maui-palms-beach-relaxRelaxation during the Holiday Season can be a hard commodity to find, but a well needed one for sure. Some may be fortunate to fly to a tropical place for relaxation, while many are not able to have such a treat.

We don’t have to fly to distant places during the holidays to feel relaxation.  Sometimes we may need help by reaching out to others for a massage, or just getting together with friends and loved ones.  When we can’t get away or just don’t feel like it, there are many simple ways to that may help us to be calmed by utilizing aromatherapy.

Young Living therapeutic grade essential oils may help, either by applying them topically, diffusing or soaking in the tub. Read more on How to Use Essential Oils.

One of the quickest ways that may help to ensure a feeling of relaxation is inhalation of therapeutic-grade essential oils.  It is very easy, just put a drop of essential oil, like Lavender or the blend of Peace and Calming, on your palm, rub your hands together in a clock like motion, cup your hands over your nose, (don’t touch your skin with your hands), take several deep breaths, sit still for a few moments and focus on how you are feeling.

Essential oils often have a pleasant aroma, their chemical makeup is complex and their benefits vast—which makes them much more than something that simply smells good.

The interaction of natural fragrant molecules on the olfactory membrane initiates a nerve signal that can quickly trigger various parts of the brain to respond – invoking a memory, a feeling, calming, alertness, reduced anxiety, or simply the perception of a scent.

To help relax the body, relieve tension, clear the mind and maximize the feeling try applying a few drops of Lavender or Peace and Calming to the soles of your feet.

Aromatherapy is a caring, hands-on therapy which seeks to induce relaxation, to increase energy, to reduce the effects of stress and to restore lost balance to mind, body and soul.” ~ Robert Tisserand

These essential oils are warming, comforting scents:

  • Cypress is especially comforting during the winter season. Its fresh, herbaceous, slightly evergreen aroma is refreshing and restores feelings of security and stability. Cypress is also beneficial for oily or troubled skin.*
  • Nutmeg has a sweet, warm, spicy scent similar to the spice commonly used in cooking. Comforting and soothing, nutmeg helps boost energy. It also supports nervous and endocrine systems and prostaglandin balance.*
  • Frankincense as a sweet, warm, balsamic aroma that is stimulating and elevating to the mind. Useful for visualizing, improving one’s spiritual connection, and centering, it has comforting properties that help focus the mind and overcome stress and despair. Frankincense is considered the holy anointing oil in the Middle East, where it has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. More recently, it has been used in European and American hospitals and is the subject of substantial research. Frankincense is also a valuable ingredient in skin care products for aging and dry skin.*

The blends of:

  • Thieves was created based on research about four thieves in France who covered themselves with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing plague victims.

  • Evergreen Essence takes you back to nature by combining the scents of a variety of aromatic pine, cedar, and spruce trees. Crisp and invigorating, it refreshes your senses. This blend changes slightly from season to season. Evergreen Essence is a seasonal item, usually available in the winter*

A gift is our way of thanking our Hostess for their graciousness and for our time spent together.  There are so many ways we can gift and give thanks, from a hug or a card, to a nice bottle of wine, a beautiful candle or a luscious scent of an essential oil.

The Holiday Season is a time to celebrate and to express our gratitude. Throughout the year we may loose sight of all we have to be thankful for and the Holiday Season is a time when we can reflect on what we are blessed with.

Being as I am a Young Living Distributor, I love to show my gratitude with a gift I have made with essential oils or perhaps a bottle of an essential oil, like Christmas Spirit or Orange.

It is very easy to make bath salts and foot soaks, and you can choose the essential oil you would like to use to make them with.  When I am making my bath salts, I always start with just a few drops of essential oil, stir and smell.  If I need to add more essential oil I will, but it is best to start with less, because with Young Living therapeutic essential oils and their potency, a few drops goes a long ways.

  • Lavender Bath Salt Recipe

In 1 cup of Epsom Salt or Sea Salt, add 2-3 drops of Lavender oil.  Put in a nice glass or plastic container with a pretty label.  Add 1/4 cup bath salt to water in tub.  Soak, relax, feel calmer and enjoy. Plus knowing that you are soaking in the best quality essential oils and free of chemicals makes it even more of a luxury.

  • Lavender-Peppermint Foot Soak

In 1 cup of Epsom Salt add, 2-3 drops of Lavender oil and 1-2 drops of Peppermint oil.  Put in a nice glass or plastic container with a pretty label.  Add 1/4 cup foot soak to warm to hot water in pan and soak feet.

  • Christmas Spirit Essential Oil Blend

Christmas Spirit is a sweet, spicy blend of orange, cinnamon, and spruce essential oils that tap into the happiness, joy, and security associated with the holiday season.* With Christmas Spirit on hand, simply open a bottle and start diffusing! home-diffuser-light

  • Orange Essential Oil

Orange essential oil has a rich, fruity scent that lifts the spirit while providing a calming influence on the body. Orange brings peace and happiness to the mind. It is rich in the powerful antioxidant d-limonene and aids in maintaining normal cellular regeneration.* Orange may also be used to enhance the flavor of food and water .

Using a diffuser emits the lovely aromatherapy of Young Living essential oils and all who inhale it benefit.  Read more on diffusing.

If you are on a tight budget, it is inexpensive to make bath salts. One bottle of Young Living essential oils goes a long ways.  It is easy to do and your host will be thankful for your thoughtful gift to them, showing your gratitude.

I just wanted to share with you that my homemade Cranberry suace with Orange essential oil, leftovers from Thanksgiving, is absolutely delicious spooned over a dish of plain yogurt. The only thing that would have made it even more tasty is if I had shaved some dark chocolate on it too, I’m out of dark chocolate, oh well, next time! I’m quite certain the cranberry sauce will taste excellent on vanilla yogurt too.

Usually, I make the Cranberry suace (super easy recipe to make) with Young Living Tangerine essential oil but this year I used Orange, Lemon essential oil is good too.

According to Dr. Mercola in his recent article, “Deadlier then Cocaine, Heroin, and the Swine Flu“, pain killers are killing thousands of people yearly.  Apparently, prescription drugs kill more then 26,000 people yearly. To quote:

“In fact, prescription drugs cause most of the more than 26,000 fatal overdoses each year, says Leonard Paulozzi of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The number of overdose deaths from opioid painkillers — opium-like drugs that include morphine and codeine — more than tripled from 1999 to 2006, to 13,800 deaths that year, according to recently released CDC statistics.

In the past, most overdoses were due to illegal narcotics, such as heroin, with most deaths in big cities. Prescription painkillers have now surpassed heroin and cocaine however, as the leading cause of fatal overdoses, Paulozzi says.”health-davinci-man-people

I guess if you are dead, then the pain is gone, but I don’t think that was the objective for many of these unfortunate people nor the pain killer! Apparently, one of the big reasons so many people are needing painkillers is because they are overweight, and as they age their joints begin to give them more and more trouble. This is so sad! What is more sad is there are natural, safer products out there and for many people these alternatives may do the trick perfectly. It is always so much better to use natural medicine for pain when you can. In my article, Pharmaceuticals, friends or foes? I pointed out the healthy body has a higher frequency of around 62 to 70 megahertz. Drugs have a very low frequency which, over use and time can drag the body’s frequency down, and when the body’s frequency lowers, sickness and disease can set in. What is furthermore, is things we ingest into the body with low frequencies can have a very difficult time getting back out of the body. According the the School of Natural Healing, drugs such as headache medicine which can get past the blood brain barrier and into the brain have no way of getting back out.

So what is there that is natural that people can do? The answer is many things! Valerian, Scullcap, and White Willow are herbs that herbalists have recommended for pain for many centuries. Currently, our family has enjoyed therapeutic grade essential oils for pain. My husband periodically gets migraines, and since he suspects that in his particular case that they are associated with digestion and liver overload (read more on why here), he takes a JuvaTone pill (it has essential oils and ingredients that support normal liver function) when he feels one coming on and he also takes a drop of Peppermint oil in water and puts a little on his temples and the back of his neck. He got the peppermint oil idea from his cousin-in-law who does the same thing for his migraines. Both of them say it can erase migraine symptoms in their tracks.

For nearly a year I had a wrist pain that would not go away. Sometimes it was better then others, but it got so bad I could not lift things with that hand because of the wrist. Finally, I purchased some Ortho Sport Massage Oil, and after three applications all symptoms were gone for good. We use Ortho Sport on our backs when they go out of place to great advantage. We recently also purchased Young Livings new roll-on Deep Relief, and have found ingredients in it invaluable for neck pain, and even headaches!

Pan-Away, M-Grain, and Aroma Seize are more completely phenomenal oils provided by Young Living that have helped us with pain relief. We have always found that after 5 to 10 minutes, if one oil doesn’t work then another one will. Don’t expect results from regular essential oils from the drug or health food store though, they are not the same. Even if they say “pure” and “100% pure”. Currently there are no labeling laws in America, and  this could simply, and usually does simply mean that the small percentage of oil that happens to be in the vial is pure, while the rest is another cheaper oil or even a synthetic, chemical solution. Just because an oil smells like lavender does not mean it is pure, or that it will work, it simply means it contains the chemical that makes up the smell of lavender but it may be missing the chemicals that bring about relief. The term to look for is Therapeutic Grade. For more information on this visit Aromatherapy Labeling Fraud and Best Essential Oils. For back pain, I have found the Raindrop Technique to be invaluable, you can read more about this here Back Pain and Aromatherapy.

It is always quite a satisfying feeling to know how to be able to make products you use everyday yourself. After having been away from commercial, chemical cleaners for so long, I almost grow nauseous when I make a wrong turn in the store and end up accidentally going down the cleaning aisle. I wonder how I put up with the chemical fumes before! I cannot count the number of times I used a chemical cleaning product, only to have a scratchy throat after. It truly is great knowing how to make my own safe, effective, and even disinfecting cleaning products.

You can make your own cleaning products too! It is so easy you’ll laugh! And the best part of all, you nor your family will be exposed to the hazardous chemicals in cleaning agents. With adults having an average of 455 chemical products in their bodies, and babies being pre-born with up to 300 in theirs (which have been linked to serious problems, including childhood cancer, ADD and more) creating your own chemical free cleaning products is a very good thing! Oh, and did I mention cheaper too?

This scrub is just one of my homemade cleaning products. It can be used in bathrooms, kitchens, on pots and pans, ovens, and wherever you need a gentle, non-scratching cleaner. The best part of all is since it is made with Thieves Household Cleaner, it disinfects as it cleans! For more on cleaning your home naturally, without the use of harmful chemical cleaners visit Environmentally Friendly Cleaning.

Unless otherwise stated, these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This article is not intended to diagnose, prescribe, claim to cure, or treat disease. Seek the advice of a professional in the case of disease or medical emergency.

people-happy-freePeople are searching for ways to feel better and more and more people are searching for natural ways of healing. To find this balance is important, and it can be something to celebrate.

Celebrating and appreciating life for many is not easy. Life can bring hard times to us. We must work hard to get to feeling like we have reason to celebrate our life.

Have you ever thought how essential oils may help you to celebrate life to the fullest, live each day with passion and to enjoy a healthier lifestyle.  Essential oils are our wellness solution and if more and more people embraced the therapeutic grace of that essential oils hold, they too would begin to understand the healing that they therapeutic essential oils consist of.

If people started to stand up for themselves and began taking better natural care of themselves and their family, our government  would not have to be so darned concerned about health care reform, lively hood costs would go down, because we citizens would be feeling better and therefore would be less inclined to go to the doctors as often, and we would rely less on drugs to “mask” making us feel better.

You might ask what are some of the possibilities when Young Living therapeutic-grade essential oils are brought into your life?

  • Wake up feeling strong and vibrant everyday
  • Alleviate nagging pain, discomfort and stress
  • Increase your mental ability in the workplace
  • Improve your athletic performance
  • Enjoy peaceful sleep every night
  • Live healthy naturally and enjoy an improved immune system and overall well being
  • Keep your pets healthy and strong

12 Ways to Feel Better With Essential Oils;

  1. Alleviates stress and anxiety. Bring peace and balance to your emotions without negative side effects.
  2. Shield your body from bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
  3. Experience natural pain relief when gently massaged into sore and tired muscles.
  4. Potent against inflammation. May help to alleviate inflammation that causes pain.
  5. Support your body’s Immune System naturally.
  6. Ward off Insomnia. Lavender out performs common drugs in promoting sleep, enhancing relaxation, and decreasing anxiety, according to the 1988 International Journal of Aromatherapy. Apply a few drops topically and sprinkle on a pillowcase to promote restful sleep.
  7. Rejuvenate your skin. Essential oils have been used for thousands of years for restoring and improving damaged skin. They may be beneficial for clogged pores, eczema, acne, dry skin, freckles and stretch marks.
  8. Soothe Digestive Disorders. Rub essential oils onto the abdominal area to relieve digestive upsets. Ingest a few drops of therapeutic grade essential oil in water to provide relief for heartburn, gas, indigestion, diarrhea and irritable bowel disease.
  9. Support Your Bones and Muscles. 50% of our body weight is muscles and our skeleton has 206 bones. When stressed or overworked, apply therapeutic grade essential oils to the affected area for strong skeletal and muscular support.
  10. Superior Dental and Oral Care. Research has shown that oral bacteria can cause heart disease. More bacteria live on the back of the tongue than any other part of the body, and proper cleaning and flossing can do much more than protect the teeth. Essential oils in Young Living mouthwash and toothpaste may help kill microbes that cause tooth decay.
  11. Increase Your Mental Clarity. Exciting clinical studies are proving that the inhalation of peppermint oil daily increases students test scores by 28%. Keep your edge in the workplace by breathing Peppermint during work.
  12. Provides affordable safe alternatives to household cleaners. Replace chemical cleaners with the powerful antimicrobial activities of essential oils

Therapeutic grade essential oils make all the difference.

This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

I believe that this statement has been evaluated by our Father because He provided us with all we need to heal, through his plants, that are flowing with essential oils. As long as the essential oils are therapeutic-grade, which Young Living essential oils are, then we have our medicines to help us all to live our lives to the fullest and be blessed with a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle.

Take a minute and think about life. Wouldn’t you rather rely more on what our earth can provide for us and what we can provide to it? Planting gardens, flowers and trees, this is one way to provide to the earth. The earth provides our medicines to us, and thankfully Young Living DOES provide the best quality products, because that is what is important to Gary Young.

So celebrate life, embrace essential oils, and ask me questions so that I may help you to better understand how you can change your life and the life of your loved ones and your pets.  Don’t wait, life is short and we need to learn and educate our children so that they will be able to educate their children. I would like to thank you in advance and bless you.

Some people just don’t like eating breakfast. The problem is that breakfast truly is an important meal of the day. People that don’t eat breakfast can be more susceptible to health problems such as weight gain, and even put themselves at greater risk for problems like diabetes, especially if it runs in the family.  According to Dr. Gary Young, protein is especially important to eat within a short time of waking in the morning since the body has been starving all night. Since protein is usually dense, this makes breakfast even less desirable for some!

I happen to be one of these people. Give me tea, vitamins, NingXia Red, or something else to drink and I do fine, but I hate eating breakfast most the time! I have found that for me, a great solution to the breakfast dodging lies in smoothies. This smoothie recipe below provides protein and  antioxidants, as well as energy! It could also be frozen for 15 to 20 minutes to create a yummy ice cream or frozen yogurt type substitute.

Berry Smoothie

Place all ingredients in blender and blend on high for 2-3 minutes-make sure you get all the lumps. You may like to try freezing some NingXia Red in you ice cube tray, and use these instead of ice! The NingXia Red is a concentrated puree from wolfberries grown in the NingXia Provence in China. In a S-ORAC test by Brunswick Laboratories, they documented that wolfberries offer the highest known protection against dangerous superoxide free radicals. The following quote was taken from the Young Living PDF on NingXia Red, stating that wolfberries

“contribute 18 amino acids , 21 trace minerals, more beta carotene than carrots, more vitamin C than oranges, vitamin E, and vitamins B1, B2, and B6″

In addition to this, NingXia Red is delicious! The Pure Protein Complete helps make the smoothie creamier and even more delicious. It is high in bioactive whey protein, and it is low in carbohydrates, fat, and calories. One  scoop of Pure protein complete, and the cup of milk alone offer 18 grams of protein. Stevia is wonderful as a sweetener, and is actually a supplement that helps regulated blood sugar as well as support the pancreas*. Another wonderful bonus to this smoothie is it is so yummy that even children love it!
