Hope all went well over the holidays. Here are a couple of ways to take care of your family the natural way.
 
Safe, Natural, and
Free of Side-Effects

The rapeutic-grade essential oils benefit your respiratory system and your entire body in many ways by enhancing the natural functions of your body.  That is because, unlike drugs, essential oils do not kill off the beneficial and necessary flora in the intestines.  Nor do they make you drowsy or tired.  They do not present a problem to your liver or kidneys, or put harsh chemicals into your bloodstream.

Instead, they are immune enhancing and support the body's natural defenses.  Many have antiseptic qualities. They truly help the body heal itself by benefiting every cell, organ, and system.

Essential oils act in ways science is only now beginning to understand.  Because of their unique structure, they are able to penetrate the cell membranes or your respiratory system - bringing vital oxygenating molecules and nutrients in, while moving toxins out. They support not only the respiratory system, but also the immune, circulatory, endocrine, digestive, and nervous systems.

The truth is, antibiotics are becoming increasingly ineffective in dealing with bacteria these days.  If you have any doubts, read the Washington Post article, if we cannot count on antibiotics, what can we do?

Common sense tells us we need to make sure our immune system remains strong and able to fight off potential dangers.  Therapeutic-grade essential oils can be a big help in accomplishing this for our respiratory system and entire body.

 
 

Research Shows the Effectiveness of The rapeutic-Grade Essential Oils

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Preliminary research at Brigham Young University recently found that the minimum inhibitory concentration of therapeutic-grade essential oils of Melissa and Turkish Oregano is extremely high.  This means that it takes very little essential oil to accomplish a lot - and that the essential oil is highly effective.

In fact, research published by The Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association states that the vapors of 133 essential oils were screened in vitro for antibacterial activity against six test organisms that commonly infect respiratory systems: Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus fecalis, Salmonella typhosa, and Mycobacterium avium. Results show that the essential oils of thyme, cinnamon, origanum (oregano) produced the largest zones of inhibition on all test organisms.

And, the University of Georgia reports that of 50 plant essential oils examined by Deans and Richie (1987), thyme oil was the most inhibitory against 25 genera of bacteria.  In addition, it was found that Eugenol, a major constituent of clove oil, possesses significant antimicrobial activity.  Farabood et. al. reported that a rosemary spice extract substantially inhibited the growth of S. typhimurium and Staph. Aureus.

Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D states:

"I expect that essential oils may someday prove a vital weapon in the fight against strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.  Lavender, thyme and tea-tree oils have been used for centuries as antiseptics; their chemical compounds appear to kill microbes on contact."
"Aromatherapy Offers Intriguing Possibilities" from
Dr. Andrew Weil's Self-Healing, Oct, l996, Watertown, MA.       

Essential oils also work with the body to promote natural healing by stimulating and reinforcing the body's own mechanisms.

"Essential oils include muscle relaxants, digestive tonics, circulatory stimulants, and hormone precursors.  Many repair injured cells; others carry away metabolic waste.  In addition, a number of essential oils enhance immunity, working with the body to heal itself.  They are capable of stimulating the production of phagocytes (white blood cells that attack invaders).  And some are anti-toxic.  Many essential oils have been proven effective against fungi and yeast, parasites and viruses.  Others fight infection with amazing effectiveness, killing bacteria by disrupting their life cycle.  And unlike conventional antibiotic drugs, essential oils are "probiotic": they kill pathogenic bacteria, but tend to leave beneficial bacteria intact because of cellular communication...  Finally, bacteria typically do not acquire resistance to essential oils, as they so often do to antibiotic drugs."

The Power Behind Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

High quality essential oils are extremely concentrated.  When extracted at low temperature over many hours (as Forever Young Essential Oils are), they contain virtually all of the plant's healing nutrients, oxygenating molecules, amino acid precursors, coenzyme A factors, trace minerals, enzymes, vitamins, hormones and more.  Because essential oils are so highly concentrated, they can be many, many times more potent than the herbs or plants from which they were derived.

 

 

Consider what Terry Friedmann, M.D. has to say;

 

"...Aromatherapy (essential oils) is one of the most powerful yet safe healing modalities we have today.  It should be considered much more in healing."

Amazing as it may seem, research shows that essential oils penetrate every single cell of the body within 20 minutes - no matter where the oil is applied!  That means a quick drop on the hand or on the feet is enough to reach every part of your body.  A quick drop on the chest can reach the entire respiratory system in a matter of minutes.

The Importance of Therapeutic-Grade Certification

But be advised that in order to receive the benefits discussed above, the oils used must be therapeutic-grade.  The therapeutic-grade classification exceeds Grade A, and stands in a class by itself.  Most essential oils sold in the U.S. today are Grade C and D, but conceal this by not being properly labeled.  All Forever Young Essential Oils have been carefully monitored and bear the E.O.B.B.D therapeutic-grade certification stamped on the label.

Unknown to the public, many essential oils in the United States today are heavily diluted and adulterated.  But diluted and adulterated oils have very little therapeutic qualities.  They can lead to toxicity and only give your body a short false change and cannot help your body heal or help you feel better.  In many cases, they do more harm than good.

Only real therapeutic-grade essential oils have the unique properties it takes to help restore health and vitality.  Only real therapeutic-grade essential oils kill viruses, fungi, and bacteria, on contact.  Only real therapeutic-grade essential oils bring oxygen to each cell because they have the unique ability to penetrate cell membranes and diffuse throughout the blood and tissues, benefiting every cell, organ, and system.

Most oils in the U.S. are imported from France or other countries, where they are heavily thinned and adulterated.

During the last several years, according to the Lavender Growers Association, France has been exporting 100 times more Lavender oil than is actually grown in France.  How can this be possible?  Where could the extra oil be coming from? Obviously, only from being heavily thinned and diluted.

Of the few companies that do distill their own oils, most of them transport the herbs or plant material a considerable distance before the distillation.  What does this mean to the oil?  It means many of the volatile (and most valuable) oils evaporate away before the distillation has even started!  And to add insult to injury, they are then "cooked" at high temperatures for short periods of time - not allowing the subtle, more therapeutic elements to ever surface.

Forever Young Essential Oils are grown completely organically, and or Wild Crafted in many parts of the world. (It is impossible to grow on one or two farms all the oils the quality used in Forever Young Essential Oils).  They are harvested at their peak, and distilled right there on these independent farm at low temperatures for long periods of time.  Only Forever Young Essential Oils are checked by independent laboratories by state-of-the-art analysis and must meet the E.O.B.B.D Certification for Therapeutic-Grade essential oils before they are allowed to be sold (because results of in-house, supplier-based labs can easily be distorted for self-serving ends).

 

 

Uncompromising Standards of Quality

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First, Dana selects only the best species.  Then, checks the soil microbes to insure they are grown on land that has never been contaminated by chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides.  They irrigate the land with pure water.  And because of years of research Dana has done he knows what soil will produce the highest quality of oil for each plant.  After soil testing for minerals and nutrients, and microbes recommendation are made and added, an advanced mix of enzymes, trace minerals and organic compost to build and maintain the soil.

The plants are monitored constantly for the optimal time of day for cutting to get the most therapeutic results!  For example, German chamomile must be harvested in the late afternoon to maximize levels of azulene and bisobolol in the oil.  Other plants need to be harvested in the early morning or late at night.  Forever Young makes sure that each crop is harvested at its peak and that distillation begins immediately.

Forever Young takes extraordinary pains to preserve all of the fragile chemical constituents in their essential oils.  Plants are steam distilled in small batches for extended periods using special low-pressure, low-heat vertical steam technology. No solvents or synthetic chemicals of any kind are used or added.  Moreover, the cookers are constructed from costly stainless steel alloys to minimize the possibility of the essential oil being chemically altered by more reactive metals, such as aluminum, steel, or copper.  The results are therapeutic-grade (beyond grade A) masterpieces with unsurpassed healing properties.

Essential oils are rich tapestries of numerous chemical components, some of which (even in small quantities) contribute important therapeutic benefits., For example, Cypress requires 31 hours of distillation at 212 degrees F and 0 pounds of pressure to extract all of its active ingredients.  If distillation is shortened by only two hours, 18 to 20 of its chemical constituents will be missing.  But, in order to cut costs, many processors increase pressure and heat -- and cut distillation times drastically.  Even though this kind of oil is technically considered pure, it may only contain a fraction of its possible complex chemistry and therapeutic value.

Forever Young Essential Oils routinely contain higher levels of therapeutic elements than the industry standard.  You can be sure you are buying the purest and most powerful oil, with the highest therapeutic value when you buy Forever Greens Forever Young essential oils.

Best Ways to Use the Oils

There are several ways to take advantage of the beneficial properties of essential oils.  One way is by simply applying the oils directly to your body, and sometimes, taking a drop or two internally.  One of the best ways to harness the power of essential oils for the respiratory system is by diffusing the oil (i.e., breaking it up into a fine mist) and breathing it in.

 

Methods of Application

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Direct Application       

Direct application onto the skin is one of the easiest ways to use essential oils.  It is also a highly effective method since essential oils can easily pass through the lipid membranes of cell walls.  They are able to penetrate cells and disperse throughout the body within minutes.  The bottom of the feet is a good place to apply oils directly because many nerve endings are found there and the pores of the skin are large in that area.

Before you start, remember to test a small area of the skin first.  Apply one oil or blend at a time.  When layering oils that are new to you, allow 10-20 minutes between each oil to give the body a chance to respond before applying the second oil.

The longer essential oils stay in contact with the skin, the more likely they are to be absorbed, so do not wash them off too soon.  To reduce evaporation and enhance penetration, it helps to use a compress.  Balance can be used with essential oil application; it helps seal and protects cuts and wounds.  This mineral-fortified multipurpose gel is made from all-natural ingredients.  It is pH balanced and toxin free.  Balance is made with a proprietary blend of special oxygenated catalyst water, giving it remarkable skin-restoring properties, and making it ideal for daily use on face, skin, and hair.  Use it after sun, as a moisturizer, for children's sensitive skin, and more. May be used for larger areas.

Carrier oils extend essential oils when they are applied to a large area.  When massaging, the carrier oil helps lubricate the skin, as well.  Some suggested carrier oils are:


· Grapeseed (cold-pressed)
· Jojoba
· Olive

When applying essential oils to children, always use a carrier oil.  Lavender oil does not require dilution as long as it is not lavandin or genetically-engineered lavender.  Add 15-30 drops of essential oil to one ounce of quality carrier oil and mix well.

How to Dispense Essential Oil

Hold the bottle of oil 1 to 4 inches above the fingers or palm of the other hand.  Tip it over and wait for the oil to drip out.  Then, massage the oil onto the desired area.  Oil can also be dropped directly over the body in this way.

Some essential oil is thicker than others and requires a gentle rocking.  Never touch the center of the drop dispenser -- let the oil drip from the edge freely.

 

 

Layering

Multiple oils can be applied, one at a time, using a technique called layering.  For example, if marjoram is used on a sore muscle; it is massaged into the tissue until the area is dry.  Then the next oil is applied - perhaps peppermint, until the oil is absorbed.  Then the third oil, possibly basil, until the oil is absorbed.

Massage

Mix 3-4 drops of essential oil with ½ tsp. of Massage Oil to create a custom massage oil.

 

Physical Aromatic Touch Technique

 Is a form of assessment and light touch using seven specific essential oils.  It was developed as a result of research indicating that (the body speaks volume are you listening)?  Inflammation-producing bacteria and or viruses cause many challenges to the body and can caused muscle spasms and pain.

VitaFlex

Is a specialized form of hand and foot massage that is very effective in delivering the benefits of essential oils throughout the body.  Essential oils are applied to the areas of the feet and hands that correspond to the systems of the body needing attention (similar to the reflexology points).

Acupressure

1-3 drops of essential oil can be applied to acupressure points.  Using an auricular probe with its slender point (soon to be available at (www.eotools.com) can enhance the application.  Dip the probe into a drop of oil in your hand, then press the point firmly and release.  This technique can be used along the acupressure points and meridians or used on the reflexology or Vita Flex points.  Once the small point stimulation is complete, the general area can be massaged with same oil.

Diffusion

Diffusing essential oils is a perfect way to improve your home, work, or living environment.  Diffusing can purify the air and neutralize mildew, cigarette smoke or other odors as well as protect you and your family from viruses and bacteria. 

Inhalation

· Place 2 or more drops into the palm of the left hand; rub clockwise with the right hand.  Cup hands together over the nose and mouth and inhale deeply.

· Add several drops of an essential oil to a bowl of hot (not boiling) water.  Inhale the vapors that rise from the bowl.  A towel can be placed over the head and bowl to increase the intensity of the vapors.

· Apply a few drops of essential oil to a cotton ball, tissue, natural-fiber handkerchief, or clay necklace and inhale periodically.

· Apply 2 or more drops of oil anywhere on your upper body, such as chest, neck, sternum under nose and ears or wrists.  Breathe in the fragrance throughout the day.

Compress

Hot packs are an excellent way to get deeper penetration of an essential oil:

· Rub 1-3 drops essential oil on the desired location.
· Cover with a hot, damp towel.
· Cover the moist towel with a dry towel for 10-60 minutes.

Warming or burning sensations may be experienced as the oil penetrates.  If burning becomes uncomfortable, apply Massage Oil, or any pure vegetable oil.

Cold packs are advised for anyone with neurological problems or for swelling and inflammation.

· Rub 1-3 drops essential oil on the desired location.
· Cover with a cold, damp towel.
· Cover towel with ice packs.
· Keep the cold pack on until the swelling diminishes.

Warm compress for children, the elderly, or those with sensitive skin:

Use water temperature that is about 100+deg; F (just slightly warmer than body heat).  If there are neurological conditions, use cool water.

· Place 5-15 drops of essential oil into a basin of warm water.
· Agitate the water and let it stand for 1 minute.
· Place a dry face cloth on top of the water to soak up the oils that have floated to the surface.

Adding to Bath

Since oil does not mix with water, they need to be mixed with a dispersing agent.  Mixing 2-3 drops of oil with some Balance gel base or Epsom, Dendrick salt will help the oils disperse evenly and prevent stronger oils from stinging sensitive areas.

Fast Respiratory System Help - Diffusing Essential Oils

An excellent way to use essential oils for the respiratory system is by diffusing the them into the air and breathing them in.  In fact, diffusing essential oils has historically been one of the most effective ways to purify the air and benefit the respiratory system.  That is because diffusing allows the oils to bring their oxygenating qualities further into the lungs and allows the essential oils to stay in the air for a longer period.

Research at Weber State University proved that diffusing essential oils kills airborne microorganisms.  It is so effective that many hospitals in England and France diffuse essential oils daily to keep incidences of drug-resistant bacteria low, and to keep the air free from microorganisms.

The process of diffusing is so effective because it breaks up the oil molecules into micro-fine mist particles, which are able to stay suspended in the air for long periods.  Not only does this reduce viruses, bacteria, mold and odors in the air, but it soothes the trachea and lungs.  In addition, diffused oils increase the available oxygen in the air and produce negative ions.

No one wants to get sick.  If you eat well, exercise, and take care of yourself, you can lower the chances.  So take care of yourself and your family the natural way - with therapeutic-grade essential oils.
