Benefits of Essential Oils

If you have been under a rock for the last few years then you've missed the "go green" movement. So I will fill you in! With the help of more research and its availability to the general public, people are becoming more aware of the toxins and chemicals that surround us in EVERYTHING we encounter. Literally. In discovering an issue people are also educating themselves in solutions. Enter essential oils.

Essential oils have added to lives for thousands of years. They offer a variety of benefits from cosmetic and dietary purposes to spiritual and religious use. When an essential oil is extracted properly through careful steam distillation, resin tapping, and cold pressing, you are left with the "lifeblood" of the plant. The purest essential oils are far more powerful than the botanicals from which they come. Any time you hold a bottle of high quality and 100% pure essential oils, you hold nature's pure essence. 1 How can essential oils benefit you in your everyday life?

Heighten Spiritual Awareness

Incense and essential oils from plants are highly known to play an important part in religious and spiritual ceremonies. This helps participants exceed the trivial and connect with something larger than themselves. The pure constituents in these oils trigger receptors and activate regions in the brain’s limbic system associated with memory, emotion, and state of mind. To heighten your spiritual practice, dilute and apply empowering essential oils directly to wrists, feet, and behind the ears or diffuse the oils in a quiet space.1

Inspire a Positive Emotional State

Have you ever smelled something that immediately took you back to another place and time? You were filled with emotions revolving around that memory. That is your limbic system at work. Just like the smell of aftershave and a pipe can remind me of my great-grandpa and fill me with love and happiness, scents are one of the only ways to reach our limbic system. Your limbic system is the area of your brain that is concerned with instinct and mood. It controls the basic emotions (fear, pleasure, anger) and drives (hunger, dominance, care of offspring). 3 Essential oils are potent and have a powerful effect on our sense of smell. They are used in aromatherapy, aroma yoga, and other mindful practices because of their outstanding impact on brain health and emotions. Love the way the fragrance from a fresh orange peel brightens your day? Or how the invigorating scent of mint awakens your mind? Essential oil’s complex, pleasant, and unique scent triggers emotions and memories, which can help in your search for a more fulfilling and balanced life.1

Don't Forget Your Memory

Our mental faculties are responsible for the way we function in our daily lives and the quality of life which we lead. At one end of the spectrum mental fatigue, poor concentration and burn-out, plague us, and at the other end long-term degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia are taunting us. The good news is that we can do something about it. Scientific research suggests there are a number of essential oils that can benefit our cognitive abilities and help us to maintain healthy brains. At a lecturer in early childhood and special education studies, Professor Barbara Wilmes, has suggested that educators should be using essential oils to boost learning in our classrooms. 2

DHA and EPA are the most important omega-3's to our brain and overall health. Research has shown that some essential oils can slow down the degeneration of DHA in the brain.2 A university held a study which showed that essential oils can increase autonomic nervous system activity, reducing alpha 1 and 2 brainwaves and raised beta brainwaves. 2 Because essential oils have been proven to have these amazing benefits to our brain they may help reduce day-to-day absentmindedness and improve mental clarity and function, as well as the longevity of memory.

Physical Wellness

Modern, fast-paced lifestyles don’t always create ideal conditions for physical wellness. Poor diet, lack of exercise, and an overabundance of environmental toxins can leave the body out of balance and with low to no energy levels. From weight management to supplemental support, essential oils and essential oil-infused products can provide the targeted solutions you need to restore balance and feel your best. Check out the Slique® weight-management system or Vitality™ line of dietary essential oils from Young Living to discover the best way to infuse your life.1

If physical fitness is important to your life there are several essential oils and oil infused products that help stimulate and promote oxygenation. Sore muscles? Why not help soothe yourself with the amazing power of a pure essential oil? You can feel revived every day with the whole food-based nutrients, powerful antioxidants, and pure essential oils.1

Refine Your Beauty Routine

Eliminate unsafe ingredients from your personal care products and rediscover your natural glow. Essential oils are an ancient beauty secret, that help promote many different benefits. 1 They can aide in skin cell regeneration which supports clear complexion and an even skin tone. Essential Oils such as Frankincense and Tea Tree can act as natural toners in your skincare routine. Some essential oils may help regulate oil production which can benefit the skin in a variety of ways, maintain elasticity, reduce occasional acne, fight signs of aging, and tighten skin. They also condition the skin which may help with dryness. Using naturally derived ingredients, these advanced skin and hair care solutions make it easy to enjoy the beautiful benefits of essential oils every day.1

Purify Your Home

Harsh chemical formulas aren’t your only option when it comes to cleaning your home. Enjoy peace of mind without compromise when you polish countertops, wash sticky hands, and clean laundry with the safe and effective power of essential oils and Young Living’s Thieves® line of products.1 It’s not just you're cleaning products, do you burn candles, use aerosol spray, wall plug-ins and anything else to help your home smell great? Chances are even the “green” brands are chalked full of chemicals. Diffusing essential oils not only adds a fragrance that is wonderful but it can also support your body on many levels!

How To Use Essential Oils

You can access the power of essential oils many ways, but the most common practices include aromatic diffusion, topical application, and dietary consumption. These methods bring the pure essence of health-promoting botanicals to your home, family, and life.1

Safety Tips

While essential oils are safe to ingests, diffuse and apply topically (I can only safely say this about Young Living Essential Oils), there are a few safety tips you want to keep in mind. Please keep away from eyes, and do not pour into ears. If you get any in your eyes use a fatty oil, known as a carrier oil, to rinse with. There are some oils that met feel “hot” when applied to the skin so use a carrier oil to dilute if that is ever the case. Dilution is suggested for infants and children. Citrus oils are photosensitive so keep off of skin that will be exposed to direct sunlight or uv lighting.

Product Guide
Some literature to learn more about Young Living and our amazing products!!

Lavender is one of the most popular essential oils. It’s also the most adulterated of all essential oils, so it is very important to know what you are getting. It takes 170 pounds of plant material to make 1 pound of lavender oil. Young Living adds nothing to that pure Lavender oil, so the aroma may be different than typical lavender body care products, which often contain synthetics for a sweeter fragrance.

Lavender:

- Assists the body when adapting to occasional stress.

- Relaxes and calms for restful sleep.

- Soothes and cleanses healthy skin.

- Soothes occasional minor skin irritation.

- Can be diffused for a comforting and calming aroma.

- Can be added with Epsom salts to a relaxing nighttime bath.

- Is sometimes called the “Swiss Army Knife” of oils because it can be used for so many things!

Lavender is the reason I started using essential oils. In our home, previous to oils, we used lavender scented EVERYTHING!! Then one day my son got old enough to pull plug-ins out of outlets and pull candles off of tables. On top of that I wanted to start making my own soaps and things of that nature, so I started looking into ingredients. Essential oils was the constant in the fragrance department. I knew someone who used the so I started asking questions. Young Living's Seed to Seal Guarantee set them apart and so it began!

How do you imagine you would use lavender essential oil the most?

Lemon Vitality oil is cold-pressed from the rind of the fruit, meaning the oil doesn’t contain the acid found in the pulp. Drinking water with Lemon Vitality is much easier on the enamel of your teeth than squeezing a lemon into your water. Lemon has many more uses!! One of my favorites for this is diffusing with Lavender and Rosemary, it smells so fresh and clean! When our family needs extra support in our drainage system I will apply topically or put a drop directly in the mouth.

Lemon Vitality:

- Tastes wonderful in water.

- Includes 68% limonene, a powerful antioxidant.

- Can be used in beverages, savory foods, sweet foods, or placed in a vegetable capsule.

Kitchen Tip: Add several drops to your favorite fruit dip recipe.

Comment below to let me know how would you be most likely to use Lemon Vitality!

Peppermint Vitality!! Yay for peppermint!! This is great to support brain health and memory!

Peppermint Vitality:

- Promotes healthy intestinal and bowel function.

- Supports normal digestion.

- Supports cognitive function and memory.

- May support performance during exercise.

- Has a crisp, cool, refreshing flavor.

You can add Peppermint Vitality to food or water or add a few drops to a vegetable capsule. Another great way is benefit from this essential oil is to spike your water or tea! With the cool months approaching I look forward to trying a drop in my hot chocolate! :)

Kitchen Tip: To make Peppermint brownies, add 5 drops of Peppermint Vitality to a 9x13 pan of your favorite brownies.

Leave a comment below about how would you be most likely to use Peppermint Vitality!

Frankincense is considered the holy anointing oil in the Middle East and has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. (*If it is good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for us!) Frankincense was valued more than gold during ancient times, and only those with great wealth and abundance possessed it.

Frankincense:

- Can be applied or diffused for calming, relaxing, or emotional well-being.

- Is useful for massage after activity.

- May help smooth the appearance of healthy-looking skin.

- Includes the naturally occurring constituent alpha-pinene and is high in sesquiterpenes.

Let me tell you, this is my FAVORITE oil!!! I do not go a day without it! It has completely upgraded my facial skin and played an important role in leveling out my emotional health!

Which use for Frankincense would be your favorite?

Purification is a blend of Citronella, Lemongrass, Lavandin, Rosemary, Tea Tree, and Myrtle.

Purification:

- Soothes and cleanses common skin irritations and occasional blemishes.

- Freshens & cleans the air rather than covering up odors like chemical sprays or plug-in air fresheners.

- Is a great non-toxic cleaning choice.

- Can be applied topically to enjoy summer evenings outdoors annoyance-free.

- Can be added to laundry soap or to wool dryer balls for fresh-smelling laundry.

Okay, I know I promised not to say this about every oil, but I LOVE Purification!! I am diffusing it constantly! I love to apply it topically along with Lavender around my ears and down my neck to support my drainage system. My favorite use for Purification is on my dryer balls! This oil got 40 years of smoke out of a quilt!! (jumping with joy!!!)

Can you think of something around the house that could use a little Purification essential oil?

PanAway is a blend of Helichrysum, Wintergreen, Clove, and Peppermint.

PanAway:

- Helps soothe occasional muscle tension and discomfort.

- Provides comforting warmth to muscles after exercise or daily activities.

- Can be applied to the skin for a soothing aromatic experience.

- Can be added to massage oil to cover a large area.

DIY: Create a soothing muscle rub by whipping up 1 cup of coconut oil until its fluffy (or for a more firm rub just heat the coconut oil to melt it), then add 10 drops each, PanAway, Valor, and Peppermint.

DiGize Vitality is a blend of Ginger, Anise, Fennel, Peppermint, Tarragon, Lemongrass, Patchouli, Lemongrass, and Juniper.

DiGize Vitality:

- Supports normal digestion.

- Can be taken in water, honey, or a vegetable capsule.

- Can be used with meals along with enzymes like Essentialzymes-4™ to support a wellness regimen.

- Can be used as a dietary supplement in water when traveling abroad.

We love this oil! My whole family uses this oil to support a healthy tummy! My two year old son will ask for his "oisil" and generally it means he wants this on his tummy!!

When would you be most likely to use DiGize Vitality? Comment below!

Copaiba Vitality:

- Was traditionally used to aid digestion.

- Can be heavily diluted and applied to the gums of teething children.

- Promotes wellness.

- May be an important part of a daily health regimen.

- Can be mixed with honey and warm water to create a tea.

This oil moved up my awesome list when I had a teething infant who needed support to his body's natural reaction to inflamed gums. This is a mild enough oil that I was able to apply it directly to his gums. (Be sure to always test oils on yourself before you put them on your infants. For further reference look to Gentle Babies by Debra Raybern.) Since then I have used it several times to support my body's natural reaction to inflammation.

Thieves Vitality is a blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, Rosemary.

Where did the name “Thieves” come from?

Thieves was inspired by the legend of four 15th-Century French thieves who formulated a special aromatic combination composed of clove, rosemary, and other botanicals they used while robbing the dead and dying. In exchange for a more lenient punishment, they revealed what they used. Thieves essential oil blend is highly regarded for it’s ability to support the immune system.

Thieves Vitality:

- Supports healthy immune function and overall wellness.

- Includes Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil, which may help maintain a healthy respiratory system.

- Can be added (1 drop) to a cup of tea or glass of apple juice.

- Supports oral health.

We keep a blend of Thieves, Oregano, Lemon and Peppermint in a roller bottle. I use this on myself and my two boys as a part of our daily wellness routine!

Kitchen Tip: Make a wellness tonic of 1oz Mother's Apple Cider Vinegar, 2 drops of Thieves Vitality, 3 drops of Ginger Vitality and 3 drops of Lemon Vitality. Top with Hot water.

How would you most likely use Thieves Vitality?

R.C. is a blend of Cypress, Spruce, and three types of Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus Globulus, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Eucalyptus Citriodora).

R.C.:

- Can be diluted and applied to chest, neck, and throat areas.

- Can be rubbed on feet or chest before exercise to uplift.

- Can be massaged on feet before bedtime.

- Can be diffused for an uplifting and invigorating aroma.

R.C. stands for Respiratory Care. When my family needs respiratory support, our favorite way to use this is in combination with Epsom salt for a therapeutic bath!

Stress Away is a blend of Copaiba, Lime, Cedarwood, Ocotea, and Lavender.

Stress Away:

- Helps combat normal stresses that creep into everyday life.

- Promotes wellness.

- Helps reduce mental rigidity and restore equilibrium.

- Encourages relaxation and helps reduce occasional nervous tension.

- Can be diffused for a relaxing, calming, and comforting atmosphere.

Tip: Add a roller fitment to the Stress Away bottle and roll Stress Away on your neck, wrists, and over your heart.

Who would you share a little Stress Away with?

You have seen that some essential oils are called vitality oils and some aren't. So, what's the difference?

You can’t use what you don’t have... so how do you get these amazing oils?

Young Living Essential Oils are not available in stores, and Young Living chose this business model deliberately. Rather than having you walk out of a retail store with products, they wanted to provide you with a community for support and resources. When you become a Young Living member, you get a whole team of people who will guide and support you at no extra cost.

The best option for getting your oils is starting a wholesale membership. This is similar to becoming a Sam’s Club or Costco member. With your membership, you get 24% off of retail prices on all future orders.

The best choice!

The best choice to kick off your membership is the Premium Starter Kit. It includes the 11 oils we talked about in this class, a diffuser, a roller fitment, empty travel-sized bottles, 2 packets of NingXia Red, additional product samples, and educational information. You get all of that plus your wholesale membership for $160. The retail value of this kit is over $350!

There are no strings attached with your membership. You don’t have to distribute or sell anything. You don’t have to order monthly. There are no order minimums. To remain an active member, you simply have to purchase $50 every YEAR! If you let your membership go inactive, there’s no penalty. You just have to make another purchase to reactivate. Simple. Easy. No surprises.

What is an Essential Oil?

An essential oil is the volatile oil of a plant, meaning they will evaporate, unlike a fatty oil. Essential oils are extracted from trees, shrubs, flowers and stems and seeds. Sometimes they are called the “life force” of the plant. Essential oils don’t have a shelf life. They last a long, long time.

-The purest, most potent form of an herb.

-EO’s are nothing new. Historically, essential oils are the oldest known form of medicine, dating back to 4500BC.

Properties of Essential Oils - Helpful for supporting ALL body systems like - skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, nervous, respiratory, lymphatic, urinary, reproductive and integumentary body systems - as well as the structures and functions of the body.

How to Use anEssential Oil

**The FDA requires Young Living to label their oils as either dietary and cosmetic. Young Living had to choose the PRIMARY usage for each oil, since they can be used in so many different ways. YL follows the French model of essential oil usage because of the high quality of our essential oils. If in doubt about how to use an oil it’s always great to start with the primary usage on the label and then go from there as you see fit for your family.**

1. AROMATICALLY: When inhaling, it takes 22 seconds for an oil to reach the brain. The only way to reach limbic system is through smell, which is why oils are such a great option for those for those needing emotional support and support for their nervous system.

Diffusing is another way we inhale oils, it purifies the air, makes your home smell good without chemicals, great for respiratory support, stubborn spouses and crazy kids. Having more than one diffuser is a plus too.

2. TOPICALLY: Because of their molecular structure, essential oils are rapidly absorbed by the skin. Sometimes when you apply an oil to the skin, it almost seems to disappear into the body. When applied topically, it takes 2-3 minutes for an oil to reach the bloodstream, 20 minutes to affect every cell in the body, then metabolized within 2 ½ hours.

It’s not rocket science - apply oils to the area where you want to provide support. Some favorite places are wrists, behind the ears, neck, temples, stomach or especially feet.

3. INTERNALLY: In water/drinks, cooking/baking, in capsules etc.

Be sure to use glass or stainless steel when drinking essential oils in water. Citrus oils especially can digest petrochemicals, so it’s important not to use plastic.

That's all for this post!! I will see you at Part 2 to get started on the PSK!!! (Premium Starter Kit)

Everyone Needs Young Living Essential Oils!

I am so thankful for Young Living Essential Oils. They have been a huge blessing to my family. I joined Young Living in March 2015. I joined because I was looking for a safer way to scent my home. At that point I had a toddler and an infant. We were candle burners and had wall plug-ins in almost every outlet. I love the scent of lavender and anything that smelled fresh and clean! My toddler had been like any toddler and messed with the plug-ins. If you have had them you know that they can get hot and the wicks can melt and it was just getting a little too dangerous for my liking. Then, one day my toddler pulled a basket off of the table. This basket had a candle in it that had been burning for several hours and it was full of hot wax. It was by the grace of God that he did not get burned! Everything around him was covered in wax, but not a drop got on him. That’s when I decided no more, we have to figure out a safer way to scent our home.

I was also looking into making my own laundry soap and these things called "essential oils" were what scented the soap. I had a friend who had fallen in love with essential oils and she showed me where to get the best oils on the market, and how to get a discount!

After I got my starter kit, I knew I wanted to add lavender to my soap and I was able to get the diffuser going! With lavender of course. I enjoyed not having to burn a hot candle, but I had a few questions. What in the world am I supposed to do with these OTHER oils?! Today, I don’t leave home without them.

Young Living Essential Oils are amazing for:

• supporting a normal immune system

• promoting restful sleep

• balancing the emotions

• easing occasional stress and minor anxiety

• and SO MUCH MORE!

I LOVE the 11 Essential Oils that come in the Premium Starter Kit – Lemon Vitality, R.C., Thieves Vitality, Lavender, Stress Away, Purification, Peppermint Vitality, Frankincense, PanAway, DiGize Vitality and Copaiba Vitality! I use these oils on a daily basis.

All about Thieves!

Thieves® essential oil is a powerful combination of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils for an aromatic blend that fills any space with a rich, spicy aroma. Inspired by the legend of 15th-century French thieves who formulated a special aromatic combination composed of clove, rosemary, and other botanicals used while robbing the dead and dying, Thieves is one of Young Living’s most popular products.

I can’t tell you enough good stuff about this oil blend. This blend is excellent at supporting the immune system as well as cleaning and disinfecting.

You have to know about the Thieves Household Cleaner. It is effective, economical and it is the ONLY cleaner that we use. It is non-toxic and safe to spray directly on my children’s toys. We clean everything from our counters to our floors and everything in between! I love knowing that when I clean with this, germs and nasty things are taken care of and won’t be bothering my family. A bottle of the concentrate lasts us so long! I have two toddler boys, they are messy! It’s $22.00 for a bottle of concentrate and I get 12-14 large spray bottles of cleaner out of it. We love it!

Young Living has so many other Thieves products; laundry soap, dish soap, spray, wipes, mouthwash, foaming hand soap, hand purifier, toothpaste, and more.

Thieves hand purifier and spray go with us everywhere for quick and easy cleaning of our hands and any yucky things we may come into contact with.

Why Did I Choose Young Living Over Every Other Company Out There?

I believe in Young Living, their incredible therapeutic-grade essential oils and their purpose to bring wellness and abundance to the world. I believe in their integrity and desire to provide the best possible 100% therapeutic grade essential oils for their members. They have a process called Seed to Seal that is their purity promise to us! They believe in their stewardship and take it very seriously. Young Living has always been at the forefront of bringing this ancient tradition to modern users, introducing millions to emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness that can be truly life-changing. Extracted through careful steam distillation, resin tapping, and cold pressing, the purest essential oils are far more powerful than the botanicals from which they come. Any time you hold a bottle of Young Living’s powerful essential oils, you hold nature's pure essence. I am so thankful to have chosen this essential oil company for our family.

3. Make doubly sure my member number {26454346} is in both the Sponsor ID and Enroller ID spots. I want to connect with you, support you and help you on your wellness journey!

4. Choose the kit you want. {I highly recommend one of the Premium Starter Kits.} Then proceed to check out. You can skip the Essential Rewards part for now unless you would like to join ER right away.

5. Fill out all the pertinent information. Be sure to include your email address. If you don’t, I have no way to invite you to the Facebook support group and I can’t support you as you begin your journey with essential oils. This support is vital for empowering you to use the oils to the fullest.

6. For the “tax information” slot, your information is safe and secure and only used if you ever share Young Living with a friend or family member. Most will select “individual.” Easy peasy.

7. That’s it! Your oils will be on their way to your doorstep, and I will be in touch soon!!

If you have any concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at brennadawnnstanford@gmail.com! If you want to learn even more about the Premium Starter Kit and the oils it contains, click here!
