My post surgery line up of Young Living support oils, Emotional oils to help during the holidays!
You are receiving this because you are part of our Young Living group.  This is for educational purposes only, this is not a solicitation.  

As we enter into the holiday season, It can be a hard season for some and a joyous season for others.  I would like to encourage you to use your oils for emotional support daily, preventatively, intentionally, to help get through if this holiday brings up some hard feelings.   My go to oils for hard emotions are Valor, Frankincense, Kidpower, Orange, Tranquil, CBD Calm, Neroli, Trauma Life, Sara, Surrender, Bergamot, Joy as well as many more.   When I know I might be dealing with hard emotions for an event or situation with family or friends, I apply when I wake up, and every few hours so that I am prepared to deal with all that comes my way.  There is more information below that can help you discover the emotional aspects of using the oils to help trauma and stress. 

In the beginning of January I am having meniscus repair surgery after enduring 3 tears in it.  I have had to wait for months for surgery and have used the CBD muscle rub, 300mg daily, with great results in helping me get through the days of discomfort and swelling.  

January is quickly upon us and I wanted to share what I am using for daily support for discomfort and swelling after surgery.  I don't like to take things that are not natural so I have used this mix before when I experienced a calf tear.  It was my go to blend, taking it internally every 4 hours, that got me through that painful experience and months of a boot and crutches.  I highly recommend this blend, its pretty powerful and amazing.  

The M-bomb (5 drops of Copaiba, 5 drops of Frankincense, 5 drops of Idaho Blue Spruce or Idaho Grand Fir, and 3 drops of Clove) in a capsule or tsp of honey if you can't swallow pills, every 4 hours.  Below is some information about those oils, just a few of the incredible benefits as there is many many more.  

Frankincense and Gary Young 
When you go and buy a cheap bottle of Frankincense, or any oil for that matter, you are buying from someone who just purchased a vat of oils to bottle up and sell.  
When you open up your Young Living bottle of Frankincense, or any Young Living oil for that matter, you are opening up the heart and integrity, grit and Legacy of Gary Young.  
Here is an excerpt from The Gary Young book, its worth the minute to read:
"From ancient times moving forward into the 19th century, a laboratory-made oil was not something anyone would contemplate.   However, during World War II, the warring countries were not able to ship goods out of their countries; and so the United States lost its essential oil supply from Europe.  
This might be one of the reasons the chemical industry began. to develop fragrances and flavorings in the laboratory.  They discovered that these chemical creations were EASY to make, CHEAPER, and more consistent in their "quality".  (Remember we are dealing with plants so each crop can be different).  People didn't seem to mind or they simply had no awareness as laboratory flavors moved into the food industry; and fragrances moved into cosmetics, soaps, and common everyday products.  
Today, chemists use highly technical methods to synthesize oil molecules to increase the volume and change the aroma.  The day of the laboratory has become highly sophisticated where ANYTHING  can be modified and changed, and it is almost impossible to detect any kind of compound alteration.  
Adulterated or modified oils are difficult to detect on a GC/MS because these instruments cannot determine if the molecule is natural or synthetic.  Highly sophisticated IRMS analysis or a "trained nose" most well known in the perfume industry or Gary Young, can usually determine the ratios and percentages of the essential oil compounds and detect the presence of synthetics; but people like this are a very small minority. 
Nature-identical oils are synthetics made entirely in the laboratory and are used mainly in cosmetics and food flavorings but are also found in the aromatherapy industry.  It is truly fascinating how this industry's standards have lowered to accept synthetic chemical additives.  

Adulteration can occur anywhere along the production process and is disguised in so many ways.  Synthetic or adulterated oils can be mislabeled, diluted, and adulterated with various chemicals and cheaper oils to increase volume and change the aroma. " 
"Essential oils are part of nature, and our bodies love what comes from nature.  Our bodies know how to respond instinctively.  Whether we touch it, feel it, or breathe it, the body is refreshed, revitalized, uplifted emotionally, strengthened spiritually, and feels greater life awareness with the life giving pure essence of the plant kingdom.  It is like water.  We cook with it, we bathe in it, and we drink it without asking questions.  It is a natural part of our lives.  Essential oils are God's gift to mankind, and we must respect them by keeping them pure to support our well-being freely as God intended." 

Copaiba 
From the heart of the Amazon jungles of Brazil, copaiba oleo resin is tapped directly from the tree. A hole is drilled into the trunk of the 50 to 80 feet tall tree and out will pour its liquid resin. The resin is then vacuum distilled, using no water, no heat, only vacuum pressure to separate off the precious essential aromatic oil. Brazilian tribal natives harvest and process the copaiba sold through Young  Living.
Copaiba has the highest concentration of essential oils of beta-caryophyllene. Beta-caryophyllene is also found in Helichrysum at between 8 and 12%, while copaiba contains 50%-70% beta-caryophyllene. Clove oil contains 6-8% beta-caryophyllene by comparison. Look up this constituent and learn more about it and its benefits.
In a July 2009 conference call with one of the original researchers at YL  who studied copaiba for eight years, said it is his number one favorite oil with frankincense coming in at number 2. "Think of copaiba as Helichrysum on steroids", he said. Just like sandalwood is considered an excellent emotional supportive oil, he suggested that copaiba is six times better and calls copaiba - “sandalwood on steroids” due to its high sesquiterpene content. He also likes copaiba mixed with a little peppermint to apply topically for occasional muscle discomfort.
Copaiba Vitality:  Young Living recommends 2 drops 3 times daily or as needed.
Copaiba: Topical and aromatic uses with regular Copaiba may help calm nervous tension, soothe occasional muscle discomfort.  It is not generally a diffusing oil but this aromatic treasure is currently found in Young Living’s Deep Relief and Breathe Again Roll-ons for soothing topical applications and may diffused providing a calming aroma.
It is believed that much of the copaiba oil marketed today is adulterated with soy bean oil or kerosene to extend the yield. YUK.  Just not ours.

Idaho Blue Spruce
Why do you want to be sure to get your hands on it?....
Idaho Blue Spruce has the HIGHEST FREQUENCY of any oil at 580 MHz!  ✨ It even beats out our coveted Rose �� oil at 320 MHz. INCREDIBLE! It has a pleasing, relaxing evergreen aroma. Blue Spruce helps ground the body (as all evergreen essential oils do), recharging, rejuvenating, and creating a feeling of emotional balance.����‍♀️��‍♂️��  It also  helps the bodies response to inflammation so its perfect to combine with my other oils for after surgery.  
I love to diffuse Idaho Blue Spruce, add it to perfume rollers and use it in the bedroom...um yes! This is the bomb diggity for every woman ��! And amazing for men too as it enhances feelings of confidence and masculinity and supports testosterone levels ��. And you want your man to have healthy levels ��������.

Clove 

Clove was listed in Hildegard’s Medicine, a compilation of early German medicines by highly regarded Benedictine Herbalists, Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179). Native to the Maluku Islands of Indonesia, the clove tree is a tropical evergreen species that produces thousands of small, fragrant flower buds. These buds are harvested when they ripen to a deep red color, then dried and steam distilled to produce Clove essential oil. Healers in China and India have used clove buds since ancient times as part of their treatments. Eugenol, cloves principal constituent was used in the dental industry for years to numb gums. Clove and Clove Vitality are the same essential oil.
And lastly for after surgery care, I am using the CBD muscle rub, 600mg.  Like I mentioned above, I have been using  the 300mg for daily muscle and discomfort needs, as does my husband with his line of construction work, (it has no THC but powered with YL oils to super charge the effect) and the 300mg has always met my needs but not knowing what is to come after surgery since I have never had surgery before, I am preparing ahead of time for the worst and look forward to using all my products to support my getting back on my feet quickly and with no ill effects.  

Our last tidbit of information is about emotional oils.  Most of you know I started with YL 13 years ago because of trauma in our home.  The oils rocked our world and created such harmony and balance and emotional calm and that is why I started sharing YL oils with everyone I could speak to because I couldn't believe how quickly and effectively they worked for everything we had used them for so speaking about how they work effectively for emotions is my passion.  Its why I am here at all and its why my kids are healthy and whole today.  

How smelling EOs affect the Autonomic Nervous System. Lavender and Peppermint. Rest & Digest. Fight or Flight.  Body-Mind-Emotions.
These are terms you may have heard before. If not, then you will learn the AMAZING POWER that inhaling the vapors of essential oil have on your body, mind, spirit and emotions.
Study the photo below. Breathing in vapors of Lavender or Peppermint essential oil will cause an IMMEDIATE response by your BODY-MIND-EMOTIONS through your body's Autonomic Nervous System (a set of nerves that automatically respond to external stimuli such as smelling essential oils). 
Smell LAVENDER - your body automatically responds with a Rest & Digest response.
Smell PEPPERMINT - your body automatically responds with a Fight or Flight response. 
AUTOMATICALLY means: you don't have to think about it - it just happens. Your body prepares to slow down (Rest & Digest) or speed up (Fight or Flight).
This is one of the GREATEST POWERS of essential oils. Cole Woolley, PhD


I pray you enjoy your holiday season and if you just need to talk to someone or need help navigating your oil needs for emotional support to help you through any trials that you may be going through, please reach out to myself or the person who signed you up in our group for assistance! 

Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!
