New Essential Oil Diffusers Scent Your Home or Office
July 19, 2008 by admin
Filed under aromatherapy, essential oils, home fragrancing
There are many ways to scent our homes and offices. The most popular methods which include candles, potpourri, and plug-in air fresheners may not be the healthiest options for scenting your air (read here about the dangers of chemicals in your air fresheners).
One of the safest and most effective ways to use essential oils to add fragrance to your air is with a cold air diffuser. Not only will your air be cleaned and smell fragrant but you will benefit from the aromatherapy benefits of the essential oils you use in your diffuser.
Cold air diffusers are designed to atomize a microfine mist of essential oils into the air where they remain suspended for several hours. The diffuser disperses the oils without heat and therefore the essential oils retain their therapeutic benefits. Please note: it is not advised to heat essential oils as they lose their therapeutic benefits and may even create toxic compounds in your air.
It is important to only use 100% therapeutic grade essential oils when diffusing. Diffusing any other oils can be harmful to your health. Many oils are adulterated and contain synthetic ingredients including chemicals - things you definitely don’t want to have suspended in your air!
Young Living has recently included two new essential oil diffusers to their product line. These new diffusers include the most efficient and effective diffuser technologies.
Take a look at them here:
Click image to order. This state-of-the-art essential oil atomizer can diffuse any essential oil from lavender to sandalwood. The Ultrasonic Diffuser atomizes cold water and essential oils, breaking up molecules into a cool microscopic mist.
The diffuser also includes five programmed timing cycles; soothing lights to create a relaxing atmosphere in any room in your home; and three different diffusion rates for easy saturation control. If that isn’t enough, it also comes with a 5 ml bottle of lavender and Citrus Fresh™ essential oil! Attractive and easy to use, the Ultrasonic Diffuser is ideal for anyone wanting to obtain the most from their essentials oils. To learn more about the Ultrasonic Diffuser click here.
Click image to order. With Young Living’s new Travel Fan Diffuser, you can have the personal benefits of diffusing essential oils while vacationing or traveling on business. Young Living’s Travel Fan Diffuser is capable of diffusing any essential oil. It works by blowing cool air through the essential oil pad, releasing the therapeutic benefits of the essential oil into the air. The Travel Fan Diffuser has a unique shape with a lightweight design for easy portability, and is perfect for experiencing essentials oils while on the road. Plus, it includes a 5 ml bottle of lavender essential oil! To learn more about the Travel Fan Diffuser click here.
Whether you are diffusing essential oils for the therapeutic aromatherapy benefits or to clean or scent the air, Young Living’s diffusers are a great choice!
If you have any questions regarding diffusing or you would like to know more about Young Living’s essential oil diffusers, please contact me. I would be more that happy to help.

The Lighter Side of Lemon
June 19, 2008 by admin
Filed under Lemon, children's health, essential oil use
In my previous post Alkalize with Lemon I spoke about the many health benefits of Lemon Essential Oil . But you should know there is a lighter, more practical side to Lemon and if you have children you will find that Lemon Essential Oil is a must have in your bag of tricks!
Did you know that Lemon Essential Oil is great for getting sticky stuff off of things?
It works great for getting stickers off of purchased items, gum out of hair, and sticky stuff from hands like tree sap from playing with pine cones. Simply drip a drop or two on the area, gently spread around and wipe clean.
In the case of gum in hair, drip a drop or two of the oil on the hair and work in and around the gum. You will see it loosen and you can remove it - scissor free!
How about those annoying “temporary tattoos”? You know the ones I am talking about; the ones that really aren’t temporary but instead hang around for a week or so as they slowly fade away. Drip a drop or two of Lemon Essential Oil onto the tattoo, spread it around and then see how quickly it wipes off.
Oh, and don’t you love that food coloring that surrounds your child’s mouth from the ice cream man’s ice pops or those wonderful juices the kids love so much? No amount of scrubbing seems to rid those little mouths of the evidence. Lemon Essential Oil does! Put some on your finger, rub onto the affected area and gently wipe off the evidence.
Here’s a good one for you, Lemon Essential Oil removes marker from your child’s skin - in our case my son’s face.
My son attended a “Pirate” birthday party and he proudly came home with a mustache drawn on his face. It wasn’t until later in the evening (he wouldn’t let me remove it a moment earlier) that I received a phone call from a mother whose child attended the party and she exclaimed “can you believe the mother used marker on their faces?”. She went on to inform me how she had her son in the tub and had been scrubbing his face to no avail. She wanted to know if I was able to get the mustache off of my child. I giggled, pulled out my Lemon Essential Oil and was again amazed at the ease of removal. No scrubbing, no screaming, just the beautiful scent of oil.
How about the inevitable trips to the port-o-john? They’re fun huh? I think they are for sure a mother’s true nightmare!! If you happen to have a bottle of lemon essential oil with you (because you had it for your water 
) take advantage of the antiseptic properties of the lemon and use it to clean your little darling’s hands. Just a drop or two rubbed on the hands will be sure to kill any germs they picked up!
“When life gives you lemons make lemonade” couldn’t be more true for Lemon Essential Oil!!!
If you have any questions or need help placing an order, please contact me. I would be happy to help!

Alkalize with Lemon Essential Oil
June 15, 2008 by admin
Filed under Lemon, allergies, asthma, cold and flu, concentration, essential oil use, essential oils, featured, heartburn
Have you ever stumbled across something that was so simple to do, that took very little effort to add to your life, and brought great rewards? I love these kinds of moments because simple and me go perfect together. And when these ideas affect my health in a big way, well, for me, its like hitting the lottery!
I have one of those simple ideas for you and the effect it will have on your health is huge! Ready?
Drink a glass of lukewarm water with lemon juice in it every morning. Better yet, drink lemon water throughout your day. What’s so great about lemon water?
Lemon water is very alkalizing and when your body is in an alkaline state your body functions more optimally.
The body’s entire metabolic process depends on an alkaline environment. When we ingest too many acidic or acid-producing foods, excess acid corrodes tissues and organs, which leads to illness, sickness and disease. In addition, acid also provides a favorable environment for harmful bacteria and other micro organism that can damage organs, glands and body cells.
Its nice to know that simply drinking a glass of lemon water can help maintain the alkalinity of the body and ward off the acid that causes so much damage, but there are additional benefits to drinking lemon water. Here are a few:
- Cleanses the digestive system and helps eliminate waste products from the body more efficiently.
- It prevents the problem of constipation and diarrhea from taking place, by ensuring smooth bowel functions.
- Relieves symptoms of indigestion such as heartburn, bloating and belching.
- Good Source of Vitamin C.
- Enhances the beauty of your skin, rejuvenating it from within.
- Cleanses and aids in eliminating waste in the liver.
- Helps cleanse the kidneys.
- Eliminates water retention and helps with weight reduction.
- Lemon is antiseptic thereby able to help reduce or prevent infection
- Contains calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
- Lemon juice has been known to relieve asthma.
- When served hot, offers relief from cold and flu symptoms while providing some much needed Vitamin C.
- Flushes out body toxins
- enhances concentration and decision making
- contains over 68% d-limonene. D-limonene has been extensively studied for its ability to combat tumor growth in over 50 clinical studies.
Great stuff right?
HUGE benefits - very little effort. AWESOME!!
Add some Lemon water to your life and see if you don’t feel the benefits!
You can make this an easy habit to incorporate by using Lemon Essential Oil. A bottle of lemon essential oil is so portable it makes drinking lemon water throughout the day simple and lets face it, it sure beats carrying lemons around with you
In addition to convenience Lemon Essential Oil is concentrated so a little bit goes a long way. You should know that it takes 3000 lemons to produce 1 kilo (2.2lbs) of lemon oil. Imagine how much benefit you’ll receive from 1 drop of lemon oil in your water.
