Happy Valentine's Day!

February is the perfect time to discuss essential oils and blends that can enhance your romantic life.

Two of my favorite Young Living blends to promote romantic feelings are Sensation and Joy. Sensation blends Ylang Ylang, Rosewood, and Jasmine; Joy contains these oils plus a few others, including Rose. Use as perfume, diffuse, or add to bath water.

Aromas such as Rose and Jasmine have been used for thousands of years to attract the opposite sex and to create a romantic atmosphere. Modern research shows that the emotional center of the brain responds to some essential oils, which may explain their potential to help overcome issues such as impotence or frigidity. For these specific conditions, try:

Impotence: Ylang Ylang, Goldenrod, Jasmine, Myrrh, and Frankincense. Inhale, add to baths, or apply topically (avoiding sensitive skin areas). You may also want to try Young Living supplements such as EndoGize and Prostate Health.

Frigidity: Lemongrass, Jasmine, Rose, Frankincense, Geranium, Ylang Ylang, and Clary Sage. Or try these blends: Joy, Sensation, Valor, and Lady Sclareol. Inhale, diffuse, or add to baths.

I hope you enjoy exploring Young Living essential oils and blends for a unique experience!

Young Living Essential Oils and Blends for Dancers!

Two of my passions are Young Living Essential Oils and ballroom dancing.  Below I share with you how I combine the two by using essential oils to remedy some common dancing issues.

           

FOR…	TRY…
Blisters	Single: Lemon Oil
At the first sign of a blister or foot irritation, apply lemon oil.  Very helpful when breaking in new shoes.
Pain, Injuries	Blends: Aroma Siez, PanAway, Deep Relief, Relieve It Singles: Copaiba, Helichrysum, Idaho Tansy, Wintergreen
I like to use PanAway on my feet after a long dance session.  Apply and then pull on some white socks; your feet will feel great the next morning.
Concentration	Blends: Believe, Clarity, Brain Power, Surrender Singles: Rosemary, Basil
Try these when learning new steps or routines and before private lessons.
Courage	Blend: Valor
Great before performing and competitions!
Calming Nerves	Blends: Tranquil, Stress Away, Peace & Calming Single: Lavender
Energy	Blend: En-R-Gee Single: Peppermint
Both will really give you an energy boost. Incorporating essential oils into your dance routine will really make a difference in how you feel…give it a try and let me know how oils have helped you be a better dancer.

Aromatherapy: Beat Holiday Stress!

During the holidays many of us experience more stress than usual, so this seemed like an appropriate topic for this month's blog. No matter how organized you are, there are so many things to do: decorating; gift shopping and wrapping; baking; sending out cards; cleaning the house; preparing for guests and/or parties; attending parties…yikes!

Besides asking for help when you need it (and remembering no one is perfect), use aromatherapy when you feel overwhelmed. There are many Young Living essential oils and blends to relieve stress – and a few that can give you an energy boost when you need it.

For stress, some of my favorite single essential oils are Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Neroli, Cedarwood, Valerian, Jasmine, Sandalwood, Orange, Frankincense, and Ylang Ylang. Blends to try include Valor, Peace and Calming, Harmony, and RutaVala.

When you need an energy boost with no side effects, try Basil, Lemon, Peppermint, Rosemary, and the blends Brain Power, Clarity, En-R-Gee, and Motivation.

You may also want to strengthen your immune system with nutritional supplements, including Super B, Super C, and MegaCal. I also step up my daily dose of NingXia Red and MultiGreens as needed!

I hope these suggestions help you enjoy the true spirit of the holidays. Please contact me if you have any questions or to find the right essential oil or supplement for you.

Wishing you Happy and Safe Holidays!

Aromatherapy for the Cold & Flu Season

Essential oils are a powerful weapon during the cold and flu season. Many oils are anti-viral, so they’re actually effective against these common viruses (as opposed to antibiotics, which only help with bacteria).

As always, prevention is the best treatment. Diffusing essential oils and blends – including Thieves, Purification, R.C., Raven and Sacred Mountain – is very effective for killing germs in your home or office.

Here is my germ-fighting strategy, which I begin at the first sign of trouble:

• Begin taking Inner Defense capsules, 3-4 per day;
• Add 2-3 packages of Emergen-C per day;
• Apply a few drops of Thieves and/or Purification essential oil blends to my feet – and also diffuse these into the air; and
• Increase my daily NingXia Red superfruit supplement from 1 ounce to 2-4 ounces per day.

If you are already sick, Thieves Spray and lozenges are great for a sore throat. For stuffiness and congestion, try Breathe Again or R.C.

ImmuPro chewable tablets support the body's natural immune system defenses, making it a great supplement to have on hand.

In addition, getting regular Raindrop Treatments and lymphatic massages keeps your immune system working its best, making it much easier to ward off germs when faced with exposure.

What an arsenal – and I have only mentioned a few suggestions! Many single essential oils are also very effective. And, no side effects! For more information, please contact me.

(Note: All products except Emergen-C are from Young Living Essential Oils.)

Aromatherapy: Young Living Nutritional Supplements Include Essential Oils

Why are Young Living's nutritional supplements formulated with their pure essential oils? Because the oils act as catalysts to help deliver nutrients through cell membranes while also assisting in the removal of cellular waste. (This is also part of the lymphatic system's job in your body – and why lymphatic massage is my specialty.)

Because Young Living oils are so pure, it is safe to ingest most of them. Essential oils and blends may also be applied topically or inhaled.

A few of my favorite supplements are:

NingXia Red, a powerful, whole-body nutrient infusion that energizes, fortifies, and revitalizes the body and mind. It has just been reformulated, with seven times more essential oils and an all-natural, non-caloric sweetener (stevia). The anti-oxidant levels are higher and it tastes even better than before.

OmegaGize, which replaced Omega Blue, combines three core supplements into one. It contains one of the purest omega-3 fish oils available, heart-healthy CoQ10, vitamin D3, and other key vitamins.

Inner Defense is my natural anti-biotic of choice with no side effects. It is also anti-viral and anti-fungal. I take this before flying and whenever I feel a cold coming on. Knocks it right out!

Try to space out your supplements during the day as they are dissolved and used by the body within a couple of hours. I also recommend taking a break from your supplements 1-2 days per week to allow the body to regain homeostasis and permit its natural recuperative powers to engage.

If you want help determining which supplements your body needs, schedule a kinesiology session with me and remove the guess-work!
