Books on Essential Oils

· ·

Good morning! I saw this list in my email box this morning, and wanted to add a few thoughts for those health professionals out there (or those science minds who want even more science).
The first book I ever bought (and interestingly it was the one that convinced me to go with Young Living even though it is not YL specific) is Essential Oil Safety by Tisserand and Young. The first several chapters outline all the important features of a quality essential oil ( I knew immediately YL was the choice for me after reading this VIP information)!
The next book I bought is Aromatherapy for Health Professionals by Price and Price. It’s a FABULOUS book and loaded with very precise information on therapeutic properties of essential oils.
Another great book is Evidence Based Essential Oil Therapy by Dr. Scott A. Johnson. It is a concise easy to read resource with hundreds (if not thousands) of cited studies you can access online if you want to dive into deep science.

Dry Skin Solutions

· ·

Dry skin is something so many of us struggle with in the winter months. We slather on lotions and creams and it can seem like a constant battle. Dry skin does tend to get worse in the winter because our bodies don’t seem to crave water as much and drinks like coffee or hot chocolate (or soda) don’t solve the problem. It’s us to up to be the watchdog and caregiver of ourselves!
Other signs of winter dehydration:
  1. Dark colored urine (it should be light colored to clear)
  2. Sweating or finding you don’t need to visit the bathroom as often.
  3. fatigue (very common symptom of dehydration!)
  4. Dry mouth
  5. Headaches
  6. Sugar cravings (dehydration makes it harder to break down glycogen which releases glucose/energy to the bloodstream. This leads to craving sweet treats)
Unless you have a medical condition, be sure to drink at least half your body weight in fluid ounces daily (ex: 200lb person will need to drink 100 oz of water daily). If drinking plain water isn’t your jam, add in the YL Vitality Drops (electrolytes) for a tasty alternative! (available as Lavender Lemonade or Bergamot Grapefruit).

God’s creation is so amazing down to the tiniest details!

—Plants Produce and Store Essential Oils Within
Essential Oils within the Plant Parts
 
Essential oils found in trees, bushes, seeds, roots and leaves are produced by cells WITHIN the center of the plant. Most of these central cells resemble beach balls or drinking straws.
 
Essential oil in SEEDS: carrot, anise, fennel, dill, caraway
Essential oil in BARK: cinnamon bark, cassia bark
Essential oil in ROOTS: valerian root, ginger root, vetiver root
Essential oil in LEAVES & NEEDLES: cinnamon leaf, pine needles, fir needles, spruce needles
Essential oil in TREES: pine, fir, spruce, juniper, cedarwood, sandalwood, hinoki
Essential oil in OLEOGUM-RESIN: frankincense, myrrh, copaiba, elemi, pine, spruce
Essential oil in FLOWER PETALS: rose, ylang ylang, clove bud, neroli
Essential oil in CITRUS PEELS: orange, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, mandarin, lime
 
Aromatic plants produce and store essential oil molecules on the surface and central regions of leaves, stems, roots, seeds, flowers, and wood. You’ve experienced plant essential oils many times and may not have known it.
 
EXPERIMENT. Go to your spice rack or drawer. Take out each spice and take a whiff. Now do the same for essential oils. You will find the aroma is STRONGER for the essential oils because their aroma is concentrated. ……..Cole Woolley, PhD. #colewoolleyphd

Vitamin D Levels

· ·

I mentioned Vitamin D two days ago. Roughly 42% of the US population is deficient according to Western Medicine standards (below 30 ng/ml). There’s a big difference between being barely “ok” according to these standards and having healthy levels (optimal levels should be 60-80ng/ml). I suspect 75-80% of the US population is not within optimal levels.
Thank you Dr. Gessling for posting this study.

Make sure you know your lab values for Vitamin D, and make sure you are supplementing if needed. Adequate levels sure makes life more pleasant! 😉
