Warning: Only try this with Young Living Essential Oils

Today I am going to talk about internal use of essential oils. Why would we want to use them internally? There are many reasons but the best reason is to get them inside and let them work on infections or on ulcers or any internal problems that you may be experiencing. What reasons specifically? A few ideas would be ear infections, lung infections, bronchial infections. I have used them on all these issues and they work.

Another example would be pain relief, again I have used a combination of Helichrysum, Valerian, Vetiver, and peppermint when I had a tooth pulled, it worked wonderfully to manage the discomfort. Clove right on the tooth took all the discomfort out to begin with. However the infection had gotten into the root of the tooth the reason it needed to be gone to begin with. I also used a combination of oils to keep the infection from spreading throughout my system once the tooth was pulled. I used one of Young Living's products called Inner Defense which has a combination of oils to fight infection, in an enteric coated capsule. It worked extremely well the best of all no side effects like anti biotic creates.

Like I said to start with only Young Living Essential Oils are safe enough to take internally. Young Living oils are the purest of the pure because they produce most of their own. Let me know if you would like more information on how to use the oils and what they can do. Leave me a note or see www.youngliving.org/468819.

Topical Application of Essential Oils

This time I would like to talk about topical application of the oils. We at Young Living have learned that most oils can be put directly on the skin which we call "neat". That means with out dilution. I have never had a problem with that but always check with people and tell them they can mix with a good carrier oil of any of the oils seem "hot" to them. The oils itself will cut the feel of the heat.

An example of a hot oil is Lemongrass or Oregano to name two. When you are not sure of where to put an oil always the bottom of the feet are best. I personally put oils where ever they seem to be needed. If my back is bothering me I put the oils directly on my back, or knee or wherever you feel a need. I am also big on putting oils around my neck area or chest so that I can smell or breathe them in.

I at first put a lot of oils under my arm pits which you can also do but just make sure it isn't after a hot shower or bath and you shaved your arm pits that is a mistake I made, only once. Here is where the carrier oil comes in real handy.

We never want to put oils in our eyes or ears. If you do get oils in your eye again a carrier oil will help solve any problems with that. The oils will not harm your eye but it can sting. I have put Lavender on the lid of my eye when I have gotten a sty, it took the sty away in a matter of just a few hours.

We have a technique called raindrop and in that technique several oils go right on the spine and or the muscles of the spine. I have had this many times without any burning to my skin but again for fair haired people you always want to check with them if they are too hot.

One word of caution is that any of the citrus oils can be sun sensitive meaning it could darken the pigment of your skin, it is always wise not to put then on and then go out into the direct sun. That is the case where I put them under my clothing.

Any questions, let me know, any comments please post, I would love to hear your stories.

Next time we will talk about internal use of essential oils.

Happy oiling.

How to use Essential Oils


Hi and welcome, I want to share just a few essential oil basics because I get asked about this all the time.

First of all there are 3 ways to experience essential oils.
Here they are: Inhalation
Topical application
Internal consumption
I am going to tackle these one at a time.

Inhalation is a great way to get essential oils into the system. When inhaling an oil it can actually penetrate into the brain by crossing the Blood Brain Barrier. I find that fascinating. Think about it, you can actually cleanse your brain. Don't think you need to, well think again. You have heard about all the brain tumors, and neurological disorders we all face today, could it be we have bombarded our brains with way too many chemicals? Think about it, what is in the air you breathe?

Put a drop on your hands and just take deep breaths, or you can use a cold air diffuser. Another way is to put some drops on cotton balls and place in your air register. When the furnace blower is on it will waft the molecules all around your home.


This month brain power is 10% off. Don't you think you owe it to your brain?

Stay tuned for part 2 which will be topical application.

What should I eat?

I get asked all the time what should I feed my pet? Well what do you eat? Do you eat healthy? Or do you eat premixed and prepacked foods? Feeding kibble is like eating hot dogs everyday, how healthy would we be? The time is now to eat as close to real foods as we can. That includes our animals also. Where do we start? Very simply, think about a nice green leafy salad, with a lot of variety of raw vegetables along with it. Most of us need a little protein with that maybe a chicken breast or turkey, some can enjoy a nice steak. Believe it or not our animals like variety as well. There are some nice blends of raw food diets out there for our them. You need to find a pet specialty store in your area and you will find these kinds of foods. There are also dehydrated blends that work nicely too adding in some protein for them.

What does this all have to do with essential oils, well in case you didn't know the oils I sell can be used in your favorite recipes. Instead of using a dried herb you can use an essential oil in its place. This way you know you are receiving the energy of the herb as well. The oil is not dehydrated like an herb is which causes it to loose its life force. The oil is the life blood of the plant, it is so much better to use the oil because it is extremely compatible with our chemistry.

When cooking with an essential oil you wait until your food is almost ready then taking a tooth pick dip into the orifice of the bottle and stir your food with the tooth pick. Believe it or not that is all you need when using Oregano, Sage, or thyme to name a few oils. If you add before you cook the food you will heat the oil too much and it will evaporate out. Lemon oil is a little different than the oils mentioned previously. I especially like to marinate a chicken breast or fish in lemon oil before cooking that works really nice and the lemon taste remains during cooking, giving your food a wonderful refreshing real lemon taste.
