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,
Josi in FL

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.

(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

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.

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!

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

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.

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,

2011-12-30T16:12:00.000-06:00

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!

April Travis

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.

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

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.

A couple tips for gift-making with YLEO's...............
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.

Hello Everyone!
It's a beautiful Fall here in California! Hope you are all enjoying the same!

This morning I opened my emails and found this very powerful newsletter I'm sending you, that was put together by YL distributor, Joy Linsley. It includes alot of Holiday tips, including recipes and gifts using YLEO's, but the most extraordinary information is that about the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic's extensive use of Young Living essential oils, daily, in their hospital. Also, you will receive directions to a link on the YL website for a remarkable audio tape about YL's frankincense, and how and why it is effective against cancer.

Reminder that a 15ml bottle of YL's frankincense essential oil is free this month with every 225pv order!

Warmest regards,
Susan sent to you by Cristina

The following is from Joy Linsley. We thank her for sharing her newsletter. We appreciate her efforts and for the great information she has included. Joyous News !

Greetings to all of our Readers, and a special Welcome to our new Members!

To celebrate the fact that the holidays are coming up fast, we've included some recipes to enhance the season, as well as some gift ideas.

Also, most of us are aware of the shifts and changes as we move into 2012. On the one hand we have the positive advantages of much personal and spiritual growth that occurs with change - and - we also face the energetic changes to our body/mind/spirit as we deal with some major shifts in the weather, accelerated natural disasters, as well as the man-made economic challenges, and more. These affect our energy fields and require that we do everything we can on a continual basis to strengthen our immune systems.

Thankfully, we have our therapeutic-grade essential oils to add to any other natural modalities & practices we follow. Because these challenges are causing many people to go into very stressful states, we will address some of those in this issue as well.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT INFORMATION AUDIO – ON SACRED FRANKINCENSE

One of our wonderful, enthusiastic Distributors, Catherine Vestraci, was so impressed with this month's Product Audio on Sacred Frankincense, she suggested opening this month's newsletter with information on accessing the link, so everyone can take advantage of this excellent educational material. And I agree; it's exceptional! Definitely worth your time to listen!!

In fact, this Product Message, recorded by Doug Corrigan - Corporate Product Trainer, and Karen Boren – Senior Corporate Researcher, covers everything from A-Z: the history, the discovery that it differentiates between normal & abnormal cells, has ability to reset the DNA, can moderate inflammatory response, and much more.

The item that really caught my attention is its effect on the nervous system and brain. Karen comments that we don't know how much stress we're really under, and the damage it is doing to our bodies. She said the American Institute of Stress states that between 75 & 90% of all physician's visits are due to stress-related disorders.

Just go through the Product Catalog and pick what special gifts you would feel good about giving!

Make your own gifts! There is nothing more thoughtful or appreciated than something you took the time to create yourself! And its satisfying to do. Here is one suggestion I've shared in the past that people enjoyed making:

* simple bath salts – I've posted several versiions over the years. These are wonderful for both healing and their fragrance in the bath.

-Epsom Salts, Sea Salt, or Rock Salt (the type used in water softeners – available in grocery stores).
Option: Mix half Epsom Salts (or any salts listed above) and half Baking Soda.

-Add the essential oil of your choice (DI Jo Anderson suggested putting the oil on a cotton ball and stirring through the mixture to avoid clumping; DI Laurie Ciardullo puts the salts, essential oil & color into a plastic bag & shakes until well mixed.)

Option: Add color (Jo added a quality powder eye shadow, Laurie added food coloring) – may wish to match to scent, as in lavvender for lavender scent, green for pine, etc.

-Put into container, then label and decorate. I spent some time checking online where to purchase empty bottles & jars; finding where you could purchase them other than by the case was a bit challenging, but I found some interesting ones at: http://www.save-on-crafts.com/glassbottles2
html You can also check crafts stores, and may even have some of your own empty make up or product containers. Craft stores also have a huge variety of ribbons, dried flowers & leaves, and many options for decorating & labeling your jars & containers.

(Shauna of Sha-Faun Enterprises, Inc. writing: I would be very careful in putting color in the bath salts as you are going to be sitting in the water with these salts and do you really want a color that might color your skin or worse yet, harm your skin and body system? Food coloring is a chemical,why would you want to create a natural, beautiful bath salt for soothing and healing.....and then add chemicals? I use Epsom Salts and Essential Oils in my bath all the time, but I do not add anything else and I receive a beautiful fragrant, healing, soothing and relaxing experience. I simply add a cup or so of Epsons Salts and my Young Living Essential Oil of choice directly to the bath water as the tub is filling....especially soothing when tired from a long day of work and/or stress.)

* SALT GLOW
Very simple to make, but a great way to exfoliate the skin so that it has a youthful glow!! And smells divine.

Using regular (sea salt) or popcorn salt, combine half and half salt and V6 Mixing Oil or pure vegetable oil. Add several drops of the essential oil of your choice (amount depending upon the amount of mixture; add a drop at a time until the desired level of fragrance is reached. Let
sit for 4 days. Then put into individual containers, label & decorate J.

THE FLIP SIDE OF HOLIDAY JOY – MANAGING STRESS

On balance, since we are about supporting people in achieving a state of optimal health, itâ€™s important to include those who face challenges from stress, and particularly as the holidays roll around. For all of the joys of the season, it also inherently brings with it some stresses. In truth,
it isnâ€™t only the holidays, but the speed of life today, and all of the challeges we face with adulterated foods, damage from medications, the hardships many face with the economic downturn, all of which means that we need to work harder than ever on our PREVENTIVE HEALTH CARE.

Whether you, or anyone you know, is dealing with general or seasonal stress, or something more serious (the media has been focusing a lot lately on returning servicemen & women with PTSD, and we are hearing a great deal over the past year of people with Bi-Polar, and other emotional challenges), fortunately, Young Living offers some answers. And our generous members are
willing to share their positive experiences on two of my favorite chatlines: Pine Hill Group and Greater Joy Group. Here are some of their helpful/hopeful posts (and we thank them all):

* Katherine Dineen responded a while back to my concerns about a person enduring high stress levels, with this post:

Hi Joy, I may have a personal blend that will work for…stress leevels.Created it when a coworker got me so torqued up that I was still wired for sound and wide awake at 1 AM!

3 drops tangerine, 15 drops bergamot, 20 drops marjoram, 3 drops pine, 2 drops Roman chamomile, 5 drops cedarwood, & 2 drops lavender.

I fill up the bottle, then add my favorite carrier oil of choice. This is good for mental and emotional stress. First time I used it I was asleep within 5 minutes! Kady YL843846
~~~

On Greater Joy, Lisa asked for help for the 17-year-old son of an acquaintance who was diagnosed as Bi-Polar. Here are the responses:

* Gary talked about his a little at convention. He mentioned that we need more enzymes. Everything we eat is deficient of enzymes our modern diet. Even our children and teens, leading to what could be many physical and mental issues. Gary mentioned bi-polar, he said add enzymes to diet.

We now have Essentialzyme 4 you take two each meal. We also learned that what doesn't go into digesting what we ate, it will break down into the system for much needed amino acids.

Anyone else please feel free to add to this.
Charla Sirtoff
~~~

* A friend with severe bipolar discovered that Citrus Fresh on the bottom of his feet and Vetiver applied to his neck and shoulders relieved the bipolar symptoms dramatically. His mental health practitioners noticed the difference and stated that it was the best they had ever seen him.

Encourage your person to try some different oils to see what works best for him. Also improve the diet, take YL enzymes, cleanse, switch to toxin-free personal care and cleaning products like our Thieves products. Detoxify and Oxygenate as I was once told by a naturpathic doctor.

Nancy Greer, Golden, Colorado

* There is at least one study that showed the biopolar can be a thyroid imbalance. Beuna

My Notes: If this is suspected, it would be wise to have blood work done to be certain, and follow the protocols to balance the thyroid. We have an excellent product that has proven helpful to many: Thyromin

Also, I have heard from a number of sources, that this can also be not just thyroid, but a general hormone imbalance. Again, worth getting tested. Then check into our Progessence Plus Serum. FYI, If you have questions about that product, Dr. Dan Purser has a page on Facebook as Dan Purser. His info page gives his emails & websites. You will also be able to learn where he is giving seminars, and if they are in your town, you can get yourquestions answered in person. Joy
~~~

* I have seen people with this condition respond favorably to the four oil protocol: Valor, Harmony, Joy, and White Angelica.

Valor - wrists or feet (increases confidence/courage)
Harmony - solar plexus (above belly button) (harmonious connections to self/others/Spirit)
Joy – heart (mood lifting)
White Angelica - brush from head to toe (Protection)

If they cannot afford all 4, Valor and Joy are an excellent choice. If he doesn't want to "smell" like Joy, his mom might consider puttin 1-2 drops of either all 4 oils, or at least the Valor and Joy, and giving it to him as a supplement. Or he can apply them on his feet, wait a few minutes, and then take his shower. Valor, alone, might also be helpful.

Let us know what you find that works for him!
Vicki Opfer
~~~~~~
NOTE: Two of the oils mentioned in Vickiâ€™s post – Valor annd Harmony – are included in the FEELINGS KIT. This entire kit is of great value for ANY emotional imbalance. Here is information on the complete kit:

Feelings features six essential oil blends formulated by D. Gary Young to promote emotional clearance and self renewal. This collection includes Valor, Harmony, Forgiveness, Inner Child, Release and Present Time.

Product Story
Inspired by D. Gary Young's life experiences, the Feelings collection was designed to lift negative impressions and allow openness to new beginnings. Everyone has experienced lasting adverse impressions that scar our inner self, prohibiting self growth and accomplishment. Following the Feelings regimen, one can begin the path of self identification by aligning their
emotions. providing the foundation for emotional health. Negative experiences and ideas are recorded in our brains and locked into our memories throughout our lives. These memories range from mild to extreme and have a profound effect on our health and happiness. In order to become
who we are intended to be, we must erase these negatives and reprogram our thoughts to make positive ideas our reality. D. Gary Young

RE Instructions for the Feelings Kit:
I still have my original kit, which has since been changed from 12 oils to 6. However, it did include a tape of instructions, and I believe the new kits have a tape or CD as well. But if not, you can order the Feelings CD at www.lifesciencepublishers.com , Product Code: 4FEC1. It gives instructions for the original set of 12 oils, which actually is beneficial, as the additional 6 are still available as single oils. Also, you can check in the Essential Oils Desk Reference as to how to use each oil.Needless to say, it can also be very important to get some professional help and to incorporate practices that assist in creating inner calm: meditation deep breathing, taking walks, drinking lots of pure water, making certain you are alkalizing your body.
~~~~~

* Last but definitely not least of our suggestions, when you check out the link to the Product Audio listed above, you will hear how valuable Sacred Frankincense can be for managing stress.

SOME EXTRAORDINARY NEWS!!
Here are three recent posts from Distributors that are truly cause for celebration!

1) 3rd Largest Hospital Is Using Young Living Essential Oils In A HUGE WAY Now! (Shared by YL distributor, Joan Apter)

Under the direction of Dr.Toby Cosgrove, a true visionary and President/CEO of The Cleveland Clinic-a $5 billion healthcare system, we became the first major academic medical center to make patient experience a strategic goal, and the first major healthcare system to appoint a Chief Experience Officer. We adopted the Planetree philosophy and have branded our own Cleveland
Clinic version, Patients First. Our Patients First program assures world class care that addresses the patients physical comfort as well as their educational, emotional, and spiritual needs. Our Healing Services program is an integral part of our Patients First program and under the Integrative Therapies umbrella, the Healing Services Team provides Reiki, massage, guided imagery and aromatherapy to our staff and patients.

We initially began by using essential oils on our medical/surgical floor. We encouraged and gave financial assistance to the charge nurse to become a certified aromatherapist. She is now a member of both the National Association of Holistic Aromatherapists and the Alliance of International Aromatherapists, and has done a wonderful job of clinically integrating essential oils into our daily practice. In order to insure consistent quality, we use Young Living Oils exclusively.

Most of the oils are used Neat, (undiluted), and others are diluted with extra virgin olive oil depending on each situation. We also diffuse Young Living Essential Oils at nursing stations, in our PACU, physicianâ€™s lounges, and in some offices.

Over the last year, our charge nurse has done several in-services and training sessions throughout the hospital. Through her tireless efforts she has created solid educational relationships with both our orthopedic and general surgery doctors, and regularly gets consults on all floors of the hospital. She is currently working to educate our medical doctors to get them on board as well.

We regularly treat gout, neuropathy, carpel tunnel, sinusitis, headaches, abdominal pain, kidney stone pain,neuralgia, tennis elbow, arthritis, back pain, leg cramps, post-op hip and knee pain and whatever else comes our way. Each patients need, including which Young Living Essential Oils were used, is documented in our electronic charting so we can track their outcomes. We always have a good stock of Young Living lavender, peppermint, Peace and Calming, lemongrass, Thieves and plenty of single oils to make blends for gout.

We have great expectations for the future of our aromatherapy program and hope to train enough folks to cover our Cancer Care Center and Pain Clinic, and look forward to the day we can do clinical studies on arthritis, post-op nausea, and hypertension.

We would never even entertain the idea of using any other essential oil in our hospital. Young Living Essential Oils not only provide us with the level of quality we expect, but they are always consistent in their formulation so we are assured of the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Again, thanks for educating us.

D.J.R., RRT, RM. Co-Chairman, Integrative Therapies, Cleveland Clinic
Healing Services Team

May many more healthcare facilities adopt the wonderful policies/attitudes/programs that are now implemented by the Cleveland Clinic

2) Cancer went away and surprised my doctor

Annette Acosta, NM, posted this incredible message on Oil-Testimonials.com O6/22/10:

I was diagnosed 7 years ago with breast cancer; started getting radiation. I started to use frankincense, helichrysum, sandalwood, Ningxia Red. I did my 2 month's check up and my doctor told me that i didn't have anymore breast cancer. So then i stopped using my oils and drinking Ningxia Red.

Then just last year i was diagnosed again with breast cancer so i got a couple of surgeries then after the surgeries the cancer started to spread; it also spread to my brain. I started doing chemotherapy. I also had gamma knife treatment for my brain cancer. That was awful.

Last year in may my cancer doctor told me that i have 6 month's to live cause the chemotherapy is not helping. I told him no i'm not going to give up, i will do whatever it takes. I also told my doctor that i was not going to do chemotherapy - no more; he was so upset. I went home and started to use frankincense, helichrysum, sandalwood, Ningxia Red. Like i did before. In 2 months i went for a check up on my cancer and my cancer doctor told me that the cancer was shrinking. I was so glad.

My cancer doctor was so surprised that it had been past my 6 months that i was diagnosed to live. Now in january 2010 i went back for a check up and my doctor gave me the wonderful news. I was cleared i have no more cancer any where in my body. One thing i do have to say that i will never ever again stop drinking my Ningxia Red and using my oils.

3) BROKEN BACK – AND NO SURGERY!!

Christine, from NY, posted on Pine Hill:

My 21 year old son (had a motorcycle accident on 10/2/2011) broke his back, lower lumbar L-1. He is doing great. 2 - 3 x's per day we applied Helichrysum, Sandalwood and Panaway. [Also] Lavender to all of his scars. Just came from the ortho/surgeon and he is doing remarkable - no surgery!

If you know anyone who doubts the effectiveness of our therapeutic-grade oils, just share those testimonials with them. Joy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PRODUCT TIP:

Just had to share this story:

My husband and son were working on the car yesterday and came in with super glue all over their fingers. In their haste to deal with getting it off their fingers, they set the sticky tube on the glass top to my stove. An hour or so later, they discovered the tube stuck to the stove top! Thank heavens for lemon oil! I put it on and let it set for about 5-10 minutes straight (no dilution). I then took a spatula and scraped the super glue right off without damaging my stove cook top!

Lemon Oil to the rescue!

BUSINESS BUILDING TIPS

SHARING OILS INFORMATION / GETTING PROSPECTS TO BECOME MEMBERS

A Massage Therapist posted a question on Greater Joy as to how a massage therapist can share oils with their customers to encourage them to enroll. Julie Chertow, an MT and YL Gold, posted this excellent reply, which can apply to all members, not just MTs.

Hello
I am a massage therapist for 26 years and using Young Living oils in my practice for 14 years with a very successful group downline. I am replying to the group as it seems there were others who also wanted to know how to share oils with your clients.

My #1 Best advice is not to say anything! Give them a Raindrop session and let them have their own experience! I tell you they come begging you for how to get the oils!!

Another way is, whenever you have a client on your table we tend to hear a whole lot about their lives and what they are going through and all. So for example, if a client tells me they have neck and shoulder pain, or headaches or a hard time sleeping or whatever, its true, we do have an oil for just about everything! So I will make suggestions of what they can use to support their particular situation.

Now here is the other thing. I never ever say "I can "sign you up" That was shown to me as a huge NO NO!!! What i say to them is, "I can open you a wholesale account with Young Living and you can get 24% off retail prices, the same prices I get for the oils" and they all say oh great, ok what do I need to do?" So I get all their information needed to open an account and later in the evening when I am finished giving my sessions, I will open their account online. It takes all of 5 minutes. I've found if I left it to them, they never would open their accounts.

I immediately send them an email with their new ID #, their chosen pin # and password, and how to place an order for themselves for all future orders. And, I make sure to tell them they must place a one time minimum order of 50PV within one calendar year of their last order. I tell them to make sure they keep their info on file. I also keep their info in my database in case they ever lose their ID # or password or whatever. I do get emails or calls from time to time with people needing to remember.

I will also share 3 of my most favorite things about the oils with them. I can speak of them and keep it under 2 minutes. I share how highly oxygenating the oils are, how the oils raise our frequency and how well they work in our Amygdala area of our brain to release stored emotions. And these days, I find myself sharing how magnificent our oils are to help support people on every level through these wildly changing times on our planet.

I hope this lends some good ideas and support. It definitely all works for me!

Blessings

YL Essential Bits 456

2011-11-08T20:47:00.000-06:00

Hello Everyone!
Young Living's Frankincense essential oil is FREE the month of November, with each 225pv order! That is a $91.78 (retail value), gift from Young Living!

Frankincense is one of the essential oils I always have available!!!---ever since I heard the account, years ago, of a man who was dying of liver cancer and was in extreme pain that even morphine would no longer touch. The man's wife met someone, during this time, who used YLEO's, and suggested she try frankincense for her husband's pain. After applying the Frankincense over the man's liver area, there was no more pain, and hehad a peaceful transition. Frankincense is one of the only substances known that crosses the blood-brain barrier, thus making it a very important aspect of brain cancer treatment. As well as for all tumors, in conjunction with other essential oils specific to other organs, etc., as many studies have shown frankincense to be anti-tumoral, and effective in tumor reduction and elimination.

Here’s an excerpt from Immunologist Mahmoud Suhail who is intending to open a new chapter in the history of frankincense…

“Cancer starts when the DNA code within the cell’s nucleus becomes corrupted,” he says. “It seems frankincense has a re-set function. It can tell the cell what the right DNA code should be. “Frankincense separates the ‘brain’ of the cancerous cell – the nucleus – from the ‘body’ – the cytoplasm, and closes down the nucleus to stop it reproducing corrupted DNA codes.”

Working with frankincense could revolutionize the treatment of cancer. Currently, with chemotherapy, doctors blast the area around a tumour to kill the cancer, but that also kills healthy cells, and weakens the patient. Treatment with frankincense could eradicate the cancerous cells alone and let the others live.

SOURCE: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8505251.stm
Susan's note: Dr. Suhail, spoke at YL's 2010 Convention, and is an active partner with Gary Young and Young Living in the distillation of frankincense in Oman.

Warmest regards,

Bi-polar disorder or manic depression..........
Like millions of Americans I suffer from bi-polar disorder, otherwise known as manic depression. For over a decade now I have taken many of the latest medications used to stabilize mood swings. I continue to take these medicines and will do so in the future as they help a great deal. However, these pills do not cure the disease nor do they create a sense of joy or well being.

Several months ago my masseuse, an essential oil distributer, introduced me to Young Living products and I have not looked back. My depressions have lessened and my sense of self has been dramatically improved. There is now a joy in living that I have not felt in years. I am still experimenting with different oils but have found some constants already. I use Joy, Peace and Calming, Valor, Ylang Ylang, SARA, Lavender, and now I have added Frankincense, Rosewood and Brain Power (an especially effective oil). I rub them on the bottom of my feet, on my neck, on my chest, and inhale them with the diffuser. I should add that my wife now uses essential oils and is completely sold on them.

I published a book on manic depressive disorder and should there be a second edition I will add a chapter on essential oils. They have brought me to a new level of health and well being and I gratefully share these experiences with others.

.....In addition for bi-polar and other mental issues.....
Lisa, Gary talked about this at convention. He mentioned that we need more enzymes. Everything we eat is deficient of enzymes in our modern-day diet.

(Susan's note: Mostly due to minerals lacking in the soil, so plants don't pick up adequate quantities when growing.)

Even our children and teens are deficient, leading to what could be many physical and mental issues. When Gary mentioned bi-polar, he said to add enzymes to diet. We now have Essentialzyme 4--you take two each meal. We also learned that the enzymes don't simply go into digesting what we eat, but will also break down in the system for much needed amino acids.

Successful PMS recipe............................
Susan's note: I would try it for depression, mood swings, etc., also!

Hi Betty -
I started to PMS and thought I would try the oils this time around. I started taking, in gelcaps, 3 drops of Bergamot, 3 drops of Lavender, 3 drops of Valor and I like to always add Frankincense 3 drops.I feel like the Frankincense ties together whatever I'm mixing. 1 gelcap every 4 hours. I felt soooooooooo good that I continued through my cycle. I usually get VERY PAINFUL periods. I have been diagnosed with desmenoria.... which really means they don't know what is causing the pain. I bloat an enormous amount. I am happy to report I had no bloating! Whenever I would feel that I would start to cramp I would take another gelcap. It was wonderful! Apart from no pain...it was miraculous that I had no bloating. O.k.... I started to work out the following week so that means lactic acid build up...SORE MUSCLES... I continued the gelcaps every 4 hours. Guess what? no muscle soreness. I was tired from workouts but NOT SORE!!!! All of this for me IS A MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH!!!!!!

also, using Frankincense on a dog's issue.....
Also, I am going to tell you my yorkie had an inflamed ear.....I swiped a q-tip with Lavender and Frankincense for a couple of days now 2 times a day and swelling is gone. I am so happy with the oils!!!!!!!!!! Best of luck to you... try it, it can not hurt.

Getting rid of MRSA.....................
ROT = Rosemary, Oregano, and Thyme. Two to Four drops each in a gelatin capsule. Three times per day for three weeks. Go off for a week to let the liver recover from the oregano. Then, resume the regimen or do a month of Inner Defense capsules (one per day). If takes a while to get the MRSA out of your system, but this does work.

If you can get into a tub, take a epsom salts & baking soda bath every day. You can add some essential oils to the bath--- lemongrass, RC, melrose, lavender (for skin healing), melaleuca alternafolia.

Susan's note: melaleuca and lemongrass are particualrly powerful for treating MRSA.

The final thing is clorox underclothes, towels and bed linens. You can use oils to disinfect these, but I find it cheaper and easier to just put diluted clorox in the washer for these. I dilute 1/4 cup clorox with 3/4 water and add it to the washer after the water fills up. Only use the towels once (don't share towels! use paper towels instead of a hand towel by the sink) and change bed linens at least once a week, more is preferrable if you are sleeping with a spouse.

All the best,
Susan Cochran

....emphasizing the effectiveness of lemongrass!....
Dear Eileen,
I had MRSA in my foot (from a brown recluse spider bite) for over a year. And in my case, I used many oils on it with no lasting results. I finally soaked my foot in a half bottle of YL's lemongrass. It took several hours to absorb all the oil. I repeated this process the next day. On the third day my foot started oozing infection (MRSA) and was much better. I repeated this over process a few times over the following weeks to make sure I got it all.

Susan's note: I love the ingenuity of those using these oils!

For massage therapists - How to share Young Living Essential Oils......
....but, Everyone can benefit from this information.........
HI there,

I am a massage therapist and have used the oils in my practice since I started YL three years back. What I do is :

1. I have a flyer posted that I created about the benefits of YL oils

2. When I have a new client and have cleared that they are not sensitive to scent I tell them I run a diffuser in the room and I offer them a few scents to choose from. I then run the diffuser with th oil they choose.

3. I also let them know that the oils can help open up the muscles and support emotional and spiritual process. I ask them if they would be comfortable with me using them in the massage. I then apply one or two. (Initially , when I was first learning about the oils, the oils taught me about themselves through putting them on my clients. I always use one of the hotter oils for muscles, but now find that I am alwasy intuitively led to put an emotional oil on them. My clients now just ask what I have used and proceed to tell me why I chose that. LOL I am amazed how the oils talk to me and how my clients resonate with them and allow them to open up and release stuck feelings. )

4. At the end of the massage I ask them about their experience and if they are interested in getting their own oils to support them that I can let them know how.

5. Periodically I will suggest/offer a Rain drop treatment at my massage cost and those have generally been the clients that have signed up. After they see the benefits of that treatment and that the price I charge for a Raindrop is much more than a massagebc of the cost of the oils and that they can save by buying the kit. THey then bring their own oils for their treatments and I cont. to charge my massage price.

6. I have a lot of clients that "emote" on the table. I have offered oil sample bottles to support them when they go home. From that I have had clients then puchase some oils.

7. I also offer home gatherings that I invite my clients to to learn about the oils. HeartCentered Sharing by Vicky Opfer is one of my preferred ways to share the oils. I also combine that with T. Seacrest's Power Point presentation and connect my computer to a tv to share it. Most of my down line has come from this way of sharing.

What I have discovered is that as the oils become part of your life talking about them becomes easier bc you are having your own experiences with them. I hope some of this is helpful.....
Namaste, Mariel

........also........
I've been sharing oils with massage clients for years. Just using them in a session usually makes clients inquire "what is that and how can I get some?" Most of my sessions begin with Valor on the feet (or Peace & Calming, depending on the client) and then having the client inhale a drop from my hands as they "take a nice deep breath" to start the session. I also explain what oil or oils I'm using in a session and why I'm using them (often I do this after the session, to avoid interrupting the flow of the massage with talk), just as part of my general education. If they ask me to order some for them, I tell them "Well, I COULD order for you, but wouldn't you like to be able to buy your own oils whenever you want?" If I have time, I briefly explain about becoming a distributor--a few times I have actually gone right to my computer and signed them up on the spot! Or else I invite them to an upcoming class about essential oils so they can learn more...or, I ask them when we can chat on the phone in the next day or so if they really seem interested. I never like to push...I just share and let clients come to me if they want to know more.

I also offer Raindrop Technique and suggest that clients try a session at the start of flu season or if they have back pain. It's a perfect opportunity to explain about the benefits of essential oils! Raindrop can be a powerful advertisement for Young Living and I've had several people enroll as a result of how they felt afterwards.

Hope this is helpful.

For those who are interested in more information on creating and growing a Young Living business................
from Young Living Crown Diamond extraodinaire! (my emphasis!) Vicki Opfer.....

Susan's note: Vicki is such an inspiration to anyone who has contact with her so I felt moved to share this email that was posted on an online YLEO group today.

Hi Sarah and GreaterJoy Friends,

I would love to contribute some insight here...

People come into Young Living for many different reasons. Some just want to use the products. Some simply want to share with 1-2 friends. Some want to educate. Some want to retail the products. Some want to use the products in their health care practices. Some decide to take the next step and share in a more organized way to create either a small business, or a large business.

When I came into Young Living, I had an "allergy" to network marketing. After using the oils secretly for 2 years, I had 24 people who has "sneaked into my downline, against my wishes." At that point, I realized the profound healing available with this modality, and I began to have small sharing events with the people already in my group who wanted to share, also. 2 1/2 years later, I became the second Diamond in Young Living.

Interestingly, the bigger the classes became, the lower the number of enrollments. Today, I understand that sharing with others, and building a Young Living business is available to anyone who is willing to learn the concepts and the skills required. It is not about being certified, or being an expert. In fact, those can actually slow the growth of a business. Keep reading, and you'll discover why this is....

Harmony, Joy, and Abundance is a small book, with 2 CD's, that describes how to start talking to people about Young Living. It's available through Life Science Publishing (who publish and sell the desk reference). One CD is me reading the book, and the other is me offering a 30 minute introduction to Young Living oils and other products (not the business). That's a perfect place for people to get started in the sharing process! And this is perfect for people whose goal is simply to share with a few friends.

So that's the beginning of the story. The next step is to begin to have small duplicable events, which is described in great detail in "Heart Centered Sharing" which is a FREE Word file that may be published in 2012. I'd love to take credit for this file, but it truly is a culmination of 1,000's of events offered by courageous leaders in my own organization, as well as other organizations.

What is "duplication?" People, sharing with people, sharing with people. Why is "duplication" so important?

If we enroll 2 people a month, we feel pretty good. At the end of the year, we will have added 24 people to our organization. Maybe 25-30 if some of them share, also.

However, if, instead, we enroll 2 people a month for a year, and then help them enroll 2 people the next month, and then those 2 enroll 2, etc., at the end of the year, we would have 531,440 people in our organization. The difference is absolutely astounding, isn't it? This math is found in the "Business Model 2012" download below.

One model gives us addition, and the other gives us multiplication.

What is the difference?

Any way of sharing is always wonderful. However, if we can learn how to share in a profound, life-changing, and yet duplicable way, the results can be extraordinary.

So for those of you who are interested in either sharing with a few friends or building a substantial business (or anywhere in between), order and read Harmony, Joy, and Abundance first. It will give you an excellent foundation. You can order it http://www.lifesciencepublishers.com/
It's a tax deductible investment, and I think, including shipping, it will cost about $25-$30.

Next, read and re-read the following download, posted today, which is a short look at our business: http://tinyurl.com/YLBusinessModel2012 You will need to understand and integrate into your thinking the difference between addition and multiplication in order to create a way of sharing that will give you the results that you want.

Then, download Heart Centered Sharing - Summer 2011 at www.tinyurl.com/hcs-s-2011

This file is very long and detailed. You absolutely need to print it out, put it in a 3-ring binder, and go through it page by page. Otherwise, it's of little value as a Word file. Part 1 is beginning sharing. Part 2 is very detailed and contains a longer scripted outline for sharing at home or office events. You will need to make a copy of the outline, and make notes in the margins of your own experiences and stories. Make it yours.

Make a commitment to hold at least 1 small, duplicable event every month for 2 years - in addition to everything else you are doing with Young Living. It will take having 4-5 of these before you are truly comfortable with the model. The idea is to share and help people set up their accounts and order, have them come back with friends, and eventually, some of them will "launch" out of your events, and begin to have their own events. That's multiplication. You can't make anyone do anything. It must be their idea, which will happen when they watch you the first time, come back with friends a couple of times, and then say to themselves, "I can do this!"

As many of you know, regardless of upline, or downline, I'm dedicated to creating as much outreach as possible, during my lifetime, of Young Living's oils and other products. Together, we can change the world of health care. People all over the world can live longer, healthier, and happier lives.

I hope that you will let me know how our Heart Centered Sharing model is working for you.

Love,
Vicki

A few EO tips from Vicki Opfer.....................
Essential oils are plant concentrates and are safe, natural, non- toxic, and very, very rich in molecules that mimic the molecules our bodies use for repair and regeneration. They are a highly effective and economic way to enhance the overall health and wellness of our bodies, minds, and spirits.Some essential oils (such as eucalyptus) increase oxygen availability by over 20%, supporting oxygen-rich cells! So put your oils on and go for a walk or exercise! Our essential oil supplement, Longevity, contains essential oils with a rich history of promoting health and wellness. These oils are known to reduce the risks of heart attacks, strokes, and cancer. They help prevent aging and degeneration. And they help uplift our mood and enhance clarity of thought!Degeneration and disease have long been associated with inflammation in the body. Copaiba and ocotea are rich in beta-caryophyllene, which is the most powerful anti-inflammatory studied so far. They also both contain alpha-humalene, a rare molecule which has been studied for its ability to reduce swelling and inflammation. The people of Brazil take copaiba by the spoonful, so it has been time- tested. Stress Away contains both copaiba and ocotea.

End of bed-wetting.................
Hello All! I have read of one instance where a child was given the Omega Blues for general health and a welcome consequence was the immediate ceasing of the bed-wetting. The child would either wake up on his/her own and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night or be sound asleep and be dry until morning.
Hope this helps! Evagelia

Bladder infections/UTI's................
Hello Tish,
I have a history of re-occurring UTI's and I find that YL's Inner Defense always keeps me going. When it is at its worse I use the infection blend with Frankincense, Oregano and Thieves. Sometimes it works, and at other times it only helps. But with Inner Defense it seems to really do the trick. I would do both and definitely feel safe with oils even when pregnant.

Be well,
Doc Wah

Conception.........................
My naturopath is very hesitant to recommend this regimen for women who are out of balance hormonally and not looking to get pregnant because so many women end up pregnant since it balances the body's reproductive system. 6-20 drops of Progessence plus over carotid arteries and 10-20 drops of Sclaressence under the tongue per day. Can break that amount into 2 or 3 applications over the day. She's had wonderful success for moms trying to conceive too. Endocrine system must also be balanced so oils like Endoflex for thyroid and adrenals and Thyromin can be part of the equation.

Conception and birth really are a miracle, it goes to show you because so many things, hundreds if not thousands, have to be just right in the body chemically to conceive and then sustain to be able to carry that baby to term. God of wonders!

Blessings,
April

Bladder infections.......................
Hi Tisha.

When I had a bladder infection, I found that Young Living's K and B worked very well taken internally. Also, I found that Juniper oil placed over the bladder, followed with a warm-to-hot washcloth worked well on its own. I think if I were pregnant, I would feel comfortable taking either product.

Sincerely,
Gloria Little

A "course" in shingles.........................
Hello Essentially Ours Oilers,

Many of you may or may not be familiar with my upline in YL and dear friend Dr. LeAnne Deardeuff (author of two great books used by us in YL). She has had her share of health challenges, and is always a testimony of "If I didn't have YL, I wouldn't be alive!" And as a personal friend, I know that to be true. She has battled an ongoing challenge of shingles and pain. She would heal, and then stress would bring the shingles on again. She is healing and of course, often when we do a natural healing process, we heal in layers, and often will get worse before we get better. Since I have been reading about many things on the chat groups about neuropathy and shingles, and pain, I asked her could she share what she has been doing in a nut shell, as I have been following it all, but not written it all down. Below is her response:

Dear Quin,

Mayo Clinic said that Cayenne may kill the shingles. It said it did help with pain. So I use the Master Cleanse Juice through out the day with 1/2 tsp cayenne in it. It helps the pain and the itch for about 4 hours.

My singles formula is Gary's pain formula plus Spikenard and Melissa. Many of the oils are anti-inflammatory, and are also nervines meaning they assist nerves.

Here is Gary's Pain Formula I use...
20 drops Valerian
20 drops Vetiver
10 drops Helichrysum (sub Elmi or Palo Santo)
5 drops Clove
5 drops peppermint
10 drops Idaho Balsam Fir
Gary puts this in capsules and takes two full capsules of them as needed. I know that Greg Johnson couldn't have survived with out this formula when he slipped a disc in his back. I took it a drop at a time by mouth, put a drop under my nose and rubbed some on my neck when I had a broken neck. Within 20 minutes, I was pain free for about 2 hours then I repeated it.

For Shingles:
I added
10 drops Melissa
5 drops Spikenard

I take one drop at a time by mouth every minute until the pain subsides. I then start taking one drop every 15 minutes and for an hour then 1 drop an hour. I have made 4 recipes so far and the pain is getting less and less each day. I had pain all over my body since I had shingles all over my body including face, eyes, ears, arms and legs. (*note from Quin... amazing things happened when she added melissa and spikenard!)

I feed the nerves Calcium, Magnesium, Super B, Essential Fatty Acids like Omega Blues, Olive Oil, Evening Primrose etc. The shaking nerves are decreasing, the tension in my body is decreasing, the sharp knife like pains are decreasing.

Shingles is caused by low adrenal and low immune system allowing the chicken pox virus to activate due to stress. So to support those systems... Oysters, onions, garlic, and sweet potatoes along with Rehemogen and other immune oils assist the immune system.

Dr. LeAnne Dearduff

"The only thing that has given them relief".....................
Hi Julie,

Yes, I have had great success with 3 different people using the following recipe to support neuropathy:

2 oz. Regenolone

10 drops Lemongrass

10 drops Helichrysum

10 drops PanAway

I mix this all up in a glass 2 oz container and my clients apply to their feet when they have pain. They have reported that this is the only thing that has given them relief.

Kind regards,
Lorinda Walker, LM

C-section healing...............................
I had a c section in May 2010 I used Thieves Household Cleanser, about a capful with warm water and allowed it to run over the area. I also used lavender, Acceptance, Release, Forgiveness and lemon to bathe in until I healed. I had a minor issue and that healed in 3 days. I am a nurse and both myself and my visiting nurse where surprised, and I had no infection/complications following.
Rainey

Copaiba essential oil for asthma relief.................
A lady at a meeting in Denver in August said that she had been taking Copaiba in capsules and it relieved her asthma. Copaiba is 55% anti-inflamatory compounds.
Grace Hays

.....and....
Welcome, Melissa! Try frankincense and hyssop applied to feet and chest. This has worked for others. Hope it does for you too.
Mary Ann

Use YL Bath Gels - one person's experience..................
Hi Sheila,
I personally know several women who no longer have debilitating PMS symptoms because they started using the Dragon Time Bath Gel daily. Even though it is only on their skin for a short time, it still is able to have an amazing effect for them.

I know this is not your issue, but I just wanted to let you know of a health condition that was helped tremendously simply by using the soap (bath gel) daily in the shower. I would not doubt that it would work the same for other issues, because our oils are amazing, and they are in all the YL soaps and gels.

With kind regards,
Audrey Miller

Instead of nasal sprays........................
Hi Susanne, I have successfully used and had others use Basil along the outside of the nose (all of the sinus areas) in place of nasal spray. It is a great anti-inflammatory agent, so reduces the swelling of the nasal mucosa. I am guessing Copiaba could be used as well since it is now supposed to be the best anti-inflammatory oil (according to Gary Young). Either of them are pretty gentle to the skin and can be applied as frequently as needed. I have not used internally as a nose spray but would think it would work that way or put in a neti pot and try it. Addiction to Afrin is a hard one to eliminate because the overuse creates a rebound swelling and then people keep using it more often and therefore keep creating the problem, I have seen many patients do that.
Good luck.
Jeane

Tender Tush is a jewel of a product!.....................
...........and other suggestions for baby.........
Hi Rose,
Tender Tush! We've had such good luck with this product. While it may be more expensive than other products, we hardly have to use any at all. One application is all we usually have to do if we see any redness or soreness in the diaper area. By the next diaper change, the redness/sorenes is usually gone. We also used this on some excema spots and within three days those were gone.

I also love the KidScents lotion. With winter months coming up, skin can become dry. I love to use it on my skin as well.

For oils, in the diffuser I alternate R.C., Peace & Calming, Purification.

For birth, I used the blend of Claraderm + Frankincense as an annointing oil. This was also used on my baby's umbilical cord until it completely healed. I call it sprayable Myrrh oil.

Those would be my suggestions.

Congratulations.
Cheryl in Minnesota

YL Essential Bits 454

2011-10-29T15:05:00.001-05:00

Hello Everyone,
This Bits starts out with instructions for doing body wraps with YLEO's to help lose weight. Several years ago, I watched Gary Young demonstrate this wrap technique, and afterwards, the lucky lady who was receiving it, said it was heavenly---and that she felt thinner. Gary said that it is possible that some fat can broken down right away. So, just what the "doctor" ordered for keeping the Holidays under control!

Before placing your next YL order, be sure to check out the Holiday Catalogue on the YL website www.youngliving.com. There are many great gifts, including discounted oil sets. Also, this month Inner Defense (the MOST potent product for prevention of and healing from colds, flus, and other bugs) and Thieves Waterless Handcleaners (3 pk)(I never go out without them!) are FREE with a 190pv order. Great chance to stock up for the cold/flu season.

I am working with someone right now to purify the last bits of mercury from my body, and I find that Roman Chamomile is so excellent for calming nerves. I use it before bed and it is wonderful.

Hope this finds you all well, and happy.

Warmest regards,
Susan sent by Cristina

Weight-loss wraps using YLEO's......................
grapefruit thyme & veg oil rubbed in is dissolving fat (you can use V6). Crystal, deb & liz have all lost weight. They're doing it with a wrap - clear plastic (+ heating pad). & it dissolves or comes out in the bowels. 1oz veg oil 14 dr grapefruit, + 7 dr thyme- wrapped about 15 to 20 minutes. She is also drinking 1 oz NR/day and grapefruit oil.

....in addition.......
Hi Margo,
At a training session last November Gary gave a recipe for a body wrap to burn fat. He said the Ledum was what made the difference because they tried it without, too, and there didn't seem to be any results without the Ledum. Here it is:
30 Ledum
15 Grapefruit
10 Lemon
10 Lemongrass
10 Cypress
4 oz. V-6 oil
Wrap with aces, then Saran Wrap, then wrap up in blankets to drive oils in. Keep on for 1 hr. *HYDRATE with at least 16 oz. Master Cleanse lemonade before, and keep hydrated during wrap.
*Shrink wrap from Staples (etc.) works best because it's really wide

Have fun with your wrap and let us know how it goes!
Peace & Love,
Sally

.....more information for wraps..................
I've been experimenting on my own and here's the procedure that I am using with the oil recipe above. Layer the massage table with a tarp (silver lining up) [I got a 6 X9 ft one on sale for $5.99], a wool blanket, a bed sheet, and a thin plastic sheet (like the cheap drop cloth you can buy for painting for $1.00 at Dollar General & can be cut in half). Lie down on top of the plastic and have someone rub the oil blend all over your body (omitting the chest area). This includes legs, feet, arms, and hands. We used approximately an ounce of the mixture.

After the oil is applied, have the person bring the plastic tightly around you tucking it between your legs and between your arms and body. Then the sheet (wrapping it as if you were wrapping a baby in a receiving blanket). Next put a large hot towel over your body, then wrap the blanket around you and finally the tarp. Stay in this cocoon for 45 minutes to an hour. After you are unwrapped you will be wet from the fluid you have shed. It might be wise to wrap up in a dry sheet, towel or blanket to cool down for a while. I don't shower cause I want the oils to stay on my body as long as possible. I lost 16 overall body inches the first time. You need to drink lots of water because you really detox. I did this in the late evening and was up 4 times during the night to pee. Something that very unusual for me.

The next morning my husband said he could see a big difference in the way my body looked. I felt much better as well. I was having problems with my arms and hands waking me up because they were going numb. That didn't happen after the wrap.
Joy
P. S.
If you are planning on doing this for a fee, you might want to sponge the person down with scented water after the wrap. It would make them feel less sweaty when they leave. I think I'd use Cypress or lemongrass in water for this. To answer the questions about the body wraps as I do them: I used wet towels just like the RDT. A lot of the toxins are left on the plastic as you sweat. There is a lot of moisture on the plastic when you get up. The light sponge down with a diluted oil mixture helps to wipe away the toxins as well. I don't shower because I want to leave the oils on as long as possible.

Serious kidney trouble turned around.....................
K&B!
Hi Friends,
I have a friend who had trouble with his kidneys. The Dr. told him he was looking at dialysis in his future... He started taking K&B everyday... After that the Dr. said his kidneys were fine. The Dr. said he didn't know what he was doing and he didn't care what he was doing, but to just keep doing it.... It's been about 3 years now....

My friend takes the 5 half droppers in a few ounces of juice, I like pineapple the best. I think he takes it twice a day... That's all he does, and the Dr's are surprised that his tests have gotten better.

Recipe for severe, chronic pain...........................
Hi Susan,

My mother-in-law suffered from shingles and then neuropathy popped up. She is the biggest skeptic I know, so for her to order another container of that “amazing crème” (recipe below) from me, is a good sign that it works really well. I received an email from another YL person yesterday, thanking me for the recipe and telling me that she tried it that night and she was amazed that it worked immediately for her pain. Since I had a few people with neuropathy in my downline, I bought all of the ingredients myself and mixed up 4 containers. I figured out the price per drop of oil and divided the cost of the Regenolone by 4. I think it came out to around $30 for the container (including added essential oils), which is not too much to ask of someone who is in severe pain.

===============================================
Recipe-in-a-container for Chronic Pain
2 oz. Regenolone
10 drops Lemongrass
10 drops Helichrysum
10 drops PanAway

I mix this all up in a glass 2 oz container and my clients apply to their feet when they have pain. They have reported that this is the only thingt hat has given them relief.
================================================

Another thing I would recommend for any chronic pain condition is Raindrop. I do a lot of Raindrops as part of my massage practice and I am continually amazed with the relief people feel even after one session.

A tip for swelling...........................
Dear Sandy and group:
Fastest thing to take down swelling is MSM -- YL has Sulfurzyme. Sulfurzyme makes the cell membranes permeable so trapped fluids can escape.

For baby croup..........................
Hi Diane,

I'm not sure what causes croup, but I know we weren't offered antibiotics. I think they sent us home with a nebulizer, which we didn't use. So, I'm not too helpful with croup knowledge.

However, I found Oregano to be amazing when my daughter had croup. She got it several times when she was a baby, but Oregano knocked it out in under 48 hours. I diluted the oregano in a lot of olive oil or v6 and rubbed it all over her body- chest, back and feet especially. I rubbed her down about 3-5 times a day. I think I put some on every time I changed her diaper or changed her clothes. She certainly smelled aromatic, but she stopped coughing and was better quickly.

Good luck!
Rebecca

Hi Michelle,

I too am new to the group and am very excited to have joined. My newphew (5 y.o.) used to always get croup until my sister-in-law started using lemon and frankincense on his feet 2-3x daily. He hasn't had it since (he got it all the time and would get the shots to stop the coughing b/c he would cough so hard he'd throw up).

Good luck!

Preventing infection, and healing scar tissue................
I have a friend that had a C-section and she used Melrose to help the scar heal well and without infection. At the time she was very obese and her previous C-section had ended up with a nasty infection. Using the Melrose, her doc couldn't believe how well it all healed, with no problem!

Transitioning from this world....................
Hi Kelli~
Just had this experience coming alongside my mother as she passed from this earth. I had been using YL's Claraderm for her skin, and that it what I used up until the end. Also, Frankincense and Myrrh which are beautiful oils of the Bible. She smelled so wonderful, and I have a piece of linen cloth that I had on her that still has the aroma of those oils on it. Her passing from this life was so peaceful. The Lord was there. I had been spraying her skin for the past week, and her skin was like butter. Praying for you and your mother-in-law.

Help for peripheral neuropathy.......................
Julie:
I have peripheral neuropathy and Diabetes for 26 years. I have used YL's Regenolone for a few years. It instantly takes away pain when it starts up. I have a numbness off and on. If I wake up with pain or feel it, I put on the Regenolone and within a few min it disappears! Sometimes you need not use it more than once. I use less than a dime size.

Hope this helps,

Hi Julie,

Two of my friends had Neuropathy. One from the results of chemotherapy and one because of having chronic back problems.

Both of them got wonderful results from the pain by using Frankincense Oil.

My friend who had the problem because of chemotherapy treatments, said that sometimes the pain was completely gone and sometimes the pain was diminished to the point that she could have a wonderful night's sleep.

My other friend said that rubbing the Regenelone and Frankincense Oil completely gave him his feet back.

Love and Light,

Tummy ache tip...............................
Good Morning everyone!
I recently had a terrible tummy ache while at work and didn't have any veggie caps available. I remembered once hearing that you could take the oils via bread SO, I buttered a small piece of bread, added a couple of drops to DiGize to it, rolled it up and ate it. Didn't taste all that bad, and my tummy ache disappeared within minutes of ingesting!

Happy Oiling!

Help for damage done by children's vaccinations.................
Ledum is a homeopathic remedy that is for reactions to injections. A homeopath once told me the only shot he gave his son was Tetanus (they live out in the country) and he used Ledum to prevent problems afterward.

Sandie

Susan's note: Ledum essential oil has been used by Gary Young for years for liver purification, which would absolutely be needed in the case of vaccinations. (I suggest rubbing it on the infant/child's liver area, cut with V-6 Massage Oil.)

Dr. "K", a medical doctor from Australia whose name I can't pronounce, spellor find a t the moment, discovered that if he supplemented the Aboriginal children with Vitamin C, the death rate following vaccination was virtually eliminated. He used 100 mg per month of age. This was given on the day of vaccination.

There was a group of doctors in New York in the 1950's who recommended 1000 mg Vitamin C, 1000 mg calcium and 100 mg Vitamin B6. This was to be given the day before, the day of and the day after vaccination. They saw a reduction in many of the reactions.

Essential Science has a book (I've loaned out my copy so the title might not be exact) *What* *Your Doctor Might Not Tell You About Vaccinations* by Stephanie Cave MD. She has a recommendation on supplementation also. It includes Vitamin C and a few others that I can't recall. She also HIGHLY recommends that vaccinations be separated by one month. If the parents on't insist on this, there is a possibility of SIX shots on one visit. This depends on the combinations the doctor chooses to use, but this is more than I would give my child.

If I felt it necessary to vaccinate my child, I would supplement with Mega Cal and Ningxia Red Juice. The doses would have to be figured by the age of the child.
Jacke Myers

Super C™ not only contains 2,166% of the recommended dietary intake of vitamin C per serving, but it is also fortified with rutin, citrus bioflavonoids, and minerals to balance electrolytes and enhance the effectiveness and absorption of vitamin C. (Super C is in tablet form, and can be crushed to put in child's food or drink.)

My heart certainly goes out to you. I'm sure you are very concerned for your grandson. On one of the tapes by Mary Young she said that she had mercury poisoning (thimerosol is the preservative in the vaccinations and it is mercury). Mary said she used Idaho Balsam Fir to heal her from the head pains that she had from the mercury toxicity in her body. She took it in capsules. For a child I think I would diffuse it and put it on the feet. And on the tape "JuvaCleanse Your Liver" Gary said he used Ledum, Helichrysum and Celery to detox Mary from the mercury. There is a website: www.herbalhealer.com, that has a product that is specifically for detoxing vaccinations. You can get the information in their free catalog. Depending on which vaccines he got, you will need to observe for symptoms of vaccine injury. Such as MMR, leaky gut syndrome, gluten/caseine intolerance, which is caused by the live measles virus. DPT, diminished respiration, which leads to SIDS (vaccine-induced death). You can get more info from www.vaclib.org.

Best wishes to you, Deb

My grandson was vaccinated at age 7 months with the first barrage of bolus doses. Although delayed as long as 7 months, I couldn't get my daughter to educate herself at the time, 1999. He became constipated and impacted for a week afterwards. He had normal bowel elimination pattern previously. Since that time, he's not had normal bowel elimination. He's generally constipated for 3 days. Use of Di-Gize twice a day rubbed around his navel will help him to have a movement. He drinks water, eats fiber rich foods, prunes, etc. Next, I'll try Detoxzyme on him! One young dad recently said to me it's just so much easier to give in than to fight the doctors on this issue. You can believe I loaded him up with information!

Grammy love, Celeste

I would suggest a very gentle liver detox for the baby. Use the suggestions in the Essential Oil Desk Reference book, but dilute. My gut feeling ist elling me a nice after bath body massage with warmed olive oil or V-6 Massage Oil, and a few drops of Geranium might really help clean out his little system. Or use JuvaFlex as another choice.

"Yet another great miraculous testimonial"..........................

Hello

I had a blood clot and was put on coumadin and that other awful drug where they give you shots in your stomach. I forgot the name. Of course I could not stand the coumadin at all!! But blood clots can be deadly if even a little piece falls away it can go straight to the lungs and the next second someone could die. It happened to a friend of mine's sister. I decided to try using the oils in an experiment. The doctors would blood test me every single morning. They do NOT mess around with blood clots at all. I put 2 drops of each of the following oils in a little shot glass with an inch or so of water and drank it twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the early evening.

2 drops of helichrysum
2 drops of cistus
2 drops of clove
2 drops of lavender
2 drops of lemon

There are other oils listed in the EODR book but these are the ones I used. After my first oils treatment, when they checked my blood I did not need the coumadin (THANK GOD!!!) So I tried it the next day same thing, I did not need to take the coumadin. The 3rd day I decided to make sure it was the oils working so I did not take them and they tested my blood and I needed the coumadin. I had them baffled completely. They could not figure me out. I of course did not tell them I was taking the oils internally. They kept saying to me that they had ever seen anybody's blood viscosity levels change so much back and forth :). So I of course kept going with my oil treatments. The doctor had said to me I would probably have to be on coumadin for about a year to 1 1/2 years. I thought NO WAY!!!!! So a few weeks later I asked if we could check early on to see if it had gone away so i could completely get off the coumadin and that shot in my stomach. They sent the head of the department that checks you out with an ultra sound machine where the blood clot was. I said to him, you are not going to find anything when you go to look. He then said to me, "look, I have been doing these ultrasounds for 22 years in this hospital and I have NEVER once seen a blood clot go completely away. He said there is always a remnant, scar tissue or even part of the clot still there. I said to him again, you will not find anything. so he got his whole gizmo machine set up and started to move it up and down my arm area where the clot was. and he kept readjusting his controls and all. I said you are not finding anything are you? He did not answer me he just kept going up and down my arm and looking and looking and he started to nod his head in disbelief and said " I have never ever seen this before but there is nothing there". It was then I said " well I guess my essential oils I was using for blood clots really worked", and he did not say anything to me about them or ask anything he just cleaned up his ultra sound machine and wheeled it out of my room all the while nodding his head in disbelief!!

That day every nurse that came to my room said to me that he walked out to talk to the nurses still nodding his head to them in disbelief mumbling he had never seen this in all his years there. And I never had to take coumadin again THANK GOD!!!!

But whoever may use this testimonial to share with others, PLEASE LEASE make sure you get the daily blood tests because this is seriously nothing to mess around with.

Yet another great miraculous testimonial

Blessings
Julie Chertow

Hi Oilers,
Some years ago a wonderful MD helped me get off Coumadin. By repeated Pro-Time tests we learned that ONE DROP of Oil of Cloves per day keeps my blood perfect. I am so glad since Cloves only normalizes the blood and poses no threat of hemorrhage.

Another amazing use of YLEO's!
Child went from not reading to making the honor roll.................

Hi Sue,

We had a very interesting experience in our house a few years ago. My son was eight and could barely read. I believe he had suffered damage from the vaccines he received. So to try and pull the heavy metals out of him I started to apply RutaVaLa, valarian, vetivier, and JuvaCleanse along his spine at least twice a day, a few drops of each. Amazingly, after a few weeks of this he developed a red spot on his upper arm where he had been given the vaccines as an infant. The spot keep getting bigger and then it started to ooze. Not very pretty. I took him to the doctor and they confirmed it wasn't a bite or a wound. When I used a lot of oils it would grow when I stopped the oils it would shrink. I was pretty convinced of the connection so I kept it up. One day the spot began to shrink and never came back. By that time we had started to use Frankincense as well, and then Sacred Frankincense. Not only is he a good reader now, but hemade the Honor Roll last year. Was it heavy metals coming out of his arm??? Whatever it was, I am glad that it is gone now.

We just started the whole family on the Essentialzymes-4 and my kids take Omega Blue for focus, too. I see a huge improvement in behavior as well as focus.

I hope this helps,
Carrie Donegan

One reason to use YL's Bar Soaps and Bath Gels........................

Hello Oilers,

We are a retired couple and money is tight so I would like to ask why I should use YL soaps and shower gels over soaps and shower gels that I can buy at Whole Foods type stores or my buying club? I understand shampoos and especially conditioners because I leave the conditioner on for a long time while I wash the rest of me and even shave sometimes (!) but the soap or shower gel is on our skin such a short time that I wonder how much good they can do to my skin in that short a time. Of course the soaps I choose are always free of SLS and parebens, so what
difference does it make?
Sheila

Hi Sheila,

I personally know several women who no longer have debilitating PMS symptoms because they started using the Dragon Time Bath Gel daily. Even though it is only on their skin for a short time, it still is able to have an amazing effect for them.

I know this is not your issue, but I just wanted to let you know of a health condition that was helped tremendously simply by using the soap (bath gel) daily in the shower. I would not doubt that it would work the same for other issues, because our oils are amazing, and that they are not in the soaps and gels from other places.

With kind regards,
Audrey Miller

Amazing recovery!............................................

Hello Oilers,

I got a call this week that my mother was in the hospital and my siblings who were with her told me she had gotten the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, also known as last rights. (We're Catholic) I drove the 3.5 hours home and saw my precious mom struggling to breathe from a plural effusion and pneumonia. Doctors said there was nothing else they could do for her. We
thought every breath was her last. I got out my Sacred Frankincense, myrrh, and White Angelica. If you have it, Release blend is also one I have known folks to use. It allows the patient and family let go.

In the case of my mother, my sisters and I have anointed her almost every hour for the last 7 days! She IS in hospice but has miraculously made a rebound. She no longer has a fever, is breathing more comfortably, and is going 6-7 hours without pain meds...she was on them every hour by IV! Do the oils have anything to do with it??? It depends on who you ask!! But I certainly think so! We are now applying Thieves, Raven and other oils directly to her lower lung lobe to rid her of her infection. I've never seen anyone so close to death! And she is now talking when she couldn't before.

Thanks for letting me share and God bless your mother in law on her journey,
Francesca in Ohio

FRANKINCENSE essential oil

Cancer information from Young Living's Health Symposium................
In Utah at the Health Symposium, Dr. Lin, University of Oklahama, mentioned that he would do this Frankincense protocol if he was diagnosed with cancer. Taking Sacred Frankincense 3 times a day for 28 days and then have the doctor recheck before starting chemo or radiation.
Catherine

.....in addition.........
Hi Peggy and all,

I had an opportunity to speak with Dr. Lin directly about this as it was a bit unclear to me in his presentation. We happened to be on line together at the hotel's front desk and he wrote this down for me so there was no misunderstanding:

For breast cancer: .2 -.5 ML/kg of body weight per day. So here is an example based on a woman of 130 pounds:

1 Pound = 0.45359237 Kilograms

130 pounds= 58.96 kg

58.96 kg x .2 ML= 11.79 ML of sacred frank per day.

In the example he gave, a female breast cancer patient was nearly cancer free after one month on this protocol, taking 7.5 ML per day.

Hope this help.

a Note from Teri Secrest, YL Diamond: Frankincense Reduces Inflammation

Thanks to Young Living Essential Oils, Frankincense is now available in the West where the need for it has never been greater: Frankincense fights chronic inflammation, which an increasing number of medical researchers believe is the root cause of many diseases (i.e. heart disease, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and Alzheimer's.

And the #1 cause of chronic inflammation? Stress..... Whether it's mental, physical or emotional, intense chronic stress causes the adrenal glands to work overtime, leading to chronic inflammation.

D. Gary Young believes Frankincense has the potential to be the #1 antidote for chronic inflammation. At Young Living's 2010 International Grand Convention, he stated that Frankincense's chemical compounds have as much anti-inflammatory properties as steroids - without the side effects. In addition to its action on the physical body, Frankincense also calms the mind and emotions, reducing all sources of stress. Dr. Joseph Mercola, author of the #1 natural health website writes, "I have seen Boswella (frankincense) work well with my rheumatoid arthritis patients. In one study of 176 patients with rheumatic disorders, 122 participants had reduced stiffness and inflamation just two to four weeks after starting on the frankincense.

Mankind's First Medicine
Essential Oils are often referred to as "Mankind's First Medicine". In fact, there are more than 200 references to aromatics, incense, and ointments throughout the Old and New Testaments of the Bible (36 of the 39 books of the Old Testament and 10 of the 27 books of the New Testament mention essential oils or the plants that produce them.) Frankincense is the most often essential oil mentioned in the bible.
Susan's note: As well as Frankincense, YL also distills and distributes, Sacred Frankincense from Oman.

I used Frankincense, and it worked on skin tags, keratosis, warts, sun spots! It has also worked on eye floaters and eye wrinkles -- as well as getting rid of a nasty scar on my face from an automobile accident 40 years ago!!!

BEST WISHES

Have a blessed day,
Linda

The Healing Power of Basil: Depression and More
By Cait Johnson, inspired by Aromatherapy for Everyone, by P.J. Pierson and Mary Shipley (Vital Health Publishing, 2004).

Even though the sun is shining brightly, we can still suffer occasional bouts of depression. But this essential oil, derived from a well-known cooking herb, will really help! Not only can it lift our mood, it also relieves stress and headaches, and is reputed to improve concentration. In fact, its powers are so great, the Hindus believed it was a passport to heaven and its very name means “king.”

Find out how to use the essential oil of basil to experience relief from some of life’s ills:

For relief of depression, anxiety and stress: Use 2 or 3 drops in a diffuser. You could also add 2 or 3 drops to one ounce of carrier oil and use as a body massage oil.

To improve concentration: Put 2 or 3 drops in a diffuser.

For headaches: Put 2 or 3 drops on a hot or cold compress (depending on preference).

Success with Parkinson's using Raindrop Technique plus.............
Dear Group,
I met the family of the Austrian man who so dramatically recovered from Parkinson's using RDT and they said that they also used Valor, Frankincense and RutaVaLa on his feet every morning.

Lavender - the" Universal Healing Oil".............................
Hi Kenneth! If it were me I'd give lavender a try! I use it neat when I've scalded my mouth on something hot and it works very well, just as it does externally for burns. It does have to be reapplied as needed. Doesn't taste too bad either!! You might have your friend give it a whirl to see if it helps the discomfort of this condition!

Lavender is referred to as the "UNIVERSAL HEALING OIL" and lives up to it with many fine properties: balancing, antiseptic (effective for flu), bronchitis & pneumonia, anti-fungal, used for burns & other skin conditions, relieves tension and pain, soothes insect bites & strings, repels lice, helpful for colic, irritable bowel, menstrual pain, muscular stiffness & aching, cellulite, can be considered a rescue remedy easing nervous tension, decreasing panic feelings, lifts sadness & depression, calms & stabilizes the mind & heart bringing a sense of equilibrium.

"The healing power of YLEO's is unparralleled............................
Hello Christine,

It is really hard to listen to the medical doctors and to make a decision that goes against what they recommend. However, I will fill in some details of my own experience. I am the person that Stanlee (email directly after this) wrote about - the one who fractured her lumber vertebra (L2) in two places with 30% compression last June while joyfully doing stunts on a trampoline. I am 68 years old, so rapid healing is not normally expected. In fact, my daughter a Registered Nurse sat in on all the consultations with the medical doctors, and she told me in September that there was great concern as to whether I would ever walk again.

The injury occurred the afternoon of June 21. Immediately after the injury, LAVENDER essential oil and then the RAINDROP TECHNIQUE COLLECTION oils were applied along with FRANKINCENSE, HELICHRYSUM, COPAIBA, DORADO AZUL, and anything else that was handy. I was hospitalized for 8 days while arrangements were made to provide care for me at Nova Vita Clinic in Ecuador. (I could not be transported daily, and they normally do not have patients reside there.)

During the time in the hospital, the Raindrop oils were applied twice daily with focus upon the lumbar region. Approximately every two hours, I layered BELIEVE, COPAIBA, PANAWAY, and DEEP RELIEF. Never was there any pain medication necessary.

Once I arrived at Nova Vita, SACRED FRANKINCENSE was administered intravenously, and I continued having the Raindrop oils twice daily and the other oils every few hours.

Saturday, July 2 was the “big day” when Sacred Frankincense was injected directly into my fractured vertebra on both sides. The healing that occurred in the days following was absolutely astounding. The pain level dropped dramatically, and I became stronger daily. Sacred Frankincense intravenously and Raindrop oils twice daily along with the others oils that I layered every few hours rounded out the treatment along with supplements and NingXia Red. There was one Thieves IV as well and the normal clinic cleansing routine.

Because I live in Singapore and had to travel 38 hours by plane, there was some concern about how I would manage to get home. I felt I was physically ready to leave the clinic only 3 weeks after the injury, but it took a little longer before I could get a flight back. Therefore, I left Nova Vita exactly 4 weeks after the injury and shocked my friend at the airport in Singapore when I rolled my luggage out to meet her!

I literally have no pain and even made the trip to Orlando - another 30 hours of travel each way. The healing power of Sacred Frankincense and the other oils is unparalleled. My activities are unrestricted although I have been banned from the trampoline for life!

Surgery can always be performed at a later time. However, surgery can NEVER be “un-done”.
Frances Fuller

.....in addition.................
Gary Young broke his back at least 2 times, I'm aware of, and recovered with the oils. In the most recent treatment, he injected Frankincense into this spine to regenerate the disc that were destroyed over time.

I saw this treatment done in the clinic to a distributor who broke her tailbone, which may be the L1 or L2 or both (not sure) and she was up and absolutely normal at the YL Clinic in Orlando. The injury occurred in June and I saw her in Orlando in September and her back is perfect ! !

She jumped on a trampoline and was having lots of fun at the Master Leader's Retreat in Ecuador in June and felt the snap in her back. She was transported to a wonderful hospital there and they wanted to do surgery and put her in a brace for months. Gary had her transported to the Nova Vita Clinic (Young Living Clinic) and had the Frankincense injection administered. Her injury and injection happened in June during the Master Leaders Retreat in Ecuador.

Knowing that we have our YLEO's for healing is the miracle.

Blessings,
Stanlee Palmisano

Hormone balance via 2 Young Living products.....................
Hi Stacia & friends,

I benefited completely from Progessence Plus for the first 14 months then I started to gain weight. My understanding is that hormones are processed and stored in fat so if we don't need it the body will retain it until we do. I was using 4 drops two times a day.

Then for one full month I stopped all together. I was nervous that my negative issues would return, but actually they did not. I believe my body was releasing the stored progesterone. After about one month I did start to see some of the negative effects of low progesterone return.

Now I use it only once, twice a week and both my mood & weight are level, my skin is clear, energy high, and I have no PMS and no menopausal symptoms. I do also take PD 80/20 twice a week (Wed & Sun). I use the Progessence Plus on Tuesday and Saturday.

Best wishes in finding your balance!

Everyone needs enzymes - Gary Young.................
Hi Todd from St Charles, I lost my gall bladder years ago. Dr never told me anything about diet after. I was in health food store listening to class and the instructor said if any of you have had your gall bladder removed you would need to take enzymes for the rest of your life. Well how perfect shortly after I was introduced to Young Living. I have taken them all from YL but esp. essentialzyme and detoxzyme and the new ones are the best ever. Essential 4 and the new essentialzyme and I still take 4 or 5 detoxzyme b4 bed. You will notice the difference immediately. Everyone needs them per Gary if you read the notes from the convention 2011.

Subtitle: NingXia Red reigns!

This morning I had a migraine. Took a shot of NingXia and within a couple minutes the aura was gone. Wow! I couldn't believe it. It was great!!! I've never taken anything that worked that fast. I need to pass this news around. God bless.

Alice (inspiring new person)

Wowzer, Joyce! I would not have thought of that! Thanks for the testimonial!
Susan (me)

Yeah, me neither! The enthusiasm of new people really is inspiring! ALWAYS tell my people at nearly every meeting - If you don't have what you need, use what you have. Because I know so many of them do not have a lot of products or oils. I am so proud of her for thinking to try the NingXia Red!

"I was introduced to YL products and I have not looked back".......from a sufferer of Bi-Polar disorder...................
Like millions of Americans I suffer from bi-polar disorder, otherwise known as manic depression. For over a decade now I have taken many of the latest medications used to stabilize mood swings. I continue to take these medicines and will do so in the future as they help a great deal. However, these pills do not cure the disease nor do they create a sense of joy or well being.

Several months ago my masseuse, an essential oil distributor, introduced me to Young Living products and I have not looked back. My depressions have lessened and my sense of self has been dramatically improved. There is now a joy in living that I have not felt in years. I am still experimenting with different oils but have found some constants already. I use Joy, Peace and Calming, Valor, Ylang Ylang, SARA, Lavender, and now I have added Frankincense, Rosewood and Brain Power (an especially effective oil). I rub them on the bottom of my feet, on my neck, on my chest, and inhale them with the diffuser. I should add that my wife now uses essential oils and is completely sold on them.

Recently I published a book on manic depressive disorder and should there be a second edition I will add a chapter on essential oils. They have brought me to a new level of health and well being and I look forward to sharing these experiences with others.

Help for menopausal issues...........................
Dear Oilers-
Important information I learned from Dr. Dan Purser (progesterone expert) at last week's YL convention, concerning women's issues.....dry eyes, dry skin, dry other areas.... especially in post-menopausal women.....take 2 drops of Progessence Plus Serum on the carotid arteries, before bed; 3-4 drops of clary sage in a capsule before bed, and take 1 Endogize, 3x a week. I wear contact lenses and have been having lots of problems due to very dry eyes, since going through menopause. After 3 days of using the progessence plus serum and clary sage, dry eyes are totally gone....contacts feel as they should(shouldn't know they're there). Haven't even started the endogize yet. I also use Frankincense and Patchoully around my eyes for wrinkles.....age 57 and have almost no wrinkles. Hope some of this helps.

Omega Blue for "amazing results" with eczema..................
Dear friends,

Before I left for the YL Convention last week, my daughter got a horrible red blister on her chest. I took her to see her pediatrician, who runs a wonderful place called the Whole Child Center. He is very supportive of my use of Young Living and has always given me great advice.

As it turned out, the blister was an infected spider bite--about the size of a quarter. In 3 days it was almost gone using myrrh & lavender. Once it formed a scab I switched to frankincense and it is healing beautifully.

Since we were there, I mentioned a cough that had also developed and he said not to worry about it--I came home and gave her Dorado Azul and Eucalyptus Blue and it is much improved.

The most incredible thing, however, was his advice for what has been "diagnosed" as eczema on her big toe nails. We have been fighting it for two years now. He suggested high doses of Omegas so I started to give her 3 Omega Blue 3 times a day. The results have been amazing. I wanted to share this with anyone who suffers from eczema because it is an incredible improvement in a small amount of time.

This Convention I learned I have to give the new Essentialzyme-4 to everyone in our family now, too. I do give them fenzymes rom time to time, but I am going to be more committed to it now. They are really one of the keys to good health.

I hope that anyone who suffers any of the above finds relief.

Best wishes,
Carrie Donegan

Eliminate eye floaters--every time!...............................
Hello,
I have had experience with eye floaters, and their elimination.

Whenever I start to get issues with floaters in my eyes, I put Frankincense around the eyes (raccoon-style, never too close) each morning and evening.

EVERY TIME, the floaters are gone within 3 days.

After a while, I'll forget the routine, and a few months later, I'm annoyed with floaters again. Then, the Frankincense takes care of them, always within about 3 days.

I've done this so many times over the years, it is beyond coincidence. For me at least, Frankincense gets rid of floaters 100% of the time.

Happy oiling,
Jana

Dear Oilers:

I use Frankincense for vision improvement, and wrinkle prevention (eliminated in the past). My prescription is less than 1/3 what it was 7-8 years ago, and I don't always even need them. When dehydrated, or sick or reading a lot I use them, o/w not. Told that by my doc. And don't own readers either! And I am 60!

And, now that it is brought to my awareness, I remember having had floaters starting 30 years ago. But not now. Frankincense apparently took care of that too! Unlike pharmaceuticals, the side effects are all good!

Sandie

Dear Group- definitely frankincense for these- it was shared in earlier mail & I made a note because I get them. As I'm an artist it's important to keep my vision clear. Try applying the oil straight, but sparingly, just outside & completely around the bony ridge of the eye socket. My floaters diminish or vanish in a day or two- I don't even need to keep up applications.
In Health, Kathleen

.......and.Frankincense eliminates crows feet........
Dear Vera and Oilers:
Frankincense is great for the eyes, but I would take a drop and rim the Eye Socket raccoon-eye style. Actually I regularly do that, having begun it to eliminate emerging crows feet--now gone. NO eye wrinkles at 60, and multiple people are amazed. Told they know it wasn't plastic surgery (common in that community), and just can't imagine how I look so young. Anyway, it also improved my vision so don't intend to quit for both reasons!

Do NOT put any oil near the eyelid edges. My friend found that looking down and letting the fumes waft up into her open eyes helped her dry eyes. She may have had floaters too, don't remember, but certainly did help her.
Sandie

.....with instructions..................
Vera,
When I started with YL, I had read of people getting rid of floaters by using Frankincense around the eye (socket).

My personal experience was to use full strength Frankincense on the boney edge of the eye socket one or more times a day. My longstanding (at least 25 years) floaters disappeared in a few weeks. Occasionally now I get 1-2 and a day or two of Frankincense again gets rid of them.

Be careful about getting the oil too close to the upper eyelids. Remember that when the eyelid opens, the upper lid is very close to the bone and CAN pick up oil which then gets in the eye. (It just stings for a few minutes.) Care and common sense in all things...

Best wishes,
Carol Faust

Boy Scouts and oils..................................
Dear Oilers,
Cute story- Rick (Dad) and Spencer (age 8) went to a day camp for Boy Scouts. They had a list of items to identify in the campsite, and then moved on to items you'd find in a first aid kit. Someone said, " Bandaids." Yes! Another said, "Scissors". "Yes!" Spencer raised his hand, and when called on, he said "Oils"! The response was, "Oils? What kind of oil?"

You see it is easy to teach at an early age. When Spencer gets sick, he says, "I wish my Grandma was here. Call her and see what kind of oils will make me better!" Love those oils. Grandkids do too. Another grandson asks for Thieves Spray for gifts. He carries a bottle in his pocket.

YLEO's - "The Gift that keeps on giving"........................
Hi Beth,

That is great advice that I will use for myself!! Thank you for sharing!! I have been doing Gary's Great Day Protocol since I became a member and within a very short time, people were amazed at how different I was. Guess, I really needed it but was so very thankful to have been introduced to YL when I was!!! Even my doctor, or many years, noticed the change and told me that I could eventually wean myself off of Zoloft that I had taken for many years. I tried to do it much too quickly and the results were not at all positive. I do everything you mentioned in the protocol except I put about 6 drops of valor on my feet. I know you can put it on the wrists, as well, but I feel I am getting more bang for the buck doing it this way!!!

I have to tell you, and all the other wonderful Greater Joy participants, that I have had several conditions reversed thanks to YL, osteoporosis, migraines and fibroids and greatest of all, the depression!!!! I just turned 65 and didn't feel this good when I was 16 years old!!! The Balance Complete is one of my favorite products and that, along with Curves, has enabled me to wear a dress, to a wedding, that is 15 years old and have not been able to wear for many years. Thank goodness dress clothes never go out of style!!

I LOVE YOUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS AND FEEL IT IS LIKE A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING!!!!

Blessings to you all!!!!
Sue

Gary Young's Great Day Protocol

Start each day with Garyâ€™s simple routineand discover how happy and confident you feel!Place one drop of Valor on the inside of your left wrist. Hold the inside of your right wrist to your left wrist for a few minutes. This step balances the body. Apply a drop of Harmony to your solar plexus (the area just above your belly button) to calm your mind and promote positive feelings. Apply one drop of Joy to the area above your heart. This step helps bring happiness to your mind and body.Place a single drop of White Angelica in the palm of your hand and rub your hands together. Lightly brush both hands over your head, face, shoulders, chest, and down the rest of your body as though applying an angelic shield.

Best wishes for your daughter's recovery,
Beth Glass

Getting off anti-depressants with YLEO help.................
(if doing this, be sure to ramp down slowly, and ask for help) When I got off of Celexa I used Peace & Calming & Joy for my issues for three days, I remember feeling such rage & anger & after I applied P&C, it calmed everything down:-) I put a drop on my ear according to the chart in EODR & my foot as well. The Joy helped with the massive amount of depression I felt the first couple of days.

Hope this helps:-)

NEW OILS INTRODUCED & THEIR USES

I am quite excited that several oils that I especially love, and which were previously only available through Gary Young’s “Creer Labs,” have now been moved into our regular Young Living line.

So, let’s introduce them:

ANGELICA ESSENTIAL OIL – 5 mL

Angelica oil has soothing qualities that help relax nerves and muscles. In Germany, angelica was historically referred to as the “oil of angels,” in part because of its ability to calm anxiety, restore happy memories, and bring peaceful sleep. Traditional medicine practitioners used angelica as a stimulant, digestive tonic, and expectorant.

Dietary: Dilute one drop with V-6™ Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex or other vegetable oil (e.g., virgin coconut, olive, almond). Put in a capsule and take up to three times daily or as needed.
Topical: Dilute one drop with V-6 or other vegetable oil; apply to desired area.
Aromatic: Diffuse up to 30 minutes three times daily. Avoid direct sunlight for up to 12 hours after applying product. [This is one of the oils, like many of the citrus oils, that can cause a photosynthesis reaction when exposed to direct sunlight.]

Code 3078 Wholesale: $29.75 Retail: $39.14

BLUE CYPRESS ESSENTIAL OIL – 5 mL

Blue cypress essential oil is steam distilled from the wood of the tree, which is indigenous to Australia. It has a wide variety of traditional uses, which include supporting the body’s natural response to irritation and injury as well as aiding normal breathing. Its medical properties are: anti-inflammatory, antiviral. (According to the internet, it is useful with arthritis and asthma). The EODR additionally states it is useful for viral infections, such as Herpex simplex, herpex zoster, cold sores, HPV etc..

Topical: Apply 2–4 drops directly to desired area. Dilution not required except for the most sensitive skin. Can also apply on chakras andor VitaFlex points.
Aromatic: Diffuse up to one hour three times daily, and/or inhale directly.

Code 3083 Wholesale: $27.50 Retail: $36.18

BLUE TANSY ESSENTIAL OIL – 5 mL

Blue tansy essential oil is steam distilled from the flowering plant and has a slightly sweet, herbaceous aroma. It is rich in sesquiterpenes similar to those found in German chamomile, and has a vivid deep blue color due to its azulene content. Not to be confused with Tansy oil, Blue Tansy Oil is non-toxic.

The aroma of Blue Tansy oil induces relaxation and can be used to ease nervous tension and stress. It is said to be beneficial for allergies, and may also quite useful for asthma/respiratory support.

Blue Tansy essential oil is considered by aromatherapists to be an important oil for burned, inflamed and damaged skin, sunburns and bruises. There was a recipe online for an excellent blend for where skin is actually damaged:10ml of Sesame Oil with 10 drops helichrysum essential oil and 6 drops Blue tansy. Like other “blue” oils, is used for sore muscles, sprains and strains, arthritis, rheumatism, and sciatica.

Topical: Apply 2–4 drops directly to desired area.
Aromatic: Diffuse up to one hour three times daily. Very effective when inhaled; can even put drops on handkerchief & inhale.

Code 3084 Wholesale: $29.75 Retail: $39.14

CARDAMOM ESSENTIAL OIL – 5 mL

Cardamom essential oil is a member of the ginger family of botanical plants. Cardamom’s aroma is well rooted is history. It was one of the scents used in ancient Egypt for perfumes as well as spirit-revering incenses.

Historical uses: internal consumption to protect the stomach/enhance digestion. After ingesting, give yourself a relaxing stomach massage. Cardamom oil is also a very helpful fragrance to calm stress and mental worry. You can diffuse, or carry a vial with you to inhale, when your mind needs settling, or to help with “butterflies in the stomach” that are sometimes the result of stress or fear.

This oil also has expectorant properties, reflecting cardamom’s use in Ayurvedic medicine for lung health. In “Aromatherapy for Healing the Spirit,” Gabriel Mojay notes that cardamom oil can stimulate the vital energy (Qi) of the lungs and is especially beneficial when coughing or bronchial mucus is the result of digestive weakness. One of the best ways to use cardamom for bronchial support is to add a few drops to a basin filled with hot water and do a steam inhalation for several minutes.

Cardamom’s exotic fragrance is also said to have aphrodisiac properties. Mix a few drops with water in a mister bottle and use as a room spray, or spritz some of this aromatic mixture onto your bed linens. You could also add it to some unscented body oil and use for an enchanting couple’s massage.

[I also wonder if one could use the essential oil in foods and beverages. The green variety is used to flavor some teas & coffees and the black variety is used in Indian dishes. Perhaps I’ll experiment! Joy]

Dietary: Dilute one drop with V-6™ Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex or other vegetable oil (e.g., virgin coconut, olive, almond). Put in a capsule and take up to three times daily or as needed.
Topical: Dilute one drop with V-6 or other vegetable oil; apply to desired area
Aromatic: Diffuse up to 30 minutes three times daily.

Code 3080 Wholesale: $19.75 Retail: $25.99

CARROT SEED ESSENTIAL OIL – 5 mL

Carrot Seed Essential Oil has a mildly sweet aroma with earthy, herbaceous hints. Traditionally, it has been used for digestive complaints due to its tonic properties. This oil also has historical use in aromatherapy for joint conditions.

Dietary: Dilute two drops in a capsule. Take three times daily or as needed.
Topical: Apply 2–4 drops directly to desired area. Dilution not required except for the most sensitive skin.
Aromatic: Diffuse up to one hour three times daily. Keep out of reach of children.

Code 3081 Wholesale: $18.75 Retail: $24.67

CELERY SEED ESSENTIAL OIL – 15 mL

I researched this one on the internet, as there was little in our product description. I was AMAZED! Who knew this simple mild plant product provided so much!

It is claimed that Celery Seed Oil is known for its medicinal properties, with such benefits as:
- Prevention of colds and flu
- Promotion of digestion and prevention of constipation
- Prevention of diseases related to the liver and spleen [we know this to be true because it is in the formula for our “Juva” products, which are to support & cleanse the liver.]
- Prevention of various forms of arthritis

Additional benefits listed were:

* Potent anti-cancer agent. It helps nullify the effect of the free radicals that are formed in the body as a by-product of various chemical reactions. These free radicals can lead to initiation of a chain reaction in the body, and ultimately cancer. Celery seed oil detoxifies the body of these free radicals, thereby reducing the risk of cancer.
* Good diuretic. It promotes the passage of waste materials in urine, thereby cleansing the body. Hence, celery seed oil also helps prevent infections of the urinary tract.
* Excellent expectorant. It helps clear up the phlegm in the nasal and respiratory tracts. Also, celery seed essential oil helps alleviate symptoms of bronchitis. Celery seed oil also helps relieve other conditions related to the respiratory tract such as asthma.
* Beneficial in the treatment of rheumatic arthritis.
* Has powerful antispasmodic properties. It helps relieve spasms of the stomach. Also, celery seed essential oil is an anthelmintic; it helps relieve helminthes and worms in the stomach.
* Nervous System - Is widely used to treat problems related to the nervous system. Its sedative properties help relieve stress, tension, and depression. It is also a mood enhancer, making you feel elated and alert.
* Aphrodisiac properties - is used by aromatherapists to promote sexual desire.
* Tonic and stimulant; thus, it helps maintain the overall physiology of the human body.
* Used in the manufacture of soaps and perfumes.
* Used as a flavoring agent in various culinary preparations.

I think this goes on my next order!!

Code 3082 Wholesale: $24.75 Retail: $32.57

CITRONELLA ESSENTIAL OIL – 15 mL

Citronella essential oil is popularly used as an insect deterrent. Traditionally it has also been used to prevent food spoilage due to fungus and bacteria. And the list of benefits I Googled were extensive:

Anti Bacterial: Some of the components, like methyl isoeugenol & others kill bacteria and inhibit bacterial growth in the body – helpful in treating infections in wound, colon, urethra, urinary bladder, stomach, intestines, urinary tracts, prostate, and kidneys.
Anti Depressant: Fights depression. relieves anxiety, sadness, negative feelings.
Antiseptic: Fights infections in the wounds, urinary tracts, urethra, prostrate and kidneys etc.
Anti Spasmodic: It relieves spasms of the muscles, respiratory system and the nervous system. It also helps cure menstrual spasm and gives relief from symptoms such as cramp, coughs etc.
Anti Inflammatory: It sedates inflammations. Particularly those pertaining to the liver, stomach, intestines and other parts of the digestive system. The inflammations caused by side effects of drugs, excessive use of alcohol or narcotics, hard & spicy food. Deodorant, Diuretic, Fungicidal, Insect Repellant (especially effective on mosquito which causes Yellow Fever; effective on lice, fleas, etc)
Stomachic: The use of this oil frees stomach from infections and other problems and helps it function properly stimulates blood circulation, Immune System, and Metabolism Vermifuge: Kills intestinal worms. It should be administered in mild doses to children (children are most prone to worms). It is effective on both round worms and tape worms.
Other Benefits: treatment of oily skin, oily hair, abnormal palpitations, colitis, migraine, neuralgia, fatigue, headache, nausea, abdominal pain resulting from gas or cramps.

Code 3085 Wholesale: $17.75 (What a bargain!) Retail: $23.36

GERMAN CHAMOMILE ESSENTIAL OIL – 5mL

German chamomile essential oil has been used to support the body’s natural response to irritation and injury. This oil contains
chamazulene (which gives it its beautiful blue color), a compound studied for its ability to help the body’s natural inflammatory response.

It is especially helpful with inflammation due to bacterial infection.

This oil is out of stock at the moment (and understandably so; it’s called for in many of our Young Living “recipes” we can make up for various types of ailments and inflammatory issues); because of it’s popularity, I’m sure it will be back in stock soon.

Dietary: Put two drops in a capsule. Take three times daily or as needed.
Topical: Apply 2–4 drops to desired area. Dilution not required except for the most sensitive skin.
Aromatic: Diffuse up to one hour three times daily.

Code 3086 Wholesale: $ 34.75 Retail: $45.72

LEMON MYRTLE ESSENTIAL OIL – 5mL

Lemon myrtle essential oil, when taken internally, boosts the body’s natural defenses and can also be used as a cleansing agent to purify household surfaces. Aromatically, lemon myrtle has a powerful lemon scent, even stronger than lemon essential oil. The fresh aroma is uplifting
and refreshing, which may help clear the mind to enhance concentration or promote a peaceful night’s sleep.

Per some research on the internet:
An extremely potent antibacterial and germicide, Lemon Myrtle is a much more effective germ killer than the more familiar Tea Tree. Anecdotal evidence shows a much lower than expected number of coughs, colds and sinus problems in households that regularly diffuse the oil.. It makes a lovely winter oil, with its combination of a cheerful lemon scent and its proven germicidal activity.

Dietary: Dilute one drop with V-6™ Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex or other vegetable oil (e.g., virgin coconut, olive, almond). Put in a capsule and take up to three times daily.
Topical: Dilute one drop with V-6 or other vegetable oil; apply to desired area.
Aromatic: Diffuse up to 30 minutes three times daily.

Code 3079 Wholesale: $ 17.50 Retail: $23.03

MELALEUCA QUINQUENERVIA ESSENTIAL OIL – 15 mL

Melaleuca quinquenervia (Niaouli) essential oil supports skin health. Most aromatherapy books refer to this oil by the name Niaouli. It is similar in appearance and aroma to Eucalyptus.

Niaouli has been noted by Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt (if you are not familiar with him, he has spoken at our YL Convention in the past, and was one of Gary Young’s original mentors. He founded the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy in CA) as an excellent general immune system booster,and an agent to help one with allergic reactions. His protocol is the application of 5-20 drops of oil directly to the skin after a shower, for best absorption. [Given that it is recommended for skin health, allergic reactions, and boosting immune system, I will use it because I’ve had a powerful reaction to insect bites this year – will keep you posted as to results. Joy]

Niaouli oil is considered an analgesic, antiseptic, bactericide, cicatrisant (helps to close wounds), insecticide, decongestant and vermifuge (expels parasitic worms from digestive tract).

Its aroma is stimulating and uplifting; it clears the head and may aid in concentration. Niaouli oil is considered an excellent antiseptic for treating pulmonary infections such as bronchitis and sinusitis. For respiratory problems, it blends well with YL Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Pine, Myrtle, and Ravintsara.

Niaouli may be used in place of Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree Oil) for those who find the smell of Tea Tree to be a bit too medicinal an aroma, The medicinal and aromatic properties of the two are considered similar, with Niaouli having a somewhat less harsh scent - and being more commonly used for respiratory conditions.

Code 3089 Wholesale: $29.75 Retail: $39.14

NEROLI ESSENTIAL OIL – 5 mL

Neroli essential oil is one of my all-time favorites. It comes from the bitter orange tree, which is an odd contradiction because it has a sweet, floral aroma, and is often used in top-selling perfumes. It derived its name from Nerola, Italy, where Princess Orsini – in the 17th Century – used it as a perfume and body wash. It has gone on to become one of the most popular essential oils because of its ability to:
* alleviate headaches
* treat depression
* rejuvenate/regenerate skin
Note: It reduces appearance of stretch marks, repairs broken capillaries, helps fade scars, refreshes “tired skin” by applying a small amount to skin on a regular basis. Can even add a couple of drops to your favorite skin creams.
Additionally:
* Cold Prevention: wards off cold-causing bacteria; keeps mucus at bay. Also assists with sleep.
* Digestion Aid and/or Increasing Appetite – improves digestive process, and helps increase appetite when not getting enough nutrients.
* Relieving Muscle Pain (add to massage oil after a workout)

AND, FOR MY FAVORITE USE!!! J
It makes DIVINE ICE CREAM FLAVORING!!! Fifteen years ago, I took an aromatherapy course for women in CA, which covered every aspect of how to use essential oils. When we got to “Foods,” the instructor had purchased some Haagen Dazs Vanilla Ice Cream, softened just enough to add a few drops of Neroli Essential Oil and stir it in. WOW!! I know – ice cream isn’t on the “healthiest foods list” but when I want a real treat, that’s my choice!!

Dietary: Dilute one drop with V-6™ Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex or olive oil. Put in a capsule and take up to three times daily or as needed.
Topical: Apply 2–4 drops directly to desired area. Dilution not required except for the most sensitive skin.
Aromatic: Diffuse up to one hour three times daily.

Code 3088 Wholesale: $74.75 Retail: $98.36

PALMAROSA ESSENTIAL OIL – 15 mL

Palmarosa Essential Oil is a relative of lemongrass, and was used in temple incense by the ancient Egyptians.

It has properties that may be beneficial for:
* Candida, cardiovascular system, circulation, digestion, infection
* All types of skin problems, such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, boils, shingles, wrinkles, dermatitis, rashes & fungal infections, because of its anti-inflammatory & anti-viral properties
* Hydrating dry, undernourished skin; thought to stimulate new cell growth, regulate oil production, moisturize, speed healing.
* Stabilizing nervous system & heart; calms mind, indicated for palpations, restlessness, insomnia, and anxiety.
* Insecurity, inability to handle change or frequent absence of loved ones. Appropriate for those who feel “clingy,” jealous or possessive.

Combined with lavender, tea tree, and geranium essential oils, palmarose oil can often assist in clearing genito-urinary infections, such as cystitis, urethritis, and vaginitis.

Dietary: Dilute two drops with V-6™ Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex or other vegetable oil (e.g., virgin coconut, olive, almond). Put in a capsule and take three times daily or as needed.
Topical: Apply 2–4 drops to desired area. Dilution not required except for the most sensitive skin.
Aromatic: Diffuse up to one hour three times daily.

Code 3077 Wholesale: $18.75 Retail: $24.67

The wonderful Distributor, who shares so much information with all of us through her website, chatlines, FB, etc., Tiffany Rowan, has come up with a wonderful protocol. She has a two-step plan that I plan to follow. Even though my actual weight is fine, there is still that “tummy fat” and cellulite on the thighs!!! To learn the details of this wonderful protocol – check out:

Grapefruit essential oil has antitumoral, metabolic stimulant, detoxifying, diuretic, antiseptic, fat dissolving, cleansing for kidneys, lymphatic and vascular system, and antidepressant properties.

HELP FOR LYME DISEASE

Because I now live in the South, and frequently hear of cases of Lyme Disease – even in my neighborhood – this post on Pine Hill Chat Line caught my attention. Responding to a request for help with this issue, Debbie Hurley replied:

Dear Julie and Group:

Raindrop as often as possible.
Add fennel, to place all over the back.
Add Inner Defense as well.
Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection but there are many co-infections that ride along with the Lyme disease.
I hope this helps.
Debbie

I then checked further and found this on Young Living Around the World on FB:

I recently had a bout of lyme disease. I took Inner Defense three times a day. I put Thieves on the bottom of my feet. I also put Ocotea on the bulls eye site* every night. Within a week, the Lyme disease symptoms were gone. This stuff really works!!! - Trudy Ellis

* For anyone unfamiliar with the tick bites and bulls-eyes, when the bite is serious, it will often form a rash in a ring around the bite. - Joy

When I checked my archives, I saw that I have an extensive file compiled by the wonderful Edith Chupp who organizes her files so well. It is too extensive to post here, but if anyone really needs more information, I can send you the file. (But after Convention, please J).

Because this is a shorter Convention than usual, and not being held in Salt Lake City, there won’t be a “Spa” set up. And, BTW, I’ve learned that because YL is growing to such proportions, our Conventions will now be either National (as this one is – and a bit shorter) or International (full schedule).
Growth is good!.

However, in lieu of an actual Young Living Spa, a number of Distributors/practitioners are offering their services. Here are some who have expressed interest in being promoted:

* From Carla Green: Second Chance Facial Rejuvenation.

Attending YL convention? Interested in a Second Chance Facial Rejuvenation session? Visible results in 30 minutes! One of our top practitioners will be available. Contact Adam directly BEFORE Sept 21 at adamtgreen@live.com or Phone: 403-896-6706 to book your session. Limited sessions available, first come first served!

For an overview of our protocol visit www.bit.ly/secondchanceintro. To watch our free webinar Erase your Wrinkles naturally visit www.bit.ly/weberase. Aside from looking younger, this is a great way to build your Young Living business.

* From Denise Galon:
Denise is available to give the following treatments for attendees to get some R&R after their flights, lots of walking, waiting in lines, etc:

- Head Massage (Shoulder, Neck, Arm, Head & Face) - 30 minutes $45 or 45 minutes $70

That at least gave me enough of a break that I was able to fight my way through the pain, stand up and hobble to the bedroom & apply Valor to only my back.

QUICK TIPS WITH YLEO’S

* Canker Sores- A drop of myrhh applied directly on the sore can bring relief
– from Marilee Tolen

* Adding to foods- I added two drops of lemon essential oil to a serving of cottage cheese and it was delicious. Citrus Fresh added to yogurt is yummy too.
- from Young Living Around The World on FB

* Eliminate Paint Fumes– There are many, many testimonials on this subject, but here is a recent one.
- from Kate Brown, posted on Greater Joy

I don't have a room without the oils in the paint. I have used several - purification, peace and calming, joy, thieves. I use 15 ml to 5 gallons. Or about 3 ml per gallon - around 50 drops. Make sure you mix well. I have only ever used it in latex. It is amazing how little smell and fumes when you use it. Plus it changes the energy in the room, in my opinion. My step daughter says she sleeps best in her bedroom at our house compared to anywhere else - peace and calming in the paint.

* Bad Breath?- Open a capsule of Young Living’s Probiotic: Life 5; sprinkle the contents on your toothbrush and brush your teeth!

YL Essential Bits 450

2011-09-17T17:47:00.000-05:00

Hello Everyone,
Receive free this month, 2 Young Living essential oil blends, Joy and Valor, with every 215pv order. This is 1/2 of the oils needed for Gary Young's Great Day Protocol below.

Valor is the essential oil I always come back to!!! It is "the chiropractor in a bottle". Most recently I've used it on an old ligament in jury in my ankle that I've re-injured twice since December. I've used many oils on my ankle over the past months, but Valor is the one that has really speed up the healing. I rub it on my ankle before going for a walk, and there is no pain, and I feel that my ankle is protected. It literally feels like the Valor "holds" everything (ligament, nerves) where it should be. I can tell that my ankle is healing correctly this time. And, Valor has the most blissful aroma! I love this oil to put on the back of my neck and down my spine each day!!!

Warmest regards,
Susan sent to you by Cristina

Gary Young’s Great Day Protocol
1) Start each day with Gary’s simple routineand discover how happy and confident you feel!
2) Place one drop of Valor on the inside of your left wrist. Hold the inside of your right wrist to your left wrist for a few minutes. This step balances the body.
3) Apply a drop of Harmony to your solar plexus (the area just above your belly button) to calm your mind and promote positive feelings.
4) Apply one drop of Joy to the area above your heart. This step helps bring happiness to your mind and body.
5)Place a single drop of White Angelica in the palm of your hand and rub your hands together. Lightly brush both hands over your head, face, shoulders, chest, and down the rest of your body as though applying an angelic shield.

A truly awesome testimonial---pass it on to all sleep-deprive souls!.....
Hi Jaynessa

I just wanted to share with you that there are many YL oils that help people sleep. One of the most powerful is the Rutavala oil blend. I myself, and have my clients, put about 10 drops of Rutavala in a little shot glass and add like an inch or two of water and drink it before bedtime. It has helped so many people sleep. Some people need more drops than that but we all have to experiment and see what works. I then take the Rutavala Roll On and put more in my brain stem area (indentation at the top of the neck) and along the ridge at the top of my neck and I put a little under my nose and it works every time, if I am having a hard time sleeping. Also we now have Sleep Essence capsules which are pre-made capsules to take with Rutavala, if need be. Also the Tranquil Roll On is great for sleep support as well as Peace & Calming. so as you can see there are many other options as opposed to just Lavender if your friend is having such a hard time with it. I am also going to post now a great testimonial from a client of mine who as soon as she started taking Rutavala in water before bed, was able to go off ALL her meds. And she was on all kinds of meds from sleeping pills, to anxiety pills, anti depressants etc..

Be well
Julie Chertow

Testimonial:
I've been battling insomnia for years. I've tried almost every sleeping/anti-anxiety drug known to man, and they either don't work, or I'd wake up feeling drowsy or find myself with other side effects. My problem is both falling to sleep and staying asleep. Honestly I didn't expect anything from RutaVala, considering I had developed a dependency on Ambien which caused it to stop working. But my massage therapist Julie Chertow, highly recommended at least trying it. It took a few days of my sticking with the RutaVala, but on night three I got into bed, felt myself sink into the mattress, and the next thing I knew my alarm was going off. I couldn't have been more shocked! I think I actually got out of bed and said "no way". The taste at first was a little off-putting, but I now concentrate on the lavender part and it's incredibly comforting. I've also now associated the taste with sleep, so when I recently packed my little bottle in my purse for a trip, just the smell of when I opened my bag made me think of bed!

My prescriptions list was extensive as: valium, ambien, restoril, lunesta, xanax. Crazy, I know! I now put 10 drops of RutaVala in an inch of water and drink it right before I get into bed, take a few deep breaths to inhale the oils.
In gratitude,
Dana

....and if that doesn't work for someone---here's another...........

Dear friends,
Just had my best night's sleep ever! Applied Dream Catcher, Peace & Calming, & RutaVaLa to my pulse points and feet, the rest on my pillow. ZZzzzzzzz

Young Living Donates Omega Blue Supplement to Youth Treatment Center

SALT LAKE CITYJuly 22, 2011 Young Living, the world leader in essential oils, recently made a large donation of Omega Blue™ supplement to The Heritage School, a residential treatment center for at-risk adolescents. The donation will provide a year’s supply of the supplement to the school’s entire student body and is valued at more than $20,000. The school’s staff is already attributing improved behavior among the students to Omega Blue.

The omega-3 fatty acids found in Omega Bluealong with a proprietary blend of essential oilssupport healthy cardiovascular and brain function. Omega-3s are also believed to stabilize mood and have a positive impact on depression.

“We have had a very encouraging response to Omega Blue,” says Debbie Hamilton, director of health services at The Heritage School. “The quality of the product was recognized immediately by students, parents and staff members. We know that Omega Blue is a major contributing factor to the behavioral improvement we are seeing in many of our kids. Young Living’s generosity toward our school is greatly appreciated.”

The Heritage School is located in Provo, Utah, and offers a variety of therapy programs customized to fit the needs of each of its students. At-risk adolescents spend an average of 14 months at the school and then graduate equipped with the social and psychological tools they need to lead happy, productive lives.

“We are proud to be able to donate our products to an organization that does as much good as The Heritage School,” says Young Living CEO Doug Nelson. “Its mission of improving lives resonates with u, and it is a privilege to assist them in transforming the mental and physical health of their students.”

"Enzymes did the trick"................................
Hi All,
My son's girlfriend had similar, ulcer-type symptoms (we suspect celiac or gluten intolerance, but her GI put her on medication for GERD, which of course didn't work) - and the enzymes did the trick!!! No more intestinal upset or digestive issues. She cut out the wheat, and started on YL's Essentialzyme (3 before a meal) and experienced a dramatic improvement.

Best of luck to you!

Vicki Opfer's protocol for cervical challenges.................
(Vicki is a YL Crown Diamond distributor, and naturopathic healer for over 30 years)

A friend has had two abnormal pap smears showing mild cervical dysplasia. Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,
Christine

Hello Christine,

In the past, I have had a challenge with cervical dysplasia. What I have done is to:

1. take ProTec, pour a little (say 3-4 Tablespoons) into a glass dish
2. add about 8-10 drops of frankincense oil
3. stir it with a tampon, slightly pushed out of the applicator.
4. Then I've allowed the tampon to sit in the mixture for 10 min. or so , turning it now and then, to soak up as much as possible before using it as a nighttime retention support.

When I feel a certain "twinge" in the area of my cervix, I do this protocol for 4-5 nights in a row, and then I go to the gyn for a check up, which is always fine.

I recall Gary Young saying that wished he could add a whole bottle of frankincense to a bottle of ProTec, but he knew that very few people could afford that, so he told that if I used it in the way I've described, perhaps I would want to add some extra frankincense, just for good measure...

ProTec was originally designed as a nighttime retention enema for men with prostate difficulties. There is nothing in the mixture that is "male". Nothing at all hormonal. It's got oils in it that have been noted historically to work for cancer. It's in a vegetable oil base, so you have to refrigerate it in between uses.

They were going to take ProTec offline at one point because so few people ordered it, but we talked them into keeping it online - at least for now. It's such an important product!!! I've put away several bottles, just in case. As long as they're not opened, and I keep them in a cool place, they're fine.

I hope this helps your friend!

“My daughter came home from school with strep one day. I took my daughter to the Doctor on that first day, and she tested positive for strep. I wanted to try a more holistic approach to healing; rather than submit her body to antibiotics. Ten days later, after following protocol from the Essential Oils Desk Reference, (mostly using the Essential Oils of Thieves and some Oregano), I took her for a check-up. The results of her retest was negative. Way to go Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils! Thank you for bringing good health to my family!”

YL special Bits- Another Way to use the E7 Kit

What a great way to stock up on this favorite essential oil kit....or even better....what a great gift to give family and friends.)

Read what others have said:
"I noticed we have not had a flea problem since we have been diffusing Purification on a regular basis. We used to have to put that stuff we got from the vet on behind the dogs neck every year. We have not done that in 2 years. This was just a by product of our quest for better family health." -David Langdon

"I discovered over the holiday weekend that Peace and Calming also works wonders for dogs that get frightened by fireworks. I have a dog that just freaks out. She normally cannot be consoled or controlled, she literally will claw the skin right off of whoever is trying to hold her. Well, dousedwi th Peace and Calming on the pads of her paws and inside her earflap, and down the middle of her muzzle, she slept like a baby and didn't show the least concern. This is truly a blessing for an animal, and much better than trying to tranquilize them. I applaud the groomers, vets, and kennels that are thoughtful enough to P&C. Wouldn't it be wonderful if more of the pet industry caught on to Peace and Calming? Peace and Blessings," - Nancy

My husband Blaine and his best friend Toby Robertson went on a camping trip and they traveled a great distant on horses and by the time they were about home one day away our dog Happy could hardly walk because her feet were so sore. So Blaine applied lavender to her feet that night and the next morning she was like she was on day 1 when the started.
Nancy

I bought a couch at a yard sale and put it by a big window and when I came home the house smelled like cat urine. I called Nancy Sanderson and she suggest that I use Purification in a spray bottle on the couch. Now it is like a new couch without the odor.

I applied 2 drops lemon in my hands and rubbed them together and pet my cat and the flea took of for other places. Also I put around 30 drops of peppermint in water and spritz my horses to keep the mosquitoes off.

PanAway was applied to a to a leg of a horse that got kicked and it took his pain away and walked away without a limp.

The Essential 7 kit - Perfect for use with pets and people!! A variety of single and blended essential oils for daily use. Conveniently packaged for those on-the-go. The Essential 7 kit was created so that anyone could immediately use and appreciate the benefits of therapeutic-grade essential oils. These oils may be used as dietary supplements, diffused, added to bathwater, applied on location, spritzed on your pet, or used with body massage. Refer to the individual oils for specific benefits and instructions.

The kit contains three single oils: Lavender (Lavandula Augustifolia), Lemon (Citrus limon), Peppermint (Mentha piperita), and four blends: Purification, Joy, Peace & Calming, and PanAway.

Lavender is the most versatile of all essential oils and has been highly regarded as soothing to the skin. The French scientist René Gattefossé was the first to discover these properties when he severely burned his arm in a laboratory accident. It can be used to cleanse cuts, bruises, scrapes, and skin irritations, including hot spots. Lavender has also been studied for its relaxing effects, both physically and emotionally.

Lemon helps support the immune system, according to Jean Valnet, M.D. It can serve as an insect or flea repellent and may be beneficial for the skin. Add a few drops to distilled water and spritz on your pet for a refreshing lift after an active day. Can add lemongrass or rosemary to the water.

Peppermint is soothing to the digestive system. Jean Valnet, M.D. studied peppermint’s ability to affect the liver and respiration. Scientists have also researched peppermint’s role in affecting impaired taste and smell and mental accuracy when inhaled. Useful for digestive upset and to enhance your pet’s appetite.

Joy is an exotic blend of lemon (Citrus limon), ylang ylang (Cananga odorata), bergamot (Citrus bergamia), mandarin (Citrus reticulata), rose (Rosa damascena), and other essential oils that produces an uplifting magnetic energy bringing joy to the heart. When diffused, it can be
refreshing and uplifting.

PanAway was created by Gary Young as a result of an injury in which he severely tore the ligament in his leg. This blend contains birch (Betula alleghaniensis), which has an active principle similar to cortisone; clove (Syzygium aromaticum), which contains eugenol, a constituent used by dentists to numb gums; peppermint (Mentha piperita), calming for nerves; and helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum), soothing to localized discomfort.

Peace & Calming is a gentle, fragrant blend especially designed for diffusing. Its components [orange (Citrus sinensis), tangerine (Citrus nobilis), ylang ylang (Cananga odorata), patchouly (Pogostemon cablin), and blue tansy (Tanacetum annuum)] promote relaxation and a deep sense of peace. When massaged on the pads of your pet’s feet, it can be a wonderful prelude to a peaceful night’s rest. Peace & Calming may be especially calming and comforting to your pet during an overactive, stressful day.

Purification is a blend of purifying essential oils, such as citronella (Cymbopogon nardus), myrtle (Myrtus communis), lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus), and melaleuca (Melaleuca alternifolia). When diffused, it can neutralize mildew, disagreeable pet odors and help cleanse the air. When applied directly to the skin, Purification can be excellent for soothing insect, flea or tick bites and for cleansing cuts and scrapes.

Founded by Gary Young in 1993, Young Living Essential Oils is world renowned for exceptionally high-quality essential oils, dietary supplements, personal care products, and other unique products for healthy lifestyles. Young Living’s Mission: At Young Living Essential Oils, we are committed to uniting ancient traditions and modern science to promote health and longevity.

YL Essential "Short" Bits

2011-08-30T16:08:00.000-05:00

Another short round of Bits.....
Susan sent from Cristina

Make wellness centers/gyms smell good!...................
Hi Nancy and Oilers All...
I am a personal trainer working in a wellness center and they use our Thieves cleaner on all their equipment. I can tell you this, our facility smells so much better and the clientele have also asked what we changed as they used to use a diluted bleach...yuck.
Gail Christian

Very good advice to consider when cleansing/detoxing...............
Hello Oilers,

I have found that juicing beets and apples, cilantro and parsley (and a cucumber if you can) has made a huge difference for me! (liver issues) I would also suggest Juvacleanse, but when your liver is clogged up you, have to take it slowly...not too much at one time or you can overload your system & re-toxify pretty quickly. Juvacleanse is THAT powerful!!! Gary Young once told me to detox heavy metals from my system slowly, I should take 1 drop of Juvacleanse a day in a capsule. (dilute with small amount of V6 oil if you're not used to taking oils internally) He said to detox heavy metals, going slow like that might take up to 2 years to be metals-free. However, if your liver cannot process the toxins well due to Fatty Liver, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Recently, before I was aware of how "stuck" my liver had become, I started to cleanse for candida, but it also sent a lot of metals straight to my brain with headaches. It freaked me out how for 3 days I couldn't remember much of anything!! THEN I remembered that Frankincense crosses the blood-brain barrier! So I downed a bunch of minerals with lots of extra H2O and rubbed 4-5 drops of Sacred Frankincense on my brain stem, behind the ears, on the temples and forehead. In short order, the headache stopped, my blurry eyesight cleared up, I could think again, and had more energy. I would highly recommend no matter WHAT you chose to do for Fatty Liver, that you keep Sacred Frank or Frank. on hand for emergencies and that you have zinc, magnesium, selenium (from yeast is safe), potassium and manganese available. You might also try N-A-C (n-acetylcysteine) to protect your brain and organs when toxins start to be released from the Fatty Liver, as they are likely stuck in there. Vits. C & E are also very potent liver-protectors. And don't forget to drink your NXR to help protect your brain and organs.

Best,
Joyce E. Stotts
Newark, NY

Susan's note: Especially good to use frankincense essential oil when cleansing! I put it on my neck, below ears, on the back of my neck and on my temples and forehead each night before going to bed. Started doing this when I began eating low fat raw vegan last week. (lots of cleansing and detox with a raw diet!) Further note, I, personally, would use frankincense for brain protection/clearing of heavy metals before using N-A-C, and would skip adding zinc, magnesium, selenium, potassium and maganese, but would takeYL's Mineral Essence.

Comparing Regenolone to the discontinued Neurogen, and, how to make Regenolone = Neurogen................
Hello Pen,

There was some discussion in June about Neurogen, and this is a response from then:

When Young Living first decided to discontinue NeuroGen, at that time they recommended Regenolone as a replacement. I was pretty new to YL then, and "something" at that time told me to buy a bottle of Neurogen, just in case.

So here comes my AH-HA . . . . . tonight I pulled out bottles of both NeuroGen and Regenolone to compare ingredients. Most of the ingredients are the same, with only a slight difference in order of placement. MSM is second, after water, in each cream, and sulfur helps the body to regenerate damaged nerves. The most significant difference between the two creams which struck me is that JUNIPER is the tenth ingredient in NeuroGen, and Juniper does not appear to be included in Regenolone. I say "appear to" because it's late and I am tired, so I may have missed it. But this is too exciting to wait until tomorrow to re-read labels and write to you then!

So here is the recommendation which follows my AH-HA . . . . . What would you think about applying JUNIPER to the skin, plus any other oils recommended by the EODR for the condition, then top it off with Regenolone? It seems to me that this combination should present a pretty good replacement for NeuroGen! Anybody else have any thoughts about this?

When two of my fingertips were severed in an accident less than a year ago, I severed nerves, arteries and veins in each of the two fingertips. Juniper is the oil I chose for nerve regeneration, added to other oils I layered on to deal with multiple aspects of the injuries. Thanks to these marvelous healing oils, I now have feeling in all but one very tiny spot on one finger which has deep scarring. My hand surgeon is amazed! He expected that I would never regain feeling in the fingertips and along the outsides of the fingers. At the time of the accident and resultant surgery, amputation was still a very real possibility. I am still awed and amazed at this degree of healing. My fingers have healed so well that if you compare my hands, you would need to look very closely to see which hand had been injured. Now most of the scars are no longer noticeable, thanks to Nancy Sanderson's Scar-B-Gone blend. I recently took a couple of months "vacation" from dealing with injuries, so this is a good reminder for me to get back to oiling away the little bit of scarring and numbness which remains.

One note about MSM . . . . our bodies need Vitamin B and Vitamin C to help with sulfur absorption. You or your client may also want to take Sulfurzyme, if it is not already being taken.

Oily blessings,
Beth Glass

Susan's note: Juniper is a fantastic oil! Also good for kidney, bladder support, and for uti's.

Raindrop oils for neuropathy................................
Hi Pen,
My father had total neuropathy on the bottom of both feet. He has hair growing on his toes and is not diabetic. which really puzzled the doctors as to what was causing the neuropathy.

He now has feeling on 75% of his feet after applying the Raindrop oils on his feet every three weeks for about 4 months!
Don

Antispasmodic essential oil..............................
Linda
Tarragon is highly antispasmodic. Someone in my downline has used it with success for specific muscle spasms.
Nancy

Susan's note: Also Aroma Seiz essential oil blend.

Help for high blood pressure........................
Hello Everyone:
My understanding and what I have often found has helped people with high blood pressure is to use Aroma Life with some additional Helichrysum and Marjoram. In fact the old YL clinic formula for high blood pressure was a combination of these three, and was taken orally in capsules. Or you could apply in layers, all three oils, one after the other, over the heart, over the inner elbow and over the carotid arteries.

Warmly,
Arlene Anisman

The beautiful, effective, Gentle Baby...............................
Hi Folks:
Just wanted to pass this on. Last week I developed a kind of heat rash on my inner thigh. It got so bad that the skin broke and I had an open sore. I tried lots of things, lavender, Melrose, even frankincense before I thought to look in the EODR, duh! It suggested the blend Gentle Baby. I put some on at night and by the morning the wound was already healing. Within 24 hours it was almost closed and to days later, it was gone completely. Now there is no sign of anything, no scarring at all. Amazing. I love these oils.
Love and Light,
Carole

YL Products---fresh several years beyond expiration date.............
Greetings, Everyone!

I know periodically someone asks about YL products past the 'Best by,' 'Use by,' or 'Exp....' dates on the products.

For whatever it's worth, this weekend I came across a NingXia Red single packet with the date "Exp. 06/08." I can't vouch for the nutritional quality of it, but it tasted just fine and I had no symptoms of anything going on which shouldn't have after more than three years after the expiration date. In the same box was an Apple-Cinnamon Manna Bar more than two years past it's expiration date which also tasted just fine and had good texture and moisture content.

So I have great confidence in the 'lasting' quality of the YL products.

Best wishes,
Carol Faust

Hello Everyone,
For those of you on the East Coast, may you be safe.

YL has one of their greatest promotions on this month---the free Essential 7 Kit. (see details at the end of this Bits) I love this Kit for gifting--especially for Christmas. So I can make several qualifying orders this month, and have several Essential 7 Kits to place in my gift stash. And, at the same time I get the free Kits, the additional bonus to me is stocking up on extra essential oils, personal care products and nutritional supplements. Win win!

I have been using frankincense and Brain Power alot recently, and love how they clear my head. I feel that old inflammation from past minor head injuries is being released every time I use them! So grateful for all these little bottles of "magic"!

Warmest regards,

Help for radiation burns.........................

Not-an-oil-you'd-choose-first for this.....................
Not long ago, I was up at around 2 AM with what promised to be a raging urinary tract infection. Anyone who has ever had one of these infections knows that they are not fun. The symptom are frequency of urination, accompanied by a burning sensation. After getting up every few minutes, I finally gathered up my blanket and pillow and perched myself on the throne. In a few minutes, my husband came into the bathroom with the thyme and lavender oils and told me to rub them in on my abdomen. Ten minutes later I was able to go back to bed and sleep the rest of the night. Now that's powerful!

....and about thyme oil...................
Thyme oil (Thymus vulgaris L.) is not only good for battling infectious diseases, but it is very supportive to your liver, and it can help to strengthen your body's ability to produce glutathione levels that decrease with age.

Dr. Ray Sahelian states that glutathione deficiency contributes to oxidative stress, which may play a key role in aging and the worsening of many diseases including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, liver disease, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, HIV, AIDS, cancer, heart attack, and diabetes.

He also says that glutathione is a powerful antioxidant found within every cell. Glutathione plays a role in nutrient metabolism, and regulation of cellular events (including gene expression, DNA and protein synthesis, cell growth, and immune response).

Many "anti-aging" professionals work on getting glutathione levels up, including D. Gary Young; the founder of Young Living.

Young Living offers an excellent product named Longevity™ softgels, that includes the essential oil of Thyme and other essential oils that rank among the most powerful antioxidants known. Antioxidants are elements that help to neutralize free radicals and lessen the day-to-day oxidative damage we are all subject to. Antioxidants are thought to protect the skin by attaching themselves to free radicals, which minimizes the harm they do.

NingXia Red for heart repair...........................
Mary, I can tell you my husband went through the same thing. He had a heart attack 6 years ago. He ended up with 2 stents, not three, only because they couldn't get to the third blocked artery. It was in the back, lower part of his heart, and they simply couldn't reach it. They said that even if they could, the artery was too small for a stent. They told him he would have to live with that pain -- you know, the pain that comes when walking after eating or exurting himself.

Well, we've only been using YL's Ningxia Red for two months, and guess what? One day he had walked the dog after dinner, and I became frightened, because he didn't come home as quickly as I though he should have. You see, there have been times he was not able to get home because of the chest pain. He would call me from his cell and ask me to please come pick him up, because he was afraid to continue walking home! Anyway, he did come in -- all excited. He grabbed my hand and shoved it onto his chest over his heart and said, "Feel my heart!" He was all sweaty, because when he never got the chest pain, which was always his cue to come home, he kept walking to see how far he could go before the dreaded pain came. IT DIDN'T! SEEMS NINGXIA RED HAS HEALED/REPAIRED THAT ARTERY! PRAISE GOD!!!

Hope this helps you and your hubby!!!

Omega Blue for bipolar/unipolar.......................
......high omega 3 dosage recommended by
Hi Sandi, I have a bipolar daughter and have treated several clients with bipolar. I believe it was Dr. Greg Hitter that gave me a paper showing the research on Omega 3's and bipolar. It says that bipolar and unipolar depression respond very well to large amounts of Omega- 3 oil. So not the usual 3/day but more in the amount of 9-12 of YL's Omega Blue/ day. Of course do the Brain Power essential oil blend and other brain oils. Neuricular as Gary Young teaches it, would also be good. Hope this helps.

Katherine

Susan's note: Dr. Hitter has a PhD in psychology, and also works with YL essential oils in his practice.

Seizure-free..................................
Loretta,
A man in my group used to get grand mall seizures. Now he carries Aroma Seiz in his pocket at all times. If he feels he is beginning a seizure, he sniffs the bottle and the seizure never happens. He has not had a seizure in more than two years, since starting with YLEO.

Growth on pancreas gone after a year of.................
Hi, Margy,
My mother had a growth on her pancreas. Her physician could not tell whether or not the growth was malignant without surgery and because of her age, he said that the surgery would be horrendous for her so to watch and see if the growth would increase in size. She used frankincense once daily over the area and the growth was gone after a year, much to her physician's surprise.

Be well,
Jeannie

For the ears.................................
Hi Jyll,
My favorite oil for ears is Grapefruit. I suffer from chronic ear infections, and would not be without Grapefruit essential oil. Do NOT put this into the sensitive skin of the inside of your ear. Simply apply around the ear and it works like a charm.

And don't forget Inner Defense. Take one capsule daily.

Be well, and trust your body!

SLEEP!..........................
It is estimated that Americans spend $14 Billion dollars, every year, on our Sleep Disorders!

58% of adults experience symptoms of insomnia a few nights or more per week.
35% of adults report at least one symptom of insomnia every night or almost every night.
For those looking for a safe, effective, and cost-effective alternative,
Young Living's beautiful essential oils stand alone.
Try some oils tonight before you go to sleep. You may be pleasantly surprised!

"I use Essential Oil of Cedarwood on my feet before I go to bed and sleep like a baby! It stimulates the pineal gland which releases natural Melatonin. I feel this is also good for the brain since Cedarwood is high in sesquiterpenes [brain food]. I have also used Alkalime and Lavender for sleep....love it."
- Jackie K., Hemphill, Texas

"When my sister Linda died last year, I found myself facing insomnia for the first time in my life. I'd go to bed as normal but would have trouble even getting 2 hours sleep a night. I had heard that Valerian could be good for insomnia, so I ordered a bottle from Young Living. I'd put a few drops under my tongue and then - because it didn't smell great - I put a drop of Lavender on the tip of my nose which masked the smell. It was a wonder! I was sleeping again and never was groggy in the morning. The National Institutes of Health has a website devoted to Valerian for Insomnia and Sleep Disorders. Just as an aside, I'm a big fan of 19th century Russian literature and one of my favorite writers is Anton Chekhov, who was actually a country doctor as well as a writer. In one of his plays, The Sea Gull, the doctor in the play named Dorn asks his patient if he'd like some Valerian drops for his insomnia. So this has been a traditional remedy. Valerian Root is generally regarded as safe (GRAS) for ingestion by the FDA. I would just make sure the oil ingested is therapeutic grade. I highly recommend the Valerian/Lavender combo for insomnia."
Kathryn Streletzky

"I put my daughter to sleep every night with a story and a kiss. Recently, I have added some reflexology techniques and the rubbing of Peace and Calming essential oils to the bottom of her feet, and some in her palms to smell deeply. The two of us become so relaxed and sleepy that we had to change our nightly ritual to stories first and oils last. She sleeps so soundly her blankets stay perfectly neat until she wakes up in the morning. Wonderful!"
Stacy Allen

"Last year I was having problems with sleeping at night so I decided I would try the Valor oil to see if it would help me out. I tried putting 2 drops on the bottom of both feet and then with the oil on my hands, I would cup them in front of my mouth and nose and take 6-8 deep breaths. Since I started with this routine I have been getting a full night's sleep and waking up very refreshed. My husband has been using it also and is sleeping better with a lot less snoring."
Anne Totzke

Susan's note: What I use for good sleep is Cedarwood on the back of my neck, lavender on the bottom of my feet and sometimes also Peace & Calming down my frontal line, and Valor on my lower back. If I am especially "mindy" (lots of thoughts I can't turn off), I will put a couple of drops of RutaVala (contains ruta--an Ecuadorian rainforest essential oil, valerian and lavender) in my mouth (tastes nasty so then a quick drink of water), and I always drift off to sleep---can take 1/2hr or so to calm things, so you might want to take it and then do yoga, read something non-stimulating, meditate, etc. for a bit, and then go to bed.

Hello All,
This week my oil story is about Valor.....

I've had a pain in my lower left back area for several months. Though I've had lower back pains before, they always went away after a day or two. Tried to ignore it for awhile, then began using the usual oils for something like this--AromaSeiz, Relieve-It, Juniper, IBF, OrthoSport, Deep Relief, Cypress, etc. Nothing really did it. Then 2 days ago spontaneously I thought of Valor. Within a minute of rolling it around my lower back,the pain was gone. I was stunned. Yes, Valor is "the chiropractor in a bottle", but for this kind of pain?????! Yes! I used it only once, and the pain is gone! Valor is such an important essential oil! Gary Young was especially genius when creating this one!

Warmest regards to you.

Growing dendrites..............................
We learned at convention last year that RutaVaLa is good on the brain stem, for helping to grow dendrites in the brain that have been killed off by mercury toxicity. It comes in a roll-on now, and you can apply all over the back of the neck in the little soft spot, and along the occipital ridge and ears.

Charla Siroff

Susan's note: The dendrites (Greek, dendr /o: tree) of a neuron are its many short, branching fibers extending from the cell body or soma. These fibers increase the surface area available for receiving incoming information.

Gentle Baby helped create good skin elasticity.................
HI Carol,

I was using Gentle Baby for when my kids needed help settling down, usually at night or if they were really upset. I have seen it calm a tired, cranky, hungry 3 yo instantly! I had read in the reference book that it was good for skin so I started using it neat on my face at night. About one month or so after using GB on my skin I went for a facial.

I was not one to really take great care of my skin, I often forget sunblock, sometimes I even forgot to use a moisturizer so I have had estheticians tell me over and over that my skin is dehydrated and other issues that I can't remember. And knowing what my skin was like at the time I believe it was true.

When I went to have a facial after using GB nightly I nearly fell off the table when she told me that my skin looked good! Really? She went on to say that my skin had good elasticity and other things. We then went on to talk about YL oils as she was a user and the spa was going to start doing pre-natal massages using GB the next month.

One of my favorite oil usage is at night putting oils on my face. Depending on my mood I use Frankincense, Gentle Baby, Geranium, Lavender, Elemi, and even Lemon (use a little only at night - it really brightens the skin!).

2 Essential Oils regenerate gums...................
Stanlee

You will love this YLO testimony I have to share with you now. For me it is beyond belief, so I keep staring into my great big magnifying mirror and it's confirmed every time!!!!

By now you are aware that I have always had dental and gums problems and all of my natural teeth have had to be crowned one by one throughout my life. The last five years have been especially difficult for me because although my gums have always receded and the black tops of my crowns sooner or latter were exposed, I have also suffered multi abscesses and gum infections, causing me to lose four more of the few teeth I had left.

My last infection and abscess was so bad that I emailed you after midnight one night when the pain was so bad I could no longer bare it. I had already been on antibiotics for this abscess which went away but now returned all within the same month. You told me to put Clove and Thieves oil directly on the gum over the abscess which I had been soaking with numerous cup of hot water and seasalt for two days without relief.

The minute I put these oils on my gum, the abscess popped up out from the gum and the relief was felt immediately.......This story still gets better!!!!!!!!!!!!

In order to remain abscess free and not miss anymore days at work, I decided to mouth wash with two drops of Clove and two drops of Thieves twice a day (morning and night) in a half ounce of warm water so I could remain infection free and avoid further antibiotics or additional root canal surgery. The tooth was actually slightly loose in the socket at this point and no pressure whatsoever was tolerable.

You know that black metal at the top of my crowns which showed when I smile - no more - gone completely.

My gums have actually grown over the crown tops and at 62 years of age I now have healthy pink tight gums and that infected tooth is as good as new. I no longer use a toothbrush, toothpaste or floss like my dentist always ordered me to, as I do not feel the need since I use my own homemade mouth wash. I switch my mouth wash around for about two minutes making sure to loosen all food that may remain between my teeth twice a day and that is it.

I can't wait to go to my dentist for my next checkup and watch his face when he examines my teeth and gums. I can't help but think "If only I had begun this routine five years ago I would still have four more of my natural teeth in my mouth today".

I am extremely thankful to you both for my new smile, healthy teeth and gums!

Best regards,
Lynn D'Agostino

Essentialzyme Ramping......................
I always start my "cancer" clients on the Essentialzyme Ramping program. It seems to work well as they are still all here years after sent home with a poor prognosis.
Candace

The Essentialzyme program: Start with 3 tables, 3 times a day. Increase the amount by 1 tablet every day until vomiting starts. At this point , stop Essentialzyme for 24 to 36 hours. This is to break loose and break down the tumor. Then start again with 4 tablets, 3 times a day and increase the amount until vomiting starts again and then rest again 36 hours. Start again with 5 tablets, 3 times a day. Increase until you vomit. Rest again and go back to the amount taken before the vomiting started. Continue to take the regular dosage for 6 weeks.

Moving along..................
Hi,
I take Omega Blue and Digest + Cleanse and "things" keep moving along. Wow Some different help.
Rose

Trigeminal neuralgia............
Hi MJ:

I had trigeminal neuralgia and received the direction in prayer to use Cistus (Rose of Sharon) and Peppermint. I applied just a couple of drops of Cistus oil to my fingertips and ran it up my jaw line and along the inflamed nerves near the TMJ and across the top of the eye. Then I did the same thing with Peppermint. The pain diminished significantly and I was able to then see my Chiropractor and later my massage therapist who did cranio sacral and myofacial release.

Any time the pain returned, I would use the same oils and within just a couple of weeks all the pain went away.

It came back once a few months later, and just using the oils and prayer got rid of it. It has not returned in the past two years.
Blessings for your friend,
Jacqui Close

Help for pancreatic cancer........................
Ms Frank
A couple of weekends ago my wife and I attended a talk/Q&A session with Dr HK Lin. He is a research scientist from Oklahoma University. He was in the St Louis area presenting a paper to Washington University on Frankincense and its ability to kill cancer cells. He mentioned it was effective on bladder, prostate, breast, pancreatic. You may Google Dr. HK Lin and Frankincense and select the article "The Awesome Power of Frankincense.
Ken Campbell

Susan's note: One cancer survivor who used YL's frankincense saturated in it, using 5 or more bottles a month.

.....specific information from Dr. Lin from another YL distributor.......
Frankincense essential oil may induce specific actions in cancer cells, leading to programmed cell death. Frankincense essential oil is thought to suppress multiple types of human cancer cells in cultures. This includes bladder, breast, colon, and pancreatic cancers.

Morning sickness......................
Hi Shelia, The thing that helped me the most when I had "morning" (basically all day) sickness was to place a drop of Purification essential oil blend on the inside of my check, I would repeat it every minute or so until I felt better. Usually morning sickness means there are toxins in the mommy's system. If it continues past her first trimester I would recommend a cleanse. I did one while I was pregnant and it helped so much.

Thyroid maintenance...................
Hi K.
I have had great success with Endoflex and Myrtle...rubbing both oils on at night, before bed. I was dealing with an over-active thyroid and they wanted to remove it. NO thank you! I got going on Thyromin right away and within 4 months, my levels were within range!

Now, after 5 years of everything going well, my thyroid is out of whack again and this time it's under-active...ugh. SO, the Endoflex and Myrtle have not been enough. Last night I added Thyromin (2 at night before bed) I am sure this will put me back where I need to be.

I have learned I need to throw Thyromin in there every now and again to keep it stable.

"Don't run out of those Essential Oils, they work!"......................
My son has tics, OCD, ADHD and Aspergers. About two years ago, we changed his medication, added GABA as a supplement for his anger and started using Essential Oils all within a three week time period. After several weeks he said."MOM, this is awesome". He uses 6 Essential Oils by smelling them at least 1 time a day. If he is especially agitated when he returns home for school, I remind him to use his essential oils - same if he is restless and cannot go to sleep. I would prefer that he use them 3 times a day, but there is just so much you can require of a sixteen year old boy.

The EO he uses are Brain Power, Valor, Cedarwood, Vetiver, Peace & Calming, Lavender. I am going to receive permission for him to take Valor to school with him to use when he gets unfocused.

Best of luck. You can contact me directly about his medication changes which had an effect on the Tics I believe. I believe all three had a huge impact on him. My sister who is always skeptical of my alternative methods kept Brad while I took a short trip last year. When I returned, she said "Don't run out of those Essential Oils, they work!"

Polysystic ovarian disease........................
Frankincense--Drink it, sniff it and put it on those ovaries!! I have a friend whose daughter no longer has any symptoms of PCOS. Her body craved the Frankincense and she would put several drops directly in her mouth several times a day.

Hello All,
For many years I have put drops of JuvaFlex and/or Di-Gize on my stomach/liver/pancreas area if my stomach felt upset or after eating too much fatty food. Miracle oils!!! They always calm down the symptoms of overindulgence, and even valid illness.

Last week when I had too much olive oil on popcorn, I decided to try a couple of drops of each in my mouth, rather than on my skin. The results were powerful! Not only was the over-fatted feeling dissolved, but within 6-8 hours the entire contents of my bowels evacuated---or at least it seemed so. I've done it twice since, as a short-cut cleansing before going all raw fruits and vegetables, and had the same amazing result. The drops could be taken in veg caps also, for the faint of heart--nasty tasting. (With a drink of water straight after, I wasn't bothered by the taste.) This is a must-have remedy for "tourista".

WARMest regards,
Susan sent to you by Cristina

Lori,
My 21 year old son's teeth were what I determined to be 'decalcified' by the way they looked: we could almost see through them - well, not that bad :-) but I guess you see what I mean. He took our YL Super Cal every day since March. You should see his teeth now: deep bright white! Normal! Beautiful white teeth! Incredible! Unbelievable but true! He took two capsules a day.

"I threw out 20 brands of other oils when I found YL, but, "WHY DO THEY
KEEP SENDING ME CHECKS?...........................
Hello
I give Sara a standing ovation for the view point you shared about Young Living. I have been with Young Living myself for 14 years. As a bodyworker I only wanted to use the oils for myself and on my clients. I was never interested in the business. In fact I was so uninterested in the business, I would walk out of the room at any convention or training whenever they would mention the word business and have a stroll around the grounds or sit by the pool! and that darned business kept chasing me! I would call my upline up and yell at her,"WHY DO THEY KEEP SENDING ME CHECKS?" WHAT DID YOU SIGN ME UP FOR???? I told you I did not want to do this as a business! Well 14 years later, the business keeps on chasing me. I have been through about 4 or 5 comp plan changes in the years. What I have noticed each time is those that freak out and complain have a heck of a time and those that say ok maybe i don't agree with it all, and remember what Sara shared about focusing on what we truly have and where else is there to go. I already threw out my 20 brands of oils down the toilet (over 100 bottles of oils) I used for 14 years when i first found Young Living. I have never looked back because I have never witnessed a more powerful healing modality than with our precious oils. I never saw one result with 20 other brands of oils. Nor did i have the knowing to expect to see any changes. I was so ignorant and only used them because they smelled good. I have always said in all my classes that I would still use the oils, still teach about them and share with others if it had nothing to do with a commission check. For me personally, it feels like such a blessing and bonus when my check arrives each month no matter how much it is. I know we all don't agree and like changes like the ones that are happening but if anything don't forget the preciousness of what we have.I wish us all sustainable financial wealth abundance and success and most of all health because without our health, we have nothing!!!
Be well

Ingesting YLEO's for pain............................
I have been using the oils topically & diffusing everyday for almost a year, I want to start ingesting the oils now. I understand each oil is different but is there a general "rule of thumb" for starting? How many drops, how often. It would be for treating neck pain.
Thank you, Be Blessed, Linda

Hi Linda,

Of course, we're not doctors, and cannot tell you how or how not to ingest oils. I'm not saying that to be FDA appropriate - I'm saying that because it's true. All we can do is share our own experiences.

When I decide that I want to start ingesting oils, I generally start with 3 drops of the oil in a capsule. If that goes well (it almost always has, with the exception of LEMON OIL, of all things...) I increase the amount each time I take a cap until the cap is full (if I want to take that much). With the lemon oil, the first time it gave me a feeling of indigestion the first time I took it in a capsule, which never happened again. Odd, I thought...

I don't ever dilute oils unless I'm applying them to the elderly or new infants. And even then, what I prefer to do is take a drop in one hand, rub my hands together until they're dry, and then rub the person's or the baby's feet. I'd rather use (or ingest) less of an oil, undiluted, than more of an oil diluted. When we dilute oils, we also dilute effectiveness. So in 17 years of using the oils, I have never once diluted an oil that I've used on myself, or my family.

Currently, I'm taking 2 different kinds of caps internally each day, in addition to using Longevity caps and Sleep Essence caps, (both pre- capped by YL). I'm taking copaiba in capsules to reduce inflammation in my body, taking care of any aches or pains that might be experienced by someone my age, and also because I know that inflammation is a pre-cursor to many degenerative diseases. I actually take 2-3 capsules full of copaiba once or twice a day. I remember learning that the people of Brazil use copaiba as a medicine, and take it by the spoonful.

I'm also taking 1-2 caps a day which contain all four (a few drops of each) of the "mood enhancing oils" - Valor, Harmony, Joy, and White Angelica. I've been doing that for a couple of years now, and find that my days look consistently brighter, regardless of what gets thrown my way... Taking these capsules seems to take the edge off of any stress that I might be feeling, and helps me consistently remain more cheerful. I like that.

So if I was having pain in my neck, I'd be applying oils topically every day like PanAway, Deep Relief, copaiba, and even a drop or two of each of the oils in the Raindrop Kit, one after another. (I'd use the Raindrop Kit every day for a month, actually.) I might also take copaiba in capsules. That's helped a lot of my friends with their pain, by the way.

Hope this helps!

Vicki Opfer

On the importance of Raindrop.........................
Ken Krieger, D.C. Chiropractor states:
" As a chiropractor, I believe that the dramatic results of Raindrop Technique are enough for me to rewrite the books on scoliosis. As we continue to unravel the science of how oils influence the body and spine, we will rewrite the present mechanical science of neurology. In its place will be a complete system that blends the nervous system, immune system, emotions and structure of the body."

Thank you, Joyce for sharing your success.............
A massage therapist in my group HAD trigger thumb. She was looking for a solution and we decided to try a NAT treatment on her neck. After completing that NAT, I then also applied Lemongrass and Lavender in the same manner to her neck and also vitaflexed the Lemongrass and Lavender into her thumb. The results were immediate and she was thrilled. She no longer has trigger thumb and has shared this information with many of the hairdressers at the salon where she works and they also have had great results by just putting Lemongrass and lavender on their hands. Hope this helps!

A normal response.........................
Good evening fellow oilers,
One of my distributors gave a Raindrop Technique to a gal with herpes and saw something kind of strange. After she applied the oils to her feet, she had her turn on her stomach and there was a red spot about the size of a half dollar on her neck just below the bottom of the skull. She made sure she applied V-6 as she applied other oils to that area. The next day, she said she felt a little burning in that area and she had a red spot appear somewhere on her one thumb. My distributor just wondered if anyone had any thoughts as to what might have been going on with the red spots appearing.

Howdy,
It appears that the Oils are working just fabulously, as to be expected--drawing toxic, acid waste out of her body.

Chronic bronchitis--the key here is "I have not stopped using it".........
Hello Melody.
I have been free of chronic bronchitis since 2003 and since then did not have any flue like sicknesses either. I started with RC back then and have not stopped using it. Every morning 1-2 drops in my hand and over my throat and chest. Works like a charm.
Happy Oiling,
Sylvia

The power of essential oils...............................
This is an email from Artemis, YL distributor in Australia, for your enjoyment and inspiration.

A word of Caution: Oils and Synthetic Carpets and Clothes
Artemis writes: This sharing from Cedric is a good reminder for all of us, when working on oils near carpet. Essential oils have an amazing ability to digest plastics......which is why if you put a few drops of Lemon oil inside a polystyrene cup, it will eat the bottom of the cup away in a mere 5 minutes. I've also seen essential oils digest lacquer on antique furniture! I do use 20 drops of Eucalyptus radiata oil in with every single wash of clothes, and I've been doing that for years (even in with my very best silk and linen and cotton and synthetic clothes)....however I put the Eucalyptus oil onto a towel or some socks or something other than a good item of clothing that might have a synthetic component to it. That way when the washing machine fills with water, the oil is relatively dispersed, and I've never had a problem with any of my good clothes. However - if I dripped the 20 drops straight onto a T-shirt that had Spandex or some other stretch fabric within it, it might leave some "pock marks" in the shirt. Likewise - if I've been handling essential oils and then pick up a pen, I can feel the oil digesting the plastic that surrounds the pen (it all becomes sticky). Here is how my email correspondence with Cedric went:

Cedric writes: Hi Artemis, I applied a few drops of Pan Away to my friends painful knee. He happened to be lying on the carpet in the lounge room when the oil was rubbed into his knee. Before he decided to get up and try to walk he rolled over and the knee where the oil was applied rubbed on the carpet. We now have a horrible stain on the carpet. I didn't think the oil would stain but it did. Have you any suggestions as to how I might remove the stain? Looking forward to hearing from you with some good news from our wonderful Young Living products.

Artemis' reply: Hi Cedric, I'm surprised at that....Panaway is colourless, and has no vegetable oil in which to stain. I'm thinking that the oil might have digested some of the colour out of the carpet, in which case nothing will repair it. Meanwhile, if it were me I'd try diluted Thieves Household Cleaner in case the stain is from something different. Kind regards, Artemis Cedric writes: Thanks so much for the info you sent me. The Thieves cleaner has made no difference to the carpet so I am sure what you have suggested is correct. Panaway has bleached the carpet and there is nothing that can be done about it. There is a lesson to be learned, however, and that is when using the oils make sure that they do not come in contact with carpet.

Many amazing pluses with YLEO's...............................
I am happy to tell you my story - I had an ultra sound that showed I had fibroids-- had not heard of YL at that time. A year later after I had been using YL essential oils for a few months, I had a 'wonderful' exam, by my doctor, and he couldn't feel that I had any!!! I had some discomfort with them and that was gone too. I use Harmony essential oil blend above my naval and Progessence Plus everyday, and that must have done the trick!!! I am so very grateful!! My mother let a fibroid grow to eight pounds, more than I weighed at birth, and really had a tough time ending up with having to have surgery. When people say the YL products 'sound too good to be true,' I just tell them all they have done for me with the fibroids being just one of the amazing pluses!!!

Blessings,
Sue

3rd scar healed with a YLEO protocol.....................
Hi Teri
I am healing a rather big scar right now and it looks AMAZING!! This is my 3rd scar I have used the oils I will list below and in just 6 months my dark purple keloided scar is flat, and almost clear. I started using the oils as soon as the bandage/tape came off. At first for the first 4 months, I used them 3-4 times a day. Now I am using them twice a day, and after I layer them all, I put either Animal Scent Ointment over them or Emu oil. I got my Emu oil from a Natropaths office where I live, but I am sure you can find it online. I had several people recommend it to me to help with scarring. The oils I am using are:
Layer the following oils one at a time:
Frankincense, Lavender, Helichrysum, Lemongrass, Geranium, Gentle Baby, Melrose, Australian Blue For pain, inflammation and nerve regeneration, i am also laying, Idaho Balsam Fir, Deep Relief Roll On, and Peppermint.

My doctors and my friends cannot believe how good it looks
Happy healing!
Julie Chertow

Susan's note: Emu oil is definitely not needed to heal scars. I have heard of many scar healings with only YL oils, and have also myself healed a scar on the outside of my toe from a bad gash, using only YLEO's. Also, I wasn't nearly as persistent as Julie in applying them--only occasionally, and in general mostly the application was Sensation Hand & Body Lotion. Then after a few years, I noticed the scar was completely gone.

Educating my clients with the EODR & the Aromatherapy Card Deck.......
I use the Essential Oils Desk Reference as my guide for my clients in terms of how and when to use a particular oil. The desk reference can be purchased at www.abundanthealth4u.com

I also purchased the Aromatherapy deck of cards from www.abundanthealth4u.com I ask my clients to shuffle the deck to get their energy on each and every card. Then, they pick a card and I ask them to read the details about the oil card they picked. Each and every time, my clients have picked the exact right oil for them.

These cards show how and when to use the oil in a way that is simple and easy-to-understand.

After they pick the card and read it, I then ask them to read the info in the Essential Oils Desk Reference about the particular oil.

Between the two resources, my clients are well-educated in a short amount of tme... and, I have not 'prescribed' or 'recommended' anything.

YL Special Bits- Essential Oils & States of Consciousness

2011-08-02T14:43:00.000-05:00

AN INTRODUCTION TO ESSENTIAL OILS & HEALING STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS
- Greg Hitter, Ph.D.

The use of essential oils, in both common healing practice and in the sacred rituals of nearly all world religions to anoint, initiate, and integrate, dates back to the most distant reaches of antiquity. Essential oils such as frankincense and sandalwood are steeped in ancient traditions of use for initiation, meditation, invocation, healing and altering awareness – while others like juniper and cedarwood have an ancient use in various cultures for balancing, cleansing, creating a sacred space, and even casting out demons. But how are essential oils able to cause these profound positive changes?

If we search the dictionary for the words ‘heal,’ ‘wealth,’ ‘well’ or ‘holy,’ we typically find that these words are interrelated - that they originated in the English language from a common root word ‘whole,’ meaning ‘to make whole. This link between health, abundance, the sacred, and wholeness specifically speaks to a need to unite our fragmented awareness, our conscious and unconscious being, into a unity or wholeness radiating in the body/mind, thus speaking to a need to become whole on the deepest level of our individual being, our consciousness. It also speaks to the profound results of this Self-unity – those of health, abundance and holiness -- and points to an error in our present thought, which fails to link them in a way that is consistent and meaningful, instead of divisive and fragmenting. This lost meaning reflects our fragmentation, collective and individual, not just in thought and feeling, but in our conscious being or ‘Self.’

Much of our new understanding of the nature of reality coming from the new sciences confirms the views of ancient wisdom in regard to the importance of our ‘spirit’ (as religion would call and understand it) or unified conscious being, as a source and director of the energy from which the material world originates. If we read the metaphysical writings of the great quantum physicists of the Twentieth Century (Einstein, Bohr, Bohm, Heisenberg, etc.), who speculate on the nature of reality from their researches, we find confirmation of ancient notions that the material world comes from energy and is subject to the rules of the quantum -energetic world, which itself appears to manifest from and be directed by consciousness. This then provides both ancient and modern scientific support for Carl Jung’s ideas on synchronicity, and the profound energetic link between consciousness and the material world . It also allows us to see how the energetic, vibrational qualities of oils are able to powerfully affect the body/mind when other approaches have failed.

In noting the ability of essential oils to influence these deeper levels or energy and consciousness and their subsequent ability to powerfully affect the more obvious but superficial levels of body and mind, we begin to demystify and better understand how oils can create great change in our energy, mind, body, and self -awareness.

Reading the literature on essential oils, we note a mixed use of old scientific, psychological, religious, and even mystical terminology in naming and speaking of oil blends and their uses. Because oils obviously work on most aspects of ourselves(mind, body, spirit) that are described by these varied but limited approaches, many find it necessary to use the diverse and fragmented languages of these often conflicting methods to try to describe oils and their actions, fully. But if we understand science, religion, etc. in terms of consciousness and the Self, thereby unifying those limited views of ourselves, then a demystified understanding and language develops—one that recognizes our true nature and the ability of essential oils to positively effect the body/mind toward health, high energy, and a joyous, sacred state of One Self. In summary, the ability of essential oils to energetically facilitate and support an integration of ones fragmented awareness and conscious being toward wholeness, provides the basis for understanding the power of essential oils and their use in ancient healing and religious practices. This vibrational nature of essential oils thus accounts for their recent postmodern recognition as a tool to integrate and whole states of consciousness and from that to positively effect the body/mind toward whole (well) being.

For a distributor of oils to claim their oils are "pure" without having a chromatograph analysis is untrue, in fact it is lying because they know better (or should). And oils that have not had an analysis are unfit for use as an essential oil. Young Living is the only company I know of that does this Gas Chromatograph analysis on all their oils. Be wise in your choice of essential oils.

D. Gary Young Founder, Young Living Essential Oils
“Negative experiences and ideas are recorded in our brains and locked into our memories throughout our lives. These memories range from mild to extreme and have a profound effect on our health and happiness. In order to become who we are intended to be, we must erase these negatives and reprogram our thoughts to make positive ideas our reality.”

The Feelings Kit features six essential oil blends formulated by D. Gary Young to promote emotional clearance and self renewal. This collection includes Valor, Harmony, Forgiveness, Inner Child, Release and Present Time.

Inspired by D. Gary Young’s life experiences, the Feelings collection was designed to lift negative impressions and allow openness to new beginnings. Everyone has experienced lasting adverse impressions that scar our inner self, prohibiting self growth and accomplishment.

Following the Feelings regimen, one can begin the path of self identification by aligning their emotions. Valor, Harmony, Forgiveness, Inner Child, Release, and Present Time complete this collection providing the foundation for emotional health.

THE YLEO FEELINGS KIT AND 7TH HEAVEN KIT
by Greg Hitter, PhD

(Susan's note: YL no longer offers the 7th Heaven Kit, however the 7 oils that made up the kit can be purchased separately: Awaken, Dream Catcher, Gathering, Humility, Inspiration, Sacred Mountain, White Angelica.)

What I'd like to share here now are some practical oils uses from my experience with these Kits.

If you search the oil blends in the Feelings and 7th Heaven Kits and create a grid of their single oil constituents, as I did a decade ago, you'll find that a number of single oils are repeatedly used.

One of these much-repeated oils in the Kits is SPRUCE. I want to highlight my experience with this oil, because it is very powerful in alleviating issues that commonly are very difficult to relieve and are disruptive to ones life.

Bipolar disorder, formerly called Manic-Depressive disorder, (or its less extreme form, Cyclothymia) is a particularly pernicious problem for people who suffer from the highs and lows of mania and depression. It seriously disrupts the well being of these people making their lives, and the lives of those around them, miserable. The usual edications and treatments tend to be expensive and hit-or-miss (at best), producing an unsatisfactory and largely unworkable treatment program and considerable disruption of their lives.

When I was a psychotherapist I saw several bipolar clients (as well as those with related disorders) who were on prescription medications, suffering greatly in a living nightmare that seemed unending. I attended special clinics and workshops on the treatment of these disorders that were presented by some of the top medical experts in the field. These clinics and workshops offered hope to those of us who were trying to help those suffering from this problem, but they offered very little in the way of actual help.

I can only say that it was "heartbreaking" to see the lives of wonderful people literally destroyed by the disfunction brought on by this malady. Ultimately, acceptance and a maintenance relationship was about the best that the medical and therapeutic world had to offer, as prescribed medications failed to effect a "cure."

Since then, my experience applying the oil blends of these two Kits that have SPRUCE in them (Valor, White Angelica, Grounding, 3 Wise Men, Present Time, Hope, Dream Catcher,Gathering, Inspiration, Sacred Mountain, Awaken, and Harmony) - and other spruce-containing blends such as Abundance, Motivation, and Trauma Life - produced amazing results! Of particular benefit were the spruce-containing blends that also contained lavender and geranium oils (blends such as Awaken and Harmony) - oils generally known to help resolve father and mother issues, respectively - issues that particularly coincide with Bipolar and related disorders.

These spruce-containing YLEO blends offer noticeable alleviation of the symptoms associated with Bipolar disorder almost from the moment they are applied. And allow for a stability to be introduced into theperson's life and relationships that previously has been disrupted to the point of being non-functional. Essential oil use also typically reachesthrough the ADDICTION PHYSIOLOGY produced by prescription meds and street drugs that holds severe body/mind disorders in place.

The preferred sites for applying these oils are those recommended with the instructions in the Kits - as well as the feet, palms, ears, and solar plexus for Valor, followed by application of another spruce blend placed on its recommended site, or on the back of the upper neck where it meets the head (for quick penetration into the brain stem).

As many of you know, Valor is an excellent oil blend for empowering the activity of the oils that are applied after it. It is believed that Valor's ability to enhance the effect of other oils is that it contains frankincense, the "gate keeper," as Gary Young calls it, for its ability to open one for healing changes. Yet the other constituents of Valor also contribute importantly to it's synergy with other blends, acting together powerfully on all levels of ones being; body, mind, energy, and the deep causal level of consciousness itself.

I recently observed two clients wean themselves from medications prescribed for their Bipolar disorder by using essential oils (not something I recommended but something they chose to do) as a substitute. This switch over to natural supports can be quite tricky and disruptive itself, but both of these clients fared very well (better than when they were on meds). What's more their friends and family reported a dramatic improvement in their relationships with these clients, noting they were "better than they could ever remember."

In closing on this point I'd like to quote my former medical physician and friend Julian Whitaker, MD, the founder of the Whitaker Wellness Institute. "The bottom line is that the answer to emotional problems is not labeling and drugging patients but getting to the root causes of their complaints and thenoffering them safe and effective solutions. Psychiatry as it currently functionsjust gets in the way" (Health & Healing Newsletter, Vol.16, No.12, Dec 2006).

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all enjoying the citrus oils in your water this summer. Also good made into ice cubes adding agave (or not) to the oils and water - will add a zing to any drink! Think I mentioned that I put drops of tangerine on the back of my neck and any light-headedness is gone. This was a great discovery---thanks essential oil online group!

I am a Capricorn, and one of the liabilities for this sign can be knees. Well, the past year both of my knees started hurting, aching, getting twisted easily, as I began to walk more, and intensely. I tried many oils, and they were helpful, but it wasn't until I ordered, and began using Ortho Sport last week that things began to turn around. Both knees feel normal. I rub Ortho Sport all around my knees twice a day, and also rotate drops of Aroma Siez, Relieve It, Idaho Balsam Fir, Juniper, Spruce. I love the smell of Ortho Sport, and love how it's taking care of my knees!

Warmest summer-y regards,
Susan

The "must-have" oil, especially for those over 50............
Hi,
What can one do for inflammation in the lower stomach area? The area has a hernia that needs repairing but the medical community tells the person that she is high risk for surgery now. She is on the lookout for oils to lower inflammation in the area. Any ideas would be good.
Rose
Hello Rose,

My very favorite oil for inflammation is copaiba. The research on this oil is quite conclusive. It's made up of over 50% of a molecule called beta-caryophyllene, which is a well documented anti- inflammatory compound. It's also 7% alpha-humalene, which has been determined to be an excellent compound in reducing swelling - a symptom of inflammation. I fill caps with this oil and take several (3-4) every day, and I've done that for about a year now. Since most diseases and pain are associated with inflammation, I think it's a good idea for me. As a result, all the little aches and pains I used to suffer are totally gone.

My understanding is that the people of Brazil use this plant oil as a tonic, and take it by the spoonful. This implies to me that it's time- tested.

When I use copaiba topically, it seems to take a little longer to work to relieve pain than, say, PanAway or helichrysum. However, it's gentle, has almost no smell, and does not heat up on the skin.

I think it's a must-have oil, especially for those of us over 50.....

I hope everyone's enjoying their summer!

"Enzyme, enzymes, enzymes"...........................
Hello fellow oilers:
I am working with a gal who has recently been diagnosed with MS. We are doing weekly Raindrop treatments. She would like to know if others using the oils are also doing other medical treatments such as Copaxone or doing just the oils.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Mary Ann

Hi Mary Ann,
Enzymes, Enzymes Enzymes. . . .Gary Young says that undigested food eventually seeps into the blood stream (leaky gut) and since it is unrecognizable our body sends out the alarm and our body starts attacking these foreign objects. This creates plenty of inflammation and eventually could lead to MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Alzheimer's, and other auto -immune diseases. He suggests enzymes before you eat and Detoxzyme between meals and before bed.

I would be on NingXia Red, and taking lots of Sulfurzyme in the morning (can keep you awake if taken too late in the day).

Kate
Susan's note: Young Living has 6 excellent enzymes. Find informationon them at youngliving.us , under Products, Nutritional Supplements.

Spinal stenosis....................................
Melody
I strongly recommend a Raindrop Massage. I am only 58 and have spinal stenosis in my neck. I had a Raindrop and it expanded my spine giving me relief from pain. I have been pain free for over two months and no longer get numbness in my fingers. I am getting another treatment next week.
Jan Lougher

---------------------------
For stenosis of the spine - Raindrop, Raindrop, Raindrop!
Jackie McLaughlin
-----------------------------------

From notes taken at New York conference with Gary Young on the use of Essential Oils:

Combine Frankincense with Palo Santo for pain relief, emotional release, and for *spinal stenosis**.*

(For Spinal Stenosis drip oils up the spine and on the edge of inside of both feet from heel to top of big toe as done in Raindrop- OUTER Edge of foot.)

The "Chiropractor in a bottle".........................
Suzanne, Valor is your friend. Wear it, breathe it and put it on the bottom of your feet before your chiropractor appointment. I have suffered from lower back pain due to muscle shortening in my legs for a few years. I would get an adjustment and feel better but for only a day or two and my muscles would pull my hips out again and I would be back where I started. I read somewhere that Valor was the chiropractor of oils so I started putting a drop on the bottom of my feet right before an adjustment. I have had excellent results with my body staying in alignment for much longer periods of time when I do this. I would think your headaches might have something to do with this but I swear by Peppermint for headaches and nausea too for that matter. Put it on your temples (careful, not to close to the face), the back of your neck and right through your scalp. It feels great immediately.

Hope that helps

Kidney stones - easy remedy that worked............
Hello Phylana and fellow oilers! I helped someone just by using lemon oil. The poor lady was in the hospital with excruciating discomfort and not much could be done for her because she was quite pregnant. They tried this out of desperation; they had never believed anything I had done with the oils. Well, it worked like a charm and they still talk about it.

I do remember reading that a drop or so of helichrysum with the lemon is also beneficial.

Good luck and keep us posted!
Evagelia

.....and........
Phylana and fellow oilers, I do not recall how many drops we used. I want to say at least 4-6. Can not tell you how often but my guess would be every couple of hours would be ok. I hate to be so vague but this couple just went ahead and did it and it worked. If you are into muscle testing, you may go that route.

We did not apply over the area but I guess that would not hurt. You may want to look in the EODR for further suggestions. All I know is that they used some lemon drops in a capsule a couple times a day and voila it worked. I do remember her saying that she got relief within the first hour or two after the first capsule.

Now, everyone's body is different and kidney stone are all different. We can only try and also see what the other oilers out there say.

Hope this helps., Evagelia

For bruising and swelling...........................
Hi Rose, Valor and PanAway are amazing for bruising and swelling. I fell on a tree stump last year while I was walking in the bush. By the time I got back to my car I had a big, black lump on my shin. As soon as I got home, I applied Valor and every time I thought of it that night (probably 4 or 5 times). Before I went to bed I applied PanAway and woke up during the night to apply it again. In the morning, the bruise was minimal and the swelling was completely gone. I still had the tenderness for a long time after but I was pretty amazed at the oils.

De-musting air conditioning units.......................
Hi Donna, I don't have experience on a room type air conditioner but I will tell you what I did to get rid of the smell in my heat pump in North Carolina that had mold and was stinking bad. Maybe it will help. I opened up the unit so I could get to the 'fins' that surround the cooling coils. I then mixed up a little stronger than normal solution of the Thieves Cleaner and water in a large trigger spray bottle to which I added about 20 drops of Thieves oil. I sprayed all the fins really well, tried to wet down everything I could and then let it set and dry naturally. I tell ya, it got rid of the musty smell my air conditioning had had for years! I had even had that unit professionally cleaned and it hadn't taken care of the problem. Now every once in a while when the unit is running I spray a little of the same spray into the return air vent ( I take the filter out before I spray then put it back in) and let it suck it thru and it has really cured a long standing problem in that unit. So I would say she could spray the back of her unit with the Thieves mix and see if it would work for her too. :o)

Healing skin issues for dogs...........................
I just had a dog with skin issues and what I did was to shave around the area far enough back that no hair could lay on the effected area. Then I washed it daily with YL's Animal Scents shampoo and removed any crusty, scabby areas. Then I wiped it off with the ART toner to dry it. Then I layered the essential oils - The Gift, Geranium and Patchouli. It was better in just a few days and it had been all weepy and crusty to start with - had several spots.

I love love love Animal Scents ointment and use it all the time and have had some amazing success stories with it. However sometimes when it is a "wet" sore and it needs to be kept dry, Animal Scents oinment may not be the best as it may help keep it moist.

Hope for quick healing.

Blessings.

Using YLEO's to heal cancer - 2 testimonials.................
Dear Kayo and Pinehill Group
I am no professional expert in healing but I am SOLD on Y L oils for so many reasons. Two of my closest friends (one my mother in law) used Y L oils to heal their cancer - testimonials follow:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
My mother in law was given two months to live by the medical profession!!!!!! Cancer in the bowel. She refused Chemo (bless her) telling the doctor that she'd sooner die first.

My husband (her son) prepared for her oils capsules of Lemongrass Lemon Orange and Frankincense (took three capsules two times a day). He prepared Vitamin C powder in little bottles (each bottle had a heaping teas of powdered C) she took one of these per day At first she had to take less until her body became used to it (diarrhea) He put her on NINGXIA RED (3 oz a day mixed in 8 oz of water) and Essiac Tea (the mixture you drink with water -inst on bottle). I did Raindrops 2 to 3 a month.

Within SIX MONTHS the doctors were amazed she was still alive never mind the cancer had decreased significantly. ONE YEAR diagnosed no cancer HOOO RAY!
- - - - - - - - - - - -
My friend (dear friend) diagnosed cancer of liver and lungs The Medical Profession told her she had SIX MONTHS to live if she didn't take chemotherapy She accepted their recommendation for chemotherapy -- it nearly killed her it was such a shock to her body.

I attempted to persuade her husband -- her caregiver -- to follow my mother in law's protocol. I don't know whether he believed more in doctors and chemo or didn't trust the oils but he did accept the oil capsules (she paid for the oils (I made the capsules) She took two capsules two times a day (they never questioned who made the capsules???? - took me an hour each month to prepare the capsules) He didn't want to spend the money on powdered vit C (much more pure and much more powerful and too expensive says he) she took ONE!!!!!! blinkety-blank vit c pill (purchased at WalMart) per day Ningxia Red she bought two and took them. No Essiac too much money!!! Husband wouldn't buy more -- too expensive. I give a free RAINDROP Once a week (she pays for the oils -- i keep them at her place) despite this half _ _ _ _ protocol her cancer shrunk in the liver quite a lot but they kept doing chemo (lungs is just a spot left) six weeks at a time with a two week interval (they say until the cancer is clearer - I say until they kill her with chemo!!) It is now TWO YEARS LATER. She goes to an acupuncturist who works at bringing Judy's organs and her spine back (she got a curved spine after the chemo treatments - quite a curve) Judy goes two times a week to the acupuncturist.

If I miss a Raindrop JUDY is really anxious for me to get there as soon as possible. She phones me afterwards and tells me how wonderful she feels. Her back is tingling for more than six hours then it slips back into it painful state again (we believe its chemo shock on her body that causes the back situation.) She can no longer walk properly without a cane or a walker We are praying we can get her off that d****d Chemo and she'd return to walking as she used to.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
That's my testimonials. Hopefully your friend will be more convinced at what damage the chemo will do for her dear young daughter.

Building blood with YLEO..............................
Dear Shawn
Use lots of cypress oil. It builds blood corpuscles, especially the white cells. Apply it on the skin, breathe it, and take capsules of it. It will accelerate the rebuilding of your immune system after chemo has destroyed it. The doctors will be amazed at the speed of recovery from chemo when cypress oil is used like this.

The Cancer Corner..........................
Melody,
I take from 3 -6 of NRJ and more, a times each day. It's not that I monitor it that closely for my health, these days, I'm always finding new ways to have a refreshing drink, and I just love the taste. I do NingXia Red "shots" whenever someone comes to visit. One oz of NRJ and they can add any oils they want that are on my counter.

Did you know that Lemon, Orange and Tangerine Oils 15 drops or each per day helps kill cancer by cleansing the liver and building glutathione for the liver? The info in the EDR.

Also, keeping the bowel clear is very important before the liver begins to detox. The Cleansing Trio was what I took for that. After the bowel was cleansed and everything was flowing well, I began cleansing the liver so, I took Juva Cleanse in capsules 10 dr in am and 10 in pm for about 4 weeks, then off for 2 weeks. I repeated this again for about 3 months. I took 15 drops of Tangerine, Lemon, Orange oils per day and used Frankincense in caps 5dr 2 times per day for me.

Then I applied the oils topically in this manner. Thanks to Kathleen for sending this out a while ago for all to share.

I apologize for taking so long to reply to this. I know that there are notes in the PIne Hill archives, but I was sure that there was more than what was there. I found my notes and have put a * by the ones I added from my notes.

Protocol: By alternating the following on a tumor site, it keeps Cancer in a state of confusion

Frankincense & Tsuga treat for 3 days then switch to
Frankincense & Ledum treat for 3 days then use
Frankincense & Lavender treat the tumor for 3 days then use
*Frankincense & Idaho Balsam Fir for 3 days then use
Frankincense & Clove for 3 days then use
*Frankincense & Sandalwood for 3 days then use
Frankincense & Tsuga again, and repeat the above.

*Because of the multiple agents the cancer can't adapt. Use 1-12 capsules a day.

(You would have to muscle test to see how much in each capsule and how many capsules/day. I believe it is to be equal drops of frankincense and the other oil.)

Make the day great!
Kathaleen :)

Melody,

I've been using NRJ and Wolfberry Juice which was the name of the original juice. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2001and began reading about how the Wolfberry Juice fights cancer. This was the original name of NingXia Red Juice! All my tests are coming back cancer free. I recommend NRJ to everyone ! !!

PLEASE purchase your own copy of the book "THE DISCOVER OF THE ULTIMATE SUPERFOOD". From that research you will discover that you, your husband and all the people you helped with NingXia Red Juice are getting a powerful healing juice. The Wolfberry in the NingXia Red Juice is very crucial in building up the immune system.

Do your research so you have peace of mind! The book is all you need to answer all your questions. I recommend this to everyone.

Love and Light,
Stanlee

I went down to the YL Clinic in Ecuador in 2008, for 5 weeks to get Gary Young's opinion on my health. When he saw the results of my dark field live blood test.he was amazed. He said that he never sees people coming to the clinic with such good blood. Then he said that the only people he sees with blood this healthy, were the ones who drink NingXia Red Juice. I was so amazed that he found my blood in such healthy condition.

SO, I will never stop drinking it and the people I recommend it to ALWAYS feel wonderful and if for any reason they stop, they call me and say that they see a huge difference and start up again.

This is just my story and the decisions I made.

Love and Light,
Stanlee

Using YL in beauty salons.......................
Dear Alicia,

I have recently enrolled a distributor who is also a hair dresser, but not the owner. She diffuses Thieves by her station and her customers love it.

She is also giving lavender and peppermint scalp treatments to all of her clients. After she applies the conditioner and rinses, she applies the scalp treatment. I believe she made up a spray of lavender and one of peppermint, She lets the customer choose which one they like best and she sprays the whole head and massages it in. Her clients are loving it and she is charging at least $20 for the treatment and no one is complaining.

Kind regards,
Lorinda Walker, LMT

Product Tip - from this week's YL Corporate e-newsletter........

"Wonders" for all skin conditions..................
Dear Group:
My grandson has bad eczema and every time my daughter tries to put anything on him, he screams it burns. Does anyone have any idea what to do in regard to the burning.

Thieves Cleaner with power washers..............................
Hello fellow oilers!
Eventually I will be buying my own power washer - have you had success with putting the thieves cleaner through the soap dispenser of the power washer, and will it retard mildew growth?
Thank you so much!
Evagelia Lyras

I have used the Thieves Cleaner in the soap dispenser of my pressure washer and it worked great. I used it on my siding and let it sit for a couple minutes and then started the pressure and it worked awesome it came cleaner with less effort and time than when I used the siding cleaners in years past. Thieves Cleaner is definately the best cleaner for everything (I think anyway haven't found anything I don't love it for). As for putting the cleaner on after washing to reduce mold growth why not it can't hurt and with the thieves blend of oils in it, it should help.

Using Thyromin for chronic fatigue..................
HI Meg,
YL's Thyromin taken in the morning feeds the adrenals and at night just before you go to sleep, works on the thyroid.

Our bodies are on a clock and are actively able to absorb nutrients better at the times the organ is actively looking for nourishment...I did this protocol with my husband when he had chronic fatigue...it was wonderful.

Oils On,
Sara Kenney

Dark patches on the face...............................
Frankincense and YL's ART Skin Care Line took care of mine, along with my crows feet, and improved my vision to boot!

......another ART victory...............
My daughter had "mask of pregnancy" a darkening of the skin on large patches of her face. She had it 5-6 years. Nothing made it go away. She used ART and after about 2 years it was gone.

YL Essential Oils- The Powerful Citrus Oils

2011-07-14T18:22:00.000-05:00

Dear All,
Putting together this Special Bits has been an education for me about the power of Young Living's citrus oils - grapefruit, orange, lemon and tangerine. They are some of the least expensive of all the oils, and, some of the most potent!

I'm including one of the stories from my research in this opening letter because it is such a strong statement of what an essential oil is capable of.

The 4 citrus essential oils are FREE this month with every 180pv order. Read on to see why you won't want to miss this promotion.

Orange essential oil and cancer regression and prevention........
"Our group has been pioneering many concepts in Young Living. The most important is the use of orange oil for helping the body release cancer. When people are willing to ingest 10ml of orange oil every day (in capsules), this replicates the amount of limonene in the studies that were done which showed regression of cancer.

Just recently while in Japan, a young woman of about 45 told me that she had been told last summer that her uterine cancer had spread throughout her body and she only had a month to live. The doctors said that due to her condition, they were not able to offer surgery or chemotherapy. After speaking with a Young Living leader there, she took 10ml of orange oil every day, in capsules. She also rubbed orange oil, frankincense, myrtle, sandalwood, and Tsuga all over her belly every day, and she drank 4-6 oz. of NingXia Red each day, as well. She is now cancer free! These kinds of stories are starting to surface, and even though they are anecdotal, they will help us help others in the future! This is what keeps me going every day!

A personal story from one of the leaders in my organization: "My Mother-in-law had a grapefruit-sized tumor on her only remaining kidney. Her other kidney had been taken out due to cancer 5 years earlier. The doctors could not treat her because of her deteriorating health so she began to take 10 ml of orange oil in capsules. She took 2 full capsules every 2 hours for eight hours a day. After 3 months the tumor was gone. She continues to take 1-4 capsules of orange oil and also drinks 2-4 oz. Ningxia Red every day. Her cancer has not returned." C.D. Westwood, NJ

I am not a trained medical doctor, and I am not making any recommendations to anyone about anything. I am simply passing along what I have seen and heard. People need to use the best of both worlds - allopathic and natural medicine. If someone calls me and says that they have a lump in their breast, my response is, "Hang up the phone and call your gyn and make an appointment. Then call me back and let's talk about what we can do while you're waiting to see your doctor." PLEASE - let's NOT be irresponsible!

I cannot advise anyone about anything either. All I can share is what we know:
1. Limonene has been shown through research to not only inhibit cancer, but also to regress it.
2. Orange oil is 95% limonene. (This is why it is in our Longevity supplement, which I take every single day.)
3. In order for us to replicate the amount of limonene used in the studies, we would have to ingest 10 ml of orange oil every day. For how long? I don't know. Until it was gone, I guess.

Other studies have shown that frankincense (which is 12% limonene), myrtle, sandalwood, and Tsuga all have excellent inhibition of cancer cells. If I were using those oils, rubbed on my breasts (for prevention, which is what I do from time to time) or over an area of concern, I would use them neat (without dilution) and liberally (6-8 drops of each...), and often, perhaps even several times a day if I thought I had a problem.

That's about all I can say. I think it's absolutely amazing that something as simple as orange oil, which is very inexpensive, might hold the key to the challenges with cancer...

Hope you all are healthy, happy, and taking Longevity morning and night, like I do.

D-Limonene Studies
Excerpted from the Young Living Clinic Newsletter, 2005

Experts believe that although your genetics may increase your risk of cancer, it is the environmental factors (diet, pollution, etc.) coupled with your predisposition that will cause cancer.

Environmental factors within our control that contribute to cancer development include overexposure to estrogen, ionizing radiation (X-rays), ultraviolet radiation (Sun), carcinogenic chemicals (formaldehyde and diesel exhaust), tobacco smoke, alcohol and carcinogenic foods (charred meats and nitrates).

Experts believe genetics may increase your risk of cancer, but it is environmental factors coupled with that predisposition that will actually cause cancer. Lifestyle choices can influence a person's genetic predisposition for cancer. "It was unequivocally found that animals fed vegetables or fruit experienced either fewer tumors, smaller tumors, fewer metastases, less DNA damage, higher levels of enzymes involved in the detoxification of carcinogens, or other outcomes indicative of lower cancer risk"- Steinmitz et al, 1996

Studies and lengthy reviews support diets rich in fruits, vegetables, fiber can reduce cancer risk. In the 2000 updated version of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the USDA recommends eating plenty of fruits and vegetables because they provide not only vitamins, minerals, and fiber, but other substances experts are labeling "phytochemicals".

A list of phytochemicals is found in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association and it includes familiar headliners such as: indole-3-carbinol, allium compounds, isoflavones, saponins, phytosterols, limonene, lutein, lycopene and flavonoids.

One phytochemical of particular importance in cancer prevention is d-limonene, also known as limonene. It is found in citrus fruits, spices, herbs, and some conifer essential oils. The oils extracted from the orange and lemon rinds concentrates limonene.

This simple moncyclic monoterpene compound has been found in nearly 100 studies in animals and in humans to prevent cancer, stop the progression of cancer, and destroy and dismantle cancer. Limonene has been shown to be active against several types of tumors, including mammary, skin, lung, liver and forestomach in rodents, and colon and breast cancer in humans. Incorporating limonene in your diet is a healthy lifestyle choice that helps promote normal cell life cycles.

Uses of citrus oils.........................
HI Melissa,
I use Lemon oil in my water first thing in the morning to de-acidify my system from over night, and then the rest of the day I include YL Grapefruit, Tangerine or Citrus Fresh in all my water. I love having the citrus oils in my water, and I know that they are good for me and my gall bladder too. I find Tangerine oil to be a "happy" oil too!
Enjoy your oils,
Stephanie Fitzpatrick

Di-limone, is a molecule in citrus oils and has been studied extensively for its powerful properties in opposing cancer tumors.

Jeff Kaplan R.N., L.M.T.

I was told that the estrogen dominance that showed up on my thermography,which I had around this time last year, was inflammation. About two months later, a very wise 86 year young Lady told me that she eliminated dairy products and used Grapefruit, Orange and Cypress in H20, as a response to "lymph build up your chest". I was amazed because I never said anything bout lymph build up but to me, that is inflammation. I took it to heed and drank a NingXia Red-size bottle of it over a couple days. I have read research that cancer is accumulated inflammation.

Lemon essential oil informational stories...............
Dear Lorinda and Group:

Your daughter was certainly blessed that you had two of the most powerful oils out there...i.e.: Peppermint! and Lemon (in the Citrus Fresh)!

I have repeatedly used Peppermint and straight Lemon Oil to kill off viruses and bacteria in the throat and nausea, too.

I always drip Lemon Oil straight onto a sore throat...just tilt head back and drip a couple of drops. It will burn, but shortly afterwards, the sore throat will go! (Also great for singing!)

My sister even killed off pre-cancerous lessions in her mouth with 3 nights of Lemon Oil on a cotton ball stuck between her teeth and inside of her mouth.

Best,
Joyce S.

Hi Cindi...
My son has mild traumatic brain injury due to a cardiac arrest he had back in March 2000. Since March 2006, we have been using oils to help with the brain injury. Lemon has been my son's go to oil when he really is dealing with situations. It just helps him to focus better.
Teri Gorbea

Orange essential oil informational stories...............
Orange oil protects liver health and contains a molecule called limonene which has been observed to not only inhibit cancer, but also to regress it.

Hi,
A delicious treat: I buy chocolate or carob wafers, put them in a jar with a couple of drops of peppermint or orange oil on a piece of napkin for a couple of days & there you go.They taste way better than the flavored chocolate you buy.
Good luck,
Adele

Hi Group,
I have two toddlers (3 ½ and 1 ½) and we used diluted Clove and Orange (one or the other - one of my boys just hated the Clove). Both of the oils worked great. Simply apply to gums or put on a teething ring before giving to the child. Then we'd use Peace and Calming on the belly button, feet and spine. The oils were my saving grace during a rough teething time!
Sharon

Orange Oil did work great (thank you, Jessica). My son opens wide when he sees the bottle of Orange Oil coming. He just loves it!
Sandy

An especially interesting one: attracting bees..........
Hi PineHillers
Speaking of bees, I noticed recently that there were hardly any honeybees around certain plants which always had a whole bunch of bees. Someone on either this group or another mentioned that she used Orange Oil in her house and a bee flew in. So I rubbed some Orange Oil on a couple of branches of the tree and now there are many bees around that tree as well as on the flowers of my basil plants. Maybe it's coincidence, or perhaps it's the frequency of the Orange Oil attracted them. It's been a couple of weeks since that one application and the bees are still happily stopping on the blossoms. If the bees stop coming again, I'll repeat the application of Orange Oil and see what happens.
Jeannie

More on orange oil + cancer, and link to study...............
Amy,
What we know, so far, is that limonene is a molecule that has been shown, in research, to regress cancer. We also know that we would have to ingest 10 ml of orange oil every day to get the same amount of limonene that was used in the studies where regression of cancer was observed. That's about 12-14 capsules a day. People who have used this therapy have had good results, and you have to know that we're not doctors and these people are not our patients. We are pioneering the use of orange oil to replicate the limonene studies.We have a long way to go.

How long would one want to take it? We don't know that either. If it were me, I'd take the 12-14 capsules for 3 months. Then, just like any natural supplement or medication, I'd start ramping it down, and take 1/2 amounts for a week or two, then 1/4 amounts, etc. I would probably stay on 2 caps of orange oils for awhile - perhaps a year.

I take 2-4 Longevity capsules every day, and they contains orange oil. That's what I do for prevention. Then, off and on, when I'm inclined to do so, I may also take extra caps of orange oil, "just for good measure."

Longevity capsules also contain thyme oil, clove oil, and frankincense oil, which have all been observed to be anti-cancer oils. It's also the very best anti-aging supplement I'm aware of, and it may help reduce the risk of heart attacks, stroke, and cancer. So it's something that we should probably all take every single day, perhaps forever...

A 1996 study at Charing Cross Hospital in London, UK, achieved close to a 15% remission rate in patients with advanced colon and breast cancer using doses from 1- to 15 grams of d-limonene from orange oil as their only treatment. In patients with only weeks or monts to live, limonene treatment extended patients' lives by up to 18 months in some cases.

Orange essential oil - for constipation - apply to bottoms of feet and during a colon massage (mixed with V-6)

The rearview mirror fell off the windshield in my van early last week, so today, I finally got A Round Tuit" and decided to put it back on. I ran into a problem. The last time I put it back on, I got some glue between the mirror & the metal piece that holds it onto the windshield. I tried everything I could think of, except throwing the thing through a brick wall, to get the metal piece off the mirror.

Then I remembered reading something about Lemon Oil removing super glue from stuff. I don't have any Lemon, but I do have Orange. Since Lemons & Oranges are both citrus fruits, I thought I'd try the Orange. I put a few drops of Orange on the metal piece & waited a minute. Then I took my utility knife & tried to see if I could cut through the glue again. I was very pleasantly surprised when some of the glue came off the metal piece & onto the utility knife blade. All I needed to do then was just apply a little bit of outward pressure to the metal piece with a small screw driver & out it came. I cleaned it up with more Orange oil & then put it back on the windshield.

When I went back outside to put the mirror on, I saw that I had used too much glue & it was running down the windshield. I came back in the house, got my bottle of Orange & a paper towel. The glue came off the windshield with no problem at all.

OUR OILS ARE WONDERFUL!!!

Tangerine essential oil informational stories..............
Hi Mary,
Tangerine is wonderful in Ningxia Red. I take a large water bottle, fill it with 1-2 oz. of NR, 6 drops of tangerine, a good squirt of agave nectar, and ice and filtered water. Shake it all up and it is quite a treat. I drink this in the mornings and love how much energy it gives me.

Hope this helps.
Melissa

For Meniere's my clients have had success with raindrop and tangerine behind the ears as well as inhaling regularly. Also trying thieves around the outside of the ear if a virus caused the problem..
Good Luck
Debbie Hurley

.....and.....

Grapefruit essential oils information stories............
I drank and still drink 3-4 liters of water a day with grapefruit oil. I've lost weight doing just this.
Nancy Tracy

Grapefruit essential oil is helpful in combating fluid retention. Rub it on the bottom of the feet or on lower abdomen, or put a few drops in water and drink it (only if it is a therapeutic grade oil such as Young Living).
Marilee Tolen

Dear Group,
The spleen is a huge lymph gland. So when having spleen problems clean the lymph system with grapefruit and ledum. Grapefruit oil is wonderful at digesting fat molecules. It also cleans out lymph. I also is a diuretic. I love grapefruit oil. I put people on it who have gall stones.
Yours in health,
Dr. LeAnne Deardeuff, D.C.

I had several brown "age spots" on my face and one of the larger spots started to become a raised surface and I didn't think anything of it until I recently scratched it and saw that under the brown pigment it was very bright pink and thought it could possibly turn into something more serious.

I started putting on frankincense because it is used for cancer treatment and I had read that grapefruit was good to put on skin cancer. I never went to a doctor about this. I just put on those two oils several times a day and rubbed them in. Now after a few weeks of slowly shrinking I am thrilled to report that spot is completely gone! I hope my experience may help.

Limonene Stand
It is time for a summer challenge: Get in your car and drive down the street. I bet you won’t make it out of your neighborhood without seeing a child’s lemonade stand. Aren’t they the reason we keep a few extra quarters in our car? For a meager 50 cents you can buy an escape from summer’s squelching heat. If only it were that easy to soothe and protect our internal systems. Each day we are bombarded with free radicals, pesticides, and other external stresses. Nature’s plan for defending us against these forces comes in the form of antioxidantsand there are few antioxidants more powerful than d-limonene.

D-limonene was named after lemon because of the high concentrations of this constituent found in the rind. A powerful antioxidant, d-limonene is known to boost immune function and protect cells, and has traditionally been used for weight loss and to treat bronchitis.

High concentrations of d-limonene are found in the following Young Living citrus-derived products:
Grapefruit essential oilFresh, citrus aroma known to energize and uplift when feeling stressed or unhappy. Creates the sense of fullness when used in conjunction with a healthy weight-management system.
Lemon essential oilStrong, citrus aroma that refreshes and stimulates the mind, improves memory, promotes a sense of well-being, and works as an insect repellant. It is also useful as a cleaning aid.
Orange essential oilRich, fruity aroma that lifts the spirit while providing a calming influence. It also encourages positive emotions.
Tangerine essential oilSweet, tangy aroma known to help with occasional nervous irritability and promote a sense of security.

My favorite usage tips:
Add to food or rice as a dietary supplement.
Add to soy milk or a smoothie as flavoring.
Add to lemonade for variety and depth.

Let’s not let children hold the corner market on this summer treat. It is time for each of us to enjoy the benefits of having our own d-limonene stand. Isn’t our health worth more than 50 cents?

Please reply with your favorite YL citrus essential oil. Make sure to include your favorite way to use it.

Ryan Seely, YL Product Marketing Manager

Remember, citrus oils and blends containing citrus oils (Lemon, Orange, Angelica, Bergamot, etc…) cause our skin to become photosensitive. Do not apply them to skin exposed to direct and intense sunlight (in the dead of winter we are usually okay) – for at least 12-24 hours. A distinct
discoloration of the skin can occur –so remember – place your citrus oils “Where the Sun Don’t Shine”. from Dr. Melissa Shelton, DVM

Sunscreens using YL Essential Oils...........................
Young Living’s V-6 Oil is a thin and wonderful blend, which contains Coconut, Sesame, and Olive oils (as well as others). So even alone, V-6 can be used as a sunscreen. But, by adding high quality, medical grade essential oils to this mix, you can get wonderful healing effects for the skin, as well as added sun filtering activity. Of course, I only recommend the use of Young Living Essential Oils – as they are tried and true, and TRULY medical grade. I personally don’t put any other brand on my children (two legged or four legged).

Sun block: Mix 3-6 drops Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) with 100 drops of sesame oil or olive oil. Apply on skin every few hours.

Sunscreen: 1 ounce sesame oil, coconut oil or olive oil, 10 drops Helichrysum, 5 drops Lavender and 3 drops Chamomile. Mix and apply.

Sunscreen Plus: Put half a 15 ml bottle of Myrrh in a 4 ounce bottle of V6 to use as sunscreen. You can add Sandalwood to it if you want to improve the youthfulness of your skin.

Natural Sunscreen: 2 ounces sesame oil, 2 ounces Aloe Vera Gel, 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil and 24 drops Lavender Oil. Combine ingredients. Shake well before using. Remember, this will not provide total sun protection.

Myrrh Sunscreen: Mix 20 drops of Myrrh into 2 ounces of V-6 diluting oil.

Super Easy Sunscreen: Apply Coconut Oil to water moistened skin. Coconut oil alone is reported to have great sunscreen ability – however some people report added benefits when applying to wet skin.

LavaDerm Cooling Mist: Young Living has a spray called LavaDerm, which is great for sunburns. However, many people have reported seeing sunscreen actions from this spray as well.

Avocado Oil Sunblock: Mix 4 ounces of Avocado Oil with 30 drops of LavenderEssential oil. Apply liberally every 3-4 hours or as needed.

Lavender Sunscreen: Mix 4 ounces of V6 oil with 10-30 drops of Lavender Essential oil.

As you can see, there are many variations on what can be used for sun protection. The main thing is use an oil that you like, and that provides some sun protection. Sesame, Coconut, Olive oils are good bases to start with. Essential oils such as Helichrysum, Lavender, Patchouli, and Myrrh have added sun protection benefits and help to heal skin. Mix and match, and create a custom blend that you enjoy. Adding other Essential Oils can add extra benefits to the application. I may pick oils such as Frankincense, Peppermint (for cooling effects – but I would not use in a cat formula), Sandalwood, Chamomile and others, for additional benefits to the skin. Also, you can play around with different oils to find a scent combination that you particularly enjoy.

Gardening..."Never have a problem with bugs or mold"..........
Hi Liz!
I use diluted Thieves household cleaner with my indoor, outdoor, and garden plants all the time.....never have a problem with bugs or mold, and my plants are beautiful!. If I see even a hint of such a thing, I stop it before it gets started. I also spray a very diluted amount of Abundance oil around them (while saying a blessing over them). There are other oils you can you use, too, but for right now, this seems to make them and me happy.
Elisabeth

Hi Liz,
I use Thieves household cleaner along with Basil, Oregano, and occasionally other oils on my vegetable plants, herbs, and fruit trees monthly. It keeps pest away, along with mold and funguses. The plants love all the oils and they make the plants healthy and green.

Mosquito repellent made with YLEO's........................
Dear Group:
We live in Eastern Minnesota, and have property we're building on just over the river in Western Wisconsin. Not only are the mosquitoes extremely prevalent, but ticks as well. I've found an equal mixture of the following oils works very well in repelling both. they will buzz around you, but don't land: Eucalyptus, peppermint, lemon, and clove. Because of the strength of the oils, they must be stored in glass, as they will soften a plastic container. (Now if I could just find a good repellent for poison oak!)

Meg Vogl

Dear Sandie:
I don't think it really matters which Eucalyptus is used (and they're all priced about the same), but think I used the Dives as it's what came in my starter kit. In my opinion, tho, I think the Clove oil is the most important of the four. I forgot to add it one year and we got bitten more often. After I added it, the mixture was much more effective. Thieves is also an excellent ingredient, but it is much more expensive than clove, and contains clove, so I didn't see the point of using it. In the beginning I diluted the oils in water to extend their use, but it had to be shaken every 30 seconds to maintain the emulsification, so I think a carrier oil would certainly work if you choose to use one. I've preferred to use it full strength, tho, because we have such a huge tick/Lymes issue in WI & MN I wanted it to be as potent a mixture as possible.
Meg Vogl

New to YLEO's....................................
At first my two younger kids (ages 8 and 10) balked at being slathered in oils several times a day, but two nights ago they started going through my oils themselves and they not only chose which they wanted to use, but they rubbed it on the back of their necks themselves. That was only after using the oils for a little over a week with them. Good progress! Probably one of the oils brought on that response. :)

I love YL oils! I just wish I had started using them sooner.
Chelsea

Floaters eliminated..............................
Linda,
I had had floaters for at least 20 years when I started with Young Living in 1999 so I know how annoying they can be. One of the first oils I started using was Frankincense around the eyes as I had read testimonials from people who had eliminated floaters by using Frankincense. It did for me too. Occasionally since then I'll notice a floater or two and a couple of days of Frankincense around the eyes takes care of it.

Best wishes,

I was with a friend who complained she was starting to get a herpes sore. Hurt, and a bit of redness, swelling. I had her put a bit of Exodus II essential oil blend on it. Went away entirely. One application.Now she wants her own Ex2 bottle.

Susan's note: This is also very good for throat infections---has high cinnamon, and tastes better than Thieves.

For bedsores.......................
My Mom got sick and was in the hospital 2 weeks last fall. They didn't move her enough and she came home with bed sores & bed bound after a stroke in the hospital.

I used Melrose to dry up the sores. She couldn't turn herself at all, so I had to turn her frequently. Even then I would sometimes see a red spot forming. Whenever I saw one, I would use a drop of Melrose. She was at home 6 months bedbound and, after the initial ones, never got another bed sore.

The visiting home nurses were amazed.

Mom died 6/1. I miss her every day.. I'm so glad I had YL oil to help me care for her.

If anyone's having trouble with the new YL shampoos, you might want to try this unusual suggestion......
Aloha Stephanie and Oilers...
I love all the YL Shampoos... my favorite was the Rosewood Shampoo and Conditioner...now my favorite is Copaiba/Vanilla.... Having long, thick, curly hair... I use a method that a beautician once told me... Instead of using the shampoo to clean my hair... I use the conditioner to wash my hair... for my conditioner I use either Organic coconut oil, safflower/sunflower oil or avocado oil which I leave in... before I started doing this... my hair was extremely dry and brittle as well as lots of greys.... now my hair is full and shiny and looks healthy with no grey hair...I also use Copaiba conditioner to bathe my skin... I have been dealing with a psoriasis flare-up and this has been helping tremendously (besides popping oil capsules !!) and it is clearing up nicely...I still use the same amount as I used with the other shampoos/conditioners... both hair and skin feel silky smooth :D...Have a Wonderful Weekend...

More on YL's new Signature Hair Care Line..................
Hi Pen-
The Vanilla/Copaiba Shampoo and Conditioner are for dry hair/dry scalp. I have always had very dry,brittle hair and my scalp always flaked. After using the Rosewood shampoo/conditioner my hair and scalp improved tremendously. I find the new vanilla/copaiba to do the same thing for me. They make my hair feel silky and smooth, no more flaky scalp. I use as little as possible, about the size of a nickel in my hand. I make sure my hair is saturated with water, rub my hands together with the shampoo, and then distribute it over my head and hair, then massage it in with my fingers. While I felt at first that I needed to use more than the Rosewood, after using about 2/3 of a bottle of the vanilla/copaiba, I find I am just using a little bit more, not much, and it lathers well.

About YL's heavenly White Angelica essential oil blend..................(includes the Mood Elevating Protocol)

Aloha Chelsea,

Thanks for asking. "Why White Angelica oil blend?" - I love the smell of White Angelica, for one thing. And I liked the concept that it gave an angelic/energy presence of protection around me - whether I believed that or not!

My Backstory: When I began in Young Living there was no Nine Everyday Oils kit, there was only the Essential Seven Oils kit, and I ordered that plus the White Angelica (because I liked it when I smelled it and I wanted to be sure I had a scent I "liked" too - even tho' the oil Joy - which is in the Essential Seven kit - has come to become my general favorite). And it took me some time to "like" the oils; I was nervous around them and didn't use them for probably a year! (And I even remember how I didn't particularly love their fragrances, too!) I don't think I really was "trained*", or, I was trained to be extremely "respectful" around them, and didn't feel comfortable using them. (I also remembered over and over again over the years reading about "essential oils" needing to be diluted etc. written on the sides of fragrance-type oil bottles, and I never felt comfortable doing that so I never used them except for fragrance, either.)

(*This gets me to thinking - "what" kind of training/information/education AM I GIVING to those who might order the oils from ME?)

Then, later, after I was using my oils, I found out about the Mood Elevating protocol from Vicki Opfer (my high up-line) and others have another nice name for it that I cannot currently think of! And this use of 4 oils is said to improve our moods, and I use it (when I think of it!) to help me feel happier! And I am so happy that White Angelica is in this
grouping of four oils.

The Mood Elevating protocol is: one or two drops each: drops of Valor on the soles of the feet, drops of Harmony on the solar plexus (below breasts-above belly button), drops of Joy on the heart and drops of White Angelica on the finger tips, brushing the shoulders/"wings" and head and whole field of the body. Inhaling the oils before application is good too. For me often the oils are very subtle, and I don't generally "notice" their work, so this application is a quiet use of oils that I like, and like smelling, and know that they are good for me in SO many ways!

In addition, if you check the oil-testimonials.com web site there are at least 10-20 testimonials from people using this oil! Giving even more suggestions for the use of it. So White Angelica is a good oil to have on hand, and people who deal with the public a lot, especially therapists and body workers, like to use it, to keep their own energy intact, and not overwhelmed by any others' negative energy.

Do enjoy your oils! The key is to USE them!

Aloha,
Stephanie Fitzpatrick

......more on negative-protection by White Angelica............
Hi Chelsea....
White Angelica is a beautiful oil blend that protects one from anything they are dealing with on an emotional or spiritual level... very grounding after having bodywork or energy work done. Protects from negativities one may encounter during the course of your day... taking a couple of drops in your palm, rubbing them clockwise to activate the oil and then brush it all over yourself or put your hands on the area on your body where you feel you need it. It is a very comforting oil... Have a wonderful week.
Teri :D

Read these and learn how to enhance your Abundance...............
Hi Fran,

Our family loves the Abundance oil and has so many success stories with it! I'll share just two of the highlights. My husband's company has been in business for 15 years. Last February, he started diffusing Abundance oil in his office all day long. By the third week of February, he had to unplug the diffuser because he brought in so much new business that month he hit the maximum increase that he could comfortably handle at any one time! It was his largest single month of sales ever.

The second story was from my daughter and her husband. They had an old pick-up truck that they had been trying to sell for about four months. They were running ads on Craigslist and had it parked in front of their home with a "For Sale" sign on it. There had been little interest shown by anyone. When talking to my daughter one day, she was expressing frustration that they would really like to get the truck sold. I suggested she go out and sprinkle some Abundance Oil on and in the truck. The next day she had 4 phone calls of interest on the truck and had it sold within 24 hours! One man that called said that he takes walks around that neighborhood every day, and this was the first time he noticed the "For Sale" sign.

In our family, the bottles pay for themselves.
Laura

Hi just wanted to share what happened today with abundance: I gave a drop of Abundance to everyone at a meeting at my church. One lady left and came back asking to buy some. She got 1/2 off prom dress (was $350) and parked free (expensive fees) unexpected so she said something to this oil and wanted to keep it going.

Billie Thomas

Dear Fran,
I have been using Abundance for about a week and having no idea where the extra money I need could come from. Tuesday I got a phone call from a man who has owed me money for years, saying that he is putting a check in the mail for me.
Ann

Hi Fran,
The first time I put Abundance on I got a letter saying I won the YL cruise (I didn't realize there was a contest) and I thought it was a joke! Turns out it was real and the trip was great.

The first time my son put on Abundance he hit his first home run (kindergarten). Now he won't take a test, go to a game, enter a competition without it. It has worked every time.

We also put a drop on my son's Pinewood Derby car for Cub Scouts and he got 3rd place--mind you he made the car by himself and most of the cars were made by or with the dads. So this was really amazing.

There are more that I can't think of now.

All the best,
Carrie

Hi Fran,
Abundance is said to have a frequency that attracts abundance into ones' life. I believe it because it has worked for me in numerous ways. I believe that one of the things with it is, though, that you MUST indicate your INTENTIONS when using this oil. What I mean with it is, that if you have positive intentions you attract positive abundance of what you focus on , if you have negative thought when using this oil, you can attract an abundance of that to you. Example: If you dwell on a lack of time to complete something, you might attract just that. If on the other hand you focus on always having plenty of time to accomplish a task, you attract plenty of time. Same with money or with finding a job. BTW, while focusing on attracting a job, I suggest you focus on attracting the perfect job for you which is bringing rewards and achievement to all who are part of the job. Don't be too specific, but rather allow the Universe to give you a great job that makes you and all involved happy and of benefit to all involved. (That includes your boss, your co-workers, you and the customers or recipients of what you do.)

Somebody sent a fax about the YL's Abundance oil and I figured I had not seen or smelled Abundance in so long, if ever, I wanted to smell it. When the oil came, I put some on me and within a few minutes after putting it on for the first time, 4 people asked me what that fragrance was. Then they asked where to get it. I gave them my phone number and they called me the next day and all 4 ordered. I was in business and since achieved GOLD rank and not only have a flourishing business, I also made wonderful friends among YL members I met over the years and maybe best of all, the education I gained from conventions and other educational meeting with YL gave me an amazing knowledge of health and how to stay well.

Here's another little example: On a rainy day, dropping off my grandson in front of his preschool, he asked me if he could get a drop of Abundance oil so he'd smell nice. I put some on him and he happily jumped out of the car. Went 2 steps and bent down to retrieve something. There, soaked but perfectly fine, he had found a $5 bill. Over the years, I have had many similar "finds".

Again, the intention must be positive in order to attract an abundance of what ever positive things you like to attract.

Consider that a wonderful job is just a whiff away!

Margarete
Susan's note: I put drops of Abundance on my wrist EVERY day! Would not start the day without it! And put it on specifically for "wishes" I want to manifest! A magnificent essential oil! One of the most successful distributors in my YL downline smelled Abundance oil on the envelope (I put it on all my YL correspondence!) of my initial invitation to him to join YL (in 1996), and smelling it was the reason he opened the package after putting it aside for several days.

She will "never change shampoos!"........................
Hi everyone!
I'd like to report results on hair & this new product. Yesterday I was at a friend's house who is also in YL. She has long brown hair to her waist. She told me it was getting very coarse, frizzy & dry, she tried a lot of different shampoos from the store over the past few months, nothing helped. Finally she bought YLs new Copaiba Vanilla shampoo & conditioner. After about 10 days & 3 shampoos, her hair is soft, silky, shiny & no longer coarse & dry. She was so excited. She let me feel her hair, it is amazing how soft & silky it is. She said she'd never change shampoos!

This will be the next shampoo I buy!

Have a GREAT day!
Liz Moore
Susan's note: I LOVE this new shampoo and conditioner!!! My hair is silky, soft too! Smells so vanilla-y and delicious!

When rose thorns cause infection............................
Dear Oilers,

I was trimming off the dead roses on my climbing rose bush last Saturday without gloves and I got pricked by a thorn enough to draw a bit of blood. Didn't think anything about it until 3 hours later when my hand just throbbed with deep pain and my skin was red and inflamed and my joints were stiff. I initially put panaway on but it didn't touch the pain. Later I put the Magic Relief oil blend which helped the pain a bit.

The next morning I was telling my husband about it and he said his dad once got poked by a rose thorn and almost had to have part of his finger amputated. So, I got online to research what this reaction was. Found out that there is a rose-thorn or rose-gardener disease caused by the infection of the fungus Sporothrix schenckii.This fungal disease usually affects the skin, although other rare forms can affect the lungs, joints, bones, and even the brain. Very serious stuff!

I very quickly looked up anti-fungal oils in my EODR and put melaleuca alternafolia (tea tree oil) (geranium was also listed) on my hand. After 3 applications throughout the day, my pain almost completely diminished. Thank you YLEO!

I'm posting this so other gardeners will wear gloves when dealing with roses.

Blessings,

Increase in aerobic capacity in lungs............................
Hi Izabella!
I had a patient a few months ago with "valley fever" (fungal lung infection) and we had great success with her. She went through a series of Raindrops (probably 10 or 12), we used suppositories with the single oils from the raindrop protocol, and she diffused Raven and RC alternating daily. Most of the "spots" evident in her lungs on x-ray and CT scan resolved over the 6 to 8 weeks we worked on this, and her breathing and aerobic capacity has returned to about 90% of what it was.

I should mention that I was working on her because she had exhausted the amount of antifungals she could tolerate...her liver enzymes were too elevated to continue Rx antifungal treatments. Throughout her 6 weeks on the antifungals she felt more sick, and she continued to add "spots" on her x-rays.

Hope this helps!

After reading the comprehensive guide, users find themselves understanding essential oils like never before."
David Stewart, Ph.D., author of Healing Oils of the Bible

LAVENDER OIL
Thought you might need this list about lavender. It includes some ways my friends and I are using the lavender oil:

- University researchers in Japan found that diffusing certain aromas in an office environment dramatically improved mental accuracy and concentration. Diffused lavender resulted in 20 percent fewer errors (diffused lemon was 54 percent and jasmine was 33 percent fewer errors. (EODR, published January 2009)

- Lavender oil is often referred to as the "universal oil" because it has so many uses.

- There are hundreds of scientific studies about lavender essential oil. Visit the U.S. National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health online at http://www.pubmed.gov

- Lavender essential oil has been known to possess balancing, calming, and uplifting properties.

- Rubbing Lavender oil on my feet cause a calming effect.

- Rubbing a drop of Lavender oil on my palms and smoothed on my pillow helps me sleep.

- Putting 2-3 drops of Lavender oil on minor burns – always helps! Dropping Lavender on a cut to soothe it.

- Rubbing Lavender oil on dry or chapped to bring relief.

- Rubbing a drop of Lavender oil on chapped or sunburned lips to help discomfort.

- Has helped in reducing/minimizing the appearance of scar tissue (massaging lavender oil on and around the area.)

- Rubbing 2 – 4 drops of Lavender oil over my armpit area to act as a deodorant.

- Rubbing a drop of Lavender oil between your palms and inhaling deeply to help in alleviating the discomfort of airborne pollen and/or dust.

- Rubbing several drops of Lavender oil into the scalp has helped with flaking.

- Placing a few drops of Lavender oil on a cotton ball and placing in my linen closet to scent the linens (love it.)

- Placing a few drops of Lavender oil on a wet cloth and throwing into the dryer, to deodorize and freshen my laundry.

- Diffusing Lavender oil supports the body’s natural defenses against air borne sensitivities to the skin and immune system.

- Spritzing several drops of Lavender oil mixed with distilled water on a sunburn helps soothe it.

- Dropping Lavender oil into my bath for calming, and soothing stress.

Young Living's purity allows us to be able to take it internally which is something I would never do with other brands on the market. Here are a couple of fun recipe for cooling down in summer's heat.

PREPARING FOR SUMMER COLD AND FLU
Susan's note: And I know from a week-ago-experience that summer colds are a reality!
* * *
A FEW TIPS:

According to experts, "Proper hand washing is one of the most effective methods of preventing the spread of flu". Is it possible to "properly" wash your hands in a gas station or restaurant rest room with cold water and yucky pink soap? Try carrying around a little bottle of Thieves Spray and use liberally throughout the day! It works great to nip a sore throat in the bud, too!

Spend time in a crowded office or school where you are exposed to lots of people sneezing and coughing? For added protection, carry around the new Thieves Hard Lozenges along with your Thieves Spray and your emergency oil arsenal.

Try alternating Thieves Oil and ImmuPower Oil on the bottom of your feet at bedtime throughout the cold and flu season. These complementary oil blends provide a wide range of anti-bacterial and anti-viral germ-busting action.

Drink NingXia Red daily and carry around some sample packets to super charge your system whenever you need an extra boost.

Get that old diffuser out of the closet and start diffusing. This is no time for closet diffusers!

Consult your Essential Oils Desk Reference.

Most important: Be prepared and stock up--you won't get the MAXIMUM benefit if you don't have your oils and products readily available when you need them most. Carry some oils with you at all times. Time and time again, many of us have found that when you get the oils on you and in you when a situation first arises (whether a cold or sore throat is coming on, or you have an accident), there is a greater chance of stopping the progression of the situation before it picks up a full head of steam.

Susan's note: As I mentioned in last week's Bits, when I felt the tell-tale sign of a sore throat coming on, I put drops of melaleuca alternafolia and Melrose essential oils in my mouth, swished and swallowed. And, the cold lasted only 2 days. (My husband had it over a week.)

2011-06-28T15:28:00.000-05:00

Hello All,
I am particularly excited, this Bits, with one woman's extensive testimonial about using NingXia Red on 2 different occasions to increase blood volume. It is said that red fruits and vegetables are especially good for the heart and blood. The color of NingXia Red is deep, rich, velvety red---fruit blood. NingXiaRed is the free promo this month of June with any 180pv or more order.

Last week I caught a terrible sore throat, cold. I haven't been sick for 2-1/2 years so this was a surprise I wasn't ready for (ie, consume entire box of Thieves Soft Lozenges, plus many essential oils, to hit it in early stages). So the "bug" was well-established when I finally thought of ingesting oils. Before bed I put 2 drops of melaleuca alternafolia and 2 drops of Melrose on my tongue, swished around and swallowed with water The next morning all the throat, neck painful symptoms were gone.

The "bug" was broken. The bad affects only lasted 1 day---when I Finally remembered to blast them with my oils arsenal!

Warmest regards,

NingXia Red, the blood builder...............................
Hi Peggy and All,

Based on 2 separate experiences where doctors told me I urgently needed a blood transfusion, I believe that NingXia Red is a phenomenal blood builder.

In January of 2010 I delivered our 7th child and the nurse somehow completely missed that I was significantly hemorrhaging. By the time my OB caught it, I was starting to black out, which basically just looked like I was extremely exhausted and kept falling asleep. In fact, that's all I thought it was too, even though I had just had a really easy delivery.

An emergency blood test revealed that my H&H (hemoglobin and hematocrit) levels were critically low and my husband and I were told I needed a blood transfusion right away. That news shocked me back to consciousness just enough to say "Give me 24 hours." The OB said, "You may not have 24 hours. I said, "Give me 24 hours" to the OB and told my husband to start opening the
NingXia Red packets.

I downed 10 oz of NingXia Red in about 15 minutes, in between short periods of blacking out. I also rubbed about 30 drops of Helichrysum externally over my uterine area and put several drops under my tongue with the intent to stop the bleeding. I also took 3 capsules of cayenne pepper (which I've since learned would probably have been more effective added directly in water or
other liquid, not capsules).

Within about 15 minutes I was fully conscious, though still tired and very, very pale, but mentally present and able to hold and nurse my baby, with my husband right by my side just in case.

I had my mom bring up many more NingXia Red packets, probably 15 or 20 or so and I continued to drink them throughout the rest of that day. Every couple hours, they kept drawing my blood, closely monitoring my H&H which progressively got better throughout the day, which I believe is pretty miraculous. Secretly I think the doctors thought so too but I think they were more concerned about the fact that they did not do the transfusion even though my numbers had been below the "tranfuse" level and were still concerned that something might happen where they could have lost their patient.

Anyway, that was a huge NingXia Red miracle in a very short period of time. I believe the Helichrysum and possibly cayenne pepper helped stop the bleeding while the NingXia Red rebuilt my blood significantly, well within 24 hours.

Then in January of this year, I had jaw surgery to remove necrotic, infected bone from botched wisdom teeth extractions ~ 13 years ago that never healed properly. Wisdom teeth (and surrounding area) in holistic dentistry corresponds directly with the Large Intestine.

24 hours after surgery, diarrhea started and continued for 3 days. The end of the 3rd day I started seeing bright red blood (in the diarrhea) and I started experiencing cramping (pain), so I started using a little Helichrysum externally over my intestines. The bleeding and cramping continued into Day 4 and were increasing throughout the day and I increased my use of Helichrysum externally over my intestine area and several drops in my mouth throughout the day. I also used PanAway externally to help ease the cramping pain. Day 5 the bleeding, cramping, and diarrhea became so intense that I felt like I was starting to lose too much blood and needed to go to the ER to make sure it wasn't something serious that needed medical/surgical intervention, as up to this point I was pretty sure it was something emotional and/or related to my jaw surgery, and my holistic dentist agreed it was time to go to the ER.

I was admitted to the hospital and extensive tests (blood, scans, and other GI tests) over 24 hours revealed little, but the diarrhea, bleeding and cramping continued. Before long, a nurse came in and told me I needed to sign a consent form for a blood transfusion. I'd been focussing so much on trying to heal whatever it was emotionally that I had somehow forgotten about how I'd used NingXia Red during delivery exactly 1 year prior. I told her to give me 24 hours. She told me I might not have 24 hours. I refused the transfusion and had my husband bring me a bottle of NingXia Red and some cayenne pepper. Now knowing that there wasn't anything physically wrong (as long as that they could see, and there wasn't anything else physically I needed to worry about or address) I upped my usage of Helichrysum (I'd been using it and several other oils, but somewhat sparingly as I was in a hospital, had a roommate, and didn't want the smells to get me in trouble. I also upped the cayenne pepper (again, to try to stop the bleeding) and drank the entire bottle of NingXia over about 4-6 hours.

My H&H levels again significantly improved in less than 12 hours, I believe directly due to the NingXia Red and they stopped talking about transfusion. I was released from the hospital after the bleeding and diarrhea stopped and my blood levels returned to near-normal. The doctors had done nothing to stop the bleeding or diarrhea, had done nothing to rebuild my blood and don't have a good diagnosis for what happened. These things resolved "all on their own" and they were completely baffled. :)

So I firmly believe that NingXia Red is great for building the blood. Platelets help clot the blood and I certain needed to stop bleeding in both instances. I feel like the NingXia Red had more of an impact both times than the oils and cayenne pepper did.

Blessings,
Carrie

NingXia Red "body saturation" protocol..................
NingXia Red is the only way to go. Start with the body saturation protocol where you drink 4 bottles in one month that is 4oz per day. Then go to 3 then 2 then continue on 1. I don't have that serious of a problem but my night vision is greatly improved with the use of this wonderful anti-oxidant drink.

Go to YouTube and search for NingXia Red and you'll find tons of info about this wonderful product.

Forgiveness essential oil blend......................
Hi Katie,
I have a grandson that has herpes in his eye since he was 2, he is now almost 20. When I first used YL almost 6 years ago he had about 3-4 bouts of pain every 3-4 weeks, in his eye, having to be in a dark room with pillow over eye. He missed a lot of school because of it. It was caused by the same virus as shingles. At this point the doctors had told my son to wait until he was 14 and they would do a corneal transplant. We then went to a chiropractor and with that and nutritional support it helped but it was expensive and eventually he quit. Just after I started using the oils, I went to my son's house with book and oils in hand, and looked up every oil to help with viruses. I found that 95% of the oils in the blend Forgiveness were anti viral. We started putting it around my grandson's eye, and in 3 days he was pain free. That was 6 years ago and he doesn't have any problems with that eye. If he notices the eye is starting to feel different, he goes back to Forgiveness oil.
Blessings,
Kathleen

Equine first aid......................
Sherry....

My horse had a small gash on his hip (from going into his stall too quickly and caught himself on the sliding bolt latch). It was fairly deep, maybe 1/2 inch or so and about three inches long - some may have thought he'd needstitches.

Anyway, I used Animal Scents ointment and LavaDerm Spray. First I sprayed the LavaDerm then applied a decent amount of ointment in and around the gash twice a day for about three days then I applied once a day. It was healing within the first few days and didn't develop proud flesh, no scarring and no white hairs!!

I've used this another time on his chest. It looked like he had a small puncture in his chest, maybe from a branch or something out in the pasture. I had the same great result.

Good luck to you and your girl.

~Rebecca
Susan's note: LavaDerm Spray is good for all skin conditions, very healing and cooling. I LOVE to spray it on sunburns! Takes away the sting instantly! (I was in Utah at a Leadership meeting in 1998, when Gary Young first introduced LavaDerm. He demonstrated its effectiveness on a burn he had someone "inflict" on his arm with a soldering iron. His skin sizzled, and I smelled the burning flesh. The immediate application of LavaDerm stopped the pain, and even the scarring. You could barely see anything on the skin---and the iron was pressed into the skin, leaving a visible mark. LavaDerm is not only one of my favorite YL products, but also a must-have in every first aid kit!

Scar-B-Gone Recipe
~^~ by Nancy Sanderson*

Here is a formula that I created and it has done wonders for scars. Read the testimonies below of some who have used it.

SCAR-B-GONE RECIPE

10 drops Helichrysum Oil
6 drops Lavender Oil
8 drops Lemongrass Oil
4 drops Patchouly Oil
5 drops Myrrh Oil
. . . mixed with 1 oz. V-6.

I made this blend for a little 3 year old girl who had fallen out of bed and scraped her forearm just below the elbow. The scrape enlarged until her parents had to take her to a doctor. They found out that it was staph infection that had incubated since her hospital birth. Antibiotics didn't help so they had to scrape the bone before it would heal. This procedure caused a lot of scar tissue, and she could not bend her arm without crying out in pain.

Her dad asked me what could help her and I told him I would do some research to see if I could come up with something. I studied my books and notes from Gary's classes and came up with the Scar-B-Gone blend. After a week of using this blend I asked him how she was doing and he
started to cry, "Thank you, Thank you, she can run and play without hurting her arm now."

LIKE SHE NEVER HAD THEM
Four years ago I was doing a winter fair and several teenage girls stopped by my booth and one of the girls had horrible scar tissue on her neck, chest and on her forehead. She had surgery and the scars grew. I told her about this blend, made it up and gave it to her, asking her to let me know if it worked.

The next spring, when doing the winter fair again, two girls stopped by my booth and I overheard one of them say, "These are the oils I was telling you about."

I asked her what she knew about Young Living and she said, "Do you remember giving my friend some oil for her scars?" I said, "Yes, how is she doing?" "Great," she replied, "She used the oil blend you gave her,and all her scars are gone. It's like she never had them. WOW!!!!!"

SCAR FORMULA HELPS FINGER TIPS

Hi, Nancy,
I think the scar formula is helping! This is REALLY fun. I have been using it 2 weeks 3x a day and my Mom has been using 1 week. We are both seeing improvement, with newer scars improving fastest. They seem to dissolve from underneath, flattening out and becoming a little more diffuse around the edges. Amazing.

I also notice that if I rub the formula around my raggedy cuticles at night it seems like it is dissolving them. It also helped the tips of my fingers where I had painful splitting and cracking heal quickly.
Thanks, Deb

Warmest regards,

A miraculous recovery with YLEO's....................
It would be no exaggeration to say that these divinely provided oils have been, on many occasions, life saving. One example of many: in Wisconsin a 14 year old boy was flown to the hospital by medivac after becoming a victim of drowning. He was pronounced “brain dead” by his doctors and the parents were told that their son would remain in a comatose state and would die within days. The doctors recommended “pulling the plug” to life support immediately, however the father defiantly refused. My friend, Diana Ewald, provided the young living oils for them: trauma life, legacy, r.c., peppermint, peace and calming, awaken, aroma life, and thieves. Although his parents had no knowledge or previous experience with the essential oils, they faithfully applied them and diffused them around the clock, with the assistance of the nursing staff. His monitors demonstrated improvements immediately and he continually progressed until within two months the doctors released him to his parents’ home care. He has continually improved, and now eight months later, his new doctors have given him a prognosis of eventual full recovery. Thank you Diana Ewald for sharing this remarkable story.

Dorado azul--"I never want to be without it!!!"...........
To Betty & all Pinehiller's:

I experience lymphatic obstruction(lymphedema) throughout my body due to 20+ surgeries all along my lymphatic pathways. When I heard Gary talk of this oil a few years ago, I knew it was for me. Then I got to experience it in MN at the Grand Convention. In my experience, it works amazingly good for the lympatic system as werll as my hormones. I call it my "happy oil." I carry a nasal inhaler with Dorado Azul in my purse & use it when I feel pooling anywhere in my body.

After my last MLD(manual lymph drainage) treatment, I shared one drop with my therapist who also has lymphedema & she said in less than one minute that it opened up her Cysterna Chylee which is in the gut. It is a key part of the lymph system. She too was amazed at the power of this oil. I normally don't do well in the heat as it causes internal swelling and pooling. It has been about 90 degrees here and I am doing quite well. I sleep with compression garments on my entire body as well as wear them all day. I have slept for two nights without these garments. This is a HUGE accomplishment. i did wake up this morning with some pooling in the back of my thigh though. I put one drop of Dorado Azul on my thigh and to my delight the pooled fluid melted away like butter on a hot plate.

I notice that inhaling Dorado Azul works better for me than just putting it on my body. My therapist put her one drop on the back of her head at the LC point.

I LOVE Dorado Azul and never want to be without it!!! It makes sense that natives would use it for cancer if it opens up the lymph system the way it does. A clogged lymph system leads to all kinds of illness including cancer. I hope this helps.

Susan's note: Dorado Azul Essential Oil (Guayofolis officionalis) ~ rich in eucalyptol and beta pinene, Dorado Azul has powerful purifying properties, improves digestion and enhances mood.It has a red liquid when distilled and the natives use it to reverse cancer. Gary Young rediscovered Dorado Azul in Ecuador as he was searching for additional land to grow plants for essential oil production. The strong aromatic nature of the plant prompted Gary to stop his vehicle and study the plant. Dorado Azul essential oil is the result of Gary’s rediscovery. Dorado Azul is a plant that grows to a height of thirteen feet and is ready for oil production when the normally green leaves turn a purple hue. The one-inch stalks are cut and prepared for distillation at Young Living’s Ecuador farm, Finca Botánica Aromática. This Ecuadorian essential oil has high levels of beta caryophyllene, which supports normal respiratory and digestive function.

YLEO's for brain injuries..............................
Hi Georgia,
I have the Higley Book & for brain injury, it says to diffuseFrankincense & Valor & massage them on the brain stem.
Kim
...added by Nancy Ziganti....
Frankincense with sesquiterpines crosses the blood brain barrier, and according to Gary Young, repairs DNA. It would be my first choice in a similar situation.
......also..........
I'd use both Frankincense and Sacred Frankincense and add Copaiba as it enhances the other oils. Plus, ph balance, etc.
Blessings, Melody

Pancreatic growth...................
My mother had a growth on her pancreas...physician could not determine just what the growth was without doing surgery which she opted not to do. She used frankincense over the area and the growth went away, much to the surprise of the physician
Be well, Jeannie

Just put Rose oil on followed by Abundance ~ Wow!
It came to me in the middle of the night last night to combine these two oils… Did you know that Rose therapeutic grade essential oil has the highest frequency of any substance? It helps bring balance and harmony allowing one to overcome insecurities, creating asense of welll-being.

Abundance therapeutic grade essential oil blend enhances the frequency of the energy field surrounds us through stimulation of the somatides. Somatides transmit frequency fromt hecells to the environment when stimulated through fragrance and thoughts. This frequency creates the “law of attraction”, a harmonic magnet energy field around oneself. When focusing on issues of abundance and inhaling this oil, a memory link to the RNA template is created where memory is blueprinted and permanently transcribed. ~ Essential Oils Desk Reference, 4th Edition

I AM a magnet attracting the highest vibrations to me!

Pain goes to -0- immediately...............
Hi all!

Yesterday I was hosting an essential oil event, and a woman in it reported that she had a frozen shoulder. Her pain was an '8' on a scale of 1-10. She had been getting massages to help, but still had limited movement and pain. This was an added problem since she is a yoga teacher.

I had just brushed up on my Dorado Azul info, and read that D.A. + Idaho balsam fir "makes muscle pain history." So I applied those two oils and, just for good measure, added copaiba on top.

Her pain went to ZERO almost immediately, and she began to wave the arm - that previously she had been unable to raise above her shoulder - above her head in joy.

To vibrant health and happiness for all,
Susan L. Atchison
Susan's note: Dorado azul is 50% off when ocotea is purchased. (Both dorado azul and ocotea are Ecuadorian rain forest oils---available only through YL. My YL partner and friend, Theresa Legarie said that the aroma of ocotea is the best.)

Positive changes using YL products for liver health........

I retain water and that is starting to go away too. Wow. My frustration levels are going down.

YL's new shampoo.........
One of the things I love about the new Lavender Mint shampoo is its ability to keep bugs from being attracted to hair.

Warts - trying different oils for different virus'..............
Jane,
My husband has suffered from warts since teenage years. After having the "granddaddy" wart removed, they went away for several years. A while ago they started coming back. He used oregano oil, and they all went away. Very recently they have starting coming back again. He tried oregano oil again but it didn't work this time. After trying several different combinations, he has found that straight clove oil is working, fantastically actually. The warts are disappearing even faster than with using oregano oil before. I agree that trying different anti-viral oils is a good idea, as different bodies respond differently. Also, we put the oil neet in a roll on bottle. We have found that to be the easiest way to apply the oils to the warts. It's clean and reduces oil waste considerably. Hope this helps!

another tip, from Betsey--an itcy one.......................
Gail,
A while back my grandmother was in the hospital having a knee replacement done. After the surgery she had horribly itchy feet. My mom put peppermint oil on them and the itching went away almost immediately. I have used peppermint oil for itching as well, both bug bites and random itching.
*Betsey Keefe, LMT*

....interesting.....
Dear Gail and YLEOilers:
My 90 year old mother has suffered w/itchy legs for decades! I made up a roll-on bottle of peppermint, lavender and purification. She applied to the itchy area w/no relief. She remembered me talking applying to the bottom of the feet, so she started doing that and no more itch! So, so simple!

Purifying hot tubs.......................
Hi-
I have a hot tub, not a pool. However, I scoured the archives to find information on using the oils instead of chemicals. The one thing you need to be careful with, as we discovered the hard way, is do not use too much of the oils. A little goes a long way. We have a 680 gallon hot tub. We put in about 10 drops of Geranium, into the water, and about 1/4 cup of baking soda to keep the alkalinity down. We adjust as needed. We soak the filter in about 15 gallons of water and 1 capful of Thieves Household Cleaner and then hose it down well with a high pressure hose. So far so good. I guess for a pool you'd have to adjust the amounts up, but check the archives, as I'm sure there must be people using oils for their pools as well. Good luck.

Knotted muscles.......................
Have you tried YL's Believe essential oil blend. I use this with many of my massage clients and it is very effective for knotted muscles.
Janet Ballingham

Relaxing spasming back...................
Mary Lou,
Hi! Sorry about your back problems. As a massage therapist, I use mostly basil and cypress on the area that is spasming. Always works like a charm and quickly, too. Cypress seems to work faster at relaxing the muscle, but the basil does it's own thing in helping,too.
Cindy

"Miraculous healing"............................
I personally witnessed a miraculous healing when a black foot scheduled for amputation turned pink when Cypress was used to annoint the foot, and with prayer, the foot was saved.

For cravings.................
I find YL's Mineral Essence wonderful to combat cravings!

Finding out about what defines a quality essential oil, + breakdown of each oil chemically , & more.............
Dear Happy Oilers;
First recommendation on anybody's list is to consult ANYTHING Dr. David Stewart has written on the subject. www.abundanthealth4u.com [1] has all his books. For the pharmacist, Dr. Stewart's book explaining the breakdown of each oil chemically and the benefits from each major is essential. He also publishes much information on this subject in his newsletter for CARE, the organization that teaches the Raindrop Technique, and the archives on the site has a very extensive article on what defines a quality oil. In fact the archives of the site www.rainbowmessenger.com [2], his site for RT is loaded with articles on the technical side of essential oils.
