Blends

We all want our homes and workplaces to smell good.  We subconsciously let scents directly affect our mood.  Typically, this is a good thing, except when we are inhaling toxic cancer causing chemicals disguised as innocent air fresheners.  Many health hazards were discussed in part 2 of this series.  If you have not yet read it, I encourage you to do so before reading about the safe, organic, non toxic choices below. Read part 2 here , read part 1 here

When I became involved with Young Living Essential Oils, I was ecstatic to learn about all of the safe non toxic, chemical free air freshener choices that were now available to me!

Today, much has been theorized regarding the effects of diffusing essential oils, which can be considered similar to the aromatic smoke used by Hippocrates. It has been hypothesized that when essential oils are diffused, they can increase atmospheric oxygen by releasing oxygenating molecules into the air. Not only can essential oils increase oxygen in the atmosphere, they also increase the body’s ability to transport oxygen into the cells. The lipid-soluble structure of essential oils allows them to easily penetrate the cell membranes of the nose and enter into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, the oils can help transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells. Young Livings Feelings collection was designed to lift negative impressions and allow openness to new beginnings.  Everyone has experienced lasting adverse impressions that scar our inner self, prohibiting self growth and accomplishment.  “Negative experiences and ideas are recorded in our brains and locked into our memories throughout our lives.  These memories range from mild to extreme and have a profound effect on our health and happiness.  In order to become who we are intended to be, we must erase these negatives and reprogram our thoughts to make positive ideas our reality.” D. Gary Young

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. Many of the aromatherapy oils in this blend were traditionally used by the Native Americans to enhance spirituality, prayer and inner awareness. Inspiration brings us closer to our spiritual connection and closer to our own inner wisdom.

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

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

See also: Methyl salicylate overdose

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.
