Oil Safety & Tips

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share some facts that everyone should know when using essential oils!

1. The oils are 100% pure and therapeutic grade that is why they have such amazing affects. They are the only oils I would suggest ingested and taken orally.

2 The oils have the ability to get pull junk out of your system, they also think plastic is junk and start breaking it down. Please do not use oils in plastic bottles or Styrofoam when you will be ingesting them. An exception to this rule is the harder plastic grade containers like what the Thieves cleaner, massage oils, and ointment are in; those are a special grade of hard plastic. Also, those blends are diluted and not full strength in the plastic. I like to reuse the Thieves cleaner bottles, and add a sprayer to it.  It is ok to use them in spray bottles for short amounts of time, when you are making air freshener but the oils will eventually cause you to use another sprayer top on it. 

3. It is best to use oils in ceramic, stainless steel, or glass. In the Swiftfire store on swiftfire.org has stainless steel bottles for purchase. I love the new YL& Swiftfire mugs!

4. To keep the oils smelling like the original smell, it is best to not touch the top of the oil bottles when dispensing. You want to drop oils into your hands and not to touch the tops, so you do not dilute or change the smell of the oils. Your hands have natural oils and we do not want them in your Young Living oils. You do not want the tops to smell like many different oils. 

5. Oil sensation: If oil has gotten in eye, or if any area is too cool or too hot sensation occurs. Please put cooking oil, olive oil, or v-6 to dilute the sensation. Do NOT use water. OIL & WATER do not mix, and water will push oil further into the skin.

6.  Strength & SMELL of OILS- The oils that your body needs usually stink to you, or smell really strong. This is a strange concept, but has been proven true in my life. When I really need an oil, it will smell really strong, and/or I will think it stinks. Sometimes the people who are chemically overloaded have a strong dislike of the oils’ smell. In these cases, on feet, or in capsules might be a good way to start them using the product. As I use the oils that I find stink, over time they start smelling better, and I know I am starting to need them less. Also taking sulfurzyme will help the cells transportors (ligans) and make the oils more effective. 

I tell people to put on their feet, and add an oil you like on top of it afterwards. :) The smell will improve as you need it less. 

7.     You only need 1 to 2 drops per application. A 5 ml oil bottle has approx 75-100 drops, and a 15 ml has approximately 250-300 drops of oil. It is super concentrated, 1 peppermint drop is the equivalent of 15 cups of tea.

8.    Oil Intelligence/Body Intelligence- The oil goes/is taken by the cells to where it is needed in the body. It goes to the areas that need help. I witnessed this a few times in a very clear manner. I had someone swab their nose with RC, and a few minutes later she said she felt it in her chest. I told her it goes where it is needed and asked what issues she was having in her chest. She said she was dealing with a chest infection. Another time, I had a friend put oils on her stomach. She was currently having bladder and kidney issues. She was amazed and said she felt them all the way through her skin all the way into her back.

roll away your allergies

Hello everyone!

I'm really excited because lately I've been using my oils everyday a couple times a day, plus every night in my daughter's room while she sleeps. So, I was on Pinterest today, and I found a post that had to do with allergies and Young Living essential oils. That was the one thing that my husband asked me about before I bought my kit, was if they would help with his allergies. He's a lawn guy, and he always has such bad allergies because of it. My favorite oils to diffuse are Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint. Well, I have been out of Lavender for awhile now, but I just reordered it. Sooooo excited! Lavender really is my favorite. But I've been trying not to use Peppermint because I'm breast feeding my baby, and Peppermint has been known to dry up a woman's milk supply. So, back to Pinterest, I can't believe I didn't think about doing it myself. I found a recipe to make a roll-on bottle for allergies. My husband always wants me to put in oils that help with his allergies, so I'm so excited about making him a roll-on. He will be able to roll in onto himself anytime he wants, and it won't impact my milk supply. Yay!

So, here is what I will be making!!

- Lavender is a natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory

- Lemon is an anti-inflammatory

- Peppermint is an analgesic and anti-inflammatory and relieves nasal congestion

- Copaiba is also an anti-inflammatory, but it also will enhance the other oils and make them more powerful

Recipe:

- 25 drops of Lavender Essential Oil

- 25 drops of Lemon Essential Oil

- 25 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil

- 25 drops of Copaiba Essential Oil

- Carrier Oil (i.e. Coconut Oil)

Add the essential oils to a 10-ml glass roll-on bottle and then fill the rest of the way with your choice of carrier oil, and then shake gently. You will want to use an amber or frosted blue bottle to help shield your oil from direct sunlight. 

If you don't want to make the roll-on, you can use these oils other ways to help with your allergies.

- diffuse 3 drops of each: Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint essential oils

- apply 1 drop of each: Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, and Copaiba essential oils, mixed with a carrier oil to the back of the neck, behind the ears, and/or on the bottoms of the feet, as often as needed

- dip a cotton swab into a mixture of one drop of Lavender essential oil and one drop of a carrier oil, swab just inside the nose

- rub R.C., Breathe Again, or Eucalyptus essential oil on either side of your nose when your symptoms are really bad, but stay far away from your eyes as possible

- you can also make your own capsules to ingest the oils

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! I love talking about oils even if you don't want to order. :)

Relax and get relief with oils

Hello everyone!

So, it's been a crazy couple of weeks! I threw a baby shower for my sister-in-law, and we are trying to move! Also to have a four month old, running around with you to look at houses! Wow! So, I've gotten a little stressed and had a few headaches! (all worth it hehe) I miss being so busy! :) So, of course, I used my amazing oils to help with the stress and headaches!

My amazing Stress Away oil! Last night, I was trying to get things all finished for the baby shower and get things put together for the realtor to rent a different house. Yes, I got it all done, but I was stressed! So, this was my first time using this oil! I liked how I didn't feel like the smell was super strong, it was subtle! I really enjoyed it! Within minutes, my headache was gone and I felt better! Normally after finishing things, it takes me a long time to calm down, but this was so fast! I loved it!! 

Sometimes during the day, my stomach would be upset, and one night I couldn't sleep because of it. Of course, I went to get my DiGize essential oil! I used to always hate the smell, but it always worked so I just ignored it. Now, I don't hate it so much. But seriously, when I say instant relief, I'm not lying! I love how you can see and feel the oils work! I also put it in my diffuser one day when I wasn't feeling good! Amazing!

So, I've been using Cedarwood for my daughter in her diffuser and rubbing on her for when she goes to bed at night, well I'm starting to basically run out, and I didn't realize that I needed more when I placed my order, and I normally order at the end of the month. So, I have needed to find another oil that I have to use. I really have run out of quite a few of them that I would normally use. I talked to my sister-in-law, and she recommended Valor! I have never used it before. I seem to get into a routine of the same oils and not trying my others. Well, I loved the smell!! My daughter also slept just as well as any other night! 

Valor can be used for many different things! But, I'm using it for its feeling of calmness, peace, and relaxation. Valor is so popular that they made a Valor II because they couldn't keep up with all of the demand of the product. They kept running out of a certain ingredient, so they made a very similar version of it for when Valor is out of stock. 

The oils that are contained in Valor are:

- Spruce

- Rosewood

- Blue Tansy

- Frankincense

- and the carrier oil is Almond Oil

I have really been loving using different oils lately since I'm almost out of all of my normal ones! haha! If you know of something that you have or someone you know has a problem with, and you want to know if there's an oil that might help relieve it or something. Please let me know! I'd love to help!
