Unusual Ways to use Essential Oils

When it comes to using your essential oils, have you tried thinking outside the box? This month I'd like to share some uses for Young Living essential oils that you may not have thought of.

Lavender

· House plants love Lavender! Add it to the water when you mist them. You can also put a few drops directly on the soil or, for cut flowers, add to the water and watch them perk up!

Lemon

· Instead of a chemical product, use Lemon oil to remove "goo."

· Use one drop of Lemon oil morning and night on corns, calluses and bunions.

Peppermint

· Use Peppermint oil to stop a hot flash by applying to the back of your neck. (It’s even easier if you convert the bottle to a roll-on with an AromaGlide roller fitment!)

Thieves and Purification

· Put a drop of Thieves blend on your toothbrush before your toothpaste. (Note: Young Living also has several non-fluoride toothpastes based on the Thieves blend.)

· Use Thieves Household Cleaner, diluted as directed, to clean fruits and vegetables. Spray on, rub thoroughly, and rinse with water.

· Put a few drops of Purification or Thieves on a cotton ball and place in air vents to help purify the air and add a clean scent.

· Add 50 drops of Purification to a gallon of paint to eliminate the odor.

· Use Purification to help heal cold sores.

Geranium

· Geranium is great for shrinking pimples.

Joy

· Try Joy to help overcome feelings of grief or depression.

Other great uses

Add empty oil bottles to a bath. (Remove the lid and stopper and add all pieces.)

Rub tired feet with a little PanAway, Aroma Siez or Deep Relief, then pull on socks and they'll feel great in the morning!

Many oils can be used when cooking or baking. (I only recommend Young Living oils, especially for this use, because they are pure, therapeutic grade.)

Let me know your favorite ways to use essential oils – either email me or share them on my Facebook page!!

Using Essential Oils for Insect Bites

Due to their antiseptic properties, Young Living essential oils are very effective for treating a variety of insect bites. Some of the more common pests – along with the best oils for treating their bite or sting – are listed below:

Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes love me! If I am around, no one else gets bitten. I have found that applying Purification to the bite quickly reduces the swelling and stops the itching. You can also try Melrose, Citronella, Lavender, Eucalyptus Globulus, Tea Tree, Peppermint, Rosemary or PanAway.

Bee Stings

For bee stings, try Melrose, Lavender, Idaho Tansy, Peppermint, Wintergreen, Purification or PanAway.

Spider Bites

For Black Widow or Brown Recluse spider bites, seek emergency care immediately. Until you reach the treatment center, apply Purification, Thieves or PanAway every 10 minutes.

Chiggers and Ticks

For chigger and tick bites, you need to remove the insect before treating the bite. Sometimes smothering the chiggers helps. A recently blown out match head applied to the tick may cause it to let go, but be careful to only touch the tick. You can also try mixing Oregano and Thyme 50:50 and applying 1-2 drops over the bite area. The insects will usually squirm to get away from the oils. After removing the culprit, treat the bites with any of the following: Tea Tree, Peppermint, Lavender, Rosemary, Melrose, Thieves or R.C.

2013 Young Living Essential Oils Convention

Me with my good friend and mentor, Julie Ferguson

The theme at this year’s Young Living convention in Salt Lake City was BELIEVE. Think about it – to manifest, you must first BELIEVE. This idea was emphasized throughout the convention by the introduction of new products and a line-up of excellent keynote speakers.

Several new products were introduced, starting with a reformulated Believe essential oil blend. It now includes Idaho Blue Spruce (which is proving to be very effective when used to help release the trauma behind emotional issues).

Other new or improved items include:

· Stress Away oil blend, which is now available in bottles as well as roll-ons;

· Sample packets of the five most popular oils: Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Thieves, and Peace & Calming;

· Two new blends developed to use with "Oola: Find Balance in an Unbalanced World," by Dave Braun and Troy Amdahl, Oola Grow and Oola Balance;

· Thieves AromaBright toothpaste and improved Thieves dental floss;

· Slique Bars* (nutritious snack) ;

· Exotic Oils Collection*: Hong Kuai and Xiang Mao/Taiwan; Yuzu/Japan; Amazonian Ylang Ylang and Plectranthus Oregano/Ecuador; Micromeria/Israel; and Biblical Sweet Myrrh/Arabia; and

· Ningia Nitro,* an all-natural, energy-type drink for cognitive fitness that increases focus, acuity, and performance.

See all of the new convention products here.

*Available at convention only for now.

The fabulous speakers included:

· D. Gary Young, ND, founder of Young Living;

· Darren Hardy, author and publisher of Success magazine;

· Wayne Dyer, PhD (I was fortunate to receive a "transcript" of Dr. Dyer's presentation – click here to read it courtesy of a fellow convention attendee.); and

· Actor/author Clint Walker, who shared his secrets of vitality at age 86, which includes many Young Living products.

Every year the convention seems better than ever! If you would like more information about the products or how to attend the next convention, please contact me. You can also visit my Young Living website at https://www.youngliving.org/joycestephens.
