Love on your skin...

Love on your skin...
Essential oils can either be applied to the skin neat (without dilution) or diluted with a carrier oil.   Always be sure to choose a good quality, unrefined, organic carrier oil.  Just like with essential oils, carrier oil quality is so important since you're applying these on to your skin-- your largest organ.  Young Living has a wonderful carrier oil blend called V6.   
A carrier oil is fatty oil, that has large molecules so it slows absorption of the essential oil.
 
A carrier oil doesn’t make them “less strong,” 
anymore than wearing sunglasses makes solar rays less bright.
 
It filters the intensity and slows the absorption of the oil into the skin.  
The tiny essential oil molecule has to ping pong between large and small to get in.  
If your skin turns red, don’t panic. Just use a carrier like olive or coconut oil. I never know how my body will respond from one day to the next. It doesn’t mean the oil is making you sick, it just means it’s doing what it was designed to do—
go after stuff!
 
When we apply oils topically to our skin, they are quickly absorbed by our pores and hair follicles and move into the bloodstream.  From there, the party starts, and they’re dispersed throughout the various systems of our bodies to support our overall health.  

For example, let's say you're cooking dinner and suddenly you get too close to a hot pan.  You grab your lavender and apply it “neat” straight from the bottle to help soothe your skin.  Other oils may need to be diluted first.  Babies, young children, and elderly have more delicate skin and need to be diluted more.  The same holds true for essential oil newbies.   This is a new world for you in comparison to the chemicals you had been using, and your body is waking up with every drop!

Many people like to create roller bottles with their favorite recipes and add carrier oil so they are portable and ready to go whenever you are!   (trust me, you will soon go no where without a tool from your toolbox at hand)   
 
Ready to roll

Some of you are DIYers, and others wish that they would be the recipient of someone’s DIY/ craft night (that’s me)  
Either way, find what works for you.   Young Living has several beautiful ready to roll roll-ons waiting for you.   Valor, Breathe Again, StressAway, Thieves, Tranquil, Deep Relief, and Rutavala.  
 
Where do I put them?

Common areas to apply essential oils are the inside of your wrists, the back of your neck, knee pits 😊 or on your temples.  These are your pulse points where oils can absorb quickly and work the fastest.   

Another great place to apply oils is the bottom of your feet -- which have many nerve endings and over 4000 of the largest pores on your body.  
Applying oils here allows your body to easily disperse the oil throughout your system to wherever it is needed.  This is especially helpful when using oils on kids and babies.  

Other times, for physical issues, I tell people to put the oil as close as the location.  For example, apply DiGize in a clockwise motion on your tummy if it needs help settling down.   Apply PanAway to sore muscles.   Tea Tree can be dabbed undilute on to a pimple that just popped up overnight, when your body decided you're 14 again.
Start with a carrier, and you will see how your body responds.   You are going to love the results!   When you discover the results of peppermint on your knee pits on a hot sticky summer day, your view will never be the same.

It wouldn’t surprise me if this supplement is in one of the Young Living Top 5 member favorites.
 
It’s a favorite because it contains just a couple simple, all-natural ingredients that literally every cell in the body needs to function properly.
 
It helps to support a healthy immune system, fights off free-radicals, aids in carbohydrate metabolism, proper liver function, healthy hair-skin-nails, and assists in proper digestive function.
 
There are two versions of this supplement, a capsule and a powder (the powder contains an additional prebiotic).
 
Let’s go through the ingredients and what they do...
 
The two main ingredients are: MSM (dietary sulfur), & Ningxia Wolfberry fruit.
 
🔸 MSM
  • helps rid us of free radicals;
  • protects our cell & replenishes the connections between cells
  • increases glutathione levels
  • speeds up post-exercise recovery & improves flexibility

🔸Ningxia wolfberry

The powder version also contains FOS (fructooligosaccharides), an additional prebiotic.
This supports the microflora of the large intestine while also helping with calcium absorption.
The powder tastes kind of sweet & fruity and you can mix it with a big glass of water, yogurt or whatever you'd like.
