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!

Love and Light,

"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

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.

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.

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.

Finally sleeping enough.............................
Good morning!
I've been taking Cortistop for the past two months. I have not slept more than five hours a night in MANY years until now. Since I began using the Cortistop I sleep eight hours and feel great.

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... :) )

Best wishes,
Carol Faust
