‘It’s not unusual to be loved by anyone?” Why these words popped into my thoughts when I began this article, I don’t know, but love is one way one can have anxiety and Tom Jones’ song, “It’s Not Unusual” does reflect in it’s lyrics how love can cause anxiety.

Better to not have anxiety, but most likely in our lives and any love situation, anxiety does come about. Be it from, jealousy, dishonesty, health issues, financial, children, or family circumstances.

There are many different ways to help with our anxiety and to feel better, and I am only going to be touching on how Young Living essential oils may help you to feel relief from the anxious feeling you encounter in life. Great news too, these essential oils not only may help you and others, but also any anxious pets you may have, they are undoubtedly pure and medicinal. One little bottle will last for an insane amount of years.

Listen up hear, it is extremely important that you come to understand quality is tremendously important when using essential oils. Why? Because if they aren’t quality, than they won’t give you good results and could be harmful. Off topic, but you to need to know. Read the rest of this entry »

Essential Oils A-Z-Animal Care

April 5, 2011 in Allergies, Alternative Therapies, Anxiety, Application, Blends, Calming, Carrier Oils, Chemicals / Toxic, Diffusing, Digestion, How do I use, Natural, NingXia Red Juice, Pets, Safe Use, Sulfurzyme by Jonell Elder | No comments

If you are a pet owner, you undoubtedly are very fond of your pets and want to take care of them as best as you can. For our selves we most likely try to eat healthy and stay away from harmful products as much as possible, along with hopefully choosing smarter and healthier ways to treat illness or injuries. Of course we want the same for our loved pets.

Have you ever wondered why pets eat grass? Perhaps you understand this is their way of settling their stomachs. Animals enjoy plants and these plants have all the nutrients of essential oils, but in very small quantities. So if you think about this, you may come to the assumption that essential oils would be as good for our pets, as they are for us. You are absolutely correct. As long as you are using quality essential oils and understand how to administer them to your pets. Why? Because quality essential oils are very powerful and a little bit goes a LONG way.

You may also be aware of foot reflexology and how the bottoms of our feet are connected to our body. Well our pet’s feet work somewhat the same way.

There is a wonderful brochure: Oils & Pets, by Dr. Mary Hess, which can be purchased through CrownDiamondTools.com. You will be able to see the foot chart for animals and what oils are recommended for various ailments.

March 22, 2011 in Air Freshener, Allergies, Alternative Therapies, Application, Aromatherapy, Blends, Body Lotion, Carrier Oils, Chemicals / Toxic, Congestion / Respiratory, Edible Toothpaste/Dental Care, Family Health, Fluoride-Free, Fungus, Safe Use by Jonell Elder | No comments

Allergies are no fun and when you are having symptoms you want them to go away as quickly as possible. An allergy can be triggered by food, pollen, fungus, mold, environmental chemicals, dander, dust, grass clippings or insect bites.

You may want to give these ideas a try;

Put 1 to 2 drops of Lavender essential oil on the palm of your hands, rub your hands together, and then wipe your hands on your face, neck, and arms, and anything not covered.
Put 1 to 2 drops of Lavender on the palm of your hand and now massage onto the bottoms of your feet.
Put 1 drop of Peppermint on the palm of your hand and cup your hands over your nose and take several nice long deep inhalations. (Be mindful to not touch your face with your hands, just cup your hands about an inch away from your nose and face.)

A fresh smelling environment is so much better than a stale or stinky environment. Wouldn’t you like to know that when you choose to “clean” up the smell in your surroundings that you were breathing in natural scents, rather than scents that are full of toxins and chemicals? There is a way to freshen the air naturally, and to be safe for you breath and to be be Eco-friendly for the environment.

Using Young Living’s therapeutic grade essential oils in your home environment is a way to add oxygen and cut down on overgrowth of unwanted microbes such as fungus (mold and mildew), pathogenic viruses, and bacteria.

The best way to address unwanted things in your air is by using a cold-air nebulizer diffuser and therapeutic-grade Young Living essential oils undiluted. (Read more about diffusing)

A cold-air nebulizer diffuser puts a micro-fine mist of the essential oil into the air and allows the mist to permeate your room(s). Only cool air is used and recommended. Never use heat – such as a candle, burner, or a light bulb ring on your therapeutic oils. Heat destroys the therapeutic qualities of the essential oil – heat fractures the molecules.

Therapeutic-grade essential oils also have well-documented antiviral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties – to further improve indoor air quality.

Essential Oils and the Seasons

During different times of the year certain scents benefit us emotionally, as well as, addressing issues that can occur more frequently during each season. Read the rest of this entry »

Essential Oil Uses A-Z-ADHD and ADD

March 15, 2011 in Alternative Therapies, Anxiety, Application, Aromatherapy, Blends, Calming, Chemicals / Toxic, Diffusing, Family Health, Kids, Lavender, Natural Health, Nutrition / Diet, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil, Using Essential Oils, Young Living Essential Oils by Jonell Elder | No comments

Treating ADD/ADHD with Essential Oils.

Today, research has found that there is a natural alternative to treat ADD and ADHD symptoms. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most frequently diagnosed disorders in young children and teenagers. Several million children are treated for ADHD; some classrooms report 30% of students have this illness.

The symptoms:

Inattention – Shorter than usual attention span and can be easily distracted
Impulsivity – Not being able to control impulses
Hyperactivity – Periodic over activity

The common treatment for ADHD is the drug Ritalin. Unfortunately, Ritalin simply controls the symptoms in only 70% of the cases, but does not cure the condition. In addition, Ritalin produces side effects, at times serious and sometimes permanent. Read the rest of this entry »

Essential Oil Uses A-Z-Acne and Age Spots

March 12, 2011 in Acne, Alternative Therapies, Application, Body Lotion, Carrier Oils, Chemicals / Toxic, Cleansing, Lemongrass, Natural Health, pH, Skin Care, Tea Tree / Melaleuca, Wrinkles by Jonell Elder | No comments

In the next several weeks I will be writing articles on the many, many ways essential oils may be used for physical, mental, spiritual, emotional well-being, for ourselves, those around us, our animals, and also for keeping our homes clean and us safe, by using non toxic chemicals.

So let me get started.

Acne

Our skin is our armor and the largest absorbent organ of the body. Protecting the skin environment is essential. Many chemical molecules are too large to be absorbed and lay on the surface of the skin, causing irritation, resulting in rashes, itching, blemishes, flaky and dry skin, dandruff, and allergies.

Essential oils are soluble through lipids in the skin and are easily absorbed. Many skin conditions may be related to dysfunctions of the liver. It may be necessary to cleanse, stimulate, and condition the liver and colon for 30 to 90 days before the skin begins to improve.

Acne results from an excess accumulation of dirt and sebum around the hair follicle and the pores of the skin. This accumulation may be due to an over-production of sebum, an oily substance that is secreted by the sebaceous glands in the hair follicles. As the pores and hair follicles become congested, bacteria begins to feed on the sebum. This leads to inflammation and infection around the hair follicle and the formation of a pimple or a puss-filled blackhead.

One of the most common forms of acne, Acne vulgaris, occurs primarily in adolescents due to hormone imbalances, which stimulate the creation of sebum.

Acne in adults can be also be caused by hormone balances, as well as use of chlorinated compounds, endocrine system imbalances, or poor dietary practices. Heavy or greasy makeup can also contribute to acne.

Essential Oils, Mysterious and Miraculous Part 2

March 9, 2011 in Allergies, Application, Aromatherapy Perfume, Bath / Shower, Best Essential Oils, Chemicals / Toxic, First Aid tips, Pregnancy, Quality / Pure, Utah Farm by Jonell Elder | No comments

This article is a continuation from Essential Oils, Mysterious and Miraculous Part 1

For me essential oils are a miracle in so many ways in my daily life and the life of my loved ones. I believe in their healing qualities and I am in awe when I experience and see amazing results, from one being relieved of sleep loss, relief from hot flashes, depression, stress and anxiety, aches and pain, healing of burns and wounds, allergies and head ache relief and even elimination of medications. And all because of the use of what our Creator has provided us with from the beginning of time, plant life which processes life sustaining qualities in the essential oils they have been blessed with. These precious oils are at our fingertips, should one venture into discovering the healing potential that exists through them.

Before you do begin your journey, it is extremely important to know where your essential oils come from to be assured of their purest and most therapeutic-grade value. All essential oils are NOT created equal. Most essential oils are of lower quality. Learn why quality is so important. Many other essential oils on the market contain chemicals that make them unsafe to ingest, or apply on skin, or to inhale.

Young Living Essential Oils has a “Seed to Seal” process.

Seed to Seal

Strict attention to detail—from the seeds sown to the plants harvested—ensures that the oils you obtain from Young Living are the purest, most potent essential oils available. This precise, detailed method is known as the Seed to Seal process. Read the rest of this entry »
