Essential Oils for Winter

During the frigid winter months, there is always the potential for several unique health concerns that are common during this time of year to come about. The inclement weather tends to keep people indoors in crowded areas, where they are more susceptible to sharing viruses and bacteria. The cold, dry air can often lead to dry skin and chapped lips.
For each of the many wintertime problems, there are several common essential oil recommendations that can help prevent or ease the symptoms of these common wintertime maladies.
"Lavender oil is great for all around wellness. I use it on my face for winter wind burns."
—Jeanette Jolley, California, USA
"Dry and cracked hands in the wintertime are a problem, so mixing a few drops of Lavender with hand lotion really helps keep them from cracking open and bleeding."
—Karen Thomas, Pennsylvania, USA

Cel-Lite Magic™ - Do you mean Cellulite?


Yes, the Young Living product Cel-Lite Magic™ does sound like cellulite. It gives the skin a wonderful sheen and smells intriguingly delicious. With the therapeutic-grade essential oils of grapefruit, juniper and cedarwood, you've a massage oil that is exquisite.
Once Dr. Mercola said that he improved his eyesight dramatically with the oils that are just found in Cel-Lite Magic™. So I began to massage this oil in a wide circle around my eyes. (Be careful not to get it in the eye!)
I love the feeling, the smell, the effects. Now I apply the oil around my eyes often before going to bed, especially in times when my eyes are burning and weak from a long day of computer work. When I awake in the morning, my eyes are strong again and the redness is gone.

The wonderful ingredients of this magical product Cel-Lite Magic™ massage oil combine the healthful benefits of specially selected vegetable oils with vitamin E and therapeutic-grade essential oils to tone and nourish the skin.
Grapefruit essential oil is beneficial for improving skin texture, and juniper oil may work as a detoxifier and cleanser that is also beneficial to the skin.
How to use: Massage on locations where firming and toning is desired. Shake well before using. Store in a cool, dry place.
WARNING: Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, flush area with vegetable oil.
Ingredients: Fractionated Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Citrus Paradisi+ (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Cupressus Sempervirens† Oil, Cedrus Atlantica+ (Cedarwood) Bark Oil, Juniperus Osteosperma+ Aerial Parts Oil, Juniperus Scopulorum+ Aerial Parts Oil, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Salvia Sclarea+ (Clary) Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, and Olea Europaea++ (Olive) Fruit Oil.

Air Purification

With an increase in burning of wood, coal, and heating oil to keep warm, and cold air keeping air pollution closer to the ground, there is typically a higher amount of air pollution in the air than normal during the winter months. This increased pollution can lead to several different respiratory problems.
According to Connie and Alan Higley, authors of the Reference Guide for Essential Oils, "Diffusing essential oils in the home or work place is one of the best ways to purify our environment. The anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and antiseptic properties of the oils, along with the negative ions and oxygenating molecules that are released when essential oils are diffused all help to reduce chemicals, bacteria, and metallics in the air." (page 311)
Several oils they recommend for air purification include cypress, eucalyptus, fir, grapefruit, lavender, lemon (to sterilize the air), lime and rosemary.
Peppermint oil is a favorite which I…diffuse to kill bacteria and freshen the air—especially during wintertime when doors and windows cannot be opened.

Part Seven – The Journey to Sacred Frankincense

I met with Sheikh Hamdan, head of one of the largest corporations in Salalah, with businesses in construction, financing, general trade, etc. The Hamdan Group also owns a private hospital. Sheikh Hamdan and his son, Mr. Abdullah, are very interested in Young Living’s frankincense venture in Oman and want to help us.
Sheikh Hamdan has worked as an overseer and coordinator of the people who harvest the frankincense resin in the Dhofar region. He also confirmed that he has not had any other American or anyone from Utah come to do research, start a new business, nor investigate the Omani frankincense.
When I visited with the Minister of Agriculture, the President of the Chamber of Commerce and Trade, and the Minister of Business Trade and Export, they confirmed that they had never met with any American, nor had an export permit been requested, irrespective of the fact that no codes existed for exportation of frankincense resin or oil.
It is sad that there is so much deception in the world of essential oils. Very few people have had enough experience to know what questions to ask, what to look for, or have paid the price to know the difference between the resin species and to determine which of the five different grades they are and their quality. Why must the talk about this sacred oil be marred with the negative side of the essential oil industry that is about money and power? Only those who are a part of that deception can answer that question.
For me, its name bears that meaning, and I feel blessed and privileged to be in the country of Oman to be a part of bringing God’s sacred frankincense to the world. Since March of 2010, Young Living has built two distilleries that are in operation six days a week in Salalah, Oman, and we are preparing to install a third one by 2011.
It is noteworthy that the cancer rate in Oman is much lower than in other countries of the world. Mahmoud Suhail, M.D., our partner in the Omani frankincense venture, recently shared with me the latest disease statistics for Oman. Out of a population of almost three million, the total number of malignancies in Oman in 2008 was 1,992, with total deaths of 194. The population of the United States is 305 million, and in 2009 there were 1,479,350 cases of cancer with 562,000 deaths.
Dr. Suhail wrote, “This means during 2008 and per every 10,000 population, 7 got cancer in Oman, while 48.5 got cancer in the United States.” That’s 6.9 times more cancer in the U.S. than in Oman! Because the cancer rate is so low in Oman, there are no oncology wards in the Omani hospitals in the Dhofar region.
Interestingly enough, the Omani people, unfortunately, have many factors that favor or promote cancer such as smoking, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, low exercise levels, and bad food habits. But they’re doing something right. Could it be that their use of frankincense has had its impact in the prevention of cancer? Some Omanis believe that their cancer-free life is a result of burning the frankincense resin and chewing it daily.

The Boswellia sacra frankincense that was taken to the Christ Child–the holy anointing oil–the sacred frankincense–has been found to carry very high if not the highest sesquiterpene levels, highest boswellic acids, highest (D.R.C.) DNA-repair capacity, and highest anti-cancer properties in the world. After 15 years of planning and preparation, this highly prized, ancient oil is now available only from Young Living, the World Leader in Essential Oils. I am proud that we have the two finest species of frankincense in Young Living–Boswellia carterii and now, our new addition, Boswellia sacra.
With respect and admiration for those who seek the truth, I offer my best wishes for a day of discovery and learning, a day of truth.

Part Six: The Journey to Sacred Frankincense

After 15 years of traveling to and from Oman, building relationships with the people there, and acquiring their trust, I was able to fulfill a 15-year-old dream–to build a distillery in Oman and be the first in hundreds of years to distill the sacred frankincense.  After months of paperwork and waiting for the country of Oman to write the code, we were finally able to obtain permits to export Boswellia sacra to the U.S. and Ecuador. For that, we have to thank the wonderful people of Oman and our partner and manager, Mahmoud Suhail, M.D.

Boswellic acids are some of the main compounds found in the frankincense species of sacra and carterii that science is claiming to be anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory. Boswellia sacra has the highest amount of boswellic acids, at 42 percent; and carterii has almost as high an amount, with 40 percent.
It is most interesting that frereana found outside the U.S. shows an extremely low percentage of boswellic acids, ranging from perhaps 2 to 3 percent, but the frereana marketed in the U.S. has been analyzed by an independent U.S. laboratory and shown to have virtually no boswellic acid in its chemical structure.
In all of my travels while filming the documentary of the Frankincense Trail titled The One Gift and during the 15 years of research that I used in writing my book, a companion to the film, which was published in June 2010, also called The One Gift, never did I see other Americans, and certainly no one from Utah, doing research in Oman.

Part Five – The Journey to Sacred Frankincense

I was excited to find Boswellia frereana in the marketplace in Cairo. This species was known as “The King of Frankincense” because ancient royalty desired to possess it because of its sweet perfume fragrance. However, when Dr. Farag and his students analyzed it, they found that the main compounds responsible for healing and regeneration were not present.
It was most interesting that the frankincense taken out of King Tutankhamun’s tomb resembled the frankincense species of sacra or carterii, not frereana. All the legends from ancient prophets indicate that sacra or carterii were the only species used to anoint and heal. Frereana was never used.
The frankincense from the Hadhramaut was the most desired, because the crystal-like resin drops called hojari come from there, which is the highest grade of frankincense known to exist. In the studies of the ancient world, it is accepted knowledge that the frankincense taken to the Christ Child came from present-day Oman–the Boswellia sacra hojari–the Sacred Frankincense. This is history! These are the facts!
It is amazing to me how people can make claims out of thin air with absolutely no knowledge or experience to back them up. People who have never traveled or conducted research pretend to be experts by copying and parroting other people’s research and literature, or they simply make up their own story.
When frereana came on the market about two years ago, distributors asked me over and over again why Young Living didn’t have frereana from Oman. My answer has always been the same. First, frereana does not come from Oman. Second, frereana is double the price of carterii because the perfume companies have a monopoly on it. Third, it is inferior in that it is not meant for healing but for perfume. To be sold for a lower price, it cannot be of a pure and natural origin, as has been verified by a gas chromatogram analysis (GC) perform by the Central Service Analytical Laboratories in Lyons, France, the number one analytical laboratory for essential oils in the world.
Study Shows Powerful Boswellic Acids Lacking in Boswellia frereana
Although the LC/LC/ESI-MS analysis of frankincense from B. frereana revealed peaks corresponding to the retention times of the boswellic acids (1–6; Fig. 3E), this gum-resin obviously does not contain appreciable amounts of the boswellic acids (1–6) which is in accordance with the results obtained by Mathe et al. They did not find any of the boswellic acids (1–6) in a botanically certified gum-resin of B. frereana with HPLC/UV at 210 nm. (Emphasis added.)
Frank A, Unger M, “Analysis of frankincense from various Boswellia species with inhibitory activity on human drug metabolising cytochrome P450 enzymes using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry after automated on-line extraction,” J. Chromatogr. A., 1112 (2006) 255-262.

Part Four – The Journey to Sacred Frankincense

I had no idea how or why this was happening and wondered if this was to be my demise. However, my curiosity completely overshadowed any fear that I had, and at the specified time, I went downstairs. No one seemed to pay any attention to me, and as I cautiously walked towards the door, the black car pulled up, the door opened, and I quickly went outside. The man inside the car reached out and took my suitcase and made room for me as I climbed inside. I definitely had an unnerving feeling as I closed the door and the car sped away.
A man with the same voice that I had heard on the phone introduced himself to me and said that he had come to help me. He took me to a small shop in Giza Square where I met Khadija, an angelic-looking American lady. She was dressed in a white, flowing gown, and with the sun reflecting off the glass behind her, she looked like an angel who had just come from heaven.
She said she had been told about me and my work and wanted to help. She was engaged to the Minister of Antiquities and said that her fiancée would give me written permission to visit all the places that I wanted to go, which opened up Egypt to me in a way I never dreamed possible.
It was one of the most rewarding times of my life in my research and quest to learn about frankincense. Since then I have returned to Egypt many times and made 15 trips into the Middle East, which includes Yemen and Socotra Island. I asked many questions as I studied the history that kept me following different leads, stories, and legends to so many different places. The desert, the mountains, the ruins, the villages, and the old people all gave me clues, besides what I found in the libraries, museums, and universities.
I thoroughly enjoyed studying biblical archaeology at the Hebrew University and being able to travel and see so many historical sites in Israel. I was so grateful for the time that I was able to spend with Dr. Farag at the Cairo University, from whom I learned much about the possibilities of essential oils and their chemical constituents.

Part Three – The Journey to Sacred Frankincense


As I sat in my hotel room feeling deeply disappointed, I remembered a message that I had received from my friends Eldon and Nancy Knittle a week earlier when I was in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, giving an interview on a television talk show. At the same time, they were in Dallas, Texas, giving a Young Living meeting in a health food store. Although it was late when I returned to my room after the interview, I quickly called them.
When I talked with Nancy on the phone, she told me that after their meeting, a stranger who was in the audience came up to her and handed her a piece of paper with a phone number on it. He said he was an Egyptian and hoped that she could reach me before I left for Egypt. He said it would be important for me to have the number when I arrived and for me to please call if I needed any help. Then without further explanation, he turned and disappeared out the door.
I remember that as I hung up the phone, a strange feeling came over me. Was this a new mystery? After all, I was going to Egypt. But how did the stranger know I was going there? It was rather intriguing. I scribbled the number on a piece of paper, stuffed it into my wallet, and then turned to my unpacked suitcase that was waiting for me. I had to hurry and finish packing as my flight left early in the morning. With all that I had to do, I never gave our “stranger” another thought until now.
I pulled my wallet out of my pocket to quickly look through all the little pieces of paper I had accumulated. If the number was for real, this was the moment to find out. To my relief, I found the paper still there and quickly dialed the number. When the voice on the other end said hello, I introduced myself and started to explain my situation. He carefully interrupted and said, “Yes, I have been waiting for your call.” He gave me a very specific time to go down to the front of the hotel with my things. I was not to speak to anyone, and when a black car pulled up, I was to get in quickly; and then he hung up.

Part Two – The Journey to Sacred Frankincense

My head was spinning, trying to figure out what this was all about and what I was going to do, since it appeared that my first opportunity to be in Egypt looked like it was headed for disaster. I so wanted to know why Christ, as a child, fled to Egypt, since I’m sure there were other places he could have gone. What was the frankincense story all about? I had hoped to discover why frankincense was found in Tutankhamun’s tomb when it was opened by Howard Carter in 1922.
Why was Christ the only child recorded in historical writings to receive frankincense, myrrh, and gold at his birth? Yet, even that was shrouded with mystery as the definition in the Sabaic Dictionary, published by the University of Sana’a in 1982, states: “Gold, a type of incense.” That was a clue to something new that really piqued my interest.
Historically, at that time, incense was far more prized than gold. If frankincense and myrrh were given as precious gifts, why would gold, a much lesser commodity, be given as well? How did frankincense and myrrh equate to gold? As I started putting together what I had learned with what had been written, it just didn’t make sense.
Through my research and in asking questions in that part of the world, I learned that balsam oil was anciently called “liquid gold.” That seemed to be common knowledge in the Arabian world. So then I had to ask myself, “Did the translator leave out the word liquid because it didn’t seem important, or was it simply not understood?”  I was fascinated with it all and was driven to find the truth.

Part One – The Journey to Sacred Frankincense

My journey began 18 years ago when I traveled to Egypt in search of the answers to many questions about the mysteries of essential oils hidden in the ancient ruins and hieroglyphics of Egyptian history. I was excited to study essential oil chemistry with Dr. Radwan Farag, PhD, dean of the Biochemistry Department at Cairo University, who at that time was the most published authority on essential oils in the world.
Tourism had already been greatly restricted in Egypt when I heard the announcement in the London airport requesting that all passengers traveling to Egypt report to the Customer Service Counter of Egypt Air immediately. All nonresidents were being advised not to travel there because there was tremendous tension and upheaval in the country, and it was extremely dangerous. Tickets were being changed and refunded for all foreigners except one. I knew I had to go, and I just couldn’t let this stand in my way of what I felt was to be a great adventure into the discovery of the unknown.
As I boarded the Egypt Air flight to Cairo, all eyes of the 38 Egyptian citizens were on me as I placed my camera bag in the overhead compartment. As the plane lifted off the ground, I had a strange feeling of anticipation, wondering what would happen to this lone American. When the jet landed and came to a stop, the stairs were rolled up to the door, but as I moved towards the exit, the head flight attendant asked me to let all the Egyptian citizens off first.
As the last passenger to leave the plane and walk down the stairs, I saw why I was detained. A military escort was waiting on the tarmac to go with me to pick up my luggage and take me through immigration, customs, and then into a black car waiting in the taxi lane. The military police drove me to a downtown hotel where I was checked in and told not leave the premises until my departure two weeks later.

Essential Oils and Physical Abuse

Golden Touch 1 KitGolden Touch 1™ is an excellent Young Living essential oil kit to use for those healing from the trauma of physical abuse. Many times the visual effects of abuse heal, but the emotional damage remains. Negative emotions, if left unchecked, can move into the stomach, kidneys, liver, heart, or other vital systems in the form of anger, pain, and fear. If overlooked, these negative emotions can be locked in the body, reeking havoc on emotional and physical health. Some ignore the negative energy, making the emotions dig deeper into the body.
The Golden Touch 1 kit from Young Living can help release deep, negative emotions to help the healing process. Try these simple ideas:
Di-Gize™
If experiencing ongoing digestive issues, take a few drops of Di-Gize and rub some on your abdomen to help unwind emotions stored in the stomach.
EndoFlex™
Apply a few drops of EndoFlex over the kidney area to help release anger.
JuvaFlex™
Apply JuvaFlex to the bottom of the feet to discharge any toxins and help release emotional discomfort out of the tissues.
Melrose™
Abuse can be taxing to your system. By applying a few drops of Melrose to your solar plexus (upper stomach area), you can help reduce mental fatigue.
Raven™
Apply a few drops of Raven to the chest to release tension in your body that is hard to process.
R.C.™
The lungs and circulatory system can also be affected by physical abuse. Diffuse R.C. (or smell it right from the bottle) to process negative emotions stored in these important areas.
Thieves®
Apply Thieves to the feet to support your body’s immune system while creating a feeling of protection and courage.
Peace be with you,
Kaye Lynne

Starting Your Day with Yoga, Peppermint, and Lavender

lavender
I can’t think of a better way to start the day than with a few basic yoga techniques and two very opposite, yet balancing oils: peppermint and lavender.
The yoga sun salutations can be done just about anywhere and doing them regularly helps with flexibility of the spine and warms up and loosens the muscles of the shoulders, back, neck, and arms. The following is a modified step-by-step sun salutation to help you open physically, mentally, and energetically to each new day.
First, get your Young Living peppermint and lavender essential oils.  Place one drop of peppermint and two to three drops of lavender onto your left palm. Gently rub your right palm over your left to mix the oils together.
Stand up straight and tall with your feet together, cupping your hands together over your nose, and gently inhale the blend of peppermint and lavender deeply for three to five breaths, setting your intentions for your day. Ground your feet into the floor by lifting and spreading all ten toes, then placing them firmly back onto the floor. Lift the inner arches of your feet, lift your inner anklebones up, and lift your kneecaps, so that your thigh muscles engage. Lengthen your tailbone down towards the floor, making sure you are not tilting your pelvis forward, nor arching at your lower back. Soften your ribs, and with each breath, lift your breastbone, widened your collarbones, and bring your shoulder blades down your back. Keep lifting your head towards the ceiling.
Notice how the peppermint essential oil helps stimulate your awareness, while the lavender oil soothes and calms. After inhaling the oils, you may rub the back of your neck to administer the remaining oils that are on your hands.
To begin the sun salutation, stand with your hands in prayer position in front of your heart.
1) Inhale and bring your arms out to your sides and then up over your head and pressing your palms together, arching your back as far as feels safe for you.
2) Exhale, lowering your arms back down to your sides and bend forward, until your hands touch your knees, shins, feet, or the floor.  If you are just beginning your yoga practice, or not feeling very flexible, simply stand with your feet hip-distance apart and slightly bend your knees as you fold forward.
3) On your next inhale, with your arms remaining down, lift your head, shoulders, and chest half way up with a flat back, looking towards the wall in front of you.
4) Exhale, and come back to the forward fold.
5) Inhale your arms down, back out to your sides and up over your head.  Press your palms together and then bring your hands back down to prayer position, pausing for a moment at your forehead, mentally stating your intention for positive, healthy thoughts for the day. Then bring your prayer hands to your lips, stating your intention for speaking truth with kindness and compassion. As you pass your hands from your forehead to your lips, take a moment to inhale the aroma of the peppermint and lavender. Finally, bring your prayer hands back to your heart, breathing into a felt sense of the manifestations of your intentions for the day.
Repeat this entire sequence three to ten times slowly and purposefully.
One of the greatest benefits of practicing yoga is to have a calmer and clearer mind, so that we do not identify with negative thoughts that create a false identity and cause us to operate from limiting beliefs. Using essential oils with yoga is a great way to create more peace of mind within.
Namaste,

Combating Emotional Abuse with Everyday Oils

everday-oilsFew things are as mentally challenging as emotional abuse. Emotional abuse is constant exposure to insults, destructive criticisms, berating, and belittling. Personal abuse of words, actions, and ideas can come from virtually anyone: a spouse, coworkers, family members, or even from your own mind.
Emotional abuse degrades self-esteem, creating a negative cycle of self-doubt and depression. Keeping negative feelings locked inside is very damaging both to the mind and body. Emotional darkness locked inside stifles creativity and personal progression. Negative emotions can be stored in muscles, joints, liver, and digestive organs, causing physical symptoms such as pain, decreased mobility, and indigestion.
There are ways to overcome the patterns of emotional abuse. With proper help you can effectively process negative emotions and break the downward spiral of low self-esteem.
First, it’s important to distance yourself from the emotional abuse. After the source has been resolved, use essential oils to start healing from the trauma. If you have Young Living’s Everyday Oils collection, you have what you need to begin to combat negative emotions and the symptoms of emotional abuse.
Valor®
Apply a few drops on the shoulders. It can help the body receive a feeling of empowerment to give courage to the mind and soul and improve self-esteem. This is a key oil to aid in overcoming emotional abuse because of the lifting effect on the body, mind, and soul.
PanAway®
Use a drop over the heart to relieve any pain or discomfort that might be held in the heart from emotional abuse. It may also be applied topically over any aches or pains to relieve the negative memory stored in the body.

Peace be with you,

Part 2: Pure Essential Oils—How Do You Know?


Annemarie had come to my clinic with her sister, who was diagnosed with cancer. After I reviewed her sister’s medical records and performed an initial examination, we sat down to discuss her sister’s options. Just before the close of the conversation and much to my surprise, Annemarie asked me what I knew about essential oils. I responded, “You must mean aromatherapy oils, and if so, I don’t think much of them.” I explained to her my experiments of the previous years and that I had found the oils to have no real benefit.
She seemed a little offended as she asked me another question, “Do you believe all herbs sold on the market are of equal value?”
The answer was obvious, “Of course not.”
She proceeded to explain to me that the same is true of essential oils. I told her that over the past few years, I had yet to see an essential oil of any real value. I didn’t realize that I had only been exposed to perfume oils and synthetic oils and had not come across any real essential oils that would provoke a positive change in the human body.
Reaching into her briefcase, she pulled out a manila envelope, handed it to me, and told me that it had some research on essential oils that she had translated, if I was interested.  She went on to explain that this detailed information was about research that had been conducted on essential oils and respiratory infection at a research center in Paris, France. Annemarie finished by telling me that her telephone number was on the last page and that if I had questions or wanted more information, I was welcome to call her at any time.

Part 1: Pure Essential Oils—How Do You Know?

Gary Young at his clinic in Mexico
Every company and individual selling essential oils in the marketplace today claim to have the very best and most pure oils available. How does someone without any background or knowledge of essential oils know which oils are the best?
When I entered the essential oil business in 1980, the only essential oils I could find were a few in New Age stores that were selling scented candles, incense sticks, and scented oils for massage. It was not until 1981 that I started to see lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus, lemon, pine, rosemary, and oregano oils; however, these oils were sold in carrier oils. The lavender wasn’t even real lavender; it was lavandin, although I didn’t discover this until 1985, which is when my education began.
During the four years leading up to this time, I tried all of the so-called “aromatherapy oils” on many clients who had conditions such as headaches; neck, back, and shoulder pain; gastro internal stress; nausea; vomiting; and fever. After four years of trial and error, I determined that certainly these oils were nothing more than a New Age fad and had little to no value, so I gave away all of my “aromatherapy oils.”
On a quiet October day in 1985, a little lady from Zurich, Switzerland, who was living in Southern California, walked into my clinic in Mexico, bringing information with her that would start me on a new path and change my life forever.

Part 3: Pure Essential Oils—How Do You Know?

Herbal pharmacy at clinic
At home that night, I began reading and did not stop until 3 a.m. I could not sleep from the excitement I felt about this new discovery! The study was made by several researchers who found certain essential oils to have anti-infectious properties, anti-inflammatory properties, and immune-supporting actions. In fact, the study described how the essential oils could increase the uptake of oxygen and the delivery of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to the cells.
I reread and highlighted the research until 6 a.m. As soon as I felt it wasn’t too early, I picked up the phone and dialed the number Annemarie had left on the back page. She answered the phone on the first ring and said, “Dr. Young, I was expecting you to call. What did you think?”
I told her that I found the information fascinating and that it made a lot of sense. I then asked the million dollar question, “Where can I learn more?”
Just seven days later, I was sitting in a classroom in the medical department at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, attending a 40-hour seminar on the chemistry of essential oils and their function and action against infection and immune support. The course was taught by Jean Claude Lapraz, M.D., and Paul Duraffourd, M.D.
Following the conference, I traveled to Paris to spend a week with Dr. Lapraz to learn even more about essential oils. Before returning to the U.S., I purchased 1 liter each of 13 different essential oils: frankincense, myrrh, lavender, thyme, oregano, peppermint, lemon, rosemary, marjoram, basil, mountain savory, ravensara, and hyssop. And so began my journey into a new frontier: the study of real plant medicine.

Bar Soap AromaSilk™

A bar soap like AromaSilk™ can make bathing a true aromatherapy experience. It not only adds a sublime fragrance to your bath, but offers vegetable-based moisturizers combined with the unique antiseptic properties of therapeutic-grade essential oils.
The AromaSilk™ soaps are created through a proprietary soap-making process that minimizes skin-drying alkali salts. Trapped alkali salts are a major cause of skin dryness and irritation. In Young Living’s AromaSilk™ soaps, the vegetable base is more than 50 percent moisturizers.
Bar Soap AromaSilk™
The soaps are hand-poured and cured for 30 days. They are made in a remarkable process that combines traditional soapmaking, modern technology, and a proprietary blend of ingredients. The soaps are made of saponified oils of palm, coconut, and olive. (Saponified means the process of combining sodium hydroxide with fatty acids like olive or coconut resulting in soap.)
Other ingredients include organic oatmeal, coconut, wolfberry seed, and olive oils, liquid aloe vera extract, rosemary extract (as an antioxidant), and essential oils unique to each soap.

Young Living, NingXia Red Equal Running Bliss

I have to say, heading to San Francisco to hang out with the women of Team NingXia Red® is one of the highlights of my year. Toss in a couple Young Living Essential Oil products, the Nike Women’s Half Marathon, plus a killer course, and you have the perfect recipe for making any girl’s head spin!
2010 marked the seventh annual Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco. This is my fifth year participating, and the incredible energy around this event always makes me feel like it is my first time. In the days leading up to the race, Nike set up shop in the heart of downtown San Francisco at Union Square. Our group of ladies showed up early Friday to pick up our registration packets and to participate in the Expotique. It was amazing! Women gearing up for both the full and half marathons were treated to foot massages, smoothies, and even some power songs to get us ready for race day. The only possible thing missing was not having enough NingXia Red to pass around!
Young Living product users and employee Rebekah Nixon re-energize after the race with NingXia Red Young Living product users and employee Rebekah Nixon re-energize after the race with NingXia Red
Race day was absolutely crazy—and this is honestly the only time in my life when I am excited to hear my alarm go off at 4:30 a.m. Outfitted in our “Run NingXia Run” shirts, we arrived at the starting line early, which was already buzzing with excitement. It’s safe to say that nobody living above Union Square was getting much sleep! Thousands of women—some running the distance for the first time—descended upon the square to get loose for their big run, and when seven o’clock hit the party was on. Being part of the excitement and seeing the beautiful faces of everyone running for a great cause made it hard to stop smiling.
In the end we were all drenched, but thrilled to finish. The challenging course was picturesque, and we took many photos to capture our experience. As quickly as our tired legs could carry us, we escaped back to our hotel rooms for a warm shower, a little NingXia Red post-race cocktail, and of course some Deep Relief™ for our aching muscles.
Thanks to Young Living Essential Oils, the NingXia Red Team was geared up and had the perfect products to enhance our running experience. See you next year!

Caramel Apple Sandwiches, Cinnamon Chocolate Butter

Young Living CinnamonWhat is the perfect October treat? Throughout my childhood years, apples dipped into a pot of melted caramel squares were the choice fall delight. I remember the anticipation as my mother stirred the thick goo on the stove while I speared sticks into the tops of crisp apples. It is the one treat that I missed the most when I changed to a healthier diet. For the longest time, my eyes lingered over the seasonal caramel apple display in the fresh produce department of the grocery store. I wondered how I could introduce this special treat to my children and leave out the sugar and dairy.
One day, I made a fall fruit plate with my children. I encouraged them to experiment with flavors and textures by assembling the varied ingredients of fresh fruit, nuts, and seeds in imaginative ways. One of my girls shouted, “Look, Mom…Caramel Apple Sandwiches!” Sure enough, one of my little raw food chefs in the making created a masterpiece by smashing one half of a pitted date between two thinly sliced apples. The best part is she proudly shares the recipe with her friends having made it up herself. I enjoy eating these even more than the unhealthy and messy dipped apples.
Since then, I have added a chocolate butter spread in which to dip the apples. I hope this is a special delight for your seasonal autumn gatherings.
Until next post….Nutmeg Pumpkin Pie!
Happy Eating!

Essential Oils and Physical Abuse

Golden Touch 1 KitGolden Touch 1™ is an excellent Young Living essential oil kit to use for those healing from the trauma of physical abuse. Many times the visual effects of abuse heal, but the emotional damage remains. Negative emotions, if left unchecked, can move into the stomach, kidneys, liver, heart, or other vital systems in the form of anger, pain, and fear. If overlooked, these negative emotions can be locked in the body, reeking havoc on emotional and physical health. Some ignore the negative energy, making the emotions dig deeper into the body.
The Golden Touch 1 kit from Young Living can help release deep, negative emotions to help the healing process. Try these simple ideas:
Di-Gize™
If experiencing ongoing digestive issues, take a few drops of Di-Gize and rub some on your abdomen to help unwind emotions stored in the stomach.
EndoFlex™
Apply a few drops of EndoFlex over the kidney area to help release anger.
JuvaFlex™
Apply JuvaFlex to the bottom of the feet to discharge any toxins and help release emotional discomfort out of the tissues.
Melrose™
Abuse can be taxing to your system. By applying a few drops of Melrose to your solar plexus (upper stomach area), you can help reduce mental fatigue.
Raven™
Apply a few drops of Raven to the chest to release tension in your body that is hard to process.
R.C.™
The lungs and circulatory system can also be affected by physical abuse. Diffuse R.C. (or smell it right from the bottle) to process negative emotions stored in these important areas.
Thieves®
Apply Thieves to the feet to support your body’s immune system while creating a feeling of protection and courage.
Peace be with you,
Kaye Lynne

Oil of the Month

Perhaps one of the most used and studied of any essential oil, lavender has long been known as a "universal oil" and is often used for many different health conditions. The lavender herb has been used for centuries for its pleasing floral smell, and was considered an aphrodisiac by some during the middle ages. Today, lavender oil is often used to aid with burns, skin conditions, allergies, insomnia, repelling insects, and many other concerns. Perhaps its best known property is its ability to help calm and relax when feeling stressed.
Lavender's herbaceous floral aroma is often used for its sedative properties, and is said to help promote health, love, peace and a general sense of well-being. Happy "Lavender" Relaxation Day (August 15th)!

Pure, potent plant remedies

Uplifting, protective, calming and regenerating, essential oils are a unique gift from the natural world. Often referred to as "nature's living energy" of the very essence of a plant, essential oils are aromatic liquids derived from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes and seeds. They not only determine the plant's aroma, but are vital for plants to grow, live, evolve and adapt.
Essential oils also help defend plants from insects, environmental conditions and disease. Today, research shows that when used aromatically, applied topically, or taken internally, essential oils can calm, energize, balance, purify, and rejuvenate mind and body.
From perfumes and aromatherapy, to cooking and medicinal purposes, essential oils have been a vital part of everyday life, dating back to 4500 BC. After personally experiencing the many benefits of essential oils, D. Gary Young, Founder and President of Young Living Essential Oils, began a personal campaign to promote the ancient healing art of essential oil therapy.
The result?
An abundant line of pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils, including over 140 single oils and unique essential oil blends, and the world's largest community dedicated to achieving wellness via nature's purest, most potent gifts.
