Myrrh

Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) is not an oil I'm super familiar with, but you can get 10% off if you order it during the month of December.  So I thought I'd tell you a bit about it.

Myrrh's medicinal properties include: Powerful antioxidant, antitumoral, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antiparasitic, analgesic/anesthetic.
Uses include: Diabetes, cancer, hepatitis, fungal infections (Candida, ringworm, eczema), tooth/gum infections, skin conditions (chapped, cracked, wrinkles, stretch marks) [from the: Essential Oils Desk Reference 5th addition]

Myrrh is often heard in reference to Frankincense and Gold as one of the gifts that the wise men brought to the Christ Child. The Arabian people used it for chapped and cracked skin- perfect for this time of year don't you think? When dry hands and lips and feet are in abundance.
Diffusing or inhaling of myrrh helps uplift the spirits and stimulates the hypothalamus, pineal, and pituitary glands, all of which produce hormones, and I don't know about you but man, hormone swings are the devil.

If you use Myrrh please leave a comment below and tell me how this oil has helped you and your family or friends, I love to hear new stories always.

God bless you this Christmas season with the choicest of blessings.

Lemongrass

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) is another oil I use frequently.  Historically it was used for purification and digestion.

Lemongrass's medical properties: Antifungal, antibacterial, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, regenerates connective tissues and ligaments, dilates blood vessels, improves circulation, promotes lymph flow.

Uses include: bladder infection, respiratory/sinus infection, digestive problems, parasites, torn ligaments/muscles, fluid retention, varicose veins, Salmonella. [from the: Essential Oils Desk Reference 5th addition]

I LOVE this oil.  First off it smells great to me.  Secondly, I was once told to use it before and after going to a public swimming pool, or any other place I would be exposed to large amounts of chlorinated water.  As we all know, our skin absorbs what is placed next to it, be that chemical, natural substance, or toxins.  Using Lemongrass helps our bodies get rid of any chlorine that is taken into the body- doesn't that sound wonderful?
I usually add a few drops to my regular bath and always come away feeling refreshed and ready to be active.  I will also diffuse it in my trusty diffuser when I don't have time for a bath, but need a bit of a pick me up.

Dragon Time

The first product I'm going to share with you is a blend specific to YL called Dragon Time.  This oil has saved me SO many times, as well as making it easier on my husband to be around me.
I laughed a little that they decided to name it Dragon Time because it's specifically made for women during 'that time of month'.  Yup.  Appropriate a little?

Dragon Time is composed of a mixture of Clary Sage, Lavender, Jasmine, Fennel, Marjoram, and Yarrow essential oils.
This blend relieves PMS symptoms and menstrual discomforts including cramping and irregular periods. It helps balance emotions, alleviating mood swings and headaches caused by hormonal imbalance. [from the: Essential Oils Desk Reference 5th addition.]

I was recommended this oil by an aunt of mine, also an employee at one of Young Living's oil farms- and I've adored it ever since.  I personally suffer from extremely painful periods- down flat in bed for up to 3 days at a time, vomiting was once a regular occurrence when Aunt Sally was visiting, unable to do much of anything except pray the pain will stop.  Pain meds didn't work- primarily because as soon as I take them I'd throw up.  I did go to my doctor who prescribed an anti-nausea medication as well as high dose of painkiller, which worked for a while, but I personally don't care for the 'drugged out' feeling.... and I'd find that I was pushing myself harder while not feeling the pain but when the drugs wore off I hurt even worse because I hadn't stopped the abuse on my body, just numbed it.

This oil has saved my life.  It works.  Any time I am in extreme discomfort, and sometimes even before things really start to hurt, I'll apply the oil directly to my lower abdomen and back, and within 20 minutes I am no longer considering dying as a feasible alternative.  I do have to caution though, this oil is a 'hot' one and will sting, so I recommend diluting 1 part essential oil to 1 part carrier oil.  Or you can go with the Dragon Time Massage Oil, or the Dragon Time Bath & Shower Gel.  I personally like the Dragon Time massage oil added to my bath because the carrier oil keeps my skin nice and moisturized even after a long soaking in the bath. **Be aware though, the massage oil does have coconut oil in it so if you have a sensitivity or allergy to that oil it wouldn't be a good route to go**

Please feel free to visit my website to order this wonderful product and here's to hoping you love this oil as much as I do!

Welcome!!

Welcome to my Young Living Essential Oils website.  I am a distributor for the Young Living oils, have been for a few years now, and before that my mother was as well; so I grew up knowing a little about them, but recently decided that I am going to make the knowledge and learning about them a little more of a priority in my life- and I thought "Why not share this with others?"
So as I learn, you will be too.
Thank you for your interest and God bless you and your family!
