My story and what are Young Living Essential Oils
I started with Young Living in 2019. I had already been working with another brand of oils and my husband would always complain of the smell, I told him suck it up they are good for you. I happened to also be dealing with my 7 year old and tantrums. I had tried everything it seemed like and after he had mentioned to me what he was thinking I knew there had to be something else out there that can help me out. That’s when I seen my friend talking about how she was using oils to help her Childs tantrums. I was sold, I ordered and there was no turning back because these oils WORKED. I was able to help my son with tantrums and also support myself and the rest of my family.
Why I am sharing!
Since getting started it opened up my whole new world to wellness. As a Registered Nurse I thought I knew what wellness was but truthfully it actually showed me how wrong I really was. I have began a new path as I continue to work as an RN but I am venturing down a new one where wellness truly is key. I have choose to get rid of the easy things and change with products that are not harming my family, I have chosen to not use western/modern medicine unless it’s my last resort, and I have began to educate others while I am at it.
How does Young Living Aid in Wellness?
Sometimes it may seem a little foreign when we talk about cleansing, system support, and staying above the wellness line. What happened to the familiarity and seeming safety of doses and prescriptions?! Here in our oily world, we have to be careful about a few things:We can't cure. We can't treat. We can't diagnose. We can't prescribe.
But that's actually really good news! Why? Because it helps us to focus on roots, causes, and holistic health instead of symptoms and bandaids. (Also, goodbye side effects.) It also helps us to remember that we're not all the same. There's no “one size fits all” when it comes to health.
We are all the product of different habits, experiences, and backgrounds. In the same way, our health care should be tailored to our daily needs.
Enter oils. You will even see several of them such as lavender, peppermint, or lemon on both lists of oils that stimulate and oils that relax! Depending on what your body needs, they will simply come alongside your natural defenses and processes to strengthen and support whatever your body determines itself to need.
As you're learning about oils begin asking yourself, not how can I fix this problem temporarily but why does this health problem exist in the first place? What could I do long term that would put my body in a prime state of health where temporary bandages and fixes weren't required. This is what we call supporting our body systems. We're checking our oil and filling up with gas BEFORE the car is in dire need of repair. We're living far away from disease by the best prevention of all, a healthy, nourished, responsive body.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
Chemistry of Essential Oils
Essential oil molecules have three very important characteristics::
::Essential oil molecules have the SIZE to be able to pass through cell membranes
::Essential oil molecules have the SHAPE and ability to change shape as they enter the cell
::Essential oil molecules have a God-created Positioning System - a GPS
Every cell of the human body has a control center called the nucleus. Housed inside the nucleus is our DNA. Which, like a blueprint, contains all the molecular instructions needed for building the entire body. The nucleus is walled in by a double membrane. A fluid-filled space, or moat, is sandwiched between the two membranes.
Young Living Essential Oil molecules have the created ability to pass through the first membrane, swim across the moat, and then penetrate the second membrane. Once they have entered the nucleus, they contain the programmed instructions necessary to completely change the nucleus, which in turn has the ability to reproduce a new healthy cell.
PHENOLPROPANOIDS
Phenolpropanoids clean and purify cell receptor sites. The outside wall of a cell membrane is covered with toxic molecules. These toxic molecules prevent the wounded or diseased cell from receiving nutrients and releasing toxic waste products. The phenolpropanoids and phenols present in essential oils remove these toxic molecules and allow waste products to be eliminated and healthy essential oil molecules travel into the cell. They also attack invading microbes and parasites. There are 100 varieties of phenolic molecules found in essential oils. Phenolpropanoids are found in clove, peppermint, fennel, basil and wintergreen.
SESQUITERPENES
Sesquiterpenes are extraordinary molecules that have the ability to stop the growth of wounded cells. They have the capability of passing through the cell’s outside membrane wall followed by a migration across the wounded cell toward the cell’s nucleus. The nucleus of a cell is protected by a double-walled membrane. Sesquiterpenes have the molecular passcode that enables them to enter the double-walled membrane. Once inside the nucleus they identify the wounded DNA molecules and stop them from growing! Then they erase the flawed memory inside the cell. There are 10,000 varieties of sesquiterpenes found in essential oils. Sesquiterpenes can be found in myrrh, vetiver, ginger, cedarwood and patchouli.
MONOTERPENES
Monoterpenes have the impressive ability to mend and restore original DNA memory. If the DNA in the wounded cell can be saved, the monoterpenes will reprogram the original DNA memory and cellular functions. Monoterpenes have the molecular intelligence to reset the DNA polymer strands to their “factory-created settings.” There are an estimated 2000 varieties of monoterpenes found in essential oils. They support and enhance the therapeutic benefits of other essential oil molecules. Monoterpenes are found in grapefruit, orange, grand fir, lemon, pine and frankincense essential oils.
