Aromatherapy: for the Chakras

December 27, 2011 in Alternative Therapies, Application, Aromatherapy, Chakra, Common Questions, Inspirational, Intuition, Meditation, Mind / Body / Soul, Spirituality, Vibrational Frequency, Wellness, Young Living Distributor by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

Chakras are spinning vortexes of energy, which both take in and emit life-force energy. There are eight main chakras down the centerline of the body, from the top of the head to the bottom of the torso. When all chakras are spinning evenly and in concert with one another, the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual systems of the body are in balance. Therapeutic-grade essential oils are excellent for balancing and blending the chakras.

The following is a basic reference on how to use essential oils for activating and balancing the energy centers – chakras – of the body. Chakra color chart

You may find an eBook I wrote with David Zarza, C.Ht. to be useful in addressing the Chakras, Working with Emotions: Aromatherapy and Your Shadow.

First Earth: The Root (or Base) Chakra

Essential Oil Blends: Valor®, or Abundance™

Apply topically to the bottoms of the feet and sacrum.

The root (or base) chakra is the first and most important chakra for yoga or any kind of healing work. The key words here are courage, security, safety, grounding, and boundaries.

Second Water: The Sacral Chakra

Essential Oil Blends: Peace & Calming®, or Harmony™

Apply topically below the navel.

The sacral chakra is the center of your creativity, desire, emotion, sexuality, and intuition. This is where you learn how to give and receive pleasure.

Third Fire: The Solar Plexus Chakra

Essential Oil Blends: Harmony™, or En-R-Gee™

Fourth Air: The Heart Chakra

Apply topically to the posterior neck and the base of the occiput (the back part of the head or skull).

The throat chakra is the center of communication, sound, and expression of creativity via thought, speech, and writing.

Sixth Light: Third Eye Chakra

Essential Oils: Frankincense, or Peppermint

The crown chakra is the center of spirituality, enlightenment, dynamic thought, and energy. The keyword is inspiration. This is the connecting link to your highest and finest self.

Info on Aromatherapy and Essential Oils

December 14, 2011 in Alternative Therapies, Application, Aromatherapy, Common Questions, Diffusing, Education, Lifestyle, Men's Health, Mind / Body / Soul, Natural Health, Quality / Pure, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil, Using Essential Oils, Wellness, Women's Health, Young Living Distributor by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

Aromatherapy is the inhalation of plant oils, called essential oils. The simple act of breathing, inhaling, the scent of therapeutic-grade essential oil can be for such purposes as; improved physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Essential oils are the pure essence of the plant—often referred to as nature’s living energy—and can provide both psychological and physical benefits when used correctly. Essential oils can be used on their own for aromatherapy or with complementary natural ingredients, such as vegetable or a carrier oil when applied to the skin.

The Science of Aromatherapy

When a Young Living essential oil is diffused, it’s inhaled and processed through the olfactory system, which then sends the therapeutic benefits of the aroma to the brain. Depending on the specific constituents in the essential oil, you may begin to feel the release of negative emotions, the soothing of undue muscle tension, or experience the cleansing effect of the oils as your body eliminates toxins. More on Olfactory.

Aromatherapy for Improved Health and Wellness

Aromatherapy is one of many ways you can enjoy the therapeutic benefits of essential oils. When practicing aromatherapy it’s vital that only pure, undiluted essential oils are used. Synthetic, perfume-grade products lack the necessary level of beneficial constituents and offer little or no positive effect.

Only by diffusing pure Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils can you create a proper mood, state of mind, or improve your physical well-being. More on distinguishing high quality from poor.

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.

I think it’s fair to say almost every single one of us has been told over the course of their lifetime, that something that ailed them was “inflammation:. But has anyone ever explained the process of inflammation? Most likely the answer is no.

They are many medications on the market, like Celebrex, naprosyn, and ones like Vioxx which have been pulled from the market due to sudden cardiac death and strokes. I personally took Celebrex and Vioxx in the past. ALL prescriptions on the market for inflammation come with these same side effects, even if you don’t hear about it often anymore. ALL OF THEM.

Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils DO NOT come with any of those side effects, and used properly, there is no risk of stroke or heart attack.

I suffer (suffered) from pain on a constant, chronic daily basis. I have 2 types of arthritis, systemic Lupus, Fibromyalgia, and many, many other illnesses, as well as a fused cervical spine and titanium shoulder. Taking 8 Vicodin a day did not do much to alleviate the pain. Many days I was in tears because I couldn’t get away from the pain. Then, there was the “acute” pain surprises on top of the chronic pain. One second my knee would be fine, the next second it would feel like someone was stabbing me in the knee. Some days, if it happened while I was driving the car, I would literally need to pull over because I was incapable of driving. After years of taking these anti inflammatory medications, which, by the way, did work to a minimal extent, I was introduced to Young Living Essential Oils, my savior!

I turned to my Young Living essential oils. I researched and experimented, and finally came up with a topically applied synergistic blend of 26 Young Living Essential Oils that I’m calling “Happy Cells”. (see why below). When it is applied, by the drop, to an acute or chronic area of pain, the pain is literally gone in less then 5 minutes at the most, more often within the minute. There are times the pain is gone within seconds.

I have tested this blend on neuropathy pain, acute injury pain, chronic old injury pain, arthritic pain, pulled and strained muscles and joints, diabetic neuropathy, and Fibromyalgia pain. It has worked immediately and completely on every single one. The only time it did not relieve the pain 100% was on my broken collarbone. To be honest, it relieved the pain by about 65%, however, I was continuing to use my arm and shoulder, it was NOT in a sling and swath, as I was concerned about getting a frozen shoulder again. So, in reality, if I had babied my arm and put it in a sling, I suspect my pain would’ve been completely relieved.

Although this blend may seem expensive, it is used by the drop, not by the ounce. I use 1-2 drops per area of pain, that’s it. So, in reality, the bottle will last a long time, it’s organic, chemical free, and, most importantly, IT WORKS! In reality you would be spending much more on the chemical laden products currently on the market that, on a good day, might relieve your pain by 50% at best for a very short period of time. Additionally, it has NO EXPIRATION DATE! It will be as potent 5 years from now as it is today. Also, you can not overdose on my topically applied product, as you can with some others. Documented deaths have been occurring since 2007 from BenGay http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/15/AR2007061500676.html, and other over the counter topical pain relievers: Please feel free to do your own research on deaths and Ben Gay, deaths and sports creams, etc.

Their Poisonous Ingredient

Menthol
Methyl salicylate

Where Found

Methyl salicylates and menthol are found in many over-the-counter pain-relieving creams.

Symptoms

Airways and lungs
- No breathing
- rapid breathing
- Shallow breathing
Eyes, ears, nose, and throat
- Eye irritation
- Loss of vision
- Ringing in the ears
- Throat swelling
Kidneys
- Kidney failure
Nervous system
- Dizziness
- Drowsiness
- Fever
- Hallucinations
Other (from eating the poison)
- Collapse
- convulsions
- Hyperactivity
Skin
- Rash (usually an allergic reaction)
- Mild burn (in extremely high doses)
Stomach and intestines
- Nausea
- Vomiting, possibly with blood

You will NOT experience ANY of these symptoms or problems with my product. It is 100% pure, organic unadulterated Therapeutic Grade Essential oils, for topical application only. If you have sensitive skin, I would then suggest trying 1 drop to see if your skin will react, and if it does, cut it with V6 or Olive Oil.

My formula should relieve pain 100% of the time on ALL types of pain. It works for a minimum of 4 hours, possibly all day, depending on the reason for the pain and if you’re still actively using that area (like me and my collarbone).

My blend was created after countless hours of research and trial and error, looking for oils that “potentiate” (boost) each other, so that the whole is more then its parts.

It’s applied topically, is safe for use on children and pets. I used it on my dog’s dislocated hip, my daughter’s multiple fractures, a friend’s diabetic peripheral neuropathy in his feet, my mom’s acute and chronic knee, a friend’s cancer bone pain, and ALL of my multiple acute and chronic injuries and illness pain.

I use a blend of 26 Young Living Organic Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils, that’s it. No chemicals, no baby oil, no “gel”, no petroleum jelly, no other cancer causing toxic ingredients like other topical pain products on the market. There are NO filler products at all. You are getting 100% pure organic essential oils, and nothing else. You can, if you choose, dilute this with a few drops of a carrier oil to extend your product, or you can ask me to do it for you. However, please remember that pure essential oils have NO expiration date, and anything you use to fill the product will have an expiration date.

I look forward to assisting you in becoming pain free, and living your life to the fullest in an organic natural toxic chemical free essential oil way!

Understanding Inflammation: Inflammation is an immune cellular defense process of what happens to any part of your body that is either acutely injured (a fall), or chronic (tennis elbow, carpel tunnel), or from an autoimmune disease (System Lupus, MS, etc.), or infection.

Inflammation is characterized by any number of symptoms, including:

Redness
Swollen joint that is warm to touch (not always warm)
Joint pain
Joint stiffness
Loss of joint function
Area of swelling along the bone or muscle
Pain is not always present

Inflammation MAY also be associated with general “flu-like” symptoms including:

Fever
Chills
Fatigue/loss of energy
Headaches
Loss of appetite
Muscle stiffness

These flu like symptoms are most often seen when there is an underlying chronic inflammatory process due to an auto-immune disease, not from an acute injury.

What causes the symptoms of inflammation?

When an injury to the body occurs for any reason, inflammation occurs. Chemicals from the body’s white blood cells are released into the blood or affected tissues in an attempt to rid the body of foreign substances created by the injury, and to repair tissue trauma. This release of chemicals increases the blood flow to the area and may result in redness and warmth. A chemical cascade effect takes place, with the immune system being “activated”, which calls white blood cells to the site to eat up the injured dead cells from the injury, while at the same time increasing blood flow to the injured site. Some of the chemicals cause leakage of fluid into the tissues, resulting in swelling. The cells move out of the vein and into the injured tissue, where they normally are not. The inflammatory process will likely stimulate nerves and cause pain, as will the swelling. Additionally, depending on the injury itself, the nerve may have been directly injured, which will cause pain. Once the white blood cells “eat” the injured and dead cells, they themselves start to release toxic enzymes into the tissue, which is a chemical signal for yet MORE cells to be called to the site. This response by the body will continue until the injury is repaired.

Pain is caused when ever a nerve is injured or inflammed by any disease process, or there is tissue damage. Nerves can be injured by being “pinched” between things, like a bone and disc, or “pinched: due to pressure from a swollen inflammed area. Pain can arise in any organ or system Because pain is subjective and intensly personal, sympathetic care and support is a very important part of pain relief. In addition to analgesic pain relievers, doctors SHOULD use a wide variety of tools and techniques to help alleviate the pain and find and treat the root cause of the pain. All too often we get a script for a pain killer without getting to the root cause of the problem, so we are only masking the pain, and not fixing the problem.

Young Living Essential Oils treat not only the pain, but decrease the inflammation from the site, helping you not only feel better quicker, but to get better quicker.

Please look for my anti-inflammatory pain blend in my store, http://headandhoof.com/.

I hope this blend will help you through your weekly aches and pains as much as it has helped me and my friends, because, let’s be honest, when you’re in pain it effects every part of you, including your mood and attitude, so, turn your frown upside down and buy some Happy Cell today.

I wanted to show you the value of the ‘Essential Oils Desk Reference’ – available at http://www.lifesciencepublishers.com The following is an excerpt demonstrating how this reference book is worth its weight in gold in terms of determining what to do and how to do it in regards to Young Living Essential Oils. This excerpt for the EODR is one of thousands that we refer to when using our Young Living Essential Oils. Tangerine essential oil

Edema (Ankle Swelling)

Swelling, particularly around the ankles, is noticeable when fluids accumulate in the tissue. This puffiness under the skin and around the ankles can be more apparent at the end of the day when fluids settle to the lowest part of the body. Also, a potassium deficiency can make swelling worse, so the first recourse is to increase potassium intake.

First Recommendations: Juniper, Tangerine, Geranium

Using Juniper essential oil helps flush the kidneys to better eliminate excess water.

Other Single Oils: German Chamomile, Wintergreen, Peppermint, Lavender, Grapefruit, Helichrysum

Other Blends: Aroma Life, EndoFlex, Di-Gize

Application Methods

Topical: Dilute 50:50 (one part essential oil to one part carrier oil, such as V-6), massage 3-5 drops into affected area 2-3 times daily.
Compress: cold, 1-2 times daily
Vita Flex: massage 1-3 drops on bladder Vita Flex point on foot
Ingestion: Capsule, 0 size, 2 times daily.

Morning and Evening Edema Regimen

Morning Blend:

10 drops Tangerine
10 drops Cypress

Evening blend:

8 drops Geranium
5 drops Cypress
5 drops Helichrysum or Grapefruit

Dilute each blend 60-40 (60 parts essential oil to 40 parts carrier oil, V-6) and rub 15-20 drops on legs working from the feet up to the thighs. Do this for one week.

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.
Combine 2–3 drops with water in a 4oz. spray bottle filled with water to help cleanse and sanitize kitchen and bathroom surfaces.
Soothe or prevent corns, callous, or bunions by rubbing 1-2 drops of Lemon oil on the affected area, morning and evening.*
Fill a bowl with cold water, add 2–3 drops of Lemon oil, and drench fruit and vegetables in the lemon water to extend the shelf life of fresh produce.
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.
Lemon has been shown to have antidepressant effects in research done by Komori, et al.,1995. Diffuse or inhale Lemon oil to receive the benefits of aromatherapy.
Lemon oil may help brighten a pale, dull complexion by removing the dead skin cells. Simply mix a drop with your cleanser to help promote healthier skin tone.

Heartburn is a burning pain felt behind the breastbone. It is most often the result of acid reflux, that is, when stomach acid rises up the esophagus where it irritates the lining. Lemon essential oil (which comes from the rind, not the pulp) is one of the best remedies for heartburn, as it causes the stomach to stop excreting digestive acids. Simply add a drop or two of Lemon oil to a small glass of water and drink.** More on AlkaLime, pH and Heartburn.
Relaxing & Rejuvenating Aromatherapy Bath Salt Recipe: 1 drop Grapefruit oil, 1 drop Lemon oil, 1 drop Orange oil, 1 drop Patchouli oil, 3 drops Ylang Ylang or Geranium oil, 1 cup Epsom Salts or Sea Salt. Add to running bath water. Soak for 20 minutes.

You can make a more watered down version for the kids. More on NingXia Red and Electrolyte Drinks.
Refreshing Bacteria Killing Spray: You’ll need - 32 oz. spray bottle, 8 drops Spearmint oil, 8 drops Lemon oil, 6 drops Lavender oil, 6 drops Thyme oil, 6 drops Rosemary oil, 4 drops Eucalyptus globulus, and water.

This mixture smells as terrific as it is powerful at killing germs.

* CAUTION: All citrus essential oils can cause photo-sensitivity when applied topically to skin that will be exposed to direct sunlight. Allow 24 hours for before exposing skin to direct sun.

** SPECIAL NOTE: Only use therapeutic-grade / food grade essential oils for flavoring foods and beverages, we only recommend Young Living Essential Oils as they are the best, unadulterated, and the most pure of the essential oils available on the market.

Sadly High Cholesterol has become a medical crisis in the USA, and now includes children as young as 3 years old. High Cholesterol creates a lengthy list of additional medical conditions, most of which have little to no outward signs, so it very easily becomes a silent killer. One day you feel fine, the next day you could be in the ER being told you need bypass surgery or a roto-ruter of your heart’s arteries. Many lifestyle choices we make every day contribute to our high cholesterol, however, it can also be genetically caused.

Part 3 of this series will focus on natural alternative choices you might want to consider adding to your daily regime as part of your lifestyle changes. This article is not intended to diagnose or treat any illness or disease, and is provided for informational purposes only.

SALT LAKE CITY—July 14, 2011—Researchers in Iran have conducted a clinical trial investigating the effects of sage leaf extract on hyperlipidemia. This condition consists of abnormally elevated levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol, triglycerides and other factors that can lead to cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of men and women in the United States with about 500,000 people dying from the disease each year.

The study demonstrated some exciting potential wellness benefits of sage, with participants’ triglycerides, LDL and total cholesterol dropping even as their HDL (good) cholesterol levels increased. HC 061151-427, Date: June 30, 2011

Hyperlipidemia (abnormally elevated blood lipids or lipoprotein—total and low-density lipoprotein [LDL] cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein [VLDL], triglycerides, and chylomicrons) can cause cardiovascular disease. Primary hyperlipidemia is caused by genetic mutations, and is divided into 3 categories: hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and combined hyperlipidemia (elevated total cholesterol and triglycerides, and decreased high-density lipoprotein [HDL] cholesterol). Alternative treatments are required because some patients are resistant to current treatments.

Sage, (Salvia officinalis) has antihyperlipidemic effects in vitro. There is only 1 pilot clinical study that evaluates lipid levels other than blood triglyceride and VLDL. Hence, the purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sage leaf extract in treating primary hyperlipidemia. Patients included in this study had total cholesterol levels = 240-300 mg/dL At baseline and at study end, blood was collected, and levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, VLDL, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, creatinine, and liver enzymes (serum glutamic-oxaloacetictransaminase [SGOT] and serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase [SGPT]) were measured.

At study end, sage treatment reduced total cholesterol by 19.6%, triglycerides by 22.8%, LDL by 19.7%, and VLDL by 13.3% compared with baseline.

Sage increased HDL levels by 20.2% compared with baseline. This effect was significantly different from placebo: There was no significant effect on SGOT, SGPT, and creatinine levels. The authors conclude that since sage had no significant effects on SGOT, SGPT, and creatinine, it would not produce liver or kidney toxicity. Sage leaves had favorable effects on a variety of lipids. Thus, sage leaves may be useful for treating hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia.

What does this study mean? In non medical speak, this study showed that 500 mg. of sage taken 3 times a day for 2 months DECREASED total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol by 19.6-22.2% in only 2 months! Additionally, HDH, good cholesterol was increased by 20.2%! On top of that, NO ILL EFFECTS occurred on the liver or kidneys! None!

The medical community and government are also studying the positive effects of Essential Oils on high cholesterol. Here are some of their governmental findings.

Lemongrass Essential oil lowers cholesterol. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21693164

Mint Essential Oil found to lower cholesterol: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20931070

Ginger Essential oil found to lower cholesterol: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21846199

Fish Oil found to lower cholesterol: University of Maryland: People who follow a Mediterranean-style diet tend to have higher HDL or “good” cholesterol levels, which help promote heart health. Inuit Eskimos, who get high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids from eating fatty fish, also tend to have increased HDL cholesterol and decreased triglycerides (fats in the blood). Several studies have shown that fish oil supplements reduce triglyceride levels. Finally, walnuts (which are rich in alpha linolenic acid or LNA, a type of omega-3 fatty acid) have been reported to lower total cholesterol and triglycerides in people with high cholesterol levels. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19416695

I could go on and on citing government studies, but you get the picture.

Lets move on to the pure, organic Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils and Products Young Living offers that address high cholesterol.

Omega Blue™ Product Summary:

Omega Blue is a clinically proven dose of omega-3 (EPA, DHA, ALA) fatty acid nutrients blended with Young Living’s therapeutic-grade Omega Enhance™ blend. Omega Enhance protects the omega-3 fats from oxidation while supplying the activity of the legendary blue (German) chamomile, myrrh, lemongrass, and clove essential oils.

Product Story

There are good fats and bad fats. Omega-3 essential fatty acids found in fish oil are among the best good fats. Volumes of research confirm that omega-3 fats reduce systemic-inflammation and support ardiovascular, joint, eye and brain health.* While eating more fish is one way to consume these essential fatty acids, it is important to note that fish is often polluted with mercury and other toxins. A great alternative to fish is to supplement daily with Omega Blue. Not only does this product provide a clinically proven dose of pure, un-concentrated fish oil, it is free from mercury and other toxins. In addition to high-quality fish oils, Omega Blue contains our proprietary Omega Enhance essential oil blend with legendary blue (German) chamomile and myrrh oil to support a healthy inflammatory response.* Lemongrass oil provides cardiovascular protection and supports healthy cholesterol levels, while clove and myrrh oil provide added antioxidant support.* The Omega Enhance blend strengthens omega-3 fats and makes Omega Blue at least ten times more stable than other fish oils. What’s more, a Precision Delivery coating triples omega- 3 absorption by releasing these stable, bioactive nutrients directly in the intestines.

Primary Benefits

+ Omega-3 fats offer unparalleled support for healthy heart, circulatory, eye, brain, and joint function.*

+ Studies show that fish oil is helpful in alleviating skin, respiratory, and autoimmune disorders.*

+ Clove oil is nature’s strongest antioxidant and richest source of eugenol.** Research indicates that clove protects fish oil to ensure freshness and prevent rancidity. + Precision Delivery softgels release fish oil in the intestines for three times more absorption and no aftertaste. **As measured by ORAC testing

Conclusion: Inhalation of lavender and monarda essential oils reduces cholesterol content in the aorta of rabbits, providing an angioprotective effect.

Abstract: Lavender, monarda, and basil essential oils were tested in rabbits for their effect on atherosclerosis. When inhaled, lavender and mon arda essential oils did not affect blood cholesterol content, but reduced cholesterol content in the aorta. These oils provide a heart-protective effect.

A naturally sweet, indigestible fiber derived from chicory roots, FOS (fructooligosaccharides) are one of the best-documented, natural nutrients for promoting the growth of Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria bacteria, a key to sound health. FOS has also been clinically studied for its ability to increase magnesium and calcium absorption, lower blood glucose, cholesterol, and LDL levels, and to inhibit production of the reductase enzymes that can contribute to cancer. Because FOS can increase magnesium absorption, it can also lead to lowered blood pressure and better cardiovascular health.

JuvaTone JuvaTone is a special herbal complex designed to support the liver. The liver is one of the most important organs of the body. It purifies the blood and is a key to converting carbohydrates to energy. An overtaxed liver may affect our energy, digestion, and skin. Fats and bile within the liver can easily become oversaturated with oil-soluble toxins, synthetic chemicals, and heavy metals. As toxins build, the liver becomes taxed and stressed, resulting in aggravating skin conditions, rashes, fatigue, headaches, muscle pain, digestive disturbances, pallor, dizziness, irritability, mood swings, and mental confusion. The liver also plays a major role in helping the body detoxify. The final products of digestion are transported through the portal vein from the colon to the liver to be cleansed. Choline bitartrate has been used in the treatment of many liver disorders, including elevated cholesterol levels, viral hepatitis, and cirrhosis.

2. Magnesium acts as a smooth muscle relaxant and supports the cardiovascular system. It acts as a natural calcium channel blocker for the heart, lowering blood pressure and dilating the heart blood vessels (Dr. T. Friedmann). Mineral Essence and Mega Cal are good sources of magnesium.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia): Medical Properties: Antiseptic, antifungal, analgesic, antitumoral, anticonvulsant, vasodilating, relaxant, anti-inflammatory, reduces blood fat/cholesterol, combats excess sebum on skin USES: Respiratory infections, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, menstrual problems/PMS, skin conditions (perinial repair, acne, eczema, psoriasis, scarring stretch marks), burns, hair loss, insomnia, nervous tension

Super B Super B is a comprehensive source of the B vitamins essential for good health, including, thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), vitamin B12, biotin, folic acid, and PABA. It also includes minerals that aid the assimilation and metabolism of B vitamins. Niacin is essential for turning carbo hydrates into energy. It lowers cholesterol and helps regulate blood sugar. At least 4.4 mg are needed for every 1,000 calories consumed to avoid pellagra.

Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) improves circulation and reduces blood viscosity. It is anticoagulant, regulates cholesterol, stimulates liver cell function, and reduces plaque deposits from the veins and arteries.

CardiaCare: Nutritionally strengthens and supports the heart and cardiovascular system.

EndoGize A daily supplement expressly formulated to support and maintain a healthy and balanced endocrine system in women. Contains many ingredients, including but not limited to Phosphatidylcholine, which makes cholesterol more soluble and less able to cause hardening of the arteries.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) reduces indigestion and helps regulate cholesterol. It is also antifungal, antiparasitic, antibacterial and helps cleanse the liver.

Grapefruit Essential Oil: Israeli scientists may have discovered an effective new way to treat high cholesterol and diabetes naturally. Dr. Yaakov Nahmias from the Benin School of Engineering and Computer Science at Hebrew University and his colleagues have discovered that naringenin, a molecule in grapefruits that gives the fruit its bitter taste, can help to treat arteriosclerosis, hyper-metabolism, and even diabetes. The study, which was recently published in the journal PLoS One, explains that when a highly-bioavailable ‘nano-complex’ of naringenin is consumed just before a meal that is high in fat and sugar, it can reduce the development of bad cholesterol by roughly 42 percent, and actually increase insulin sensitivity by 64 percent.

As you can see, Young living offers many natural alternative Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil products that promote lowering your cholesterol, along with a healthier lifestyle and food choices. If you choose to go through the fast food drive through a few times a week, I suspect not much will help you lower your cholesterol, whether you’re taking a prescription or using a natural product. Essential Oils do not come with a laundry list of side effects like cholesterol lowering prescriptions do!

I find it very interesting that our government has published well over 300 studies on using Essential Oils to lower cholesterol with positive outcomes. I find this funny because they are using dried herbs in their studies, not pure therapeutic grade essential oils. Can you imagine how many more positive studies they would have if they were using Young living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils, the real deal, instead of dried herbs with very little essential oil left in them? I feel positive that they manipulate their results to continue to support the pharmaceutical industry, as no one in any part of our goverment wants to see the big pharmaceutical companies go broke.

I apologize for the length of these 3 cholesterol articles. I wanted to give you all the information possible so that you can make a well informed choice when deciding what to do about your high cholesterol.
