Diffuse Essential Oils to Protect against Radiation
Everyone is aware of the massive earthquake and the many after shocks and the destructive tsunami that Japan has recently experienced.
Although caused by different reasons, what is happening right now in Japan is similar to what happened at Russia’s Chernobyl nuclear energy plant in the 1980s.
The potential problems go beyond the immediate impact of this disaster as several nuclear reactors on the eastern coast of Japan have been compromised.
When a nuclear energy plant is compromised in such a way it causes radiation to be leaked into the air. This leaked radiation from one or more Japanese nuclear reactors has the potential to be carried by air currents around our planet to far away places.
Japanese authorities are working hard and many dedicated plant employees are putting their own health and lives at risk in order to repair these reactors and contain the radiation.
Still, the true extent of these leaks has not yet been determined. These radiation leaks have the potential to affect people not only in Japan but in other areas around the world.
Understanding the potential of being exposed to this radiation, you might want to take some prudent precautionary steps to protect yourselves and loved ones from potential negative effects of being exposed to these radioactive air currents.
A simple and sensible precaution you could take would be to wear an inexpensive dust mask saturated with some essential oils while you are outside or traveling. Melrose, Sacred Frankincense, and Purification™ would be the best ones to use, individually, or paired for more protection as suggested below.
Young Living’s Founder, Gary Young did extensive research on the Chernobyl disaster in the 1980s. During the years after this disaster, he explored the devastating health consequences that radiation exposure can cause and searched for natural ways to guard against such consequences in the future.
After the disaster in Japan, he sent out a note to all Young Living distributors that has great advice for people looking to take precautionary steps in their homes using natural ways to help safeguard their health.
In this post, I want to share some of the suggestions Gary Young sent to his distributors in his email.
Young Living Essential Oils have powerful air-purifying and DNA-protecting properties of Young Living essential oils and can help purify the the air you breath and keep your immune system strong to safeguard your body.
Use a Young Living diffuser, coupled with the following oils, in the rooms of your home over the next few days and weeks. Diffuse a combination of Melrose, Sacred Frankincense, and Purification essential oils. Combine the oils in pairs when diffusing (for example, Melrose with Sacred Frankincense or Sacred Frankincense with Purification). Melrose is a particularly powerful blend because it contains two melaleuca oils that may protect cells from radiation damage, according to Dr. Daniel Penoel in “l’aromathÄ-rapie Exactement”.
Another way you can protect your environment would be to burn frankincense resin in your home. Burning frankincense resin is an ancient method that has been used through the centuries to purify the air in people’s homes or workspace.
I have been sprinkling a few drops of Melrose and Purification™ in my cold air intake areas and on the new air filter on my furnace. This was not in Gary Young’s note, but my own idea as a way to diffuse these oils into my home during the night.
Take deep breaths and trust your intuition about how to protect yourself and family from impurities traveling in the air. Visit my Young Living Essential Oils website to learn more.
In addition to the above recommendations, Young Living has created a new kit called QuadShield Item #4559. QuadShield combines four potent Young Living products: Super C,* Melrose, Longevity, & Thyromin.* [Whsl: $100. - whls. price when each item purchased individually is $111.50]
These products may have a synergistic, protective effect on your hormonal and immune systems.
I would recommend using the oils or kit personally in your home. And if you have friends or family in Japan, consider sending a kit to them, as a way to let them know you are thinking of them and wanting to help them stay healthy during this time of crisis in their beautiful country.
It is not my intention to alarm anyone or cause undue concern over the developing situation in Japan. However, I strongly believe in being proactive and using readily available resources at your disposal to safeguard your health and those we love.
Gary Young and the Young Living executive team will continue to closely monitor developments in Japan, and when they provide updates and additional information as the picture becomes clearer, I will share that information here.
No matter what other precautions you take, it is more than ever very important to stay well hydrated and to do this, be sure you Drink three liters of water daily
I believe that this recent disaster could be viewed as a wake-up call to all of us about the radiation that surrounds us all the time and the methods that we can use to protect ourselves and family from it.
Additional suggested Young Living products to protect your home, health and environment:
* Longevity: 1-2 capsules twice daily
* Melrose oil blend: 6-20 drops per capsule or in yogurt 1-3 times a day
* Super C: 1-2 tablets daily (not available in Japan)
* Thyromin*: 1 capsule three times a day
* ICP: 1 to 2 teaspoons in the morning
* JuvaPower: 1-2 teaspoons at night
* EndoFlex and Digize oil blends: 1-2 capsules daily
* NingXia Red: 4-6 oz. daily
* Detoxyme: 3-5 capsules at night
* Allerzyme: 1-2 capsules three times a day
* Essentialzyme: 1 capsule three times a day
Although a demonstrable link between diminished radiation effects and essential oils or resin burning, or diffusing essential oil has not been demonstrated scientifically, I believe in doing everything possible to protect my family using natural means. I haven’t read of any other suggestions that appeal to me to help protect my home and family from the potential radiation that may be traveling on air currents around the globe.
Wishing you Good Health Naturally,

Purify the air in your home with Essential Oils
Transformation using Essential Oils and Masks
Essential Oils can Transform your way of thinking and Spirit from sad to joyful.
Peppermint Essential Oil can transform a tired body and aching muscles
But sometimes you need to transform your image.
Especially when participating in Manitou Springs Carnivale or Mardi Gras anywhere.
Fantafaces masks can be found at Commonwheel Artists Co-op at 103 Cañon Ave. in Manitou Springs.
Walk in and transform your image quickly and easily.
Or look on the web at www.fantafaces.com for fun ideas to transform yourself any time of the year.
They are created with feathers on a suede backing, guaranteeing it will be the most comfortable mask you can wear.
Young Livings Essential Oil Blend “Transformation” can help get you in the mood to bring out your inner child or transform yourself into a wild creature for the parade.
It also helps Transform your whole being and way of thinking when used for many days.
Rub it on your heart chakra and temples before going to sleep to begin a change of spirit or thought patterns and watch how you find new ways or approaching your life and challenges that may be presented to you.
Adding a floral Essential oil scent can help create an image of a flower when wearing a mask.
Essential Oils Energize for Dancing in the Street
You can spend all day in Manitou Springs on Carnivale Saturday.
If you begin to run out of energy, here’s a couple of Essential Oil tips to re-energize your body.
I am sure your spirit will be feeling Joyful and energized, but sometimes the body wears down.
Start your day by drinking a couple of ounces of Young Livings NingXia Red natural energy drink.
It helps get your body moving and shake the cobwebs out from a good night sleep.
Filled with natural energizing herbs and Essential Oils, its a great way to start any day.
Add a couple of ounces to your water bottle and sip on it when thirst overtakes you while dancing in the street.
Carry a small bottle of Peppermint Essential Oil and rub it on the back of your neck and on your feet and legs.
Take a moment and inhale its energizing aroma deeply when heading into a bar with local entertainers playing to keep you dancing all afternoon and into the night.
You can put a few drops in a cold glass of water to help refresh your mind and body. Its a better choice than too many drinks and will energize you from within to keep dancing and catching up with friends dressed in weird costumes and masks surrounding you inside.
When you get home, and your legs or feet ache, put a few drops of Peppermint Essential Oil in a pure carrier oil, like olive oil, and rub your legs and feet before going to sleep. You’ll fall asleep quicker as your muscles relax and wake without pain in the morning.
Essential Oils Accentuate Your Joy

Warm up with Essential Oils
BRRRRRRR!
That’s what many people all around the country are saying this winter.
Colorado is experiencing record lows. Bone chilling below zero weather.
Snow levels in New York and all over the Midwest higher than most people can remember.
Snow in Dallas?!?!? And just before Super Bowl Sunday!
I’ll bet there are many people who need a calming warm tea right now.
If you are one of them, try sipping on a cup of Chamomile tea in the evening to warm your body and comfort your mind and spirit. It will help you sleep better and ease your mind from worrying thoughts.
Or if you need some energy during the day, put a few drops on Peppermint or Ginger Essential Oil in a cup of hot water and sip and breath it to energize and warm your body.
As an added benefit, when drinking the Peppermint tea and inhaling its aroma, this will stimulate your brain and help you stay alert when feeling drowsy because of the cold.
If you enjoy the scent of cinnamon flavored sweets, but want to avoid the calories, add a drop of cinnamon bark essential oil in a cup of your favorite tea to enjoy the aroma that will fill the air and the energizing buzz it will give your body. Just the scent will make you feel a bit warmer on a cold winter day.
I like to add a bit of honey to hot water and put a couple of drops of lemon essential oil in to help keep me hydrated when cold water doesn’t appeal on a cold wintry day. In fact, I think I’ll go fix a cup right now.
All these tea suggestions have the added benefit of supporting your immune system, something we can all use during this “cold” season.
Young Living creates many food safe essential oils like these that you can enjoy for a quick and natural energy enhancing and tasty additions to hot water or foods.

Finding Peace in a Chaotic World with Essential Oils
These last few days my mind and spirit has felt very troubled and filled with chaotic thoughts.
The loss of some very beautiful human beings because a young man who was unsettled in his thoughts had access to a very powerful weapon and he chose to use it to harm others just doesn’t make sense.
Not too many years ago the Columbine School tragedy hit me very hard and took some time to let go of thinking about it every day. I was driving up to Denver that day and chose a route that was straight through the very congested “Tech Center” traffic rather than the route that would have taken me past the School. I am grateful I listened to my intuition and avoided being near the center of that chaotic and sad situation.
I have friends and relatives in Tucson and and was very relieved to learn that none of them were in the area of the shooting of the beautiful woman and politician known as Gabby.
The loss of the 9 year old girl who held such high hopes for her future and brought joy to all those around her was senseless and so unnecessary.
I understand that all deaths caused by violence is senseless, but hers pulls at my heart as did those young people at Columbine that had plans for their futures and were involved in helping others around them.
I have had problems sleeping the last few nights and focusing in the day. So I have turned to my Young Living Essential Oil Blend called Peace & Calming. I often use it at night to relax my mind, but it has become an essential part of my day and night to encourage me to take a moment and breath into its relaxing fragrance and come back into my center and take me away from the thoughts swirling around in my chaotic mind focused on things I can’t control.
I have been reaching out to others in my life and reminding myself, and them, how precious they are to me. It has helped me find some peace of mind when engaged in conversations with friends and family members who are focused on doing the best they can each day and bringing peace into the world while working towards goals that are important to them.
The Earth is filled with so many beautiful souls, it is hard to lose any that have focused their lives on doing the best they can to be sure life as we know it endures and working towards peaceful solutions rather than turning to violence.
I don’t know many young people, and the ones I do are like the young girl who died in this tragic event. They are focused on helping people, bringing beauty into the world and learning all they can about things they are passionate about.
If anyone knows of a young person that is so much in pain as the young man who saw the only action he could take was to harm other people who were working towards the general good of his community, I would hope you have the courage to reach out to them and/or their parents and offer any support you can to help them find a more peaceful solution to their distressed life.

Get Pumped to Shovel Snow: Peppermint Essential Oil
It was a sunny day. I walked to the Bank and a friends house, about a mile in all. I get home and grab a quick bite to eat and the doorbell rings.
It is the Code Enforcement Officer with a “Complaint” about the snow on my sidewalk.
Thirty plus years I’ve lived here and never before had a “Complaint” handed to me.
I had just walked on many Manitou Springs City Sidewalks that were more icy than mine.
So instead of coming in to my computer, I needed to get energized to shovel snow.
I grabbed a bottle of Peppermint Essential Oil and rubbed it under my nose and on the back of my neck. Took a “shot” of Ninja Red, and I sniffed a bit of Lavender to keep me from feeling stressed by the Officer’s visit.
I was ready!
It was pretty crunchy, so I started by chipping it with a flat shovel – a wide spade.
Usually the snow melts quickly on my South facing sidewalk, but it had been packed down and I had kept hoping for more sun and warmer days. But that didn’t happen this time.
A stranger came along and asked if I’d like help.
I gratefully accepted.
Since he was helping me, I decided to help my 80+ year old neighbor and shovel his walk also. His was actually more icy and harder to get the snow moved not into the street as that is a “no-no” according to the Code Enforcement Officer.
The stranger moved on after a good portion of my walk was finished.
An up-the-street neighbor stopped and chatted about how it was odd some people got the “Complaints” and others didn’t and how bad the City streets were. I just kept chipping and tossing the crunchy snow at a tree that I knew would love the extra moisture.
When I got back into the house, my back and arms felt a bit achy.
I rolled on a bit of Young Living Deep Relief Essential Oil blend and am feeling pretty good now.
And I will remember the stranger who never gave his name in my Gratitude notebook tonight and add Young Livings Gratitude Essential Oil blend to my sleep Oils tonight.
And I am sure I will be massaging my muscles with some Essential Oils tonight, including a bit of PanAway to relax my muscles and help me fall asleep tonight.
Merry New Year to you all!
Wintergreen Essential Oil Reviatlizes Tired Feet
The last few nights I have been baking cookies for friends.
My feet ached by the time I was done each night.
Getting ready for bed, I grabbed my Wintergreen Essential Oil and massaged them for a few minutes. Relief came quickly.
I often recommend using Peppermint Essential Oil for sore muscles, but since I use Peppermint to wake up my brain, I didn’t want to use it at night. So I was pleased to discover how well Wintergreen worked to bring relief for my tired feet.
And I relaxed into a well deserved sleep.
Wintergreen is one of Young Living’s most potent essential oils for soothing bodily discomfort. It works really well when massaged into stressed muscles and head tension. So it was the perfect essential oil for my tired feet.
Wintergreen is a lovely scent to diffuse during the Holiday Season. Adds a bit of cheer to your living or office space.
And you can also put a drop in hot water to create a holiday tea. Relax with it in the evening and breath in its soothing aroma to help keep you calm during the Holiday rush.
Wishing you all a beautiful Holiday Season joyfully spent with friends and family.
