Essential Oils

Be Prepared to Support Self-Healing

Liz James · May 26, 2023 ·

These products (along with a few others) literally saved my tooshie this month. I used points to replace what I’ve used to keep myself out of the world of mainstream medicine. So basically… except for shipping… I received free health and wellness tool replacements.

We each have the capacity to self-heal if we are willing to do the work beforehand. What does that mean

Practice on the small stuff, so you tread confidently when the big stuff goes down. (The Month of May was one of those rare occasions for me for the big stuff).

Always take advantage of any education that comes your way. Some of the best education comes in the form of personal stories. (This month of May gave me a doozie!

to tell… and I will report here, soon). Take good notes… you just never know when the application of knowledge becomes extremely important to the mind, body, and to our bank account.

What’s one of your biggest “this saved me” YL personal stories you’ve experienced?

Fireside Chat Heart Health with Young Living

Liz James · April 30, 2023 ·

Well well well….. that 1 pm call was very interesting. The 8 pm call will be more of the same but with different stories and different speakers.

I love learning from other people’s stories!

Some of the topics that were already covered at the noon call:

Emotional source of HBP issue and complimentary oil solutions story

A heart arrhythmia story and what worked for them

A congestive heart disease story and what worked for them

A panic attack (which can feel like a heart attack) and what worked for them

The truth about Cholesterol (it’s not the villain) and Inflammation

Heart Vitaflex Points

A physiological blood pressure problem and what worked for them (two separate stories).

Oils for Reynaud’s

Oils and Supplements for Neuropathy

I’m curious about what tidbits the 8 pm CST call will hold for us!

Be informed so you can be the best CEO of your own body and also help those you love.

Remember: There’s a time and a place for medication (I lean towards emergent care as an example of this), but by and large, medication has consequences…… medication adverse events (whether that be in combo with other meds or a stand-alone event.. it’s all in the same grouping) are the #3 cause of death in the USA. It used to be listed as such….. now that sneaky CDC has it listed as “unintentional injuries” so as to avoid calling out the role Big Pharma plays in deaths (soooo sneaky

)

These calls are NOT recorded.

1:00 pm CT and again at 8:00 pm CT

If you are currently a member of Young Living and would like to attend this evening’s call, please PM me.

If you aren’t yet a member of YL, but would like to be included in calls like this in the future, please PM me.

The ‘𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞’ has everything you need to add a little bit of sunshine to your space (not to mention a steady support of oxytocin production! It’s hard for excess cortisol to hijack your day when oxytocin is in charge!

). These oils are great for diffusing, cleaning and creating DIYs, and this beautiful diffuser will enhance any room!

If your mouth is watering right about now, and your mind has drifted off towards a tall glass of lemonade, I don’t blame you…. Luscious Lemon is diffused almost daily in my office. My body craves it. If you’d like your own set, here’s a link: https://bit.ly/Lovin-lemons

April “No foolin” Freebies

Liz James · April 1, 2023 ·

NO FOOLIN’! APRIL IS HERE, AND SO ARE SOME FANTASTIC FREEBIES WITH PURCHASE THIS MONTH

Do you know your oils? Remember friends, YL oils are products with a purpose. While smelling great does fulfill a purpose, there are other actions these two house faves accomplish as well.

YL Orange essential oil is happy

in a bottle. I recently read a study about the positive/supportive effects of simply smelling orange essential oil on the production of oxytocin in the body. Oxytocin is a “feel good” hormone that gives us the “warm fuzzies” (it plays a pivotal role in social bonding, reproduction, childbirth, and post-childbirth). When oxytocin is produced, it trumps the production of “fight or flight” cortisol. Considering the amount of stress the average person is under nowadays….. I think “they” should be dumping this stuff from planes! Not likely that will happen…… but we can add it to our diffuser, and “diffuse the situation” or create a happy calm environment in our sphere of influence.

YL Lemongrass essential oil is another one of my faves. I personally use it internally to support “an unhealthy environment for candida” (3 drops in a capsule…. it comes as a Vitality/white label….. remember that no matter the label color….. it’s the SAME oil inside the bottle. It’s an FDA requirement that if a supplement or RX can be used more than one way, it has to have two different labels). If used topically, it must be diluted with a carrier oil …. it’s a hot oil but it has so many benefits. Check out the Research section on the YL page of each oil.

I’ll use Lemongrass as an example here…. all these studies are on the Lemongrass page:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22675383/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4149144/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4149144/ (14 Day Resetters…. ya’ll will find this one particularly interesting!

…. our next Reset starts April 10th…. please message me if you are interested in participating)

Gut health is one of my passions….. because if your gut isn’t healthy….. guaranteed… you won’t be either. MightyPro is a pre and probiotic for kids and adults alike. It tastes like a treat, but the real treat is that it’s a healthy habit that benefits gut health (and therefore total body health and immune support). Research has shown that poor gut health as a child can have far reaching effects throughout adulthood (poor gut health as a child contributes to developing obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, depression, and even cancer later in life). It’s TOTALLY worth it to support gut health at all times in life…. not the least of which is as a kid. Get your free bag of MightyPro this month, and begin investing in their future health if you haven’t already been doing so.

This last one…… I think this might be the first time we’ve ever been offered a CBD product for free as a monthly gift! Soothe CBD roll-on is loaded with THC-free, full spectrum CBD, peppermint, Copaiba, and 4 eucalyptus essential oil types. You know I love a multi-use product….. not only will this powerhouse roller be a great addition to the gym bag for sore muscles

, it is also a FANTASTIC item to keep on hand when your lungs

might not be working so well (ie: you’ve fallen below the wellness line and the respiratory system needs a little TLC).

I’m a science girl

…. and I realize this post leans heavily on the science side of things…… So thankful that Young Living makes products with a purpose…. and almost always MULTIPLE purposes for each product. They can do that because God made plants to do that for us, and YL just harnesses the goodness He gave us and puts it in forms we can easily grab and go!

Happy April friends! Oh yes….. I almost forgot! When you are a Loyalty Rewards subscriber, you get 10 free bonus points (1 point = 1 dollar) with a 100+PV order!

If you’d like to partake in the YL lifestyle, here’s a link to become a member: https://bit.ly/3oFccZj

If you’d like to partake in the 14Day Reset…. next one starts April 1st, and you will need a good supply of NingXia Red ….. it’s the secret sauce to the Reset. Even if you drink NingXia Red daily…. the way it’s used in the rest will likely impress you with results. Here’s a link for the most cost-effective NingXia: https://bit.ly/14-Day-Reset.

The Cost of Health

Liz James · March 17, 2023 ·

These questions are so important. Frankly, questions like this ( per industry specifics) aren’t asked nearly enough in nearly every industry we all use (including banking

) because, we live in an age where convenience usually takes precedent over integrity and value…… all to our detriment.

Taking a medication for a symptom is faster than finding a root cause and addressing it in a slower holistic fashion, but…….. at what cost long term?

Running through a fast food drive through is faster than meal prepping, but…… at what cost long term?

Choosing 2 hrs on the couch watching TV or scrolling is “more relaxing” than working out, but….. at what cost long term?

Letting someone else be the primary decisionmaker about your own health is easier than being an informed medical consumer, but….. at what cost long term?

I could build a much longer list here, but I think you get what I’m saying.

Do your own research.

Learn which companies value purpose and integrity over profit, and honor them with your business.

There is a priceless value to doing things “the slow way” that extend far beyond a fine wine, well aged cheese, or a loaf of wildcaught yeast sourdough bread

Chris Bowerbank:

“World Leader in Essential Oils” is emblazoned on Young Living’s Global Headquarters (GHQ) building. I see this every day when coming to work at the D. Gary Young Research Institute.

I like to break it down into specific categories as a stress test to see where we can continue to innovate and lead the #essentialoils market.

For example: World Leader in Essential Oils _________ (fill in the blank).

World Leader in Essential Oils plant research (Tyler Wilson)

World Leader in Essential Oils supply chain (Michelle Shinn YL and the SSBO)

World Leader in Essential Oils authentication testing (R&D)

World Leader in Essential Oils quality testing (Quality Control Laboratory)

World Leader in Essential Oils products with purpose (thanks #Gary & Mary!)

…and on and on.

Are there areas that #YL can improve? Of course, and that is where those of us who work at Young Living corporate find our drive and inspiration to continue leading our industry.

To give you a #science perspective, we ask questions such as:

Are there additional #tests we can perform to assess essential oil authenticity and #quality?

Can we improve our EO #distillation technology?

Is there new #chemistry technology for the #laboratory that we should evaluate?

Are there #sustainable and responsibly #harvested plant #species that we should evaluate for their EO’s?

Are there natural personal care or nutrition ingredients that we should introduce as new or reformulated #YL products?

There is no other company in our industry who puts more time, funding and commitment into research, development, and testing. I am #ylproud and love our #WeAreYL tribe.
