Stop nosebleeds with Essential Oils

Posted November 6, 2011 By Julien

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.

Do you need some Abundance?

Posted April 23, 2011 By Julien

Do you have a bottle of Abundance oil? Here are some more awesome stories about this wonderful, spicy, earthy oil blend, again from some friends:

A. writes: A little while ago, I sent out an email about Abundance oil….and I received some beautiful responses, which I wanted to share with you. But before I do that…..did you know you can use Abundance oil in your wall paint? Noel and I have included that in every painting job we’ve done in the last 12 years. We use 40 drops of oil in 4 litres of paint – and usually we do half Peppermint oil (to disguise the paint smell) and half Abundance oil. When the Abundance oil first drips into your beautiful white paint, it’s bright orange….but don’t worry. It mixes in perfectly, and we’ve never had a problem with it in all the 12 years. Here are some other stories about Abundance oil. This is an oil that I’d never want to be without. I’d say it’s my most frequently used oil in my arsenal.

Tracy writes: Hi Artemis, I find when I use Abundance oil in the diffuser my phone doesn’t stop. I have to use something else so I can slow down my work load! It really works….

Rhonda writes: I also have a story about Abundance oil. I go regularly in to a cafe close to my work and it recently changed owners  I asked the new owner how things were going and she said that things were a bit quiet. I always carry my Abundance oil in my bag so I got her to put some on her wrists and held them over the cash register. I left the bottle with her and suggested that she do the same protocol the following morning, with the intention that the day was going to be busy with lots of customers. She followed my instructions and the following 2 days were the busiest she had ever had. She ordered a bottle of Abundance oil from me the next time I went in.

Fun right? Why not order yourself some abundance and experience this wonderful oil for yourself.

Abundance is available to customers for $41.78

9 ways to use Lemon Essential Oil in your home

Posted January 10, 2011 By Julien

Air freshener:  Use 12 drops of Lemon oil in a squirt bottle with distilled water to use in the bathroom as an air freshener.

Dishwasher: Add 2 drops of Lemon oil to your dishwasher before the wash cycle. Your dishes will shine and your dishwasher will smell great. Use it with a green/eco-friendly dishwasher solution for best results.

House Carpet cleaner:  Put 10-15 drops of Lemon oil in each gallon of carpet cleaning solution to help pull out stains and brighten the rug. This also leaves a fresh smell in the room.

Clean fruit: To clean and increase the shelf life of fresh fruit, fill a bowl with cool water and 2-3 drops of Lemon oil . Drop your cleaned fruit into the water and stir. Be sure all surfaces of the fruit contact the lemon water.

Kitchen cleaner: Rub a drop of Lemon oil to clean a butcher’s Boos Block or other cutting surface. A safe alternative to harsh chemicals.

Kitchen Sterilizer: Add 5-6 drops of Lemon oil to water and spray counter tops to sterilize them. Your kitchen will smell amazing and you don’t have to worry about chemicals getting into your food.

Kill germs: Soak your dishcloth overnight in a bowl of water and 4 drop of Lemon oil to disinfect and kill germs.

House Sanitizer: Use a paper towel soaked with several drops of Lemon oil to sanitize bathroom fixtures. No chemicals or toxic fumes.

Stain remover: Use 1-2 drops of Lemon oil to remove gum, oil, grease spots,labels or crayon.

Make sure you only use Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils, store bought oils contain fillers and perfumes and do not have the same properties as 100% pure essential oils.  I would recommend using Young Living Lemon Essential Oil.

Frankincense and Cancer cells

Posted October 6, 2010 By Julien

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

Posted September 15, 2010 By Julien
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.

Athletes Foot natural remedy

Posted October 29, 2009 By Julien

Tinea pedis or athletes foot is a fungal infection of the skin that infects the feet. This fungus loves warm moist environment to which many feet are subject. A good way to start with the healing process is to keep the feet dry and stay out of tight shoes.

Essential oils are a great way to help you get rid of the infection and here is how:

The single oils used for this treatment are tea tree & lavender or tea tree, peppermint & mountain savory. Existing Young Living Blends : Melrose, Thieves, Purification, ClaraDerm

First Athletes foot blend : 8 drops of teat tree 2 drops of lavender

Second Athletes foot blend : 8 drops of tea tree 4 drops of peppermint 2 drops of mountain savory

You can either dilute the blends with some vegetable oil (50/50) or use them directly onto the feet.
Apply 5 to 7 drops of your blend onto your toes and around your toe nails making sure you cover all areas. Repeat this daily until the the infection has completely cleared.

This is a very efficient way of getting rid of Athletes Foot without having to use heavy chemical products.

Please make sure you use only Therapeutic grade essential oils. I recommend using only Young Living essential oils and blends. Click here to find out how to get your own oils

About Peppermint Essential Oil

Posted July 29, 2009 By Julien

If I had to choose just two Essential Oils to carry with me at all times I would without a doubt pick Lavender and Peppermint.

Peppermint is your best friend when it comes to helping you cope with indigestion, stomach ache, nausea, headache,mosquitoes and much much more!

If ever you are suffering from any digestion related pains or discomfort applying one or two drops into your palm and massaging your stomach will bring relief within minutes. If you need a little extra help especially for nausea put one drop into a small glass of water and drink it, this will produce a great cooling effect in your stomach and you will feel much lighter.

To counter a sudden headache I suggest drinking a large glass of pure water then putting one drop of Peppermint Essential Oil in your palms, rubbing them together then cupping your mouth and nose and inhaling deeply through your nose, exhaling through your mouth. This is a strong oil and the fumes might burn your eyes a little, just make sure to not rub your eyes with your oily fingers!

On a hot summer day you can easily cool off or stay cool by applying a drop or less of peppermint essential oil behind your ears, on your chest and the back of your neck, the cooling effect will be immediate.

Adding  a drop of Peppermint Essential Oil to your favourite Natural Lemonade is also a great way to feel refreshed and invigorated on a warm day.

For more great ideas I suggest typing ‘Peppermint’ on our testimonials page, try it by clicking here

A word to the wise : Peppermint is very very strong, this is an oil where the rule ‘Less is More’ really applies! When using peppermint oil make sure you never use more than 2 drops. If ever the cooling effect is too strong for you dilute the essential oil with vegetable oil, NEVER USE WATER as this will only spread the oil and not dilute it.

Always use Therapeutic grade Essential Oils – Buy Young Living Essential Oils

Diffusing Essential Oils

Posted December 30, 2008 By Julien
Aroma Globe Nebulizing Diffuser

Aroma Globe Nebulizing Diffuser

There are a ton of different types of diffusers available on the market today.  Some diffusers are electric, others involve candles, others nebulizing technology… It can get a little confusing and overwhelming.

Luckily I have gone through the lengthy and expensive process of trying most diffusers out there. First off I would like to discourage you from using any type of diffuser that involves heat whether this be by candle or steam.  Heat can modify the property of the oils and thus reduce it’s therapeutic effects.  And since you are using therapeutic grade oils might as well use a diffuser that actually doesn’t denature them right?

Nebulizing diffusers are definitely the way to go.  They  don’t use heat and if they are set up correctly will actually allow you to get the most efficient use out of your oils.  I would suggest getting the Aroma Globe diffuser.  This diffuser is to my knowledge, the most technologically advanced nebulizing system on the market today.

It is quiet and very simple to use, it is designed to maximize the biological effect while minimizing the consumption of essential oils. A built in timer turns it ON for 5 minutes and OFF for 25 minutes. It turns on 6 times in 3 hours, then shuts off automatically. Air flow adjustment knob lets you set the output you want.
It’s amazing that everything fits into such a small space just 4 Inches round by 5 1/2 inches tall.

It’s hard to see in the photo, but it also has merging RED, BLUE, GREEN and YELLOW lights that shine into the liquid. In the dark it looks AWESOME!  The large capacity globe will hold 15 milliliters of oil.

Coverage = 0 to 1200 square feet. Depending on the amount of air saturation you desire. You wont find a better integrated nebulizer than Aroma-Globe.  I know this sounds like a big sales pitch but believe me you won’t regret it, this is by far the best diffuser available.
