USING YOUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS FOR “EMERGENCY” ACCIDENTS

We’ve had a couple of accidents lately. The latest one is Mike drilled right
through his thumb with an Allen screwdriver! The drill bit that went through
his thumb was thick too, at least 1/4 inch thick. He was distracted by someone
walking by and went to drill and again and didn’t see he was
drilling his thumb! He pulled the drill bit out along with some of his flesh
There was a little bit of blood but not a lot. Thank God it didn’t hit his
bone, but went through the flesh part only. He ran inside yelling, “I
drilled my thumb!” I went to get our essential oils which is the first place
we turn to whenever there is any kind of injury, health crisis, or sickness.

We immediately turned to Helicrysum oil, which is what we used when Mike
cut his finger right through to the bone a couple of months earlier. When that
happened, we put one drop on the cut, then two, then three, and by the
fourth drop it had stopped bleeding. (It only takes a few drops this oil is
so powerful!) We bandaged the cut putting Rose ointment on it and reapplied
the oils a couple of times a day along with fresh bandages and a drop of
helicrysum each time, and within a few days the cut was totally healed. That
experience really solidified the need in our minds to always have Helicrysum
oil on hand because you just don’t know when you are going to need it. It
may be expensive, but it’s way cheaper than going to Emergency!

So back to the drilled thumb…I first put a drop of Melrose oil on both
holes of his thumb to kill and prevent any infection that could potentially
grow. After applying Melrose oil, we applied one drop of Helicrysum oil to
aid the healing and one drop of Trauma life oil blend because of the trauma.
We applied these 3 oils every couple of minutes for the first 10 minutes
until the thumb had calmed down a little and the trauma was lessened.
There was some pain but not as much as we expected. Then we
bandaged the thumb the same way as above, applying Rose ointment
directly on the bandage and then placing the bandage over both wounds
where the thumb was drilled. We changed the bandage a couple of
times a day, reapplying the oils and Rose ointment,for the next few
days, then once a day. The thumb healed so rapidly it was
amazing to see. Within a few days it seemed almost completely healed
although there was still obviously internal healing that was needed.
So we continued the oils and bandage for a few more days. After
a week you couldnt even tell that the thumb had been drilled! Another
reason for keeping on the bandage was to keep the wounds moist
with the Rose ointment to prevent scabbing and to enable the
wounds to heal more thoroughly without leaving a scar.

Because we had the oils and ointment, this saved us on both occasions
mentioned above from having to go to the Emergency room. It has literally
saved us hundreds of dollars by having Young Living essential oils on hand.
I would highly recommend having Helicrysum, Trauma life, and Melrose oils,
and Rose ointment in your first aid kit as I believe these are your FIRST
DEFENSE to any serious injuries you might experience around the home.
For any kind of bleeding use Helicrysum and for prevention of infections,
Melrose. And Rose ointment for the bandaging and continued healing
and protection of the wound.

One point of interest I would also like to share is that before being introduced
to Young Living essential oils, I was always a “scaredy cat” when it came to
wounds, injuries, cuts of any kind, any kind of blood. I was the worst one to
turn to. I couldn’t take it and wouldn’t know what to do. I’d kind of panic inside.
Well, now it’s the complete opposite. It’s amazing how I don’t have any fear,
any panicky reaction at all. I KNOW what I have on hand and I’m prepared.
Because I’m armed with the knowledge and experience of what these oils
can do, it gives me faith that when things happen with the kids, or members
of our family, even the pets we have, that we have “emergency” treatments
that we can administer immediately without having to get to an emergency
room or hospital. It’s a great comfort to me and it’s the greatest peace
of mind you can have. Not to mention the fact that we don’t have to be
vaccinated or injected against infections or given synthetic creams,
drugs, etc for wounds which is what would happen if we went to the
hospital. Young Living essential oils are all natural, with no side effects
and healing is FAST! In my opinion you really can’t afford NOT
to have Young Living essential oils in your first aid kit, especially
if you want to treat your family’s injuries naturally and safely.

I love Myrrh on coughs. It is fantastic. I usually layer it with Harmony,
but its the Myrrh that really seems to stop the cough. I love it because
its gentle enough on the skin to use neat on my baby, and it works.
I also use Myrrh on the eczema my 2 year old has and it makes a
big difference. It clears up much faster when I use Myrrh with
the Lavender lotion.

I have worked with a number of people who had mold in the blood and/or the body and have suggested the following with great results.

If either of us had mold in the blood or the body, we would be taking the following oils in a “00″ gel capsule every 2-3 hours a day:

10 drops Thieves oil
4 drops Frankincense oil
2 drops Oregano oil
2 drops Thyme oil

Sometimes we would leave out the Thyme or the Oregano oil and substitute Mountain Savory or Melissa instead.

We would also take Inner Defense and Longevity capsules, drink 4-8 oz of NingXia Red, and do the Cleansing Trio every day as directed on the bottles for at least 3 months. Also Life 5 is very helpful.

We drink half our body weight in pure water every day. We would also eliminate mushrooms and other fungi and yeast, including breads, and also sugars as much as possible.

And we would be diffusing everywhere, for 30 minutes at a time and at least 3-4 times a day. We have 5 diffusers in our home and always take a diffuser with us when we travel – the cold-air diffuser with a 6.0 Watts pump. We alternate diffusing Thieves, Purification, and a blend of 10 drops Lemon, 5 drops Peppermint and 5-10 drops Abundance. Abundance has clove, cinnamon, frankincense, and myrrh oil – all have antifungal/antibacterial properties. Sometimes we diffuse 10 drops lemongrass, 10 drops eucalyptus (any of them or RC) and 3-5 drops melaleuca (any of them or Melrose) oils together – these are also great antifungal agents. I also like to use a blend I make of 10 drops Cinnamon Bark, 10 drops Lemongrass, 20 drops Clove. We don’t have scientific data collected to back up the benefits of these other blends in eliminating mold, however, we do use them personally.

Raindrop is great for people with this, but be careful not to do the technique more than once a month until they have completed several month’s of cleansing.

Also, I have worked with several people who have had wonderful results using this protocol. If you decide to use this, please let me know how it works for you.

Dr. Daniel Penoel says become “Aromatic Warriors” when there is something of a potentially dangerous nature affecting us. We certainly adhere to that advice. Mold can be very serious. Do not treat it lightly.

Gentle Baby is made to be used on babies (and mommies!!) I used it on my belly while pregnant with my #8 and #9 and did not get any new stretch marks from those pregnancies.

I put Gentle Baby in V-6 and do full body massages with it on babies. My #9 was a preemie and I would put Gentle Baby on my hands and rub them together and let him smell it when he couldn’t even be touched.

Gentle Baby is oxygenating. I heard a testimonial at a Level I training in 2000 where a lady told about he daughter delivering her grand child. As he crowned, the skin on his head was black (lack of oxygen)as it was a difficult birth. They started applying Gentle Baby to mom’s belly (lots of it) and when the baby was born, he pinked right up and had no further problems.

My friend delivered her 8th baby (I know, lots of babies between me and her and we had another friend with 9 children!!) at home. When she was born,she had dusky extremities(hands and feet) and a portion of her head would get dusky. All they had to do was diffuse Gentle Baby in a room, take her into the room and she pinked right up and stayed pink for quite a while. When she got dusky again, they would take her back into the “Gentle Baby room”. They also applied it to her diluted in V-6. In a few day she stayed pinked up!!

It is a beautiful oil and made to be used, diluted, on babies and mommies!!

Make the day great!

First for some background information:
My son was excited to earn a college lacrosse scholarship. Unfortunately, he decided to quit taking his meds while away at college because he didn’t like how they made him feel – sleepy most of the time (BTW, our pediatrician warned us and Bryan that 70-75% of his ADD/ADHD college students go off of their meds in college and that is was the wrong thing to do). He was taking Strattera (80 mg/day) for his Attention Deficit Disorder and Zoloft for depression. Since he had really obnoxious roommates and he wasn’t taking his meds, he began self-medicating with alcohol and later with marijuana.

Four weeks from the end of his first year in college, he got kicked out for breaking too many rules. He returned home where we got him substance abuse counseling and helped him get off of marijuana (he’s now been clean for months – we drug test him). He also had to get a job in order to pay for his next year of college because we weren’t going to pay for any more college until he completed the first year of college that we paid for and he squandered.

We met with his pediatrician about some alternative ADD meds for him to try (along with a myriad of side effects). I asked if he would be willing to try essential oils instead of medication and he agreed. I initially started him with another company’s Vetiver but Bryan could tell no difference in how he felt. I then spent a little more money and bought the Young Living Essential Oils (YLEO) Vetiver that I put on the bottom of both of his big toes each morning. He told me he could tell a difference within days as he was less angry and he wasn’t having outbursts. We could tell he was less annoying than he normally is off of meds.

Later I added Valor for his depression and Clarity for his being more alert in class. He’s been on YLEO Vetiver for about 4 months and the other oils for a couple of weeks. He is adjusting well to the local community college while also working 20 evening hours at UPS as a package handler. He is actually fairly positive about his classes and work, which is unusual for him. He’s talkative and outgoing. I attribute this to the oils because his life is not easy (he calls it “living in the struggle”). He really likes not having the negative side effects from his previous meds, which included nausea with any movement, stomach pain, and occasional headaches. I wish I had known about these oils years ago. We tried nearly every possible alternative to meds for our son and nothing made a significant difference until YLEO oils.

My feet were swelling and I attributed it to Lymphedema
from Cancer surgery. It turns out that if your lower back
is out, it will cause your feet to swell. I had no back pain,
just needed an adjustment and the swelling
immediately went down.

Blessings and have a safe holiday to all,

Here is a quote from the “Reference Guide for Using Essential Oils” by Connie and Alan Higley concerning Herpes Simplex:

“Jean Valnet, M.D., a French physician, recommends a blend of lemon and geranium. Tisserand suggests eucalyptus and bergamot. Dr. Wabner says that a one-time application of either true rose oil or true melissa oil led to a complete remission of herpes simplex lesions. Apply the oil directly on the lesions at the first sign of an out break. (Alternative Medicine – The Definitive Guide, p. 56).”

What worked wellf for me was Valor. It still does when I get depressed, but I don’t get depressed that often anymore, thank God!! Just a drop or two of Valor every day will do it; simply apply a drop on the soles of the feet after taking a shower and a drop on the wrist and behind the ears as well, like perfume. At first, you may need to apply it more often, if the depression is severe. Everytime you feel like you can’t cope, apply a drop of Valor on the wrists and behind the ears, and inhale profoundly, closing your eyes. It starts working in just a few minutes. It’s just amazing!!

There is a wonderful book by Carolyn Mein, D.C. entitled “Releasing Emotional Patterns With Essential Oils”. This book is available by cutting and pasting or typing the email addresses below in the address line of your email incase you cannot access these sites through this email. www.essentialscience.net and or www.abundanthealth4u.com The cost of this easy read book is $14.95.

In this book it states some of the best oils for Depression are: Hope, Valor, Joy, Lavender, White Angelica, Gentle Baby, Inner Child, Sara, Peace & Calming, Citrus Fresh, Humility and Christmas Spirit.

For issues of being Overwhelmed: layer, Acceptance and Hope, Valor, or Grounding.

For issues of Anger and Hate: Forgiveness, Acceptance, Humility, Release or Joy. Deep-seated anger may also need Helichrysum and /or Valor to have the strength to forgive. (Layer if using more than one blend.)

Rejection: Acceptance layered with Forgiveness.

Whatever, the choice of oils, use them faithfully everyday. Gary Young has said the liver is our “fear factory” everything we feel and also all the toxins our body releases are stored in the liver. So be sure to use Release on the liver and Harmony on the solar plexus area of the body. Valor on the feet, 5 drops on the bottom of each foot 6 days of the week, balances out the energy field of the body.

Nutrition plays a huge
factor in our mental and physical well being so eating all the right foods contributes greatly.

I hope some of this information helps.

Blessings to you and yours,
Linda

In the latest Essential LIfestyle magazine, on Page 35, there’s a Mood Elevating Protocol in the upper right hand corner of the page. Vicki Opfer shared this…as she has in the Yahoo forums also. There was a friend of mine who used it for her depression and she really noticed a difference. One weekend she was busy and forgot to do it. By Monday she wasn’t feeling herself and then she realized that she hadn’t done the protocol over the weekend. She started it again and all was well. She was able to get out of bed more cheerfully and felt like doing something during the day.

Also, the newest person in my organization I met at a Women’s Fair where I had a booth. She won the 5 ml bottles of Joy and Lavender that I had as a raffle. I told her about all the uses for Lavender and then for Joy, I mentioned about putting a drop over your heart in the morning to make you feel Joyous! She called me the next afternoon very excited. She is the director of Human Resources and accounting for one of our state offices….so there is some stress there! She said that usually, by the afternoon, she has tension in her shoulders and sometimes a slight headache. Well, she was driving home from work and she didn’t have the tension or the headache! And, she said, she still had the same stresses that day..so it wasn’t that…it had to be the Joy oil! She purchased the Everyday Oils kit the next day!

The protocol is below for those that might not have the magazine in front of
them:

*Mood Elevating Protocol*

* *

*Valor:* Apply to bottoms of feet or place a single drop on one wrist and hold the other wrist to it for a few moments to balance the entire system.

*Harmony:* Place a single drop over the solar plexus (area above the belly button)

*Joy:* Apply a single drop over the heart.

*White Angelica:* Place a single drop in one hand, rub hands together and brush over the head, face, chest, shoulders, down the body, and right over the clothes as though applying an angelic shield.

The oil I used for depression was lemon on my throat, which would be my thyroid. I wasn’t severely depressed, more like I felt down a lot. But depression does run in my family so I pay attention to how I feel.

The lemon oil made me feel lighter, happier.

Happy oiling,
Amanda Snader

I have a friend who had a son becoming more and more depressed. She diffused Joy in his room. It helped bring him out of it. I would also use the tree oils, cedarwood, Idaho Balsam Fir, cypress, frankincense, sandalwood. They are very grounding. There is a book available on Abundant Health that a psychologist wrote. He has helped people with depression and bi polar. Dr. Greg Hitter I think is his name. The tree oils are grounding for people and can lift their mood. Diffuse, apply topically, put on a hanky or piece of flannel under the pillow case. Get on Vitamin D as lack of Vit D3 causes depression.

Blessings,

I deal with high-functioning depression constantly. The things I do to keep on track are diffusing. I don’t care what oil I have in the diffuser. It is kept on all the time. Diffusing is vital. Frankincense on the brainstem is marvelous, reading/watching uplifting true stories, (I use the Chicken Soup Series to get cathartic release) IdahoBalsam Fir is an instant up-Stress Away and all the Amazon oils are wonderful. Massage and/or foot treatments for the touch therapy is wonderful.

Nutrition and exericse along with deeper breathing supports the work of the oils. (Eat alkaline and cleanse 1 day a week. Yoga) The 2 things that help me the most are acts of service. One to a human and one to God. If I can focus on someone else just for a simple act it keeps me climbing up. An act of service for God to me means I acknowledge I am His daughter, He loves me and I have great value to Him. I use the oils from the old Feeling’s kit for my meditation/service act to God.

I daily set the intent to share a smile with a stranger. I give thanks for blessings.

I hope the oils can help one who isn’t able to help themselves.

What has helped my mother who has kidney
problems get rid of excess fluid has been the following:

1 drop each of geranium, juniper, orange and lemon
oils in about 1/4 cup of water or juice, like NingXia Red.
She just did it once a day and each day the swelling was l
ess and by the fourth day there was no edema. This has
worked countless times for her and also for a friend of mine.

No side effects, too.

Be well,

I used Thieves with a hospice client a few years ago.
It helped decrease her coughing and open up her breathing.
The nurse/doctor had used every pharmacological med they
had and nothing worked until this. The nurse became a
believer in oils and we became close friends, him being
opened up for oils for other issues.
