Living above the line

 Young Living's Founder, D. Gary Young, says what we do best:"We are about lifestyle and strengthening the body through nutrition and the power of essential oils. When we do this, the body will take care of itself. We are about self-improvement and living life to the fullest. Everyone is different and no two products are the same; therefore, no two people respond to our products the exact same way. By simply supporting and strengthening the body with a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition, everyone can have his or her own individual experience without trying to narrow it down to a specific product for a specific problem.

In this Blog we will be talking about how to support and maintain health and wellness ABOVE the line. Whereever you are in regards to the "line" supporting your body systems, nourishing your bodies cells will give your body the power to heal and "be"above the line. Essential oils do NOT treat or cure disease..what they do is they address cellular integrity at its core, and allows your own body to address what needs to be addressed

What are Essential Oils ?
Essential oils are the aromatic liquids found within shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, resins, and seeds. Some people like to call essential oils “nature’s living energy” because they contain unique constituents that provide a host of benefits.
Most essential oils are extracted from plant sources using steam distillation and are highly concentrated, making them far more potent than dried botanicals.
Essential oils are volatile, which means that the scent of the oil rises quickly into the air.
They are also versatile, with a wide variety of uses. Some people use essential oils to enliven an environment, support different body systems, or just for their great scents. However you choose to use essential oils, chances are someone else has tried that same use in the past

Supporting my sons immune system

 My Journey began with Essential oils in February of 2014. My son was struggling with the symptoms of PANDAS. He was on medication and under a doctor’s care. In my research I wanted to learn how to best support his body… to think beyond symptoms and what his body needed ….Think about the post about cells… IF we nourish our bodies cells, our body has a remarkable way of running like a well oiled machine and taking care of itself.
When I realized there were multiple ways of supporting my son, I focused on Cleaning, Rebuilding, and Maintaining…

This first step..cleaning is ongoing as we always look at what we eat, clean with, and have in our home. I wanted to optimize my sons brain health, so I needed to take a serious look at what was surrounding him and us as a family. For me this was a slow process and like I said, ongoing. In abit I will share some of my favorite products for helping our family get rid of toxins!

The cells in our bodies are constantly dividing, regenerating, and dying, but each cell’s life cycle is different. http://www.divinecaroline.com/self/wellness/truth-about-your-bodys-cell-regeneration  so I know the graphic there said it takes one year for the brain to rebuild itself,  keep in mind that DAILY cells are involved in that process!  This is why we want to support and optimize the regeneration of cells!!!  Do your own research on brain cell regeneration and the latest findings!

Oh THAT SMELL!!!

When we inhale the fragrance of an essential oil, the odor molecules travel up the nose where they’re registered by the nerves of the olfactory membranes in the nose lining. The odor molecules stimulate this lining of nerve cells and trigger electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb in the brain. The olfactory bulb then transmits the impulses to the amygdala - where emotional memories are stored - and to 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 can have profound physiological and psychological effects… Olfactory responses to odors induce the brain to stimulate the release of hormones and neurochemicals that in turn alter the body’s physiology and behavior.

Essential Oil Desk Reference, 4th Edition

The limbic lobe is a group of brain structures situated directly below the cerebral cortex of the brain and includes the hippocampus and the amygdala. It’s capable of directly activating the hypothalamus - often referred to as the “master gland.” This gland is one of the most important parts of the brain and acts as the hormonal control center. The hypothalamus releases hormones that can affect everything from sex drive to energy levels. The production of growth hormones, sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and neurotransmitters such as serotonin, are all governed by the hypothalamus.

Because of their fragrance and unique molecular structure, essential oils can directly stimulate the limbic lobe and the hypothalamus. Inhalation of essential oils can be used to alleviate stress and emotional trauma. It can also be used to stimulate the production of hormones from the hypothalamus. This stimulation may increase production of thyroid hormones (our energy hormone) and growth hormones (our youth and longevity hormone).

Getting an account

An account for membership into "get my essential oils at 24 percent off club".... Yes when I knew this is what my son and our family needed, I knew I did not want to pay full price! There are two ways to get an account with young living, wholesale or retail. Retail you will pay FULL Price and not have the chance to get a kit that is discounted as a starter. You can opt for that... I think some people choose that option because they think signing up wholesale, they will be bothered by emails and or salespeople. This does NOT happen.... wholesale membership is just a way to get the discount BUT if you want to pursue essential oils as a business you are free too...but no lie, almost 90 percent of people with an account just sign up for a discount. I was one of those! But than I changed my mind after seeing the results, I love sharing! So it is there if you want it, YOU make what you want with it.... your own discount or something to pursue as a business... to pay for your oils or more! If you want to get your essential oils, I am here to help you.... give you support and information. Everyone who gets an account with Young living gets a sponsor... If you go directly on their site you will get a random sponsor. So post 37 and the info on top, I will provide a specific link to sign up for your own account with me as your sponsor. Once you do, I can add you to other groups to connect with finding out how others are using essential oils with their families! It is a win win!!!
