A great gift to those needing a stress relief..

Perhaps ancient peoples intuitively knew what researchers are finding out about lavender...it calms anxiety and provides natural stress relief. And that's not all -- lavender has a long list of medicinal properties, making it a natural health superstar. Lavender not only smells good, but it can also help you look and feel great! Lavender is enjoying renewed popularity as an alternative to conventional drug treatments.
Lavender and Relaxation
Lavender is known as a calming and relaxing herb and has frequently been used for insomnia, anxiety, depression, and natural stress relief.
One recent study discovered that the scent of lavender increases the time you spend in deep (slow wave) sleep, though the effects were stronger for women than for men. 1 Other findings suggest that lavender reduces the severity of depression when taken concurrently with an antidepressant.2
While lavender aromatherapy can help with your sleep and mood, it also has a wide range of health benefits.
"I refer to Lavender as the Universal Essential Oil. Our family keep a bottle of Young Living's therapeutic grade lavender oil in every room in our home. It's simply magnificent." Teri Williams, International Cover Model, Author, and Health Lecturer
Lavender and Your Health
Throughout history, people have turned to lavender for all kinds of ailments including acne treatment, skin disorders, digestive complaints, pain relief, and to prevent and treat infections.
While much of the evidence that supports the medicinal use of lavender is anecdotal, scientists are starting to research the effects of lavender on the body and have discovered that lavender has anti-microbial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.3,4
Lavender has also been shown to reduce the progression of candida albicans and may be an effective treatment for other infections.5
In combination with other oils, lavender was found to slow the growth of breast cancer tumors in mice.6
Aromatherapists feel that lavender essential oil is the most versatile because of its many healing properties and considers it one of the best essential oils to have on hand. David, are you enjoying the beneftis of lavender oil yet?
"My son had problems for years being able to fall asleep. He would lay there for hours it seemed. He had gotten into the habit of taking something over the counter before bedtime each night. He is 21 yrs old with a mind of his own, and I was really worried. One day, I asked him if I could put Lavender on the bottom of his feet at bedtime and he agreed. He slept like a baby and now he uses it every night. He no longer takes anything else!" Regina Danley
Lavender has been used for:
  • Pain relief
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Muscle aches and sprains
  • Menstrual cramps
  • Allergies
  • Relaxation
  • Sleep
  • Burns
  • Acne
  • Insect bites
  • Dry skin
  • Muscle relaxant
  • A deodorant.
  • Rub several drops of Lavender oil into the scalp to help eliminate dandruff.
  • Place a few drops of Lavender oil on a cotton ball and place in your linen closet to scent the linens and repel moths and insects.
  • Place a drop of Lavender oil in your water fountain to scent the air, kill bacteria and prolong the time between cleanings.
  • Place a few drops of Lavender oil on a wet cloth and throw into the dryer, which will deodorize and freshen your laundry.
  • Put a drop of Lavender oil on a cold sore.
  • Diffuse Lavender oil to alleviate the symptoms of allergies.
  • Spritz several drops of Lavender oil mixed with distilled water on a sunburn to decrease pain.
  • Drop Lavender oil on a cut to clean the wound and kill bacteria.
  • Apply 2-3 drops of Lavender oil to a rash to stop the itching and heal the skin.
Friends, are you ready to try lavender oil?
I'm looking forward to speaking with you soon.

Clearing up a bad skin condition

The following testimonial is reprinted with permission from  (Susan Marshall's) bulletin:

Susan writes: I’ve received a great testimonial from Tania, a participant of my last “Essential Oils for Horses” clinic. Tania enjoyed the clinic and started using the Young Living Essential Oils and their products on her horses and family. Recently one of her horses came down with an awful skin condition. Tania was going to call the vet but decided to first try a home remedy. She used a natural horse shampoo with eucalyptus oil and then rinsed the affected areas with Thieves Household Cleaner. In just over a week – from only one application! – this is the difference she saw…………..

BEFORE




AFTER
 

What an amazing difference in such a short space of time. The face of the horse has completely returned to normal and the rump is showing signs of hair growth again.  Let’s look at the individual products:

1.      Animal Scents Shampoo” is designed to clean, protect and condition all types of animal fur and hair, without the harmful ingredients often found in pet care products. This all-natural shampoo contains five powerful essential oils, which are blended to gently cleanse, increase luster, and enhance grooming.  It also has insect-repelling properties, and naturally deters lice, ticks, and other insects.

2.      Eucalyptus radiata oil is also available from Young Living. Have you ever used Eucalyptus lozenges? Then you will know about Eucalyptus oil's reputation as an anti-bacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory agent. Young Living's Eucalyptus radiata is cooling, refreshing and energising. Because it is relatively gentle and non-irritating, it is the preferred Eucalyptus variety for use on children and animals. This variety is one of the most versatile of the eucalyptus oils and is suitable for topical use, diffusing and even direct inhalation.

3.      Thieves Household Cleaner is amongst the many products in Young Living's Thieves range.  Why the name “Thieves”?  Thieves oil blend was inspired from research into a group of 15th century thieves who rubbed oils on themselves to avoid contracting the plague while they robbed the bodies of the dead and dying.  When apprehended, these thieves disclosed the formula of herbs, spices and oils they used to protect themselves in exchange for more lenient punishment. The spices they chose were high in antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-infectious constituents, thus affording them a great level of protection from the plague. Young Living makes a range of Thieves products including soap, dental floss, toothpaste, mouthwash, household cleaner and wipes, not to mention the Thieves oil blend.  All that Tania had on her at the time was the household cleaner but as you can see it worked.

Testimonials and Recipes:

RECIPES:
Here are a few of my favorite recipes that I give as gifts frequently -Sondra McBride

BATH SALTS
3 parts Epsom Salt
2 parts Baking Soda
1 part Sea Salt
Mix together and add:
Essential Oils as desired (Approx. 10 drops per 1 cup of Epsom Salt)
Coloring as desired (Powdered food grade coloring works well)

LIP BALM
1/4 cup of herb infused oil (almond, sesame, jojoba, etc.)
1/4 oz. of BeesWax
Melt the above using a double-boiler or very low heat.
When beeswax is completely melted, remove from heat and allow to cool a little.
Then add 10-20 drops of essential oil as desired and coloring if desired.
Beet powder and other herbs can be used for coloring.
(Increase the amount of beeswax to approx. oz. if you like your lip balm more solid)

BODY & DUSTING POWDER
3/4 cup arrowroot powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
25 drops of essential oil
In a blender or with a mortar and pestle, mix very well. That's it!!!

ANTI-WRINKLE CREAM
2 oz. Jojoba oil
25 drops of essential oils of your choice

The essential oils of lavender, geranium, neroli, rosemary, rose, and frankincense are historic "antiaging" ingredients for mature skin. Jasmine, myrrh, carrot seed, and helichrysum also rejuvenate the skin, encouraging new cell growth.

Since jojoba oil also contains natural wrinkle removing qualities, it is a natural for a base or carrier oil to add the essential oils into. Mixing and matching creates a natural synergy.

Example: Lavender has its own attributes as does helichrysum have its own. However, when they are mixed, instead of 1 and 1 making 2, they magnify each other to the tune of perhaps 5 or 6 or more. This oil may be used day or night or both for a truly enhancing and youthful appearance.

SALT GLOW
1/4 cup Kosher salt
1/4 cup Epsom salt
1/4 cup sea salt
2 oz. Hazelnut or Jojoba oil
Approx. 20 drops of essential oil of your choice (can use a blend of oils)

ALMOND / OATMEAL EXFOLIATING FACE SCRUB
1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup ground oatmeal
20-25 drops of essential oil of your choice
Grind almonds to a fine texture in a food processor or grinder
add ground oatmeal and essential oil and mix well.

Wet face.
Add 1 tsp. of the scrub to your palm and moisten with water; apply to face.
Massage in a circular motion over face and neck.
Rinse well with cool water.
Use as a regular face wash or as needed to exfoliate.

* * *

EXFOLIATING FOOT & BODY SCRUBS
Exfoliating foot and body scrubs have become very popular. And no wonder-not only do they feel good to apply, but they leave the skin feeling soft and wonderful afterwords! Try experimenting with different essential oils or blends or try combining different exfoliating materials until you find your own personal favorite.

Instructions:
Pour 1/4 cup of either coarse sea-salt, fine sea-salt, or raw sugar in a bowl (Note: while salt works very well as an exfoliating agent, it can sting if it gets into open cuts or sores, so be sure to either warn recipients to only use on unbroken skin, or use sugar as your exfoliator instead).

Add 1/4 cup of sweet almond oil and stir together. If desired, add the contents of two gel-capsules of vitamin E (optional) and stir.

Add 10-20 drops of your favorite essential oil or blend and stir.

Pour the mixture into either a small wide-mouth glass jar, or in a 4 oz. plastic salve container.

To use the scrub, place a small amount in the palm and scrub over moistened skin. Rinse off in a shower or tub (Note: the oils in this scrub can make the floor of the bathtub or shower rather slippery, so use extreme caution while rinsing off so you don't fall).

Extra Ideas
Use ultramarine powders or other natural powders and oil-soluble colorants to color your scrubs.

Try using different coarsenesses of salt or sugar to create progressively smoother scrubs (ie, a coarse "buffing" scrub, followed by a fine "polishing" scrub) with different essential oils to help relax in each scrub.

Try using brown sugar, table salt, or white sugar as your exfoliating agent instead of sea salt (or try combining two or more exfoliating agents) to get a different feel for your scrub.

* * *

GEL AIR FRESHENERS
These naturally scented gel air-fresheners are great for the home, the car, the office, or anywhere else you desire. They also make great inexpensive gifts that you can share with anyone.

Instructions
Dissolve two envelopes (2 Tbsp.) of unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup of boiling water (this may take up to 5 minutes).

Add 1/2 cup of ice-cold water to the gelatin mixture.

Add 10-15 drops of the essential oil or blend of your choice.

Add 3-5 drops of food coloring (if desired).

Stir in 1 Tbsp. of salt, or 10-15 drops of a natural grain alcohol if desired (the salt or alcohol helps inhibit mold from growing on the gel).

Pour the gel mixture into 2 oz. salve containers, 1/3 oz. lip gloss containers, or used baby food jars.

Close the containers or jars, and allow to cool overnight (do not place in the fridge, or your food will absorb the scent.

Decorate the containers or jars as desired.

To use these gel air fresheners, open the container, place on a warm stove-top (not the burner) while cooking, or simply place the open container on the counter or a shelf inside your home, or in a cup-holder inside your car.

Extra Ideas
Try creating layered gels by filling a jar 1/2 way with one color of gel, allowing that to cool for a couple of hours, then pouring another color of gel on top of that.

NATURAL LIP BALM
This creamy lip balm recipe is a lot of fun to make! You can make just one kind, or you can experiment and create several different flavors. Lip balm also makes a great addition to any gift basket!

Ingredients Needed:

Beeswax: This can be found at local health stores, craft stores, or candle-making supply stores. It is available either in its natural golden color, or it is also available in a bleached white color. It can be purchased either in blocks that can be grated with a cheese grater to get smaller pieces that are easier to work with, or it can also be purchased as small pellets. For this recipe you will need one tablespoon.

Cocoa butter: This can be found at many health stores, or any other store that sells soap or lotion making supplies. You will need about one-half tablespoon for this recipe.

Sweet almond oil: This can be found at many grocery stores and health stores. You will need 4 teaspoons for this recipe.

Honey (optional): This gives your lip gloss a sweeter taste and smell. You can use up to one teaspoon for this recipe.

Vitamin E (optional): This can be found either as capsules in most health and grocery stores, or it can also be found as a liquid in many drug stores. You will need either one capsule, or 3-4 drops of liquid for this recipe. Besides being an antioxidant, Vitamin E is also a natural preservative and will help your lip balm last longer.

Essential oils: These not only give your lip balm its own unique scent and flavor, they also add the benefits of the essential oil you use to your lip balm creation. Some favorite essential oils to use are peppermint (with or without honey), or one of the citrus oils (such as orange, lime, lemon, or grapefruit) along with the honey (one caution about the citrus oils-they are photosensitizing and can increase the risk of sunburned lips if this lip balm is worn while out in the sun).

Because lip balm is worn on the lips and might end up in the mouth, make sure the essential oils are Therapeutic Grade such as are produced by Young Living. You will need about 5-10 drops of essential oil for this recipe.

Instructions:
Pack grated beeswax or beeswax pellets into a Tablespoon size measuring spoon until it is packed level with the top, then dump the beeswax into a heat-proof measuring cup (such as a PyrexT brand measuring cup).

Pack cocoa butter into a one-half-tablespoon size measuring spoon until it is packed level with the top, then dump cocoa butter into the measuring cup with the beeswax.

Add 4 teaspoons of sweet almond oil to the beeswax and cocoa butter. If a sweeter lip gloss is desired, add up to 1 teaspoon of honey.

Place the measuring cup in a large frying pan that is filled with 1" of hot water.

Place the frying pan and measuring cup on the stove and turn the burner on low.

Stir the mixture in the measuring cup with a popsicle stick or bamboo skewer every couple of minutes until the wax is completely melted (about 15-20 minutes).

Turn off stove and carefully remove the measuring cup from the frying pan and place the measuring cup on a towel on a counter-top or table.

If desired, stir in the contents of 1 capsule of vitamin E (or 3-4 drops liquid vitamin E). Stir in 5-10 drops of your desired essential oil or blend.

Pour the mixture into lip balm dispensers, lip gloss containers, or any other small jar or container. This recipe will fill 4 or 5 containers. You may find it easier (and cleaner) to either use a small dropper to transfer the mixture into the small containers, or to use a small funnel to help pour the mixture into the small containers without spilling on the side.

Extra Ideas
To make this lip balm into a softer, shinier lip gloss, try adding a teaspoon more sweet almond oil, and a teaspoon less beeswax (or experiment with your own proportions to find something you like). Create fun labels for your lip balm creations using 2" x 4" labels. Set up your labels so that two labels fit side-by-side on each 2" x 4" label, then cut the label in half after printing so you have two labels that each measure 2" x 2". This size fits perfectly on our white lip balm dispensers.

* * *

MASSAGE OILS
Massage oils make fantastic personalized gifts for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, or any other special occasion. Give a single bottle, or create a massage gift-pack with several varieties of oils.

Instructions:
Pour one ounce of pure vegetable oil in a small cup or bowl (one ounce equals 1/8 cup, 2 tablespoons, or approximately 30 milliliters). Some oils that work well for massage are V-6 Mixing Oil (a blend of seven different vegetable oils available from Young Living Essential Oils), grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil, olive oil, or sesame seed oil.

Add 15-30 drops of your favorite essential oil or blend to the vegetable oil and stir together. Some oils that might work well either individually or as part of a blend are listed below.

Calming & Relaxing: Cedarwood, Roman Chamomile, Lavender, Clary Sage, Jasmine, Myrrh, or Ylang Ylang.

Invigorating or Energizing: Cypress, Fir, Juniper, Lemon, Nutmeg, Orange, Grapefruit or Peppermint.

Romantic: Rose, Jasmine, Clary Sage, Rosewood, or Ylang Ylang.

Pour the combined oils into a one-ounce amber glass bottle, a one-ounce plastic bottle, or into two half-ounce plastic dropper bottles.

Create a label or gift-tag that says what kind of massage oil it is, what the ingredients are, and how to use it (for example, your label or gift-tag might read: "Peaceful Moment Massage Oil: Contains pure grapeseed oil and natural essential oils of Lavender and Chamomile. Apply to desired area and massage oil into the skin.").

Get Wisdom! In ALL your getting get understanding!

Bad health comes from bad decisions...Bad decisions come from lack of knowledge.. Check this now and please pass it on to those that you love and care about.
Biofrequency and Disease compiled by Kathy Kouwe
Pure Essential Oils Have Very High Frequency
The effectiveness of essential oils cannot be fully understood without some discussion of frequency.
Frequency is a measurable rate of electrical energy that is constant between any two points. Every living thing has an electrical frequency. Robert O. Becker, M.D., documents the electrical frequency of the human body in his book, The Body Electric. A frequency generator was developed in the early 1920's by Royal Raymond Rife, M.D. He found that by using certain frequencies, he could destroy a cancer cell or virus. He found that these frequencies could prevent the development of disease, and others would destroy disease.
Bjorn Nordenstrom, a radiologist from Stockholm, Sweden, wrote the book "Biologically Closed Circuits". He discovered in the 1980's that by putting an electrode inside a tumor and running a milliamp D.C. (Direct Current) through the electrode, he could dissolve the cancer tumor and stop its growth. He found electropositive and electronegative energy fields in the human body.
Bruce Tainio of Tainio Technology in Cheney, Washington, developed new equipment to measure the biofrequency of humans and foods. He used this biofrequency monitor to determine the relationship between frequency and disease. Measuring in megahertz, it was found that processed / canned food had a zero MHz frequency; fresh produce measured up to 15 MHz frequency; dry herbs from 12-22 MHz; and fresh herbs from 2-27 MHz. Essential oils started at 52 MHz and went as high as 320 MHz, which is the frequency of rose oil. A healthy body typically has a frequency ranging from 62 to 78 MHz, while disease begins at 58 MHz.
Clinical research shows essential oils, having the highest frequency of any natural substance known to man, can create an environment in which microbes, disease, bacteria, virus, fungus, etc., cannot live. Truly, the chemistry and frequencies of essential oils have the ability to help man maintain an optimal health frequency.
It is wonderful to discover that essential oil frequencies are several times greater than frequencies of herbs and foods. For years, research has been conducted on the use of electrical energy to reverse disease. Scientists in the field of natural healing have believed there has to be a more natural way to increase the body's electrical frequency. This led to the research and subsequent discovery of electrical frequencies in essential oils. Patients felt better emotionally when oils were diffused in their rooms. It seemed that, within seconds, these patients were more calm and less anxious with little exposure and inhalation. Certain oils acted within 1-3 minutes; others acted within seconds. It is fascinating to think that an oil applied to the bottom of the feet could travel to the head and take effect within one minute. The more results that have been seen, the more research has been initiated.
Unhealthy Substances Cause Frequency Changes. In one test, the frequency of two individuals, the first a 26 year old male and the second a 24 year old male, was measured at 66 MHz each. The first individual held a cup of coffee (without drinking any), and his frequency dropped to 58 MHz in 3 seconds. He put the coffee down and inhaled an aroma of essential oils. Within 21 seconds, his frequency had returned to 66 MHz. The second individual took a sip of coffee and his frequency dropped to 52 MHz in the same 3 seconds. However, no essential oils were used during the recovery time, and it took 3 days for his frequency to return to its initial 66 MHz. One surprising aspect of this study measured the influence that thoughts have on the body's electrical frequency. Negative thoughts lowered the measured frequency by 12 MHz and positive thoughts raised the measured frequency by 10 MHz. It was also found that prayer and meditation increased the measured frequency levels by 15 MHz.
