Introduction Class to Young Living Essential Oils

Introduction: With healthcare costs on the rise, prescription drugs becoming ineffective and so many with side effects, many people are looking for a cheaper, more effective way to take back control of their health and finances. While we all willingly spend thousands of dollars a year on traditional healthcare, essential oils are a fraction of the cost, save substantial time in doctor visits, can be used in the comfort of your home, and they work! They are a healthy, safe and highly effective way to treat many ailments that so commonly affect us, without all the side effects that prescriptions or OTC medicines have.

*ALL of the information that is being said is from the Essential Oils Desk Reference book and the Quick Reference Guide for Using Essential Oils.

* I am not a medical professional, and can not treat or diagnose you. Always consult a doctor first. More than likely your doctor will not be trained in essential oils and will not know all the facts about them, so do your own research first. We are our own advocate.

What are Essential Oils?Essential Oils are the life blood of the plant that fights infection, and initiates regeneration into the cells. They boost the immune system of plants, and they work the same for humans. Anything that our blood does for us is what the essential oils do for the plant – they carry nutrients and oxygen to the different organs. This is why essential oils can be so effective against health problems. They can effectively combat the damaging effects of toxins, impurities and harmful substances in and around our body. Essential Oils will NEVER expire.

Essential Oils have a unique ability to penetrate cell membranes and diffuse throughout the blood and tissues. Essential oils are made up of very tiny molecules that have the ability in its chemical structure to penetrate the cell membrane and transport oxygen and nutrients inside the cell, thus giving more support to the immune system. They are absorbed in your skin within 3 seconds, and after only 22 minutes can be picked up in your saliva. These tiny molecules are also small enough to cross the blood brain barrier. ONE drop contains 40 million trillion molecules that affect the body at the cellular level. Drugs actually block receptors in the brain. Most drugs only mask the symptom, not correct the problem. Essential Oils stimulate our cells to return to normal and can correct the problem. Essential Oils clean the receptor sites of the cells so they can communicate with each other. Essential Oils can reprogram miswritten information in your cells. (A good YouTube video explanation: Tiffany Rowan How Essential Oils Work as Medicine)

**Essential Oils are the oldest known form of medicine, dating back to 4500 BC.**

Now that we have discussed what essential oils are, you might be wondering the difference between Young Living Essential Oils and the oils found in your local health food stores. What is sold there I cannot attest to and I want to make it clear that I am ONLY TALKING ABOUT Young Living Essential Oils. If an oil bottle label says “Topical”, “For External Use Only”, “Do not take internally”, or “Do not ingest” then there’s your red flag that it’s been

adulterated and is not safe. The FDA only requires 10% of the essential oil to be labeled as 100% pure. Understand that if you go out to a garden and pick a peppermint leaf off of the plant, it is safe to eat. If the oil was 100% pure as it says it is, then you should be able to ingest it. Do not be fooled! There IS a difference between a $6 Lavender and a $23.50 (wholesale cost) Young Living bottle of Lavender.

Young Living is in over 50 hospitals and medical centers worldwide, which shows the quality of these essential oils (Cleveland Clinic/Memorial and Sloan- Kettering Cancer Hospital, )

Let me share some background about Young Living Essential Oils. Young Living was founded in 1993, and is the oldest, most trusted essential oil company in the world. Young Living has 20+ years of research and experience. They are the only essential oil company with their own farms and have a seed to seal guarantee.

They are the world leader in producing and guaranteeing 100% pure and potent, THERAPEUTIC grade essential oils. Gary Young has built 9 farms around the world that are very open about their farming practices. They love for their members to be a part of the seed plantings, all the way to harvest and distillation. Young Living uses its own internal labs, in addition to third-party audits, to verify that international purity and potency standards are met and surpassed. There are no pesticides or chemicals used on their farms. They even have a crew that hand picks the weeds.

**Young Living tests EVERY BATCH OF OIL that is made, yet only 28% of all oils are accepted, and sold. The rest are used on Young Living farms as a natural herbicide.**

They are God given oils and work perfectly with the body. God created oils for our healing. Oils are in 70% of the books of the Bible and are mentioned over 200 times.

How to use Essential Oils-Topically- Because of their molecular structure, Essential Oils are rapidly absorbed by the skin, and in 3 seconds are in the blood stream. Applying the oils to the Vita-flex points on a foot that relates to organ system will activate their reflex (show chart). Applying the oils to your feet is a great way to absorb the oils into your body. With over 2,000 pores in each foot, they have some of the largest pores on your body. You can bathe in the oils. It is best to mix 15-20 drops with Epsom salt in a separate bowl, then pour the bowl in the bathtub.

Direct Inhalation- Fragrance is the substance of memories. An aroma inhaled causes the olfactory nerve to send messages to the limbic part of the brain which activates thought, emotions, and memory. Hence, in less than a second, a scent has the power to activate a number of physical and emotional responses. This causes the pituitary gland to be stimulated and release chemical messages that travel via the blood to your glands and organs that create physical body responses. That is why inhaling the oils can have a great affect on depression, anxiety and stress. Prescription medicines can not reach the limbic part of the brain. The only way to reach that area is through your nose.

2

Diffuse- Clean your environment by diffusing the oils. Remove odors, toxins, chemicals, fungus (black mold), bacteria, and viruses in the air.

*75% of American homes use synthetic air fresheners that contain numerous amounts of chemical agents that have been linked to cancer. Formaldehyde is in air fresheners. The olfactory nerve is a pathway to the brain, which when it is being hit with formaldehyde, it will disrupt the endocrine system. It actually deadens that nerve, which decreases your nose from being able to smell as well. Formaldehyde is the #1 cancer causing chemical and is what you are embalmed with at the morgue.

Internally- You can put oils in an empty vegetable capsule. You can drink the oils in a glass of water, juice or tea. You can cook with the oils and add them in your food.

*If you have a yeast infection, ovarian cyst, or struggling with infertility, you can insert the oils vaginally. *Inserting the oils rectally, you receive the fastest way to the lungs, orally = entire (digestive tract). If you have pneumonia, bronchitis, or any issues with the lungs, you can insert a suppository with oils diluted for 100% absorption to the lungs.

**You can put these oils in every orifice in your body but your eyes and ears, and only because it will burn.**

Carrier Oil VS Essential Oil:Young Living Essential Oils will never expire and are greaseless. “Carrier Oils” are Olive, Grapeseed, Almond, and Coconut oil. We use Carrier oils with an essential oil when an essential oil feels too “hot” on the skin. Clove, Cinnamon, Thieves, and Lemon are examples of “hot oils” that may need to be diluted with a carrier oil. However, when putting a “hot” oil on your feet, they do not need to be diluted with a carrier oil.

PRECAUTION Guidelines :

- Do not put essential oils directly in eyes or ear canal, it will burn.  - Olive oil, Coconut oil, and Grapeseed oil are considered “carrier oils” (best to use organic).- If an essential oil feels hot to the skin, put a carrier oil on the area and it will bring relief.- If an essential oil gets in your eye, put a carrier oil around the eye for relief. Do NOT use water!- Pregnant women, epileptics, and those with high blood pressure should consult their doctors as there are a few oils that should be avoided.- Citrus oils are photosensitive, so if applied topically, avoid being in the sun for a long period of time.- If you are allergic to anything, always read the label.

Young Living put these 10 oils together so you can do just about everything with this one kit. This is the essential oils version of a First Aid Kit.

Lavender-Is called the “Swiss Army knife” of oils. It is antiseptic, antifungal, analgesic, antitumoral, anticonvulsant, vasodilating, relaxant, anti inflammatory, good for respiratory infections, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, menstrual problems, skin conditions, burns, hair loss, insomnia and nervous tension. Our therapeutic-grade lavender oil naturally has over 200 chemical components, which explains how at one time, lavender has significant anti-anxiety, antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing properties. This one essential oil can be used for literally thousands of health conditions. It takes 170-250 lbs. of lavender plant material to make just 1 lb. of lavender oil.

**Cleans cuts and wounds.**

Lemon-Full of antioxidants, it is anticancer, antibacterial, removes toxins and dissolves chemicals from the body.

- University researchers in Japan found when aromas were diffused during test taking, scores increased by as much as 50 percent.

- Lemon oil will eat up petrochemicals in our body. If you ever drank from a plastic water bottle, you’ve been exposed. Lemon oil comes from lemon rind, not the pulpy inside where the juice is. As you know, the vitamins and nutrients are in the rind itself. Acid in juice is hard on our teeth enamel. The oil is NOT acidic. It’s highly antibacterial and can help remove infections in the mouth and even bacteria that cause cavities. Use in glass, stainless steel, and ceramic only because it will eat through the petrochemicals in plastic or styrofoam.

** It takes 43 lemon rinds to cold press 1 bottle of lemon oil.*

- Research by Jean Valnet, MD showed that diffusing lemon oil can kill the Meningitis bacteria in 15 minutes, Typhoid in one hour, Staph in two hours, and Pneumonia within three hours. Even a 0.2% solution of lemon oil can kill Diphtheria bacteria in 20 minutes and inactivate Tuberculosis.

**Caution** Avoid applying to skin that will be exposed to prolonged sunlight or UV light within 24 hours. Use a nontoxic sunscreen as citrus oils make the skin more photosensitive.

Other uses for:- Air Freshener pH correcting/Alkalizing - Detoxifying - Bone Health - Drain Lymph Nodes - Bladder Infections - Parasites - Constipation - Obesity - Bacterial Infections (throat, ear, sinus, etc) - Fungus - Varicose Veins - Calluses, Bunions, Warts - Acne / Oily Skin - Hypertension

Frankincense-A VERY valuable and sought after oil. Frankincense 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 called the Ebers Papyrus (dating from sixteenth century B.C.) with an ancient Egyptian list of 877 prescriptions and recipes. The distillation process takes 2 weeks and a frankincense tree cannot be tapped into unless it is at least 40 years old. Young Living has a frankincense and myrrh tree farm in Oman. Frankincense is extremely anticancer/antitumoral.

- Dr. Lin at OU studied many brands of Frankincense and found only Young Living’s was able to digest cancer cells. He researched breast, pancreatic, bladder and colon cancer and had phenomenal results. Frankincense is considered a “driving oil” when layering drives the previous oil in deeper!

- Why is Frankincense so helpful for depression? Frankincense is high in sesquiterpenes which are small enough to cross the blood/brain barrier. They act on the pineal gland, which is the gland considered the seat of emotions.

- A recent small-scale study found that 12 of 12 subjects who inhaled Sacred Frankincense for 5 minutes per day for 30 days were able to go off antidepressants for their PTSD. All 12 of them had brain scans done before and after, and each showed significant changes in their brain wave activity.

- Frankincense also helps skin issues because it helps repair DNA which is why we have wrinkles. Instead of using aging products that are full of chemicals, use Frankincense!

- When used on a regular basis topically and internally, can aid in maintaining normal cellular regeneration. Frankincense is highly antitumoral, as are the Lemon and Orange oils.

Thieves- Blend of 5 OilsA blend of 5 highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-infectious essential oils. Young Living’s Thieves essential oil blend was inspired by the legend of four 15th century thieves in France who formulated an aromatic blend composed of cloves, rosemary, and other botanicals to use while robbing the graves of those who died from the black plague. When captured, they were offered a lesser sentence in exchange for their secret recipe. Young Living’s one-of-a-kind blend is formulated with pure clove, cinnamon bark, rosemary, lemon, and eucalyptus essential oils. Thieves blend can be found in many of Young Living’s most popular products and is a safe, natural alternative to harsh chemicals and cleaners. There is a whole line of Thieves products including, oral care for mouth infections such as gingivitis, an antimicrobial hand wash, a household cleaner that you can use on literally everything such as, fruit and veggies, your dog, counters, windows, mirrors(and it does not smear) and toilets… all in one cleaner! You do not have to worry about chemicals of any kind! How many cleaners can do ALL of that? The Thieves Household Cleaner is very economical.

** Bleach, when it is mixed with mold, makes a toxic compound.**

**Studies conducted at Weber State University showed a 90 percent reduction in the number of airborne virus and bacteria while diffusing Thieves. Diffusing Thieves not only destroys mold spores, but it also removes the mold spore, dead or alive, from the air. It also keeps removing the viruses, bacteria, fungus and their toxins over time.**
