mom-grandma-peopleMy Mother, bless her heart.  She has been suffering with Vertigo for many years.  When Vertigo hits her, she gets tired and her spirits spiral downwards. Too top it off she has gotten depressed because she feels so helpless and she feels like her body is letting her down. She has had therapy for the Vertigo, but it is awful for her to go through because she has to do things, like lying down and turning her head and she feels like vomiting.

I FINALLY looked in my Essential Oil Desk Reference and an oil suggestion was Ginger. Which makes sense, Ginger may help with motion sickness, morning sickness, nausea, digestive disorders and much more.*  Because our oils are so pure, many of them are safe to take internally (GRAS-Generally regarded as safe).

So, I put 6 to 8 drops of Ginger in a gel capsule and had her take it with a glass of water. I then applied a drop of Ginger oil behind her ears and lastly I massaged the outer edges of her ears and I also had her breath in the aroma of the Ginger oil and in just a few short minutes she felt tremendous relief.joy

Consequently, since then, whenever Vertigo raises it’s ugly head, I whip out the Ginger and it goes to work and kicks that Vertigo goodbye. I am so happy I am able to help my mom out with her health issues and with natural remedies!!  And to help her out when she is feeling low, I plug in the diffuser, put some Joy oil in it and rub some Joy oil on the bottoms of her feet.  This helps to release those emotional feelings of sadness.* And the room smells great and her feet are soft and sweet smelling and her spirits are lifted. How great is that!!

Joy oil is one of our oil blends.  Joy™ is a luxuriously exotic blend with uplifting overtones that creates magnetic energy and brings joy to the heart. When worn as cologne or perfume, Joy exudes an alluring and irresistible fragrance that inspires romance and togetherness. When diffused, it can be refreshing and uplifting.*

Young Living has approximately 70 oil blends and 80 single oils. So many oils that may help in so many ways!

pets-animals-cat-dogI could write a short story on how I have used Young Living Therapeutic Essential Oils with my pets and also the stories of my friends using the products on their pets.  So, I think I will start with one of my friends who has show dogs.  She asked me;  “Is there an essential oil that could help one of my show dogs, who is extremely timid, to be able to perform better? I know your essential oils are pure and therapeutic grade, and I want a natural remedy, rather then using synthetics or chemicals.

I immediately thought of two of our blends;  Peace and Calming and Valor.  I explained to her that the Peace and Calming may help her dog to be more relaxed and the Valor could give him courage and confidence.*  I said to her; “It is very important to always remember to use less oils on pets, and what you should do is first put 1 to 2 drops of Peace and Calming in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together in a clock wise motion, and then “massage” them nto the pads of the dogs feet.  Let him rest a few minutes and you should see a noticeable difference in his attitude.  Next, do the same with the Valor.”

The next time I saw her she came up to me and said;” Oh my gosh, I could not believe how the oils changed him.  He had the best show he ever has, he was calm and pranced with confidence and when he was up on the podium, he stood like a rock.  Thank you so much!! I need these oils!!  And I know more dog handlers are going to want to purchase the oils, so how do I start a business with Young Living Therapeutic Essential Oils?I showed her how to become a wholesale member and to make some extra money too.  And now her “dog” friends are using the oils too!!

On another topic. Have you seen on the news lately how pet owners are having severe problems with there cats and dogs with the flea products that they are using?  Some get terrible allergic skin reactions, some get very ill, and many are dying.  I wanted to jump into the television and say; “Hello!! I know you all love your pets and want the best for them.  This is what I do for my pets, a natural remedy of our blend of Purification.” I use it on my cat. I use one drop for the cat and put the essential oil in the palm of my hand, rub my hands together. Then I massage the back of his neck and the pads of his feet and I finish giving  him a good petting. Lot’s of love and good health to all our pets!!

Physical energy can change very quickly from feeling good and happy, to sad, scared or even an overwhelming feeling of wanting to escape. Have you ever experienced a feeling of your energy suddenly changing from good to bad, feeling tired, weak or rundown?  If you have, do you know why? Could it be do to a situation or someone you are with?

There will always be times and situations that come up in our lives that cause us to have many of these feelings.  One circumstance that many people may not recognize or realize is when they have been with a person that drains their energy, in other words this person could be called an ‘energy vampire’.  When you understand that being around a particular person zaps your energy, what can you do?  The best thing to do, if you can, is to stay away from them.  Sometimes this is not possible as this person could be a family member or a co-worker.

I am a Reiki Master and I have learned how very important it is to protect oneself from these kinds of energies. I had a session with a client while I was living in Hawaii and I forgot to protect myself before the healing season. Big mistake, but I did know what to do and how to eliminate the bad feeling I had when I was done. There are different ways to protect yourself from negative energies and one easy way to protect yourself  is to run your hands under cold water, or if possible take a shower.

Another excellent way to eliminate or prevent negative energy is with Young Living Essential Oil blend of White Angelica.  Put a few drops in the palm of your hand, rub your palms together in a clock like motion, to increase the vibrational frequency, and then ‘brush’ your hands from the top of your head down to your feet and be sure to touch all of your Chakra points. And lastly cup your hands over your face and breath in the aroma of the oil. (Be careful to keep your hands off of your skin.)

chakras-color-chart

I also diffuse White Angelica, to benefit from the aromatherapy and to prevent negative energies from consuming my environment, myself or anyone that may be visiting. I have always felt immediate relief whenever I use either of these therapies.

White Angelica is a calming and soothing blend that encourages feelings of protection and security. It combines oils used during ancient times to enhance the body’s aura, which brings about a sense of strength and endurance. Many people use it as protection against negative energy. White Angelica works great when applied to shoulders.*

Order Here

A wonderful gift for healers in your life would be White Angelica.  I know it would be gratefully appreciated by them.  White Angelica is also a heavenly oil blend to wear as a perfume and a great gift for anyone.  Especially those that you feel could use help relaxing or help preventing them from being overcome with negative energy.

When you get to feeling “creepy”, for a reason that you can’t seem to understand, grab your bottle of White Angelica oil, or run to the faucet, because it is best to get rid of those feelings as soon as you can, and to feel good not bad.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all.

purification-thieves-moldOnce you have reached your travel destination, it’s time to “freshen up”  your space. Easy to do, takes but just a few minutes of your time and using “Natural Remedies” to help you to feel safe, cleaner, free of toxins in the air and stress free. You should have your “bag” or “First Aid Kit” of  Young Living Essential Oils, and it should include the essential oil blends of Purification and Thieves.

Start by dropping a few drops of Purification on a tissue and placing the tissue in the air vent of your room.  This also works great as an air freshener in a vehicle that you are driving.  Put the tissue in the vent of the car.  What this does is it cleans and purifies the air that surrounds you and it is like “diffusing” the essential oils into the air and you get the aromatherapy benefit.

Purification® can be used directly on the skin to cleanse and soothe insect bites, cuts, and scrapes. When diffused, it helps to purify and cleanse the air from environmental impurities including cigarette smoke and other disagreeable odors.*

Ingredients: Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus), lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), Melaleuca (Melaleuca alternifolia) lavandin (Lavandula x hybrida), and myrtle (Myrtus communis).

You can use Purification to protect yourself from bugs, like mosquitoes.  Just put a few drops of Purification in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together in a clock like motion, this gets the vibrational frequency going, then rub your hands on any exposed area of skin.   When I do this, the mosquitoes are repelled by the scent and make no contact with my skin.

Before you leave your room, be sure to also use the essential oil blend of Thieves. Put a few drops on a dampened cloth and wipe down the faucet, counters, door knobs, dresser knobs and the toilet seat. This will take care of the “germs” using this “Natural Remedy”.   And If you are so lucky as to have a bottle of Thieves Spray, a great hand sanitizer/cleaner, you can keep this with you on your daily excursions, to keep your hands clean and germ free.  Now you can enjoy your time and remember to  take lots of pictures!!

maui-palms-beach-relaxSummer is near and many of us will be traveling, either by “Planes, Trains or Automobiles” or even cruise ships, back packing or motorcycling.  The best way to accomplish this overall “protection plan” is to have your trusty bag or first aide kit of Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils.  I personally have my First Aid kit set up for any kind of trip and another kit for traveling on airplanes.  No matter how short or long your adventure, you can be prepared and be assured pure and natural remedies are with you.  (Nothing with chemicals, synthetics or toxins are allowed in my kits!!)

We can use Young Living Essential Oils and feel we have protections from;

  1. Viruses and bacterias
  2. Cuts, scrapes, burns, bruises, bug bites, etc.
  3. Headaches or allergies
  4. Achy muscles
  5. And many other unexpected situations.

Preparing for flights, I always apply Thieves Oil blend on the bottoms of my feet to ”protect” myself, should there be anyone “coughing on the flight. Because of the precautions that have come into place since September 11, my “plane kit” carry on consists of;

  1. Thieves Essential Oil on a damp cloth.  (About 5 drops of Thieves oil on the damp cloth, to protect myself from the “bugs” on the flight.  If I feel the need, I take several nice long deep breaths of the beautiful therapeutic scent.
  • Thieves® Thieves® was created based on research about four thieves in France who covered themselves with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing plague victims. This proprietary essential oil blend was university tested for its cleansing abilities. It is highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health.*
  • Ingredients: Clove (Syzygium aromaticum), lemon (Citrus limon), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), Eucalyptus radiata and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis CT 1,8 cineol).
  1. Peppermint in a small dram bottle.  (If I need to “wake up” and feel “clearer” at the end of the flight. Or in case I get a headache.)
  • Peppermint (Mentha piperita) has a strong, clean, fresh, minty aroma. One of the oldest and most highly regarded herbs for soothing digestion, it may also restore digestive efficiency.* Jean Valnet MD studied peppermint’s supportive effect on the liver and respiratory systems. Other scientists have also researched peppermint’s role in improving taste and smell when inhaled. Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati studied peppermint’s ability to improve concentration and mental sharpness. Alan Hirsch MD studied peppermint’s ability to directly affect the brain’s satiety center, which triggers a sensation of fullness after meals. This powerful essential oil is often diluted before topical application. Peppermint may also be used to enhance the flavor of food and water. , rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing plague victims. This proprietary essential oil blend was university tested for its cleansing abilities. It is highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health.*
  1. Peace and Calming in a small dram bottle.  (Should someone is feeling stressed or needs calming, such as a small child)
  • Peace & Calming® is a gentle, fragrant blend. When diffused, it helps calm tensions and uplift the spirit, promoting relaxation and a deep sense of peace. When massaged on the bottoms of the feet, it can be a wonderful prelude to a peaceful night’s rest.

  • Ingredients: Tangerine (Citrus nobilis), orange (Citrus aurantium), ylang ylang (Cananga odorata), patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) and blue tansy (Tanacetum annuum).

My mother was in pain from Dupuytren’s, which is a disease that causes the tendons of the pinky and ring finger to tighten and the fingers to curl to the palm.  It is quite painful and you have to “force” the fingers back to being straight.  So I researched and found that natural remedies of Sulfurzyme and BLM, two supplement products of Young Living Essential Oils, may help in alleving the problem.

Sulfurzyme® combines wolfberry with MSM, a naturally occurring organic form of dietary sulfur needed by our bodies every day to maintain the structure of proteins, protect cells and cell membranes, replenish the connections between cells, and preserve the molecular framework of connective tissue.* MSM also supports the immune system, the liver, circulation, and proper intestinal function and works to scavenge free radicals.* Wolfberries contain minerals and coenzymes that support the assimilation and metabolism of sulfur.* FOS is added to this formula to support normal digestive system health.*

MSM (methylsulfonymethane): 1.6 g per serving
Ningxia Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum fruit): 200 mg per serving

blmBLMTM supports normal bone and joint health.* This formula combines powerful all-natural ingredients, such as type II collagen, MSM, glucosamine sulfate, and manganese citrate, enhanced with therapeutic-grade essential oils. These ingredients have been shown to support healthy cell function and encourage joint health and fluid movement.*

Manganese (from manganese citrate): 1 mg per serving.
Potassium (as potassium chloride): 48 mg per serving
Chloride: 42 mg per serving
MSM: 24 mg per serving
Glucosamine Sulfate: 373 mg per serving

I received BLM and Sulfurzyme for my mom and she has been taking one capsule of each daily and after less than a month she does not have the pain or the problem of her fingers curling in. And once again she is thankful to have her daughter being knowledgeable and a distributor of Young Living Essential Oils to be able to help her out with her situation.lavender-dish

I myself am very grateful to of been blessed the day that a friend shared Young Living Lavender oil with me to put on a cut.  It was very soothing, it DID NOT sting my cut, and the next day the redness was gone.

Recently I decided to pick up a bottle of Lavender oil at store, to compare it to Young Livings Lavender oil.  I just so happened to have a cut at the time.  So I opened the bottle, smelled the oil and I could tell right away it was not a quality oil.  And then I put a drop on my cut and it stung.  Hmmm, not the best oil for sure.  I know it should of soothed my cut, not irritated it.  It is so valuable to understand the difference of oils and to know when you have a quality oil.

I have been using and sharing Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil products since 1996 and I will continue to share them with the community, use them in my personal life, and to prosper, building my Young Living Essential Oil business from home for as long as I am able.

wash-hair-shampoo-peopleFlaky, itchy, dandruff, dry scalp..do you or someone you know have any of these symptoms? Are you afraid to wear dark clothes because people may notice white flakes on your shoulders?

It’s hard not to scratch your head when it itches, but when you do, the flakes fall onto your clothing.

Have your tried different personal care products that are in most stores, and still are not getting positive results? It can be aggravating to spend the time and money on a product and find it does not work to solve the problem.

Young Living has the best solution you need.  The bonus you get is the fact that what you are getting IS all natural, organic, quality and therapeutic, and you can get other benefits from this one product.  What I am referring to is Melaleuca Alternifolia. (Tea Tree)

Melaleuca alternifolia is highly regarded for its wide range of uses. It supports the immune system and is beneficial for the skin.*  Commonly known as Tea Tree Oil.

The next item you need is a quality, organic shampoo. That means don’t be buying what is mostly stocked in the super markets. You need to read the ingredients and try your darndist to get in the habit of reading the ingredients on your personal care products, so that you begin to get away more and more from harsh chemicals.

Avoid products that contain: “parabens” (Methyl-, ethyl-, propyl- and butyl-parabens) , coal tar colors (FD&C Blue 1, Green 3, Yellow 5 & 6; D&C Red 33), Diethanolamine (cocamide DEA, TEA and MEA are related ingredients that can be contaminated with DEA), Nonoxynol or nonylphenol ethoxylate, phthalates (can be listed as DEHP, DHP, or DBP5 or hidden in “fragrance”) , DMDM hydantoin, triclosan, sodium lauryl and laureth sulfates, toluene, formaldehyde, PEGs, and anything with “glycol” or “methyl, Propylene Glycol.”

Young Living Lavender Volume Shampoo is a quality shampoo, free of bad chemicals.  It gently cleanses and volumizes fine hair while nourishing and restoring balance. Long known for its ability to improve the appearance of hair and skin, lavender oil works its fragrant magic to enhance the natural beauty of your hair. Added botanical extracts, vitamins, and essential oils remove buildup that comes from commercially sold hair products while maximizing body. Renewing and invigorating, Lavender Volume Shampoo contains MSM, a sulfur compound that is known for strengthening hair.

What you should do is put some Lavender Volume Shampoo in your hand, and drop 4 to 6 drops of the Melaleuca Alternifolia oil into the shampoo,  stir and shampoo.”

I would be very interested in hearing from you after a few weeks to hear the results that you have found after shampooing with these products.  (Contact me)

You can order right here and get the products delivered right to your door.

When God created our earth He made sure that we would have all we needed  for our healing, and He provided this healing medicine in essential oils.  Thankfully He gave Gary Young the gift to bring His essential oils to the world in the purest way possible.

thieves-plaque-toothpasteOur teeth and gum’s need to be taken care of by us and if we don’t take care of them we may have dental health problems, which are painful both physically and to our pocket book.

Are you aware of the many toothpaste products on the shelves that are NOT healthy to be putting on our teeth, let alone ingesting the left over foam from the paste. Do you know that “pure and natural” does not mean that it is free of toxic chemicals?

Unfortunately most toothpastes on the shelves in our super markets are not safe and that is why they say on the product: “If swallowed call poison control”. Well how the heck are you not going to swallow some of the toothpaste and why would a company have chemicals that could be harmful to us? Hmmmm, could it be they care more about money and than their consumers?

Edible toothpaste with Thieves Young Living Essential Oil is fluoride free and it is amazing to find out that ones teeth and gum’s may become healthier with this Young Living Essential Oil product. I am a Young Living Essential Oil Distributor and recently went to the dentist after 5 years , to get a cleaning.  My dentist was amazed at how great my teeth and gum’s looked. I was free of cavities and very little tarter build up!!

I am so relieved and thankful for our Thieves products and the results I continually have.  So, I say;  “Wouldn’t everyone want results like this?  To have healthier teeth and gum’s and to have the added benefits of Thieves therapeutic-grade essential oil.  Toothpaste FREE of fluoride, sugar, chemicals, toxins, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) AND pay less in dental bills.”

Young Living has wonderful toothpaste for our children to help to keep their teeth healthy too.

KidScents® Toothpaste is a safe, natural alternative to commercial brands of toothpaste. Perfect for children of all ages.  KidScents Toothpaste makes a great training toothpaste for children during the crucial first years while they develop their primary teeth.

Calcium Carbonate, Colloidal Silver, Zinc Oxide, Peppermint and Spearmint are used as tooth health agents. Ionic Minerals and Xylitol are used for tooth and gum support. Thieves® is used as a gum health agent.*
