Cholesterol Got You Worried?

September 27, 2009 in Alternative Therapies, Antioxidant, Blends, Energy Drink, Fish Oil, Immune System, Longevity, Natural Health, NingXia Red Juice by Jonell Elder | No comments

Some people have high cholesterol even when they have always been fit and eat right. But yet their cholesterol is high and needs help to be lowered, so they go on medication because they think there are no other choices. Other people are not doing the right things to be healthy, like being overweight, not on a regular exercise program and they stay on that mode of existence. Until their cholesterol is out of control, then they get worried and know they need to do something. Most doctors give you a few months to get it under control, by changing your diet and getting exercise into you life. If the results aren’t favorable, on to pharmaceutical medication they go.

I fall into the second group. I got lazy in regards to exercise and eating right, and yet I am very busy in other areas of my life. Hello, time to prioritize and get it together and take care of myself. No one else can do that for me. Well actually if I was wealthy, I would have a cook and a personal trainer. Hmmm, I’m thinking that day will come. But in the meantime, my doctor said change your ways girlfriend or you will need to go on cholesterol medication. Ha, I know I don’t want that.

So in the 3 month period before my follow up blood test, I did several things. ningxia-red-plate

Corrected my diet to be more cholesterol friendly.
Exercise 4-5 times a week
Drink 2 ounces of NingXia Red daily. (Super anti-oxidant, energy drink)
Apply AromaLife essential oil blend every morning.

I went back to have the blood test, and my cholesterol levels had improved, but still need to improve more. So now I have another 3 months to keep on doing what I am doing.

I also am adding to my regime:

Longevity^TM softgels, a potent, proprietary blend of fat-soluble antioxidants. Longevity blend should be taken daily to strengthen the body’s systems to prevent the damaging effects of aging, diet, and the environment.* Enriched with the pure essential oils thyme, orange, and now frankincense, Longevity protects DHA levels, a nutrient that supports brain function and cardiovascular health, promotes healthy cell regeneration, and supports liver and immune function.* Longevity also contains clove oil, nature’s strongest antioxidant, for ultra antioxidant support.

Article contributed by Shayla.

There are thousands of natural health products on the market today. I can see how a person just learning how to become healthy could view the process as very daunting, with so many choices to make! The quest becomes further complicated when you consider that so many of the products don’t even do what they promise. It is my hope that this article will eliminate much of the confusion in this area, and help you find the true path to good health. That said, many alternative medicine teachers believe and teach that most disease can be avoided if a person were to implement a lifestyle of cleansing and nourishing the body. A person just beginning their quest to get healthy would do well to memorize these concepts since they are considered by experts to be the foundation for good health, and they may help a person to stay on track.

Over the years, and after seeing and evaluating hundreds of products on the market, I have noticed that all the products out there (if they all truly did what they promise) could be fit into these two main categories of cleansing and nourishing. A person will be able to eliminate allot of confusion in viewing products as fitting into these categories. One of the beautiful things about a natural approach, is so many products provided by nature may dominate the area of cleansing or nourishing-however so many of them gently assist the other area as well. For example, Products like Young Living’s NingXia Red are powerful super foods that nourish the body on a cellular level, however, some of the ingredients in it also work gently to cleanse! Personally I believe that God created products in His pharmacy that way on purpose!

Of these two main categories of cleansing and nourishing, research has been discovering that there are five supplements that the body specifically needs to maintain good health, and in many cases six. These areas work to add high levels of nutrition, and some of them actually nourish the body with ingredients that cleanse. These five areas are anti-oxidants, essential sugars, essential fatty acids, pro-biotics, and essential nutrients (best in the form of a whole food supplement). If a person does not eat enough raw fruits and vegetables, then a sixth element is added in the form of enzymes. What we are going to do is break these down into parts and discuss them individually.

Anti-oxidants - These precious substances have been discovered to nourish the body by cleansing and combating free radicals and inflammation, two things that science is discovering to be instigators of disease and aging. It has been a well known concept in natural healing for years that inflammation is behind most of our health problems today. Modern medicine is beginning to catch up with this concept, as Time magazine years ago came out with an article (read article here) telling of how inflammation is behind cancer, heart problems, arthritis, chronic pain and other problems. By controlling chronic inflammation some authorities believe that one may be able to avoid disease.

To explain free radicals; they are cells that lost a part (also known as an electron). Once one cell looses a part (electron), it effects other cells by causing them to loose parts too. A cascading effect is seen, and health deteriorates and aging is sped. Anti-oxidants address the problem of the unruly cells by donating electron’s that were lost by the cell! Young Livings Longevity capsules and essential oil blend contain therapeutic grade oils such as thyme, clove, orange, and frankincense, these oils are some of the most powerful anti-oxidant sources in the world. On top of which, some of these oils are, according to the Essential Oils Desk Reference, anti-inflammatory (meaning tames inflammation). The EODR goes on to list the oils in this blend as antimicrobial, they protect essential fatty acids, and they help to protect cells. To learn more about why Longevity is an excellent choice when it comes to antioxidants, click here for an in depth PDF file. Eating good, whole and natural, and especially raw foods are another excellent and important way we can slow this process down and avoid inflammation too.

Essential Fatty Acids are another important supplement to the body and they too fit into both categories, cleansing and nourishing. Studies have been popping up everywhere on how they improve heart health, brain function, and help the body process bad fats. A maternity magazine recently came out with clinical studies proving increased I.Q. and vision among babies whose mothers took essential fatty acids during pregnancy and lactation. Fish oils are a good source of essential fatty acids, but one must take only the purest because some fish oil can be loaded with mercury and dioxins (petrochemicals). Young Living has a phenomenal essential fatty acid product called Omega blue.

Most fish oils are distilled (purified) with a molecular distillation process which distorts the structure of the oil which in turn affects how it works in the body. Young Living has a unique process using non molecular distillation which removes these toxins without ruining the structure of the oil. Another thing to watch out for is essential fats go rancid easily. A rancid oil is very bad, and is the last thing you want to put into your body as it is full of free radicals. Young Living adds essential oils to their Omega Blue, which stabilizes fats and prevents rancidity. In addition to this, the essential oils increase bio activity and bio-availability of the essential fats in the body by 10 times!

The therapeutic grade oils in Omega Blue are Clove (the most powerful antioxidant oil), Thyme Eugenol, which has been found to reduce inflammation by 30% when combined with fish oil, Lemongrass, important for heart health support, ligaments, and is anti-inflammatory, Myrrh which is also anti- inflammatory and has been found beneficial for digestion, skin, and stimulating the immune system, and lastly blue chamomile found to be anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and promoting to digestion. Another important and special aspect to Young Living’s Omega Blue is that it is enteric coated. What this means is that it does not open in the stomach, but rather in the intestines. Research has found that fish oil delivered to the intestines is absorbed 3 times better then when in the stomach. For more information on Omega Blue, view an online PDF file here.

Lymph Nodes and the Lymph System

September 25, 2009 in Alternative Therapies, Aromatherapy, Buy / Purchase, Deodorant, Essential Oils, Immune System, Natural Health, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil, Young Living Distributor, Young Living Essential Oils by Tammy Baile | No comments

ecuador-farm-palo-santo-tree Article contributed by Shayla.

The lymph system and nodes are part of the circulatory system, and where the anatomy of the immune system lies. We all know the purpose of the immune system, to find, capture, and neutralize microbes and substances that would otherwise harm us. As we travel through the parts of the lymph system, we find special areas; the tonsils, bone marrow, liver, spleen, lungs, and intestines, these are area’s where lymphocytes (good guys) are recruited, mobilized, and deployed as they are needed. Also, throughout the lymph system are lymph nodes. Lymph nodes filter the toxins that are picked up, and they too help in ways to destroy these harmful toxins.

Whereas the blood part of our circulation is cleaned by the kidneys and liver, the lymph system often eliminates through the skin, and often closest to where the toxic substances were found and captured. Swollen lymph nodes around these area’s are common in people and can be quite painful, and can occur throughout the body. Good ways to get a sluggish lymph system moving are exercise, especially cardio. Dancing and using a ton of hand movements is another good way! Little mini trampolines are purchased by many people, as bouncing on them has long since been said to improve the lymph system. And of course there is the obvious, clean up the diet, cleanse, and nourish!

Dr. Christopher used to have a remedy using a poultice of lobelia and mullein, and applying it to painful swollen nodes. He found that if a person was strong and healthy the node would go down and the persons body would deal with the toxins by eliminating through the normal routes. However, he found that when a person was weak and sickly, the toxins would emerge through the skin in the form of an eruption. Although this remedy was wonderful and beneficial, most people don’t want to go through the trouble of a poultice, and many people who have to work simply cannot. Poultices can be messy, and uncomfortable. A poultice is made by taking the herb, pouring enough boiling water into it to make a moist mass, and applying it to the skin with gauze and bandages to hold it in place.

This is one area out of many where I have found therapeutic grade essential oils to be far more handy then herbs! According the Essential Oils Desk Reference, essential oils have long since been used to detoxify and stimulate the lymph system. Essential oils work similar to enzymes in that they help digest foreign particles (1), and many have antioxidants which work to neutralize free radicals (free radicals have been linked to cancer). Putting essential oils on swollen lymph glands would be easy to do at work and all throughout the day. In addition to this, you and everyone around you would enjoy the aromatherapy bonus that comes with applying the oils as well!

If a person has swollen lymph nodes, especially throughout the body, they should see their doctor just to verify something more serious is not going on. However, for simple swollen nodes and lymph congestion, the following therapeutic essential oils are listed in the Essential Oils Desk Reference (EODR).

Single oils to support normal lymph system/circulation include; Therapeutic grade oils of Ledum, Sandalwood, Helichrysum, Myrtle, Grapefruit, Lemongrass, Cypress, Tangerine, Orange, Rosemary.

Therapeutic grade Young Living Blends that contain oils beneficial to normal lymphatic function include the following: Di-Gize, JuvaFlex, JuvaCleanse supplement, EndoFlex, Thieves, Acceptance, R.C., Aroma Life, En-R-Gee, and Citrus Fresh.

Although it is not listed in the Essential Oils Desk Reference, I have seen Young Living’s M-Grain essential oil blend ease throbbing pain symptoms from a swollen lymph node on the head.

People who suffer from swollen lymph nodes in the armpit area’s would do well to stop using the toxic underarm deodorants which further plug the nodes and fill the area (and therefore body) with harmful chemicals and brain deteriorating aluminum. Young Living provides essential oil infused deodorants that work for men and women which may even benefit the body’s lymph system. For consistent lymph congestion, one may benefit from doing a body detox.

A total of 91 Young Living single essential oils, and 64 Young Living blends were tested for their inhibitory activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in 2008. Of the 91 single Young Living essential oils 78 exhibited zones of inhibition against MRSA. And of the 64 Young Living blends 52 exhibited inhibitory activity against MRSA.

Note: All essential oils are NOT created equal. Most essential oils are of lower quality. Therefore, do NOT use the information provided here for other brands. Learn why quality is so important.

Since the 1950s, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have reported that the proportion of overall staphylococcal infections due to MRSA has risen steadily from 2% in 1974, to 22% in 1995, to 63% in in 2004[1] in the USA. Although initially most MRSA infections were acquired in hospital (HA-MRSA) settings, the first appearance of a community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) occurred in 1982 among intravenous drug users in Detroit.[2]

Since 1982 CA-MRSA (Community Acquired -MRSA) has grown annually into an ever-increasingly source of infections among individuals previously labeled as belonging to ‘low-risk’ groups.

Since cases of HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA are increasing, as are the rates of antibiotic therapy failures, many have been searching for new methods of prevention and treatment.[3-6] Research has revealed some promising novel antimicrobial candidates including superior quality essential oils, such as Young Living’s.

In vitro data indicate that many Young Living essential oils have antimicrobial activity.[7] The activities that were investigated and their actions against various pathogens, including MRSA, were demonstrated. [8-14]

There are also several clinical studies [15, 16] and case reports [17, 18] noting the successful use of YL essential oils in treating MRSA nasal carriage or MRSA infections. Specifically, Dryden et al.[15] and Caelli et al.[16] reported that topical YL tea tree (YL Melaleuca) was effective as standard therapy for reducing MRSA nasal colonization; Sherry et al.{17, 18] reported successful treatment of patients with staphylococcal wound infections. However, several review articles[17, 18] have reported that, while use of essential oils as antimicrobial agents is promising, additional in vivo studies and more clinical studies involving larger numbers of subjects are needed.

Previous studies done in the YL lab have shown inhibition of Streptococcus pneumoniae and other pathogens by various YL essential oils, but these oils were not tested specifically against MRSA.[7, 22, 23] Thus, this study was initiated to screen YL essential oils for inhibitory activity against medically important bacterium to determine their potential as candidates for use as disinfectants, antiseptics, or topical treatments against MRSA.

The Results of the Young Living Single Essential Oils

Of the 91 YL single essential oils that were screened by the disc diffusion assay, 78 had measurable inhibitory activity, while 13 exhibited no detectable inhibitory activity against MRSA.

Of the YL single essential oils tested, lemongrass, lemon myrtle, mountain savory, cinnamon bark and melissa showed the highest levels of inhibition. lemongrass-oil

Remarkably, the YL essential oil lemongrass (60 mm) completely inhibited all MRSA growth on the plate.

Significant zones of inhibition (45-57 mm) were found for these other YL essential oils: thyme, cumin, Eucalyptus citriodora, tsuga, oregano, Melaleuca arternifolia.

Intermediate inhibition zones (35-42 mm) were detected for the YL singles of: ledum, Eucalyptus dives, niaouli, manuka, peppermint, elemi, and rosewood.

Results of the Young Living Essential Oil Blends

Of the 64 YL blends tested, 52 showed zones of inhibition, while 12 showed no detectable inhibitory activity against MRSA.

Of the YL blends, the blend called R.C. scored the best, with the blends Motivation second, Longevity third.

An Observation

It was noted that the single essential oils that showed little or no detectable zone of inhibition when combined with other singles can produce significant zones of inhibition, suggesting a ‘synergy’ is occurring between the essential oils. For instance, the blend ‘Motivation’ showed anti-MRSA activity greater than the individual single oils when tested alone. Thus, the diameter of the zone of inhibition is greater than would be expected if the effect was only due to the YL oils acting independently. Likewise, the data for the other two YL blends, R.C. and Longevity, imply synergism of the combined single oils in the blends.

Preventing Staph Infections: what I like to do

Whenever possible I like to practice ‘prevention.’ A perfect example occurred this past spring when I seriously injured my foot and ankle and had to go to the Emergency Room. Here’s what I did because it was convenient…

I took a bottle of my Thieves Waterless Hand Sanitizer and added to the 1 oz. bottle 7 drops of Lemongrass essential oil, and shock it up good.

Prior to getting out of the car, both Curt and myself squirted a nickel size dab of the Thieves hand sanitizer in our palms and rubbed it in well being sure to cover all parts of our hands.

After my blood-pressure was taken (on my bare arm and that little thing they put on your finger), Curt put a nickel size dab in his palm and rubbed it around my arm where the cuff had been located, and he squeezed a dab into my palm so I could rub the Thieves hand sanitizer (with lemongrass included) over my hands again. thieves_purifier_foaming_soap

The doctor looked at and touched my calf, ankle and foot. I also had X-ray’s where my foot again was touched – both times by hospital staff who did NOT wash their hands prior to touching me.

A side note: I ‘intentionally’ didn’t ask anyone to wash their hands before touching me because I planned to slather myself with my Thieves sanitizer after anyone touched me and I wanted to see how many would actually wash their hands without my asking. However, I HIGHLY recommend that you do not do this and always ask doctors, nurses, and ALL hospital staff to thoroughly wash their hands in front of you before they touch you – if they have MRSA on your hands or if you touch someone of something that has MRSA on it you can become infected.

After leaving the Emergency Room, but before opening the door of our car, Curt and I again paused to do our dabs of Thieves hand sanitizer – didn’t want to risk getting any cooties on the surfaces of the car.

As a general rule, I always carry a bottle of Thieves Waterless Hand Sanitizer in my purse, and keep one in the car – both have several drops of lemongrass added. We apply a dab prior to getting out of the car, particularly so when we will be touching things that many others have touched – like gas pump handles, door handles, shopping carts (which are extremely filthy! I do NOT recommend putting your purse, food or items in the child seat of the carts as they are loaded with bacteria, urine, and feces – studies have shown).

MRSA never really goes away once you acquire it and it can affect the rest of ones life on many levels. I’ve read some extremely sad stories about how people have been treated like lepers, lost their jobs, have been ostracized by their neighbors, etc. – I personally prefer to look like I might have a phobia than to risk having changes like that for the rest of my life.

What I would do if I were in a Nursing Home or staying in a Hospital

You better believe I would bring my Young Living Nebulizer Essential Oil Diffuser, a bottle of R.C. and a bottle of Lemongrass – and – my Thieves Hand Sanitizer (with several drops of either lemongrass or R.C. added to it). I would also bring these items in to these places if a loved one were there and leave them for that individualal to use as needed.

Fabrics Harbor MRSA (studies show)

To address this, I would use my Thieves Household Cleaner in the laundry (one capful per load in place of laundry detergent) and I would add a few drops of lemongrass to the load.

If MRSA were in My Home

If I were in a situation where MRSA were in my home or on people living in my home – I would do ALL of the above regularly.

Normally, I regularly diffuse my oils, use Thieves Household Cleaner for all of our laundry, and only use my Young Living oils to clean my house and surfaces.

Alternative Medicine Concepts

September 24, 2009 in Alternative Therapies, Best Essential Oils, Cleansing, Essential Oils, Lifestyle, Natural Health, Professional Wellness Products, Wellness, Young Living Distributor, Young Living Essential Oils by Tammy Baile | No comments

application-temples-using-men Some people claim that they tried alternative medicine before and that it doesn’t work because they did not get the results they were looking for. To me, this is the epitome of tunnel vision! To base ones viewpoint solely on their own experience can be creating a very flawed viewpoint because one person’s experience is small compared to the world at large! Take the medical field for instance; for years and years there was “no such thing” as natural healing and anyone proclaiming it was a quack. If someone was healed by natural methods they would say it had nothing to do with the natural methods and that it was simply a miracle. Things are changing though, and concepts common knowledge to herbalists and naturopaths 20-30-and 40 years ago are are getting scientific recognition and proof. Doctors with no knowledge of alternative medicine are decreasing. I maintain that people or groups working together with love can accomplish more then any one person (or group) ever could. I believe there are those in the medical field who are beginning to feel this way too, and that the numbers will continue to grow. Read the rest of this entry »

Flu Season Has Hit

September 23, 2009 in Alternative Therapies, Antioxidant, Aromatherapy, Buy / Purchase, Chemicals / Toxic, Cold / Flu, Diffusing, Foaming Hand Soap, Immune System, NingXia Red Juice, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil, Thieves, Young Living Distributor, Young Living Essential Oils by Jonell Elder | No comments

Flu season has hit already in some Washington colleges. The pharmaceutical companies are pushing the flu shots as they do each and every year. I’m pushing to prepare our selves and to protect our selves not only during the flu season but all year round.

I have been involved with Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ (YLTG) essential oils since 1996 and I am continually learning all the time. I can very happily and proudly say that I have NOT been sick with the flu for many years. I really can’t remember the last time I was sick with the flu but I know it has been more then 10 years. I do NOT get a flu shot every year. Instead I take preventative medicine seriously. thieves-autoship-pack-cleaner

I always have on hand all of our Thieves products. Why you may ask. Quite simply because I know that by using Thieves, which is blend of highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-infectious essential oils I am protected from viruses, bacteria and germs.

No Chemicals – No Toxins

Thieves Waterless Hand Sanitizer - cleanses, protects and does not dry your skin. Plus it does not have the bad ingredients that are in other commercial hand sanitizers. It IS free of toxins and chemicals. It comes in a very convenient size that fits nicely in your purse or pocket. It does not take up much space and is good to have on hand where ever you are. Have you ever paid attention to when you are at the doctors office to see if people are washing there hands? I religiously use our sanitizer while at the doctors office. And of course it is excellent to have on hand (haha) to apply after using a public restroom. It is even good to have with you when shopping to clean the handles of shopping carts. In my opinion our children should have Thieves Waterless Hand Sanitizer with them at school.
Thieves Spray works in the same way. It is a matter of choice. Thieves spray also comes in handy should you get a cut. All you need do is spray it on the cut.
Thieves Foaming Hand Soap is at every sink in my home. Cleans and protects your hands and your hands feel very soft afterwards.
Thieves Household Cleaner is very concentrated. I put a cupful in a 16 ounce container and keep it handy at my kitchen sink to spray my counters, chopping blocks, sink and even my fruit and vegetables, which I rinse after spraying.
Thieves Essential Oil is huge too have on hand. I diffuse it often and most specifically if I have been around anyone that has a “bug”, or if I feel a bit off with how I am feeling. I also keep an inhaler in my car that I have put Thieves oil on, to have the added benefit of Thieves with me while on the road. If by chance I feel a slight bit of a sore throat I do 2 things, one would be to apply 2-4 drops of Thieves with V-6 or a carrier oil onto my throat and chest. Then I would take:
Inner Defense 1 capsule in the morning if I have any signs of change to my health, like a “drippy” nose. For me that is all I need to do and the drippy nose does not progress into something worse.
NingXia Red does not have Thieves in it but I drink one to two ounces every day to help to strengthen my immune system and to fight the free radicals we are constantly being bombarded with.

All of the above is what I do to protect myself from the flu season. I have only had one flu shot in my entire life and that was in 1980. If you are wanting to protect yourself and loved ones please think about our Thieves products and NingXia Red. If you have any questions please let me know and you can click contact me and I will get back to you soon. Let the battle begin against the annual flu season.

If you were driving down the road, and your “Check oil” light came on, what would you do? Would you have your car serviced, or would you jump out of the car, run and open the hood, and cut the lines to the check oil light? Cutting the lines would certainly get rid of the check oil light problem, but you would not be getting rid of the real problem, and you certainly would not make it very far down the road! Unfortunately, and to our detriment, this is what we do to our bodies when we take pharmaceutical drugs for health issues. Pharmaceutical drugs are similar to putting a band-aid over serious health problems. Whereas they can be life savers in some instances, drugs do not heal, and they do not remove the underlying problem, or cause of the problem. Like a silent time bomb, the cause of the problems are still there.

In addition to this, drugs have a very low frequency (energy), as opposed to herbs and fresh raw fruits and veggies. Herbs, raw fruits and vegetables generally all have a higher frequency, around what our bodies are (a healthy body is around 62 to 70 megahertz). Therapeutic grade Essential oils have quite high frequencies, many around 100 and some up to 300! At the Eastern State University in Cheny, Washington in 1992, studies conducted discovered that the average, daytime frequency of the human body is 62-68 MHZ. At frequencies lower then this the immune system is compromised. Cold and flu symptoms tend to appear at 58 MHZ and at 55 MHZ, diseases like candida can take set in. At 52 MHZ, one might contract Epstein-Barr, at 42 MHZ, cancer is a possibility. So in other words when you put things in your body with low to no frequency, it decreases your megahertz, and when you put things in your body with high MHZ, your MHZ is increased.

To compound the problem; substances we bring into the body with low or no frequencies have a very hard time getting back out. Usually the body cannot rid itself of things like drug residues without serious cleansing. Many health authorities teach that these drugs will go to the weakest areas of the body (be it the brain, liver, heart, and so on), and that they further weaken by further lowering that areas frequency. At the School of Natural Healing, it is taught that simple headache pain relievers for example can get past the blood brain barrier. The problem is, the part of the drug that makes it possible to get past this barrier is basically “used up” as it goes in, and therefore has no way of getting back out. Henceforth it is contained and stored in the brain. Considering all of this, I would much rather stick to God’s Pharmacy and create a lifestyle of taking care of my body! They not only suit me and many others just fine, BUT THEY WORK!

Switching to a Healthier Lifestyle

September 22, 2009 in Chemicals / Toxic, Digestion, Edible Toothpaste/Dental Care, Family Health, Fish Oil, Fluoride-Free, Hair Care, Laundry, Lavender, Lifestyle, Multivitamin, Natural Household / Cleaning, Probiotic, Thieves, Young Living Distributor by Jonell Elder | No comments

When I am meeting with or talking to people about Young Living Essential Oils, what I like to express to them is the importance of switching to a healthier lifestyle and how to make this transition in their lives. What I point out to them is how many of us read the “ingredients” on food products, which is a good thing to do, but that many people do not think about doing the same thing before they purchase personal care products, nutritional products, pet care products or household cleaning products. All of which can be loaded with chemicals and toxins and not what we should be putting on or in our bodies.

Young Living has all the products you need to make a healthier lifestyle change. All of our products are enhanced with Young Living Therapeutic Grade^TM (YLTG) essential oils. It is such a good feeling when you are using our shampoos, conditioners, soaps and lotions, to know that your skin is being softened and your scalp and hair is being cleaned and conditioned with a natural product that does NOT have chemicals or toxins.

Our mouths are the germiest part of our body and it is important to keep our teeth and gums healthy. Brushing your teeth with Thieves Toothpaste not only cleanse them well, but because of the essential oil blend of Thieves in the toothpaste, you get the added benefit of naturally killing the germs. Plus it is fluoride free. Finalize your step to a healthier mouth with Thieves Fresh Essence Plus Mouthwash.

Thieves product line.

Wouldn’t you like to have ONE household cleaning product that can do all the cleaning in your home AND to be safe while cleaning. Not to have to wear gloves or a face mask while cleaning and to be happily free of toxins and chemicals? Look no further because Young Living has the perfect natural product; Thieves Household Cleaner.

The most economical way to get products is to be on the Essential Rewards monthly ordering plan. And if one wants to save even more to purchase our Thieves products, we have a Thieves kit with all the products included and you get more savings.
