Seeds of Thyme Answers About Frankincense

Liz James · October 10, 2023 ·

Good word from Seeds of Thyme ๐ŸŒฟ. My two all-time personal favorite ways to use Frankincense are:
โค๏ธ as an ingredient in my easy-peasy DIY face serum
and
โค๏ธ as an ingredient in the most miraculous DIY “pain bomb” capsule
(ok, 3 ways!๐Ÿ˜‰)
โค๏ธ as an ingredient in my easy peasy all purpose nasal spray. (I’ve probably gifted a couple hundred of these bottles of amazingness over the last 10 years and taught hundreds more how to make them).
God-given goodness ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ.

Heart Rate Variability

Liz James · October 4, 2023 ·

What is Heart Rate Variability? ๐Ÿค”… and why would it matter to each one of us?
In a nutshell:
ย 
๐Ÿ‘‰HRV is a scientific measurement of the body’s overall health.
๐Ÿ‘‰Overall health is determined by the body’s capability to recover and adapt to changes in the environment.
๐Ÿ‘‰The ultimate measurement of health is Heart Rate Variability.
๐Ÿ‘‰A consistently low HRV is consistent with poor or declining health.
ย 
I was reading about HRV a few weeks ago, and I wondered if essential oils could have an impact on improving our ability to “bounce back”. Being the super curious nerd that I am, I started researching and found some super interesting studies. I won’t include all that I found here, but I did want to share one compilation with you. ๐Ÿ’–
It’s so easy to become complacent in what we do. Sometimes we fall off the wagon because we forget the “why” we fell in love with something in the first place.
Use your oils daily and often! For the “just the facts” crowd, here’s the abbreviated outcome. Lavender improves Heart Rate Variability which helps the body more quickly move from the Sympathetic Nervous system response (fight, flight, or freeze) into Parasympathetic Response (rest, recover, and digest).
Who is your buddy when you need help bouncing back? ๐Ÿ˜‰….. Lavender!

Science Confirms Effectivity of Turmeric

Liz James · September 28, 2023 ·

Someone met me the other day and said, “Oh, you’re the rebel pharmacist!” Why yes, I’ll carry that title proudly (tho I prefer to think of myself as well-rounded and not afraid to speak the truth! ๐Ÿ˜‰)
One of the pharma science fields I really love is called pharmacognosy… ” the branch of knowledge concerned with medicinal drugs obtained from plants and other natural resources.”
“It’ll never work “….. says who? ๐Ÿค”
Do you ever wonder why more doctors don’t suggest something like turmeric (which has stellar success in supporting a healthy inflammatory response)? There are, in fact over 2600 studies on the effects of turmeric in the body. In fact, turmeric has been found to compare favorably to a variety of pharma products (you’ll need to read the attached article to fully understand how important this piece of information is….. legit. ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ™Œ
Which brings me to this question: YL’s Golden Turmeric. Have you tried it?
  • A combo of Turmeric, Boswellia resin (Frank baby!), and ginger working together to support the body’s natural response to inflammation, immune response, joint health, mobility, and recovery.
  • The unique water-dispersible Golden Turmeric makes it 24X more bioavailable than standard turmeric extracts. Example: the tiny 1/2 tsp scoop of golden turmeric (300mg) is equivalent to 1,926mg of standard extracts found elsewhere. (I don’t know about you, but if I was battling something that was affecting my quality of life, I’d go for the big guns! ๐Ÿ˜‰)
  • Bonus points! Golden Turmeric also contains prebiotics to support healthy digestion and a healthy happy microbiome (essential for a well-functioning gut-brain axis, right?).
  • How to use it? Mix 1/2 teaspoon in 6-8 oz of water, juice, or milk of choice and enjoy once daily!
Who knows….. you might even be able to avoid a pharma ๐Ÿ’Š or two in the process! (And THAT would be a very very good thing!)
Have you been able to kick something to the curb because of a YL product? Do tell… I’d love to hear your stories! ๐Ÿ˜

Young Living Continues Its Scientific Excellence

Liz James · September 14, 2023 ·

I love that Young Living is on a constant quest to give us the very best. Not all essential oils are created equally… I’d never even consider asking a WallyWorld or even a Whole Foods brand to do what I’ve asked YL oils to do over the years. There’s a reason for that.๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿค“
ย 
If I’m going to ask an oil to “do something “, I need for it to be able to consistently “do that thing”, and I also need to trust that the oil is even capable of “doing that thing”. Do you trust your oils enough to rely on them to “do that thing”?
Drop a GIF that represents one “thing” your EO’s help with.

Seed to Seal Science pillar: Advanced instrumentation (EA-IRMS)
I would like to introduce you to our newly installed arrivals in the Young Living Analytical Laboratory at GHQ: Elemental Analyzers (EA) for the Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometers (IRMS)!
ย 
Our new Thermo Scientific EA IsoLink #IRMS Systems perform automated isotopic analysis of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen using bulk samples (solids like plant leaves, branches, flowers or resin, or liquids like essentials oils and vanilla).
These EA systems provide precise and sensitive measurement of #isotope fingerprintsโ€” carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen isotopesโ€” creating a unique chemical signature of each sample. This will provide our #scientists unique insights into the history and origin of #plant sources from around the #world.
ย 
These new EA systems support Young Living’s unending quest to combat adulteration of essential oils and are proof of #YL‘s continued support of our world-leading #authenticity program at the D. Gary Young Research Institute.
