Welcome to Discovering New Products!

I am your host, your MC, and your guide for this class, Mary Leigh Brown.

 

I ordered my Young Living starter kit in December of 2013 and told my husband I got a "really nice plug in". Well, since then I've come to know and love so much more than just my "plug in". #blessmyheart

I have loved exploring new to me products and make it a point to always try new products. For a period, I ordered a new to me oil every month! I built quite the stash!
Today we will explore some favorite products that might be "new to you".

 

Let's get started!

 

THE WIDE WORLD OF YOUNG LIVING

Most of us got started with Young Living because oils. Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint, Thieves....the staples!

But man oh man, is there so much more to Young Living!

You will never run out of new products to explore with Young Living!

 

BRAIN POWER ESSENTIAL OIL

Brain fog? Mom brain? Homework time? Struggling reader? Delayed speech? This oils is for you!  Are you ready for the oils in this blend?

- Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood

- Cedarwood

- Frankincense

- Melissa

- Blue Cypress

- Lavender

-Helichrysum
What a list, eh? Talk about a powerhouse blend!

These oils are high in sesquiterpene compounds that increase the activity in the pineal, pituitary, and hypothalamus glands. They increase the output of growth hormones and melatonin. These oils combine to help dissolve petrochemicals that congest the receptor sites in our brains- um, good bye brain fog!!

Brain Power can help with normal day to day concentration and focus, or during those times you need to be functioning at full brain capacity.

We apply this oil to to the back of the neck at the brain stem or on the temples. We use this prior to my daughter's speech therapy appointments as well as diffusing during homework time!

Brain Boosting Roll On In a 15 ml roller bottle, combine: 8-10 drops each of Oola Balance, Grounding, and Brain Power. Top with carrier oil.

OMEGAGIZE

According to a study at Harvard University Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency is officially one of the top 10 causes of death in America. Say what?!? Ok. Folks, we need to be taking our Omega3. Just sayin...

Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, play structural roles in the brain and retina of the eyes. It is particularly important for pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers to get enough DHA.

Additionally, getting enough omega-3 fatty acids can have powerful health benefits for adults as well. Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids can have protective effects against all sorts of diseases, including breast cancer, depression, ADHD, as well as various inflammatory diseases.

At the end of the day, omega-3 fatty acids are important. Our body's do not produce Omega-3, we are dependent on our diets to supply Omega-3, and since the modern diet lacks a lot- including Omega-3, most people take a supplement, Fish Oil, to get their needed Omega-3.

Did you know?! Fish oil is the same Omega-3s that are in our brains which means our bodies don’t need to do a conversion to use it.

Fish oil benefits are used in the treatment of many health issues including: heart disease, ADHA, anxiety, depression, high cholesterol, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, eczema, diabetes, cancer, weakened immunity, autoimmune disease and macular degeneration. It’s also been proven to aid the body in weight loss, fertility, healthy pregnancy, healthy skin and increased energy.

1,000mg dose of fish oil daily is the most scientifically studied and recommended dosage for the general public. Higher doses are recommended for certain issues, like high triglycerides and ADHD (OmegaGize has 1090 mg in each dose).

Most fish oils are highly processed and can oxidize easily and go rancid. If you have ever taken a fish oil supplement you know what I'm talking about...that gross fish smell and taste. For that reason, you will want to buy a fish oil in triglyceride form that also contains anti-oxidants to preserve them like essential oils and keep them in a cool dry location. Many producers use vitamin E in their omega supplements to prevent them from going rancid…but instead we infuse Clove Essential Oil with it! Clove is at the very top of the ORAC scale at over 1M! Clove oil is used to digest that bacteria! Gary was also genius in adding German Chamomile too. The absorption rate goes up by 15X - PHENOMENAL!

Young Living’s OmegaGize³combines the power of three core daily supplements-omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D-3, and CoQ10. These supplements combine with our proprietary enhancement essential oil blend to create an omega-3, DHA-rich fish oil supplement that may support general wellness. Used daily these ingredients work synergistically to support normal brain, heart, eye, and joint health.

The OmegaGize capsule is made of fish gelatin, not cow or pig gelatin. OmegaGize also contains Spearmint which also is great for digesting bacteria.

 

 

Here are the other ingredients in OmegaGize:

• Fish Oil – Derived from small fish including sardine anchovy and mackerel which is the source of Omega-3 fatty acids. This product contains a balanced amount of both EPA and DHA: EPA=16%; DHA=11%

• Rice Tocotrienols – Rice bran is a fantastic source of squalene that is also found in olive oil. Rice oil also contains gamma-oryzanol.

• CoQ10 Kaneka – This is the highest quality CoQ10 in the world. CoQ10 is an oil soluable enzyme that supports normal cell function.

• Vitamin D3 (Cholacalciferol) – Is a fat soluable vitamin that is known to support the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, support healthy circulation, bone metabolism and neuromuscular function. The only Vitamin the body manufactures from sunlight!

• Mixed Carotenoids – Are found in spinach, kale, carrots and tomatoes are a rich source of Vitamin A and antioxidants.

• Enteric Coating Solution (talapia based, silicon dioxide)

• Glycerine - helps absorb water

LEMON MYRTLE

Ohmy ohmy. It was love at first sniff.

This oil is known as the "queen of lemon herbs" but if you ask me, it's "sweet lemon on steroids". It's the best of lemon, but sweeter and stronger!

Like lemon, it is purifying and antimicrobial.  Uses include:

-protect wounds from microbial infections

-diminish skin wrinkles

-clears congestion

-relief from cough

-increase mental clarity

-reduces inflammation

Anybody have a little one who suffers from Molluscum? This oil is INCREDIBLY powerful for treating those pesky bumps topically. Apply a drop directly to the bump. This is a citrus oil, so you may want to dilute for your little ones- and be cautious in the sun!

 

I LOVE to diffuse this oil. Here are some of my favorite diffuser blends using Lemon Myrtle.

Anthro Blend

2 drops Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood

2 drops Lemon Myrtle

2 drops Lime

2 drops Tangerine

2 drops Rosemary

Blossoming Love

3 drops Clary Sage

3 drops Lemon Myrtle

2 drops Jasmine

SweetTart

4 drops Lemon Myrtle

3 drops Hope

Sunshine

4 drops Lemon Myrtle

3 drops Eucalyptus Radiata

2 drops Lime

1 drop Cinnamon Bark

PALO SANTO - Palo Santo is known as the "holy wood". The Palo Santo tree belongs to the same family as Frankincense and Myrrh.  Palo Santo is a spiritual oil. There is a deep-rooted tradition in which it was used by the Incas to purify and cleanse the air of negative energy.

Palo Santo is known for it's cleansing properties, but it's also great for calming the mind and spirit. It's also anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and is great in your insect repellent! Got tendonitis, you'll want this oil in your arsenal!

Last year I got to visit the Young Living farm in Ecuador and visit our Palo Santo forest. Here are some facts I learned about Palo Santo while at the farm.

🔹There are 50 acres of Palo Santo cultivated at Young Living’s Farm in Ecuador. 🔹Palo Santo is very generous in the amount of oil they can get out of the plant material. 2 TONS of dried Palo Santo bark yields 100 liters of essential oil.
🔹Palo Santo trees must die naturally and left to dry for 3 years before oil is extracted. Their is a Palo Santo tree on the farm that was there when Gary bought the farm. It's half fallen over but because it's still alive, it can't be harvested and distilled!
🔹Palo Santo is wildcrafted in the highlands and while the wood is plentiful with oil, it’s challenging to gather, as you often have to hike deep into the forest or mountains to find wood that has fallen on its own and aged long enough.
🔹Harvesters travel hours into mountains and off cliffs in the highlands to carry out Palo Santo wood on their backs, often with donkeys.
🔹In lush seasons of water and green grasses, the Palo Santo tree blossoms beautiful yellow flowers.
🔹Palo Santo is a cleansing oil often used for spirituality and reducing negative energy in your environment.
🔹Gary’s intention was to build a chapel on the farm in Ecuador in the Palo Santo forest because his family often went there to be still and pray. There is not one there today, but I sure hope it’s coming soon! It's a breathtakingly beautiful forest and it smells simply amazing!
Here's a little more about the farm in Ecuador: https://www.youngliving.com/en_US/company/about/younglivingfarms/south-america

SUPER B - Young Living’s Super B supplement is known for supporting healthy energy levels, enhancing your mood and helping internal enzyme reactions that control circulation, hormone levels and overall health.

Super B also helps support normal, overall cardiovascular health and aids in normal digestive function. The benefits of Super B are wide reaching, and they not only affect your physical health but also your overall outlook of life! B vitamins help the body convert the food you eat into glucose, which gives you energy. Give me the energy!

Some B Vitamins and their functions:
Thiamin (B1) - Thiamin is also known as vitamin B1 and helps to convert glucose into energy and has a role in nerve function.
Riboflavin (B2) - Riboflavin is primarily involved in energy production and helps vision and skin health.
Niacin (B3) - Niacin is essential for the body to convert carbohydrates, fat and alcohol into energy. It helps maintain skin health and supports the nervous and digestive systems. Unlike other B-group vitamins, niacin is very heat stable and little is lost in cooking.
Pantothenic acid (B5) - Pantothenic acid is needed to metabolise carbohydrates, proteins, fats and alcohol as well as produce red blood cells and steroid hormones.
Pyridoxine (B6) - Pyridoxine is needed for protein and carbohydrate metabolism, the formation of red blood cells and certain brain chemicals. It influences brain processes and development, immune function and steroid hormone activity.
Biotin (B7) - Biotin (B7) is needed for energy metabolism, fat synthesis, amino acid metabolism and glycogen synthesis.
Folate - Folate is needed to form red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. It helps the development of the foetal nervous system, as well as DNA synthesis and cell growth. Women of child-bearing age need a diet rich in folate.

I’ve got to two more sneaky benefits of B vitamins you may not have heard of before:
1) Are you prone to canker sores? This could be a deficiency of Vitamin B!
2) Do mosquitoes LOVE you? Use Super B! Mosquitoes don’t like vitamin B in our blood.
TIP: Take with food - I take one capsule with a big hearty breakfast or lunch. If you are generally more fatigued then you might want to up your dose. Listen to your body - we are not all the same!

ALKALIME STICK PACKETS - What is Alkaline anyway? Alkaline refers to the pH level in water. This number measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is on a scale from 0 (acidic) to 14 (alkaline). Alkaline water has a higher pH level than regular drinking water and for this reason, many advocates claim it will help with the acid in your body. Regular water normally has a PH of 7, and alkaline water typically has a pH level of 8-9. A normal body pH level ranges from 7.30-7.45. Our bodies work best in a slightly alkaline state.

Pathogens love and thrive in an acidic environment. What causes acid in the body? Sugar and Coffee and STRESS, all of which also increase the mucous in our bodies. When your body is acidic it creates inflammation. If you are running into stress related adrenal fatigue or have a damp and mucous-y constitution, then you will adore AlkaLime.

Alkaline water is said to be absorbed much faster by your body so it is recommended for athletes or people who may need an extra boost of hydration.

When our PH drops in our blood, calcium is leached from our bones to counter balance this effect. Eating a diet rich in Alkaline foods and taking supplements can help our body counterbalance the acid load of the foods which are acidic like meat, dairy, fish, eggs, sugar, soda, coffee, tea, alcohol, nicotine, and processed foods. For those of you that love the gym, keep in mind that every protein is negatively charged and that the more pH balanced the body, the better environment your body will be for building lean muscle and maintaining an optimal metabolism. If your tissues are acidic, your body is not efficiently burning fat and building muscle the way you’d like!

A proper alkaline state will:
• Boost energy
• Keep body functioning properly
• Slows down the aging process
• Lowers Cancer risk Helps maintain a healthy weight

Alkalizing Foods
Examples of Alkalizing Vegetables: Beets, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Celery, Cucumber, Kale, Lettuce, Onions, Peas, Peppers, Spinach, Sprouts,
Examples of Alkalizing Fruits: Apple, Banana, Berries, Cantaloupe, Grapes, Melon, Lemon, Orange, Peach, Pear, Watermelon.
Other Alkalizing Foods: bee pollen, barley, almonds, whey protein, stevia, Apple Cider vinegar

What does Alkalime taste like? It is actually a fizzy drink. Simply empty a packet into 4–6 ounces of cool, pure water, then stir and enjoy. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners.
-Absorbed easily and quickly by the body
-Effervescent formula starts working right away to soothe the occasional upset stomach
-Gentle on the stomach
-Helps maintain optimal pH in the stomach
-Free of artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, and formulated with nine biochemical mineral cell salts, the refreshing taste of Lemon and Lime essential oils, and organic lemon powder
-Comes in convenient, single-serve stick packs: I'm all about ease and ready to go!

AWAKEN

Awaken is a blend of 5 oils: Joy, Forgiveness, Present Time, Dream Catcher and Harmony. Don't worry, it smells as good as that sounds.

Awaken stimulates right brain creativity, amplifies the function of the pineal and pituitary glands, and balances the energy centers of the body.

Use Awaken to awaken and enhance inner self awareness that strengthens the desire to reach one's highest potential.

Great to diffuse in the morning to get your day started or apply to wrist as a perfume.

Great diffused alone, or paired with Scared Mountain or your favorite citrus!

Random insider use. Come close. This will blow your mind. Need a boost clearing allergies? Rub a drop of Awaken on your sternum.

 

EXODUS II

If there was an oil I would call the"dark horse" it would be this one. How this is not more well known and used and loved, I'll never know. But that changes here. Researchers believe these aromatics were used by Aaron to protect the Israelites from plagues.

Exodus II is a blend of: Olive oil, myrrh, cassia, cinnamon bark, calamus, hyssop, galbanum, spikenard, and frankincense.

These oils contain immune strengthening and antimicrobial compounds. Because of the complex chemistry of these oils, it is very difficult for viruses and bacteria to mutate and acquire resistance to them.

Move on over, Thieves. Exodus II just showed up to the party!  Use this oil in the same ways you use Thieves! This blend is a VERY hot oil, so use caution when applying topically. I choose to apply this oil on my feet. And it is not recommended for use on kids under 12 years old.

Move Over Thieves Roll On
In 10 ml roller bottle, combine 7 drops Exodus II and 7 drops Egyptian Gold.  Top with carrier oil of your choice. Apply to bottoms of feet at night.

Hay Ride Diffuser Blend
3 drops cedarwood
2 drops Exodus II
1 drop Sage

Surrender - This oil is a blend of lavender, lemon, roman chamomile, spruce, Angelica, German chamomile, and mountain savory.

So let's get this out in the open right now. Do you think essential oil can help with your emotions? Do you think the idea that a scent can change how you think is nuts or do you think it's so cool?! Or maybe you just don't know yet.

So let's cut to the chase-- they work. It's in research. It's a fact. It may sound crazy, but it's awesome. Don't trust me? Check out PubMed or this well explained blog post.

You probably already know that emotions and the body are connected. After all, have you ever been so sad that your body hurt? Or maybe you have been so nervous that your stomach was upset? Emotions are so powerful that they can impact how we physically feel! Many times when we have no answer as to why our body is behaving a certain way-- it may be due to emotional blockages or negativity stuffed away. Once we release those patterns we can help regain control over our lives!

Surrender helps surrender aggression and controlling attitudes.

This was one of those far fetched oils for me when I started. Lemon, lavender, yeah I'm down with that... but an oil called Surrender, that's not my cup of tea. Or rather, wasn't.

Then I had a very difficult, very willful little boy. Oh and well, he might have a VERY strong willed mother. (ahem, me) This oil got us through his terrible twos, terrible threes, ferocious fours and well into the ground of being five. This oil still makes a semi regular appearance in a now 9 year old's diffuser at night. I would apply a drop to the top of his head or if I could easily access it, I would roll it on the back of his neck! This oil pairs very well with orange in the diffuser! Or rock it solo on some diffuser jewelry.

Surrender also compliments the Young Living Feeling Kit

JuvaTone - Show your liver some love! Remember, your liver has a tough job! It’s one of the most important organs to keep clean! Everything we eat, drink, breathe, and absorb gets filtered through the liver. Let’s be kind to our liver.

The liver is one of the most important organs of the body it purifies the blood and is a key to convert carbohydrates to energy. An overtaxed liver may affect our energy, digestion and skin. Fats and bile within the liver may easily become oversaturated with oil soluble toxins, synthetic chemicals and heavy metals. As toxins build up the liver becomes taxed and stressed. The liver also plays a major role in helping the body detoxify. The final products of digestion are transported through the Hepatic portal vein from the colon to the liver to be cleansed. As you can see a healthy liver is vital!

If you've had your Gallbladder removed, your liver is working overtime, so help it out!
Some people report that regularly cleansing the liver keeps you feeling young and energized. It also helps with maintaining a healthy weight. This herbal complex contains essential oils and trace minerals for optimal liver function, addiction support, and skin improvement. JuvaTone pairs perfectly with JuvaFlex essential oil blend.

This supplement contains liver cleansing essential oils and liver supporting herbs and nutrients including choline, inositol and dl-methionine. Inositol benefits include supporting the body's normal excretion functions; and methionine benefits include the recycling of glutathione, one of the most important antioxidant of the body.
Juvatone is an excellent source of choline, a nutrient that is vital for proper liver function and necessary for those with high protein diets. JuvaTone contains 329 mg choline per serving, which is 60% of the daily recommended value of choline (550 mg)!

Suggested Use: Take 2 tablets two times daily. Increase as needed up to 4 tablets four times daily. Best when taken between meals. For maximum results, use with ComforTone. Caution: Do not take at the same time as ComforTone. Possible bloating, gas, heartburn, and acid reflux may occur. It is best to take JuvaTone and ComforTone at least one hour apart.
