The dry skin formula moisturizes and nourishes dehydrated skin.Essential Beauty Serum for Dry Skin

Therapeutic essential oils offer pure, potent plant remedies for the skin and have been used since ancient times for a number of skin care needs. It’s no secret that lavender oil nourishes stressed or sunburned skin, that sandalwood can hydrate and repair dry or damaged skin, or that melaleuca can prevent the recurrence of breakouts and blemishes. This long history of use has prompted beauty, cos- metic, and skin care brands to use essential oils to improve the potency of their products. As the leader in the essential oil industry, Young Living recognizes the many benefits of essential oils and has always promoted the use of pure essential oils as an important part of any skin care regimen. Having set the standard in quality, therapeutic-grade essential oils, Young Living knows which oils deliver the best results and has carefully selected pure, unadulterated essential oils for their premium line of skincare and beauty products.

Key Ingredients in the Essential Beauty serum for Dry Skin

  • Essential Oils: sandalwood, blue cypress, cedar- wood, myrrh, clove, and lavender essential oils.
  • Avocado Oil: a rich source of vitamin E and lutein. Lutein can absorb UV light and help protect the skin from sun damage.
  • Wolfberry Seed Oil: is exceptionally protective and nourishing to skin and is rich in omega- 3 and omega-6 fats, which allow the oil to moisturize the outer dermal layers.
  • Rosehip Seed Oil: rich in omega-3 essential fats, improves texture and restores the skin’s natural moisture balance.[1]

Q&A

Q Does my skin have to be damaged or notice- ably troubled for me to use the Essential Beauty Serums?

A No. In fact, although they are highly effective in treating problem skin, the ingredients in these serums are mild enough that they can act as a protectant for the skin and help prevent future problems from occurring. Essential oils also con- tain antioxidant properties that can help correct damaged skin and minimize the signs of aging.

Q Since many essential oils can be drying to skin, how is the dry skin formula effective in keeping the skin moist?

A Each of the serum blends contains essential oils that target specific skin types. The essential oils help remove compacted keratin and sebum from skin follicles that can contribute to excessive oil, breakouts and poor skin clarity. Once the debris from the skin has been removed, the unique vegetable oil complex creates a protective lipid layer that hydrates and moisturizes the skin. The vegetable oil complex also retains a quota of es- sential oils for sustained antioxidant activity and cell protection.

How to Use Essential Beauty Serum for Dry Skin

Lightly spot apply Essential Beauty Serum to problem areas on the face and neck regions before moisturizer, sun block, or makeup is applied.

If preferred, add 3-5 drops of the serum to the ART Day Activator or ART Night Reconstructor creams, mix well, and spread evenly over the face. Serums should be applied in the morning and again in the evening.

The aromatic properties of the essential oil blend called Inspiration creates a feeling of being wrapped in a cocoon of spiritual quietness. Calming to the spirit and mind the aromatherapy benefits of Inspiration are welcomed when you’re having trouble coping.

Learn more about aromatherapy and emotions in this eBook by Evelyn Vincent and David Zarza C.Ht., Working with Emotions: Your Shadow & Aromatherapy.

Inspiration contains these powerful essential oils:

  • Frankincense (Boswellia carteri) stimulates the limbic part of the brain, elevating the mind and helping to overcome stress and despair. It is used in European medicine to combat depression. Frankincense contains sesquiterpenes which stimulate the limbic system of the brain (the center of memory and emotions) and the hypothalamus, pineal and pituitary glands. The hypothalamus is the master gland of the human body, producing many vital hormones including thyroid and growth hormone.
  • Cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica) is high in sesquiterpenes, which can stimulate the limbic part of the brain, the center of emotions and memory. It stimulates the pineal gland, which releases melatonin, thereby improving thoughts, cognition, and memory. Cedarwood is also very grounding and centering.
  • Spruce (Picea mariana) opens and releases emotional blocks, fostering a sense of balance and grounding. Traditionally, it was believed to possess the frequency of prosperity.
  • Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora) is high in linalool, which has a relaxing, empowering effect. It is very grounding and strengthening.
  • Sandalwood (Santalum album) is high in sesquiterpene compounds which stimulate the pineal gland and the limbic region of the brain, the center of emotions and memory. Used traditionally in yoga and meditation. May help remove negative programming from the cells.
  • Myrtle (Myrtus communis) is energizing, inspiring, elevating, and euphoric.
  • Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) Avoid during pregnancy. Has been used historically under pillows to produce vivid dreams.

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

Producing pure unadulterated essential oils is very costly. It often requires several hundred or even thousands of pounds of raw plant material to produce a single pound of essential oil. For example, it can take 2 – 3 tons of melissa plant material to produce one pound of melissa essential oil. Its extremely low yield explains why it sells for $9,000 to $15,000 per kilo.

Likewise, it takes 5,000 pounds of rose petals to produce approximately one pint of rose oil. It is not difficult to understand why this quality of essential oil is expensive. You do in fact get what you pay for when it comes to essential oils.

The vast majority of essential oils are produced for the perfume industry, which is only interested in their aromatic qualities, rather than the plants therapeutic benefits. Therefore it is not important if the finished product contains impurities, chemicals, or if all of the plant compounds are present.

Perfume oils and most aromatherapy products use the lesser quality essential oils so their price point is lowered for the consumer and so profits are higher for them. Which makes me take pause and think about how if we, as consumers, were not of the mindset that everything having to be cheap enough that we might be living in a world where most things made actually were only of the best quality with care for our health… how different store shelves would look and how much better we would feel.

High pressure, high temperatures, and the use of chemical solvents are used in the distillation process for the perfume industry to produce greater quantities of oil in a shorter time. Some of those solvents are: hexane, di-methylene chloride, and acetone.

To most people, these oils carry a pleasant aroma, but they lack true therapeutic properties. Many of the important chemical constituents necessary to produce therapeutic results are either flashed off with the high heat or are not released from the plant material.

In addition to poor distillation processing an essential oil can be further ruined by being adulterated and diluted down with any number of other substances. While this may be terrific for company profits, it’s horrible for consumer use because those chemicals are absorbed through the skin and through inhalation.

The temperature and pressure levels during steam distillation can enhance or destroy the beneficial healing properties of the essential oil. The operator of the distiller must have a full understanding of the value of essential oils in order to produce quality essential oils. If the pressure or temperature is too high, it may change the molecular structure of the fragrance molecule, altering the chemical constitu! ents. For example, the distilling process for lavender should not exceed three pounds of pressure, and the temperature should not exceed 245° F.

We are indeed fortunate to have superior essential oils from Young Living!

Moms Medical Fund Raiser, Life or Death

 Choosing Alternative Medicine not Chemo to treat Cancer

Hi Everyone. Please scroll to the end for monthly updates and oil regime

It is with great sadness in my heart that I write this blog request.  It is regarding my mom, Ann Taylor, who has been my teacher, my guider, and my best friend for 50 years. I would not be the person I am today if she hadn’t taught me all of the stand up morals, ethics, and work integrity that she did.

She is currently sick, again, with a difficult, aggressive advanced form of metastatic cancer.  This is her 5th bout with a cancer, she kicked butt the 1st 4 times.

When she was diagnosed last month, she was told no chemo would work; traditional medicine had nothing to offer her. The oncologist was going to give her a shot of “something like Fosamax”,  and  give her a shot of an estrogen blocker.  That’s it.

She has been a strong believer in alternative medicine for the last 20 years, since her 1st. original diagnosis of cancer.  She turned her life around… ate the correct things, bought organic top of the line herbs, vitamins and supplements, went to see Holistic doctors.  It did work, and that 1st cancer did not return, or better put, was not discovered, until just last month, 20 years later.  She did, in the interim, suffer from an acute case of Leukemia and on 2 separate occasions was diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma that had spread to her lymph nodes.  Working vigorously, these cancers were researched and cured, and we thought she was home free.  We now suspect that the chemo used during the Acute Leukemia treatment opened the door for that 1st cancer to return by totally wiping out her immune system, almost killing her, & that is no exageration.

Since Chemo was not an option for my mom, I researched 22 hours a day for 1 week straight, making many calls to many doctors in alternative holistic centers and clinics to find a path for my mom that realistically would give her a chance to beat this thing.  It is very difficult to find these hidden clinics that are not “spas” or just “anti-aging” clinics, but instead are real places taking real people with real life threatening emergent conditions, like metastatic cancer.

While researching, I sent her many bottles of Young Living Essential Oils to use orally and topically until I could find her the right place to go to.  She used Frankincense, Orange, Idaho Balsam Fir, Sandalwood, Juva Tone and Juva Flexa few times a day.  All were oral except topical Juva flex applied over the liver.

I discovered an absolutely amazing clinic in southern California, run by Dr. Ferre Akbarpour, called the Orange County Immune Center.  Here is a hyperlink to her home page:  http://www.drferre.com/doctors/index.htm     Dr. Ferre and all her staff are amazing people full of tremendous knowledge, warmth and hope.  I had 2 amazing conversations with them, & my mom felt confident this was the place for her.  This is where my mom went, and currently is. It is an outpatient Clinic, so she is staying a few miles away at a hotel that costs $109.00 a day. She will be there until Nov. 30, 2011.  The problem is that none of this is covered by insurance.  Absolutely none.  The cost is $5,900.00 per week at the Immune Center, plus 2 cab rides a day, the monthly hotel bill, dinner 7x a week, breakfast and lunch 2 days a week.  There was the $700.00 airfare to get her there on 2 days notice, the cost for some food to keep in her room, and most importantly, the $1,800.00+ cost of supplements and medications she will need to take monthly for probably the rest of her life.  All this while being retired and living solely on Social Security.

What I feel safe putting online where the FDA & other government agencies can read it is that Dr. Ferre’s clinic will optimize my mom’s immune system and natural killer cells using many modalities and supplements, including some German Technology, which her’s is the only place in the USA that I could find using this amazing technology,  This is our only hope, our only chance that she will see her grandchildren get married and have their own children, that she will live a good long time.  She realized this was her only chance, and although she knew she had to pay for everything, she did it anyway.  My mom is not ready to leave this earth, it is not her time.  It’s so sad that Traditional Medicine had nothing to offer her, and that insurance does not pay for what will help her.  Insurance will Pay $1 million to kill her in the hospital, but not $59 thousand to allow her to live disease free a good long time.  Does this remotely make any sense to anyone?  Well it doesn’t to me.  Dr. Ferre treats many different illnesses, but your records must be sent and reviewed, and if she does not feel she can help you, she does not accept you as a patient, she’s not a gold digger who just takes peoples money.  She is a highly skilled doctor of the utmost integrity, who will only accept patients she fully believes she can help.

We have set up Annie’s Fund, a collection fund for my mom to help cover the expenses incurred by choosing an Alternative Medicine path not covered at all by insurance, and to help pay for what Dr. Ferre will prescribe for her upon discharge, which she has been told will cost $1,000.00+ a month, most likely for the rest of her life.  I will continue to cover the cost of her Young Living Oils for as long as I can, which hopefully will not run $600+ per month after some time.

We are good people, hard working, with good hearts.  We have both given anything we had to anyone who needed our help in any way.  My hope is that all the good works my mom has “paid forward”, will now come back when she needs it most in the form of good people assisting her financially to live.  This is, in fact, a matter of life or death.  We have never done anything like this before, but there is no way around this money problem, and the thought of my mom dying over not having enough money for her med’s , suppliments, compounded medicines and YL Oils is not something I can sit idly by and do nothing about.  So, I’m reaching out to all of you that know me and my integrity, to ask for financial help for my mom.  If you know someone else with a generous giving heart, or someone who greatly supports Alternative Health Care, please print this out and show them my mom’s fight to live and beat the pulp out of this cancer.  I will happily explain more to you privately, buy need to be very very careful about writing about cancer cures on the internet, especially if it involves Alternative medicine.

It’s not that I don’t have faith in the Young Living Essential Oils to do their job, it’s that we are very pressed for time, and some diagnosis’s are so complicated they need a wise alternative doctor to sort it out, prioritize it, and get their hands on this German treatment which we as individuals can’t do.

The Donation fund has been set up through PayPal in 2 ways.  If you would like to contribute, you can send any donations through the Give Forward website,  http://www.giveforward.com/anniesalternativecancertreatment  or directly to PayPal at amisunsets@verizon.net, or you can mail them to me at:

Please be aware that the FDA is very touchy about what you write about Cancer and curing it with Alternative Medicine, and that I am not trying to be evasive in any way about my mom’s cancer or treatment, I just want to be sure I don’t write something that may get Dr. Ferre or Young Living in trouble.

I thank ALL of you for taking the time to read this, and I hope any of you that can spare any amount of a donation will look into your loving and giving hearts and feel comfortable making a donation.

Thank you for any and all support and prayers.

May God Bless you.

                   Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is.  The way we cope with it & what we do with it is what makes the difference.   
 

Hi Everyone. Today is Dec. 1, 2011. My mom came home late last night. I can’t wait to talk to her today & hear the summation of improvement since her visit to Dr. Ferre. My mom described herself yesterday as looking & feeling “vibrant”! I don’t know about you, but those of us not battling cancer don’t describe ourselves as vibrant, so I was thrilled beyond belief to hear my mom say that about herself. I’ll update again in a few days when I know her newest test results! Thanks for reading this & standing by us in this difficult time of need.

2/25/12   Annies Alternative Cancer Treatment Update

I went to mom’s in mid February.  Again, she looked utterly amazing, and certainly not like someone engaged in the fight of her life against this aggressive stage 4 cancer.  She will see the oncologist again mid March, and will have blood work drawn then, as well as likely have either a PET or CAT Scan.

Ann is the mother of 3 great kids, and grandmother to 7 wonderful grandchildren. She is not able to work due to the frequency of recurrences and treatment needed to fight her 5 battles with cancer   She was forced to retire early from teaching Special Education children 7 years ago when she was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leakemia..  She is doing this alone, as my dad passed away suddenly in 1997. Her private insurance plan is very expensive and covers very little, especially the high tech scans and tests needed to keep on top of the cancer, and covers none of the supplements or Essential Oils needed to try and cure this cancer.. This lengthy battle has drained our little family both mentally and financially. Ann is engulfed in the battle of her life right now and the mounting medical bills are a worry we would like to take away from her, so she can focus her energy on getting well.. We can’t change this disease, but we can change how she fights it!  It is important to have a home to come home to, and the cost of treatment doesn’t leave enough money to pay the mortgage!

Thank you all for your donations, support and most importantly, your prayers. We do believe in miracles and we pray for one each day.

God Bless all of you Angels, and thank you for your donations: .without these kind and generous donations, mom would not be able to buy the supplements and essential oils she needs to take each day to actively fight off this cancer.

Thank you

2/5/12  Annies Cancer update.

 Hi Everyone.  I’m writing to you today to update you on my mom’s, dare I say “winning” battle against Stage 4  Metastatic to liver and bones Breast Cancer.  

FEBRUARY 5TH, 2012

Hi everyone.  Mom is taking her supplements from Dr. Ferre in Ca., which are costing about $1,800.00 a month, and  I put her on a regime of Young Living Essential Oils costing about $500.00 a month, starting in  December 2011, consisting of Frankincense, Orange, Tsuga, Sandalwood, Idaho Balsam Fir , Ledum & Copaiba.  She had bloodwork drawn Dec. 1st, & Dec. 21st.  In those 3 weeks, the same 3 weeks that she started on & was taking the Young Living  essential Oils, her tumor markers dropped 100 points!!!!  Yes, 100 points!  To date they had not previously dropped.  I think we finally broke the code & are on the road to a recovery, God willing.  Her oncologist, when seeing the newest blood work results, said, “I don’t know what you’re doing, but it’s clearly working, so don’t stop”!   How amazing is that.  We are so excited.  Hopefully February’s labs will show another dramatic decrease in her tumor markers!!  The regime of oils I decided to give her are based on reading all the Young living information I could find, and is listed below.  As a fun note, mom has started playing Bocce once a week, something we did together all the time in my teenage years.  Last week she played and WON 2 games in the weekly tournament!  Go mom!

The below protocol of oils were picked by me because they work on cancer AND to cleanse the liver, where she has cancer lesions.

Young Living ORAL ESSENTIAL OILS REGIME:  most put into NingXia Red:

Frankincense:  20-22 drops in NingXia Red 2 x a day (totaling 40-44 drops a day)

Sandalwood:  20 drops 1 x a day (used every other month for cell confusion)

Orange: 2/3 of a 15 ml. bottle daily as 1 single dose for 1 week on, 2 weeks off attempting to confuse the cancer cells

Tsuga:  10 drops 1 x daily

Idaho Balsam Fir:  10 drops 1 x daily

Copaiba:  10 drops 1 x daily, 2 x a day if I can get her to.

*NOTE:  We swtitched the Frankincense with Sacred Frankincense every 10 days, as the 15ml bottles ran out, attempting to confuse the cancer cells.

We did this as a 3 week on, 1 week off regime.

*Note:  for about 2-3 weeks before we started the above oral regime, we did a liver cleanse consisting of applying JuvaFlex, JuvaCleanse & Tsuga Topically, taking nothing internally during this except JuvaCleanse.

Young Living TOPICAL ESSENTIAL OILS:  a few drops layered or mixed together topically over Liver a few times a day.

Tsuga

JuvaFlex

Idaho Balsam Fir

JuvaCleanse

Ledum

Starting in February, I will be switching out the Tsuga, and adding Myrtle in place of it, again,  attempting to confuse the cancer cells.

This article is not intended to diagnose or treat any illness, and was written for informational purposes only.  Seek proper medical advise if you think you have cancer from a properly trained physician.  Additionally, ALL oils mentioned refer only to Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils.

Jan. 2012 Update

The Young Living Essential Oils and NingXia Red are profounly affecting my mom’s life.  She has more energy now then she did before adding the NingXia Red and oils to her daily routine.  As examples, 1 day she cleaned out her entire garage;  1 day she scrubbed 2 bathroom floors, kitchen floor and outside lenai’ floor on her hands and knees, and when done, she felt energized, not wiped out!  Every day she calls me with stories like this.  I’m writing this in Feb. 2012, and can tell you that during her 1 week off, which turned into 2 weeks due to a YL shipment delay, she was not energetic at all, and wanted/needed rest periods/naps during the day.  Go Young Living!

December 2011 Update

Merry Christmas!!!

2 days before my mom left the clinic in California (Nov. 28) , they drew blood that was sent to a lab in Germany for “Chemo sensitivity Testing”.  that test takes the cancer cells & exposes them to different Chemo drugs to see which if any would work on the cancer.

Well, guess what  ~~  I advise you to sit down ~~  the lab could not run the test because ALL THE CANCER CELLS WERE GONE FROM HER BLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That’s right, no cancer cells in her blood!  She’s having another blood test done next week to specifically test the breast cancer markers.  If that too comes back low, then dare I say it….. did she beat this damn metastatic cancer in 30 days?  She will still need to take the supplements from Dr. Ferre, but who cares… she’ll be alive & well to take them.

She goes for an MRI in early March.  The doctor feels that waiting until then gives the treatment enough time to hopefully have rid her liver & bones of the cancer as well.

We are all so very very excited.  I want to thank all of you that have prayed & supported my mom during this difficult & trying time, & please don’t stop the prayers!

I look forward to my next update, & I hope I’ll be able to give you more good news

Until then, Merry Christmas everyone!  I know ours will now be much Merrier!  And thank you to Cathy & Blayne for their donations, you’ll never know the depth of our gratitude  :-)

Tammy

Hi Everyone.  Today is Dec. 1, 2011.  My mom came home late last night.  I can’t wait to talk to her today & hear the summation of improvement since her visit to Dr. Ferre.  My mom described herself yesterday as looking & feeling “vibrant”!  I don’t know about you, but those of us not battling cancer don’t describe ourselves as vibrant, so I was thrilled beyond belief to hear my mom say that about herself.  I’ll update again in a few days when I know her newest test results!  Thanks for reading this & standing by us in this difficult time of need.

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

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.

Hi Everyone.  This is part 2 of my article.  It is meant to inform you about how the medical community thinks about pain, and why your doctor may have told you not to worry in the past.

Learning to treat pain effectively takes doctors years, if at all.  Doctors who specialize in PM&R (pain management and relief), are formally called physiatrists or sometimes informally as pain doctors.

One of the first things any doctor should learn is when to worry about pain, and I want you to know when to worry about it as well.   Since the medical community is taught to treat so many different kinds of pain, they need to know when to sound an alarm about a patient’s condition and how to act to treat them most effectively, giving them the most relief from their pain possible. If you’ve been experiencing pain, it’s important that you learn to think like a pain doctor. While these “rules” about when to worry certainly do not cover every person and every situation, (every person and situation is different, and YOU and only YOU know what is normal for your body),  they are important to know to get to the source of your problem.

How to Think Like the Medical Community and your Doctor:
1. Two-Week Rule

Any pain that lasts for more than two weeks should be checked out, period, end of sentence. A lot of people think that new pain without an acute injury, or fall, means that they have cancer. In fact, most, but of course not all,  new pain is due to bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, nerves and other musculoskeletal structures.  Many doctors use the two-week rule because a lot of musculoskeletal pain will resolve within a two-week period. Additionally,  a two-week delay in a true medical  diagnosis is very unlikely to change someone’s prognosis if the pain is in fact due to cancer. Though the two-week rule applies to most pain, there are times when doctors ignore this rule and become immediately concerned, as you will see below.

2. Acute-Trauma Rule
Doctors should immediately check all pain associated with acute trauma, such as a car accident or fall off a ladder, most other falls or injuries occured by being struck by something, or a traumatic fall of any kind.   Usually, people aren’t overly worried that cancer is causing this pain if they have trauma that results in immediate or even slightly delayed pain.  However, all severe pain associated with trauma should get an evaluation; this includes a physical examination by a doctor and potentially xrays or MRI’s to rule out a fracture.

3. Worst Pain of My Life Rule
Doctors should be alarmed at all  new and severe pain that a patient reports that is not related to any acute injury or fall.  It’s not unusual for you to actually say, “This is the worst pain I’ve ever experienced!”  Often, the “worst pain of my life” is not cancer, but may be the result of something else equally serious, such as a heart attack, dislocated joint,  appendicitis or ruptured blood vessel (aneurysm). If the pain is severe but chronic and you have sought your doctors help in acurately diagnosing it, , then the “alarm bells” are not as “alarming”.

4. I Can’t Sleep Rule

Doctors should be concerned about any pain that awakens a you out of a sound sleep at night. Sometimes, night pain is more serious than pain that occurs during the day with normal activities, where you are using the part of your body that is currently or recently been injured. This is because, typically, when you rest, pain gets better. Pain that doesn’t improve with rest is sometimes a reason to seek a diagnosis.  However, resting too much with chronic pain will most usually lead to weakness and more pain .  Continuous bedrest is rarely ordered by your doctor.   We do it to ourselves because initially, that’s the only time we don’t hurt.  If you do in fact have chronic pain, try to alternate rest with activity to stay strong and keep your overall pain levels down. Cancer pain is one type of pain that often usually improve with rest and typically will awaken you at night. However, it’s important to know that a lot if not most of musculoskeletal pain problems will bother patients at night. Hip bursitis or shoulder tendinitis can often keep a you awake if you  lie on the affected side and put pressure on the injured part of the body. It’s important not to make assumptions about what is causing night or bedtime sleep pain, and to find out the cause by seeking a medical diagnosis so that you can treat it correctly.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that pain is misunderstood, undertreated and that doctors and patients need to work together better to find solutions. I personally turned to Young Living Essential Oils because my pain was not being mahaged at an acceptable level or in an acceptable way.  When someone tells you, “I’ve tried everything,” I often ask if they have seen a  doctort. If the answer is yes, and they are reasonably certain you have a correct diagnosis, exploring the use of Young Living Essential Oils to assist you in managing these daily issues may be the correct solution.  There are no addictive side effects, no systemic side effects, it’s safe to use them and drive a car and operate heavy machinery, and will most likely help you sleep better in the process!

Aside from working on the physical aspect of your aches and pains, the oils will also assist you in emotional balancing and relieving depression so often caused by the chronic pain those of us have.
