There are many things we can do daily that conserve energy, reduce monthly expenses, and improve the quality of our lives. Some are:

1. Use ceiling fans! They use 1/10 of the electricity as A/C. My results: my electric bills have dropped $150 to $200 a month! This does keep the place comfortable most of the time, when I feel too hot I take a shower and use my Young Living essential oils. So for the couple of really hot days we have per month I am sure happy to make this trade-off and be saving hundreds of dollars every month!

2. Dry laundry on a clothesline – they will smell better too!

In 1998 The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History mounted an exhibition titled “American Clothespins,” which consisted in part of displays of patent models of clothespins from as long ago as the 1850s. People came in droves. Those old wooden pegs inspired a huge outpouring of nostalgia. Then one day Barbara Janssen, the curator behind the exhibition, was walking through the museum and saw a boy turn to his father and ask, “What’s a clothespin, Dad?” It’s no wonder the child had never seen one before.

Nearly 60 percent of American homes are now equipped with automatic clothes dryers. It’s in the shadow of the dryer that quaint old clothespins and clothespin doll kits turn up on auction at eBay. The device has become so superfluous that Janssen herself, the leading expert on its evolution, has no use for it beyond its appeal as a collector’s item. She once purchased a pack with playful flower-shaped heads at Target, but not to hang garments with. When asked if she has a clothesline, she replies, “Of course not. I use a dryer.” And, let’s not forget about the clothesline to hold the laundry and clothespins! Read the rest of this entry »

How Much Does it Cost to Join Young Living

February 25, 2010 in Additional Income, Aromatherapy, Buy / Purchase, Home Business, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil, Wholesale / Member, Young Living Distributor by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

Many don’t really know how Young Living works or they think that it works the same way as other companies when it comes to ordering, becoming a member, and becoming a distributor. In this article I’d like to dispel some of the confusion and misinformation so that you can make a more informed choice based on facts.

Becoming a member is very much the same as becoming a member of Sam’s Club or Cosco, with one big difference, you do NOT have to pay a yearly membership fee. As a matter of fact, there is no cost at all, other than than the price of the products, unless you want to become a wholesale customer or a distributor.

So, How Much Does it Cost…

The cost depends on which customer type you choose. I want you to select the option that is best for your needs. Here is the skinny on each:

As a “Customer” (retail) - it costs nothing except for the cost of the product(s) you want to buy, and tax/shipping. Do NOT select this customer type if you want wholesale pricing, you will not get wholesale pricing if you select this customer type (even if you do purchase a Start Living kit, read below “Wholesale Customer.”

As a “Preferred Customer” (save 12%) - this option saves you 12% off retail but you ‘must’ be on the Essential Rewards program and order at least 50 PV worth of products of ‘your’ choice a month. Do NOT select this customer type if you want wholesale pricing – or – if you do not wish to be on Essential Rewards.

As a “Wholesale” Customer (save 24%) – anyone can be a wholesale customer by purchasing one of the five “Start Living” kits which range in price from $40 to $300. You will save 24% off of retail on all orders, effective immediately. (see the Start Living kits)

To maintain your wholesale pricing the ONLY thing you are required to do is have a yearly total of 50 PV – this means you only have to buy about $50 worth of product a year to maintain your wholesale pricing – which is nothing.

When you go to join up as a wholesale customer you will need to select the “Independent Distributor” customer type and purchase one of the five Start Living kits. If you do not do this you will not get wholesale pricing.

Note: the “wholesale” and “Distributor” membership types are combined for ease – you do not have to have a business and you do not have to make monthly orders unless ‘you’ want to, the choice is entirely yours. I do want to point out that if you do join Essential Rewards you will save more money, an additional 10% to 20%, read more about Essential Rewards below.

As a “Distributor” (save 24%) - anyone can be an Independent Distributor and have a home business and share Young Living with others. To do this you will purchase one of the five “Start Living” kits ranging in price from $40 to $300. You will save 24% off of retail on all orders, effective immediately. (see the Start Living kits)

Note: As a distributor you will have to be on Essential Rewards in order to get a commission check. Your monthly order should be a minimum of 100 PV (about $100, plus tax/shipping). You choose which ever combination of products you want each month, there are well over 400 to choose from, I’ve never heard anyone complain that they don’t know what to get because the selection is too limited, I only ever hear newbies say, “wow, there’s so much I want from Young Living that I don’t know where to begin!” If that’s the case with you, let me know, I can help you sort through what we have and your needs so you can get started with products that you will immediately start using.

More on Supplementing Your Income and Home Business

So, very simply put… there is no cost… unless you want to be a wholesale customer or a distributor, in which case it’s a one-time $40 – $300 fee for a Start Living kit; which by the way, they all come with product and a mail-in coupon worth 50% off on a diffuser (which means you are getting product you can use for your one-time member fee).

As shown in this chart, you can see which requirements are necessary for each customer type. Young Living is quite reasonable and makes every effort to keep it easy for you to purchase and become the customer type that works best for ‘your’ needs.

11 Common Misunderstandings

1. You ‘have’ to buy products every month. False.

Buying products every month is completely optional unless you choose to be a distributor and get a commission check.

2. I have to buy products every month whether I want them or not. False.

We do NOT want you to buy products you do not need, ever. You order what you want, when you want – though I have to point out that you will save an additional 10% – 20% when you’re on the Essential Rewards program as a Preferred Customer, or a Wholesale Customer/Distributor.

3. If I become a wholesale customer I will have to sell and/or push my friends and family to buy products. False.

You can be a wholesale customer the rest of your life if you like, you never have to sell a thing ever. You also will NOT be pushed to sell anything, ever.

4. I have to buy ‘packs’ every month. False.

Unlike other companies, Young Living does NOT require you to buy packs every month. We do have some very nice packs available that contain useful products most use daily, but no one is ever required to buy them – packs are 100% optional and ONLY available to those on the Essential Rewards program.

5. I have to buy the same things every month. False.

The product line is very extensive with well over 400 products to choose from. You are encouraged to buy whatever you want – always!

Even if you want to get the best pricing through being on the Essential Rewards program, by all means change your order every month – get your favorites that you’re running low on and try a new oil each month, it’s exciting and a terrific way to experience something new in your life regularly.

6. There are hidden costs and/or other things I need to pay for. False.

Which ever membership type you choose the price is the price and that’s that. There are never any additional charges for anything ever.

7. Every year I will have to pay a membership fee. False.

There is no yearly membership fee for any of the customer types. If you want to be a wholesale customer or distributor there is a one-time purchase of a Start Living kit. Purchasing 50PV worth of product a year WILL maintain your wholesale pricing.

8. If I want to have a Young Living home business I will have to do cold calls and become a sales person. False.

Nothing could be further from the truth. We do not do telemarketing, nor do we push or pressure others to buy anything ever. We work from the principles of “Heart-Centered Sharing” approach – which does not include high-pressure sales pitches or making a list of 100 people you know and pushing them to buy products.

9. It will be costly to start up as a distributor, I will need a lot of money to carry an inventory, and I will have to find a place to set up shop to sell the oils/products directly to people. False.

As a distributor, you are never required to carry an inventory. Some distributors might carry some items in limited quantities if they are doing health expo’s, but that’s optional (the least you need to do a show is to have some samples). Additionally, you do NOT have to have a store or a display in a shop.

How your customers will get the products: their order is shipped through FedEx, Young Living drop-ships everything for us. I personally find this to be excellent, after over 35 years of having conventional retail and wholesale businesses it is a god-send that I do NOT have to have a small fortune tied up in inventory, space to house the inventory, space designated for shipping, and schlepping product around to retail locations, and driving all over delivering it to people (not that I don’t want to see people, just that it’s extremely expensive to be driving around these days and I’m into being efficient). Because I do not carry an inventory I never have to deal with additional bookkeeping or quarterly sales tax (both of which I hate doing) Young Living does all of that for us – that leaves me with more time to do the other things that I do enjoy!

10. I want to buy products without becoming a member of anything.

I’m not exactly sure what people are thinking when they make that statement. But I want you to know that it’s not like you’re joining something that will make demands on you personally or financially, it’s quite the contrary.

Actually what’s going on is this, because Young Living essential oils are used differently than your average aromatherapy oils the company wants to make sure that each customer has access to someone who can help them learn how to use the oils properly, this is why you never see Young Living oils sold in stores; the staff is not trained to help customers in that way.

Also, it is set up to eliminate the middleman. Yes, it is a Network Marketing company (not a pyramid, those are illegal) which allows people like you and me to have a home business and an income should one decide to become a distributor. This means that the cut, or percentage that normally goes to the middleman in the chain is given to the distributors for their work and efforts. It’s just a different way of splitting up the money so that it goes to distributors, rather than a corporation who provides a service in the chain of events that goes into every single thing that is sold everywhere, everyone gets a cut whether you buy products from Whole Foods, WalMart, Cosco, or popcorn at a movie theatre there are people along that long line of hands items pass through that get a cut. In the case the product does not go through a long line of people; the products go through the company, then me, then into your hands. Like I said, it’s just a different way of distributing the percentage that goes to the middleman.

In short, the reason why a membership is necessary is so that when, let’s say… I meet you and you want to make a purchase with me that you become my customer. And each time after that when you make a purchase I get a commission for my efforts in assisting you and helping you to learn more about using our oils and products. You are assigned a member number as a means by which Young Living can keep track and sort through all of the customers to make sure that I am the one who gets the commissions instead of someone else. It’s not like you’re becoming a part of some strange and obnoxious community or anything like that.

11. I live in Canada and will have to pay additional fee’s and customers costs. False.

For all orders you place select the shipping method called “IGD” and the total on your purchase will be the price you pay, no additional expenses! Your order will usually arrive within 10 business days or less, unless you choose express shipping.

12. I can get the same quality essential oils at my local health food store for less. False.

The reason essential oils would be cheaper than Young Living’s is ONLY because they are of much lesser quality. You can safely assume that you get what you pay for holds true in regards to this too. I have never been in any health food store, or shop for that matter, that sells any brand that even comes close.

In terms of using essential oils, if you’re going to use them in the ways we discuss you most certainly do NOT ever want to use a lesser quality essential oil. You have no idea how bad the quality is in this industry. Which is precisely why I was over-joyed when I discovered Young Living over 10 years ago – I was sick and tired of spending a small fortune on adulterated and diluted essential oils that ALWAYS turned rancid in 6-8 months. People who buy cheaper essential oils are in reality spending 2 to 4 times as much on junk oils in the long run.

As either a wholesale customer or distributor on Essential Rewards I am getting my superior quality oils (and products too) at nearly 45% off retail. How can that be??? I’m in the 20% bracket in the Essential Rewards program – take that 20% and add it to the 24% wholesale discount and you’ve got 44% off retail pricing! If you’re currently using, or thinking of using, a cheaper essential oil; I can assure you that you ARE spending a small fortune on junk. Oh, and I have never had to throw away a bottle of my Young Living oils because they’ve turned rancid, and I DO have a few oils that are 8 years old. Think of a high quality essential oil as a fine wine; it wont go bad, you’ll never have to throw it away, and like fine wines some essential oils even get better with age.

Essential Rewards: what is it, and why you want to be interested

The largest plus to you is that it will save you a lot of money in the long-term. It’s a free program created that gives you rewards points that you can redeem for FREE product!

Essential Rewards is 100% optional for everyone except for: Preferred Customers, and those who choose to have a home business and want a commission check as a distributor.

How you earn reward points…

Months on Essential Rewards, Points Earned:

Months 1–6 you get 10% in points
Months 7–12 you get 15% in points
Months 13+ you get 20% in points

The minimum monthly order on Essential Rewards is 50 PV, about $50 wholesale, plus tax and shipping.

I’ve been on Essential Rewards for over 4 years now, which means I’m in the 20% bracket. I choose to redeem my reward points 4 times a year, you can redeem yours more or less frequently. This means that I get about $600 worth of free product a year – that adds up to a savings of about 45% off the retail prices. Because I am a distributor, my monthly orders are between $110 – $130 a month – I get 20% of that in rewards points every month.

While you’re in the 10% bracket, it doesn’t really ‘feel’ like you’re gaining a lot… but wait until you’re in the 15% and 20% bracket… Wow, you can feel the savings!

The thing I like most about the Essential Rewards is that I am getting high quality nontoxic oils and products for about the same cost people spend to buy the cheap brands in the store! This makes me feel so smart and empowered. Empowered because I have taken my health into my own hands and I’m NOT exposing myself, family and dog to horrible toxic products (this saves a fortune on health care costs), my household is a safe haven and healthy for us at the same cost as buying products that I shun in the stores. I am getting a lot for my money by using Young Living oils and products.

One perfect example is the conditioner, I have very long hair and I only have to buy 2 bottles of Young Living conditioner a year! That means it costs me less than $15 a year for my conditioner – are you seeing better now why I feel ‘smart’ and ‘empowered’?

For the past 9 years I haven’t switched brands once, not even once! Previously I had to switch brands of shampoo once a moth! These shampoo’s and conditioner’s do not leave build-up on your hair, ever! On top of that, they don’t contain any chemicals that are hazardous to my health. Like I said, ‘smart’ and ‘empowered.’ I have tons of other stories like this, some of which are in this blog.

The point I’m trying to make is that there are so many smart and empowered things we all can be doing, they’re easy, they make us feel good, they’re good for the environment, and they save us a ton of money over time.

When you’re initially making the switch over can feel a little expensive at first, my advice is… try to see past that and just know that after you get switched over and have your nontoxic household in place, particularly if you’re on Essential Rewards, you will most certainly feel the savings every single month. You will also spend less time shopping and driving because the oils and products can be used in dozens of ways.

A good example is Peppermint essential oil, one day I counted 26 different ways I use Peppermint, one bottle of essential oil can replace dozens of other products that are commonly used (here’s how we used it to get rid of a squirrel). I’ll have to write an article on that soon and put a link here so you can see what I mean. Overall, if you’re looking to make the switch to go truly natural, save your health and a lot of money – I can show you how. Contact me if you have questions.

In Conclusion: How much does it cost to join Young Living?

Nothing if you want to be a retail customer.
The least amount to become a wholesale customer is $40, but can go up to as high as $300 depending on which Start Living kit ‘you’ choose.
The minimum amount to be a “Preferred Customer” or on the Essential Rewards program as a Wholesale Customer / Distributor is 50PV a month – which is a little over $50 a month wholesale, add 12% to that if you choose Preferred Customer.

In 1994 Chinese scientists first isolated an unusual glycoprotein complex that they called “Lycium barbarum polysaccharide.” Researchers began to document that this low-glycemic long-chain molecule was responsible for many of the NingXia province wolfberry’s strong immune-boosting and cardioprotective properties. Research on this intriguing polysaccharide continues throughout the world.

Researchers also discovered that the protein arm of the molecule contained more than 18 amino acids (proteins), while the sugar linkage contained not only the plentiful sugars glucose and galactose, but also the rare and vital sugars arabinose, rhamnose, xylose, and mannose.

The essentials sugars in the NingXia wolfberry polysaccharides provide immune system and heart health benefits and the ingredients for optimal cellular communication and DNA protection. The most amazing thing about these necessary sugars is that they are low glycemic!

What is the Glycemic Index

The glycemic index measures the rate that carbohydrates break down and release glucose into the bloodstream. High-glycemic foods have a dangerous effect on insulin secretion. As poor food choices push more and more people into diabetes, high-glycemic foods must be avoided. High-glycemic foods also play a role in obesity rates increasing in every state except Oregon in 2004.1

Most juices have a higher glycemic index than the fruits they are derived from. NingXia Red juice has been extensively tested and found to be low glycemic, with a score of 11. You might wonder how that is possible with all the sugars found in wolfberries. Well, apparently the fiber in wolfberries keeps the sugars from “spiking” in the blood, which can make NingXia Red a very healthy choice.

NingXia Red and Essential Sugars

Of the eight essential sugars, the NingXia wolfberry has six. NingXia Red delivers these sugars as part of ‘whole’ foods rather than as a concoction of isolated ingredients often marketed. Considering that NingXia Red juice also contains blueberries, raspberries, pomegranates, apricots, and dark grapes-all of which are well known for their health benefits – NingXia Red is, in fact, a wonderful source of all eight essential sugars.

Sugar Profile of NingXia Wolfberry

62.70% – Glucose
14.80% – Mannose
13.30% – Xylose
4.30% – Galactose
1.03% – Rhamnose
Arabinose*
Fucose*
Neuramic*

(* yet to be determined)

Glucose and Galactose have the ability to convert into the missing Fucos and Neuramic, but minerals are necessary to make that conversion. NingXia Red juice also has an abundance of minerals in forms most easily assimilated.

Super Oxides

Today, the ORAC test is much more sophisticated. It has been expanded to cover more free radicals: the hydroxyl (HORAC), peroxynitrite (NORAC), and superoxide (SOD.) The superoxide free radical is the most prevalent in the body and also generates other free radicals, it is also the most damaging of all free radicals.

The SOD test measures superoxide scavenging activity. The NingXia wolfberry again is unparalleled in its ability to scavenge and squelch the superoxide free radical-much like a “search and destroy” mission.

Why do I keep specifiying “NingXia Wolfberry?” Why would it be any different than any type of Goji Berry?

When tested it was found that all wolfberries, or Goji Berries as the red berry is often called, are not created equal nutritionally. Apparently much of the nutritional difference in the berries of the Lycium barbarum species depends on ‘where’ the shrub is grown.

Basically it work like this, if the nutrients are deficient in the soil it will produce a deficient, or less nutritious, plant or fruit.

This is very easy to understand when we look at the nutritional value of many of our common vegetables today. For instance, you may have already heard that our produce today is severely lacking in nutrients compared to the exact same vegetable of 50 years ago. When spinach was tested in the 1950s it had 72 grams of iron. Today, it’s down to a shocking 5 grams!

It should be no surprise that poor farming practices are the most likely reason why our food is severely lacking in the most basic nutrients and minerals. The same is true of the goji berry. This is why I am stressing “NingXia Wolfberry” – it is a powerhouse of nutrition because of the nutrient dense soil and water in the NingXia area of China.

With that in mnd, let’s take a look at how some of the better known red energy drinks compare when tested at the third party lab facility Brunswick Laboratory…

Quite often I’m also asked about other energy juices which are not specified on this particular report and how they compare to NingXia Red. The fact is, they are just as bad, if not worse, than the competitors listed in this document. Young Living does not scrimp on testing our own products or our competitors. Furthermore, when NingXia Red juice was tested it scored so high above competitors that at first no one believed it was possible. So after asking Brunswick Labs to run the test two more times (and the score remained exactly the same) Brunswick Lab told Young Living, “you’re going to have to accept the numbers, we are not running any further tests on NingXia Red.” This means that we too have to accept that NingXia Red absolutely trounces all of the other energy juices out there, regardless of what any of them say or claim.

For those who prefer a visual statements

It requires one to drink this much of a competitors juice to equal “one – ounce” of NingXia Red…

How much Fruit and Vegetables do You Have to Eat to Equal “One – Ounce” of NingXia Red?

How much does NingXia Red cost?

For the cost of a Star Buck’s coffee you can have 2-4 servings of NingXia Red juice per day!

NingXia Red 1 liter bottle – $1.17 per 1 oz. serving*
NingXia Red 2 Pack – $1.13 per 1 oz. serving*
NingXia Red 4 Pack – $1.10 per 1 oz. serving*
NingXia Red Combo Pack – $1.25 per 1 oz. serving*
NingXia Red Singles 30 Pack – $1.33 per 1 oz. serving*
NingXia Red Singles 100 Pack – $1.15 per 1 oz. serving*

* these costs are based on the “wholesale/distributor” prices – I highly recommend becoming a wholesale customer. No – you don’t have to sell anything and you do NOT have to buy stuff you don’t want every month either – if you have questions about this simply contact me or read more about being a wholesale customer.

The cost of NingXia Red for a “retail” member – simply add 24% . At retail, a 1 liter bottle will cost $1.54 per 1 oz. serving.

You may also like to know that NingXia Red juice does ‘not’ contain any ‘junk’ juices, such as: white grape juice, pear juice, apple juice – all of these are very high in sugar and have very little if any nutritional value.

Additional Studies

Gerontologists at Peking University found that a minuscule amount of wolfberry (0.025 percent) in a culture medium allowed an increase in the number of times human lung cells could divide from forty-nine times to sixty-one times.2

From the book, Discovery of the Ultimate Superfood, “Using wolfberry in the nutrient broth, researchers effectively increased the lifespan of the lung tissue by 22 percent.”

In addition, there is also an ingredient synergy at work in NingXia Red as the raspberries, blueberries, and pomegranates in the juice are also potent antioxidants. Even the essential oils of orange and lemon in this powerful juice contain the antioxidant d-limonene.

NingXia Red Testimonials

“We have been using NingXia Red for a month now and when I asked my fourteen-year-old daughter if she noticed any difference, she replied, ‘I don’t feel sick all the time. Now I’m going to have to fake it to miss time from school!’ We laughed and I told her I would like to go on a day trip with her sometime—maybe I will let her take a sick day for that.” ~ Marina Thornton

“NingXia Red has given me a boost in energy—and having a very active job of setting up and taking down temporary exhibits at a natural history museum, I can use it. Thank you for making my life better. I am now registered to be a distributor, and will spread the good word about this wonderful product.” ~ Craig Yaneki

“Last month my massage therapist asked me what I have been doing differently. She thought perhaps I was detoxing so that the muscles could get more nutrients, but I told her that I had started taking a great tasting infusion called NingXia Red. Wow! What an endorsement for continuing to drink the most astounding nutrient infusion I have ever found! Thank you, Young Living, for introducing me to this phenomenal product called NingXia Red!” ~ B. J. Rylander

“I typically use two ounces of NingXia Red each morning when I wake up, and during high-stress times, I use one to three ounces more during the day. The results have my husband now interested in the Young Living product line, and our patients have even noticed a difference in my energy levels at the office. I also know that the difference has been significant enough that the people around me have taken notice and are now looking at Young Living products with interest themselves.” ~ Marilynn Alvarez

“I’m drawn to eating sugary foods. However, when I drink NingXia Red regularly it takes away my sugar cravings. This is nothing less than a miracle for me.” ~ Hope Smith

“I have never used my sick time at work since drinking NingXia Red. Anytime I feel something coming on, I up my intake of NingXia Red—sometimes to as much as sixteen to twenty-four ounces per day—and I prevent it from getting worse or even happening at all. It makes me so happy that there is a product I can count on so certainly.” ~ Jeff Fedewa

“My husband I can both tell that we are more satisfied with our healthy meals after drinking NingXia Red. I have fewer cravings for unhealthy foods because of getting my nutritional needs met in this drink. We are thankful to support our health and slow down the aging process with this wonderful antioxidant formula. Thank you for making NingXia Red available for delivery to our home.” ~ Marissa Shulak

“I am really a sugar hound and I have tried many things to stop craving it. Then I used NingXia Red for sixty days and I no longer crave sugar. I feel wonderful! Thank you Young Living for this great product. I highly recommend using NingXia Red.” ~ Linda Wheatcraft

“Before I started drinking NingXia, I always felt lethargic, unmotivated, and simply too tired to really do anything physical. Since I started drinking NingXia Red and learned more about Young Living, I quit drinking coffee, am eating less sugary foods, and truly feel that NingXia Red is helping to transport the nutrients to my body in a way that it can be of more benefit, as well as giving me more energy and stamina. I’m really enjoying the benefits and am looking forward to trying some of the other nutritional items from Young Living.” ~ Diane Marroquin

Self-Confidence and Essential Oils

February 3, 2010 in Application, Aromatherapy, Blends, Diffusing, Foot, How do I use, Relaxation, Wholesale / Member, Young Living Essential Oils by Jonell Elder | No comments

Throughout history and into the future someone will be lacking in self-confidence. Some are blessed with confidence and others are not. We may grow and mature and become more confidence, but for others it may not come so easily and it could be debilitating and hard at times for some to cope with this low esteem.

In my previous article “5 Ways to Build Self-Confidence” I made suggestions of different essential oil blends to include in the 5 Ways to Build Self-Confidence process. Following is the list of each essential oil, how they may help, and how to use them.

1. Valor Roll On works with both the physical and spiritual aspects of the body to increase feelings of strength, courage, and self-esteem in the face of adversity. Renowned for its strengthening qualities, Valor enhances an individuals internal resources.*

Apply Valor Roll On generously to feet, wrists, or back of the neck. Also apply in the palm of your hand and then cup your hands over your nose and take three long inhalations of the scent. (Keep your hands from touching your skin)

2. Joy oil is a luxuriously exotic blend with uplifting overtones that creates magnetic energy and brings joy to the heart, which may exude from you to others.*

Diffuse and/or apply one to two drops of Joy oil behind your ears, on your temples, wrists, over your heart, and onto the bottoms of your feet. Also apply a drop onto the palm of your hand and then cup your hands over your nose and take three long inhalations of the scent. (Keep your hands from touching your skin)

3. Gratitude is a soothing blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils designed to elevate the spirit, calm emotions, and bring relief to the body while helping to foster a grateful attitude.

Diffuse and/or apply one to two drops of Gratitude oil behind your ears, on your temples, wrists, over your heart, and onto the bottoms of your feet. Also apply a drop onto the palm of your hand and then cup your hands over your nose and take three long inhalations of the scent. (Keep your hands from touching your skin)

4. Acceptance stimulates the mind with oils specially blended to promote feelings of accepting ourselves and others, regardless of perceived barriers. This blend also helps overcome procrastination and denial.

Diffuse and/or apply one to two drops of Acceptance over the heart, on the wrists, behind the ears, on the neck and on the face. Also apply a drop onto the palm of your hand and then cup your hands over your nose and take three long inhalations of the scent. (Keep your hands from touching your skin)

5. Stress Away Roll On is a unique blend of vanilla, lime, copaiba, and other pure essential oils relieves daily stress, encourages relaxation, and reduces nervous tension.

Apply Stress Away Roll On generously to feet, wrists, or back of the neck. Also apply in the palm of your hand and then cup your hands over your nose and take three long inhalations of the scent. (Keep your hands from touching your skin)

On any given day you could use any of these oils, or any of our other 150 essential oils for physical, mental or spiritual natural healing.

Essential oils are the natural, aromatic volatile liquids found in shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds. Only certain plants contain essential oils, they are known as the aromatic plants. The essential oil is formed in very small structures in the leaves, flowers, or other parts of the plant. (Read more on “What is an essential oil”)

Historically, essential oils have played a prominent role in everyday life. With more than 200 references to aromatics, incense, and ointments throughout the Bible, essential oils are said to be used for anointing and healing the sick. Essential oils are the only substance to support our entire body, physically, emotionally, spiritually, or for our social health and our mental health.

Young Living essential oils are very concentrated and a small portion of essential oil is all that is needed at the time of each use. Once a therapeutic-grade essential oil is applied to the body, whether by inhalation, ingestion, or topical application to the skin, the essential oil enters the bloodstream. The essential oil is then metabolized and chemically changed quite rapidly, and during this period a multitude of therapeutic effects are possible.

Hence the way and essential oil works depends on the constituents that are in each oil and on the individual the essential oil is being applied to. Each essential oil blend has been formulated to work towards helping for specific concerns. This is why I am suggesting the above oils. When applied topically, diffused or inhaled the benefits are truly remarkable to experience.

The quality is another very important factor and very important for you to understand that I am only talking about and suggesting the use of Young Living therapeutic-grade essential oil. The goal is to have only the purest oils available on the market and the quality is never a question.

When diffusing these essential oil blends you may experience relaxation, stress reduction, clarity of mind, uplifting, feelings of acceptance, joy, courage, self esteem and much more.

The nebulizer diffuser is, sometimes also called a ‘Cold-Air Nebulizer Diffuser’. It is perhaps the best type as it is the most versatile for all purposes. The benefits of this type of diffuser are that it literally puts the essential oil into the air in micro-fine particles that stay suspended in the air for several hours. Diffusing 5 to 15 minutes several times a day is a good practice to follow. Read more on diffusing.

We have over 150 different oils and over 400 products in total. We are able to offer a wide variety of natural ways to help anyone who is seeking better health and well being.

The best way to get started using our essential oils is by becoming a wholesale customer and starting off with one of our getting started kits. Perhaps starting with the Start Living Everyday Oils kit would be the way you would want to begin your journey of healing with pure and natural products.

I look forward to hearing from you so that I can better assist you to determine what would be the best way for you to get started and becoming a part of our family. Please contact me and click on this link Wholesale Customer to learn more on how you can save on your products.

Ear Ache Relief

January 24, 2010 in Alternative Therapies, Application, Aromatherapy, First Aid tips, Green, Smell / Olfactory, Testimonials, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil, Thieves, Wholesale / Member, Young Living Distributor by Jonell Elder | No comments

Have you ever had severe ear aches with terrible pain and this required you to take a trip to the doctor? Have your ear drums ruptured? If you have you may worry about when you get older and possibly becoming hard of hearing. Or perhaps your ears are very sensitive to sound. If any of this is the case in your life, you may be susceptible to ear aches. What ever the case may be, when ear aches come on, they are not pleasant to deal with.

When an ear ache does not go away and is very painful it can really bring you down and it can be hard to cope. For sure you don’t want to go out into the cold air or to get water in my ears. It’s a good idea to keep your ears covered when out in nature and the weather is nasty.

I am so grateful to be a Young Living distributor because I know how therapeutic grade essential oils may help with an ear ache should I get one. I also know the importance of using only quality essential oils. Knowing that I am part of a company that’s focus and intent is to bring pure, natural, organic essential oils to the world is such a relief and a pleasure to share with others.

The essential oil therapy to use for earaches is with the essential oil blend of Thieves and this is what I do;

Put 2-4 drops of Thieves in the palm of your hand or in a glass bowl or cup, with approximately 1/2 of a teaspoon of V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex.
Stir the mixture clockwise 3 times, to get the energy flowing.
Dip your finger in the oil mixture and apply around both ears, on the front and back of your ear and just a bit on the opening of each ear.
Next take a Q-tip, dip it into the mixture and gently rub the inner part of your ears.
Put some of the oil mixture on cotton balls and insert into your ears.
Lastly, and how I always end any time I am using essential oils, with some of the Thieves blend in the palm of my hands, cup your hands over your nose, (being sure to not touch my face), and take 3 nice long breaths. You get the pleasure of the beautiful scent and the benefits of aromatherapy.

This has done the job for me and has immediately stopped the pain and started me on my way to healing. You can also put a warm compress to your ears as the warmth feels good and helps the healing process move along even quicker.

Fun Easy Gift Ideas to Make at Home Part II

November 3, 2009 in Additional Income, Air Freshener, Calming, Chemicals / Toxic, Diffusing, Gift, Make Money, Make My Own, Wholesale / Member, Young Living Business / Sharing, Young Living Distributor by Jonell Elder | No comments

Living in the Pacific Northwest can have you cooped up inside because of the rainy days. What I like to do on days like that is to have some fun making more easy gifts for family and friends.

I enjoy giving gifts that are all natural and are not harmful in anyway, such as being free of toxins and chemicals. Instead they are made with Young Living therapeutic-grade essential oils. More and more people are becoming better educated and realizing they need to be making changes in what not to purchase in the stores. This is where my next fun easy gift idea comes in.

Spritzers with therapeutic-grade essential oils, not only are beneficial for you but they smell luscious. None of that perfume chemical smell. I actually have to walk quickly by any stores, like those bed & bath supply stores, because the smell is too much for me to be near.

Here is the list of supplies you will need to get yourself started:

Glass spray bottles. Can be purchase through: www.abundanthealth4u.com
Grain alcohol – 90 to 105 proof Vodka
Young Living essential oils of choice.

Single Oils

Lavender-A fresh, sweet, floral, herbaceous aroma that is soothing and refreshing. Because it is the most versatile of all essential oils, no home should be without it. It may assist the body when adapting to stress or imbalances.
Lemon-A strong, purifying, citrus scent that is revitalizing and uplifting. Lemon consists of 68 percent dlimonene, a powerful antioxidant.
Peppermint-A strong, clean, fresh, minty aroma. Very refreshing and awakening.

Blends

Abundance-was created to enhance the frequency of the harmonic magnetic energy field that surrounds us. This higher frequency creates what is called “the law of attraction,” which refers to the things we attract to ourselves. Abundance opens us to a wealth of possibilities.*
Christmas Spirit-is a sweet, spicy blend of orange, cinnamon, and spruce essential oils that tap into the happiness, joy, and security associated with the holiday season.*
Citrus Fresh-is a relaxing, calming blend loved by children and adults alike. Rich in the powerful antioxidant d-limonene, it supports the immune system and overall health while bringing about a sense of well-being, creativity, and feelings of joy. It also works as an air purifier.*
Evergreen Essence-takes you back to nature by combining the scents of a variety of aromatic pine, cedar, and spruce trees. Crisp and invigorating, it refreshes your senses. This blend changes slightly from season to season. Evergreen Essence is a seasonal item, usually available in the winter.
Gentle Baby-is a soft, fragrant combination of essential oils designed specifically for mothers and babies. It may help calm emotions during pregnancy and is useful for quieting troubled little ones. It is also soothing to tender skin*
Joy-is a luxuriously exotic blend with uplifting overtones that creates magnetic energy and brings joy to the heart. When worn as cologne or perfume, Joy exudes an alluring and irresistible fragrance that inspires romance and togetherness. When diffused, it may be refreshing and uplifting.*
Peace & Calming-is a gentle, fragrant blend. When diffused, it may help calm tensions and uplift the spirit, promoting relaxation and a deep sense of peace. Peace & Calming may be especially calming and comforting to young children after an overactive and stressful day.*
Purification-can be used directly on the skin to cleanse and soothe insect bites, cuts, and scrapes. When diffused, it helps to purify and cleanse the air from environmental impurities including cigarette smoke and other disagreeable odors.
Thieves-This proprietary essential oil blend was university tested for its cleansing abilities. It is highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health.*
White Angelica-is a calming and soothing blend that encourages feelings of protection and security. It combines oils used during ancient times to enhance the body’s aura, which brings about a sense of strength and endurance. Many people use it as protection against negative energy.

Directions for creating Spritzers:

Fill 1 ounce glass spray bottle half way with alcohol.
Drop 10 drops of Young Living therapeutic-grade essential in bottle.
Finally, fill bottle with alcohol. Spray and smell. You may need to add more essential oil to get the best scent.
Apply pretty labels, with ingredients.
Apply labels saying; Spray in the air to fill the room with beautiful scent. Spray on clothing, linens, bedding, towels or furniture, for freshening and lovely scents.

When you spray the spritzer on your clothing, it is a wonderful aromatherapy perfume and people always comment on the wonderful scents. So try it out and see the response that you get from people.

These spritzers are excellent for freshening any stale air, or rooms that have stinky smells, like the bathroom can get to be at times. So having a bottle handy in the bath room is nice to be able to grab whenever one needs to squirt a more pleasant scent into the air.

Every time I give someone a spritzer gift, they want to learn how to make them too. I always explain that spritzing is a quick way to freshen the air, but to get even more added benefit from therapeutic-grade essential oils, is to diffuse the essential oils into the air.

Read more about diffusing essential oils and the benefits of diffusing.

A really great way to get started and to have several of the above oils I have listed, is to purchase our Start Living with Everyday Oils. This kit includes the Lavender, Peppermint, Lemon, Thieves, Peace & Calming & Purification. The kit also includes three more oils that are not on the above list, which are Frankincense, and the blends of Valor and PanAway.

This is a great way to get started using Young Livings Therapeutic-grade essential oils. You can get started right a way, by becoming a wholesale customer and begin saving 24% on the products you purchase. If you would like to learn more please click here.

If by chance you are looking to find a way to make extra money during the holidays and even year round, being a Young Living Independent Distributor is an excellent way to do this. I am here to help you along that journey, to share information on essential oils and our products, and how to start and grow your business. It is not about selling. One of the easy ways to get peoples attention, is by wearing the oils. Just like I mentioned previously, when you spritz yourself, people do comment on the scent and this opens up a conversation. If this is something that interests you, please let me know, and you can also read more information about starting a Young Living business.

I hope that I have given you some fun and easy ideas for gifts that can go a long ways and be well appreciated. I would love to hear from you, to see if this has helped you, and to hear your feedback. So if you have any questions about this fun and easy gift making ideas, or for more ideas, please contact me.

And please Note: All essential oils are NOT created equal. Most essential oils are of lower quality. Therefore, do NOT use the information provided here for other brands. Learn why quality is so important.

Healthy Additional Income

October 7, 2009 in Additional Income, Aromatherapy, Essential Oil Supplements, Make Money, Professional Wellness Products, Wholesale / Member, Young Living Business / Sharing, Young Living Distributor by Tammy Baile | No comments

woman-money-people As a homemaker, my job is at home, taking care of my family. As a single income home, and with the economy crises going on we (like everyone) look for every area we can where we can make some cuts. However, there is one area we will not make cuts in, and that is the area of our health. We know that without the help of Young Livings products we would not have the health we now have, and we would not have sailed through the flu’s, colds, and God knows what else with mild symptoms while other families were forced to go to emergency rooms. In this sense I guess you could say that Young Living has saved us both financially and emotionally.

A healthy family may be the best part, but this isn’t all. As a wholesale member I enjoy 24% off the prices you will see when you go visit Young Livings site. This opportunity is open to everyone, not just professionals with degrees! Our family also made the choice for Essential Rewards Auto-ship- an optional feature to receive shipments every month and in return get discount shipping rates, and FREE products. I have done the math, and if we were not getting our products with Young Living, we would be getting them elsewhere. With all the discounts, and free products, and with a very small handful of distributors under me (only around 3 presently) the cost of the products is comparable to what I would be driving to the health-food store, some products come to less. For me, it is less expensive to have the products come to my door as the nearest health-food store is nearly 50 miles away, especially with children (as any mom knows what it is like going shopping with her children). ningxia-red-people

This still isn’t all though. With Young Living there is an opportunity for a stay at home mom like me to earn extra income. So not only will your health needs taken care of, but by signing up even one person you will earn money, and this makes the wonderful products Young Living provides cost even less. I know of people who were able to quit their jobs because they worked up to full time jobs helping people through building a business with Young Livings wonderful compensation plan. As a stay at home mom and wife, any pressure I can take off my husband in his stressful job of providing for our family is a good thing, especially in this economy. Another great factor to building a business with Young Living is it creates an opportunity to connect with and make new friends!
