Do you remember middle school science class? The pungent smell of formaldehyde filling the air as you performed the school ritual of animal dissection? Did you know that many popular personal care products list formaldehyde as an ingredient or mention a preservative that releases formaldehyde? Yeah,...

What's the difference between Young Living essential oils and all the other essential oil companies?

Young Living has something that no other company can claim: our Seed to Seal® quality commitment. Seed to Seal is supported by three pillars:

Pillar 1: Sourcing
Young Living's essential oils are sourced from our corporate-owned farms, partner farms, and Seed to Seal-certified suppliers. This empowers us to source conscientiously and with sensitivity to local communities and ecosystems.

Pillar 2: Science
While product quality starts in the fields, it's proven in our state-of-the-art labs. Our Research and Development and Quality teams are staffed with more than 50 highly trained, highly skilled scientists, who use advanced testing methods to help ensure that all products meet our lofty standards.

Pillar 3: Standards
Inexpensive essential oils are often synthetic, adulterated, or unethically sourced, which is why we choose partners who produce pure essential oils and ingredients ethically and legally. This practice sets a top-tier standard for legal and ethical sourcing. Our efforts also go beyond a conscientious supply chain. Young Living's commitment to sustainable business includes reforestation of harvested trees; recycling at Young Living offices; and the construction of our brand-new, LEED-certified headquarters in Lehi, Utah.

Why do we uphold these rigorous Seed to Seal standards? Because they result in a superior quality product, providing you and the Young Living family with quality beyond anything else on the market.

As the industry continues to expand, Young Living users can feel confident passing by the "other guys" on the shelves, knowing that no other label comes with Seed to Seal promise of uncompromised quality.

Hair Loss - Preventing it and/or Dealing with It by Frances Fuller

Hair loss can be attributed to a number of causes. Some of these can be lack of sufficient vitamins and minerals, inadequate sleep, high stress levels and hormones. No matter what the cause, it is challenging when it happens to YOU!

It may help to think of it as a signal that something is not balanced in the body. If we approach it in this manner, we may more easily achieve the glorious thick and shiny mane we desire.

What’s in your shampoo and other hair products?
There are many chemicals in most shampoos, conditioners, and other hair products which may give a temporary appearance of shiny full hair, but which may actually dry the hair and irritate the scalp. Unfortunately, it is NOT necessary for all ingredients to be printed on the label! (This was a real surprise for me when I discovered it a few years ago!) In addition, the products you are using may be marketed as “natural” or “organic”, but these words have nor regulatory board governing their use.

Would you “eat your shampoo”?

Gary Young, founder of Young Living Essential Oils asked that question during a training class in early 2000. We all laughed. He said you can eat his shampoo – and continued by saying that “you may not like the taste, but it could be the best thing you put I your body all day!” His point is that there is nothing that would harm you in the Young Living shampoo. Can the same be said for YOURS?

Eliminating of chemicals that can contribute to hair loss is an easy first step. This may be all that is necessary for some.

Are your vitamins and minerals being absorbed?
Many of us make a decision to “become healthier” and begin to take supplements – but we do not seem to be feeling and looking better. This could be that the supplements are not being absorbed by the body. Often there are “fillers” in supplements that inhibit the body’s absorption rate, so the supplements are actually eliminated from the body rather than being absorbed. In addition, some vitamins require the ratio to be present in order to be readily utilized by the body. In other words, while the ingredients may be present, they do not assist us.

When the body receives the nutrients it needs in a form that can be absorbed, you will be amazed at the results.

Young Living’s:
SULFURZYME offers pure organic sulfur
BALANCE COMPLETE is a great way to ensure enough protein in the diet.
NINGXIA RED is high in anti-oxidants which can readily be used by the body.

NEW PRODUCT:
The new MIRAH HAIR OIL is amazing! I use 2 drops on damp hair and massage into scalp. It does not make my hair oily. (I was amazed as I have fine oily hair.)

What can you do about stress?
Hummm, this is a big deal! While most of us cannot “eliminate stress” from our lives, we can reduce the impact of stress on the body. Meditation, essential oils, breathing (as in Yoga practices), and exercise can greatly assist. Just taking a few minutes each day may reduce stressors that can lead to serious diseases – and hair loss.

Essential Oils
ALL Therapeutic Grade essential oils have the ability to oxygenate the cells of the body – and every single cell needs adequate oxygen to be healthy. In addition, many essential oils are widely used for their calming effect – so they can assist in both ways at once!

I have personally noted that LAVENDER, CEDARWOOD, and YLANG YLANG are especially effective both for preventing and alleviating hair loss as well as for reducing stress. I massage 2-3 drops of ONE of the oils into the scalp morning and evening. Essential oils do NOT make the hair greasy as it is only when combined with vegetable oil that a greasy feeling would be present.

NOTE: Lavender essential oil is great for relaxing you so you can sleep better!

There are several recipes in the Essential Oils Desk Reference which could be helpful:

Blend #1
10 drops cedarwood
8 drops rosemary
10 drops sandalwood
10 drops lavender

Blend #2
3 drops rosemary
5 drops lavender
4 drops cypress
2 drops clary sage
2 drops juniper

Add 10 drops of either of the above blends to 1 teaspoon fractionated coconut oil and massage into scalp at night before bed. Some have found it helpful to alternate the blends.

Don’t despair – your “mane aggravation” can be your “crowning glory”!!!

CITRONELLA essential oil

Citronella oil is steam distilled from the leafy parts of the citronella plant.
Citronella essential oil is a common element in perfumes and cosmetic products and is well known for its use in outdoor candles, sprays, lotions, and other camping and outdoor essentials.

As a relative of Lemongrass, Citronella has a slight citrus scent that provides a pleasant and inviting experience whenever it’s used. Its versatility makes it a great household product to add to your beauty routine or to refresh indoor and outdoor spaces.

Uses:
Apply topically before and during outdoor activities.
Use Citronella's bright scent to sweeten a custom fragrance or diffusion blend.
Apply topically to refresh and moisturise skin.
Use as an alternative to deodorant. Combine with Melaleuca Alternifolia essential oil for added strength.
Use in a DIY floating candle bowl to create a peaceful ambience and pleasant aroma during outdoor parties.

Citronella essential oil was traditionally used to prevent food spoilage.

Citronella is one of the oldest used plants for insect repellent before the manufacturing of DDT? Yes, used all over the world for thousands of years and today is used in many candles, sunscreen, and even skin care products.

Mentally, its citrusy and fruity aroma is very calming.

Spiritually & Emotionally, Citronella essential oil helps to release the energy of punishment and distrust that creates anger, frustration and separation from self and source. It helps to calm the emotional and mental bodies so that one can resolve the inner reasons for the conflict.

This oil instills trust and connection to source which helps us embrace and accept ourself and all of life’s rewards. It asks us to evaluate the things that “bug us” or irritate us on a deeper level. Once we do, we may find those pesky annoyances are exactly the things we need to be more accepting of in others so we can accept ourselves.

Solar plexus chakra.

Use 50:50
Apply several drops (2-4) on location
Apply to chakras/vitaflex points
Directly inhale
Diffuse

Can this Oil be used for Pets? Yes, have your animals smell it directly from the bottle or place a drop or two in your palm, then

Did you know it takes approximately 75 lemons to make a 15ml bottle of lemon oil. Technically lemon essential oil is not an essential oil as it is not steam distilled. It is cold pressed from the rind and is what's called an expressed oil. Lemon essential oil contains the naturally occurring constituent d-limonene.
Lemon is a photosensitive oil and therefore you should avoid exposure to the sun for around 48 hours after using it on your skin – or put it where the sun don’t shine.
Lemon oil can be used in cooking as it can be substituted in any recipe that calls for lemon rind, lemon juice or lemon extract. It's amazing in marinades, drinks and with chicken. I love to add it when I'm baking or in icing for cakes and slices. Here's a recipe you might like to try...
Zesty Lemon Cake
Ingredients
1 1/2 c plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs
1 cup rapadura sugar

1/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
8 drops of Young Living Lemon Essential Oil
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
Icing
1 cup icing sugar
2 tbs milk
2 drops Young Living Lemon Essential Oil
Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Grease and flour metal or glass 23cm x 13cm loaf pan, or use cupcake liners in a cupcake tray.
Sift together flour, baking soda, bicarb powder and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla and lemon juice with a mixer.
Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and blend until smooth.
Add melted coconut oil and and Young Living Lemon Essential Oil. Mix well.

Oil of the week - Shutran - a cologne without synthetic ingredients
Spice up your bedroom with this spicy, earthy blend. Shutran is an empowering essential oil blend that was specially designed for men to boost feelings of masculinity and confidence. Its inspiring aroma appeals to both men and women, and although used like a cologne, Shutran does not contain any synthetic ingredients like most colognes on the market. Instead, it is formulated with pure, essential oils, including Idaho Blue Spruce, a refreshing, invigorating essential oil to both body and mind.
Even though Shutran is specifically designed for men, the women in their lives will also benefit. Just a few drops throughout the day can help with an impossible workday or the pursuits of a special evening.
Shutran Essential Oil Blend is a wonderful blend of exotic and rare oils that harmonizes male and female energy but in a much different way than Ylang Ylang.
This oil will inspire self-empowerment and self-confidence. For us to be successful we must step into our own personal power and become WHOLE. And transform and release all that will not serve us in becoming that person.

Ylang Ylang Essential oil (Cananga odorata) has a long history in skin and hair care products, particularly in Asia, where it is used to support luxuriant hair. It also restores confidence and equilibrium.
Hinoki essential oil (Chamaecyparis obtusa) is energizing and uplifting to the mind. Opens the mind to potentiality and specifically opportunities.
Coriander essential oil (Coriandrum sativum) has been used since Ancient Egypt.
Davana Essential Oil (Artemisia pallens) It helps ease stressful feelings and nervousness.
Lavender essential oil (Lavandula angustifolia) can help you relax, wind down before bed and even ease stress. Its balancing properties can create a soft and relaxing environment when diffused.

Lemon essential oil Citrus limon) consists of 68 percent d-limonene. It has cleansing and purifying properties.
Northern Lights Black Spruce essential oil (Picea mariana) is grounding yet uplifting inspiring us to reach the sky and live our potentiality.
How do I Use it?
Can be added to coconut oil to give the man in your life an amazing massage before bed or used NEAT (undiluted):,
Apply several drops (2-4) on heart, ears, wrists, neck or feet
Add several drops (2-4) to bath water with bicarb or Epsom salts
Apply to chakras/vitaflex points
Directly inhale or
Diffuse.
What are the Documented Uses for Shutran Essential Oil Blend? Awareness of ones greater potential, confidence, empowerment, harmonize male and female energies, intuition, mind, potential, open mind, stress, self and inner awareness, relaxation, self-esteem, self-confidence, spiritual awareness (increase), stress, subconscious and vision of goals.

Progessence Plus
Calling all LADIES! If you're a woman, if you have emotions, if you have hormones, if you have a "monthly visitor," or even if you don't have one anymore, Progessence Plus is for you.
Did you even realize that Young Living had something specifically designed for women? Well, believe it!
WHAT IS IT?
Progessence Plus is serum, blended with many essential oils inside that support women's health. These oils include clove, rosewood, balsam copaiba, sacred frankincense, cedarwood, bergamot, and peppermint. It does have a thicker consistency, making it more like a serum, and that is due to the coconut oil and USP-grade progesterone from wild yam extract.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Progessence Plus is one that most women love so much, that they wish Young Living made it available to purchase by the gallon! It is particularly famous for:
-Supporting women's health
-Relief during menstruation
-PMS relief
-Hormone support
-Harmonizing emotions
-Natural fragrance option
-Encourages sexual tendencies
-Boosts libido
HOW DO I USE IT?
Since Progessence Plus is a serum for the skin, you'll want to apply this topically. Many like to apply over thin skin, like the wrists and neck. Others have also applied over the lower tummy during monthly visits, or even the inner thighs to heighten sexual senses and promote a more evident libido.
LOOK UP ON YOUR OWN TIME:
I highly recommend checking out the ingredients of this product into more depth later on, especially the essential oils. Again, those include clove, rosewood, balsam copaiba, sacred frankincense, cedarwood, bergamot, and peppermint. All of those essential oils contain many powerful constituents that encourage increased sexual desire, and so much more.
