I figured if the oils could help our family not get sick at least one time they were worth it!
I have been using my premium starter kit from Young Living for one week, and I have to say I am way more impressed than I thought I would be.
1. Yesterday my back hurt a lot. I took out the PanAway and rubbed it all over my back. It is like an all-natural BenGay and felt amazing. AND the effects lasted for hours.
2. I give the boys a bath every night so I have started using the diffuser in there to encourage them to breathe in the goodness. It is like a spa every evening, and I have started really looking forward to bath time. I diffuse Thieves to prevent sickness and something to help relax them for bed like Lavender. In the mornings I diffuse something like Joy, Stress Away, or Lemon to get us all going in the morning. ;-) If you like Scentsy or Candles in your home, you will LOVE the diffuser.
3. I have been using the Mint and Lemon Oils daily in my tea, water, or hot chocolate. I am looking forward to baking with them as well! I looked up the benefits of this one essential oil, Lemon, and was amazed!
Extensive research has been conducted on citrus and lemon fruits and oils. Lemon is one of many essential oils when diffused can eliminate and destroy airborne germs and bacteria extremely effectively. Research conducted by Jean Valnet, M.D., showed that vaporized lemon oil can kill meningococcal bacteria in fifteen minutes, diphtheria in twenty minutes, typhoid in one hour, staphylococcus aureus in two hours, and pneumococcal bacteria in three hours.
In 1995, Komori et al. conducted a study at Mie University in Japan and found that citrus fragrance boosted immunity, induced relaxation, and reduced depression. Research also found that when lemon essential oil was diffused during test taking students were found to make 54 percent less errors and scores increased by as much as 50 percent.
Lemon Oil is rich in limonene (d-limonene) a chemical that has been studied on animals to show that it protects against pancreatic, stomach, colon, skin, and liver cancers.
4. There are oils to help with Respiratory sickness, get rid of lice, clean your floors, soothe burns, calm an upset tummy and so much more. I put a drop of Stress Away or Joy (two more oils that come with the kit that smell absolutely amazing!) when I leave the house with my two energetic boys, and I smell it throughout the day. It calms my brain and makes me smile. ;-)
5. We got a small diffuser for Joe's office, which is portable and can't spill so it's great for the car. I bought him RC which is specifically for respiratory issues. He's diffusing it every day to hopefully help him get less colds. He has allergies and has had a hard time lately.
I have so very much to learn! There are so many ways to use them, but I am all for saving money and using all natural products that help the body heal itself! I am almost 30, yikes!! And I am sure my body will appreciate the extra goodness. ;-) Hopefully we can cut down on our germs for the rest of the year!
Hugs!!
