Magnify your purpose

Wow what a name! Magnify your purpose is one of my favorite Young Living blends, I use it during meditation, when I undertake a big project or simply when I want to feel inspired. This delicious essential oil blend contains sandalwood, rosewood, sage, nutmeg, patchouli, cinnamon bark and ginger. It is a perfect balance of light flowery fragrance, with spice and earthiness.

Sage and sandalwood help calm, clear and inspire your busy mind making space for quiet moments of relaxation and new ideas. Apply a drop to your wrists and to your palms, cup your nose with your hands.  Inhale slowly through the nose and exhale through the mouth. Focus on positive thoughts, see yourself as you would like to be or better yet think nothing. Enjoy the quiet even for just a few seconds. Once you are done with your meditation, write down five things you are grateful for and do this daily if you can. You might slowly notice a shift in your reality, over time difficult things might seem easier and you might realize the importance of giving you the time you deserve. It’s all about finding balance speed and multitasking is fine as long as you can give yourself time to regularly do something you truly enjoy preferable something that does not involve loud noises, a screen or intense stimulation.

Enjoy!

Magnify your purpose is sold in 5ml bottles Customer price: $41.78 – click here to find out how to get a 24% discount on this oil and all YL products.

Stop nosebleeds with Essential Oils

Here is a great tip brought back from the recent Young Living convention. “My oldest son has a nose bleed, so I put Cypress oil on his arm. It goes into the veins very quickly and his nose bleed stops.” Cypress is a delightful oil used in Raindrop technique for it’s effect on the circulatory system.

We observe our children, and we know when they are getting sick.  This is the time to act. We put several drops of Thieves or Immupower under their feet. And more often than not they feel better within 12 to 48hours.

Essential Oils for Snoring

Attention all you partners of snorers:
Here are some oils that have worked well for some in reducing or stopping snoring. Now these may not work for everyone but it sure is worth trying don’t you think?
Here are two solutions gathered from testimonials I have received recently:
“Valor on the feet at bedtime has usually done the trick to stop my husband’s snoring and apnea.
If I was snoring, I’d be using a drop of RC oil under my nose, and a drop of Thyme oil under my big toes. These are the 2 regimes that I’ve heard the most positive results from with snorers.”
Valor is a beautiful blend that contains oils of Spruce (Picea mariana), rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora), blue tansy (Tanacetum annuum) and frankincense (Boswellia carteri) in a base of almond oil
RC is perfect for sinus pain, allergies and anything impacting your breathing. This blends contains Eucalyptus globulus leaf oil, myrtus communis oil, pinus sylvestris (pine) leaf oil, origanum majorana (marjoram) leaf oil, eucalyptus radiata leaf oil, eucalyptus citriodora leaf oil, lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oil, cupressus sempervirens oil, tsuga canadensis leaf oil, and mentha piperita (peppermint) oil.
Thyme is a “hot” oil and should be diluted with a couple drops of vegetable oil before being applied to the skin.
If ever you experience any burning rinse the essential oil with vegetable oil, never use water as this will only help spread the oil.
Enjoy and let me know if any of these tips have helped you!

Benefits of Raindrop Technique

The Raindrop Technique was developed about 20 years ago by Dr. Gary Young, founder of Young Living Essential Oils after spending some time with a Lakota medicine man.  Raindrop technique uses a sequence of nine highly immune enhancing essential oils that lightly massaged onto the feet and the soft tissues of the back. This light yet powerful technique stimulates energy impulses and disperses the oils along the nervous system throughout the entire body.

Benefits or Raindrop Technique:

  1. Assists in reducing painBenefits of Raindrop Technique
  2. Assists in reducing inflammation
  3. Helps improve circulation
  4. Assists in ridding the body of bacterial and viral causes of spinal misalignment, including scoliosis and kyphosis
  5. Helps relieve stress
  6. Stimulates immune function
  7. Works on multiple levels providing a physical,mental and emotional cleanse

Raindrop Technique assist in bringing the body back into balance by clearing and re-aligning major energy centers. On a purely physical level, Raindrop Technique helps reduce spinal inflammation, creating an inhospitable environment for viruses that hibernate along the spinal column thus assisting in straightening any spinal curvatures. It is not rare for a person to gain a few eights of an inch after a Raindrop Technique session as the spine has been re-aligned and stimulated.

Although a session lasts about 45 minutes to an hour, the oils will continue to work in the body for a minimum of a week following the treatment.

Raindrop Technique oils:

Valor – A special blend from YL that works on electrical and energy alignment of the body. The key to using this blend of oils is patience. Once the frequencies begin to balance in these areas, then a structural alignment can occur. This is the most important oil used in this application.

Thyme – One of the most antiseptic essential oils. It contains thymol, which has been studied for its effect on gingivitis and plaque causing organisms in the mouth. It may be beneficial in helping to overcome fatigue and exhastion. This essential oil can easily penetrate the body, and may help kill any bacteria that may be present. Supplies energy during times of stress and physical weakness.

Oregano – Works similarly to thyme but is more aggressive and may help stimulate the immune system, balance metabolism and strengthen the vital centers of the body.

Wintergreen – Contains the same active ingredient (methyl salicylate) as birch and is beneficial for massage associated with bone, muscle, and joint discomfort. Elevates and increases awareness on sensory system.

Cypress – One of the oils most used to support the circulatory system.

Peppermint – One of the oldest and most highly reguarded herbs for soothing digestion. Peppermint has been found to improve mental accuracy, and sooth the respiratory system. Jean Valnet M.D., studied peppermint’s effect on the liver and respiratory systems. Other scientists have also researched peppermint’s role in affecting impaired taste and smell when inhaled. Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati studied peppermint’s ability to directly affect the brain’s satiety center, which triggers a sense of fullness after meals.

Basil – Can be relaxing to muscles, including smooth muscles (those not subject to our voluntary control, such as the heart and digestive system). It may also be used to soothe insect bites when applied topically. Beneficial for mental fatigue, basil may help stimulate and sharpen the sense of smell.

Marjoram – Used for calming the respiratory system and assists in relieving spasms and relaxing the muscles. It also assists in calming the nerves and is an antiseptic.

Aroma Siez – This special YL blend of essential oils may help relax, calm and relieve tight, sore, tired, and aching muscles resulting from sports injuries, fatigue and stress.

Raindrop technique is offered by Certified Aromatherapists and Massage Therapists all over the world and should always be performed using therapeutic grade 100% pure Essential oils.

Essential oil get rid of Strep throat – testimonial

Ever have strep throat and not want to do the whole antibiotic thing? Here’s what one person did, with great results:

My 6 year old had strep last year. He had 103 temp with white patches on the back of his throat….I decided to try the YL products first before I tried antibiotics. I am soooo happy I did.

This is what we did:

1. I dropped 1 drop of lemon on the back of his throat ( I think he let me do this twice in one day)

2. Then I dropped a couple drops of Thieves in honey and had him suck on that – about 1 TBS.

3. I also made a some warm tea with honey, Thieves and Lemon and had him sip on that. (In fact, I have this mixture with added RC every morning for myself).

4. I was also applying Thieves to his throat and feet.**

By the next morning he was pretty much back to normal. Hope that helps!

Jordan R., RN

Remember, Thieves and the oils in it are all highly antimicrobial…in fact, Thieves has been tested at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, and found to have a 99.996% kill rate against all airborne bacteria. And in November 2006, The University of Manchester published findings from their extensive research on essential oils versus the hospital super bug MRSA. In every case study it was found that Thieves ingredients 100% destroyed MRSA. What’s more, it’s been shown that no virus is able to replicate in clove oil, used in Thieves, or indeed in many other essential oils.

Are you diffusing Thieves in your home and/or office? It’s so easy to do…it keeps your environment clear of “bugs” and smells so yummy!

Check out all the products in the Thieves line…I use them all in my home (toothpaste, mouthwash, household cleaner, spray, ..love them!).

**NOTE: Applied topically to OUTSIDE of throat! Also note that undiluted Thieves oil can be “hot” on sensitive skin. Try diluting it at least 50-50 with vegetable oil before using topically…75% veg oil to 25% Thieves with young children.

Frankincense and Cancer cells

Here is an article from the Oklahoman newspaper about research at the University of Oklahoma using frankincense on bladder cancer cells:

http://www.newsok.com/article/3354293

“Lin said lab testing found an extract of the Somali frankincense tree Boswellia carteri can kill off bladder cancer cells, while leaving normal cells intact.”

The lead researcher, Dr. H. K. Lin, presented his findings at Young Living’s convention in June.  Guess whose frankincense oil he is using for his research—because it’s known to be the purest oil available?? You got it—Young Living’s!

Dr. Lin also said he thought that, based on what he has seen in his research, he thinks everyone should be using frankincense as a form of “chemoprevention.”

Here is yet another recent article on the bbc about Frankincense:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8505251.stm

So how would you go about using Frankincense every day?  You may want to start by taking a Longevity softgel everyday and you can also put a drop in your palm and inhale this powerful oil morning and night.

I love the smell and I love the way it makes me feel, inside and out. “Fit for a king…” and a blessing for all of us.

Longevity™ softgels are a potent, proprietary blend of fat-soluble antioxidants. Longevity blend should be taken daily to strengthen the body’s systems to prevent the damaging effects of aging, diet, and the environment.* Enriched with the pure essential oils thyme, orange, and now frankincense, Longevity protects DHA levels, a nutrient that supports brain function and cardiovascular health, promotes healthy cell regeneration, and supports liver and immune function.* Longevity also contains clove oil, nature’s strongest antioxidant, for ultra antioxidant support.

Cypress essential oil for nosebleeds…and more

The oil of Cypress, which can be so helpful for all kinds of circulation issues including edema and varicose/spider veins, is also helpful for stopping nosebleeds!  This was explained at the Young Living Convention in a fantastic class by Dr. Peter Minke on emergency first aid with the oils.  Here is what one YL member says about how it works for her family:

Cypress for nosebleeds! My 12 year old son gets nosebleeds frequently. Dr. Minke said during his class at Grand Convention to put cypress on the inside of each forearm (there are big veins there and that’s one of the fastest ways to get the oils into the blood stream). I’ll do 2 applications on each arm and his nose stops bleeding in under 1-2 minutes every time.

Cypress is one of the oils in the “Oils of Ancient Scripture” set and is also available as a single oil. It’s been used for thousands of years! What else is it good for? Read on!

This info is from the document “120 Uses for the 12 Oils of Ancient Scripture” compiled by Janet McBride.

CYPRESS (cupressus sempervirens) The oil of Cypress has been used since ancient times for purification and as incense. Cypress is one of the oils most used for the circulatory system. Because it assists in moving stagnant matter, it actually assists many systems of the body: circulatory, digestive, urinary, and integumentary (skin). It helps with cellulite, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, fluid retention, constipation, edema, excessive perspiration, and hand and feet sweating. It is also effective for muscles and joints, the respiratory system, the reproductive system, and the nervous system.

31. Use a drop or two of Cypress where you would apply a deodorant.
32. Equal parts Cypress and Tangerine mixed with a small amount of V-6 mixing oil makes a wonderful serum for skin toning and also aids with the healing of scar tissue.
(Try five drops of each in a 5ml bottle and then fill the rest of the bottle with carrier oil.)
33. Mix several drops of Cypress with pure V-6 mixing oil and apply on location to help with arthritis discomfort. (Those with less sensitive skin may wish to try applying Cypress oil neat.)
34. Apply Cypress neat or diluted on location to ease cramping.
35. Apply a drop of Cypress to a minor injury to facilitate healing and prevent infection.
36. Rub Cypress around the nasal area to help control a nose bleed. (Avoid the eye area.)
37. Use several drops mixed with V-6 mixing oil and apply where needed as an insect repellant.
38. Diffuse Cypress, or inhale directly from the bottle to help with insomnia.
39. Help relieve acute chest discomfort and/or bronchitis by rubbing Cypress on the chest area.
40. Help strengthen blood capillaries and increase circulation by rubbing Cypress mixed with V-6 mixing oil on location. When used with Helichrysum oil, may help with varicose and spider veins.

RC cures 2 week cough – testimonial

What follows is a great testimonial about the RC blend.

“Our good friend’s 14 year old daughter Alyssa has had a cough for 2 weeks…it hasn’t gotten better, hasn’t gotten worse, and they were scheduled for a blood test today because the doc didn’t know what was going on.  Alyssa was also supposed to get braces on her teeth today but they were afraid they were going to have to cancel that appt because of her cough.  Last night I had Alyssa put RC on her chest, gave her 3 drops of Thieves in a ½ tsp of honey and had her put a drop of Thieves on the sole of each foot.  I also loaned her my travel fan diffuser to diffuse RC in her bedroom overnight. She called me this morning to tell me that she woke up this morning uncongested and with not a trace of a cough! They canceled the blood test, and she was able to keep the long-scheduled orthodontist appointment!”

101 ways to use Thieves Essential oil

Where does this blend come from?

As the bubonic plague decimated Europe in the year 1413, four thieves were captured and charged with robbing the dead and dying victims. When the thieves were tried, the magistrate offered leniency if they would reveal how they resisted contracting the infection as they performed their gruesome acts. They explained that they were perfumers and spice traders and told of a special concoction of aromatic herbs, including cloves and rosemary, that they rubbed on their hands, ears, and temples.

The proprietary Thieves oil blend was created based on research into the concoction used by the thieves of the 15th century. In 1997, studies conducted at Weber State University showed it to have a 99.96% success rate against airborne bacteria. The bacteria cultures were sprayed in an enclosed area, and Thieves oil blend was diffused for a given amount of time.
