Are you ready to take your health into your own hands?

According to recent studies, the average American spent $8000 on their

healthcare in 2011. Consumer spending on healthcare isnt going downin 2012 and the costs are rising above the rate of inflation.

Are you fed up with your current healthcare situation?

It seems like every trip to the doctor results in a prescription. Did you

know that Americans make up 5% of the world population, yet we

consume over 50% of the pharmaceuticals made. To me, this is an

alarming statistic.

Are you looking for safe and effective natural remedies?

Why shouldnt we build on the knowledge our ancestors acquired about

herbs, roots, and essential oils over the ages. We can now synthesize the

best of that knowledge, apply the latest advances in technology for purity

and testing, and deliver a safe alternative with no toxicity or adverse

effects.

Natural Therapies have arr ived!

The National Institutes of Health have had an Office of Alternative

Medicine since 1993. Harvard University and Johns Hopkins have been

teaching courses in Alternative Medicine for several years. It no longer

needs to be one or the other, we can combine conventional and alternative

medicine for all of our health and wellness needs.

About Young Living Sisters

Elizabeth and I are two fun-loving sisters who love creating healthy lives for

our families and friends. (Im on Lemon & Elizabeth is on Orange)

Young Living Sisters was started in March 2004 after I convinced my older

sister Elizabeth to get onboard the Young Living train. It was an easy decision

after we learned how easily we could redirect our co-pay dollars from insurance

companies to a company with a huge herb farm committed to natural healing.

Since then, we have been sharing the healing power of the oils and enjoying a

healthy income every month from our Young Living business.

Ancient Secrets

Rediscovered

What did the ancients know about the medicinal uses ofplants that we are just now rediscovering?

Although the powerful medicinal value of therapeutic grade essential oils or

aromatherapy is recently being rediscovered by modern scientists, ancient

civilizations used essential oils and spices every day for everything from

warding off disease to purifying their temples.

There is evidence that shows people all over the world were using various forms

of plant medicine, especially essential oils, long before the time of Christ.

Essential oils dont go rancid and can last for hundreds, if not thousands of

years.

The Egyptians and Chinese

Egyptians used essential oi ls and aromatherapy for thousands of years

to heal, anoin t and empower their l ives.

They were some of the first people to document the emotional and physical

health benefits and left behind several hundred oil recipes in the form of

hieroglyphics.

There are numerous references to essential

oils and the plants they came from throughout

the Bible. Some precious oils, such as

frankincense, myrrh, galbanum, rosemary,

hyssop, cassia, cinnamon, and spikenard were

used for anointing and healing the sick.

Clinical research now shows that frankincense and myrrh are two of the most

powerful immune-stimulating substances available on the planet.

Researchers have found that certain essential oils have powerful anti-infectious,

anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties as well as immune-supporting

actions. In addition, studies show that essential oils increase the uptake of

oxygen and the delivery of nutrients to the cells.

Chinese civilizations also mastered the use of essential oils and herbs. In the

year 2700 B.C., a Chinese practitioner, Shen Nung authored an herbal book that

is the oldest surviving medical book in existence today and it contains

information on the medicinal use of over 400 plants.

Recent studies that document the therapeutic value of essential oils help

us understand why ancient civi l izations valued them and rel ied on them

to maintain or r egain their health.

The Europeans

Along with the Egyptians and Chinese, Ancient Greeks were grasping the

power of essential oils and were using them medicinally and cosmetically.

Over 1200 years ago, Pedacius Dioscorides, a Greek physician, authored a book

on herbal medicine. Many of his remedies are still in use today in

Aromatherapy.

As the Romans expanded their empire into Greece and Egypt, they learned

much of their medical knowledge from these advancing societies, using and

improving the science of aromatherapy. As the Roman Empire moved towards

the Orient, new oils were introduced into Europe from India, China and the

Arab Empire by way of the expanding trade routes.

Around 1000 A.D., Avicenna, a brilliant Arab physician in an era when Arab

medicine was the most advanced in the world, had a significant influence on


10/33


Page | 8

aromatherapy. He accurately documented many hundreds of plans and their

uses and was the first person to discover the method of distilling essential oils

from flowers.

Europeans were not noted for their use of essential oils until the 12thcentury

when the well-known German Physician and Scientist, Hildegard of Bingen

(1098-1179) wrote extensively about the use of herbal remedies and essential

oils in her medical practice.

As the Spanish Conquistadors invaded the Americas, they were amazed at the

wealth of medicinal plants found in Incan, Mayan, and Aztec botanical gardens.

The native people of both South and North America were well practiced in

creating herbal remedies for both medicinal and religious ceremonies.

Plant Medicine has been integrated into civilizations throughout history.

The Black Plague

During the 14thCentury, while the dreaded Black Plague was wiping out almost

half the population of England, a fearless band of spice and perfume traders

took advantage of the dead and dying by robbing them. These spice traders

turned thieves never fell ill with

the highly contagious diseasethemselves because they were all

from the same family of perfumers

and were well-versed in the power

of essential oils. They knew

exactly which oils would protect

them.

Eventually the band of spice trader thieves were caught and court documents

show that the thieves were granted a lighter sentence in exchange for revealing

the secret that protected them. Their secret was they were using essential oils.

They applied cinnamon, clove, rosemary, and other aromatic essenti al

oil s on their bodies before robbing their dead or dying victims.

Their secret formula was posted in the town square and is credited for helping to

save the remaining English citizens. The recipe for the thieves oil can still be

found in the Royal English archives today.

Throughout history, terrible plagues have swept through much of the world and

left millions dead.

One surpr ising discovery was that people in certain occupations seemed

to escape the deadly disease.How was this possible?

Spice traders, perfumers, and tanners who

scented their handmade leather gloves

with perfumes before selling them were all

spared because of the anti-microbial

properties in essential oils they were using.

People in geographic regions were also

spared. The entire town of Bucklersbury, England was escaped the perils of theplague while residents of nearby towns were dying in droves.

Historians believe that this small community was spared because it was the

center of the European lavender trade and the disease fighting properties of the

essential oil from lavender protected its residents.

Although the use of plant medicine is well documented for thousands of years,it is only recently that scientists have been documenting the effects of essential

oils on humans.

Recent Discoveries

Bacter ia and Microbes CANNOT OutsmartEssenti al Oils

In 1985, Dr. Jean C. Lapraz stated that, according to his research, no microbe

could survive in the presence of the essential oils cinnamon or oregano.

This important and bold statement has been overshadowed by the recent and

intense advertising of the pharmaceutical industry which works to discredit

natural substances.

They spend billions to influence people through lobbying and advertising to

promote the idea that only drugs can kill germs.

Dr. Lapraz understood the complexity of essential oils and their ability to

outsmart germs and bacteria while the pharmaceutical industry understood the

threat this posed to them and used their resources to minimize this research.


15/33

What are pharmaceutical companies hiding?

Here is what the pharmaceutical

industry doesnt want us to know:

Studies show that each drug is only effective on a l imited number of germs or

microbes and it is only a matter of time before the microbes will outsmart

the drug and develop immuni ty to it.

A drug is used and the microbe grows immune to it. Then an even stronger

drug is created and the microbe grows immune to that, eventually making them

much harder to kill. So the cycle continues to leap frog on and on.

Microbes will always outsmart chemical drugs is because they contain the

exact amount of constituents in the exact same proportions every time. This

exact science is the very reason why pharmaceutical companies can have a

patent on a drug.

Essential Oils Prevent

Diseases

The complex chemistry of essenti al oi ls makes them ideal f or ki l l ing bacter ia

and preventing the spread of disease.

Pure essential oils, not the diluted ones for sale at the drug store or health food

store, are very complex and each batch of oils are influenced by a variety of

naturally occurring factors, like the weather.

This is the very reason why no patents are available for essential oils and why

the pharmaceutical companies cannot monetize essential oils.

The subtle changes in each harvest creates a tiny variation in the chemical

constituents of essential oils,so no two oils are exactly alike in structure or

effect. This variation in structure is exactly why bacteria, viruses, and fungus

have no chance to outsmart pure, therapeutic grade essential oils.


17/33


Page | 15

Its easy for microbes to develop defenses to a substance that is

completely predictable and unchanging.

Certainly antibiotics do an amazing job of treating infections and saving lives,

but despite pleas and warnings from disease experts, they are over used and

over prescribed. This creates the need for newer and stronger antibiotics which

will create a newer and stronger virus. How long can this go on?

Most sophisticated prescri ption drugs on the market come with side effects.

When you pick up a prescription at the pharmacy, you get a list of common side

effects. Regardless of the drug, the most common side effects are nausea,diarrhea or vomiting.

Although we may be lead to believe that side effects are normal reactions to

taking our medication and we should try to get used to them, is that really our

only path to health?


18/33


Page | 16

Have you resigned yourself to l iving with side effects?

Are you disturbed when listening to a drug commercial on TV and half or more

of the commercial is spent quickly running through the side effects? Is anyone

else alarmed that death is commonly mentioned as a side effect? This hardly

seems like a healthy choice!

It is common that once a person starts a

new medication, additional medications

will be prescribed to manage its side

effects.

Then sometimes more prescriptions are

written for those side effects, and the endless cycle of medication continues.

In contrast, here is how one Young Living member feels about her oils:

" What excites me about essenti al oi ls is that they EMPOWER me to

take control of my health and the health of my family.

I nevitably, my chi ld would get sick on a weekend or some other

inopportune time. He would wake up in the middle of the night with an

earache or get hi t wi th a fever on a Sunday.

Not onl y do I know whi ch oil s to use, I can grab them immediately andbegin healing his symptoms and bringing reliefand most times,

intercept what would become bigger issues that would obligate us to a

doctor visit or medication.

The oil s not onl y treat physical symptoms, but work on emotional and

spir itual issues as well , so I am never a victim of health issuesthey

simply become a teacher of how to help my body to heal naturall y."

How To Use Essential Oils

There are a number of different ways in which essential oils may be used. Care

should be taken, however, to ensure that the oils do not come in contact with

your eyes. If this does happen, flush with a vegetable oil NOT water. Water will

push the oil deeper into the eye or skin.

Smell and/or Diffuse:

When inhaling it takes 22 seconds for an oil toreach the brain.

Place 1-3 drops on a cloth, tissue,pillow and inhale.

Rub in your hands and cup over your face and inhale.

Add a few drops to your vacuum cleaner.

Place oil on a cotton ball and put it in a vent in the house or car.

Diffuse using a cold air diffuser. Thishelps to kill bacteria and mold. Diffusethe oils for 1520 minutes each hour.


20/33


Page | 18

Direct Application:

When applied topically it takes 2-3 minutes for

an oil to reach the bloodstream...20 minutes toaffect every cell in the body, it is metabolized

within 2 1/2 hours.

Please note that more is not better when using pure, therapeutic gradeoils. A detoxification can be triggered. 1 drop of peppermint oil is the

equivalent of 28 drops of peppermint tea. Start with 1-3 drops andwork up if needed.

Apply the oils to the area of concern.

Add oils behind ears or on wrists for quick absorption as well.

When using on children or infants, always dilute by over 50%

Wear as a perfume or cologne

Dietary Supplements:

Only recommended for Young Living EssentialOils. Follow the directions for each oil.

Add a drop or two to water or a beverage toflavor and reap health benefits.

Add a drop or two to recipes to season food

I have used oils and supplements for my three children for the past 8

years, and I have only had to take one chi ld to the doctor ."

Quality Essential Oils

Organic

I only use and recommend Young Living essential oils because most of the oils

were grown on Young Living farmland or by Young Living partners who do not

use chemicals, pesticides, herbicides or anything harmful. The farms are even

hand weeded!

SustainableMany of the essential oils are grown on land that is wild crafted, which is

beyond organic, where pesticides and herbicides have not ever been used. If the

plants were not grown on one of the seven Young Living farms, they work with

the communities to harvest the plants in the best interests of the people and the

environment.

Therapeutic Grade

Each and every batch is distilled at the right temperature for just the right time

with just the right amount of pressure to preserve the potent chemical

constituents that work so well with our bodies.

This is a Green Business

Reusing and recycling is part of the Young Living culture. If you are

environmentally conscious, like me, you will appreciate the many ways YoungLiving works with Mother Earth and the people who walk on it.

You Get What You Pay For

Read the label and the check the ingredients

If you are warned not to take the oil internally, you can be sure that the contents

of the bottle are mostly synthetic chemicals or fragrance oils labeled as

aromatherapy oils. Pure and natural essential oils are safe to ingest and require

no such label.

Cheap oils are often disappointing

There are different reasons why the costs are so varied from oil to oil but some

of the main reasons are cost of production, abundance of raw material and

purity of product. Cold pressed oils are typically more affordable, whereas

steam distillation typically yield smaller batches and are therefore more

expensive to produce.

Good certified therapeutic oils may be more expensive, but if you are looking

for real results from your oils, you won't want to compromise your health for a

few dollars savings.

Suspicious Black, I rregular Shaped Mole

I had a suspicious mole appear on the side of my forehead just above the

temple. I began applying Young Livings Frankincense; about 2 drops 2-3 x a

day.

After about 4 1/2 weeks of consistent use it began to harden and form a scab.

(crazy) I continued to apply Frankincense and I was finally able to gently

remove the scab! THIS was amazing.

I now add 2 drops of Frankincense to my daily skin care regimen for added

precaution.

Amy Holmes

I njured on his motorcycle

Because of a motorcycle accident I sustained a serious injury that splintered

my arm from the elbow to the tip of my fingers. Bones, tendons and nerves all

needed extensive attention and my doctors were concerned about the level of

my recovery. Immediately I used lavender, melaluca alternifolia, peppermint,

wintergreen, Idaho balsam fir , frankincense and regenolone cream in an

attempt to help my body repair itself and control inflammation. To my doctors

amazement the recovery was rapid and well beyond what they expected. From

scar tissue and flexibility to lack of infection and the return of feeling in my

hand was nothing short of my wildest wishes. As my doctors were

congratulating themselves on a job well done (and hats off they did a fabulous

job), I knew it was my Young Living oils that were the X factor in my happy

ending. I am a believer.
