Young Living Thieves Household Cleaner is an excellent, fantastic product. In our family, we use it all the time, just about every day. I’m so glad they created it, as I truely don’t know what my family would do without it.

That said, there are times we have run out of the Thieves cleaner without warning. This happened a few months ago. I sat there and said to myself, “Well now what am I supposed to do”. No way did I want to run to the store and buy any toxic chemical cleaning product. So, I cracked open all 3 of my Essential Oil Desk references and went to work. I came up with a blend that smells fantastic, and cleans even better. The best part of discovering this was…. I’ll NEVER EVER be without an organic all natural essential oil cleaner now. no matter what. And, every single time I use it to clean something, the next person who walks in my house ALWAYS says “what is that wonderful smell?”. Some of the oils used have positive uplifting emotional properties as well, so, I wonder if it actually makes me happier while I clean!

My cleaner is an Uplifting Household Multi Surface Cleaner, is a totally Non toxic, chemical free all natural, organic, therapeutic grade essential oil multi surface green cleaner. I’m calling it “Uplift”.

We all have to clean surfaces in our homes every day, multiple times per day. I personally can not stand the smell of most of the cleaners currently on the market, and I certainly can not stand reading their list of ingredients. Can you read and understand their list of ingredients? I can’t. Why not look some of them up and see for yourself exactly what chemicals are in the cleaning products you are using every day on your countertops, kitchen table, baby’s toys and food tray, etc.

We are surrounded by cancer causing chemicals everywhere, in the air we breath, the water we drink, the food we eat, and mostly in the products we use in our homes to clean. To the best of my knowledge, there is no cleaning product on the market that is safe to use around food. What does that tell you? It tells me a lot! If I can’t use it around food, then what’s the real deal if my hand is soaking wet with it from cleaning? After all, our skin is the largest organ we have, and 66% of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our bodies, so just how much of these toxic chemicals are we absorbing both through the skin on our hands, and through inhalation when we spray it? I don’t know how much, but I do know the correct answer is TOO MUCH!!

Using only 10 pure, organic, Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils, I have put together a totally non toxic green all natural household cleaner. This cleaner has anti bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, deodorizing, highly antimicrobial, mold reducing and disinfectant properties, and this cleaner is safe to use around food and children. It Cleanses and disinfects the air and neutralizes mildew, cigarette smoke, and any other disagreeable odors as you clean

It is safe to, quite literally soak your hands in it. It has an uplifting refreshing fragrance as well, and is safe to use around food.

I especially go crazy using it during cold and flu season, I spray a rag and wipe down the phone, TV clicker, etc.

I personally feel it cleans better then anything else I’ve ever used, and it cleans quickly and easily. Literally, spray and wipe. No scrubbing required. I clean everything from the kitchen counter, to the bathtub, with 1 swipe. I LOVE it.

It “tackles the tough jobs” without me having to resort to buying a toxic, chemical laden scrubbing bubbles type product, or whatever other chemical. I’m so happy!!

Additionally, a number of the oils used in this cleaning blend have positive emotional properties, like: helping to overcome mental fatigue and improves mental clarity and focus, it may be beneficial in helping to overcome fatigue and exhaustion after illness, uplifting, antidepressant, calming, relaxing, and balancing, both physically and emotionally. So, in a nut shell, you may actually feel better about cleaning while cleaning! How fun is that!!!

Why not give this non toxic, chemical free all natural, organic, therapeutic grade essential oil multi surface green cleaner a try. If it doesn’t become your absolute favorite cleaner, which would surprise me, what have you lost?

Remember to shake well and often, as the 10 different pure essential oils will separate from each other. If you have a very, very tough cleaning project, my suggestion would be to spray the area with the cleaner, wait 10 minutes to allow the essential oils to fully penetrate the stain, and then wipe clean.

Available at headandhoof.com in 16 ounce and 24 ounce size spray bottle.

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

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

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

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

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

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

4. I Can’t Sleep Rule

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Their Poisonous Ingredient

Menthol
Methyl salicylate

Where Found

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

Symptoms

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Inflammation is characterized by any number of symptoms, including:

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

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

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

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

What causes the symptoms of inflammation?

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

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

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

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

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

School Study Tip: Aromatherapy to Get Better Test Scores

September 25, 2011 in Anxiety, Aromatherapy, Best Essential Oils, Blends, Common Questions, Education, Kids, Mental Clarity / Studying, Muscle Tension / Fatigue, Natural, Peppermint, Smell / Olfactory, Stress, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil, Using Essential Oils, Young Living Essential Oils by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

When it comes time to studying for exams, no matter the age, sometimes focus, comprehension and clarity can be difficult. Simply inhaling any of these essential oils provides the brain with alertness and the ability to concentrate better.

Want good test scores: use the same essential oil during test-taking that you used during studying to facilitate recall!

The fragrance of a therapeutic-grade essential oil can directly affect everything from your emotional state to your lifespan. When a fragrance is inhaled, the odor molecules travel up the nose where they are trapped by olfactory membranes that are well protected by the lining inside the nose. Each odor molecule fits like a little puzzle piece into specific receptor cell sites that line a membrane known as the olfactory epithelium. Each one of these hundreds of millions of nerve cells is replaced every 28 days. When stimulated by odor molecules, this lining of nerve cells triggers electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb in the brain. The olfactory bulb then transmits the impulses to the gustatory center (where the sensation of taste is perceived), the amygdala (where emotional memories are stored), and other parts of the limbic system of the brain. Because the limbic system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance, essential oils can have profound physiological and psychological effects.

5 good Young Living therapeutic-grade essential oils for focus, retention, recall and comprehension are:

1) Brain Power™ Essential Oil Blend (#3313)

Brain Power™ gives your brain a boost with essential oils that are high in sesquiterpenes. Use it to clarify thought and develop greater focus.
How to use Brain Power™: For aromatic use and topically. Apply 1-2 drops over the back of the neck, on the temples, on the soles of the feet, or 1 drop under the tongue.
Ingredients in Brain Power™: Sandalwood (Santalum album), Cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica), melissa (Melissa officinalis), frankincense (Boswellia carteri), blue cypress (Callitris intratropica), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), and helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum).

2) Clarity™ Essential Oil Blend (#3321) Clarity Essential Oil Blend

Clarity™promotes a clear mind and alertness. It contains stimulating oils including peppermint and rosemary, which have been used for many years to promote mental sharpness. A study performed by Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati found that inhaling peppermint oil increased the mental accuracy of students by 28 percent. Clarity can also be used to help restore mental alertness or wakefulness when you are experiencing fatigue or drowsiness.
How to use Clarity™: For aromatic use and topically. Diffuse; put in bath water; put on cotton ball in air vents. Apply on temples, wrists, and neck.
Ingredients in Clarity™: Basil (Ocimum basilicum), cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), peppermint (Mentha piperita), rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora), geranium (Pelargonium graveolens), lemon (Citrus limon), palmarosa (Cymbopogon martini), ylang ylang (Cananga odorata), bergamot (Citrus bergamia), Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile), and jasmine (Jasminum officinale).

3) Magnify Your Purpose™ Essential Oil Blend (#3377)

Magnify Your Purpose™ is a specially crafted blend of essential oils that stimulates creativity, desire, focus, and motivation. It helps foster a positive attitude, encouraging you to rise above adversity, seize the initiative, overcome procrastination and self-pity, and magnify your life’s purpose.
How to use Magnify Your Purpose™: For aromatic use and topically. Diffuse; apply two to four drops on wrists or temples; or add to warm bath water with approximately two tablespoons of Bath Gel Base or Epson salts. Dilute with V-6™ Massage Oil (a Young Living carrier oil) for an uplifting massage.

Highest Potential™ is an exotic blend designed to increase your capacity to achieve your highest potential. It combines the uplifting and inspirational qualities of Australian Blue with the power of Gathering to help bring greater unity of purpose. Jasmine is added to enhance self-confidence, while ylang ylang calms, soothes, and harmonizes.
How to use Highest Potential™: For topical or aromatic use. Diffuse; apply two to four drops on wrists or temples; or add to warm bath water with approximately two tablespoons of Bath Gel Base or Epson salts. Dilute with V-6™ Massage Oil (a Young Living carrier oil) for an uplifting massage.

5) Peppermint Essential Oil (#3614) Peppermint essential oil

Peppermint (Mentha piperita) has a strong, clean, fresh, minty aroma. One of the oldest and most highly regarded herbs for soothing digestion, it may also restore digestive efficiency.* Jean Valnet MD studied peppermint’s supportive effect on the liver and respiratory systems. Other scientists have also researched peppermint’s role in improving taste and smell when inhaled. Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati studied peppermint’s ability to improve concentration and mental sharpness. Alan Hirsch MD studied peppermint’s ability to directly affect the brain’s satiety center, which triggers a sensation of fullness after meals. This powerful essential oil is often diluted before topical application. Peppermint may also be used to enhance the flavor of food and water.
How to use Peppermint Essential Oil: For dietary, aromatic, or topical use. When using as a supplement, dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid such as goat’s or rice milk.
Ingredients in Peppermint: Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ peppermint (Mentha piperita) essential oil.

Researchers in Germany have conducted a controlled study investigating the effects of lavender essential oil on anxiety disorders. Lavender has long been regarded for its soothing and balancing properties.

At the end of the ten-week study, the authors concluded that lavender significantly reduced the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) scores of patients who were treated with the essential oil and not a placebo.

Effectiveness of a Lavender Oil Preparation in Treating Anxiety Disorder

Kasper S, Gastpar M, Müller WE, et al. Silexan, an orally administered Lavandula oil preparation, is effective in the treatment of ‘subsyndromal’ anxiety disorder: a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial. Int Clin Psychopharmacol. 2010;25(5):277-287.

Excerpts:

“According to the authors, all clinical trials published to date that evaluated lavender as a treatment for anxiety were performed in highly specific patient populations (e.g., patients with a terminal illness, in intensive care, or who have situation provoked anxiety), and many of the studies were methodologically flawed. Hence, the purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo- controlled multicenter study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of an oral preparation of lavender essential oil.”

“At 10 weeks, the lavender group had a significant reduction in HAMA score compared with baseline (P < 0.001), but the placebo group did not. The lavender-treated patients had a total mean score decrease of 16.0 ± 8.3 points (59.3%) for the HAMA. In contrast, the placebo-treated patients had a decrease of 9.5 ± 9.1 points (35.4%) on HAMA. The anxiolytic effect of lavender was clinically detectable after 2 weeks of treatment and was statistically significant at week 4 and all later visits (P < 0.05). Extrapolating the HAMA total score time course beyond 10 weeks suggests that additional improvements might occur if treatment were to be continued beyond 10 weeks. Lavender treatment was superior to placebo regarding the percentage of responders (76.9% vs. 49.1%, P < 0.001) and remitters (60.6% vs. 42.6%, P = 0.009).

Sleep disturbances frequently accompany anxiety disorders. The lavender treatment had a significant beneficial influence on the patients’ duration and quality of sleep and reduced their daytime tiredness. The lavender-treated patients had a total mean score decrease of 5.5 ± 4.4 points (44.7%) on the PSQI, whereas the placebo-treated patients had a decrease of 3.8 ± 4.1 points (30.9%). The sleep improvement was detectable after 2 weeks of treatment and became statistically significant after 6 weeks of treatment (P ≤ 0.01).”

Feeling Ungrounded, Disconnected and Flighty? Try Aromatherapy!

September 6, 2011 in Alternative Therapies, Aromatherapy, Buy / Purchase, Common Questions, Education, Emotional Release, How do I use, Inspirational, Lifestyle, Love, Mind / Body / Soul, Natural Health, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil, Using Essential Oils, Wellness, Young Living Essential Oils by Evelyn Vincent | 1 comment

Benefits of Aromatherapy and why it is Empowering: Our sense of smell is 10,000 times greater than our sense of taste. When we smell a scent it stimulates nerves in the nose and sends impulses to the brain, going directly to our olfactory to the limbic system, which is our connection to our emotions in the brain. Aromatherapy with therapeutic essential oils can compliment other therapies and play a significant role in assisting us when we are just feeling a bit off, stuck or need a little help getting to the emotional place we wish to be in. Using therapeutic aromatherapy is a means by which we honor and display love to ourselves. Grounding Essential Oil Blend

Try Grounding™ essential oil blend when you are feeling emotionally disconnected and somewhat unstable. Grounding is a relaxing and balancing blend of essential oils that provides a stabilizing influence. Emotional chaos can lead to poor decisions. Grounding™ may help you to cope with reality in a positive manner.

Grounding™ contains the essential oils of:

Spruce (Picea mariana) helps to open and release emotional blocks, creating a feeling of balance and grounding.

White Fir (Abies concolor) creates a feeling of grounding, anchoring, and empowerment.

Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) increases relaxation; balances male and female energies. It also restores confidence and equilibrium.

Pine (Pinus sylvestris) helps reduce stress, relieve anxiety, and energize the entire body. Has a grounding, yet empowering aromatic effect.

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 has been used for stabilizing and grounding oneself.

Angelica (Angelica archangelica) helps to bring memories back to the point of origin before trauma or anger was experienced, helping us to release negative feelings.

Juniper (Juniperus osteosperma and J. scopulorum) elevates spiritual awareness creating feelings of love and peace.

4 Ways to Use Grounding™ Essential Oil Blend
