Young Living Aroma Siez™ essential oil blend is a relaxing blend that is excellent for massaging away life’s little discomforts. This essential oil blend is well suited for use after exercise or at the end of a trying day, it also provides soothing comfort for the head, neck, and tired feet. The anti-inflammatory and muscle-relaxing essential oils in this blend can promote circulation and treat spasmed, tight, inflamed, aching muscles resulting from injury, fatigue, or stress. It also can relieve headaches.

Aroma Siez is a blend of these Young Living therapeutic-grade essential oils:

  • Basil (Ocimum basilicum) combats muscle spasms and inflammation. It is relaxing to both striated and smooth muscles (involuntary muscles such as those found in the heart and digestive system).
  • Marjoram (Origanum majorana) helps regenerate smooth muscle tissue, and assists in relieving spasms, sprains, bruises, migraine headaches and calming the nerves. It is antibacterial and antiseptic.
  • Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) relieves muscle spasms/sprains/pains, headaches, inflammation, anxiety, burns, and skin conditions (psoriasis) preventing scarring, and stretch marks. It is hypotensive, anti-infectious, anticoagulant.
  • Peppermint (Mentha piperita) has powerful pain-blocking, anti-inflammatory, and anti-spasmodic properties. A 1994 double-blind, placebo controlled, randomized cross-over study at the University of Kiel in Germany found that peppermint oil had a significant analgesic effect (Gobel et al., 1994).
  • Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) is antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic, and improves circulation and lymphatic drainage. It reduces edema and water retention. It strengthens the vascular system.

Ways to Use Aroma Siez

  • Head Discomfort: Dilute 1 drop of Aroma Siez with 1 drop V-6 or olive oil. Apply to temples, and back of the neck as needed.
  • Muscle Aches: Dilute 4-8 drops with one teaspoon V-6 massage oil. Massage on sore muscles, ligaments or areas of poor circulation. More on massage and bodywork.
  • Aromatherapy: Inhale directly from the bottle. More on the effects of olfactory.
  • Diffuse: Aroma Siez can also be used in your Young Living diffuser, for best results diffuse 10-15 minutes every 1-2 hours (please do not use heat, ring or candle diffusers as this destroys the therapeutic benefit of your essential oil).
  • Bath or Foot Bath: For either, in 1/2 cup Epsom Salts or Sea Salt add 4-6 drops of Aroma Siez, mix together well and add to bath water. Soak for 15-20 minutes.

Additional Useage Tips

  • Use with Raindrop Technique
  • Aroma Siez and PanAway together topically can be helpful for achy joints
  • Aroma Siez and M-Grain combined can help with some migraines

Aroma Siez Testimonials

Discomfort in Deep Muscles

“Every fall when the weather is hot, then cold, then hot, then cold here in Florida, I get chest pains that my doctor has characterized as Charlie horses in the deep muscles of my chest. Unlike a leg or foot muscle, you can’t massage these or walk to stretch them, so there was nothing to do but “endure” these annoying episodes, which sometimes lasted for two hours. One night I woke up with this chest pain, and as I lay there thinking about what I could do for it, I remembered the instant results I had had with Aroma Siez on other people’s leg cramps. So I got up and rubbed a few drops of Aroma Siez on my chest, and the pain went away in about 10 minutes!” ~ Jan E.

Aroma Siez After Strenous Activity

“We use Aroma Siez after our Tai Chi classes or a long day of gardening. Smells spicy. Works wonderfully.” ~ Cynthe B.

Aroma Siez and Muscle Spasm

“After moving a heavy bureau, I had muscle cramps along the left side of my body. The cramps were so severe, I almost went for a series of trigger point injections. Instead, I had a friend apply a drop each of helichrysum essential oil and Aroma Siez oil blend on the most tender point of the muscle and press hard, wiggling the finger just a little. In each trigger point, this process released the spasm. I repeated this procedure on a friend who had an uncomfortable charlie horse on his leg, and the discomfort stopped immediately. He was truly surprised because he had muscle spasms in his leg for years, and nothing had ever worked before.” ~ Sharon T.

Aroma Siez for Tight Muscles

“I have also recently had some experiences with cramping of the toes and feet (VERY uncomfortable), and I used Aroma Siez, since it is for seized up muscles.It worked beautifully, within a couple of minutes.” ~ Joy

Aroma Siez and Foot Cramps

“Another manifestation of my current body imbalance was waking up in the middle of the night with foot cramps…big OUCH! Thank goodness I had my trusty Aroma Siez (for those seized-up muscles) handy. I just applied a couple of drops neat on top of the feet, and on the bottom, and again, the cramping stopped as if by magic. I am so grateful that I now have built my “stash” of oils to have them all. I remember well when I was just beginning in the business, and my upline (who just came into the business a week or so before me) and I used to discuss which oils we would order first, in our desire to build an inventory, and how we felt it would be quite a while before we could order the kits.

It’s interesting to look back on that time, and I’m so grateful I stayed with it. Over time, Young Living has brought many blessings…not only the wonderful effective healing, but the abundance to now order whatever I choose without concern. The choice to join Young Living certainly turned out to be one of my better decisions in this lifetime!” ~ Anonymous

Aroma Siez for Charlie Horse

“From time to time I get charlie horses and when I apply the Aroma Siez on the knot and massage it in the muscle will relax and the knot goes away. ( Another thing you need to remember is when you get a lot of charlie horses you are not drinking enough water). Also I use the Aroma Siez when I do massage to relieve the tight muscles in the back.” ~  Nancy S.

What Doug did for disk problem

“My experience with essential oils started like most people, with a physical condition and pain. I began having severe neck pain which progressed down my left shoulder and ultimately to my left elbow. At first, I just lived with it, but then I started to experience weakness in my left tricep, and that’s when I decided to contact a doctor and see what was wrong.

An MRI showed the disk between the C-6 and C-7 vertebrae to be bulging. The swelling in the joint was putting pressure on the nerve which was causing the pain and the weakness in my arm. In fact, the tricep muscle was actually beginning to atrophy.

My doctor gave me 3 options, first, physical therapy sessions. I did that with little effect. Second, an epidural in my neck, which is an injection of anti-inflammatory drugs directly into the disk designed to reduce the swelling and help the disk move back in place. The third option was surgery, where they would fuse the two vertebrae together.

I was in my early 30’s and very active in sports and skiing and did not want options 2 or 3! That’s when a friend told me about the oils and how they had helped him with a similar problem with his back.  Long story short, I tried them, and it was nothing short of a miracle!  Within minutes my neck and shoulder felt better, and by the next morning, I had no more pain! ZERO!

My neck and arm have been fine since, nearly 10 years now, and I regularly use the oils as simple maintenance and for many other reasons that are too numerous to list here. Many people have asked me which oils were used on my back and neck, so here is a list of the oils and how they were applied by Julie Herbert – whose husband, Gordon, first introduced me to these amazing medicines.

Start with Valor on the feet. Then layer oils of Basil, Marjoram, Aroma Siez, Wintergreen, PanAway, Cypress, LEMONGRASS, Geranium, and Peppermint on the VitaFlex points on the feet, one after another. (There is a foot chart in the book, Essential Oils Desk Reference, which shows where points related to the spine, shoulders and neck are located on the feet called VitaFlex points).

Then apply the same oils on the neck and shoulder or pain-affected area using Peppermint last, followed by Ortho Ease. Peppermint is used last because it is the amplifier of the other oils followed by Ortho Ease. Today, for someone with the same condition, you would also use Idaho Balsam Fir, and then start taking the supplements BLM (for bone, muscle, and ligaments) and Sulfurzyme.

BLM and Sulfurzyme were not available when I had my neck problem. I am a true believer in the power of these oils to heal the body, mind, and spirit. I hope you will experience the same kind of results as you use these wonderful products. I can’t put into words how grateful I am to have discovered essential oils.” ~ Doug L.

MSM the Youth Nutrient: a natural solution for arthritis, allergies and pain

February 17, 2010 in Acne, Allergies, Alternative Therapies, Anti-Aging, Back Pain, Beauty, Buy / Purchase, DHEA, Education, Family Health, Hair Care, Health, How do I use, Lifestyle, Longevity, Men's Health, Menopause, Muscle Tension / Fatigue, Nail Health, Natural, Science, Skin Care, Sleep / Insomnia, Sulfurzyme, Wellness by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

Pain — ranging from constant, chronic, to periodic — plagues millions of people around the world, in the form of back pain, muscle pain, headache, arthritis, joint pain, and injuries. When such moments occur we’ve been conditioned to ease the pain, rather than explore what is the cause.

MSM, or Methylsulfonylmethane, the “miracle” supplement is a safe, natural, side-effect-free, nontoxic sulfur compound with potent therapeutic value. Whether it’s your lifestyle that is out of balance or caused an injury, or if you’re looking to enhance your natural lifestyle the research on MSM could be just what you’ve been seeking.

MSM: A New Solution for Arthritis, Allergies, and Pain

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural sulfur-bearing nutrient that occurs widely in nature (found in everything from mother’s breast milk to fresh vegetables). It is an exceptional source of nutritional sulfur–a mineral that is vital to protein synthesis and sound health.

Why is sulfur so important to the body?

Because sulfur is a mineral which, like vitamin C, is constantly being used up and depleted. When we fail to replenish our reserves of nutritional sulfur, we become more vulnerable to disease and degenerative conditions.

Some possible signs of sulfur deficiency are:

  • Poor nail and hair growth
  • Eczema
  • Dermatitis
  • Poor muscle tone
  • Acne / Pimples
  • Gout
  • Rheumatism
  • Arthritis
  • Weakening of nervous system
  • Constipation
  • Impairment of mental faculties
  • Lowered libido

MSM is more than just another essential nutrient

According to research compiled by Ronald Lawrence, Ph.D., M.D., and Stanley Jacob, M.D., MSM represents a safe, natural solution for chronic headaches, back pain, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, rheumatism, arthritis, athletic injuries, muscle spasms, asthma, and allergies.

In a book entitled, The Miracle of MSM, available through Essential Science Publishing, both Dr. Jacobs and Dr. Lawrence discuss how MSM has benefited hundred of patients. A UCLA neuro psychiatrist, Dr. Lawrence is convinced that MSM will revolutionize how millions of people deal with inflammatory autoimmune diseases like rheumatism, asthma, bursitis, and tendinitis, as well as auto immune diseases like arthritis, lupus, scleroderma, and allergies.

Other doctors have also seen their patients dramatically improve using 2 to 4 grams of MSM daily. According to David Blyweiss, M.D., of the Institute of Advanced Medicine in Lauderhill, Florida, many patients experience a 50 percent improvement in their arthritis symptoms, along with less fatigue, better sleep, and better ability to exercise. Dr. Lawrence has also used MSM to improve the condition of patients who were virtually crippled with arthritis and back pain. One patient was able to get out of bed for the first time after just two weeks on MSM. And after two months of MSM use, he could walk to the grocery store.

Another of Dr. Lawrence’s patients was a 70- year-old woman who was suffering from severe arthritis. In this case, MSM actually postponed the need for double knee replacement. In fact, after only two months on oral MSM, she was walking again with much less pain and stiffness.

Numerous other MSM users have experienced results equivalent to cortisone–but without side effects like immune suppression, fluid retention, and weakness.

According to Stanley Jacobs, M.D., there may be no pharmaceutical back pain therapy better–or safer–than MSM. “MSM has an important role to play in the nonsurgical treatment of back pain,” he said. “I have seen several hundred patients for back pain secondary to osteoarthritis, disc degeneration, spinal misalignment’s, or accidents. For such pain related conditions, MSM is usually beneficial.”

“I have been recommending MSM for more than six months,” said Richard Shaefer, a chiropractor from Wheeling, Illinois. “The results have been excellent. I consistently see major reduction in pain and inflammation in arthritic joints, along with improved range of motion. I can’t think of a single individual who isn’t getting some kind of positive effect.”

MSM may have other benefits aside from its pain and inflammation-reducing properties. Numerous patients have reported a surge in energy levels along with thicker hair, nails, and skin. Some have even reported a softening or disappearance of scar tissue.

One user reported a marked increase in stamina and energy after starting on MSM. “For a long while I have had the blahs,” complained Lou Salyer of Tucson, Arizona. “I had no stamina. I had to force myself to get things done around the house. After two days on MSM, it was like a blast of energy. I am amazed at how much I get done now.”

MSM may also do much more than relieve pain.

“Prior to taking MSM (30 grams a day for 20 years), I would have a cold or flu two or three times a year,” stated Dr. Jacobs. “Since I’ve been taking MSM, I’ve not had a single cold or the flu. I can’t say that MSM prevented my cold or the flu, but it is a fascinating observation.”

MSM contains an exceptionally bio-available source of sulfur, one of the most neglected minerals needed by the human body.

Carl Pfeiffer, M.D., Ph.D., a world-renowned expert on nutritional medicine, agrees, “Sulfur is the forgotten essential element.”

Found in such foods as garlic and asparagus, the sulfur within MSM is a critical part of the amino acids cysteine and methionine, which form the building blocks of the nails, hair, and skin. Sulfur is also found in therapeutic mineral baths and hot springs that have brought relief to arthritis sufferers for centuries.

MSM is very closely related to DMSO, a powerful pain reliever that was the subject of a 60 Minutes report in April, 1980. DMSO has been approved by the FDA for interstitial cystitis, a painful urinary tract condition.

MSM the Youth Nutrient

Of particular importance is MSM’s ability to equalize water pressure inside the cells–a considerable benefit for those plagued with bursitis, arthritis, and tendinitis. These kinds of inflammatory outbreaks are created when the water pressure inside the cells jumps past the pressure outside the cells, creating pressure and pain. MSM acts as a sort of cellular safety valve, affecting the protein envelope of the cell so that water transfers freely in and out of the cell. The result: rapid relief and less damage to tissues.

Because MSM elasticizes the hold between the cells, MSM can restore flexibility to inflamed tissues. When our bodies grow older and are chronically shortchanged of key minerals like sulfur and MSM, the bonds between our cells become increasingly rigid and brittle–a condition that can lead to a loss in skin flexibility and contribute to skin wrinkles. The internal manifestations of this cellular brittleness are far less visible but have a far greater negative impact on the body. MSM’s ability to reintroduce flexibility into cell structures, therefore, can have widespread restorative affects.

Assorted Ways to Use Essential Oils

January 14, 2010 in Application, Aromatherapy, Back Pain, Education, Essential Oils, First Aid tips, How do I use, Muscle Tension / Fatigue, PanAway, Peppermint, Using Essential Oils, Young Living Distributor by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

Using Young Living Essential Oils is easy when you know the different methods of application. These are some of the basic ways used to enhance your experience and further encourage benefitial results.

Rotating Essential Oils for Added Benefit

For daily use, you may find your essential oils to be more effective if you rotate through different oils. For example when treating pain, you might use “Pan Away” one day, then “Motivation” the next, then “Wintergreen” or “Peppermint” the next day, and then “Relieve It” the next day.

Layering Essential Oils

This technique consists of applying multiple oils one at a time, one at a time. For example, place a couple drops of marjoram over a sore muscle, massage it into the tissue gently until the area is dry, and then apply a second oil, such as peppermint (a couple drops), until the oil is absorbed and the skin is dry. Then layer on the third oil, such as basil (a couple drops), and continue massaging. Have your V-6 handy to use as your carrier oil to dilute your essential oils. If you’re new to Young Living essential oils, allow enough time (3-5 minutes) for the body to respond before applying a second oil.

Enhancing the Benefits of Topical Application

The longer essential oils stay in contact with the skin, the more likely they are to be absorbed. Unlike fatty oils, essential oils are volatile, meaning they will dissipate into the air. A high-quality lotion may be layered on top of the essential oils to reduce evaporation of the essential oils and enhance penetration. This may also help seal and protect cuts and wounds. Young Living’s Rose Ointment and even Animal Scents Ointment (yes, it’s people-grade quality!) can be good choices for sealing in your essential oils.

Note: Do not use ointments on burns until they are at least three days old, possibly a bit longer if it is a very bad burn.

When One Drop is Too Much

Sometimes you may find that one drop is too much at one time, this can be true if you’re using one of the Young Living essential oils in cooking recipes or in beverages. To obtain less than one drop you will want to use what we call “the toothpick method.” Dip the end of a toothpick into the center dripper hole of your bottle of essential oil, take the toothpick out and swirl it into your recipe or beverage for a pleasant added flavor. This is an especially good method this time of year when you want to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate flavored with peppermint.

See the list of Young Living essential oils that can be used in recipes and here are some of my favorite cooking with essential oil recipes.

How to Use Essential Oils with Acupressure

When performing acupressure treatment, apply 1 – 3 drops of essential oil to the acupressure point with your finger. Using an auricular probe with a slender point to dispense oil can enhance the application. Start by pressing firmly and then releasing. Avoid applying pressure to any particular pressure point too long. You may continue along the acupressure points and meridians or use the reflexology or Vita Flex points as well. Once you have completed small point stimulations, massage the general area with the essential oil.

4 Types of Eucalyptus and How To Use Them

December 16, 2009 in Air Freshener, Antifungal, Application, Aromatherapy, Back Pain, Best Essential Oils, Cold / Flu, Congestion / Respiratory, Eucalyptus, Family Health, First Aid tips, Fungus, How do I use, Pain, Quality / Pure, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil, Using Essential Oils, Young Living Distributor by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

Young Living Essential Oils is now growing eucalyptus globulus in Ecuador and they are finding that the oils produced in Ecuador have more constituents in higher percentages than anywhere else in the world. Eucalyptus globulus grown in Ecuador tests 10 times more powerful than Eucalyptus globulus grown in Australia. Possible reasons for this are the high elevation, and the rich volcanic ash soil that they are grown in; Ecuador has more volcanoes than anywhere else in the world.

  • Eucalyptus globulus and Eucalyptus dives are best applied topically or on the reflex points of the feet.
  • Eucalyptus  radiata and Eucalyptus polybractea are more suitable for diffusing, inhalation, rectal, and douche applications.

The scent of Eucalyptus is familiar to anyone that has consumed cough drops. Most Eucalyptus species are helpful for the respiratory tract and are useful in loosening and expectorating mucus.

4 kinds of Eucalyptus – some ways to use each eucalyptus-globulus-plant-tree

Eucalyptus globulus: is expectorant, mucolytic, antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti-fungal, antiviral, and antiseptic. It helps reduce infections in the throat and lungs, such as rhinopharyngitis, laryngitis, flu, sinusitis, bronchitis, bronchial asthma, and bronchial pneumonia.

Eucalyptol (1.8 cineol) occurs in high concentrations in Eucalyptus globulus and other eucalyptus species. It is responsible for the oil’s ability to decongest the lungs, clear sinus passages, and contributes to a good deal of its anti-infectious, respiratory supporting effects. This oil is especially useful during the cold and flu season.

Eucalyptus globulus is also very effective as an air purifier. It effectively removes odors and airborne bacteria.

According to Dr. Jean Valnet, M.D., a solution of only 2% Eucalyptus globulus can kill 70% of airborne Staphylococcus bacteria.

Dr. Jean Valnet M.D. recommends to use Eucalyptus globulus for: general antiseptic purposes, malaria, typhus, measles, reducing blood sugar, fighting respiratory infections, such as bronchitis, tuberculosis, influenza, pneumonia, and sinusitis, combating asthma, opening the sinus and respiratory tract, removing intestinal parasites and worms, treating wounds and burns. eucalyptus-radiata-plant

Eucalyptus radiata: is cooling, refreshing, and energizing. Lighter in smell than Eucalyptus globulus, it has many of the same supportive properties.

Because it is relatively gentle and nonirritating, it is the preferred choice for children. This variety is one of the most versatile of the eucalyptus oils and is suitable for topical use, diffusing, and even direct inhalation.

Euclyptus radiata is an ingredient in some of Young Living’s most popular blends. A few examples: R.C. (which stands for Respiratory Congestion), Raven and Thieves. These oils should be in your arsenal for cold & flu season.

Eucalyptus radiata is one of the best eucalyptus oils for diffusing.

Dr. Penoel recommends Eucalyptus radiata for rhinitis, bronchitis, cough, pulmonary infections, acnes asthma, and vaginitis.

The first sign of a cold or flu, a drop of oil can be added to a tablespoon of Honey or Agave and taken every hour for the first five hours, and 5 times a day thereafter until symptoms abate. You can also put the drops in an empty 00 capsule.

A drop or two of oil can also be sprinkled on a handkerchief or washcloth and inhaled directly as needed to help with respiratory or sinus conditions.

In cases of serious respiratory conditions or yeast infections, you can do an enema or vaginal application, which is recommend by Dr. Penoel. Add 1-2 drops of essential oils to 2-4 tablespoons of grape seed oil or V-6 massage oil.

Eucalyptus dives: This species is high in phellandrene and low in eucalyptol. It is excellent for use in topical application, as it may be less irritating to the skin than other eucalyptus varieties.

  • Avoid prolonged, direct inhalation
  • Dr. Penoel recommends Eucalyptus dives for: Sinusitis, ear infection (never put any essential oil directly into the ear canal!), vaginitis.
  • Best used in topical applications as it is the strongest and most caustic
  • Diffused, but avoid direct inhalation
  • Avoid using on infants, young children or pregnant moms

Eucalyptus polybractea (CT cineol): This chemotype boasts a cineol content of over 80% the highest of any eucalyptus oil. It is also low in aldehyde, which can irritate mucus membrane.

This is one of the strongest eucalyptus oils. This variety is high in eucalyptol (up to 95 percent ) and is well suited for topical application or diffusing.

Dr. Penoel recommends Eucalyptus polybractea CT cineol for: infection of the nasal membranes and chronic bronchitis.

  • The least irritating yet one of the most antimicrobial of the Eucalyptus oils
  • Suitable for most respiratory conditions
  • Diffused
  • Directly applied on the skin.
  • In enema or douche application
  • Diluted in honey or Agave for dietary supplement (1 drop only/per serving)

Note: Do NOT put any essential oil into the nasal cavity. Either inhale of diffuse.

Diffusing Eucalyptus

All of the oils may by diffused. The Young Living Essential Oil Diffuser, a cold-air nebulizer diffuser, has a special nebulizer that is custom designed to disperse the oils in a micro fiber vapor. This allows the oils to stay suspended in the air to reduce bacteria, fungi and mold. It also freshens the air with natural fragrances, eliminating the need for synthetic, harmful air fresheners. Read more about diffusing…

Topical Application of Eucalyptus

All of the Young Living essential oils can be applied to the Vita Flex points on the feet (see foot chart  and other foot care tips), added to bath water mixed with the Young Living Bath & Shower Gel Base or in 1/4 cu Epsom Salts or Sea Salt, applied topically or used with body and foot massage.

Pain Killers Are Killing People-Does That Mean They Worked?

November 27, 2009 in Alternative Therapies, Aromatherapy, Back Pain, Health, Massage Oils, Muscle Tension / Fatigue, Pain, Raindrop Technique, Wellness, Young Living Distributor, Young Living Essential Oils by Shayla | No comments

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.

Relaxation Massage Oil: promotes relaxation and eases tensions

November 12, 2009 in Aromatherapy, Back Pain, Essential Oils, Family Health, Health, Home Spa, Lifestyle, Massage Oils, Mind / Body / Soul, Quality / Pure, Relaxation, Spa / Wellness Products, Stress, Wellness, Young Living Essential Oils by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

Feeling good, relaxed and tension-free is very easy when you are empowered with the right tools. This is just one of the reasons why I love my Young Living essential oils. The blend of essential oils in the Relaxation Massage Oil are known for  promoting relaxation and easing tension. Another benefit is the aromatherapy side, the scent of Relaxation is divine. It’s so nice to know that when I’m inhaling the aroma of my essential oils that I know I am not getting any harmful chemicals – only the natural goodness of healing plants. Regular use of my essential oils, and a great massage with them, is my best defense for anti-aging. We deserve to treat ourselves well, even on a budget we can have the all-natural lifestyle we deserve.

Carrier Oils in Relaxation Massage Oil:

  • Coconut Oil (fractionated) is distilled from pure coconut oil. It is colorless, odorless, never goes rancid, and is easily washed out from fabrics.
  • Grape Seed Oil is light-textured, odorless, and nourishing to the skin.
  • Almond Oil is high in vitamin E and phytonutrients. Highly nourishing to the skin, it protects cell membranes from oxidative damage.
  • Wheatgerm Oil is rich in lecithin, vitamin E, and B vitamins. Protects skin from free radical damage. Moisturizing and noncomedogenic.
  • Olive Oil is rich in cell-protecting phytonutrients and antioxidants like squalene.  massage-oils-spa

Essential Oils in Relaxation Massage Oil:

  • Tangerine (Citrus nobilis) is soothing for anxiety and nervousness.
  • Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora) is soothing and nourishing to the skin. Weber State University has documented its antibacterial action.
  • Spearmint (Mentha spicata) oil helps support the respiratory and nervous systems. Its hormone-like activity may help open and release emotional blocks and bring about a feeling of balance.
  • Peppermint (Mentha piperita) cooling and invig orating, it blocks pain and itching. (Gobel et al., 1996). Antifungal and antibacterial.
  • Ylang ylang (Cananga odorata) is calming and brings about a sense of relaxation.
  • Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is highly regarded for the skin. Excellent for burns and for cleansing cuts, bruises, and skin irritations, it is uniquely calming and relaxing.

Other Young Living massage oils for targeted results are: Dragon Time (PMS, menopause, balancing), Sensation (romantic, skin softening), Ortho Sport (aches, stiffness, athlete’s), Cel-Lite Magic (cellulite, soothing), Ortho Ease (daily muscle soreness, aches).

Raindrop Technique for Mind, Body and Soul

October 19, 2009 in Alternative Therapies, Back Pain, Essential Oil Collections, Foot, Mind / Body / Soul, Oregano, Peppermint, Raindrop Technique, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil by Jonell Elder | No comments

raindrop-technique-kit

Raindrop Technique® combines the art of aromatherapy with the techniques of Vita Flex and massage in the application of essential oils to various areas of the body. Raindrop Technique provides a revolutionary means of bringing balance and harmony to the body – physically, mentally, and emotionally. Mind, body and soul.

Raindrop Therapy is a powerful, non-invasive tool for assisting the body in correcting defects in the curvature of the spine by utilizing infection fighting therapeutic-grade essential oils that are antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and antimicrobial.  During the years that it has been practiced, it has resolved numerous cases of scoliosis, kyphosis, (kyphosis-an abnormal, convex curvature of the spine, with a resultant bulge at the upper back) and chronic back pain.  Further, it has eliminated the need for back surgery for hundreds of people.  By integrating Vita Flex and massage, the power of essential oils brings the body into structural and electrical alignment.*

Vita Flex Technique means “vitality through the reflexes”. It is a specialized form of hand and foot massage that is exceptionally effective in delivering the benefits of essential oils throughout the body.  It is said to have originated in Tibet thousands of years ago.

Energy is released through electrical impulses created by contact between the fingertips and reflex points. This electrical charge follows the nerve pathways to a break or clog in the electrical circuit usually caused by toxins, damaged tissues, or loss of oxygen. Vita Flex uses a rolling and releasing motion. Rapid results are experienced when combining essential oils with Vita Flex stimulation.*

The ability of essential oils to penetrate the skin quickly and pass into bodily tissues to produce therapeutic effects has been studied. Essential oils are some of the most powerful inhibitors of microbes known and are an important weapon in combating many types of tissue infections.

Raindrop Technique is based on the idea, now being explored in a number of scientific studies, that many types of scoliosis and spinal misalignment’s are caused by viruses or bacteria that lie dormant along the spine.  These pathogens create inflammation, which, in turn, contorts and disfigures the spinal column.

Research in 2001 further corroborated the existence of infectious microorganisms as a cause of spine pain and inflammation.  Alistair Stirling and his colleges at the Royal Orthopedic Hospital in Birmingham, England, found that 53 percent of patients with severe sciatica tested positive for chronic, low-grade infection by gram-negative acteria (particularly Propionibacterium acnes) which triggered inflammation near the spine.  Stirling suggested that the reason these bacteria had not been identified earlier was because of the extended time required to incubate this material. (1)

The technique of Raindrop goes way beyond aromatherapy.  The use of therapeutic grade essential oils is very important, as using inferior or lesser quality oils would not give the same results and could actually be unsafe.  I use only Young Living Therapeutic Grade (YLTG) essential oils in the Raindrop Technique.

Note: All essential oils are NOT created equal. Most essential oils are of lower quality. Therefore, do NOT use the information provided here for other brands. Learn why quality is so important.

The ability of essential oils to penetrate the skin quickly and pass into bodily tissues to produce therapeutic effects has also been studied.  Hoshi University researchers in Japan found that cyclic monterpenes (including menthol, which is found in peppermint) are so effective in penetrating the skin that they can actually enhance the absorption of water-soluble drugs. (2)  North Dakota State University researchers have similarly found that cyclic monterpenes such as limonene and other terpenoids such as menthone and eugenol easily pass through the dermis, magnifying the penetration of pharmaceutical drugs such as tamoxifen.(3)

It is interesting to note that many essential oils used in Raindrop Technique, in addition to being highly anti-microbial, are also among those classified as GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) for internal use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  These include basil, marjoram, peppermint, oregano, and thyme.  These and many other GRAS essential oils have a decades-long history of being consumed as foods or flavoring with virtually no adverse reactions.

In summary: Raindrop Technique is one of the safest, noninvasive techniques available for spinal health.  It is also an invaluable tool to promote healing from within using topically applied essential oils. It may help with spinal misalignment’s, tissue cleansing, emotional release and with relaxation.

The Raindrop Technique includes these Young Living Therapeutic Grade essential oils;

  1. Valor-Balances energies to instill courage, confidence, and self-esteem.  It helps the body self-correct its balance and alignment.*
  2. Oregano-Uses-Arthritis/rheumatism, respiratory infectious diseases,  infections/tuberculosis, digestive problems.*

Raindrop Technique is easily learned.  When the Raindrop Technique Kit is purchased it comes with a DVD of instructions to learn how to preform the technique.  If you have any questions or need help in locating a Raindrop Technique practitioner in your area, please feel free to contact me.

Here is a “recipe” for Raindrop in a Bottle:

Fill a 5ml bottle with the following Young Living therapeutic grade essential oils & keep on hand for quick application.  The recipe fills the bottle half way.

  1. Valor                 25 drops
  2. Oregano           10 drops
  3. Thyme                5   drops
  4. Basil                     5   drops
  5. Cypress              5   drops
  6. Wintergreen     5   drops
  7. Marjoram         5   drops
  8. Peppermint      5   drops
  9. Aroma Siez       5   drops

If you do not have anyone to apply the oils to your spine, put the oils on the bottoms of the feet on the spinal reflexes. This is good in assisting the immune system.*

If one has respiratory challenges, apply on the bottom of the feet on the spinal reflexes and the balls of the feet and on the chest.  Keep in mind that you may need to apply V6 to the chest, as the skin may be sensitive to the oils.*
