Two Personal Testimonials about Ningxia Red

About two months ago I got my top six front teeth worked on. About a few days later I got the flu or so I thought. Chills, fever, headaches, temporary muscle aches, irritability, difficulty sleeping, weakness, nausea, diarrhea, and gas. But no one else in my household got it and when you live in a household of 7, well you kinda like to share things. Even the bad. Then I remembered that detox symptoms can mimic flu symptoms. So I was detoxing from the major dental work. At that time I had/have been under a doctors care because of liver enzyme test coming back high. They were testing to see why the the levels were high. I had asked on a online discussion board last year when two of the three tests came back high and a lady had the same issue and it was because of detoxing. Last years ultrasound of internal organs had came back all perfect and the blood work my gastroenterologist had ordered all came back fine. SO when I got my teeth worked on all the bacteria and heavy metals where being removed from my body caused the liver enzymes to spike. During that time though I was feeling really sick. It was bad enough that the dr was threatening to admit me to the hospital. Somewhere I had read that Young Living's Ningxia Red and lemon essential oils would help with detoxing and liver problems. So I started taking the Ningxia Red and a couple drops of the lemon eo and my next blood work showed the levels going down and I started feeling much better. Still need to monitor my blood work but I believed that Ningxia red helped because there was nothing else different that I was trying.

In another way that NR helped was just this past week I have been ill-cough, stuffy nose, tiredness and no energy and in the morning I upped my normal 2 oz of Ningxia Red to 4.5 oz. About an hour after I would take it I noticed I had enough energy to take a shower, get breakfast, do some quick laundry, and do a little homeschooling and blog work. I had energy while being sick. I was also taking some in the evening but figured out that was the reason I couldn't fall asleep fast like I normally would-as soon as my head hit the pillow I would be out and when I stopped taking my dose at night then I was out like a light. I just drank some in the morning for a boost to get some things done while sick.

Ningxia Red Part Two




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.

Progessence Plus to the rescue

In August and September 2011 I had 2 really early miscarriages. In investigating the cause, I found out I had low progesterone. During the time between ovulation and my period I would take Pro-gest by Emerita just in case of pregnancy since insurance wouldn't cover it unless I got pregnant, not helpful if I couldn't get pregnant in the first place or my body wouldn't sustain it long enough. I hadn't signed up for Young Living yet. I signed up to become a distributor in January 2012 and after hearing testimonials about Progessence Plus by Young Living I researched and realizing some of the symptoms I had were due to low progesterone so I ordered 2 bottles in July. Before starting Progessence Plus, my periods were irregular. They were also more heavy for me then usual. I also had major PMS, unexplained minor anxiety and depression, hot flashes, poor sleep patterns and decrease in libido. I started using it in August 2012 and used it for a week (because my luteal phase was super short). My period actually decrease in heaviness, libido actually started getting better and hot flashes were decreasing. Then in October I didn't use it at all. BIG MISTAKE!!! Boy that month, watch out! Symptoms came back. Then this last cycle I made sure to take the Progessence Plus. So much better. I was calmer with my kids and hubby, hot flashes have stayed away and even feel cool, libido increased, period were regular and less heavy. I wasn't as moody, I was feeling normal. Now I know to keep it in the house.

Symptoms of Low Progesterone:
(1)Infertility
Pregnancy loss
Mood swings
Depression
Insomnia
Appetite changes
Weight changes
Irritability
Lack of concentration
Anxiety
Fatigue
Frequent menstruation
Irregular menstruation
Low sex drive
Migraines
PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)

Progessence™ Plus serum is formulated for maximum performance. All natural, USP-grade super-micronized progesterone from wild yam is melted in vitamin E and essential oils for optimal absorption. Studies indicate that limonene from frankincense and bergamot and menthol from peppermint oil can enhance substance penetration through the skin. Progessence Plus does not require the cycling of application sites.

Frankincense, or Boswellia carteri, was considered more valuable than gold in ancient times and used to treat every known ill to man.

As well as stimulating to the limbic system of the brain and the hypothalamus, pineal, and pituitary glands. It has a sweet, warm, balsamic aroma that is stimulating and elevating to the mind. It has comforting properties that help focus the mind and overcome stress and despair. Frankincense is considered the holy anointing oil in the Middle East, where it has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. More recently, it has been used in European and American hospitals and is the subject of substantial research. Frankincense is also a valuable ingredient in skin care products for aging and dry skin. The ancient Egyptians used it in rejuvenation face masks.

The Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Israelites and numerous other cultures have used frankincense and myrrh for centuries. Frankincense has traditionally been used medicinally for ages as a remedy for a wide variety of afflictions and ailments, including ulcers, nausea, and fever.

Young Living Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has a fresh, sweet, floral, herbaceous aroma that is soothing and refreshing. Because it is the most versatile of all essential oils, no home should be without it. Lavender is an adaptogen, and therefore can assist the body when adapting to stress or imbalances. It is a great aid for relaxing and winding down before bedtime, yet has balancing properties that can also boost stamina and energy. Therapeutic-grade lavender is highly regarded for skin and beauty. It may be used to soothe and cleanse common cuts, bruises, and skin irritations. The French scientist René Gattefossé was among the first to discover these properties when he was severely burned in a laboratory explosion. Lavender may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods. Lavender has an approximate ORAC of 3,669 (TE/L). TE/L is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent per liter. ~Taken From Young Living website.

Personal Testimony for YL Lavender EO:
My 3 year old son has been waking up from night terrors. He would start screaming and stretching and unstretching and you just couldn't console him. We would ask him if he was in pain and he said no. I remembered that Lavender was used for calming and so I made him smell from the Lavender bottle and 15 mins later he was back to peacefully sleeping. That happened another night. Then the third night I had him sniff the lavender before he fell asleep and no night terrors. The fourth night I forgot to have him sniff the oil and he woke up screaming again. Made him sniff the Lavender and he was sleeping 15 mins later. On the fifth and sixth night I remembered to give him a sniff and I put a drop on his pillow of the Young Living Lavender EO before bed and no screaming. He was even asking to sniff it by then as at first he would run away from the oils. Last night, the seventh night, forgot to have him smell it but there was no more screaming. Hopefully his night terrors are over with and I know that I can use Lavender for him again if needed. AHHH, mama gets to have better sleep too.

Young Living Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint (Mentha piperita) has a strong, clean, fresh, minty aroma. One of the oldest and most highly regarded herbs for soothing digestion, it may also restore digestive efficiency.* Jean Valnet MD studied peppermint's supportive effect on the liver and respiratory systems. Other scientists have also researched peppermint's role in improving taste and smell when inhaled. Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati studied peppermint's ability to improve concentration and mental sharpness. Alan Hirsch MD studied peppermint's ability to directly affect the brain's satiety center, which triggers a sensation of fullness after meals. This powerful essential oil is often diluted before topical application. Peppermint may also be used to enhance the flavor of food and water.~Info taken from youngliving.com

There are many uses of Young Living Peppermint Essential Oil.
Nausea
Headaches
Stomachaches
Stuffy nose
Fevers
Heartburn
Itching
Flavoring foods
And many more.
It is used also to drive other oils into the skin to heal faster.

My husband loves diffusing it in our bedroom because he loves the smell, kinda addicting for him. I love using it in foods. Peppermint brownies, peppermint chocolate and peppermint tea.
Speaking of Peppermint tea, did you know that it more expensive to buy the standard brand peppermint tea bags about $2.50 per 20 bags which comes out to 12 cents per bag. But using 1 drop of Peppermint oil-$19.75 wholesale for 15ml (contains 250 drops)it comes out to 8 cents per drop. The peppermint essential oil is concentrated so that one drop of oil is about 22 bags of tea.

You can learn more about the Young Living Peppermint Oil HERE and HERE.

You can purchase it separately or it comes in the Everyday Oils start-up distributor kit-along with 8 other oils. If you are interested in sign up as a distributor I have more info HERE.

Young Living Thieves Essential Oil

Thieves® was created based on research about four thieves in France who covered themselves with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing plague victims. This proprietary essential oil blend was university tested for its cleansing abilities. It is highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health.*

I have personally used Thieves internally, diffused and topically when treating colds. It helped with gum issues. I use it in my homemade toothpaste and sore throat spray. It can be used for cleaning, sanitizing, personal care, cold and flu, sore throat, and many other uses.

Ingredients: Clove† (Syzygium aromaticum), lemon† (Citrus limon), cinnamon† (Cinnamomum verum), Eucalyptus radiata† and rosemary† (Rosmarinus officinalis CT 1,8 cineol).

Personal care recipes using Young Living Essential Oils

[caption id="attachment_2082" align="aligncenter" width="350"] Young Living Home diffuser[/caption]

Replacing over the counter first aid products are easy using these recipes.

Make Your Own Sore Throat Spray

1/4 oz. Vodka
1 3/4 oz. Purified Water
10 drops Thieves Essential Oil Blend
5 drops Therapeutic Grade Peppermint or Lemon essential oil
2 drops Stevia

Blend together and store in a 2 oz. dark glass spray bottle. Spray 1-2 squirts on the back of throat for soothing relief.

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


Stacy’s Boo Boo Spray

2 oz. Aloe Vera Juice (or purified water)
10 drops therapeutic grade lavender
10 drops therapeutic grade geranium
1 drop therapeutic grade frankincense (optional)

Shake together well and store in a dark glass spray bottle.

To make a Burn Spray, omit the geranium and frankincense, and instead use 20 drops of lavender.

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

Mom’s Homemade Toothpaste

3-4 T. vegetable glycerin (food grade) or coconut oil
6T. Baking Soda (aluminum free)
2 tsp. Dr. Bronner’s Baby Mild Liquid Castile Soap (unscented)
4 drops stevia or 1 tsp. xylitol (xylitol is supposed to prevent tooth decay!)
20 drops therapeutic grade peppermint essential oil
1-2 drops therapeutic grade Thieves essential oil blend

If using Xylitol as the sweetener, I mix it with the Castile soap first, so that it has a chance to dissolve. I don’t like my toothpaste to turn out grainy. However, it may be that it would dissolve anyway, I just haven’t taken the chance. Then I mix all the ingredients together with a whisk.

Pour it into a glass jar. Any glass jar will work, even a plain old mason jar; but, a decorative one will make you feel good. :-)

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

Homemade All Natural Deodorant

Makes enough for one average-sized deodorant roll-up container.

1 heaping T. beeswax pellets
2 1/2 T. coconut oil
1/8 C. arrowroot powder
1/8 C. baking soda
2 drops castor oil
2 drops vitamin E
24 drops of therapeutic grade essential oil of your choice (recommendations below)

The selections are endless. You could choose just single oils (lavender, lemon, melaleuca, sandalwood, frankincense, cinnamon bark, etc.) or Young Living has a number of blends that are perfect for a good deodorant (Thieves, Purification, Citrus Fresh, Three Wise Men, Joy, Harmony, Christmas Spirit, Sensation etc.).

If you want to get creative, you could try to blend a few complementary oils together yourself. Here are a few examples:

English Garden:

19 drops lavender
4 drops ylang ylang drops
1 geranium

Morning Breeze

15 drops Rosemary
5 drops peppermint
4 drops lavender

What is Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils?

When talking about therapeutic essential oils, what does it mean? How do I know I am getting quality oils?

Lets ask some questions on what a therapeutic grade oil should be...
Are the fragrances subtle, rich, organic, and delicate?
Are they distilled in small batches, rather than processed on a large-scale?
Does your supplier send each batch of oils through up to five different chemical analyses before it is released?
Are these tests performed by independent labs?
Does your supplier grow and distill its own organically grown herbs?
Are the distillation facilities part of the farm where the herbs are grown to maintain potency?
Does your supplier use low-pressure and low temperature to distill the essential oils?
Are the distillation cookers fabricated from stainless-steel alloys to reduce the likelihood of the oils chemically reacting with metal?
Does your supplier have representatives personally inspect fields and distilleries where the herbs are grown and distilled?
Do they scrutinize the facilities to check that no synthetic chemicals are being used in any of the processes?


Looking at Young Living's process from start (Seed) to finish (Seal) and you will understand why they are classified as Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils.

The process Young Living uses when planting, cultivating, harvesting, and distilling a batch of oil is crucial to retaining its vital compounds. Without the exact blend of naturally-occurring plant chemicals, an essential oil can lose its beneficial properties and fail to produce the desired effect.

Plants
An oil's potency can be affected not only by selecting the proper plant to cultivate, but also by where the plant is grown, the quality of soil in which the seed is planted, and even the time of day it's harvested.
Young Living has extensive experience selecting the correct species of plant for desired oil potency, planting under optimal conditions, using ideal soil and natural methods to encourage growth, and knowing the precise time to harvest each crop. Only those plants that produce the most active and widest array of therapeutic compounds are selected.

Preparation
Once the optimal soil, plant, cultivation, and harvesting conditions have been adhered to, the plants must be distilled properly in order to meet Young Living Therapeutic Grade standards. Young Living uses a gentle, proprietary technique for steam-extracting the most potent essential oils, which remains unmatched throughout the essential oils industry.
To meet Young Living Therapeutic Grade distillation standards proper temperature must be maintained throughout the distillation process, and pressure, length of time, equipment, and batch size are strictly monitored.

Purity
Young Living Therapeutic Grade standards prohibit the acceptance of any diluted, cut or adulterated oils. Every product Young Living produces—essential oils, oil blends, nutritional supplements, or personal care—meets strict purity standards.
Every batch of essential oils is subjected to rigorous, state-of-the-art analysis at the Young Living chemistry lab. Using some of the most advanced equipment in the world, our scientists subject every batch of essential oils to Gas Chromatograph and Mass Spectrometer testing, and heavy metals analysis. Oils that exhibit even the slightest hint of possible adulteration or tampering are rejected.

Potency
The culmination of the preceding three stages, Potency means that the naturally occurring compounds contained in each essential oil product are of the highest and most consistent bioactive levels. Without strict adherence to the Young Living Therapeutic Grade standard in the Plant, Preparation, and Purity phases, the final product would not have the necessary potency to create the desired effect.

Young Living owns the 4 largest distillers, partners with the next 2 largest, distills on 5 continents, farms much of their own production. Young Living can produce a GC (Gas Chromatography)/MS (mass spectrometry) analysis for any of their oils. YL spends a million dollars annually just on testing. They test every batch. They have 20+ employees on quality control. They spent $750,000 this year alone on state of the art in house testing equipment.
Young Living monitors almost every oil seed to seal and overseas all other processes, distills all of their own and tests every batch and still discards large percentages of their oil because it is not therapeutic grade and that is sold to brokers and then sold to other retailers and perfume industry.

Young Living
is the first company to use oils intra-muscularly,
is the first company to use oils intra-venously,
is the first company to use oils as dietary supplements approved by the FDA and Health Canada,
is the only company that is AFNOR, EC and ISO certified Therapeutic Grade-In Europe, the French Association of Normalization, also known as AFNOR, and the International Standards Organization (ISO), have set standards for therapeutic-grade essential oils. They provide a set of established standards that outline the chemical profile and principal constituents that quality essential oils should have. Considered the "gold standard" for testing essential oils, the AFNOR standard is most stringent, and distinguishes true therapeutic-grade essential oils from Grade A essential oils that lack the same chemistry,
oils never expire because there are never fillers, water or any other chemicals added,
oils are used topically neat(undiluted) even on day old infants etc.


“Here is an example of the importance of precise timing during distillation. Cypress has 280 known chemical constituents, and all 280 constituents must be present for Cypress to have medicinal and healing potency. If it is distilled for 20 hours, only 20 of the 280 properties are released. If distilled for 26 hours, none of the properties are released. Most Cypress available in the US market is distilled for about 3 1/2 hours. The correct length of time for distilling Cypress is 24 hours, releasing all 280 properties.” Debra Raybern

According to "The Complete Book of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy" by Valerie Ann Worwood, you can do a test with the oils to see if they are pure and not adulterated with carrier oils or other chemicals. She states that "Pure essential oils when dropped on blotting paper will impregnate it, then evaporate and disperse, leaving no oily patch. Other vegetable oils, on the other hand, will leave an oily mark. There are some exceptions to this rule: vetiver, for example, is viscous and more difficult to identify when diluted in a base oil."

A couple other points she makes on telling if an oil is a quality pure essential oil, is there is no standard price on each of the oils. Example Jasmine will be priced way higher then say grapefruit. Or sandalwood vs lime. Never buy oils that are not stored in brown or dark colored glass container away from heat, light and dampness.
