Do you know someone who has chronic bad breath or halitosis? Or do you sometimes feel your breath may be offensive?

There are plenty of causes of bad breath and the most effective way to prevent bad breath is by maintaining good oral hygiene

  • Brush your teeth twice daily: Brush your teeth twice a day to avoid majority of the dental problems.
  • Use a Dental Floss: Flossing cleans the areas that are harder for a toothbrush to reach. It removes the food debris and plaque accumulated between the teeth. Flossing twice daily is preferable
  • Use of Mouth Washes: That may kill the bacterial plaque known to cause bad breath, tooth decay and gingivitis. Use a mouthwash AFTER BRUSHING.
  • Eating right: Maintain a balanced diet but reduce the consumption of foods containing sugars or starch.
  • Regular visits to your Dentist: Regular visits to your dentist to diagnose any oral concerns early. Most oral health problems do not produce any symptoms till they have progressed to a later stage.

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

Essential oil on a Lavender plant, close-up.For the past 440 million years plants have been evolving, existing and changing for the benefit of survival of their species. The aromatic plants in particular have been providing themselves and humanity with the basic materials and compounds required for daily life, protection, wellness and healing. It’s no freak of nature that humans used plants for food and medicine, plants were humankind’s first medicine.

The image to the left is the surface of a Lavender plant magnified many times. The purple colored ball-shape parts are the essential oil. Microscopic in size and extremely delicate, it’s easier to comprehend ‘how’ these tiny aromatic gems can easily be ruined through mishandling by humans.

Have you’ve ever been in a home or shop where fresh herbs have been hung to dry and have marvelled at the scent upon walking into the space? If yes, know that what you’re smelling is the essential oil that has left the plant surface and is going into the air. That also means that all of the essential oil that you are smelling in the air, is no longer on the plant surface or in the plant. It is estimated that a dried herb looses 90-95 percent of its essential oil when dried. This explains why so much herb needs to be used or taken over many weeks or months to provide a healing benefit to humans. Read the rest of this entry »

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

Peppermint essential oilPeppermint has a strong, clean, fresh, minty aroma. One of the oldest and most highly regarded herbs for soothing digestion, it may also restore digestive efficiency.* Jean Valnet MD studied peppermint’s supportive effect on the liver and respiratory systems. Other scientists have also researched peppermint’s role in improving taste and smell when inhaled. Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati studied peppermint’s ability to improve concentration and mental sharpness. Alan Hirsch MD studied peppermint’s ability to directly affect the brain’s satiety center, which triggers a sensation of fullness after meals. This powerful essential oil is often diluted with a carrier oil, such as V-6 Massage Oil, before topical application. Peppermint may also be used to enhance the flavor of food and water.

Peppermint essential oil is an energizing oil with a penetrating, minty aroma that helps to relieve both mental and physical fatigue. Use it in the daytime, as its energizing effect may keep you awake at night.

34 Tips for Using Peppermint Essential Oil:

  1. Curb Appetite: Alan Hirsch, M.D., studied peppermints ability to directly affect the brains satiety center, which triggers a sense of fullness after meals. Inhale the fragrance (directly from the bottle) to curb appetite and lessen the impulse to overeat.
  2. Upset Tummy: Rub 2 drops over stomach/ around navel with 1 teaspoon V-6 Massage Oil (a carrier oil), this may help to relieve indigestion, flatulence, and diarrhea.*
  3. Keep Mice Out of Your Car: Peppermint essential oil is fantastic to have in your antique or “summer” car to keep the mice out. Smells much better than the commonly used remedy of Mothballs. Take a few cotton balls and place several drops of Peppermint oil on them and leave cotton balls in the car; you may want to refresh the cotton balls once every month or two.  Read the rest of this entry »

“Research by Jean Valnet, M.D., showed that vaporized lemon oil can kill meningococcus bacteria in 15 minutes, typhoid bacilli in one hour, Staphylococcus aureus in two hours, and Pneumococcus bacteria within three hours. Even a 0.2% solution of lemon oil can kill diphtheria bacteria in 20 minutes and inactivate tuberculosis bacteria. Lemon oil has been widely used in skin care to cleanse skin and reduce wrinkles and combat acne. Lemon has shown to have antidepressant effects in research done by Komori, et al., 1995.”

Jean Valnet MD estimated that it takes 3,000 lemons to produce one kilo of lemon essential oil – use it sparingly when flavoring beverages or foods. In his book, “The Practice of Aromatherapy”, Valnet wrote that lemon is a tonic for supporting the nervous and sympathetic nervous system.*

University researchers in Japan found that diffusing certain aromas in an office environment dramatically improved mental accuracy and concentration. Diffused lemon resulted in 54 percent fewer errors. Diffuse for 10 minutes ever hour.

Lemon (Citrus limon) has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that have been studied for their effects on immune function. It may serve as an insect repellent and may be beneficial for the skin.

Essential oils have been here on earth since the beginning of time and we are very fortunate to have them available for those seeking natural solutions to daily life. Young Living’s 100% pure, organic essential oils have many uses and I hope you enjoy reading and learning how to use Lemon oil.

Head and Face MassageMassage 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.

When working on a large area, such as the back or in a full body massage, mix 4-6 drops of the selected essential oil with 1 TBSP V-6 Massage Oil (a fine carrier). Keep in mind that some massage oils/carrier oils can stain some fabrics, V-6 will not.

Topical application of these specific oils to various areas of the body brings balance and harmony while fostering a truly holistic wellness experience.

Acupressure, Reflexology, Vita Flex

When performing an acupressure treatment, apply 1 drop of essential oil to the acupressure point with finger. Using an auricular probe with a slender point to dispense the oil can enhance the application. Start by pressing firmly and then releasing. Avoid applying pressure to any particular pressure for too long. You may continue along the pressure points and meridians, or use the reflexology or Vita Flex points as well. Once you have completed the small point stimulation, massage the general area with the essential oil.

Layering

This technique consists of applying multiple oils one at a time, one at a time. For example, place a couple drops of marjoram over a sore muscle, massage it into the tissue gently until the area is dry, and then apply a second oil, such as peppermint (a couple drops), until the oil is absorbed and the skin is dry. Then layer on the third oil, such as basil (a couple drops), and continue massaging. Have your V-6 handy to use as your carrier oil to dilute your essential oils. If you’re new to Young Living essential oils, allow enough time (3-5 minutes) for the body to respond before applying a second oil, apply V-6 with each essential oil as a carrier oil.
