January 2012

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for January 2012.

Air fresheners are a huge business. We all want our homes, cars and workplaces to smell fresh and clean, vibrant or relaxing. So, when we’re shopping and smell a fragrance like vanilla, or one that reminds us of our childhood home or garden, instinctively we reach for it and put it in our cart, because the smell made us happy, or maybe relaxed. Not once do we stop to read the list of ingredients in that scented candle or spray air freshener. After all, if it says “vanilla” or “lavender”, we expect we are in fact smelling real vanilla or lavender.

Sadly, nothing could be farther from the truth.

If you are not using pure essential oils, like Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils to freshen up your room, by default you are using a synthetic air freshener, and, unbeknownst to you, you are inadvertently putting your health at risk from one of these very concentrated sources of poisons in your home. This is because some of the chemicals needed to make the products effective are harmful. The problems are compounded when the products are mixed. Far from freshening the air in your home, they just interfere with your ability to detect smells or simply cover them up, all the while adding considerable toxic chemical indoor pollution. http://www.mcs-america.org/airfresh.pdf. In 2002, EPA researchers testing air freshening units that plug into electrical sockets determined that when the fragrance chemicals in these products react with common indoor air pollutants they produce serious health hazards. These chemicals include toxic substances such as benzene derivatives, pinene and limonene, aldehydes, phenol, and cresol.

Thieves Essential Oil, Household Cleaner and Product Line ~ A truely Green non toxic chemical free pet and child safe cleaner.

Young Living has an entire product line dedicated to their Thieves Essential Oil Blend. 3 of the products are edible! Edible toothpaste, mouthwash and Essential oil.

The cost to dilute the concentrated household cleaner can literally cost pennies, and the outstanding health and wellness benefits are unmatched by any other product to date. Thieves Oil can safely be taken internally, used around and on pets and children, diffused, topically applied, and diluted to make every possible cleaning product currently on the market except for glass cleaner without streaks. You can use it on glass, like shower doors with lime scale build up, and it will clean those doors, however, you will need to use a made for glass cleaner to make the glass or mirrors shine.

In the September/October edition of Mothering magazine, Candace Walsh featured the Thieves^® blend of essential oils in her “Strokes of Genius” article highlighting helpful products to try during pregnancy.” Another essential-oil goodie: Young Living’s Thieves, a blend of cloves, rosemary, and more that protects the wearer from most airborne bacteria .”

Before I get into this article, I’d like to remind everyone that our skin is an organ, and it is the largest organ in our body. Additionally, a great portion, 83%, of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our bodies. This includes chemicals we spill on ourselves or put our hands into, etc.

You clean and you clean and you clean, every day, every weekend, because we have been taught that a clean home will help keep us healthy. Because we clean so thoroughly we believe that the cleaner our home is the healthier our home is, and therefore, we are.

Then, one day we overhear a snippet on the 6 o’clock news, and we realize that the different cleaners we’ve been using in our home are most likely toxic, cancer causing and hazardous to our health, the one thing we were trying to achieve!!!!

We, John Q. Public, believe that our government and Medical monitoring agencies have out best interest at heart, and will protect us and keep us safe from harm. Sadly, that it not the case many times. Many of the household cleaning products we use in homes are actually health hazards.

The sad but factual truth is that many ingredients in our everyday common household cleaning products that we trust to be safe are absolutely harmful to our health. As consumers why would we want such products around us, our families, especially our children, and our pets? I believe that this continues to occur because our monitoring and protective agencies bank on that fact that most consumers are not educated in, or aware of the hidden dangers and severe health issues, including cancer, that these popular household cleaning products present to our health. Additionally, most of us are not aware as to how pervasive, chronic, long term and life threatening these health threats are to our families and pets. Additionally, even if you do read the label, non food products do not have to list the chemicals they use in the processing to make the chemical that you are reading the label of!

Every day we strive to live a healthy, happy and balanced life, to do the right thing by our children and family because we care about our health and our world. Yet, right under our noses, Big Business is completely undermining our efforts to get and stay healthy by polluting our indoor air environment with toxic chemicals known to cause a multitude of health problems, including cancer. They trick us into thinking we are making a healthier choice by adding a key word to their product like “natural”, or an ingredient we perceive to mean it’s safe and healthy like “orange” or “lemon”, etc.

DON’T LET THEM FOOL YOU!

Adding Orange to poison still makes it poison.

Adding 1 “natural” ingredient to poison still makes it poison.

Here are some basic facts most people are not aware of:

FACT: Within 26 seconds after exposure to chemicals, in this case cleaning products , traces of these chemicals can be found in every organ in our body.

FACT: According to theAmericanCollegeof Medical Toxicology, use of household cleaners containing toxic chemicals should be discontinued whenever possible. Read the rest of this entry »

Are Young Living Oils ‘Organic’? Going Beyond Organic!

January 8, 2012 in Aromatherapy, Best Essential Oils, Chemicals / Toxic, Common Questions, Distillation, Eco-Friendly, Ecuador Farm, Education, Gary Young, Green, Inspirational, Lifestyle, Natural, News, Quality / Pure, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

Chris Packer, a Young Living farm manager, with Gary Young checking the worm grow beds to see the growth rate; the finished worm castings are mixed with compost for fertilizer and foliage feed for the plants grown on the Young Living farms, the plants that produce essential oils for us. This is just one sustainable and organic practice that makes Young Living a top quality organic operation. Young Living Farm Worm Casting Beds

Why something like worm beds and other practices are important to know is because over our lifetime what we do today greatly determines our health in the future, which can save money in health care costs. First, we need to know the nuts and bolts, what has changed, what’s being done, and what we can do about it. Here are some examples that can help us make better choices in selecting which company(s) produce foods and products that we can feel good about buying. Let’s start with something Dr. Mercola writes to bring things into perspective:

Dr. Mercola writes;

“[one example] is Stonyfield Farm yogurt, which abandoned its organic farm in New Hampshire long ago and now gets its milk in powdered form. Yes, you read that correctly:

Powdered milk exported from 9,000 miles away in New Zealand.

You can bet your bottom dollar making powder out of milk is one of the worst things you can to do to it after pasteurization. Nearly all of the biologic value of the milk is removed. Read the rest of this entry »

Aromatherapy: Lavender Bath & Shower Gel

January 4, 2012 in Aromatherapy, Bath / Shower, Beauty, Best Essential Oils, Home Spa, Lavender, Mind / Body / Soul, Natural, Relaxation, Skin Care, Women's Health, Young Living Distributor by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

Lavender Bath & Shower Gel Relax your body and rejuvenate your mind with a soothing bath of nature’s finest lavender essential oil in this bath & shower gel. All-natural ingredients work to refresh and condition your skin as you unwind from your busy day.

Lavender essential oil has been beloved and treasured for thousands of years as one of nature’s greatest gifts for healing. Recorded usage of lavender dates back to Biblical times where it was used for bathing as well as a key ingredient in many of the most effective remedies of that time.

Today, lavender essential oil is used in many skin care products, however, many companies dilute the oil, or use synthetically altered versions. The products in Young Living’s Lavender Signature Series contain only the finest Young Living Therapeutic Grade (YLTG) lavender essential oil, ensuring the maximum benefits of lavender oil are delivered.

The methods used to distill lavender essential oil thousands of years ago are the very same methods we use today to distill our superior quality essential oils.

Lavender for Emotional Wellness

University Miami researchers found that inhalation of lavender oil increased beta waves in the brain, suggesting heightened relaxation. It also reduced depression and improved cognitive performance (Diego et al., 1998).
A 2001 Osaka Kyoiku University study found that lavender reduced mental stress and increased alertness (Motomura et al., 2001).

How to Use Lavender Bath & Shower Gel

Pour directly into the water for a luxurious bubble bath, or drop a quarter-sized amount onto a bath sponge and lather. To continue your lavender experience, apply Young Living’s Lavender Body Lotion after your bath.
