While there are no guarantees that any of us could be living to 103 years old ,
(although I have the genes since my mom is 93 years old with a sharp mind
and still taking care of herself!, She does have Diabetes and aches and pains
which unfortunately since I live in another country from where she lives and
Young Living doesn’t deliver there, it is hard to help her  as I would like ),
many factors can contribute to at least living
a more vibrant and healthy life as we age!

We do take so much for granted living in the US…that whatever we want and order will be
delivered right to our doorstep!

Nutrition, Exercise, Social interaction, some kind spiritual or religious belief
system, something that makes you want to get up in the morning, all play a part
in helping us maintain our bodies, mind  and joy of life.
(whether we have the good genes or not!! )

As the quality of our food supply diminishes and is laden with chemicals, we need
more than any time in our history to know how to clean out toxins, boost our
immune system and take a preventative and maintenance approach to our health!

If you don’t take responsibility for your health, who will?

Young Living has a huge array of supplements designed to help us take responsibility
for our own health!

NingXia Red is one of those supplements! Take a look at the history of Ningxia wolfberries!

As the temperatures rise, be sure to give yourself the cooling, minty refreshment that Young Living’s peppermint essential oil provides. One of the best things to do during a hot, summer evening is to rub some soothing peppermint on the bottoms of your feet.

There are very few things out there that can soothe and relax while also giving you the clarity, focus, and pick-me-up that you need during a day when you feel just a little off. Peppermint falls into that rare category, which makes it such a vital and outstanding part of your aromatherapy and essential oil options.

Some exciting research has been done with peppermint essential oil that studies an increase of concentration and alertness and even memory. Simply take your bottle of Young Living peppermint oil and place a drop of the oil on your tongue or add it to flavor and cool your water, lemonade, or favorite tea.

Let’s examine a few other exciting and versatile ways you can utilize your peppermint oil and reap the benefits of nature’s living energy:

* Add a drop of peppermint essential oil to herbal tea to help aid normal digestion.
* Massage several drops of peppermint essential oil on your abdomen, place a drop on your wrists, or inhale to soothe the minor stomach discomfort associated with travel.
* Rub one drop of peppermint essential oil on your temples, forehead, over your sinuses (careful to avoid contact with your eyes), and on the back of your neck to relieve head pressure.
* Place two drops of peppermint essential oil on your tongue and rub another drop of oil under your nose to help improve concentration and alertness.
* Apply peppermint essential oil to the back of your neck and shoulders throughout the day to keep energy up.
* Inhale peppermint essential oil, apply topically to your temples or neck, or put a drop on your tongue or in water to jump-start your morning routine.
* Diffuse or inhale peppermint essential oil mid-morning to curb the desire to snack.
* Inhale peppermint essential oil or rub a drop onto your abdomen to soothe minor stomach discomfort.

It is a gorgeous, bright ,sunny April Saturday, if a bit windy day, here in
North Carolina.

Continuing on my recent e-mail about the need to keep an Emergency
Use Only First Aid Kit!

Therapeutic-grade essential oils are excellent to work against bacteria and viruses,
so they are a natural to have on hand for any type of emergency!

I have been promising to do this forever and end up using my oils, but finally I am
serious now about this because I would feel like a real fool if there was any kind of
weather related emergency and I was not prepared!

I bought a special container by Carboddles (bright yellow cosmetic
container from Walmart with a handle that can hold 8 essential oil bottles).
Of course, thinking now maybe it should be a bigger container to hold things like
bandaids, flash light etc.

But for now I am concentrating on filling up my Essential Oil First kit!

Of course, you can also order cases from:

http://www.abundanthealth4u.com/Aroma_Ready_Carrying_Cases_s/193.htm

Last e-mail, I sent information on Melaleuca Alternifolia(Tea Tree oil)
as the #1 oil because it has over 200 uses!

My #2 Essential oil for my kit is going to be Di-Gize!

I was excited to see that Di-Gize is one of the Young Living FREEBIE’s for
April with 180 pv.

I know I have told this story before, but there are some new people on my e-mail list,
so sharing again. Last year, my son, Jon went to Vietnam with a group of college kids
and got food poisoning from eating sushi! Well thankfully, he had his First Aid kit and
I was confident that the Di-Gize I had send with him would do the job! And sure enough,
after a few hours, he was well again!.No emergency room, hospital in a strange country!

Di-Gize is excellent for any type of candida,indigestion,stomach discomfort, nausea,
chronic constipation and of course food poisoning!

Di-Gize is a blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils of tarragon, juniper,anise,ginger,fennel,patchouli,peppermint and
lemongrass.

See below a u-tube explanation by Kenneth, one of our yl distributors on Di-Gize.

Kenneth is right, Di-Gize, is one of those oils I don’t use all the time, but am I
thankful to have it available for any type of digestion problem that may arise.

BTW,for those in the area, I am also giving a class on
“Setting Up Your Own Natural First Aid Kit For Disasters”
at Lotus Living Yoga Arts Studio in Concord, North Carolina
on Wednesday 20th April at 6:30pm.
You get to take home a FREE oil sample!

From childhood and as we go through life, different challenging experiences can result in us holding onto fear, pain, anger and other negative emotions.

Even when we are not aware of this underlying emotional turmoil, it can have a negative effect on how we view the world and as a result how we experience the world around us.

Therapeutic-grade essential oils when inhaled, work on the limbic part of the brain that stores our memories and emotions. We can be pleasantly surprised when we use essential oils over a period of time and find our emotions have balanced out and we feel more uplifted.

The Feelings Kit from Young Living has 6 oil blends that promote emotional and psychological balance and well-being. CD enclosed.

Explore the wonderful blends of Forgiveness, Harmony, Inner Child, Present Time, Release, Valor.

Research has shown that the effects of fragrance and aromatic compounds
on the sense of smell an exert strong effects on the brain especially on the
hypothalamus (the hormone command center of the body) and limbic system
( the seat of emotions). Some essential oils high in sesquiterpenes, such as
myrrh, sandalwood, cedarwood, vetiver, melissa, and frankincense, can
dramatically increase oxygenation and activity in the brain. This may directly
improve the function of many systems of the body.

When a fragrance is inhaled, the odor molecules travel up the nose where
they are trapped by olfactory membranes that are well protected by the
lining inside the nose. Each odor molecule fits like a little puzzle piece
into specific receptor cell sites that line a membrane known as the olfactory
epithelium. Each one of the hundreds of millions of nerve cells is replaced
every 28 days. When stimulated by odor molecules, this lining of nerve cells
triggers electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb in the brain. The olfactory
bulb then transmits the impulses to the gustatory center (where emotional
memories are stored), and other parts of the brain that directly connected to
those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing,
memory, stress levels, and hormone balance, essential oils can have a pro-
found physiological and psychological effects.

The sense of smell is the only one of the 5 senses directly linked to the limbic
lobe of the brain, the emotional control center. Anxiety, depression, fear, anger,
and joy all emanate from this region. The scent of a special fragrance can evoke
memories and emotions before we are even consciously aware of it. When smells
are concerned, we react first and think later. All other senses (touch, taste, hearing,
and sight) are routed through the thalamus, which acts as the switchboard for the
brain, passing stimuli onto the cerebral cortex (the conscious thought center) and
other parts of the brain.

The limbic lobe (a group of brain structures that includes the hippocampus and
amygdale located below the cerebral cortex) can also directly activate the hypothal-
amus. The hypothalamus is one of the most important parts of the brain, acting as
our hormonal control center. It releases chemical messengers that can affect every-
thing from sex drive to energy levels. The production of growth hormones, sex
hormones, thyroid hormones, and neurotransmitters such as serotonin, are all
governed by the hypothalamus, thus, the hypothalamus is refereed to the
“master gland.”

Essential oils–through their fragrance and unique molecular structure–can
directly stimulate the limbic lobe and the hypothalamus. Not only can the inhalation
of essential oils be used to combat stress and emotional trauma, but it can also stimulate
the production of hormones from the hypothalamus. This results increased thyroid
hormones (our energy hormone) and growth hormones(our youth and longevity hormone).

Through inhalation studies they have found that diffusing essential oils can heightened
level of activity in the hypothalamus and limbic systems of the brain, which can have
dramatic effects on not only emotions, learning and attitude, but also many physical
processes of the body, such as immune function, hormone balance, and energy levels.
High levels of sesquiterpenes occur in melissa, myrrh, cedarwood and clove, vetiver,
patchouli, sandalwood, and frankincense, can increase levels of oxygen in the brain by
up to 28%.

Diffusing or directly inhaling essential oils can have an immediate positive impact on mood.
Olfaction is the only sense that can have direct effects on the limbic region of the brain.
Studies at the University of Vienna have shown that some essential oils and their primary
constituents (cineol) can stimulate blood flow and activity in the emotional regions of the brain.

Clinical studies at the Department of Psychiatry at the Mie University of Medicine showed
that Lemon not only reduced depression but reduced stress when inhaled.

Testimonies:
I suffered from depression for a short while with a very stressful job. My doctor gave me a
prescription drug for it. I did not want to go that route but had no choice. A few months later
I was introduced to the oils. One of the oils was Peace and Calming for depression. I slowly
weaned myself off of the depression drug and have been rubbing Peace and Calming on my
feet every day. No more depression! Wow, these oils are a miracle! Janice E.
I had been taking an anti-depressant (prozac) for a few years then I was introduced to Ruta
Vala. I began by putting Ruta Vala on the back of my neck (bottom of the brain stem) before
bed and taking a capsule of 4 to 5 drops in the morning or whenever I remembered.

I did that for a few days then kept taking a little more prozac out of the capsule and adding
a drop or 2 of Ruta Vala. I did this until I had no more prozac to remove. Now I just take
one capsule of Ruta Vala once a week (about 8 to 10 drops) and no more prozac.
Dawn Child
*********
With the help of many essential oils, I am getting off Prozac. Aside from excercise, light
therapy and supplements I apply and smell the Young Living oil’s Valor, Frankincense,
Peace and Calming, etc. I am getting needed oxygen to my brain and cells. I feel blessed!
Sheli Toepfer
********
I have lost both beloved parents within 6 months and credit the following ‘formula’ for
helping me out of a deep depression after the first death, and getting me through the
second funeral with much more grace and dignity than I would’ve been able to muster
without the oils: Put a drop of Valor on your wrist and hold your other wrist against it
for a moment (drives the oil in). Put Harmony on all chakra points, and a drop of Joy
over your heart. Try this for grief or depression. Nancy S.
Depression is a battle I fight on a daily basis. I was diagnoses with Bi-polar Disorder. I
believe I have had this since I was a child, but was only diagnosed with this as an adult.
I don’t like being on prescription drugs because they are not only expensive, but most of
them are highly addictive and you never know what side affects you will have as a result
of taking them. Since becoming aware of the wonderful benefits of using essential oils,
I use Lavender and Peace & Calming Essential oils on a daily basis.

I have tried Valor Essential Oil, and it was alright, but not really enough for me. I recently
came upon Joy Essential Oil, and that has made all the difference! I don’t feel depressed
or overwhelmed when I apply this on a daily basis. I apply 1-2 times a day the same as I
apply oils for migraines. I love the smell of the Joy Essential Oil – when I breathe it in,
it brings me a sense of security somehow. Hollie D.

Young Living’s NingXia Red has pomegranate and is the highest antioxidant liquid dietary supplement from whole food sources.

Hi Everyone,

 

Hope all is well with you.

  

Enjoying the beautiful fall season here in North Carolina. I  live in an area with lots of trees and they are all in various stages of gold, red, green and orange.

 

Dealing with the ups and downs of life, I do continue to be grateful for having been introduced to the essential oils and supplements of Young Living which I give credit to be able at this time in my life not to be on any medication whatsoever! Quite different from in my twenties when I was on medication, inhalers and injections for Asthma!

 

Since the flu seems to be a huge fear of many these days whether because it is truly worse then other years or whether it is simply extra hype from the drug companies depends on your individual belief system. 

 

Either way, it makes sense to boost your immune system!  9 years ago, I  first became aware of the increase of superbugs in our world and the need for us to continually cleanse and boost our immune system from Dr. Young of Young Living.

 

KEEPING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM FIT!
There are many preventive measures that we can take to have a healthy, strong, immune system……..eating healthy foods, exercise, rest, sleep.  

  

And of course at the first sign of any dis-ease, we can give our bodies a boost with our essential oils and supplements.

 

As our food supply continues to be sprayed with pesticides and the soil depleted of their natural nutrients, it is more and more necessary to use supplements to keep our bodies healthy!

 

 

SUPPLEMENTS

At Young Living we have supplements that help support your immune system. Some of these supplements  are:

NingXia Red – Provides a rich supply of free radical-destroying antioxidants in a delicious beverage. Drinking NingXia Red daily will increase your energy and supply your body with important nutrients to help you live life to the fullest, regardless of your age.

ImmuPro – Is packed with some of the most powerful immune stimulants known, including wolfberry polysaccharide and beta glucan (a polysacharide from reish, maitake, and Agaricus blazei mushrooms).

  

Inner Defense soft gels - Containing antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral essential oils, Inner Defense is designed to eliminate the maximum spectrum of pathogenic organisms, reduce the risk of infectious deisease and act as an antioxidant. For best results, use Life5 probiotic 8 hours after use.

Exodus - It is explained as a super charged antioxidant formula which contains echinacea and other herbs that work synergistically to strengthen natural immune response. In addition, it contains a biblical blend of essential oils found to be immune systems boosters.

THERAPEUTIC-GRADE ESSENTIAL OILS
Therapeutic-grade essential oils can play a major role in helping us to keep our immune systems strong.   Single essential oils are supportive to our bodies, but the blends work together to be even more effective.Some oil blends to consider are:

 

ImmuPower - Strengthens immunity and DNA repair in the cells. It is strongly antiseptic and anti-infectious.

 

Thieves - One of our most popular oil blends because of the highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-infectous properties of the essential oils of clove, lemon, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus and  rosemary.  Through research, Gary Young, found that this blend was used by Thieves  during the plague of the l5th century and even though they robbed people who had succumbed to the plague, they themselves did not get sick. Research at Weber State University shows a 99% reduction in the number of gram positive Micrococcus luteus organism after diffuing 20 mins.

  

(We also have an amazing line of Thieves infused products from toothpaste to cleaning supplies)

 

Longevity –

Contains the highest antioxidant and DNA protecting essential oils. When taken as a dietary supplement, Longevity promotes longevity and prevents premature aging. (also longevity softgels)

 

RC- Respiratory care - My favorite oil which helped me in dealing with my Asthma. Gives relief from colds, bronchitis, sore throats, sinusitis, coughs and respiratory congestion. Decongests sinus passages, combats lung infections, and relieves allergy symptons.

  

The ability of essential oils to act on both the mind and the body is what makes them truly unique among natural therapeutic agents.

  

Essential oils are not simple substances. They are are made up of hundreds, even thousands of different chemicals. Any given essential oil may contain any where from 80-300 or more different chemical constituents.

“Used to  treat every conceivable ill known to man,” frankinscense was valued more than gold during ancient times, and only those with great wealth and abundance possessed it. It is mentioned in one of the oldest known medical records. Ebers Papyrus (dating from sixteenth century B.C.) an ancient Egyptian list of 877 prescriptions and recipes.

 

Frankinscense contains sesquiterpenes which stimulate the limbic system of the brain (the center of memory and emotions) and the hypothalamus, pineal and pituitary glands. The hypothalamus is the master gland of the human body, producing many vital hormones including thyroid and growth hormone.

Galbanum (Ferula gummosa) was used for both medicinal and spiritual purposes. It is antimicrobial and supporting of the body. When combined with frankincense and sandalwood, its frequency increases dramatically.
