Dry cracked skin on the hands or feet are a problem for many during wintertime. Skin on hands and feet can become painful and can also make some feel self-conscious when sandal season comes along.

The recipe will address the issue of dry cracked skin on the hands and feet and provide you with perfect pretty sandal feet this winter and spring!

Additional Skin Care Tip: for very dry cracked skin, seal in the above mixture on your hands, knees, elbows or feet with the tiniest dab of Young Living KidScents Tender Tush Ointment (#3689). Tender Tush is absolutely terrific for sealing in the benefits of the above essential oils and promote moisture to dry skin. Adding Tender Tush is one of my favorite additions to provide quick soothing healing to my dry skin.

Working with Emotions: Your Shadow & Aromatherapy eBookThe Shadow Side of our personalities is an essential part of all of us and as natural as our memory or our emotions. Within our Shadow, we store away those parts of us – whether emotions, thoughts, beliefs, experiences or characteristics – that we and others deem as bad, unacceptable, shameful, unlovable or dark. Fortunately, the Shadow isn’t all bad, in fact its quite good as it is one of the easiest routes for us to reach our goodness; our Light.

In this ebook, Evelyn Vincent and David Zarza C.Ht. teach you about your Shadow and Aromatherapy, as well as instructing you on how to use essential oils when working with your Shadow. In a safe and gentle way, you will be lead through a process of uncovering some of what is in your Shadow with the intention of integration and harmony. This is for you to appreciate yourself in a new light and perhaps even embrace your Shadow side.

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

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.

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.

Ways to Use Inspiration Essential Oil

Perfume: Wear a drop on back of neck, sides of forehead, crown of head, bottoms of feet, or along spine.

Bath: Add 2-4 drops in one cup of Epsom Salt or Sea Salt, stir well, pour mixture under running bath water. Soak for 20 minutes.

Diffuse: Follow instructions in your diffuser manual. Diffuse for 15-20 minutes 1-3 times a day.

Massage: Add 2 drops of Inspiration to every one TBSP of V-6 Massage Oil for a full body massage.

"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  :-)

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.

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

    • 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.
