Domino magazine features Young Living Essential Oils

Domino magazine features Young Living Essential Oils Lehi, Utah - Young Living Essential Oils, a Utah-based company specializing in therapeutic-grade essential oils and all-natural health products, has been mentioned in the December/January 2008 issue of Domino magazine. In this current issue, Joshua Onysko, founder and alchemist of Pangea Organics body-care, mentions Young Living's geranium essential oil as "one of the top eco-centric ways to look and feel fabulous in 2008."

When used as a calming scrub, Onysko says, "The best essential oil by far is geranium. The scent, sweet and pungent, goes right to the frontal lobe, relieving tension and anxiety. The oil also helps speed up the reproduction of skin cells - a few drops mixed into a cup of sea salt and jojoba oil is a rejuvenating body polish."

Domino is a style magazine centered on the home. Edited for busy women, readers.

GIVE YOURSELF A PROFESSIONAL FACIAL IN YOUR OWN HOME!

from Marcella von Harting's newsletter

Janet Kennis, Cosmetologist, shares her PROFESSIONAL FACIAL:

I now do all my professional facials with Young Living skincare and essential oils, with great results. The following is a basic outline of what my professional facials consist of:

1) Pick an oil: rose, lavender, juniper, sandalwood, or elemi (others are also good).

2) Add 1 or 2 drops of essential oil to V6 Mixing Oil and massage upper chest, shoulders, throat, face, ears, and hear.

3) Cleanse with Orange Blossom Facial Wash (less is better), and warm towels.

4) Cleanse 2nd time using a facial brush (not for sensitive or skin with acne).

5) Steam.

6) Apply facial scrub, either Satin Facial Scrub (Mint or Juniper) as a facial mask with steam.

7) On the feet, use V6 Mixing Oil and the same essential oil for 15 minutes of reflexology.

8) Remove the mask with warm towels.

9) Sponge buff to remove any extra mask and to exfoliate dry skin.

10) Examine skin, do extraction if needed (it is not a good idea to squeeze pimples and/or blackheads because this can cause infection and scarring.

11) Spray on Sandalwood Toner and apply special oils to problem areas.

12) Add Sandalwood Moisture Creme and apply cool towel (cotton towel soaked in cool distilled water and only 1 or 2 drops of the essential oil); this makes a cold mask.

13) 15 minutes of foot or hand reflexology.

14) Finish with VitaFlex.

15) Remove cool mask.

16) Use cotton mittens to do a light facial buff.

17) Use cotton gloves over face, ears, legs, and feet.

18) Finish with Boswellia Wrinkle Creme; use very little.

YOU are now a new person! In a salon, I would charge up to $145 for this service. Please remember less is better, and do not squeeze pimples.

Janet Kennis has been in the cosmetology field for 27 years and has advanced training in hair, nails, skin care, cosmetics, reflexology and the Raindrop Technique.

FACE FACTS: Toxic Chemicals in Bodycare Products

THE PROBLEM: TOXIC CHEMICALS ARE WIDESPREAD IN BODYCARE PRODUCTS

According to industry estimates, on any given day an average consumer may

use as many as 25 different cosmetic and personal care products, including

shampoo, nail polish, aftershave and lotion, containing more than 200

different chemical compounds.

A common assumption within the cosmetics industry is that 70% of what is

applied to the skin is absorbed into the body. It is not surprising, then,

that many dangerous chemicals have gotten into our bodies, our breast milk

and our children. Some of these chemicals are linked to cancer, birth

defects and other health problems that are on the rise in the human

population. Some chemicals found in a variety of cosmetics - including

phthalates, acrylamide, formaldehyde and ethylene oxide - are listed by EPA

and the state of California as carcinogens or reproductive toxins.

While chemicals in any one product alone are unlikely to cause harm,

repeated exposures to industrial chemicals from many different sources on a

daily basis add up over time. Chemicals from multiple products used every

day may also interact in the body, causing even more harm.

Cancer-causing compounds According to a report by the Environmental Working

Group, which examined ingredients in more than 15,000 personal care

products, one of every 100 products on the market contains ingredients

certified by government authorities as known human carcinogens, including

shampoos, lotions, make-up foundations, and lip balms manufactured by Almay,

Neutrogena, Grecian Formula, and many others. An astonishing one-third of

all products contain one or more ingredients classified as possible human

carcinogens.

Carcinogenic coloring EWG also found that seventy-one hair dye products

contain ingredients derived from carcinogenic coal tar. Coal tar containing

products include dyes made by Clairol, Revlon, L'Oreal, and others. Coal tar

hair dyes are one of the few products for which FDA has issued consumer

advice on the benefits of reducing use, in this case as a way to potentially

"reduce the risk of cancer" (FDA 1993). These products are of great concern

to the health of women of color. For example, according to industry data, 42

percent of African-American women color their hair in a salon.

African-Americans are almost twice as likely to die of cancer than any other

minority group, and 20% more likely than whites.

Impure ingredients According to EWG’s research, nearly 70 percent of all

products contain ingredients that can be contaminated with impurities linked

to cancer and other health problems. Studies by FDA and European agencies

show that in some cases these impurities occur in nearly half of all

products tested (FDA 1996, DTI 1998). Some manufacturers buy ingredients

certified by an independent organization called United States Pharmacopeia

(USP), which may contain lower levels of harmful impurities, but the

criteria for certification are not public. Some companies may purchase or

manufacture refined, purified ingredients, but many do not. Consumers and

government health officials have no way to know.

Spotlight on New Research Recently released studies now link phthalates

(hormone-disrupting chemicals often labeled only as "fragrance") to genital

abnormalities in baby boys. Phthalates are found in many popular brands of

lotion, perfume, hair care and nail products. In a recent issue of

Environmental Health Perspectives, scientists reported a direct correlation

between phthalate levels in pregnant women and changes to the reproductive

organs in their male babies. According to a recent FDA study, as many as

two-thirds of products tested contain phthalates, which have also been

linked to cancer.

THE PROBLEM: U.S. LAWS DON'T PROTECT US Major loopholes in federal law allow

the $60 billion cosmetics industry to put unlimited amounts of chemicals

into personal care products with no required testing, no monitoring of

health effects, and inadequate labeling requirements.

According to the government agency that regulates cosmetics, the FDA's

Office of Cosmetics and Colors, "...a cosmetic manufacturer may use almost

any raw material as a cosmetic ingredient and market the product without an

approval from FDA" (FDA 1999).

Instead, the toxicity of product ingredients is monitored almost exclusively

by a self- policing industry body, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR)

panel. Because testing is voluntary and controlled by manufacturers, almost

90% of 10,500 ingredients used in personal care products have not been

evaluated for safety by the CIR or anyone else (FDA 2000, CIR 2003).

Therefore, companies routinely market products with ingredients that are

poorly studied, not studied at all, or worse, known to pose potentially

serious health risks.

Chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects and other health problems do not

belong in products we use on our bodies. Period.

As a $60 billion industry that sells images of health and beauty, the

cosmetics industry should use non-toxic ingredients that will not harm our

health.

Make Your Own Ointments and Salves the Easy Young Living Way

By Debra Raybern

Ointments or salves can be easy to use for many topical applications, but unless you know your herbs, have the right ingredients and tools, are knowledgeable about making ointments from scratch and have about 4 hours to spare, making salves and ointments can be messy, time consuming and a possible waste of herbs.  In my Master Herbalist Training I always enjoyed making salves and ointments and have taught many classes on the subject, but the time and mess involved makes this a project many people do not want to tackle.

Would you like an easy way to create that special salve in minutes with almost no mess? Then read on for the simplest way to take your Young Living truly therapeutic grade essential oils to new heights. I have included several recipes to get you started.  I have given details on using these ointments, as it should be self explanatory.

Have fun and enjoy your new creations.               

Supplies you’ll need

Rose Ointment from Young Living #3709 $19.75 Dist. (a mildly scented essential oil ointment for topical use that is ideally suited for enhancing with more essential oils to create your personal blend

Essential oils selected for your recipe

Small stainless steel sauce pan (one cup is ideal) 

Label to mark your new creation

Optional – smaller jars for lip balms or for sharing (may be purchased at www.abundant-health4u.com )

Basic Instructions you will follow:

1. Scoop out the Rose Ointment into the saucepan
2. Drop the essential oils from the recipe into the empty Rose Ointment container. (do not wipe the container clean, just use a blunt knife or spatula to empty most of the contents)
3. Warm the Rose Ointment on medium high heat until melted, remove from heat and let cool 2-5 minutes. Wiggle the pan around – like the Jiffy Pop popcorn – so you get everything melted on the lowest heat possible.
4. Pour melted Rose Ointment back into its container (which now has your added essential oils).  The melted Rose Ointment will automatically mix with the added essential oils.
5. Let sit uncovered until solid.  DO NOT place in refrigerator or freezer to hasten this process.  You will be left with a hole in the middle of the jar.  Hardening should only take about one hour, depending on your room air temperature.
6. Label and use.

**Remember that since you are using Young Living’s proprietary Rose Ointment as your base, you may freely use, share and give away BUT you may not make for resale.

Show your friends you care and give someone a special ointment for a particular health challenge.  What a simple and easy way to introduce someone to the awesome power and wonder of Young Living Essential Oils.  Let your creative juices go!  You may consult a variety of essential oil educational books for ideas other than those presented in this article.

The following recipes I have used on clients with excellent results.

Add the following essential oils to the 2 ounce jar of Rose Ointment.  All numbers preceding the essential oil name are drops.  When creating your own recipe, keep the number of drops to 10 per 2 ounces of ointment base.  A few of the recipes below use more than the suggested drops. Do not use more than eight single oils or three blends in your creations.

Myrrh, Patchouli and Helichrysum---natural sun screen help..............

Safe suntan or sunscreen lotion for our grandchildren.....

Hello Oilers

In Dr.DeVita's book Saving Face she says, "Certain natural vegetable oils and essential oils have been found to provide some protection against the sun. Sesame oil can block or reduce about 30% of the burning rays; coconut and olive oils about 20% and Aloe Vera inhibits about 20%. Helichrysum has been researched for its ability to effectively screen out some of the sun's rays." She gives the following formulas for sun block, and sunscreen lotions. Sun block: Mix 3-6 drops Helichrysum (Helichrysum Italicum) with  100 drops of sesame oil or olive oil. Apply on skin every few hours.
Sunscreen: 1 ounce sesame oil, coconut oil or olive oil, 10 drops
Helichrysum, 5 drops Lavender and 3 drops Chamomile. Mix and apply.
Hope that helps,
Wendy

Hello

I have had wonderful results with Patchouli. After I wash my face, I use 2-3 drops of Patchouli. In the Higley's. It says it may help acne,
protects against UV radiation, tightens loose skin, prevents wrinkles, heals chapped skin and so on. My face has never looked better. I receive compliments frequently. Plus, this summer my face never burned in the sun.
This is a great oil for both men and women.
Enjoying the sun,

Myrrh is great for the skin. I use Myrrh in V6 when I do my wraps and it will draw little rods of petrochemicals out of my belly. (Glad to get them off my reproductive organs.) But since Myrrh is an analgesic and it supports the skin, any rashes or reactions don't itch or irritate me.

By the way, spring is here and so is more sunshine. Put half a 15 ml bottle of Myrrh in a 3.8 ounce bottle of V6 to use as sunscreen. You can add Sandalwood to it if you want to improve the youthfulness of your skin.

Getting a Manicure

Yesterday my neighbor called me that she finally got her manicurist license and invited me to a 1/2 off visit. I went
for a pedicure this morning and was appalled as to how strong these chemicals she used on the previous customer were smelling. She has small children who are at school and daycare during the day, but when they come home, I bet that home still reeks of these products.
Any input really would be appreciated.

Thanks with hugs, Margarete

Hi Margarete !

At the minimum, your neighbor should be diffusing oils in her home and workspace and ventilating. I don't know about where you live, but in my state, proper ventilation when using these products is the law.

If you can talk her into a more natural way of doing her business, that would be awesome ! She could try
salt soaks, sugar scrubs, nourishing oil rubs - all with some beautiful oils added in ! Citrus oils combined with
a little (very little) cinnamon are luscious and when combined with organic sugar and some V-6 are gently exfoliating and leave the skin incredibly soft and hydrated. She could use a soak for hands (or feet) with bath gel base and just a drop or two of Highest Potential and finish with Sensation Lotion. Animal Scents and a warm towel will soften and soothe heels, elbows, knees - any spot that's rough. For beautiful nails she could buff with a buffing sponge until pink and glowing - very attractive and not a drop of polish needed !

Just a few ideas - maybe you have a new customer !!!  Kathie

Young Living Shampoo and Conditioner

A testament to Young Living's AromaSilk line
                   of hair care products........

When I became a joyful oiler and started to use the YL shampoos, I noticed softer hair a week after using the product.  I was sold!  My hair also stopped having split ends, seemed in better condition, and my hair line began to change - the hairline crept forward along my forehead, not a lot, just a little.

I left work two years ago to be a full-time student of music.  In doing so, I gave up a substantial income for a better future.  I am, as most students (particularly music students) are, poor (in dollars, but not in spirit!).

I generally try to keep a 6 month supply of products on hand.  By really conserving my usage of some of the YL products, I stretch
my supply well beyond the 6 months, and about a year ago I ran out of shampoo and conditioner.  I switched to cheap stuff from
the store.

I noticed I was losing hair faster.  My hair seemed more like straw than the lovely, soft, and alive feeling I had come to expect from YL.  It became harder to keep my hair style.  Split ends began creeping in at an alarming rate.  I cut my waist-long hair to chin length to cope with the changes.  Everytime I shampooed my hair, I longed for my wonderful, soothing Lavender shampoo and conditioner.  All I could think of was the poison I was inflicting on myself.

Finally, I showed my husband a spot on my scalp where the hair was thinning.  I begged him to find room in our budget for me to purchase shampoo and conditioner.  He was wonderful, and agreed.  (He loves these products and asks for some of them by name.)  I began using the YL shampoo again about 4 months ago.

My hair is shorter now for summer, but it is now so soft, so shiny, so vibrant.  The last time I had my hair trimmed, the person trimming it commented on how healthy my hair was and asked what I used.  I told her all about our products!  I told her my experience with the SLS laden products, and how YL made my hair so much better.

The balding spot is filling in, and I see signs of new hair growth frequently.  No split ends (though admittedly my hair is much shorter);  my hair holds a style and curl much longer.  Tremendous improvement.

YL is the best thing I have ever used, and hopefully, I will never be without it again!  I am overjoyed to learn that they have planned improvements, because it means it will only be better for my hair!

Recently, I had lasik surgery to correct nearsighteness.  One of the requirements was that for several days before I was to have the surgery, I had to use a drop of baby shampoo on a wet washcloth, and wash my eyelids thoroughly.  I chose instead to use YL shampoo, because it is much better and safer, even though the baby shampoo did not have SLS.  I never experienced any stinging or discomfort.  I have continued this procedure now that the surgery has had time to heal, because I found it was an excellent way to cleanse my eyes of make-up and daily gunk that builds up from bad hair.  I feel good knowing I'm using a product that is safe and gentle.

If you are not using Young Living shampoo/conditioner products, you are doing your hair a great disservice!

“My first exposure to Young Living was doing cancer research using their line of essential oils. What impressed me the most about Young Living was the quality, purity and consistency of their products. So, when I heard about their new skin care regimen that utilized the benefits of essential oils, I knew I had to try it! This product is unique because it combines the technology of DNA recovery enzymes with pure essential oils, to create a synergy not found in other anti-aging products on the market. As a committed user, I am so impressed with the way A·R·T has made my skin feel. Its ability to moisturize my dry skin without weighing it down or clogging my pores is critical for me. Even my husband has noticed my softer, clearer skin! As a scientist, I am very impressed with the research and the quality of ingredients in these products, but as a woman, I am enjoying the way it makes my skin feel and benefiting from the results!”
