1984. That and the oils are my mainstays. I rub oils on and drink them.
When you do that, you reduce the chance of being sick, and you are able to do more, perform more, think better, and think more clearly. One of my young colleagues just two days ago was traveling with me, and he asked me how I remember all the things I have to remember. I told him that it's easy, because enzymes stimulate the brain for memory retention, memory alertness,
and articulating. – Gary Young - Young Living
Why Are Plant Enzymes Important?
Plant enzymes have a wider range of activity than animal enzymes because there are so many of them such as protease, peptidase, lipase, amylase, glucoamylase, alpha-galactosidase, cellulase, hemicellulase, invertase, malt diastase, lactase, pectinase, and phytase. Wow, that's a mouthful of "ase's".
The plant enzymes, which are in your yellow capsule of Essentialzymes-4, contain Fiberzyme, Polyzyme, and Carbozyme and are so essential for you.
Why is Fiberzyme important? People today do not digest fiber, and fiber is the host to candida, bacteria, and viruses. I have yet in 30 years to see a single patient with candida who was able to digest fiber.
Polyzyme contains protease to maximize protein digestion. It facilitates the breakdown of proteins into amino acids, supports the digestion of high-fat foods such as nuts, and enhances the absorption of nutrients.
Carbozyme contains amylase for digesting carbohydrates. The absence of amylase is the No. 1 cause of allergies today, so look at that and look at your past. Were you a child that maybe was nursed for a couple of months, and Mama ran out of milk, so she had to put you on formula? If that's the case, you did not get enough amylase to build up the reserve in the body to be able to digest carbohydrates. And so what are you allergic to? Carbohydrates. All of this just builds the stage for having a wide range of health problems including allergies and gluten intolerance.
Now again, why are you so sensitive to gluten? Part of it is because all of the gluten products today are made from hybrid grains that have no enzymes. If you don't have the enzymes, the product you are eating doesn't have enzymes, so what's going to digest it? Nothing. It's going to create fermentation and may create a host environment for candida, bacteria, or a pathogen that leads to a disease. You are going to have problems and complications. – Young Living
Vitality with Enzymes
This post is for those of you that may be struggling with uncomfortable stomach concernsthings like bloating, or stagnant, undigested foodd. It can be difficult to determine which foods contribute to the problem, but fortunately Young Living just launched a handful of new products to help!
D. Gary Young announced two great new enzyme products at last month's Orlando convention, Essentialzymes-4 and the newly formulated Essentialzyme. Each has been specially formulated to support various stages of the digestive process.
Essentialzymes-4 combines all the benefits of Carbozyme, Fiberzyme, Lipozyme and Polyzyme into 2 convenient dual-time release capsules. The plant-based enzyme releases immediately upon entering the stomach, allowing it to be broken down and absorbed more efficiently. The animal-based enzyme doesn't release until it reaches the lower intestine, where the alkaline environment and pH level offers better absorption. Both enzymes help your body more efficiently break down fats, proteins, fiber, and carbohydrates.
I especially like the new blister packaging, which makes it easy to drop in my pocket or purse and enjoy the enzyme benefits when I'm away from home. I've also been using the newly formulated Essentialzyme and have seen great results (I'm told this will be available to everyone by the end of the year)designed to help with bloating and related issues, it also features delayed release technology to aid both digestive and pancreatic functions.
As a family, we have noticed a dramatic improvement to our overall health with the use of these products. We have been taking them both for 2 weeks and are absolutely delighted with their benefits in assisting healthy digestion. These enzyme products have resulted in greater vitality, energy, and passion.

Interesting bone information............................
Bones have many frequencies. Each vertebrae vibrates to a different tone up and down the octave in 12 frequencies. This has been scientifically proven by Dr. June in her book "Song of the Spine." What oils do is match the frequency of our bodies.
Happy oiling!

Hi Barb,
I started my first box of Slique Tea on Sunday, Sept 25, 2011 after the YL Convention at Buena Vista FL. I started at 186 lbs and am now proud to report that I'm down to 154 lbs. Nothing came off for the 1st 2 weeks and then, wham, I started my second box and weight started falling off. I eat a lot less because I'm NOT HUNGRY! and that saves big time on the grocery bill. I assure you it will be on my Auto-Ship order every month. Down 32 pounds and everyone is noticing big time and want this product. I can't wait to have a tea party to share with all my friends and family. It's SO EASY anyone can do it.
Blessings,

In 1991 Gary wanted to visit with Henri Viaud – known as best distiller of our time A meeting was arranged, Henri, 80 years old at the time, had a farm in Provence, France. They enjoyed a nice long dinner. Whole dinner was in French. After dinner, Henri reached over and connected with Gary, “Mr. Young, what do essential oils mean to you?” Gary, “Closest tangible substance there is on this earth to God”,“You are absolutely right!” agreed Viaud.
For more, go to "Finding Pure Essential Oils", parts 1-15
http://www.dgaryyoung.com/blog/2010/part-1-finding-pure-oils%E2%80%94how-do-you-know/
(This series by Gary Young, YL Founder and President, is the most compressive, interesting and intelligent information about YL, Gary Young's introduction to essential oils, and anything else you would want to know about essential oil quality, production, etc., that I have ever seen. Well worth your time to read, and share!)
Slique (pronounced sleek) Tea is an exotic drink from Young Living that has been formulated with natural ingredients to help support individual weight goals. This blend is rich in flavonoids, a dietary compound generally associated with helping maintain certain normal, healthy body functions. It also contains polyhpheols, aslo known as catechins, which may be useful as part of a guilt-free weight-management regimen when combined with a healthy diet and physical activity.
Slique Tea is a delicious, premium blend of wholesome and rare ingredients. It offers a natural alternative to sugar-laden fruit drinks from concentrates, soda, and coffees and can be used as a part of a healthy weight-management program. Slique Tea contains Jade Oolong tea that grows in the high mountains of Taiwan.
Health benefits provided by Jade Oolong tea :
1. One of the biggest health benefits of all is its capacity to aid weight loss. Experts from the University of Tokushima School of Medicine (Japan) proved that regular oolong tea consumption can stimulate fat burning process and specialists from the Suntory Research Center in Japan found that drinking Oolong tea can help lowering the fattening effects of the carbohydrates we receive with food. A research conducted by China in 1998 shows that of all the 102 female participants continuous consumption of oolong tea for six weeks resulted in body weight deduction.
Scientists from the University of Tokushima also found that oolong tea can double the amount of fat being excreted. They also proved that people who drank 2 cups of oolong tea each day burned over 157% fat than those who drank the same amount of green tea.
A US study conducted in 2001 by Physiologist Dr. William Rumpler of the US Agriculture Research Services’ Diet and Human Laboratory shows that oolong tea is effective in burning fat for energy.
2. The benefits for skin: can combat the aging of skin especially with wrinkles and dark sports.
3. It has strong powers to prevent heart disease and cancer.
4. It is beneficial for diabetes patients.
5. It will help reduce high blood pressure. The research that took place at Aichi Medical University proved that drinking oolong tea can help in lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol level and polyphenols contained in oolong tea have positive effects on our arteries and are considered a good support for the functioning of the cardiovascular system.
6. It assists in prolonging and improving vitality and life span.
7. It may help strengthen teeth and prevent tooth decay. Experts from the Department of Dentistry at Osaka University claim that oolong tea is very effective for strengthening our teeth enamel as well as preventing tooth decay.
8. Benefits include help in relieving physical and mental stress.
9. It is beneficial for treating skin problems such as eczema and rashes. Another group of Japanese scientists from Shiga University of Medical Science discovered that regular drinking of oolong tea can help to get rid of skin problems and improve skin color in short periods of time.
10. It helps improve brain power.
11. Lowering blood sugar levels.
12. Finally, a study publicized in 2004 in the scientific periodical Antioxidants & Redox Signaling found that regular consumption of oolong tea can result in stronger immune systems and improved abilities of our body to resist various inflammatory diseases, including colds and flu.
Other Benefits!
Besides the benefits for health oolong tea can also be used as a non-toxic household cleaner deodorizer disinfectant etc.
Slique Tea also contains Eucadorian Ocotea Leaf (Ocotea quixos), as a member of the cinnamon family traditionally used by the natives for health and wellness.
Ocotea's properties:
Decrease glucose levels
Decrease triglyceride levels
Antiparasite (Uncinaria)
Decrease blood pressure
Antifungal
Kills first stage mosquitoe larvae
Anti-inflammatory properties.
Ocotea presents findings that indicate that the Ocotea essential oil possesses potent and safe HYPOGLYCEMIC activity attributable to its alpha humulene concentration effects.
The main constituents, cinnemaldehyde and cinnamate, are responsible for the cinnamon odor of the bark and leaves of Aniba canelilla. (It also has a mild taste of cinnamon)
4 drops of Ocotea S.V. (sublingual via) 4 hours after breakfast can decrease the glucose level an average of 35.57 mg/di
After 4 hours of taking Ocotea, test showed it is still circulating in the bloodsteam reducing glucose levels.
OCOTEA RESEARCH
-38 females, 24 males. All patients were diagnosed with lab results (20, 10, 6, 2 years ago)
-High glycosilate hemoglobin and type II diabetes patients and insulin dependent (5 patients)
-In 5 days the patients were insulin-free and the cholesterol down.
-Uses of Ocotea are blood glucose, local antiseptic, prevents blood clots, anti-cancer, weight loss, candida, anti-diarrhea, fungal skin infections, anti-asthma, foot fungus, non-adaptive, stress.
-Wonderful for diabetics and juvenile diabetics! 1 to 3 drops under the tongue dropped glucose levels 30 points in less than 10 minutes (monitor if diabetic and doing this). Lowers cortisol, which lowers insulin. 3 drops of ocotea essential oil 3 times a day or 4 drops 4 times a day has proven to be better than glucaflague for diabetes. A video was shown last year, showing results of testing Ocotea.A tincture was made with ocotea, and a couple of drops of cinnamon oil. Patient had low energy, cold feet, high blood sugar of 330. One week later blood sugar was 212, then down to 140. Normal is 150.
-Peaceful feelings and weight loss was reported (a few drops orally and cravings were gone).
-Slique Tea contains Arabian Frankincense powder an exclusive ingredient from Young Living's distillery in Salalah, Oman also.
Gary Young spoke about essential oils having enzymes,. Frankincense helps digest toxins and increases the oxygen levels in the body while moving the toxins out. Obesity is linked to cancer, and frankincense protects the body while re-programing the brain.
Pure Vanilla Essential oil has 80-90% eugenol which has a calming effect on the brain, numbing cravings. Also numbs the nerves and gives relief from anxiety, anger, restlessness etc. Vanilla essential oil can stimulate weight loss by significantly reducing a person's sweet food intake.
Amazonian cacao contains a naturally rich supply of antioxidants 98%, and is a good source of dietary fiber. It is also known to be one of the highest dietary sources of magnesium, flavonoids, (which supportthe body's ability to maintain healthy functions) and polyphenols. It also has a high source of Vitamin C.
Amazonian Cacao is processed at a low temperature of 140 degrees while other cocoa is processed at 240-260 degrees killing all its antioxidants. Cacao has been enjoyed for its healthful and invigorating properties in South American cultures for thousands of years.
Caffeine occurs naturally in a large number of plants, and the Oolong Tea has low doses of caffeine and provides a wide range of benefits. It increases alertness, stimulates metabolism and helps to improve mood.
Hsueh-Kung Lin PhD is Director of Regenerative Medicine Laboratory and associate professor at the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Lin also conducts ground-breaking research on essential oils and other natural treatments. Dr. Lin along with Marc Schreuder, Director of Product Formulation at Young Living , went searching for the best tea in the word. It took years as they travelled the world tasting teas. $50 million has been spent in research and the research is still on-going.
Dr. Lin said that higher up in the mountains the best tea was found because there is more moisture to absorb making it taste better. But also making it costlier to harvest. In tea completions Jade Oolong tea won first prize. It won competitions 121 times so we are getting the best. Cost of the bulk tea is $7,000.00 per kilo.
How to use:
It is delicious served hot or cold, Slique tea is a guilt-free staple to any diet regimen. Use daily before and after workouts, with meals, or any time you need a boost.
Bring 8 ounces of water to a rolling boil, let cool for 3 1/2 minutes. Place one pouch in a cup, mug, or filter and add water. Steep for at least 3 minutes and add, if you wish, one of you favorite Young Living essential oils .
I tried Christmas Spirit and peppermint and both tasted great.
Marc Schrueder, head of YL product control and product development, uses the tea and has lost 60 some odd lbs. Dr. Melissa Shelton DVM, lost 30 lbs in 6 weeks. Beverly Krupp lost 10 lbs in 4 days. Shane Sanderson lost 9 lbs in 5 day from Nancy Sanderson, WY

Hi Marilyn and Oilers,
I agree with you. I am also not fond of the taste of Slique tea, though others rave about it. I like to put orange oil, clove oil and/or ginger and sometimes I put stevia in it too.
Hope this helps.
Deb Higgins
Dear friends,
I confess that I am not a very patient person so in addition to drinking Slique Tea, I have been taking Essentialzymes-4 twice a day pretty regularly since Convention and am amazed by the results. I have not gained any weight at all. I know this sounds strange since people are trying to use it to lose weight but for me, this is the time of year I ALWAYS GAIN weight. I am a runner but only in the summer so in the winter my weight goes up because I exercise less and I eat more. Since I turned 30, then 40, and almost 50 now, I seem to gain even more weight in the winter and then have to work harder and harder to get it off every summer. Not only have I not gained any weight in the last 3 months I am not losing my muscle tone the way I have in the past. I really attribute it to the above combination.
If you want to see your results improve, then I would give the Essentialzymes-4 a try along with the tea.
Happy New Year to all!
Carrie
Hello Barbara and friends,
I have used 1 box of the Slique tea. When I drank it regularly as in 4 cups per day made using 1 tea bag I did not crave chocolate bars & other sugary foods nor did I crave Pepsi. I possibly felt full while eating less food. I still don't crave these things as much & I have been off the tea for about 3 weeks. I plan to use it again in the New Year when when I'm back to a routine & not eating out as much.
Barbara Anne Mills
Barbara,
I find when I drink Slique half hour before my meal then during my meal, it cuts my appetite. I find that it cuts my craving for junk foods & my body wants good healthy food. The junk foods taste bad to me. Just my .02
Namaste
Annette
We belong to a company with the highest levels of integrity. They are transparent about their dealings even including ingredients on their labels. We belong to a company who spends hundreds of thousands of dollars in testing before they release a new product. Even the Slique Tea had to wait six years of testing before it was released.
Tiffany Rowan
It was designed for weight loss, but I have found it’s amazing for controlling yeast, and cravings. It’s called Slique Tea and I drink it all day long because it tastes amazing!

Holistic Nutrition Expert who currently serves 10,000 clients. Jen has been a health educator and practitioner for the last 10 years.
Any one of YL's 4 enzyme supplements work very well with the new Slique Tea for weight removal.

Hi Annette & Friends,
I love Slique Tea, too! I was given a cup to drink right before my breakout session at 2:00 pm and didn't feel hungry until 10 pm. I did go out to dinner with my group at 10, but only ate a salad. For anyone who knows me I usually eat 4-6X a day so this is really amazing to me! I didn't feel tired either which is usually what prompts me to eat something. Can't wait until my order arrives!

(This series by Gary Young, YL Founder and President, is the most compressive, interesting and intelligent information about YL, Gary Young's introduction to essential oils, and anything else you would want to know about essential oil quality, production, etc., that I have ever seen. Well worth your time to read, and share!)
Slique (pronounced sleek) Tea is an exotic drink from Young Living that has been formulated with natural ingredients to help support individual weight goals. This blend is rich in flavonoids, a dietary compound generally associated with helping maintain certain normal, healthy body functions. It also contains polyhpheols, aslo known as catechins, which may be useful as part of a guilt-free weight-management regimen when combined with a healthy diet and physical activity.
Slique Tea is a delicious, premium blend of wholesome and rare ingredients. It offers a natural alternative to sugar-laden fruit drinks from concentrates, soda, and coffees and can be used as a part of a healthy weight-management program. Slique Tea contains Jade Oolong tea that grows in the high mountains of Taiwan.
Health benefits provided by Jade Oolong tea :
1. One of the biggest health benefits of all is its capacity to aid weight loss. Experts from the University of Tokushima School of Medicine (Japan) proved that regular oolong tea consumption can stimulate fat burning process and specialists from the Suntory Research Center in Japan found that drinking Oolong tea can help lowering the fattening effects of the carbohydrates we receive with food. A research conducted by China in 1998 shows that of all the 102 female participants continuous consumption of oolong tea for six weeks resulted in body weight deduction.
Scientists from the University of Tokushima also found that oolong tea can double the amount of fat being excreted. They also proved that people who drank 2 cups of oolong tea each day burned over 157% fat than those who drank the same amount of green tea.
A US study conducted in 2001 by Physiologist Dr. William Rumpler of the US Agriculture Research Services’ Diet and Human Laboratory shows that oolong tea is effective in burning fat for energy.
2. The benefits for skin: can combat the aging of skin especially with wrinkles and dark sports.
3. It has strong powers to prevent heart disease and cancer.
4. It is beneficial for diabetes patients.
5. It will help reduce high blood pressure. The research that took place at Aichi Medical University proved that drinking oolong tea can help in lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol level and polyphenols contained in oolong tea have positive effects on our arteries and are considered a good support for the functioning of the cardiovascular system.
6. It assists in prolonging and improving vitality and life span.
7. It may help strengthen teeth and prevent tooth decay. Experts from the Department of Dentistry at Osaka University claim that oolong tea is very effective for strengthening our teeth enamel as well as preventing tooth decay.
8. Benefits include help in relieving physical and mental stress.
9. It is beneficial for treating skin problems such as eczema and rashes. Another group of Japanese scientists from Shiga University of Medical Science discovered that regular drinking of oolong tea can help to get rid of skin problems and improve skin color in short periods of time.
10. It helps improve brain power.
11. Lowering blood sugar levels.
12. Finally, a study publicized in 2004 in the scientific periodical Antioxidants & Redox Signaling found that regular consumption of oolong tea can result in stronger immune systems and improved abilities of our body to resist various inflammatory diseases, including colds and flu.
Other Benefits!
Besides the benefits for health oolong tea can also be used as a non-toxic household cleaner deodorizer disinfectant etc.
Slique Tea also contains Eucadorian Ocotea Leaf (Ocotea quixos), as a member of the cinnamon family traditionally used by the natives for health and wellness.
Ocotea's properties:
Decrease glucose levels
Decrease triglyceride levels
Antiparasite (Uncinaria)
Decrease blood pressure
Antifungal
Kills first stage mosquitoe larvae
Anti-inflammatory properties.
Ocotea presents findings that indicate that the Ocotea essential oil possesses potent and safe HYPOGLYCEMIC activity attributable to its alpha humulene concentration effects.
The main constituents, cinnemaldehyde and cinnamate, are responsible for the cinnamon odor of the bark and leaves of Aniba canelilla. (It also has a mild taste of cinnamon)
4 drops of Ocotea S.V. (sublingual via) 4 hours after breakfast can decrease the glucose level an average of 35.57 mg/di
After 4 hours of taking Ocotea, test showed it is still circulating in the bloodsteam reducing glucose levels.
OCOTEA RESEARCH
-38 females, 24 males. All patients were diagnosed with lab results (20, 10, 6, 2 years ago)
-High glycosilate hemoglobin and type II diabetes patients and insulin dependent (5 patients)
-In 5 days the patients were insulin-free and the cholesterol down.
-Uses of Ocotea are blood glucose, local antiseptic, prevents blood clots, anti-cancer, weight loss, candida, anti-diarrhea, fungal skin infections, anti-asthma, foot fungus, non-adaptive, stress.
-Wonderful for diabetics and juvenile diabetics! 1 to 3 drops under the tongue dropped glucose levels 30 points in less than 10 minutes (monitor if diabetic and doing this). Lowers cortisol, which lowers insulin. 3 drops of ocotea essential oil 3 times a day or 4 drops 4 times a day has proven to be better than glucaflague for diabetes. A video was shown last year, showing results of testing Ocotea.A tincture was made with ocotea, and a couple of drops of cinnamon oil. Patient had low energy, cold feet, high blood sugar of 330. One week later blood sugar was 212, then down to 140. Normal is 150.
-Peaceful feelings and weight loss was reported (a few drops orally and cravings were gone).
-Slique Tea contains Arabian Frankincense powder an exclusive ingredient from Young Living's distillery in Salalah, Oman also.
Gary Young spoke about essential oils having enzymes,. Frankincense helps digest toxins and increases the oxygen levels in the body while moving the toxins out. Obesity is linked to cancer, and frankincense protects the body while re-programing the brain.
Pure Vanilla Essential oil has 80-90% eugenol which has a calming effect on the brain, numbing cravings. Also numbs the nerves and gives relief from anxiety, anger, restlessness etc. Vanilla essential oil can stimulate weight loss by significantly reducing a person's sweet food intake.
Amazonian cacao contains a naturally rich supply of antioxidants 98%, and is a good source of dietary fiber. It is also known to be one of the highest dietary sources of magnesium, flavonoids, (which supportthe body's ability to maintain healthy functions) and polyphenols. It also has a high source of Vitamin C.
Amazonian Cacao is processed at a low temperature of 140 degrees while other cocoa is processed at 240-260 degrees killing all its antioxidants. Cacao has been enjoyed for its healthful and invigorating properties in South American cultures for thousands of years.
Caffeine occurs naturally in a large number of plants, and the Oolong Tea has low doses of caffeine and provides a wide range of benefits. It increases alertness, stimulates metabolism and helps to improve mood.
Hsueh-Kung Lin PhD is Director of Regenerative Medicine Laboratory and associate professor at the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Lin also conducts ground-breaking research on essential oils and other natural treatments. Dr. Lin along with Marc Schreuder, Director of Product Formulation at Young Living , went searching for the best tea in the word. It took years as they travelled the world tasting teas. $50 million has been spent in research and the research is still on-going.
Dr. Lin said that higher up in the mountains the best tea was found because there is more moisture to absorb making it taste better. But also making it costlier to harvest. In tea completions Jade Oolong tea won first prize. It won competitions 121 times so we are getting the best. Cost of the bulk tea is $7,000.00 per kilo.

Hi Marilyn and Oilers,
I agree with you. I am also not fond of the taste of Slique tea, though others rave about it. I like to put orange oil, clove oil and/or ginger and sometimes I put stevia in it too.
Hope this helps.
Deb Higgins
Dear friends,
I confess that I am not a very patient person so in addition to drinking Slique Tea, I have been taking Essentialzymes-4 twice a day pretty regularly since Convention and am amazed by the results. I have not gained any weight at all. I know this sounds strange since people are trying to use it to lose weight but for me, this is the time of year I ALWAYS GAIN weight. I am a runner but only in the summer so in the winter my weight goes up because I exercise less and I eat more. Since I turned 30, then 40, and almost 50 now, I seem to gain even more weight in the winter and then have to work harder and harder to get it off every summer. Not only have I not gained any weight in the last 3 months I am not losing my muscle tone the way I have in the past. I really attribute it to the above combination.
If you want to see your results improve, then I would give the Essentialzymes-4 a try along with the tea.
Happy New Year to all!
Carrie
Hello Barbara and friends,
I have used 1 box of the Slique tea. When I drank it regularly as in 4 cups per day made using 1 tea bag I did not crave chocolate bars & other sugary foods nor did I crave Pepsi. I possibly felt full while eating less food. I still don't crave these things as much & I have been off the tea for about 3 weeks. I plan to use it again in the New Year when when I'm back to a routine & not eating out as much.
Barbara Anne Mills
Barbara,
I find when I drink Slique half hour before my meal then during my meal, it cuts my appetite. I find that it cuts my craving for junk foods & my body wants good healthy food. The junk foods taste bad to me. Just my .02
Namaste

We belong to a company with the highest levels of integrity. They are transparent about their dealings even including ingredients on their labels. We belong to a company who spends hundreds of thousands of dollars in testing before they release a new product. Even the Slique Tea had to wait six years of testing before it was released.
Tiffany Rowan
It was designed for weight loss, but I have found it’s amazing for controlling yeast, and cravings. It’s called Slique Tea and I drink it all day long because it tastes amazing!

Hi Annette & Friends,
I love Slique Tea, too! I was given a cup to drink right before my breakout session at 2:00 pm and didn't feel hungry until 10 pm. I did go out to dinner with my group at 10, but only ate a salad. For anyone who knows me I usually eat 4-6X a day so this is really amazing to me! I didn't feel tired either which is usually what prompts me to eat something. Can't wait until my order arrives!

YLEO's in hospital settings!.................................
....watch these short videos for instant validation of these oils!
Hi Theresa,
Here are a couple of links that contain video's of people using oils in hospital settings. Donna Karan, the famous designer uses and promotes YLEO's in her "Urban Zen" spa setting in NYC. When her husband was in Beth Israel Hospital in NYC, she introduced YL to the doctors and of course they took a look at the possibilities and now use them regularly in various situations. I'm not sure if the doctors have realized the HUGE potential the oils have medicinally, however, for relaxation, sleep, uplifting, etc. they're used on a regular basis. How blessed are we that Gary and Mary Young have dedicated their lives to bringing the power of the medicinal value of Certified Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils to all of us to use. We have more knowledge than most trained medical Doctors regarding the power of plants..Nature's First Medicine with no side effects.accept healing!

"I think if I could only have one oil....."..............................
Hi Georgia,
Purification! Here's my story:
I put a small pot of beans on the stove to heat up. Intended to bring it to a strong simmer and turn it off before heading out, but that watched pot wasn't heating fast enough, so I turned it up! Then left without turning it off. When I got home 1.5 hours later, I could smell the smoke when I opened the car door outside. I was certain the kitchen would be erupted in flames. It was not. Aired the house out, washed everything I could, but what to do for the cloth urniture? Spray it down with 12 drops of Purification per ounce of water and diffuse purification. A few weeks later when my roommate came home, I told what I did and she asked what I used to get rid of the odor because she couldn't smell it! God saved the house, Purification saved the air!
Doing laundry last night from camping this weekend, many of our clothes smelled like smoke, added 7 drops of purification to my liquid laundry soap, and they came out smelling fresh!
I think if I could only have one oil, Purification would be it!

"This has literally changed my life"...........................
For the past five years, I have suffered from debilitating PMS; I know PMS and cramps may not seem like a big deal to most people, but few people have any clue how much pain I was in and how much it was destroying my life. I was a grump to be around and after my period I would be sick for weeks often requiring hospitalization. On top of that, I’m in my early 20s and a newlywed.
On Sept. 20, 2010, I met Karen Hopkins at a meeting, and she told me about Young Living Essential Oils and what they could do for my situation. When I talked to her, I was sure she could clearly see my hesitance because she was about the 40th person who promised they could help me. After being let down so much, I couldn’t even bring myself to believe her as much as I wanted to. However, three days later my husband and I joined Young Living and ordered the products Karen said would help me.
The following week, I had an appointment with my gynecologist, who told me I needed to be tested for Endometriosis. She informed me that it is a surgical procedure where they make two incisions to check to see what was going on inside and if there are issues they immediately remove the problem. I was very nervous about all this, of course, but I was not sure what else to do.
The day before my appointment, I’d received my first shipment of Young Living products. So I e-mailed Karen about the doctor’s report and to ask what I should do with the oils. Karen said to start with one or two drops of Progessence Plus at a time on my forehead and on the carotid arteries and increase the drops if my symptoms increased. She said to do this before my cycle started and then after it started to use as much as I needed until my symptoms stopped. Also, she told me to drop equal amounts of Vetiver and Valerian in a capsule and swallow when it when I had pain. She said to do as many as needed until the pain stopped. I started using them right away. Honestly, I was praying that they would work and decrease my pain, but deep down I doubted anything would help because I’d tried so many things. If the oils did not work, I would hesitantly opt for surgery.
The following week, I started my period. In the first 24 hours, I did not have a single cramp. I kept expecting them to come because at this point normally I would have been at the hospital. I really couldn’t believe that the oils would help this much. I felt nothing! I’d never experienced this before … feeling completely “normal.” No tiredness, no sickness, no pain, no anything! I was in shock and wondering if the cramps were going to come in the following days, but they didn’t.. I called my mom to tell her, and she couldn’t stop crying because of all people, she really knows how much I have been through with all of this. I told Karen I just could not thank you enough! I am such a believer! My husband can’t help himself; he went to work and told everyone he knew about the oils and what they have been doing for us! It’s truly been a miracle to me. Sooooooooo amazing!
Here’s what I have been doing: Progessence Plus two times a day on the neck area for two weeks before my cycle and then three or four times a day during my cycle. Also, Valerian on the bottom of the feet and Vetiver on the stomach area. These were applied used as soon at the period started, and I only put it on those places because I didn’t have the pill capsules yet. I will be ordering NingXia Red to help balance my blood and nourish my immune system and will start putting drops of lemon oil in my water to drink.
This has literally changed my life. I was getting all ready to talk to the doctor about surgery and now … this brings tears to my eyes … I just can’t believe it.

Pain recipe from Ecuador clinic............................
*Hey Sandy,
Here's hoping your foot surgery is successful, pain-free, and fast-healing. Several years ago, when my fractured wrist was repairedsurgically with pins, I used a similar formula (adapted from one used at the Ecuador clinic) to ease the discomfort and anxiety when the pins were removed. It did lessen the discomfort, even keeping my ever-present headache under control during that time. The directions I received were to "Take in two 00 caps orally as often as needed, about 3-4 hours apart." Your mixtures amount to 30 and 36 drops. Either should fit in the two 00 capsules, which hold 18-20 drops each.
At the time I used the pain formula, I had shared your question about how much to mix. If you are not in too much pain to mix this blend up every few hours, either of these blends will fit in the two capsules. On the other hand, it can save some work if you mix up multiple doses in advance and fill capsules as needed. One advantage to preparing the oils in "bulk" is being able to tweak your blend without being as concerned for exact numbers of drops to fit in your capsules.
I played with the recipe a bit, and this is what I used:
20 Valerian
20 Vetiver
20 Copaiba
10 Helichrysum
5 Clove
5 Idaho Balsam Fir
5 Peppermint
If I were mixing it today, and especially if immediately following surgery, I would increase the Helichrysum to 20 drops, maintaining the first four oils at 20 drops each, delete the IBF, and increase the clove and peppermint to 10 each. That will be 100 drops, giving you 5 capsules or 2 1/2 doses. You can take the math from there, after you figure how many doses you may need.
Whatever pain control you decide to use, remember to prevent the pain from getting out of control, if you can help it. It is very difficult to break the pain cycle after it reaches a peak, so take your capsules when the pain is beginning to build up.
Best wishes,
Beth Glass
A dental tip.....................
Hi Cori,
Wintergreen strengthens enamel.
Kathy
Cat tips.......................................
I've had great results using Thieves and Copaiba on my cats. Dilute a drop with V6 oil, rub your palms together and "pet the cat". Copaiba is a powerful anti-inflammatory and also an enhancer so I would apply the Thieves first, then wait several minutes and apply the Copaiba. I usually just apply once a day.
kv
Lavender is excellent for antiseptic. Ocotea is a great antibacterial & antiviral. I have used Helichrysm (diluted for sensitivity) for hotspots, puncture wounds etc and have found great success. Also Lemongrass is one I use a lot for healing connective tissue. If there is pain you may try Idaho Balsam Fir. Elemi is also good for wounds. All these have been used many times with cats. If your cat is sensitive to the smell or does not like Essential Oils, you can use yourself as surrogate with intention of it helping your kitty. I am also using Cedarwood quite a bit - it has shown to me to be an amazing oil. Frankincense has a very high vibration and good for immune system.
You do not want to use all of these at once. (I would use no more than 2 at one time and you do not need much for a cat - I use less than one drop) works best for him.
Best to you,
Karen
"Just get the oils on"...................................
Hi Renee & friends,
When I first got involved in Young Living I remember hearing Gary Young say..."just get the oils on the body." I know there are great and effective and more precise ways to apply oils but the tried and true methods of applying to the feet, wrists, back of the neck, navel, or spine have never gone wrong for me. I think we want all new people to understand that this is really easy to incorporate into their lives.
I think for people new to oils starting with the feet is great. Its easy and the skin is thicker so you don't have to worry about skin sensitivity. I always start one drop at a time. I think smaller amounts more frequently is the best way to go. I also recommend to everyone to put their oils next to their toothbrush so they don't forget to apply them on a regular basis.
Hope this is helpful,
Carrie Donegan
Raindrop, raindrop!...................................
Hi Angela,
Gary Young found that viruses and bacteria stored in the tissues of the spine can create distortions in the spine like scoliosis; the oils in Raindrop are very powerful in their ability to eliminate these bugs which results in a restoration of the balance of the spine and adjoining muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc. and many people have reported and documented how their spine became straight.
Blessings,

Clockwise or couterclockwise applications?.........................
What is the effect of applying oils counter clockwise?
Cynthia in Alaska
Dear Cynthia
That is a good question. Have you read the section in my book on this topic? It is in the latter part of The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple. All of the proteins on planet earth in all species are levorotary chiral. Applying oils clockwise and holding that intent is thought to enable the oils to penetrate more readily and do their work since clockwise is the helical spin of the proteins of all of our tissues. Counterclockwise is thought to inhibit or reduce the action of the oils. No scientific research has been done to prove or disprove this idea, although it does have a physiological basis with respect to the way our DNA and all other proteins are constructed.

YLEO's for recovery.........................
Dear Oilers:
Several years ago my husband went off the mountain on an ATV, broke an arm, ribs and collapsed lung. When I got to the ER I put Frankincense on every place that was not bloody. After surgery I used various other oils on him. He recovered very well. The Drs would just say "If you think it will help" and we know that the oils plus lots of prayer was why he lived. Forgot to mention he had a large laceration on the forehead.

Easy oven cleaning....................................
Happy New Year Everyone!
A long time ago I recall Vicki Opfer mentioned using the Thieves Household Cleaner in her oven and how easy it was to clean it. Well, I've used it and agree with her 100%. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend doing so.
I don't know if it makes any difference to have the oven a little warm, but mine was when I decided to clean it. I'd been putting it off and decided it just needed to be done and NOW.
I sprayed the interior with my usual dilution of the cleaner for basic kitchen use. A few hours later I sprayed it again. Later -- or maybe even the next morning -- I wet one of those green scrubbers and started scrubbing. BUT I didn't need to 'scrub' (hard rubbing). All I needed to do was rub it around lightly and keep rinsing it to get rid of all the dirt coming off. There was no effort, my hands didn't need gloves, there was no unpleasant smell, etc. All I needed to do was keep rinsing the interior. Boy does my oven look wonderful!! (I won't wait so long next time... :) )

YLEO's in hospital settings!.................................
....watch these short videos for instant validation of these oils!
Hi Theresa,
Here are a couple of links that contain video's of people using oils in hospital settings. Donna Karan, the famous designer uses and promotes YLEO's in her "Urban Zen" spa setting in NYC. When her husband was in Beth Israel Hospital in NYC, she introduced YL to the doctors and of course they took a look at the possibilities and now use them regularly in various situations. I'm not sure if the doctors have realized the HUGE potential the oils have medicinally, however, for relaxation, sleep, uplifting, etc. they're used on a regular basis. How blessed are we that Gary and Mary Young have dedicated their lives to bringing the power of the medicinal value of Certified Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils to all of us to use. We have more knowledge than most trained medical Doctors regarding the power of plants..Nature's First Medicine with no side effects.accept healing!
You might have to enter the links below manually into your browser to see

"I think if I could only have one oil....."..............................
Hi Georgia,
Purification! Here's my story:
I put a small pot of beans on the stove to heat up. Intended to bring it to a strong simmer and turn it off before heading out, but that watched pot wasn't heating fast enough, so I turned it up! Then left without turning it off. When I got home 1.5 hours later, I could smell the smoke when I opened the car door outside. I was certain the kitchen would be erupted in flames. It was not. Aired the house out, washed everything I could, but what to do for the cloth urniture? Spray it down with 12 drops of Purification per ounce of water and diffuse purification. A few weeks later when my roommate came home, I told what I did and she asked what I used to get rid of the odor because she couldn't smell it! God saved the house, Purification saved the air!
Doing laundry last night from camping this weekend, many of our clothes smelled like smoke, added 7 drops of purification to my liquid laundry soap, and they came out smelling fresh!
I think if I could only have one oil, Purification would be it!

"This has literally changed my life"...........................
For the past five years, I have suffered from debilitating PMS; I know PMS and cramps may not seem like a big deal to most people, but few people have any clue how much pain I was in and how much it was destroying my life. I was a grump to be around and after my period I would be sick for weeks often requiring hospitalization. On top of that, I’m in my early 20s and a newlywed.
On Sept. 20, 2010, I met Karen Hopkins at a meeting, and she told me about Young Living Essential Oils and what they could do for my situation. When I talked to her, I was sure she could clearly see my hesitance because she was about the 40th person who promised they could help me. After being let down so much, I couldn’t even bring myself to believe her as much as I wanted to. However, three days later my husband and I joined Young Living and ordered the products Karen said would help me.
The following week, I had an appointment with my gynecologist, who told me I needed to be tested for Endometriosis. She informed me that it is a surgical procedure where they make two incisions to check to see what was going on inside and if there are issues they immediately remove the problem. I was very nervous about all this, of course, but I was not sure what else to do.
The day before my appointment, I’d received my first shipment of Young Living products. So I e-mailed Karen about the doctor’s report and to ask what I should do with the oils. Karen said to start with one or two drops of Progessence Plus at a time on my forehead and on the carotid arteries and increase the drops if my symptoms increased. She said to do this before my cycle started and then after it started to use as much as I needed until my symptoms stopped. Also, she told me to drop equal amounts of Vetiver and Valerian in a capsule and swallow when it when I had pain. She said to do as many as needed until the pain stopped. I started using them right away. Honestly, I was praying that they would work and decrease my pain, but deep down I doubted anything would help because I’d tried so many things. If the oils did not work, I would hesitantly opt for surgery.
The following week, I started my period. In the first 24 hours, I did not have a single cramp. I kept expecting them to come because at this point normally I would have been at the hospital. I really couldn’t believe that the oils would help this much. I felt nothing! I’d never experienced this before … feeling completely “normal.” No tiredness, no sickness, no pain, no anything! I was in shock and wondering if the cramps were going to come in the following days, but they didn’t.. I called my mom to tell her, and she couldn’t stop crying because of all people, she really knows how much I have been through with all of this. I told Karen I just could not thank you enough! I am such a believer! My husband can’t help himself; he went to work and told everyone he knew about the oils and what they have been doing for us! It’s truly been a miracle to me. Sooooooooo amazing!
Here’s what I have been doing: Progessence Plus two times a day on the neck area for two weeks before my cycle and then three or four times a day during my cycle. Also, Valerian on the bottom of the feet and Vetiver on the stomach area. These were applied used as soon at the period started, and I only put it on those places because I didn’t have the pill capsules yet. I will be ordering NingXia Red to help balance my blood and nourish my immune system and will start putting drops of lemon oil in my water to drink.
This has literally changed my life. I was getting all ready to talk to the doctor about surgery and now … this brings tears to my eyes … I just can’t believe it.

Pain recipe from Ecuador clinic............................
*Hey Sandy,
Here's hoping your foot surgery is successful, pain-free, and fast-healing. Several years ago, when my fractured wrist was repairedsurgically with pins, I used a similar formula (adapted from one used at the Ecuador clinic) to ease the discomfort and anxiety when the pins were removed. It did lessen the discomfort, even keeping my ever-present headache under control during that time. The directions I received were to "Take in two 00 caps orally as often as needed, about 3-4 hours apart." Your mixtures amount to 30 and 36 drops. Either should fit in the two 00 capsules, which hold 18-20 drops each.
At the time I used the pain formula, I had shared your question about how much to mix. If you are not in too much pain to mix this blend up every few hours, either of these blends will fit in the two capsules. On the other hand, it can save some work if you mix up multiple doses in advance and fill capsules as needed. One advantage to preparing the oils in "bulk" is being able to tweak your blend without being as concerned for exact numbers of drops to fit in your capsules.
I played with the recipe a bit, and this is what I used:
20 Valerian
20 Vetiver
20 Copaiba
10 Helichrysum
5 Clove
5 Idaho Balsam Fir
5 Peppermint
If I were mixing it today, and especially if immediately following surgery, I would increase the Helichrysum to 20 drops, maintaining the first four oils at 20 drops each, delete the IBF, and increase the clove and peppermint to 10 each. That will be 100 drops, giving you 5 capsules or 2 1/2 doses. You can take the math from there, after you figure how many doses you may need.
Whatever pain control you decide to use, remember to prevent the pain from getting out of control, if you can help it. It is very difficult to break the pain cycle after it reaches a peak, so take your capsules when the pain is beginning to build up.
Best wishes,
Beth Glass

Hi Cori,

Cat tips.......................................
I've had great results using Thieves and Copaiba on my cats. Dilute a drop with V6 oil, rub your palms together and "pet the cat". Copaiba is a powerful anti-inflammatory and also an enhancer so I would apply the Thieves first, then wait several minutes and apply the Copaiba. I usually just apply once a day.
kv
Lavender is excellent for antiseptic. Ocotea is a great antibacterial & antiviral. I have used Helichrysm (diluted for sensitivity) for hotspots, puncture wounds etc and have found great success. Also Lemongrass is one I use a lot for healing connective tissue. If there is pain you may try Idaho Balsam Fir. Elemi is also good for wounds. All these have been used many times with cats. If your cat is sensitive to the smell or does not like Essential Oils, you can use yourself as surrogate with intention of it helping your kitty. I am also using Cedarwood quite a bit - it has shown to me to be an amazing oil. Frankincense has a very high vibration and good for immune system.
You do not want to use all of these at once. (I would use no more than 2 at one time and you do not need much for a cat - I use less than one drop) works best for him.
Best to you,
Karen
"Just get the oils on"...................................
Hi Renee & friends,
When I first got involved in Young Living I remember hearing Gary Young say..."just get the oils on the body." I know there are great and effective and more precise ways to apply oils but the tried and true methods of applying to the feet, wrists, back of the neck, navel, or spine have never gone wrong for me. I think we want all new people to understand that this is really easy to incorporate into their lives.
I think for people new to oils starting with the feet is great. Its easy and the skin is thicker so you don't have to worry about skin sensitivity. I always start one drop at a time. I think smaller amounts more frequently is the best way to go. I also recommend to everyone to put their oils next to their toothbrush so they don't forget to apply them on a regular basis.
Hope this is helpful,
Carrie Donegan
Raindrop, raindrop!...................................
Hi Angela,
Gary Young found that viruses and bacteria stored in the tissues of the spine can create distortions in the spine like scoliosis; the oils in Raindrop are very powerful in their ability to eliminate these bugs which results in a restoration of the balance of the spine and adjoining muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc. and many people have reported and documented how their spine became straight.
Blessings,

Clockwise or couterclockwise applications?.........................
What is the effect of applying oils counter clockwise?
Cynthia in Alaska
Dear Cynthia
That is a good question. Have you read the section in my book on this topic? It is in the latter part of The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple. All of the proteins on planet earth in all species are levorotary chiral. Applying oils clockwise and holding that intent is thought to enable the oils to penetrate more readily and do their work since clockwise is the helical spin of the proteins of all of our tissues. Counterclockwise is thought to inhibit or reduce the action of the oils. No scientific research has been done to prove or disprove this idea, although it does have a physiological basis with respect to the way our DNA and all other proteins are constructed.

YLEO's for recovery.........................
Dear Oilers:
Several years ago my husband went off the mountain on an ATV, broke an arm, ribs and collapsed lung. When I got to the ER I put Frankincense on every place that was not bloody. After surgery I used various other oils on him. He recovered very well. The Drs would just say "If you think it will help" and we know that the oils plus lots of prayer was why he lived. Forgot to mention he had a large laceration on the forehead.

YL Essential Bits 460
Hello Everyone,
Happiest of Holiday Seasons!
In this final Essential Bits of 2011, I've included a section of the importance uses for the Thieves product line. The information was sent by YL Diamond, and our upline distributor, Teri Secrest.
Thieves, as you may know, is a most powerful, and effective germ-fighting formula, that also attacks fungus, mold, and even balances blood sugar symptoms. Thieves is my # 1 favorite essential oil to have for anything that might need addressing. I always have it in my purse, in my bathroom closet and at my desk. If I've eaten too much fat or oil, a drop on the tongue almost instantly relieves the sluggish feeling. I love this "miracle" oil!
Blessings to us all as we move into 2012.
Warmest regards,

"In the blink of an eye"..........................
Lavender Foaming Hand Soap #4430 Whls. $9.75 For anyone that works around equipment and gets greasy and dirty, well I have the answer for you. In a blink of an eye the Lavender Foaming Hand Soap will take the grease off like it was never there. What a great way to clean your hands and not have to use chemicals to do it.
I was helping my husband Blaine with the tractor and I got my hands greasy. When we were done Blaine said the Lavender Foaming Hand Soap takes all the grease off better than anything he had ever used. Boy was he right, as I said, in a blink of an eye it was gone.
Also I have another testimony on the Lavender Foaming Hand Soap. I did a lot of canning this year and the red stains from the fruit turned my white juicer an orange color. I wanted it to stay white so I put the Lavender Foaming Hand Soap on it and let it sit for a while. When I came back and cleaned it off, the stains were gone. So I used it on a red stain that was on my table that I could not get off. I let it sit there a while longer because the red stain had been there for over a year. Low and behold the stain came out.
So when in doubt use the Lavender Foaming Hand soap for everything. I love it so much that I even clean my oven with it making even cleaning the oven not a chore.

Drinking NingXia Red decreases numbness caused by MS.....
Hi Teri,
We have a downline with MS. The Neuro-Auricular Technique was applied about a week before Raindrop. Tremendous improvement after both treatments. he wants more. This individual has been on 4 ounces of NingXia Red for about 90 days before receiving NAT or RDT. The numbness in his legs moved from the knee level to the top of his feet with drinking NingXia Red.
Hope this provides encouragement.

"My hair has never been in better condition".........
Let's hear it for the new shampoo's and conditioner's--Copaiba Vanilla and Lavender Mint!!!
Dear YL Friends & Family,
I've been with YL almost 15 years and love all of the previous shampoos for different reasons. I know Gary Young is always improving on our wonderful products, so I was looking forward to treating myself to the new "flavor".
I recently tried the Copaiba/Vanilla shampoo and conditioner and love, love, love them! I have a short hair style with baby fine hair. It's color-treated and I blow dry every day! So...I use lots of the shampoo and lots of the conditioner every day. My hairdresser said my hair has never been in better condition!
I use about a nickel size on each of the (4) sections of my hair/head of the shampoo and make sure my hair is wet as I'm adding the shampoo and that section (I re-wet that area) and love the supersuds it makes. I do the same with conditioner on all (4) sections, except I don't re-wet, I just massage in the conditioner and leave it on the whole time I wash my body.
My hair shines, looks squeeky clean and bouncy and smells amazing!

New products "smell heavenly" and are "wonderful".....
Hello Everyone,
I have used each of the new products and am absolutely amazed about how wonderful they are. They work better in my opinion than the old ones, they smell heavenly,last longer and I'm so thankful Gary Young is always trying to update and improve the product line to make only the very best available to us.
I am very proud of Young Living and "ALL" of our product line.
I'm proud of the leadership and staff of this company and appreciate all they do to help us share wonderful, life changing products to a world of people being slowly poisoned with inferior products made by companies motivated only by greed.
Very Sincerely,
Donna Lee Tingley
I too love the new shampoo and conditioners. The new formula actually makes it so I can get a brush through my hair without pulling half of it out that's still in knots. A huge improvement from the old formula for me. I also have more body in my hair, it seems to work well no matter the climate conditions. My hair is less fly away while still having the bounce and body I love.
For me, these products work 100 x's better than the old formula. I do use more conditioner as I condition daily and wash twice a week.
Namaste,

Reversing Diabetes with Therapeutic Grade Cinnamon Essential Oil............
Posted on August 21, 2011
Reversing Diabetes with Therapeutic Grade Cinnamon Essential Oil. Read this important information on:
How To Reverse Diabetes without harmful medications; The information that the chemical medical profession doesn't want you to read.
In case you didn't know you can treat your Diabetes without the harsh effects of chemical drugs. Let me introduce you to a wonderful spice that is guaranteed to change your life in a positive way. That spice is our Therapeutic Grade Cinnamon Oil (Cinnamomum verum).
Not only does cinnamon activate essential enzymes in the body thus stimulating the receptors in the cells so they will respond more efficiently to insulin, but it also inhibits the enzymes responsible for deactivating¦ causing insulin resistance, writes David W Tanton in the book Antidepressants, Anti-psychotics, and Stimulants, Dangerous Drugs on Trial.
Cinnamon bark actually contains calcium, chromium, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, and vitamins A, Bi, B2, and C, many of which are important for the prevention or treatment of diabetes.
One of the great benefits of our Therapeutic Grade Cinnamon Oil is that you don't have to take it internally to get the benefits of lowering your Blood Glucose (BG). You can rub a few drop on the soles of your feet and receive the benefits of lowering your blood glucose. This option is only available from a Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil from Young living.
A 12-week London study was recently conducted involving 58 type 2 diabetics with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels over 7 percent. Hemoglobin A1c is a marker for long-term glycemic control in diabetics.
After 12 weeks on 2g of cinnamon per day, study subjects had significantly lower HbA1c levels, as well as significantly reduced blood pressures (systolic, SBP and diastolic, DBP).
The researchers conclusion:
Intake of 2g of cinnamon for 12 weeks significantly reduces the HbA1c, SBP and DBP among poorly controlled type 2 diabetes patients. Cinnamon supplementation could be considered as an additional dietary Supplement option to regulate blood glucose and blood pressure levels along with conventional medications to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The History of Thieves™
Europeans began producing essential oils in the 12th century. During the Plague of the 15th century, certain thieves were able to rob the dead without fear of becoming infected by the terrible disease. After being captured and charged with robbing the dead and dying victims of the plague, the thieves were offered a deal. The magistrate offered them leniency if they would reveal how they managed to avoid contracting the dreaded infection, in spite of their close proximity with the infected corpses. They disclosed that they were perfumers and spice traders, and that they had rubbed themselves with a concoction of aromatic herbs (cinnamon, and clove).
Thieves Blend™ was found to have a 99.6 percent kill rate against airborne bacteria!
When Ancient Tradition Links with Modern Society: Thieves™ Blend
Fast forward - 20th century, Young Living Essential Oils begins testing Thieves™ Blend, a proprietary combination of cinnamon, clove and rosemary essential oils for its potent antimicrobial properties. Thieves™ Blend was found to have a 99.6 percent kill rate against airborne bacteria. According to the Essential Oils Desk Reference (Essential Science Publishing, page 125), Studies conducted at Weber State University during 1997 showed the antibacterial effectiveness of this blend against airborne microorganisms."
Thieves™ Blend Product Line: Kill Bacteria - Naturally.
Thieves™ Blend is so effective and popular - that there is an entire line of germ fighting products to choose from: Sore Throat Lozenges; Household Cleansing Spray; Bar Soap; Foaming Hand Soap, Toothpaste; and Mouthwash.
"Our family uses Thieves™ Blend. It is a more natural way to fight infectious germs - it's good for us, and good for the planet." James Niederland, LCSW, Psychotherapist & Wellness Consultant
Here are a few of the MANY ways you can use this oil blend:
Air conditioner Vent - Place 5 - 10 drops on a cottonball and then place it in the vent of your air conditioner (home, car, office, hotel room etc.)
Eliminate odors by diffusing for 15 to 30 minutes, once or twice a day in a Young Living Cold Air Diffuser - e.g. Cigarettes, Pet Beds and Litter Boxes, Bathrooms, Shoe Rooms etc.
Toilet Bowl - Add a drop to the toilet bowl after flushing to eliminate odors. Infections – Rub all around infected area.
Cleaning Vegetables - Soak vegetables (tomatoes, zucchini, etc) in Thieves & water before storing and eating.
Cleaning Fruit - Soak fruit (grapes, cherries, blueberries, strawberries etc) in Thieves & water before storing and eating.
Cleaning Fingers - Before and after using a classroom computer keyboard.
Indoor Plants - Add a few drops to water for spraying.
Splinter Removal - Rub all around splinter for numbness of pain then eliminate the splinter.
Fungus - Rub often onto Toes and under feet until fungus has been eliminated.
Air Freshener - Put 20 drops in to a spray bottle with pure water and spray into the air of any room as a quick air freshener.
Water Bottle Cleanliness – Keep a drop of Thieves in your water for long term trips. Make sure you have either a glass bottle, stainless steel or because essential oils should not be used in conjunction with plastic but because there may be no other options, then we highly recommend that you use plastic made of PET or HPDE.

1-2 drops of Ocotea under the tongue before one eats has been very helpful to many in our group. I hope this helps!

The History of Thieves™
Europeans began producing essential oils in the 12th century. During the Plague of the 15th century, certain thieves were able to rob the dead without fear of becoming infected by the terrible disease. After being captured and charged with robbing the dead and dying victims of the plague, the thieves were offered a deal. The magistrate offered them leniency if they would reveal how they managed to avoid contracting the dreaded infection, in spite of their close proximity with the infected corpses. They disclosed that they were perfumers and spice traders, and that they had rubbed themselves with a concoction of aromatic herbs (cinnamon, and clove).
Thieves Blend™ was found to have a 99.6 percent kill rate against airborne bacteria!
When Ancient Tradition Links with Modern Society: Thieves™ Blend
Fast forward - 20th century, Young Living Essential Oils begins testing Thieves™ Blend, a proprietary combination of cinnamon, clove and rosemary essential oils for its potent antimicrobial properties. Thieves™ Blend was found to have a 99.6 percent kill rate against airborne bacteria. According to the Essential Oils Desk Reference (Essential Science Publishing, page 125), Studies conducted at Weber State University during 1997 showed the antibacterial effectiveness of this blend against airborne microorganisms."
Thieves™ Blend Product Line: Kill Bacteria - Naturally.
Thieves™ Blend is so effective and popular - that there is an entire line of germ fighting products to choose from: Sore Throat Lozenges; Household Cleansing Spray; Bar Soap; Foaming Hand Soap, Toothpaste; and Mouthwash.
"Our family uses Thieves™ Blend. It is a more natural way to fight infectious germs - it's good for us, and good for the planet." James Niederland, LCSW, Psychotherapist & Wellness Consultant
Here are a few of the MANY ways you can use this oil blend:
Air conditioner Vent - Place 5 - 10 drops on a cottonball and then place it in the vent of your air conditioner (home, car, office, hotel room etc.)
Eliminate odors by diffusing for 15 to 30 minutes, once or twice a day in a Young Living Cold Air Diffuser - e.g. Cigarettes, Pet Beds and Litter Boxes, Bathrooms, Shoe Rooms etc.
Toilet Bowl - Add a drop to the toilet bowl after flushing to eliminate odors. Infections – Rub all around infected area.
Cleaning Vegetables - Soak vegetables (tomatoes, zucchini, etc) in Thieves & water before storing and eating.
Cleaning Fruit - Soak fruit (grapes, cherries, blueberries, strawberries etc) in Thieves & water before storing and eating.
Cleaning Fingers - Before and after using a classroom computer keyboard.
Indoor Plants - Add a few drops to water for spraying.
Splinter Removal - Rub all around splinter for numbness of pain then eliminate the splinter.
Fungus - Rub often onto Toes and under feet until fungus has been eliminated.
Air Freshener - Put 20 drops in to a spray bottle with pure water and spray into the air of any room as a quick air freshener.
Water Bottle Cleanliness – Keep a drop of Thieves in your water for long term trips. Make sure you have either a glass bottle, stainless steel or because essential oils should not be used in conjunction with plastic but because there may be no other options, then we highly recommend that you use plastic made of PET or HPDE.

YL Essential Bits 459
Hello Everyone,
Happy Holiday Season!!! Included a couple of gift ideas in this Bits.
Warmest regards,
Susan sent to you by Cristina
Oils for pneumonia............................
These 3 oils, oregano, thyme and Palo Santo, diluted in olive oil have kicked pneumonia in a few people I know. Applying to chest, back and soles of feet several times a day is what got them over it fast, like within 2-3 days. I would also be using RC and Breathe Again.

Great tip for getting oregano oil into children.........
Here's a great tip that I would love to pass on to you....Try putting Oregano Oil in butter (or olive oils) and spreading it on some bread or crackers. This helps me when the kids are sick and they need the Oregano Oil!
This was graciously passed on from
Dr LeAnne Deardeuff,DC.
Hopes this Helps,

Diabetes and YLEO's.........................
Hi Jeri,
I currently take Metformin, for diabetes, and when I use a capsule filled with ½ ocotea EO and ½ Thieves oil blend, my blood sugar goes down dramatically.
I also drink 2-4 ounces of NingXia Red every day.
My doctor approves this (she is a holistic MD and uses the EOs herself).
Be sure to check with your doctor if you're on medication to lower your blood sugar, as Thieves and ocotea lower blood sugar naturally, and youmay have too drastic of a drop if you add the oils,and too low of blood sugar, has its own problems.
Karen
ps. Many people with diabetes use essential oils, NingXia Red, and sometimes other YL supplements to keep their blood sugar balanced, instead of taking medications.
Tooth abscess burst, "never to be seen again"..........
Hi Rita
My bf had a bad abscess. He was ready to have the tooth yanked but he was on the road. I had given him 1 bottle of Inner Defense & Thieves mouthwash. He took 3 to 4 ID a day & swishing with the mouthwash 2x's a day. After 2 days, the pain dissipated & by the end of the week the abscess burst & was gone, never to be seen again! He's been taking 1 or 2 ID a day as preventative not only for the abscess but for immune support as well.

Always carry with you, Peace & Calming when traveling......
Hi Diane,
I fly alot and I always carry Peace & Calming with me and it is a very rare flight that I do not offer it to a mother for an unhappy child. I have yet to see it not work!!! It is really amazing. Sometimes they only have to open the bottle before the baby/child stops crying. Then a drop on the bottoms of their feet works wonders!
Good luck,
Bernadette
Immediately stops bleeding.................
I was introduced to YL Oils a couple of years ago. Somewhere along the way, I learned that Trauma Life stops bleeding immediately and Lavender is good for healing irritated skin. Having cut my finger on a broken glass this Spring, I tested Trauma Life and it indeed stops bleeding immediately.

Dear friends,
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I love the holidays and wanted to share with you a tradition my mom and I have. For many years we made candy trees out of a styrofoam cone, wrapped candy, and pins. To put a healthier spin on the gift I am now making them out of NingXia Red singles. They can be made with as few as 10 singles--a Young Living gift under $15! They are great for teachers, gardeners, housekeepers, mail carriers, etc. It is also a great way to introduce friends and family to Young Living at an affordable price. Best yet, it is a great project for kids--my kids love to make them. If you would like to see a picture, I posted one here.

Dear Wendy
I put toothpick holes in candles then pour joy, lemon, orange etc whatever my mood, I went to a mother earth store once, and they had long skinny tubes, which they put deep into candles, and inserted oils of your choice. That way the oils went to the bottom of the candle. I have had some success with long skinny straws. You need to go real slow so they do not bend.
Great oiling!!!

Why Vitamin C is necessary, and YL's potent Super C, containing the essential oils lemon, orange, tangerine, grapefruit and lemongrass....................
from Teri Secrest, YL Diamond
Perhaps more research has been performed on vitamin C than any other nutrient. In addition to being a potent antioxidant, vitamin c is one of the most important vitamins required by our bodies, and vitamin c is required for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It is necessary to form collagen, an important protein used to make skin, scar tissue, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is essential for the healing of wounds, and for the repair and maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant. Antioxidants are nutrients that block some of the damage caused by free radicals.
Vitamin C deficiency can lead to dry and splitting hair; gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and bleeding gums; rough, dry, scaly skin; decreased wound-healing rate, easy bruising; nosebleeds; weakened enamel of the teeth; swollen and painful joints; anemia; decreased ability to ward off infection; and, possibly, weight gain because of slowed metabolic rate and energy expenditure. A severe form of vitamin C deficiency is known as scurvy, which mainly affects older, malnourished adults.
It is important to include plenty of vitamin C-in your daily diet, or because our bodies cannot manufacture or store it, take it in supplement form each day.
Introducing, Young Living's Super C
Super C™ is fortified with with the following ingredients to balance electrolytes and enhance the effectiveness and absorption of vitamin C. The essential oils that are added may also increase bioflavonoid activity:
Vitamin C helps the body manufacture collagen for connective tissue, cartilage, tendons, etc., and is used for proper immune function, as well as an antioxidant.
Citrus bioflavonoids are anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antiviral, and anticarcinogenic. They have been used to prevent heart disease.
Rutin helps prevent capillary fragility, easy bruising, swelling, and nosebleeds.
Calcium carbonate is needed for healthy bones, teeth, and joints.
Cayenne (red pepper) has been traditionally used as an aid to digestion. It also possesses the ability to break down blood clots.
Zinc is crucial for proper immune function and is needed for proper action of many hormones, including insulin and growth hormone. It helps improve wound healing.
Potassium is required for proper electrolyte balance and to prevent high blood pressure.
Essential Oil of Orange (Citrus aurantium) helps reduce fluid retention.
Essential Oil of Tangerine (Citrus reticulata) is an anticoagulant and helps decongest the lymphatic system.
Essential Oil of Lemon (Citrus limon) promotes leukocyte formation and increases lymphatic function.
Essential Oil of Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) has been used for disinfection and cellulite elimination.
Essential Oil of Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) is antiparasitic, antifungal, and promotes digestion.

YL's Thyromin is an exceptional product!....................
Hello Everybody!!
I just wanted to share what happened taking thyromin this month. First of all I'm really good at taking care of everyone except for myself.
About a month ago my mom went to the hospital because she was having chest pains, feeling really bad and thought she might be having a heart attack.
I won't get into everything that transpired there but they sent her home with 10 prescriptions and told her to take them or she would die. No talk about food, excessive or even stress. Just take these drugs or die. Nice.
My mom told me she wishes she would have listened to me years ago but was willing to listen now. She came to stay with us for a few days to recover.
She told me she was going to go to the store to get her drugs and I said why don't we look and see what others are doing for high blood pressure, cholesterol etc.
Between the two of us we had all the oils recommended and I happened to have a bottle of thyromin I only used a couple of capsules out of(one of her prescriptions was for synthroid).
So for the first couple of weeks my mom was doing great and thanked me constantly.
Then she called one day to say that she felt awful and was going to get her drugs. It was determined that the reason she felt so bad was she ran out of the thyromin. Her order wasn't comimg in for a few more days.
She put myrtle over her thyroid and felt relief right away. That got her through until her order arrived. She said when she took her thyromin she felt a lot better.
She replaced my bottle that she took and told me to take it. She spent the night again and I took 2 thyromin before bed. I woke up the next day and was stunned at how much better I felt. My mom told me I looked a lot better too.
I had a ton of energy throughout the day and I was happier. I took it for four days in a row and really felt good. I forgot it the last two nights and was fine yesterday but today had to drag myself out of bed.
So, I am a thyromin supporter now and would recommend it to anyone with thyroid issues. I know there are hundreds if not thousand of folks who take it instead of synthroid or armour(sp?). Even folks who have had their thyroids irradiated or removed.
Also, you can't get your free autoship points ordering armour from Canada!;)

Information regarding YLEO's going through x-ray machines.........
Hi Amil,
We are currently receiving CARE Intensive training with Dr. David Stewart. He stated that a direct hit on an essential oil molecule will shatter the molecule, but it will regroup. He has traveled many miles with his oils going through X-Ray machines and the oils have never failed to work after arriving at the destination.
Hope this helps,

......more yoga--breathing with frankincense
SIMPLE YOGA TECHNIQUE WITH FRANKINCENSE
Yogis throughout the ages have practiced pranayama, the art of breathing well. Prana means "breath," "vitality," or "energy,"; ayama means "to stretch." Pranayama extends and regulates the energy flow throughout the body. As regular users of Young Living essential oils, we probably all know the importance of being able to breathe unencumbered, deeply, and fully. As we inhale essential oils, the tiny molecules of the oils enter through our nasal passages, into our lungs, and then into our bloodstream, helping increase the uptake of oxygen, among the many benefits the oils provide.
When we practice special breathing techniques such a pranayama combined with using essential oils, we have the ability to clear our minds, calm our nervous systems, and restore balance in our emotions in a very profound way. Try this simple pranayama technique with frankincense essential oil, which is known as the "holy anointing oil." Frankincense can help ground us into a physical experience on the earth plane while also helping lift our consciousness to higher states of being.
THREE-PART YOGA BREATHING TECHNIQUE:
Get your bottle of your frankincense essential oil and lie on the floor on your back with your knees bent. Place a drop of frankincense into your left palm and gently rub your hands together clockwise to spread the oil evenly onto your palms.
STEP 1: Bring your oiled palms up to your nose and inhale deeply; first concentrate on lifting your navel and lower abdomen for ten breaths. After the first three or five inhalations, you may rest your hands on your lower abdomen to focus on sending the air to your lower abdomen. Exhale completely before the next inhalation.
STEP 2: Apply another drop of frankincense to your palms, rub your hands together as described above, and bring your palms to your nose and begin another round of ten breaths; this time focus your breath into your middle abdomen and mid rib cage area. Rest your hands on your rib cage to help you focus your breath there. At the end of the tenth breath, fully exhale all the air out from your lungs and feel your navel draw up toward your spine.
STEP 3: Reapply the frankincense to your palms and inhale for another round of ten breaths, this time focusing on filling your upper chest and upper lungs. Place your hands on your collarbones to help you focus your breath in the upper region of your lungs.
Now put all the steps together for the three-part yoga breath so you breathe evenly into all three sections of the torso: lower abdominal area, middle rib cage, and collarbones. Feel free to apply more essential oil to your palms and inhale if needed. Try to keep each inhalation and exhalation equal in length. Follow the breath and the scent of the frankincense, imagining the oil and the air washing through you. Your steady breath and the frankincense oil will help calm your mind and bring harmony to your whole body.

The Miracle of Onycha
by David Stewart, PhD, DNM
Onycha is an oil mentioned in the Bible, Exodus 30:34, as an ingredient in the Holy Incense to be diffused in temples of worship. Onycha oil (Styrax benzoin) is also a powerful antiseptic and facilitator of rapid healing. It goes by several common names including Friar's Balm and Javanese Frankincense. It is extracted from the resin of a tree that grows in the Far East, specifically in Indonesia.
For more than 200 years, hospitals have used an alcohol solution of this oil as their primary antiseptic. Dissolved in ethyl alcohol, it is called Benzoin or Tincture of Benzoin. It is the smell of this tincture that used to give hospitals their peculiar "hospital smell."
Following World War II, hospitals started to employ other antiseptics derived from petroleum that were less expensive. They are now discovering that bacteria can become resistant to these synthetic antiseptics, but do not become resistant to Tincture of Benzoin. Hence, many of today's hospitals are returning to the natural antiseptic of Benzoin realizing it is more effective and does not contribute toward the creation of resistant strains of virulent pathogens.
Resistant strains of bacteria are a major and growing problem in hospitals today resulting in thousands of deaths every year. Even visitors to hospitals can pick up these pathogens, which can be fatal. Even the most powerful antibiotics, such as vancomycin and methycillin, do not kill these germs. The answer is to be found in natural products such as essential oils.
Chemistry of Onycha Oil
The chemical composition of onycha oil is unique. It contains more organic acids than any other oil. These include benzoic and cinnamic acids. It also contains a compound named "vanillin aldehyde" which is a dominant compound in the beans of the vanilla plants of tropical South America (Vanilla planifolia and Vanilla aromatica). These are the source of the extract with the distinctive aroma and flavor of vanilla we love so much. A more complete analysis of onycha oil is given in my book, The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple.
Onycha oil is an absolute, extracted from a tree resin by solvents, not by distillation. It is darkly colored and very thick. It will not usually pour through the small opening in the dropper cap of most essential oil bottles.
Onycha as a Healing Oil
Oil of onycha is unparalleled in its therapeutic action on open wounds. Let me give you a couple of examples.
A year or so ago, I was using a sharp knife and was not following the appropriate safety procedures nor common sense. The knife slipped and cut my left thumb down to the bone. It bled profusely. I first applied some frankincense to stop the bleeding, which it did within a few minutes. Then I packed some onycha oil, which is very viscous and thick, into the open wound. I did not use a bandage or bandaid or any other covering. I exposed the wound to sunlight a few times during the day and replenished the onycha oil in the wound several times. The cut began to show signs of healing right away. It did not form a scab. Instead, the wound came together and the two sides began to knit together. It never got infected nor did it get sore. Within a week, it was totally healed with virtually no scar.
Another more dramatic example is with a friend of mine. He was using a power saw when he accidentally let his thumb get into the whirling blade which gouged out a chunk of flesh from the pad of his left thumb. He went to the hospital emergency room where they applied some antibiotics and other allopathic potions and bandaged it up. A few days later I saw him in church with his bandaged thumb. I mentioned that I had an oil that might help, but he was not interested. "I'll let the doctors take care of it," he said.
The next week at church, his thumb was still bandaged. When I asked him about it he said he had been back to the doctors several times, but the wound was not healing and was festering and getting worse. Again, I mentioned that maybe an essential oil would help. He was still not interested, his faith in allopathy still strong and intact.
Later that week, his wife approached me and asked if there was an oil that might help her husband's thumb to heal, that was not getting any better and that the wound was still open, refusing to seal up and mend itself despite the fact they had applied all the medicines and done everything the doctors had prescribed. I told her about onycha oil. She said she would gladly buy a bottle if I had some. Fortunately, I did have a partial bottle, and sold it to her.
The next Sunday, he came to church with his wife. They were both smiling. "This stuff seems to work," he said. "My thumb is starting to heal. The wound is closed and it is not draining pus any more like it was." His wife went on to say that they had completely stopped using the prescription medications and were using only the oil. I told him to keep applying the onycha, which he did.
Two weeks later he came to church with no bandage. "I can't believe how this thumb has healed up," he exclaimed. "Look," he said, "There is hardly any scar and the missing flesh gouged out of my thumb has grown back. I told my wife," he went on, "We need to get some more of that oil and keep it on hand."
In the Twelve Oils of Ancient Scripture collection, Young Living has gathered the 12 most significant oils found in the Bible.
How to Obtain Therapeutic Grade Onycha Oil
At this time, the only way I know to get onycha oil is in the 12 Oils of Ancient Scripture Kit sold by Young Living. It is not available by itself.
Susan's note: If you would like to have a copy of the 120 Uses of the Twelve Oils of Ancient Scripture, please email me, as it's too long to include in this Bits.
There are several great suggestions for using Frankincense, in this Bits, so wanted to remind you, if you aren't aware, of the free bottle of this special essential oil that you can receive this month. For details, go to youngliving.us.

I just wanted to share what happened taking thyromin this month. First of all I'm really good at taking care of everyone except for myself.
About a month ago my mom went to the hospital because she was having chest pains, feeling really bad and thought she might be having a heart attack.
I won't get into everything that transpired there but they sent her home with 10 prescriptions and told her to take them or she would die. No talk about food, excessive or even stress. Just take these drugs or die. Nice.
My mom told me she wishes she would have listened to me years ago but was willing to listen now. She came to stay with us for a few days to recover.
She told me she was going to go to the store to get her drugs and I said why don't we look and see what others are doing for high blood pressure, cholesterol etc.
Between the two of us we had all the oils recommended and I happened to have a bottle of thyromin I only used a couple of capsules out of(one of her prescriptions was for synthroid).
So for the first couple of weeks my mom was doing great and thanked me constantly.
Then she called one day to say that she felt awful and was going to get her drugs. It was determined that the reason she felt so bad was she ran out of the thyromin. Her order wasn't comimg in for a few more days.
She put myrtle over her thyroid and felt relief right away. That got her through until her order arrived. She said when she took her thyromin she felt a lot better.
She replaced my bottle that she took and told me to take it. She spent the night again and I took 2 thyromin before bed. I woke up the next day and was stunned at how much better I felt. My mom told me I looked a lot better too.
I had a ton of energy throughout the day and I was happier. I took it for four days in a row and really felt good. I forgot it the last two nights and was fine yesterday but today had to drag myself out of bed.
So, I am a thyromin supporter now and would recommend it to anyone with thyroid issues. I know there are hundreds if not thousand of folks who take it instead of synthroid or armour(sp?). Even folks who have had their thyroids irradiated or removed.
Also, you can't get your free autoship points ordering armour from Canada!;)

Information regarding YLEO's going through x-ray machines.........
Hi Amil,
We are currently receiving CARE Intensive training with Dr. David Stewart. He stated that a direct hit on an essential oil molecule will shatter the molecule, but it will regroup. He has traveled many miles with his oils going through X-Ray machines and the oils have never failed to work after arriving at the destination.
Hope this helps,
Don
Yoga and YLEO's............................
There is an awesome book called Aroma Yoga you can get from AbundantHealth4U.com "Aroma Yoga," by Tracy Griffiths and Ashley Turner
http://www.abundanthealth4u.com/Aroma_Yoga_by_Tracy_Griffiths_Ashley_Turner_p/8986.htm
I gave the book to the Yoga instructor and she put together a Yoga session and then I supplied the oils and passed them out at the appropriate places in the session. It went very well. 3 people in the class became distributors.
Hope that helps,

......more yoga--breathing with frankincense
SIMPLE YOGA TECHNIQUE WITH FRANKINCENSE
Yogis throughout the ages have practiced pranayama, the art of breathing well. Prana means "breath," "vitality," or "energy,"; ayama means "to stretch." Pranayama extends and regulates the energy flow throughout the body. As regular users of Young Living essential oils, we probably all know the importance of being able to breathe unencumbered, deeply, and fully. As we inhale essential oils, the tiny molecules of the oils enter through our nasal passages, into our lungs, and then into our bloodstream, helping increase the uptake of oxygen, among the many benefits the oils provide.
When we practice special breathing techniques such a pranayama combined with using essential oils, we have the ability to clear our minds, calm our nervous systems, and restore balance in our emotions in a very profound way. Try this simple pranayama technique with frankincense essential oil, which is known as the "holy anointing oil." Frankincense can help ground us into a physical experience on the earth plane while also helping lift our consciousness to higher states of being.
THREE-PART YOGA BREATHING TECHNIQUE:
Get your bottle of your frankincense essential oil and lie on the floor on your back with your knees bent. Place a drop of frankincense into your left palm and gently rub your hands together clockwise to spread the oil evenly onto your palms.
STEP 1: Bring your oiled palms up to your nose and inhale deeply; first concentrate on lifting your navel and lower abdomen for ten breaths. After the first three or five inhalations, you may rest your hands on your lower abdomen to focus on sending the air to your lower abdomen. Exhale completely before the next inhalation.
STEP 2: Apply another drop of frankincense to your palms, rub your hands together as described above, and bring your palms to your nose and begin another round of ten breaths; this time focus your breath into your middle abdomen and mid rib cage area. Rest your hands on your rib cage to help you focus your breath there. At the end of the tenth breath, fully exhale all the air out from your lungs and feel your navel draw up toward your spine.
STEP 3: Reapply the frankincense to your palms and inhale for another round of ten breaths, this time focusing on filling your upper chest and upper lungs. Place your hands on your collarbones to help you focus your breath in the upper region of your lungs.
Now put all the steps together for the three-part yoga breath so you breathe evenly into all three sections of the torso: lower abdominal area, middle rib cage, and collarbones. Feel free to apply more essential oil to your palms and inhale if needed. Try to keep each inhalation and exhalation equal in length. Follow the breath and the scent of the frankincense, imagining the oil and the air washing through you. Your steady breath and the frankincense oil will help calm your mind and bring harmony to your whole body.

The Miracle of Onycha
by David Stewart, PhD, DNM
Onycha is an oil mentioned in the Bible, Exodus 30:34, as an ingredient in the Holy Incense to be diffused in temples of worship. Onycha oil (Styrax benzoin) is also a powerful antiseptic and facilitator of rapid healing. It goes by several common names including Friar's Balm and Javanese Frankincense. It is extracted from the resin of a tree that grows in the Far East, specifically in Indonesia.
For more than 200 years, hospitals have used an alcohol solution of this oil as their primary antiseptic. Dissolved in ethyl alcohol, it is called Benzoin or Tincture of Benzoin. It is the smell of this tincture that used to give hospitals their peculiar "hospital smell."
Following World War II, hospitals started to employ other antiseptics derived from petroleum that were less expensive. They are now discovering that bacteria can become resistant to these synthetic antiseptics, but do not become resistant to Tincture of Benzoin. Hence, many of today's hospitals are returning to the natural antiseptic of Benzoin realizing it is more effective and does not contribute toward the creation of resistant strains of virulent pathogens.
Resistant strains of bacteria are a major and growing problem in hospitals today resulting in thousands of deaths every year. Even visitors to hospitals can pick up these pathogens, which can be fatal. Even the most powerful antibiotics, such as vancomycin and methycillin, do not kill these germs. The answer is to be found in natural products such as essential oils.
Chemistry of Onycha Oil
The chemical composition of onycha oil is unique. It contains more organic acids than any other oil. These include benzoic and cinnamic acids. It also contains a compound named "vanillin aldehyde" which is a dominant compound in the beans of the vanilla plants of tropical South America (Vanilla planifolia and Vanilla aromatica). These are the source of the extract with the distinctive aroma and flavor of vanilla we love so much. A more complete analysis of onycha oil is given in my book, The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple.
Onycha oil is an absolute, extracted from a tree resin by solvents, not by distillation. It is darkly colored and very thick. It will not usually pour through the small opening in the dropper cap of most essential oil bottles.
Onycha as a Healing Oil
Oil of onycha is unparalleled in its therapeutic action on open wounds. Let me give you a couple of examples.
A year or so ago, I was using a sharp knife and was not following the appropriate safety procedures nor common sense. The knife slipped and cut my left thumb down to the bone. It bled profusely. I first applied some frankincense to stop the bleeding, which it did within a few minutes. Then I packed some onycha oil, which is very viscous and thick, into the open wound. I did not use a bandage or bandaid or any other covering. I exposed the wound to sunlight a few times during the day and replenished the onycha oil in the wound several times. The cut began to show signs of healing right away. It did not form a scab. Instead, the wound came together and the two sides began to knit together. It never got infected nor did it get sore. Within a week, it was totally healed with virtually no scar.
Another more dramatic example is with a friend of mine. He was using a power saw when he accidentally let his thumb get into the whirling blade which gouged out a chunk of flesh from the pad of his left thumb. He went to the hospital emergency room where they applied some antibiotics and other allopathic potions and bandaged it up. A few days later I saw him in church with his bandaged thumb. I mentioned that I had an oil that might help, but he was not interested. "I'll let the doctors take care of it," he said.
The next week at church, his thumb was still bandaged. When I asked him about it he said he had been back to the doctors several times, but the wound was not healing and was festering and getting worse. Again, I mentioned that maybe an essential oil would help. He was still not interested, his faith in allopathy still strong and intact.
Later that week, his wife approached me and asked if there was an oil that might help her husband's thumb to heal, that was not getting any better and that the wound was still open, refusing to seal up and mend itself despite the fact they had applied all the medicines and done everything the doctors had prescribed. I told her about onycha oil. She said she would gladly buy a bottle if I had some. Fortunately, I did have a partial bottle, and sold it to her.
The next Sunday, he came to church with his wife. They were both smiling. "This stuff seems to work," he said. "My thumb is starting to heal. The wound is closed and it is not draining pus any more like it was." His wife went on to say that they had completely stopped using the prescription medications and were using only the oil. I told him to keep applying the onycha, which he did.
Two weeks later he came to church with no bandage. "I can't believe how this thumb has healed up," he exclaimed. "Look," he said, "There is hardly any scar and the missing flesh gouged out of my thumb has grown back. I told my wife," he went on, "We need to get some more of that oil and keep it on hand."
In the Twelve Oils of Ancient Scripture collection, Young Living has gathered the 12 most significant oils found in the Bible.
How to Obtain Therapeutic Grade Onycha Oil
At this time, the only way I know to get onycha oil is in the 12 Oils of Ancient Scripture Kit sold by Young Living. It is not available by itself.
