Young Living lemon and nutmeg essential oils complement each component and add a mild, fresh flavor to the dish.

Clean Up Mold Naturally with Essential Oils

Toxic mold has become a serious problem and is estimated to be in about 50 percent of the homes in the USA and Canada. If you suspect or know that your home has mold it is wise to tend to the problem as soon as possible as to avoid negative health affects to you and your family. If you do not have mold it is recommended to 'prevent' it from occurring.
High quality essential oils, such as Young Living's, can play an important role in helping to prevent toxic black mold from occurring. It is so easy to prevent mold by using Young Living oils and to prevent mold from coming back.
These three charts show the effects of Thieves essential oil diffused 24, 48 and 72 hours:

10 Steps to Prevent and Eliminate Toxic Mold

If you do not have mold - in a Nebulizer Diffuser, diffuse the Thieves or Purification blend of essential oils for 15 minutes every 3 hours, or you may instead diffuse for 8 hours, non-stop, once a week. Tip: you can buy a light timer to plug your differ into and set the timer.
If you have mold -- Eliminate it and keep it from coming back

1. Sampling – you may want to contact a professional to have sampling done to determine the type of mold, and whether it is toxic or not. Toxic mold must be dealt with differently than non-toxic mold. If you cannot afford to have professional sampling done you can still try the 10 steps. Tip: the DIY mold sampling test kits are not accurate, so it is best to avoid them. Tip: it is best to discard any items that you do not need or want any longer - and if you do have mold do not sell or donate any items that may be contaminated with mold spores as this will give someone else the problem.
2. Diffuse - after your samples have been collected, diffuse the Thieves essential oil blend for 24-72 hours, nonstop, in the space. One Cold-air Nebulizer diffuser works well in spaces up to 1000 sq. ft. in size. If possible, and for best results, leave the room closed and sealed during this intensive diffusing. This will allow maximum penetration and absorption of the essential oil. It is best to 'not' be living in the space(s) that are being diffused as the essential oils, though they are nontoxic, will be too intense to stay around for longer than a few minutes after the essential oil mist is in the air. Do not leave children, pets, or fish in the space(s) while the 24 hour non-stop diffusing is taking place.
3. Repair all leaks - repair all leaks and eliminate all sources of moisture. This is a must!
4. Clean thoroughly - if sampling identifies NO toxic mold, then after diffusing has been completed, clean visible mold and stains with the Thieves Household Cleaner, undiluted. Use protective equipment and take precautions to avoid contact with and breathing mold spores while cleaning.
5. If sampling identifies Toxic Mold - contact a professional mold remediation service to have infested materials removed and properly disposed. Do not sell or donate any items that may be contaminated with mold spores, as this will give someone else the problem.
6. Resample - have your professional resample to be sure all sources of mold have been identified and remediated.
7. Repeat - if necessary, repeat steps 1 through 6, above.
8. Remove - mold infested materials, seal in plastic and properly dispose. If you do NOT have toxic mold, you may dispose sealed materials in your garbage.
9. Repair, Replace, Refinish all affected areas.
10. Diffuse Regularly for prevention and protection. See above, for details.

How much should I order to get started?

You Will Need…

• 1 - 15 ml bottle Thieves Essential Oil blend
• 1 Thieves Household Cleaner
• 1 Cold Air Essential Oil Diffuser

These items are sufficient for 1,000 sq.ft.
Note: Add one 15 ml bottle of Thieves Essential Oil for every additional 1,000 sq.ft.

Quality And Excellence with No Compromises

Dr. Susie Anthony

Quality And Excellence with No Compromises

It was several years ago that Dr. Susie Anthony was first introduced to Young Living Essential Oils. Today, she uses the products regularly at her Studio Psalm spa, which has gained a reputation for “quality and excellence with no compromises.” She adds, “Young Living reflects these high standards.”
As an international speaker, teacher, and author of life mastery and spiritual awareness issues, Susie has dedicated herself to educating individuals about the wellness revolution. Susie incorporates the use of essential oils into her book, A Map to God, and discusses Young Living Essential Oils Founder and President, Gary Young, and the history of the company. Susie also discusses groundbreaking ideas to conquer enlightenment stress and cope with spiritual emergencies simply by using Young Living's therapeutic-grade essential oils.

Business Building

Inspired by Gary's speech in London, Susie began building her own Young Living network and achieved Silver rank in six months—meaning that she had enabled at least two members of her downline (distributors she enrolled) to reach the rank of Executive while meeting personal and group sales volume goals.
Susie says, “I advise any new Young Living distributor to become a product of the product.” Susie uses all Young Living Essential Oils product lines and is especially fond of the Raindrop Technique®, Young Living's revolutionary collection that brings physical, mental, and emotional balance to the body. She is currently working to one day achieve Crown Diamond status, Young Living's highest possible distributor rank. In the meantime, Susie focuses on trade shows, exhibitions, and spreading the word about the benefits of Young Living Essential Oils.
Susie says, “Young Living has consistently demonstrated a cutting-edge wellness technology with highly potent cleanse, detox, and balance formulations that really work, plus the excellent training, backup, and support from the Young Living UK team.”
Her praise is endless as she mentors those around her. The best advice Susie offers to her downline is, “Be in your passion about Young Living and come from heart and high integrity.”

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!

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,




Nancy currently teaches in the U.S. and Europe on aromatherapy for people and companion animals.
