“I was diagnosed 7 years ago with breast cancer and started getting
radiation. I started to use frankincense, helichrysum, sandalwood, and
Ningxia Red. I did my 2 month check up and my doctor told me that I
didn't have breast cancer anymore . So then I stopped using my oils and
drinking Ningxia Red.
Then just last year I was diagnosed again with breast cancer so I had a
couple of surgeries. Then after the surgeries the cancer started to
spread, it had spread to my brain. I started doing chemotherapy. I also
had gamma knife treatment for my brain cancer. That was awful.
Last year in May, my cancer doctor told me that I have 6 month's to
live because the chemotherapy was not helping. I told him no I'm not
going to give up and I will do what ever it takes. I also told my doctor
that I was not going to do chemotherapy any more; he was so upset. I
went home and started to use frankincense, helichrysum, sandalwood,
Ningxia Red like I did before. In every 2 months I went for a check up
on my cancer and my cancer doctor told me that the cancer was
shrinking. I was so glad. My cancer doctor was so surprised that it had
been passed my 6 month's that I was diagnosed to live.
Now in January 2010, I went back for a check up and my doctor gave
me the wonderful news. I was cleared. I have no more cancer any
where in my body. One thing I do have to say that I will never ever
again stop drinking my Ningxia Red and using my oils.”

What are Essential Oils?
"When a fragrance is inhaled, the odor molecules travel up the
nose where they are trapped by the olfactory membranes that
are well protected by the lining inside the nose. Each odor
molecule fits like a little puzzle into specific receptor cell sites
that line a membrane known as the olfactory epithelium. Each
one of these hundreds of millions of nerve cells is replaced
every 28 days. When stimulated by odor molecules, this lining
of nerve cells triggers electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb in
the brain. The olfactory bulb then transmits the impulses to the
gustatory center (where the sensation of taste is perceived), the
amygdala (where emotional memories are stored), and other
parts of the limbic system of the brain. Because the limbic
system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that
control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress
levels, and hormone balance, essential oils have a profound
physiological and psychological effect.
The sense of smell is the only one of the five senses directly
linked to the limbic lobe of the brain, the emotional control
center. All other senses (touch, taste, hearing and sight) are
routed through the thalamus, which acts as the switchboard for
the brain, passing stimuli onto the cerebral cortex (the
conscious thought center) and other parts of the brain.
The limbic lobe (a group of brain structures that includes the hippocampus and the amygdala located below the cerebral
cortex) can also directly activate the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is one of the most important parts of the brain, acting
as our hormonal control center. It releases chemical messengers that can affect everything from sex drive to energy levels.
Essential oils-through their fragrance and unique molecular structure-can directly stimulate the limbic lobe and the
hypothalamus." Essential Oil Integrative Medical Guide written by D. Gary Young, ND
The FDA Says Only 5% of Ingredient =
‘Pure’
A company can label a bottle as pure if it has only 5% of pure
essential oil in the bottle.
In her book, Their Leaves for Healing: The Divine Gift of Plants
That Heal, Elizabeth Flores writes that
"90% of what is sold in the United States as ‘pure’ essential oil
is fragrance-grade and diluted. (The FDA has determined that
a product need contain only 5% of the ingredient on the label
in order to use the word pure.) These oils are found on the
shelves of many health food stores and at online discount
houses. They may be less expensive, but they will not be useful
for healing."
Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils When we compare Young Living ’s ‘therapeutic-grade’ essential oils with the type of “pure essential oils” available at whole food shops, we find significant differences in quality and purity. For example, the Essential Oils Desk Reference tells us that: “Pure frankincense is often extended with colorless, odorless, solvents such as diethylphthalate or dipropylene glycol…unfortunately, a large percentage of essential oils marketed in the United States fall in this adulterated category. When you understand the world of synthetic oils, as well as low-grade oils cut with synthetic chemicals, you realize why unsuspecting people with their untrained noses don’t know the difference…” “Anyone venturing into the world of therapy using essential oils must use the purest quality oils available. Inferior quality or adulterated oils most likely will not produce therapeutic results and could possibly be toxic.” Young Living's essential oils are never cut with chemicals or solvents. They are only stream distilled or in the case of citrus cold pressed.
Why Young Living? They are world leaders in Essential Oils and have more than 20 years of experience! It was founded by Gary Young who used essential oils to overcome a disability from a logging accident. By using essential oils he went from paralyzed for life to running in a half marathon, finishing in 60th place out of 970 people. From there he has toured the globe studying about essential oils. They currently own 9 farms on 5 different continents, so they are truly in control. As of today, they are actively looking for additional land to add more farms. Young Living owns and/or operates the distillers in USA (3 total), Ecuador, France, Oman, Taiwan, Egypt, Israel, and Kenya, farms much of their own production with their own farms in St. Maries, Idaho, Whispering Springs Farm in Mona, Utah, Highland Flats Tree Farm in Naples, Idaho, in Guayaquil, Ecuador, in Simiane-la-Rotonde, France and in Salalah, Oman-where they are the only ones allowed to distill the Frankincense (Boswellia sacra) from Oman. And they recently acquired farms in Taiwan, Peru and Israel and soon one in Egypt. Young Living has been opening distribution centers all over the globe- USA, Singapore, China, Mexico, Australia, Japan, Germany, Canada, Hong Kong and Sweden.
The 4 P’s of Young Living:
Plants, Preparation, Purity, Potency
Organic, virgin soil. Optimal harvest time. Small batches
for distillation. No dilution! Extensive testing. Every step
counts when creating the best essential oils and Young
Living is there for every step of the process. Extensive
testing is done to determine the best harvest time, best
distillation time, and the best temperature! Most
companies do a set amount for every plant, but Young
Living knows that every plant is different and needs to be
handled with care.
This is committed to -through our Seed to Seal process!
Young Living has the Seed to Seal promise, ensuring that
they know the seed, soil, cultivation, distilling, and the
final product. No other Essential Oil company in the
United States can do that.
Young Living essential oils are:
• 100% pure
• Sourced only from known botanical species
• Sustainably grown and harvested
• Grown on chemical-free lands in carefully nourished soil (organic)
• Unmatched throughout the essential oils industry
• So pure and natural, they’re used and recommended by integrative
health professionals around the world. There are over 50 hospitals that
exclusively use Young Living Essential oils in helping their patients with
many health issues, including Beth Israel Medical Center.

israel-medical-centerEveryday Essential Oils We're going to go through the 10 oils that come in the Everyday Essential Oils kit next. Why do we start with those ones? Because they come in a discounted starter set and you have in your hands 100 uses immediately. Trust me, they will be much more useful if you take them out of the box! My description of the oils will come from the book “Reference Guide for Essential Oils” by Connie and Alan Higley and the 5th edition of the "Essential Oil Desk Reference" by Life Science Publishing.
“I used Frankincense to get rid of my huge plantar wart on my foot.
My doctor tried to burn it off two different times and was
unsuccessful. And, it cost me $300 out of pocket.
I put one drop of Young Living's Frankincense on my wart almost every night and sometimes in
the morning for about 3 weeks. It had started to shrink but not yet gone away when I ran out of
my Frankincense. I did not put any more of the oil on my wart and yet it continued to disappear
completely over the next few weeks. I cannot even tell it was ever there now.
I am currently using the same technique to take a wart off my young daughter's thumb. The
wart is responding and is starting to go away. She is having no discomfort with this treatment
and Frankincense helps uplift her attitude.
Hope it works for you too.”
- Joanna Manoff, California“A client of mine was very depressed about her relationship with her
husband. She was in tears as she told me about how her husband would come home from
work, go into his room, lock the door and not speak to her. This had been going
on for weeks.
I told her that I would like to give her a little "Joy". I had her rub two drops of Joy in her palms and deeply inhale it.
Within minutes her countenance brightened and she was amazed at how well she felt. I then suggested she try an
experiment. While her husband was at work, she put some Joy on his pillow each day. She also would wear Joy as a
perfume for herself and to spread the "joy" around!
The next week she returned and reported what had happened. After about three days, her husband would listen to her and
began responding. He agreed to go on a short trip to her parent's home and in the car, on the way home, he talked non-
stop! She was wearing Joy and in the enclosed small space of the car, it was amplified. Just one of the wonders of JOY!”
- Trudie Crawford, Indiana“If you have young children, Lavendar oil is a must. I have
watched my children's sunburns disappear after putting
lavender oil on them. Any type of burn will heal quicker with lavender.
I am not the best cook and one day grabbed a casserole dish that had been in the oven at 400 for an
hour. I had forgotten to put mitts on and you can imagine. I didn't scream, just calmly went and
found my lavender oil and doused both of my hands. Immeadiate relief and I continued my cooking.
Our family motto is: When in doubt, put lavender on it!”
- April Robyn, Oregon“My 4 year old got a wart on his hand from
who knows where. We tried for several
months with the over the counter stinky stuff. I then went to the expensive dr.
that put more stuff on it that did't work. Then I tried lemon oil. I put one drop
on the wart two times and within a day it fell off. Why didn't I think of it alot
sooner?”
- Kimberly Reyes, Nevada“My dad had carpal tunnel in both wrists. He had
surgery on one. It was so painful he did not want to go for the other. He has been
using Panaway on it whenever he has pain. He is thankful there is something that
he can do besides more surgery. He also uses panaway for arthritis in his knees, feet
and shoulder. He is a true believer in the oils.”
- Debbie Millies, Wisconsin“Three teenagers with special needs creates a lot
of tension and stress. My downline Sylvia was
exhausted from the constant teenager attitudes
she dealt with daily. She had been waiting to get
a diffuser to diffuse Peace & Calming blend in the
boys' bedroom but reached her wit's end first.
She decided to put Peace & Calming on the mastoid bones behind the ears of everybody,
herself included, 3 times a day. Attitudes changed, contention melted away, and Peace &
Calming brought relief to the entire family.”
- Pamela Mang, California“The first time I used peppermint is when two of my children ate too much halloween candy and
were vomiting. A drop of peppermint rubbed over their tummies stopped the vomiting.
A few years later we were hit bad with some kind of terrible stomach flu that caused everyone in
my home to vomit until they were so tired and drained we just wanted to die. Finally I took out
the peppermint and applied it to every tummy and we got immediate relief from the vomiting
and were able to rest and fall asleep and recover. Thank goodness for peppermint oil.”
- Deborah Ranada, Idaho“Last week a co-worker with a swollen, hardened calf muscle, an
area the size of a hand, was wondering what had happened to her.
I said," Hey, that's a spider bite, and I can take care of it quick
and easy."
I had her massage in one drop of Purification oil. She left and reported the next day that the swelling and hardness were
gone. She thanked me, only to return the third day asking for another drop of Purification because her leg really itched.
I checked the bite and noticed the skin was soft and no longer swollen and there were no signs of peeling, but a red spot
remained. So, she applied one more drop of Purification and had no more complaints. So, a major spider bite was totally
healed by two one-drop applications of Purification oil massaged in two days apart. Awesome!”
- Susan Heil, Texas“We just love the Thieves oil blend. For colds
and flu, go for Thieves. Sore throat? A drop of thieves in water, gargle and
swallow. Or try Thieves spray - one spray does the trick. Thieves lozenges are
great, too, especially for the little ones. Thieves cleaner is "my" cleaner for
everything, from cabinets and high chairs, to all bathroom fixtures, doorknobs
and dishes. Thieves toothpaste is a must, and safe for the whole family.”
- Virginia Graham, Texas“I have had 2 back surgeries in 5 years. My body hadn't been aligned
for a long time before them and certainly wasn't after them. I started
using the oils for the pain in my back and down my leg. I applied
them every hour in the beginning. It is my belief that valor was key
in aligning my body.
I used valor every morning. I put it on the bottom of my feet. The reflex points for your spine are along the inside of your foot.
About half way in to the second bottle of valor is when the shift happened (about 3 months). I was walking down the stairs one
morning and my body had a shift. I felt my hips drop in to place and I felt every disc in my back line up. A huge weight was
lifted that morning and I have felt more centered ever since.
I still use valor almost every day for the courage and confidence. Some refer to valor as chiropractic in a bottle, because of the
self-correcting it can do for your body. It really worked for me.”
- Corry Heinrich, New YorkHow do we use essential oils?
This offers some more advice from “Surviving When Modern Medicine Fails.”
"Essential Oils should be applied at the first signs of a symptom or immediately following an injury. I have noted this myself when a headache comes on, I have instant relief and no escalation if I
immediately apply the peppermint to my temples, if however I wait, I find it much more difficult to get immediate relief – meaning I need to use more oil over more time or add an additional pain oil.

Ningxia Red
NingXia Red® is a powerful antioxidant drink that contains whole Ningxia wolfberry puree—a super
blend of blueberry, aronia, cherry, pomegranate, and plum juices, natural stevia extract, grape seed
extract, pure vanilla extract, and orange, yuzu, lemon, and tangerine essential oils. Its health benefits
include support from head to toe, via a whole body nutrient infusion. NingXia Wolfberries have been
cherished for centuries for its health, energy, and longevity benefits. Whole Ningxia wolfberries and
other nutrient-dense fruit juices make NingXia Red the perfect choice for optimizing wellness and
stepping up to a whole new level of health.
KEY BENEFITS
Seven times more pure—- therapeutic-grade essential oil—- Carefully selected for their health and
flavor profiles, the blend of orange, yuzu, lemon, and tangerine essential oils found in NingXia Red is
packed with 93% d-limonene- a potent antioxidant and a marker for bioactivity. Along with NingXia
Red’s premium flavor, these essential oils also aid in maintaining the body’s normal cellular function
Preferred great taste—The new NingXia Red, now Halal and Kosher certified, contains no artificial
sugars and has a unique, balanced flavor profile that captures the pure essence of the Ningxia
wolfberry. The natural flavor is further enhanced by zero-calorie stevia (Rebaudioside A), essential oils,
plus blueberry, cherry, and aronia juice. In fact, when compared to other similar superfruit beverages in a major university study, the new NingXia Red was
preferred by 77% of participants over all other options in a blind taste panel!
Long-lasting energy support*—Long-term use of wolfberries (Lycium barbarum) may contribute to agility, longevity, and vitality. In fact, recent studies
indicate that drinks containing wolfberry exhibit longer-lasting supportive effects on energy and caloric metabolism. NingXia Red is an easy way to get pure,
premium Ningxia wolfberries and experience natural, sustained support for energy without the crashes and harmful side effects of coffee or energy drinks.
Fortifies the body and replenishes key nutrients*—The combination of whole wolfberries—the juice, peel, seeds, and fruit—with pomegranate and plum
juice delivers vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, and phytonutrients. NingXia Red also contains zeaxanthin, a carotenoid suggested to enhance healthy visual
function. Recent studies on the consumption of wolfberries and whole fruit juices recommend 2 to 4 ounces for optimal support.
Revitalizing, full-body protection*—The combination of blueberry, grape seed extract, aronia, and pomegranate—
some of the world’s most antioxidant-rich fruits—helps increase the S-ORAC level more than 30% over previous
formulations. These levels were independently tested and may help defend against damage caused by free radicals.Are you excited yet?

Starter Kits
Essential Rewards Program
(OPTIONAL)
Like the thought of earning FREE oils? One thing I also
love about Young Living is the Essential Rewards
Program. If you’re like me, you like to budget for what
you need each month. The Essential Rewards program
helps you do that while earning points for FREE product
at the same time! ER is an auto-ship program that offers
discounts and reward points based on your monthly
purchases. You choose the date (and can even change it
if needed) and choose products (which you can also
change) to arrive at your door every month. If you sign
up as a member of Young Living and don't sign up for
the Essential Rewards (ER) program, you are losing
money! I lost almost $20 because I didn’t sign up for ER
until two months after I purchased my enrollment kit.
This is a great way to budget and “try out” the various
oils available, while saving money as you build your own
natural “Medicine Cabinet.” When you sign up as a
distributor, it also qualifies you for certain commissions
and bonuses (with an order of 100PV/month).
Here are a few main points to consider:
· FREE to sign up
· No obligation to continue
· Discounted Shipping ($6.98 for the first 5 lbs!)
· Earn points for up to 20% back in FREE products
· Qualify for special discounted essential oil collections
and more free oils (YL has special promos where you can
get free oils just for meeting the PV for the month)
If you’re serious about essential oils, this program is a
MUST!
Months on Essential Rewards Points Earned
Months 1–6 earn 10%
Months 7–12 earn 15%
Months 13+ earn 20%
If you decide to join, you need only sign up to purchase
50 PV per month. When you sign up with an ER kit at
