Relieving Stress with Essential Oils—Part II

Apr 28th, 2014 | Category: Young Living Product Blog

Relax. It’s good for you; you deserve it; and it takes less time than you think! The key to managing daily stress is to learn healthy coping strategies. In this, the second part of my Relieving Stress series, I’ll share more ideas for quick, simple ways to relax your mind and body.

Straighten Up

Taking a minute to organize and straighten your home or work environment will do a world of good to remove mentally distracting clutter. A simple and organized space will allow you to focus more fully on the task at hand.

Take a Short Walk

If you need a break during work, take a short walk outside. Breathing fresh air and enjoying some sunshine will get your circulation flowing and refresh and stretch your muscles.

Meditate

If you’re like me, free time is an extravagance that you don’t enjoy frequently. However, just three minutes of meditation can calm your mind and help create a more peaceful and manageable day. To take your meditation to the next level, diffuse or apply a few drops of the following essential oils topically to your temples, the nape of your neck, your heart, or the soles of your feet while meditating:

Product Spotlight: Slique™ Bars

Apr 24th, 2014 | Category: Young Living Product Blog

Young Living’s Slique™ product line is formulated with unique, natural ingredients and is designed to support individual weight-management goals.* Slique Bars, the newest addition to this line, are a perfect snack option between or before meals to help manage satiety.

So, how do they work? While developing the bars, we focused on three key components: potato skin extract, fiber, and nutrition.

Potato skin extract contains a special protein that increases your body’s release of cholecystokinin (CCK). The body uses CCK to signal to your brain that food has been eaten, promoting feelings of fullness sooner and for longer periods of time, thereby managing hunger. Unlike so-called “fat burners” found on the market today, this all-natural ingredient does not stimulate metabolism, cause jitters, or have other side effects generally associated with commonly used weight-management ingredients.

Fiber found in chicory root inulin is insoluble, meaning it is not digested or absorbed in the digestive tract. This bulk material takes up space, helping you feel full and avoid overeating.

Essential nutrition comes from exotic nuts and berries, including baru nuts, goldenberries, and wolfberries. D. Gary Young also added cacao nibs that are prepared using a unique dehydration process. Our nibs are dried using low heat to preserve more of the cacao’s rich health benefits.

Powered by these key components, Slique Bars can help you feel fuller longer. They are the perfect snack to help you avoid mindless eating between meals and before or after workouts!

Leave me a comment and share how you use these delicious bars during your daily routine.

—Ryan Seely, Associate Product Marketing Manager

*For optimal results, Slique Bars should be taken with 12 ounces of water and should be used as part of a Slique regimen consisting of other Slique products, exercise, and a sensible diet.

Relieving Stress with Essential Oils—Part I

Apr 22nd, 2014 | Category: Young Living Product Blog

Whether it comes from the busy tax season or juggling family and work schedules, everyone experiences stress in their lives. We can’t always control what challenges we face, but we can control how we react. In the first part of my Relieving Stress series, I’m going to share some simple things that I have found useful in reducing my stress levels and creating a more energizing and relaxed environment.

Inhale Essential Oils Directly or Diffuse

When I need a boost of pep and clarity of mind, I’ll put a drop of Peppermint on my palm, rub my hands together, cup my hands over my nose, and take three deep breaths. I also use Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier, V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex, or any Young Living lotions afterward so I don’t get essential oils in my eyes or keyboard. Inhale or diffuse any of the following oils to give yourself a lift:

Muscle Relief

Getting a massage with Ortho Ease®, Relaxation™, or Ortho Sport® massage oils helps relieve, relax, and soothe tired, overworked muscles. You can even give a self-massage: Add a few drops of V-6 to a drop of Relieve It™, PanAway®, or Wintergreen and rub your hands and feet. The pressure points on these extremities act as a full-body massage. I also take soothing, hot baths with Epsom salt and 8–10 drops of Peace Calming® or any of our Eucalyptus oils (Blue, Globulus, or Radiata) for a peaceful and relaxing break.

For relaxation on the go, I always keep a Deep Relief™ Roll-On in my purse. My shoulders and back get tired from sitting at my desk, so I’ll apply the oils to my shoulders during the day at work or right before bed to soothe those tight muscles.

Try these simple but effective ideas and you’ll notice immediate relief from life’s daily stresses! Please leave a comment below and share some of your own ideas!

Boswellia Wrinkle Cream—Six Ingredients for Looking Younger

Apr 14th, 2014 | Category: Young Living Product Blog

Are you heading into your 30s, 40s, or better? Here are six reasons to add Young Living’s Boswellia Wrinkle Cream™ to your antiaging strategy:

  1. Frankincense
  2. Myrrh
  3. Sandalwood
  4. Sodium hyaluronate
  5. Grape seed extract
  6. Aloe vera

Frankincense and Myrrh were personal-care favorites of the ancient Egyptians for keeping skin looking and feeling younger. Frankincense was used to revive and refresh, and Myrrh was used for soothing chapped, cracked skin.

Ancient healers in India used Sandalwood to improve skin condition, and it is still used today in a wide variety of products that moisturize and enhance the skin.

Along with these time-tested essential oils, Boswellia Wrinkle Cream contains other key natural ingredients:

  • Sodium hyaluronate is a powerful humectant that attracts and retains moisture up to 1,000 times its own weight.
  • Grape seed extract contains resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant that fights the free radical damage that can cause early aging.
  • Aloe vera is a popular ingredient whose natural properties allow for easy absorption to revitalize multiple layers of skin.

With these fantastic skin-nourishing ingredients and many more, you can keep your youthful glow longer with Boswellia Wrinkle Cream!

I have loved reading your comments since my March 24 post. As promised, here are the 10 winners who will receive a free Orange Blossom Facial Wash™:

  1. Uma V.
  2. Sammy L.
  3. Sara C.
  4. Ashley H.
  5. Jill N.
  6. Tiffany S.
  7. Celina B.

  9. Christie A.
  10. Kathy J.

Product Spotlight: Longevity Softgels

Apr 11th, 2014 | Category: Young Living Product Blog

Longevity was formulated by D. Gary Young as Young Living’s solution to natural, powerful antioxidant support. Simply put, antioxidants are molecules that inhibit the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation—a natural process by which cells are damaged after interacting with oxygen—can be easily explained through the results of an elementary school science project involving apple slices. Take two apples, slice one into quarters, and leave the other whole. Now sit back and watch. The sliced apple will start to turn brown after 10-15 minutes, while the uncut apple will stay fresh for days, if not weeks. Why did the sliced apple turn brown? Once the unprotected apple cells came in contact with oxygen, oxidation began.

Cells can become damaged through the oxidation process, resulting in free radicals that have the potential to wreak havoc in the body. Although they do occur naturally in the body, free radicals can be increased through a myriad of sources, including diet, water, pollution, smoking, and excessive intake of alcohol. Antioxidants are nature’s way of neutralizing free radicals and oxidation.

Longevity’s proprietary blend of fat-soluble antioxidants contains the following pure essential oils:

  • Clove—one of nature’s strongest antioxidants
  • Thyme—rich in thymol; supports overall immune health*
  • Orange—rich in d-limonene, a powerful antioxidant
  • Frankincense—supports normal immune health*

This powerful blend should be taken daily to support the body’s systems and help offset the damaging effects of poor diet and environmental stressors. Individuals interested in additional antioxidant support should also consider adding NingXia Red®, Slique™ Tea, and OmegaGize3™.

We would love to hear from you! Leave a comment telling us which Young Living products you like to use with Longevity softgels.

The Perfect Pair—NingXia Red and NingXia Nitro

Apr 9th, 2014 | Category: Young Living Product Blog

In today’s fast-paced world, everyone is looking for ways to gain an edge in their productivity and overall energy levels. This desire has contributed to an explosion in the energy drink market—a market that has become a $27 billion-per-year industry. With so much money on the line, many companies take the quick and easy route by slapping energy drink labels on simple combinations that contain copious amounts of caffeine, sugar, and other dangerous ingredients. These companies ignore the major underlying factors in low energy and proper nutrition!

This approach has garnered a rise in regulatory scrutiny, an increase in research, and the uncovering of energy drink-related health risks. Research on the ill effects of many of these energy drinks is published almost monthly; however, it appears to have little effect on the public. Sales continue to soar, while ER visits drastically increase.

So what can we do? Let’s look at a couple of natural solutions to the energy dilemma:

NingXia Red® combines the extraordinary wolfberry superfruit with pure essential oils (Orange, Yuzu, Lemon, and Tangerine) in a powerful whole-body nutrient infusion. When taken daily NingXia Red replenishes energy levels and supports overall nutrition.

NingXia Nitro™ blends pure essential oils (Peppermint, Spearmint, Black Pepper, and Nutmeg) with naturally powerful ingredients such as d-ribose, green tea extract, and B vitamins. These ingredients, in addition to a Nitro blend of vanilla, chocolate, wolfberry seed, and yerba mate, provide a lift to one’s mental clarity and focus, while also providing a surge of energy. Designed to be taken when a boost is needed and with less caffeine than a cup of coffee, Nitro is a perfect option for on-the-go use.

These synergistic products are designed to be the healthy answer to the energy question. To help you get started on your journey to improved energy, we are going to give away two NingXia Red/Nitro product packs (over $100 value) to two random individuals who leave a comment on this blog post.

— Ryan Seely, Associate Product Marketing Manager

  • I love the NingXia Red, haven’t tried the Nitro yet, but would love to give it a try

  • I can’t wait to Start the Slique Complete Program, wish the nitro was included!

  • I want to try these!

  • My son loves this combo for a boost before his high school soccer games!

  • Really wanting to try the nitro!

  • I’d love these!

Introducing the New Aroma Diffuser!

Apr 7th, 2014 | Category: Young Living Product Blog

We are excited to announce the newest product in our Young Living diffuser family! The Aroma Diffuser utilizes ultrasonic technology to break up the mixture of essential oils and water into extremely fine microparticles and disperses the ingredients in essential oils into the air. It provides an excellent method of calming and moisturizing to build a healthy, natural, and pure living environment.

Features of the new Aroma Diffuser include an LED light; an elegant, bamboo-inspired design; timer settings for 1 or 4 hours of continuous diffusion; and the ability to use ordinary tap or mineral water. Approximate dimensions are 25.2 cm high, 12.6 cm wide, and 7.5 cm deep.

I’ve been fortunate enough to use the Aroma Diffuser and find that not only is it a stylish design that would complement most décor, but it is also quiet and generates a generous vapor volume. This new diffuser is a simple and effective way to introduce the benefits of Young Living essential oils to others.

Here are a few blend suggestions from our Young Living Facebook fans that you can test out in your new Aroma Diffuser:

“Weight loss blend: Peppermint, Lemon, and Grapefruit!” —Danica N.

Peace Calming® and Clarity.” —Bri J.

Rosemary/Lemon, Citrus Fresh™/Lavender, Lavender/Citrus Fresh, Grapefruit/Peppermint.” —Amarilys B.

“Seven drops of Lime and three drops of Hinoki.” —Dionne G.

Cedarwood and Tangerine!” —Michelle J.

“Lavender and Lime!” —Dana B.

Orange and Peace Calming are good together.” —Jennifer K.

Leave a comment and let us know your favorite diffuser blends. If you have the opportunity to try the new Aroma Diffuser, we’d love to hear your comments as well!
