Aria and TheraPro essential oil diffusers The benefits of diffusing Young Living therapeutic essential oils are many and varied. One thing for certain, it’s a win-win!

Essential oils kill pathogenic micro-organisms of all kinds.

World renowned medical researcher, Dr. Jean Valnet M.D., states that essential oils provide remarkable protection against viral infections ranging from shingles to influenza.

Private research, funded by Young Living Essential Oils. Inc. at Weber State University, successfully demonstrated specific essential oils diffused in a closed chamber killed every virus tested within minutes. Of 74 Young Living single essential oils tested, lemongrass, Roman chamomile, cinnamon, rose, valerian and yarrow scored the highest kill rates.

Specific Young Living blends of essential oils, like the Thieves blend demonstrated a 99.6% kill rate against airborne bacteria and scored high for its antiviral qualities and anti-fungal qualities.

Diffusing essential oils in the home or work place is one of the best ways to purify our environment. The anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and antiseptic properties of the oils, along with the negative ions and oxygenating molecules that are released when essential oils are diffused.

Cinnamon bark oil, oregano oil, and Thieves oil were all tested by Weber State University, and were shown to kill 100% of the airborne bacteria present when diffused into the atmosphere. (KID-Radio with Lance Richardson and Dr. Gary Young, ND, March 5, 1996).

By diffusing essential oils, or applying them topically to targeted areas of the body, therapeutic constituents reestablish balance where stress or mental discomfort has disrupted healthy emotional function.

Young Living Thieves Household Cleaner is an excellent, fantastic product. In our family, we use it all the time, just about every day. I’m so glad they created it, as I truely don’t know what my family would do without it.

That said, there are times we have run out of the Thieves cleaner without warning. This happened a few months ago. I sat there and said to myself, “Well now what am I supposed to do”. No way did I want to run to the store and buy any toxic chemical cleaning product. So, I cracked open all 3 of my Essential Oil Desk references and went to work. I came up with a blend that smells fantastic, and cleans even better. The best part of discovering this was…. I’ll NEVER EVER be without an organic all natural essential oil cleaner now. no matter what. And, every single time I use it to clean something, the next person who walks in my house ALWAYS says “what is that wonderful smell?”. Some of the oils used have positive uplifting emotional properties as well, so, I wonder if it actually makes me happier while I clean!

My cleaner is an Uplifting Household Multi Surface Cleaner, is a totally Non toxic, chemical free all natural, organic, therapeutic grade essential oil multi surface green cleaner. I’m calling it “Uplift”.

We all have to clean surfaces in our homes every day, multiple times per day. I personally can not stand the smell of most of the cleaners currently on the market, and I certainly can not stand reading their list of ingredients. Can you read and understand their list of ingredients? I can’t. Why not look some of them up and see for yourself exactly what chemicals are in the cleaning products you are using every day on your countertops, kitchen table, baby’s toys and food tray, etc.

We are surrounded by cancer causing chemicals everywhere, in the air we breath, the water we drink, the food we eat, and mostly in the products we use in our homes to clean. To the best of my knowledge, there is no cleaning product on the market that is safe to use around food. What does that tell you? It tells me a lot! If I can’t use it around food, then what’s the real deal if my hand is soaking wet with it from cleaning? After all, our skin is the largest organ we have, and 66% of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our bodies, so just how much of these toxic chemicals are we absorbing both through the skin on our hands, and through inhalation when we spray it? I don’t know how much, but I do know the correct answer is TOO MUCH!!

Using only 10 pure, organic, Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils, I have put together a totally non toxic green all natural household cleaner. This cleaner has anti bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, deodorizing, highly antimicrobial, mold reducing and disinfectant properties, and this cleaner is safe to use around food and children. It Cleanses and disinfects the air and neutralizes mildew, cigarette smoke, and any other disagreeable odors as you clean

It is safe to, quite literally soak your hands in it. It has an uplifting refreshing fragrance as well, and is safe to use around food.

I especially go crazy using it during cold and flu season, I spray a rag and wipe down the phone, TV clicker, etc.

I personally feel it cleans better then anything else I’ve ever used, and it cleans quickly and easily. Literally, spray and wipe. No scrubbing required. I clean everything from the kitchen counter, to the bathtub, with 1 swipe. I LOVE it.

It “tackles the tough jobs” without me having to resort to buying a toxic, chemical laden scrubbing bubbles type product, or whatever other chemical. I’m so happy!!

Additionally, a number of the oils used in this cleaning blend have positive emotional properties, like: helping to overcome mental fatigue and improves mental clarity and focus, it may be beneficial in helping to overcome fatigue and exhaustion after illness, uplifting, antidepressant, calming, relaxing, and balancing, both physically and emotionally. So, in a nut shell, you may actually feel better about cleaning while cleaning! How fun is that!!!

Why not give this non toxic, chemical free all natural, organic, therapeutic grade essential oil multi surface green cleaner a try. If it doesn’t become your absolute favorite cleaner, which would surprise me, what have you lost?

Remember to shake well and often, as the 10 different pure essential oils will separate from each other. If you have a very, very tough cleaning project, my suggestion would be to spray the area with the cleaner, wait 10 minutes to allow the essential oils to fully penetrate the stain, and then wipe clean.

Available at headandhoof.com in 16 ounce and 24 ounce size spray bottle.

Outside of Lavender, therapeutic-grade Lemon essential oil is perhaps one of the most versatile and useful oils to have around the home. Lemon oil can be used for everything from aromatherapy to flavoring water, to making your own uplifting bath salts to cleaning produce. Lemon oil has been widely used in skin care to cleanse skin and reduce wrinkles. It promotes clarity of thought and purpose, as well as health, healing, physical energy, and purification. Its fragrance is invigorating, enhancing, and warming. Lemon (Citrus limon) essential oil has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that have been studied for their effects on immune function. Lemon essential oil is cold-pressed from the rind.

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 oil resulted in 54 percent fewer errors! Diffuse for 10 minutes every hour. When aromas were diffused during test taking, scores increased by as much as 50 percent.

A 1995 Mie University study found that citrus fragrances boosted immunity, induced relaxation, and reduced depression.

Medical Properties of Lemon Essential Oil: Antitumoral, antiseptic, improves microcirculation, and immune stimulant (increases white blood cells), improves memory, relaxation. Rich in limonene, which has been extensively studied for its ability to combat tumor growth in over 50 clinical studies.

34 Amazing Ways To Use Lemon Essential Oil

To clean non-carpeted floors, add 1/4 cup of white vinegar to a bucket of water. Then add 5 – 10 drops of lemon, pine, or spruce essential oil. If the floor is especially dirty, add several drops of dish washing soap. This will clean even the dirtiest floor.
To make a carpet freshener, add 16 – 20 drops of essential oils to 1 cup of baking soda or borax powder. Mix ingredients together well and place in a covered container overnight so that the essential oil can be absorbed. Sprinkle over carpet then vacuum the powder up.
You may also put 3-7 drops of Lemon essential oil on a cotton ball and place it into a vacuum bag – doing this scents the air while vacuuming. If your vacuum collects the dirt into water, simply add a few drops into the water reservoir before vacuuming. This refreshes both the carpet and acts as an air freshener.
Some essential oils can act as gentle stimulants to the limbic system of the brain by their scent, increasing alertness and concentration enhancing the capacity for learning, improving memory, and assisting many other cognitive functions. A wide range of essential oils offer these benefits, such as: Lemon, Peppermint, Rosemary and Melissa. To help increase these functions simply inhale the chosen essential oil directly from the bottle or put a drop on a tissue and keep in your pocket for use throughout the day.
Use 1–2 drops to remove gum, oil, grease, grease spots, glue and adhesives, and crayon from most surfaces. Tip: try a test area before to make sure you won’t ruin any finishes.
Substitute lemon oil for lemon juice or lemon seasonings to flavor seafood, vegetables, beverages, and desserts. To use Lemon oil in place of the zest of “one” lemon – use 8 to 14 drops of Young Living Lemon essential oil. More on Cooking with Essential Oils.

Add a drop to your dishwasher before the wash cycle for spot-free dishes.
Lemon has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that have been studied for their effects on immune function. According Jean Valnet, M.D., the vaporized [diffused] essence of lemon 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. More on diffusers and diffusing.

Now more than ever, studies and testing have shown just how unhealthy common products we all use daily can have a negative impact on our mental and physical health. From asthma and allergies, to emotional imbalances and disease, time and again we hear how hazardous personal care and household cleaning products are destroying our health and our environment.

TV commercials and advertisements bombard us with all sorts of claims that we want to hear, most of the time the claims are far from the truth. Big companies and shareholder’s have one concern, making as much profit as possible and keeping their costs down. While there is nothing wrong with making an honest living it’s quite another thing to change the names and an ingredient is disguised. No matter how harmful the research turns out to be people are still confused about which products are truly safe.

I discovered Young Living in 1998 and immediately fell in love with their essential oils and essential oil enhanced products. A couple of things I liked most are: they are super quality, they never compromise and use cheap and harmful ingredients, and the products are so concentrated that I only need to use a small amount. How this benefits me is that I’m getting a lot for my money, and I’m not putting unnecessary toxins in my body.

There are three things to keep in mind…

When you use plant-based, biodegradable ingredients, your products have zero impact on the environment.
All of the ingredients in Young Living Signature Seal personal-care products are derived from actual botanicals, not synthesized in a lab to model nature.
Young Living does not use any ingredients that modern research has shown to have suspected health risks. This includes parabens, sulfates, and other toxins commonly found in personal-care products.

Where to start and what to switch over to… Read the rest of this entry »
