Six new products are now online:
Ocotea (Oak-a-taya)
Ocotea essential oil is extracted from the steam and leaves of the ocotea tree in Ecuador and is related to the cinnamon species. This essential oil has an aroma that is different from any common. Ocotea has the highest level of alpha-humulene of any essential oil. Alpha-humulene can balance the body's internal response to irritation. Only copaiba essential oil has comparable levels of this natural plant compound. It also contains Eucalyptol which works on the lungs.

Traditionally used as a disinfectant and for digestive support.
Highest levels of alpha-humulene in any known essential oil, which helps balance the body's internal response to irritation.
Far less skin sensitivity than cinnamon bark or cassia

Product Story:
Ocotea is wild crafted and distilled at Finca Botanica Aromatica, Young Living's farm and distillery in Ecuador. Ocotea is harvested from a large tree found in the Amazon Basin of Ecuador, from sea level up to 1,500 meters in altitude. The trees are divided into male and female trees, with only the female trees producing foliage suitable for distillation of essential oils. Historical usage of ocotea dates back more than 500 years, when it was used to aromatize sweets and cakes.
How to use:
1-4 drops with V-6. Topical: test on a small, inconspicuous area of the skin to observe sensitivity; apply to desired location as needed.
Dietary Supplement: Dilute 1-4 drops with V-6. Place in capsule and take one daily or as directed by a health professional.
Ocotea is also found in Stress Away Roll-on.
Copaiba (Co-pie-eba)
Copaiba essential oil is extracted from the oleoresin of several different species of Copaifera, including multijuga, langsdorffi, and reticulata. Traditionally used in Native American recipes, today copaiba is featured in European and North American pharmacopeias. This powerful essential oil has traditionally been used to help digestion and support the body's natural response to injury or irritation. Copaiba is 70-90% sesquiterpene's which cross the blood brain barrier (increases the oxygen into the cells).
With the high levels of beta caryophellene, gamma elemene, and alpha humalene, it's used in the past to aid the natural processes of redness and irritation of body tissue.* Reduces swelling, inflammation, protects the gastric system, very aggressive on melanoma cells, aches & pains, arthritis, wounds.
Young Living sourcing specialists have traveled the world sampling different copaiba essential oil samples. Each batch was put through state-of-art Gas Chromatrograph and Mass Spectrometer test. Gary Young selected species of Copaifera from South America to maximize levels of beta cryophyllene, the key active ingredient in the essential oil.
Benefits:
Traditionally used to aid common digestive discomforts when taken internally.
Used historically to help the body regulate its natural immune responses.
Product story:
Copiaba is the only essential oil extracted through tapping, similar to how rubber and maple are obtained. Once tapped, the copaiba resin is distilled to produce a clear essential oil that is rich, uplifting, woody smell. Only copaiba essential oil is found near the Amazon rain forest basin contains the optimal natural compounds needed for a YOUNG LIVING THERAPEUTIC GRADE essential oil.

Essential 7: Peppermint Essential Oils Part 2
Essential 7: Peppermint Essential Oils Part 2
September 22, 2011
Peppermint essential oil is pure bliss on aching joints and it is helpful for easing headache discomfort.
The Essential 7™ is a collection of seven of Young Living’s premiere single oils and oil blends. YL’s Doug Corrigan and Karen Boren are guest bloggers for a series sharing information that will teach you the many ways the E7 kit can enrich your life.
DOUG: You mentioned peppermint, Karen, how it impacts us topically—especially with its powerful phytochemical menthol.
KAREN: Peppermint is multifaceted. Anyone who gets to that certain age where joints start creaking a bit will find that that peppermint on the knees is just bliss! I love balsam fir for that as well but peppermint is really the one that has worked on my knees. I think this is a key point for people to know, that oils impact us all a little bit differently. We need to find the ones that work best for us, and like you, I’ve experimented and found out which ones are helpful for me and my body chemistry.
DOUG: But don’t forget headaches! When I have a headache, I see a great response to the headache pain from lavender and peppermint. This is a really great yin and yang combination. If you’re not sure where that headache is really originating from, try a little bit of both lavender and peppermint and, from what I’ve experienced with the problem, it will resolve itself.
KAREN: A North Carolina doctor read a German study where peppermint was applied for tension-type headaches. The randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study showed that just 10 percent peppermint oil applied locally was effective against the headache just like 1000 mg of acetaminophen. The doctor decided to try it the next time he had a headache. He bought a small bottle of peppermint oil in the baking section of his grocery store, applied it, and within 15 minutes his headache was gone. Imagine how quality peppermint oil would have acted on that headache.

Please pay close attention to this cleverly worded article
On side effects of Young Living products
by Karen.
I believe that all current oilers, drinkers, and prospective users of Young Living products should be warned in advance of the significant life changing side effects associated with NingXia Red, essential oils, and nutritional supplements that the company offers.
I have been a Young Living Distributor for three months and no one warned me of these serious side effects! Please read the following statements and consider yourself warned.
Please note the following disclaimer: The following statements are intended for educational purposes only. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. The products that Young Living Distributors sell are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Anyone suffering from any disease, illness or injury should consult a physician. These side effects apply only to the use of pure therapeutic grade, Young Living Essential Oils.
SIDE EFFECTS OF SERIOUS DAILY USE OF NINGXIA RED AND ESSENTIAL OILS
You may discover increase energy levels: causing you to clean house and do outside chores that you have been putting off for months or years.
You may decide that you like to exercise instead of hating it: causing you to lose 30 minutes to 1 hour every day.
A decrease of pain in your joints and body: may cause you to get more sleep.
You may find hair growing in the bald spot on your head.
Symptoms of fungus like Candida (yeast infection) and toe fungus might disappear: causing you to stop having discomfort due to rash and itching.
You may discover that your eyesight is improving: causing you to have to change your eye prescription.
Stomach disorders, IBS, and other associated discomforts may cease: causing people to not recognize your presence due to a reduction of belching and releasing stinky aromas.
You may lose unwanted excess pounds: causing your clothes to hang on you; causing you to have to go through your closets and drawers to organize a garage sale or give them away to charity organizations. Ultimately causing you stress since you will be unable to find anything that fits: causing you to have to shop to buy smaller sizes.
You may discover diminished thoughts of depression and suicide cease: causing you to change your feelings about yourself, your family, friends, and life in general.
You may find that trips to the doctor and hospital become infrequent: causing you to lose anxiety, stress and financial concerns.
You may find a decreased need for prescriptions drugs: causing money to appear in your wallet or purse.
You may discover that there is a God after all, that loves you and above all things wants you to prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers!
A note to the obligatory disclaimer: 'these products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease...' So obviously, we Independent Young Living Distributors do not care about helping other people to become well or whole again, we just want their money.
My personal disclaimer: The information in this handout is intended for educational purposes and to point out the ridiculous advertisement of potentially harmful drugs that are currently advertised in only two nations of the world, America and Argentina. The current FDA and American Medical Association rules and regulations make it impossible for us to advertise the truth about potential treatment, prevention and possible cures of pure therapeutic essential oils; even though there is mounting proof through research that such claims would be valid.

Essential Oil Introductions
July 15, 2011
I’m excited to join the Young Living family as one of the new product marketing managers. Even though I’ve only been with the company a short time, my family and I have had some amazing experiences with essential oils. I want to share with you a few that I hope you’ll find useful.To start off, I have an amazing wife and together we claim three rambunctious children ranging in age from 5 to 1, with another expected in November. We recently attended a family reunion, camping in the northern part of Utah (by the way, for those of you with three small children and one pregnant wife, I suggest you avoid camping or travel in general). My plan was to test some of the various uses I had heard about for the oils. My camping experiences included: burning my hand on the Dutch oven, a minor sunburn, mosquito attacks, bug bites, the overpowering smell of campfire, and attempting to clean pans coated with burned food. Luckily my Young Living coworkers had given me some advice about using the oils that came in quite handy:
After a little trial and error, here is an overview of my experience:
- Purification® essential oil blend soothed my mosquito bites.
- Purification essential oil blend repelled mosquitoes.
- Lavender essential oil soothed my minor burn (including a sunburn).
- Lemon essential oil worked well as a cleaning-agent enhancement.
- Peppermint essential oil (my wife’s favorite) covered up the smell of campfire smoke.
I am excited for future introductions to Young Living’s amazing products. I hope you’ll leave a comment and share what your “introduction” experience with essential oils was. I’m sure there is a lot we can learn from each other’s experiences.

KEEPING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM FIT!
There are many preventive measures that we can take to have a healthy, strong, immune system. Of course, one of the measures we can take is to be sure to get an adequate amount of exercise. A brisk walk, stair climbing, aerobic exercise, swimming, and other forms of exercise that you personally love will not only help to build up your immune system, but give us the fit body we all strive to get or maintain.
Exercise adds strength to the body's immune system along with being sure to get adequate rest. Exercising, if done for at least 30 minutes, four to five times a week, will result in a positive way not only to work on your immune system, but will also give you a sense of well being, strong bone structure, and strength to carry on the tasks that are set before you. I personally use my slant board daily to assist reverse gravity.
At Young Living we have products that help support your immune system. These products consist of:
The products have been ommited from this newsletter to prevent it from being caught in your spam filter. Please see this article at www.phiteam.net. See link below.

These oils can be applied topically, especially on the neck, chest, and other areas when you need to improve immune system response.

Combining Young Living Products with daily exercise, you will be giving your immune system what it needs to keep you healthy through stressful situations that can create illness.

Guidelines for Cooking with Young Living Essential Oils
Essential oils are different from common vegetable oils such as olive, flax, sesame, or canola oils. While both have benefits, cooking with essential oils can be a healthy alternative in flavoring foods and beverages.
The following Young Living essential oils are frequently used in recipes: lemon, orange, nutmeg, black pepper, peppermint, ginger, sage, tangerine, lemongrass, grapefruit, fennel, spearmint, cinnamon bark, oregano, clove, and basil, among others. See the GRAS List (pdf) or the GRAS list below (Generally Regarded As Safe) to learn which Young Living essential oils can be ingested. Be sure to see the "How to Use" page for more information.
Many people believe that using essential oils in cooking is a relatively new idea; in fact there are thousands of food products that use essential oils for aroma and flavor such as chewing gum, chocolates, candies, and many more.
The difference between those oils for flavoring food and Young Living's essential oils is that Young Living essential oils are superior in quality, which simply means you will be getting the healthful benefits of the plant when you use them, and not just the 'flavor.'
While certain essential oils can be harmful if taken in high dosages, moderate use as flavoring (a few drops per person) is not only safe but delicious!
Key differences between essential oils and vegetable oils:
- Vegetable oils contain glycerol, which leaves a greasy residue when applied to the skin and creates a slippery surface (i.e. in the pan); essentials oils do not create a slippery surface (unless mixed with vegetable oil)
- Vegetable oils are 100% fat; essential oils contain no fat.
- Vegetable oils are primarily pressed from seeds and nuts, like avocados, olives or the bran of grains
- Pure essential oils are steam distilled from plants (with the exception of citrus oils which are cold-pressed)

Growing Lavender: What Does It Take?
Thursday, March 24th, 2011 
Let’s examine the facts. I travel an average of six weeks a year just to visit growers and distilleries around the world and have been doing this for 25 years. I have watched farms come and go and have watched distilleries dismantled and sold as scrap iron. I have also watched fields replaced with standard crops of grape seed, wheat, corn for bio-fuel, and hemp for rope and building material. The crop just depends on the commodity market for the year. Why are the crops changing so dramatically?
As a born rancher and farmer, I can easily understand. As a businessman, I can also easily understand. Let’s look at some more facts.
When I started my first farm in 1992, wages were $3.25 an hour for farm labor. We were not required to pay overtime or benefits, and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) never dictated how we operated our business. Diesel fuel was under $1 per gallon, and we could buy a good used 110 hp Massey Ferguson 2705 tractor for $5,000 to $6,000.
In 1992 the price of lavender essential oil from France was $78 a kilo, plus shipping FOB France. Good farmland was $600 to $1,000 per acre.
To grow lavender, you must have a greenhouse to germinate the seed and create starts for spring planting. You also must have a planting machine, or you have to plant by hand. After you plant the starts, you must wait three years before the first harvest. Then how do you harvest?
You can’t harvest with a wheat combine, hay swather, potato digger, or corn harvester, and no equipment is manufactured in the U.S.A. for planting or harvesting lavender. Therefore, I built my own planting machine and have engineered and built two lavender harvesters.
Gary’s planting machine he built in 1994. Spikes on the wheels make holes; workers sitting on the bench take herbs from the three racks and plant them.

Young Living Essential Oils (Part 1)
April 19, 2011
What blessings our beloved companion animals bring to our lives! Yet as we rejoice in the bond between us, we also recognize a deep responsibility for their welfare. One of the simplest, most powerful methods of enjoying our relationships with our pets is to keep them healthy, happy, and calm. Not every animal will be quietly calm; some will be bounding across the rooms. However, if your pet’s nervous system is balanced, he or she will be free of inner conflict and able to enjoy your shared bond.
Heart Talk is the unspoken sharing of love with our best friends in an array of furs, feathers, scales, and more; it’s a way of achieving even greater bonds with those we have rescued, adopted, or bought. Young Living’s Peace & Calming® essential oil blend can helps us achieve this wonderful sharing of emotions and assist our dogs, cats, horses, and more to feel at peace.
Keep in mind two important factors when using essential oils with animals:
1. Humans have about 5 million olfactory epithelial cells; cats have nearly 100 million and dogs can have up to 220 million of these smell sensors!
2. Because of their incredible sense of smell, the effect of essential oils on our companions is more powerful than it is on us. We only need to run a Young Living TheraPro™ Diffuser for 5 minutes on low and off for 20 minutes to assist our pets. For topical applications, dilute the oil according to species, weight, and age. For example, a horse does not need a diluted application, but a cat would need a 75 percent dilution, or more, depending on age and weight.
For an animal’s first introduction to essential oils, simply take one drop of Peace & Calming in your hands, rub them together, and then pet your friend as you normally would (keeping away from eyes and inner ears). This is the first step to helping your companion move toward a very healthy and peaceful feeling. You will notice how peaceful you feel, too!
Consider using Young Living essential oils in your car when traveling with your pet. Keep a Travel Fan Diffuser or an unbleached coffee filter in the vent for just these purposes. Three or four drops of Peace & Calming will be all you need. This is a perfect approach for going to the veterinarian’s office!
Watch for Part 2 of this blog post later in the month where we will focus on the ABCs of Heart Talk!
Wishing worlds of success to you and your companion,

Companion Animal “Heart Talk” with Young Living Essential Oils (Part 1)
What blessings our beloved companion animals bring to our lives! Yet as we rejoice in the bond between us, we also recognize a deep responsibility for their welfare. One of the simplest, most powerful methods of enjoying our relationships with our pets is to keep them healthy, happy, and calm. Not every animal will be quietly calm; some will be bounding across the rooms. However, if your pet’s nervous system is balanced, he or she will be free of inner conflict and able to enjoy your shared bond.
Heart Talk is the unspoken sharing of love with our best friends in an array of furs, feathers, scales, and more; it’s a way of achieving even greater bonds with those we have rescued, adopted, or bought. Young Living’s Peace & Calming® essential oil blend can helps us achieve this wonderful sharing of emotions and assist our dogs, cats, horses, and more to feel at peace.
Keep in mind two important factors when using essential oils with animals:
1. Humans have about 5 million olfactory epithelial cells; cats have nearly 100 million and dogs can have up to 220 million of these smell sensors!
2. Because of their incredible sense of smell, the effect of essential oils on our companions is more powerful than it is on us. We only need to run a Young Living TheraPro™ Diffuser for 5 minutes on low and off for 20 minutes to assist our pets. For topical applications, dilute the oil according to species, weight, and age. For example, a horse does not need a diluted application, but a cat would need a 75 percent dilution, or more, depending on age and weight.
For an animal’s first introduction to essential oils, simply take one drop of Peace & Calming in your hands, rub them together, and then pet your friend as you normally would (keeping away from eyes and inner ears). This is the first step to helping your companion move toward a very healthy and peaceful feeling. You will notice how peaceful you feel, too!
Consider using Young Living essential oils in your car when traveling with your pet. Keep a Travel Fan Diffuser or an unbleached coffee filter in the vent for just these purposes. Three or four drops of Peace & Calming will be all you need. This is a perfect approach for going to the veterinarian’s office!

Wishing worlds of success to you and your companion,

April’s Recipe: Raspberry Mint Compote
By Key Lime Mousse,
April 15, 2011
Spring has arrived with fresh air and inspiration to get outdoors and exercise. With warmer weather, eating healthier also comes naturally. Springtime colors invoke two of my favorite flavors: lime and peppermint. I feel refreshed and energized with this dessert that offers tangy, sweet, and minty spoonfuls. The mousse base—avocado—may surprise you. Not only is this rich fruit the main ingredient for guacamole, but avocado can also be embraced for its creamy texture in sweet recipes. The compote is a mixture of spring fruits infused with Young Living’s peppermint essential oil.
When I incorporate peppermint essential oil as an ingredient in a recipe, infused into water, or dropped directly onto my tongue at the end of a meal, I discover that it curbs my appetite immediately. As a child, my mother would encourage me to brush my teeth before reaching for a second helping in order to keep me from over indulging. However, a toothbrush is not always convenient. A drop of peppermint oil is a simpler way to maintain reasonable portions. Incorporate peppermint oil into your dietary regimen and enjoy living fresh this spring!
Until next post: Lemon Papaya Strawberry Boats, Nutmeg Macadamia Cheese
Happy Eating!

Lavender Essential Oil and Burns
March 23, 2011 in Alternative Therapies, Application, Aromatherapy, Common Questions, Disinfectant, Education, Family Health, First Aid tips, How do I use, Lavender, Natural, Natural Health, Quality / Pure, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil, Using Essential Oils,
Young Living Essential Oils by Evelyn Vincent
All burns can be serious, therefore seek medical attention if necessary. If the burn is large or severe the victim may go into shock. Inhaling therapeutic essential oils may help reduce shock.?? Therapeutic essential oils can also help cleanse and help the to wound heal. Today, lavender is one of the few essential oils to still be listed in the British Pharmacopoeia.
René-Maurice Gattefossé, PhD, a French cosmetic chemist, is widely regarded as the father of aromatherapy. He and a group of scientists began studying essential oils in 1907.
In his 1937 book, Aromatherapy, Dr. Gattefossé told the real story of his now-famous use of lavender (Lavendula angustifolia) essential oil to heal a serious burn. The tale has assumed mythic proportions in essential oil literature. His own words about this accident are even more powerful than what has been told over the years.
Dr. Gattefossé was literally aflame — covered in burning substances — following a laboratory explosion in July, 1910. After he extinguished the flames by rolling on a grassy lawn, he wrote that…
“both my hands were covered with rapidly developing gas gangrene.”
He further reported… “just one rinse with lavender essence [oil] stopped the gasification of the tissue. This treatment was followed by profuse sweating and healing which began the next day.”
Lavender’s Medicinal Properties
Antiseptic, anti-fungal, analgesic, antitumoral, anticonvulsant, vasodilating, relaxant, anti-inflammatory, reduces blood fat/cholesterol, combats excess sebum on skin.
1.First -Degree Burns (Sunburn and minor Burns):?Essential Oils – Lavender*, Helichrysum*, Rose*, Melaluca ericfolia*. Blends: Gentle Baby*, Melrose*. (Topical: neat or dilute 50/50 with V-6 Massage Oil). Spray with LavaDerm Cooling Mist immediately and as necessary to cool the area.? Use Lavender-Rosewood Soap only after the burn has started to heal 24-48 hours.
2. Second-Degree Burns (Blisters): ?Spray immediately with LavaDerm Cooling Mist* 4-5 times every hour and follow with 2-3 drops of Lavender* essential oil. On days 2-5, mist every hour and follow with 2-4 drops of Lavender essential oil. Continue using LavaDerm 3-6 times a day until healed. Apply Rose Ointment** to keep tissue soft.
3.Third-Degree Burns : Seek immediate medical attention. Spraying LavaDerm* on the burn every few minutes for the first 24 hours will help tissue rehydrate. Applying Lavender* essential oil after misting will help the healing process.
Essential Oils Used for Treating Different Kinds of Burns
•Lavender* (#3575)
•Helichrysum* (#3563)
•Rose* (#3623)
•Melaluca ericfolia* (#3501)
•Gentle Baby* (#3345)
•Melrose* (#3378)
Products Used in Conjunction with Essential Oils for Treating Burns
•LavaDerm Cooling Mist (#3249)
•Lavender-Rosewood bar Soap (#3673)
•Rose Ointment** (#3709)
Tip: ** Do not use ointments on burns until they are at least three days old, or if the burn is bad ask your doctor when it would be advisable to use ointments.
Special Note: * 98 percent of all essential oils in the world are not therapeutic; meaning that they can cause a burn or other injury to become worse. Additionally, cheaper Lavender oils often are derived from “Lavandin” which has a much higher camphor level which will make a burn many times worse! Therefore, we never recommend using any essential oil that does not come from a reputable distiller, such as Young Living. I know there are cheaper Lavender oils on the market but stories abound when those are used in First Aid situations and have actually made the wound much worse.

Part 14: Finding Pure Essential Oils
Part 14: Finding Pure Essential Oils
January 13, 2011
Gary teaching YL distributors about lavender at the St. Maries farm in Idaho
3. If an oil is labeled pure therapeutic grade, can I be sure that it is? No!
Anyone can put anything on the label and then market it. Presently there are no therapeutic regulations on essential oils. The perfume and flavor industry, the largest purchaser of essential oils, uses guidelines called AFNOR. Developed in Europe, AFNOR sets minimum percent concentrations for 3 to 10 compounds of different essential oils. But essential oils have hundreds of compounds, so the most therapeutic compounds could be completely missing, and the oils would still meet AFNOR standards. This is why I have developed Young Living’s very high standards for therapeutic-grade essential oils.
4. If an oil is labeled organic, can I be guaranteed that it is? No!
Not even an oil produced from plants grown on an organic farm can be guaranteed to be organic. Neighboring farms could be spraying different chemicals that easily spread through the air contaminating the organic crop. It’s much like secondhand smoke. In addition, the water used for irrigation could be polluted with chemicals, sick fish, dead animals, or even human waste.
Some distilleries use chemicals in their water systems to protect the water tubes in the boilers from mineral buildup, and those chemicals mix with the water that turns into the steam that travels up through the plant material, which then usually contaminates the oil. Oils extracted from plants grown on an organic farm could also be contaminated with “organic synthetic compounds” that are put directly into the oil that goes into the barrels that go to the buyer. The labels could say “organic” because they come from an organic farm, and rare is the buyer who would ever know the difference.
5. If an oil matches the AFNOR standard, will it be therapeutic grade? Not always.
The parameters of the AFNOR standard from the low to the high range in some cases are far apart, and in other cases, the low range is below what I feel is a therapeutic grade.
6. Can geographic location make a difference in the quality of essential oils? Yes!
The climate, microclimate, temperature range, altitude, rainfall, and soil nutrient levels of a farm all impact the quality of essential oils.
To be continued . . .

The labels could say “organic” because they come from an organic farm, and rare is the buyer who would ever know the difference.
5. If an oil matches the AFNOR standard, will it be therapeutic grade? Not always.
The parameters of the AFNOR standard from the low to the high range in some cases are far apart, and in other cases, the low range is below what I feel is a therapeutic grade.
6. Can geographic location make a difference in the quality of essential oils? Yes!
The climate, microclimate, temperature range, altitude, rainfall, and soil nutrient levels of a farm all impact the quality of essential oils.
To be continued . . .

Gary’s Unwanted “Invader”
Gary’s Unwanted “Invader”
Gary takes a rare moment to rest in Oman
By Guest Blogger Mary Young
On Saturday, January 15, as I watched Gary coughing so horribly, struggling to breathe with a high fever and intense pain, I started thinking about all the stress and difficulties we put on ourselves for the sake of a cause and a desire to give the world something better. At that moment it didn’t seem like a very good trade.
Ever since we moved to Ecuador five years ago, Gary has been fascinated with the jungle. He loved the discovery of the unknown and was excited about finding new aromatic plants. I knew he was careful about what he ate and drank, but I was always concerned because I knew the jungle was full of attacking critters and infectious dangers.
But Gary was fearless as his unconquerable spirit led him deep into the Amazon without worry for what could be in his path. He always came home with different kinds of bites that usually itched like crazy, but never more than that. I have experienced this with him time and time again!
In Gary’s words: “On Saturday, January 15, I flew home from Idaho, where we had begun our harvest of the balsam fir. I had developed a horrible, gut-wrenching cough; high fever; and extreme fatigue. During the night I had extreme difficulty breathing, and when I was in bed, I felt like I was drowning and had to resort to trying to sleep in the recliner.
“I could tell it was getting worse, so I decided to have Mary take me to the Emergency Room at the American Fork Hospital with the intent of getting oxygen and finding out what was happening to me.”
He received a lot of help, and they were able to open up his lungs a bit so that he could get more oxygen and relieve his pain.
However, they could not find out what was wrong. The tests contradicted each other, came up negative, and left them baffled. The doctor, who we feel was very competent, determined that he had viral bronchitis and double pneumonia. But because Gary had been in the Amazon and in so many other places in the world, they were convinced that some exotic jungle disease was the cause of it all; so the doctor decided to send him to the Infectious Disease Department of the University of Utah Hospital.

Raindrop Technique and the Elderly
Raindrop Technique and the Elderly
Thursday, September 30th, 2010
Massage therapists, have you tried doing the Raindrop Technique on the elderly? Young Livings Raindrop Technique is a safe, non-invasive, and easy tool that can help the aged feel better. With a few simple oils– Valor®, oregano, thyme, basil, cypress, wintergreen, marjoram, Aroma Siez, peppermint, Ortho Ease and V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex– the Raindrop Technique can help bring the body, mind, and spirit into balance.
Here are some specific uses of the oils in the Raindrop Technique that can benefit the elderly:
· Valor helps to balance the energy in the body
· Oregano works to strengthen the immune system.
· Thyme helps overcome physical weakness and strengthen the immune system.
· Basil is relaxing to the muscles.
· Wintergreen can ease body aches and support the body’s natural defense mechanisms.
· Marjoram relieves minor discomforts.
· Aroma Siez helps to soothe the nerves and muscles.
· Peppermint feels really good and helps the other oils be more effective.
· Ortho Ease helps relax all the muscles on the back and reduces stress.
I have personally seen the Raindrop Technique help the elderly with posture, give an increase in energy, and help with their immune systems. Many of the results have been astounding! I have seen older adults walk better and have less discomfort getting up and down. At bare minimum, they will feel an increase in energy. They will be so thankful for the Raindrop Technique when you get through!
As you work on older individuals, be sensitive to their thinning skin and how they respond to the oils. Some of the essential oils in the Raindrop Technique can be quite hot. Have V-6 available to quickly dilute oils if needed. Also, be aware of the pressure you put on their bodies. What your younger clients can bear is usually heavier than the elderly.
Peace be with you,

Healthy Eating During the Holidays
Monday, November 16th, 2009
It is no secret that the average American gains a lot of weight around the holiday season—anywhere from seven to ten pounds between Thanksgiving and New Years Day, in fact. But even if you are not ready to give up all your holiday indulgences pass the egg nog, there is still plenty you can do to maintain a healthy eating routine during the coming season.
As you prepare for the upcoming holiday parties and special occasions, remember these tips and you will be in good shape come the New Year:
1.Do not skip meals—It may be tempting to skip lunch in anticipation of a turkey feast, but cutting back during the day often leads to eating excess later. If you eat regularly during the day and focus on healthy snacks, you will be much less tempted to splurge as the day goes on.
2.Control your portions—As with any good diet, moderation is the key to maintaining your health. You can go ahead and enjoy your favorite dessert, just treat yourself to a reasonable serving.
3.Eat slowly—There are no need to be in a rush! Concentrate on conversing with friends and family. Take small bites and chew completely. Then, once you are finished with your meal, leave the table to avoid further temptation.
4.Bring healthy alternatives—If you have a food assignment, replace high-calorie dishes with a healthier option. For example: In place of pumpkin or pecan pie, try Young Living’s Apple Wolfberry Pie see recipe below.
Do not forget that Young Living Therapeutic Grade essential oils are a great way to incorporate healthy habits into your holiday celebrations. Did you know that when you cook with essential oils, you get all the great taste of traditional herbs and spices without any unnecessary preservatives? And from November 14–20, you can get a special discount on some of our most popular cooking oils. Check the promotions section of www.youngliving.com for more information on the Holiday Cooking with Essential Oils promotion and remember to have a fun and healthy holiday season!
Apple Wolfberry Pie Filling
¾ c. Blue Agave
1 drop nutmeg essential oil
2 drops ocotea essential oil or cinnamon bark essential oil
4 c. organic apples, peeled and sliced Granny Smith is preffered
1 Tbsp. rice flour
½ c. dried wolfberries
Mix all ingredients except rice flour in a large skillet. Simmer until apples are soft and crisp. Add rice flour and mix until blended. Place in an unbaked pie shell and apply an egg wash around the edge of the shell. Add the pie top and pinch the edges together. Make at least four two-inch slits on top of the pie to release stem. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for ten minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake an additional fifteen minutes, or until crust is lightly browned. Makes pie filling for one pie.

How to Use Essential Oils
How to Use Essential Oils
There are three basic ways to use essential oils: inhalation, topical application, and internal consumption.
Inhalation
The inhalation of essential oils heightens the senses and can trigger numerous desired responses in the body. Below are several techniques used to inhale essential oils:
1: Direct inhalation-simply smell them.
2: Diffuse the oils using a Young Living diffuser which disperses the oil in a micro-fine vapor into the air. The Young Living diffuser will not heat the oils, thus ensuring full benefits, as extreme heat can damage important constituents in the oil.
3: Fill a humidifier with water. Put a tissue or small cloth, sprinkled with a few drops of oil, in front of the escaping steam. ( Do not put oil in your humidifier. It will float on top of the water instead of rising with the water vapor and may cause damage to your humidifier.)
4: Carefully pour hot water into a bowl and add a few drops of oil. Cover your head and bowl in a tent-like fashion with a towel. Breathe deeply and slowly.
Topical Application
Apply essential oils directly onto the skin where indicated. Dilute with V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex or a pure vegetable oil (e.g., olive or almond ) before applying if dilution is indicated in the Application Chart. Dilution may protect against possible skin sensitivities. Key points of application on the body are:
To apply topically on any of these areas, follow these simple steps:
1. Carefully tip the oil bottle and drop 2-3 drops in the palm of the hand or directly on the desired application area.
2. If dropping oil in your hand, rub palms together in a circular motion and then massage oil onto the desired point of application. If applying directly to the desired area, use your hand to massage the oil in a circular motion into the skin. Repeat if desired.
Attention: Essential oils are very potent, and some may be irritating to the skin. If irritation occurs, immediately apply V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex or pure vegetable oil to the area to dilute. Please read label directions for each individual oil before using.
You can also create your own massage oil blends by mixing your favorite essential oils with V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex or by using Young Living’s pre-mixed massage oil blends (e.g., Relaxation, Ortho Ease) to relax, uplift, soothe, and relieve.
Where to Topically Apply Essential Oils
•Crown of head
•Temples
•Behind ears
•Neck
•Upper back
•Abdomen
•Over vital organs
•Soles and top of feet
•Ankles
Suggested internal consumption methods:
1: Put several drops of oil into an empty capsule and swallow with water.
2: Add 1-2 drops to a glass of water or rice milk.
3: Put 1-2 drops onto a piece of bread or add to your meals when cooking.
4: Add 1-2 drops onto a teaspoon of Blue Agave and swallow.
5: Drop directly onto the tongue and swallow. Exercise extreme caution when using this method. Many oils are very strong and should be tested by pouring a single drop onto a spoon and tasting a small portion to determine the amount of oil to be used.
Young Living essential oils are pure, which makes them powerful and effective. For the responsible use of essential oils, read the complete label on each bottle and follow the safety guidelines and tips founding the Essential Oils User’s Guide available from your Young Living Independent Distributor.

Put your Best Skin Forward this Summer!
Put your Best Skin Forward this Summer!
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
Summer is upon us and we all want our skin to look great, whether out in the sun having fun or relaxing at a favorite hang-out. Here are some helpful skincare tips to help you make the most of your activities this summer:
1. Exfoliate to Radiate
It is so very important to exfoliate your skin. Your body sheds skin cells at an amazing rate every minute of every day. If you do not get orid of them, they just remain in place, giving your skin a dull, dry appearance. And no matter how much lotion you use, you are never going to have radiant skin if you do not exfoliate. So grab a body scrub and hit the shower! Gently rub your exfoliator Young Livings Satin Mint in circular movements on your entire body from the shoulders down you will want a facial exfoliator for your face and neck and rinse clean. Continue to do this 2-3 times a week for year-round beautiful skin.
2. Shave!
Now that the lazy days of winter are behind us it is time to pick out a good razor that will not cause razor burn. Do not use your husbands—he will not like it and it will not treat your legs well either. This also goes for shaving cream; choosing a shaving lotion is much better for your skin and will hydrate and help prevent nicks and cuts. As an alternative you can use a conditioner like Young Livings Lavender Volume Conditioner for a moisturizing shave cream.
3. Moisturize with a Summer Scent
Find a summeresque lotion that you will actually want to put on. This also means you need to exchange those thick winter body butters for lighter summery lotions. You do not have time to wait for your lotion to sink in, so look for something thats fast absorbing. I personally love a coconut and mango or other tropical scents. Nothing says summer more than a light refreshing citrus lotion! Just add a few drops of your favorite citrus essential oil to a lotion base to create an unbeatable scent. Make sure you apply right after you dry off from your shower, so you can seal in the moisture your body just soaked in.
4. Get a Safe Glow
When it comes to adding a little summer tint to your skin, there are so many better choices than using the tanning bed. Choosing a sunless tanner will give your skin a beautiful start to summer. Even if you ore not a fan of sunless tanners all over your body, you can happily use them on your face. Or just add a bit of sunless tanner to your facial moisturizer to get a healthy glow that will make it look as though you just spent the weekend on the beach. Most facial tanners build color gradually, but by alternating and blending with your regular moisturizer you will never get too dark or look fake and blotchy.
5. Take Care of those Feet
It is time to go get a pedicure try a beauty school if cost is a factor, or give yourself one at home. You need to exfoliate the dead dry skin off those feet to get them sandal ready. Nothing is worse than seeing dull dry feet inside cute sandals. But it does not have to be a big ordeal! Keep a foot scrub like Young Livings Satin Mint and a pedicure file in your shower and scrub your feet a few times a week. You will notice a big difference in the softness of your feet. Try treating your toes to a fun summer polish. Toes can be painted much bolder than any color you would put on your fingernails and picking a shade that screams summer will help you and your feet feel the season.

Omega Blue: Fatty Acids the Way Nature Intended
December 13th, 2010 If you’ve taken a trip to the grocery store lately, you may have noticed that your bread, milk, even your peanut butter is touting a new phrase: Now with added omega-3! Omega-3 fats, most typically found in fish oils, are more popular now than ever thanks to recent findings about their support of heart, circulatory, skin, respiratory, eye, and brain health.
The American Heart Association and the FDA have both given omega-3 fatty acids their endorsement. In fact, the American Heart Association has been recommending fish oil supplementation to heart patients since as early as 2002.
Though the benefits of omega-3 fish oils are wide-reaching, consumers should note that not all omega-3 supplements are created equal. When choosing a fish oil supplement, you must consider the freshness of the fish oil as one of the most important factors. In fact, fish oil can be so fragile that some cultures prefer to buy live fish to avoid dangerous rancidity. This rancidity can invite millions of harmful free radicals into your system. To avoid this potentially harmful side effect, a fish oil supplement is best when it is strengthened with natural antioxidants to preserve and protect freshness. In addition, consumers should stay away from supplements with concentrated fish oils that have been overly processed.
Enter Young Livings best-selling Omega Blue with pure fish oil and Omega Enhance.

December 13th, 2010 If you’ve taken a trip to the grocery store lately, you may have noticed that your bread, milk, even your peanut butter is touting a new phrase: Now with added omega-3! Omega-3 fats, most typically found in fish oils, are more popular now than ever thanks to recent findings about their support of heart, circulatory, skin, respiratory, eye, and brain health.
The American Heart Association and the FDA have both given omega-3 fatty acids their endorsement. In fact, the American Heart Association has been recommending fish oil supplementation to heart patients since as early as 2002.
Though the benefits of omega-3 fish oils are wide-reaching, consumers should note that not all omega-3 supplements are created equal. When choosing a fish oil supplement, you must consider the freshness of the fish oil as one of the most important factors. In fact, fish oil can be so fragile that some cultures prefer to buy live fish to avoid dangerous rancidity. This rancidity can invite millions of harmful free radicals into your system. To avoid this potentially harmful side effect, a fish oil supplement is best when it is strengthened with natural antioxidants to preserve and protect freshness. In addition, consumers should stay away from supplements with concentrated fish oils that have been overly processed.

Massage Therapy and Essential Oils
Touch, body work, and massage have many positive effects on the muscle, joint, circulatory,
and other body systems, and when combined with massage essential oils create a relaxing,
luxurious experience that balances the mind, body, and spirit.
Offering only the purest, most potent natural properties from each plant source,
Young Living Therapeutic Grade YLTG essential oils contain the optimum level of therapeutic
constituents for the most beneficial massage results.
Massage Therapy for Improved Health and Wellness
Massage therapy—the treatment and practice of soft tissue manipulation with physical, functional,
and psychological goals—involves massaging a person's body in a way that increases overall
wellness. Targeted pressure on the body is usually applied with hands and elbows and is said to
have numerous health benefits.
Massage therapy dates back more than 3,000 years. Used by the Chinese, Hindus, Egyptians, Persians,
and ancient Greeks, the therapeutic benefits of various types of massage have been documented for
centuries.
The Science of Massage Therapy
Massage therapy has been shown to have a wide array of benefits. From anxiety reduction and pain
relief to improved circulation, the therapeutic effects of touch promote all aspects of wellness.
Essential oils further support the benefits of massage therapy by enabling targeted aromatic and
topical relief. Certain oil collections, like Young Living's Raindrop Technique®, combine the art
of aromatherapy with the techniques of Vita Flex—rolling and releasing motions that activate the
reflex points—and massage.
Topical application of these specific oils to various areas of the body brings balance and harmony
while fostering a truly holistic wellness experience. Here are some commonly used techniques for
self-massage.
•Head massage:
Rub essential oils into the base of the skull, the crown of the head, or on the temples in a circular
motion.
•Face massage: Place a few drops of essential oils onto your hands and rub them together. Lightly cup
your face in your hands; the warmth of your hands and aroma of the oils will aid in relaxation.
•Jaw massage: Rub 1–2 drops of oil into the soft spot just below your ear lobe to release tension.
•Torso massage: For a quick energy boost rub oils into the area above the kidneys.
•Foot massage: There are many pressure points in the feet that correspond to other body systems. Rubbing
the soles of the feet with essential oils is a great way to release tension.
