My Southern Young Living Monday's : Brain Power

If you are new to My Southern Young Living Monday's please take a moment to visit the Introductory post, Science of Young Living Essential Oils and then come on back over here to check out today's post!

Today we are going to talk about how you can help your brain!!!!  As homeschooling mom's it is crucial that our brain stays 'fit' and it is our job to make sure that we give our children every opportunity to have the strongest brain possible!

 
•Do you think what your children eat today, will affect their academic success?



•Do you think that what your children eat today will affect their brain function as an adult?



In today's culture we are living on the move, everyone is living in the fast lane unless you are purposing to live your life differently.

So for most people, that means that you meals consist of drive through dining or out of the box meals. Both of these options, while sometimes affordable and quick. Your body is paying the ultimate consequence.

What do we need to consume in order to improve and maintain proper brain function?




•Fats

–Omega 3, Omega 6, and other fatty acids

•Carbohydrates

•Protein

•Vitamins

•Minerals

•Water


Compared to 100 years ago, Omega 3 (Essential Fatty Acid) is down 80%,

B vitamins are estimated to be down to about 50% of the daily requirement. Vitamin B6 consumption may be low as it is removed in grain milling and not replaced. Vitamins B1, B2, B3, and E have also been lost in food processing. Minerals are depleted in a similar way. Fiber is down 75-80%. Antinutruients have increased substantially—saturated fat, 100%; cholesterol, 50%; refined sugar nearly 1000% salt up to 500% and funny fat isomers nearly 1,000%”.  ~Dr Donaldo Rudin

 

Take away all the fluid out of your brain and you will find that 60% of its mass is fat. Most of that fat is composed of DHA. DHA is one of 2 beneficial long-chain omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil. EPA is the other one, but it’s found in very low concentrations in the brain. The tissues that have the highest concentrations of DHA are the retina of the eye (essential for taking in visual information, the synapses that control the flow of neurotransmitters between nerve cells in the brain and the mitochondria in each brain nerve cell that provide the energy to keep those cells alive.

If DHA is deficient in any of these 3 critical brain components, your mental functioning suffers and your intelligence begins to fall.

We are eating less Omega-3 fatty acids now than ever before. Diets used to contain Omega-3 and Omega-6 acids at a ratio of approximately 1:1. Today’s ratio stands between 1:10 and 1:20-25 (Omega-3:Omega-6)

 

We are not getting enough Omega-3 fatty acids to grow a healthy brain. Corn and safflower oils provide most of our Omega-6 fatty acids, but it is Omega 3 fatty acid (DHA) and (EPA) that are critical in the development of brain tissue, forming the very membrane that encases each of the 10 trillion neurons in the brain.

To complicate matters, mass-produced animals don’t contain the same amount of Omega-3 acids that wild-raised animals contain.  For example, farm-raised fish like salmon have a different balance of Omega-3 fatty acids from salmon that jump the waterfalls in icy-cold rivers and feast on natural foods.

WITHOUT A BALANCE OF OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS, DHA, AND EPA, THE BRAIN WILL BE INADEQUATELY DEVELOPED.

So what are some of the affects of Omega 3 deficiency?

  • Depression

  • ADD/ADHD

  • Eating Disorders

  • Cognitive Disorders


•40% of 4th graders can’t read at a basic level.

•SAT scores have declined every year since 1980.

•It is said that it is difficult to assess how our kids are really doing in public schools, because the tests have been progressively “dumbed down”.

•For example, California lowered their standards by changing the tests and still the scores keep dropping.

Do you want your children to have more brain power?

Give them free-range eggs, Omega-3, good saturated fats from olives, Avocado, olive oil, coconut oil, non-processed butter (store bought butter has natural flavorings) meats that are grass fed and no steroids and antibiotics. Nuts and seeds like almonds, cashews and walnuts. Fish free of mercury, lead, PCB’s or dioxin.

I believe in whole foods over supplements. However…making sure that our children and my grandchildren are eating sufficient amounts of Omega 3’s I have found supplementation of this vital nutrient absolutely necessary.

Over the past 100 years, consumption of fresh produce has plummeted.

The USDA recommends 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily.



The average American eats less than 2 servings of both fruits and vegetables per day with a quarter of servings in the form of greasy, nutrient-dead french fries.

Ideally, 75% of your daily diet should include raw vegetables and fruits. Raw veggies and fruits can go beyond just veggie and fruit trays and salads. There are thousands of wonderful raw food recipes that can be found just on the internet.

Be careful of potatoes and carrots  because they have a much higher GI.

Grapefruit, apples, cherries, oranges, and grapes have a low glycemic index.

FYI about whole fruit vs. fruit juice… the GI of whole fruit ranks lower than juices, because the FIBER in the fruit slows the absorption of the fructose or fruit sugar.

Building a Supernormal Brain
•Supplement diet with Omega-3 pure fish oil*

•Maintain an insulin controlled diet

–Low-glycemic sugar foods only

•30 to 40 minutes of aerobic exercise daily

•Anaerobic strength training 2 or 3 times a week

•Meditation / Prayer

* Dr. Sears actually advocated 5-10 grams of a pure pharmaceutical pure Omega-3 fish oil, but with  a monthly blood test to check your AA/EPA ratio.

Bad Brain Foods
•Artificial food colorings & flavorings

•Artificial sweeteners

•Bleached flour

•Candy

•High fructose corn syrup

•Hydrogenated fats (trans fats)

•Snack foods

Good Brain Foods




• Avocados

•Bananas

•Lean Beef

•Brewer’s Yeast

•Broccoli

•Brown Rice

•Brussels Sprouts

•Cantaloupe

•Chicken


•Collard Greens

•Eggs

•Flaxseed Oil

•Legumes

•Oatmeal

•Oranges

•Almond Butter

•Cashew Butter


•Walnut butter

•Peas

•Romaine Lettuce

•Salmon

•Spinach

•Tuna

•Turkey

•Wheat Germ

•Yogurt






In addition to these nutrient dense foods, supplementation is highly recommended. Our family uses; Omega Blue and Ningxia Red. 

"Omega Blue provides a clinically proven dose of omega 3 fatty acids, which support heart, brain, eye and joint health. {Young Living's} Omega Enhance preservation system blends pure blue chamomile, lemongrass, and clove essential oils to increase shelf life and ensure freshness. "

NingXia  Red are made with NingXia Wolfberries, which have been used for centuries for anti-aging, and health enhancing properties.  "NingXia Red is infused with the power of lemon and orange essential oils. NingXia Red is a nutritious wolfberry supplement that energizes, fortifies, and replenishes the body. Along with wolfberries, natures most powerful super-fruit, NingXia Red combines five other nutrient dense fruits like blueberries, raspberries and pomegranates to provide energy and an a array of health promoting antioxidants."

My Southern Young Living Mondays: Peppermint

Do you find yourself having trouble staying alert? Do you have digestive issues? Or chronic or periodic headaches?

Let me introduce you to Young Living's Peppermint Essential Oil and all it can do for you!

As homeschoolers, we can utilize peppermint’s ability to  improve concentration and mental accuracy.

Place two drops on the tongue to improve concentration,  alertness, memory and focus. You can even rub some on the bottoms of your feet to help you stay alert!

Peppermint is anti-infectious, antibacterial, antifungal, is also a pain reliever, expectorant and anti-inflammatory for the intestinal and urinary tract.

It has been used with success for digestive problems, fever, heartburn, headaches, respiratory infections toothaches and much more.

Add to herbal tea to aid digestion. Rub on stomach when queazy. Can be added to hot water or massaged on stomach to support normal digestion.

Applied to the bottom of feet or on temples for headaches. and it is wonderful for soothing sore muscles.

Spray on plants to deter aphids and you can add it to some water and spray it to kill ants, or if you know where the ants are coming from, simply put a drop on a cotton ball and place, and they will not return!

Peppermint is one of my go to oils. I personally use it for headaches, on a simi-regular headaches. My once daily migraines are now happening less than once  a week, perhaps 2 or 3 times a month. However, they do not progress into migraines, because peppermint zaps it before it has the chance!

I also use it on my wrist pulse points for heartburn and indigestion. I also use it right on my stomach if we have a bit of a queasy stomach.

My athletic children, often use peppermint for their sore muscles after playing sports. It relieves the pain almost instantly! Young Living Peppermint Oil is something you will want to have in your arsenal!

My Southern Young Living Mondays: Citrus Oils

For the month of July Young Living has a special that is featuring their Citrus Oils line.



Free Citrus Oils!


Place a single order of 180 PV* or more from July 1–31 and receive a free 15-ml bottle of grapefruit,lemon, orange, and tangerine—a retail value of $66.12!



Celebrate the warm weather with four of Young Living’s most aromatic and versatile essential oils. The invigorating scents, refreshing flavors, and dietary benefits of citrus oils make them must-have products this summer season!

Grapefruitlemonorange, and tangerine each have a unique aroma and energize the mind and body. Diffuse frequently throughout your home or at work and notice how good you feel throughout the day.

Citrus oils also taste great when used in summer recipes. Replace flavored waters—which often contain sugar or artificial sweeteners—with this healthy alternative. Fill your stainless-steel water bottle with 5–10 drops of any citrus oil or a combination of these oils, add a teaspoon of Blue Agave, shake, and enjoy!

If shorts or swimwear are in your summer plans, know that citrus oils promote the breakdown of cholesterol and fats in the blood. These oils are often used in conjunction with diet and exercise programs to assist in weight management.**

Listen to this month's product education audio!

All of these citrus oils are high in d-limonene, which is clinically proven to combat cancer and protect the liver.  As we consume d-limonene it builds up in our fatty tissues, making it especially beneficial in reducing the risk of cancer in the breast and liver.
Orange - A couple of drops each morning in a one-ounce shot of NingXia Red.  Remarkably anti-carcinogenic and anti-tumoral based on it’s high 85%-96% limonene chemistry, orange oil has combated tumor growth in over 50 clinical studies. (SOURCE: Essential Oils for Physical Health & Well-Being by Linda L. Smith)

Lemon - Diffused in the air, this is a great way to refresh your home and kill airborne microbials.  Besides Thieves and Purification, lemon is my go-to oil for daily diffusing.  It's especially good to diffuse while sleeping to get rid of a cough.

Grapefruit - After shampooing my hair and towel drying it, I like to massage grapefruit oil into my scalp.  Its revitalizing and makes my scalp feel really clean.  I do this while my hair is damp otherwise it can appear greasy.

Tangerine - Another favorite for adding to NR, I also drink this in my water or wear it as a perfume.  A 1995 Mie University study found that citrus fragrances boosted immunity, induced relaxation and reduced depression.

As Debra Raybern states in Gentle Babies, citrus oils can be photosensitive, meaning don't coat your skin in them and go into direct sunlight for an hour.  However, like all Young Living essential oils, they are perfectly safe to use topically.

My Southern Young Living Mondays: Everyday Uses!

Welcome to My Southern Young Living Mondays! Each week I am going to be sharing with you how you can use Young Living Essential Oils in your everyday life!

Before we get into today's post, you should hop on over to my Young Living Page and then to my Science of Young Living Essential Oils post. By visiting these posts you will get a better understanding on how Young Living Essential Oils are used and why they work!

The information I share here, I either have gathered from personal use within my own family, or from books that are available, that are designed to teach you how to use each of the  Essential Oils.  You can find these books by visiting the  Life Science website.

Today, instead of just picking a couple of oils and spotlighting them, I going to look at some of the oils we have used in our home over the last week, and explain how we used them.  

This last week, the men in our home headed out for the Men and Boys Campout with our church. We planned and packed.. however, we did not send them with any oils! OH NO!  So needless to say, they came home with BUG BITES! Yuck!  What should we do? We got out the bottle of Young Living Purification Essential Oil Blend.

Purification has Citronella, Lemongrass, Lavandin, Rosemary, Melaleuca and Myrtle and Essential Oils.  Purification can be used to neutralize  odors, as well as to clean cuts, scrapes and bites.

So, we dabbed a bit of Purification on each bite. The itching was abated, and the healing has been accelerated.

 

Peppermint- I often said that Peppermint Oil is my favorite oil. One of the reasons, is because this oil is so very versatile.  You can use Peppermint for headaches, muscle aches, indigestion or stomach problems, toothaches and more!

At this point, I think that I need to share with you that before I started using Young Living Essential oils, I was a over the counter pill popper! I loved my ibuprofen! I HATE to be uncomfortable, and I HATE to be sick! So please understand that when I tell you that I am now using an oil to handle an ailment, then that oil has worked for me, and worked well!

When I use the Peppermint Oil on my head, across my hair line, I am amazed that within about 15 seconds ( if that) my headache is GONE!  My children have also used Peppermint to help them with muscle soreness after sports. I have used it in a pinch for heartburn, simply dabbed some on my neck and throat area... and I immediately experience cooling!

 

RC and Lavender are the two oils we use to work with my son's asthma. He has exercise induced asthma. So prior to his activity, he will put both of these oils on his chest and under his nose. And then when he is ready to be active, he puts both of those oils on his wrist pulse points. While he is active, if he feels that he needs an 'inhaler' he simply smells his wrists. Taking deep breaths, and he is able to continue with his activity without the need of his inhaler.

Please consult with your health care practitioner prior to starting any new health regimen.

RC is a blend of several eucalyptus oils, myrtle,spruce,peppermint,pine, lavender,marjoram and cypress.

As you  can see my family uses Young Living Essential Oils everyday, for many different ailments and injuries. Keep coming back every Monday and learn how you can use Young Living Essential Oils with your family!

My Southern Young Living Mondays: Di Gize and Pan Away

Before you continue, if you have not read my post on the Science of Essential Oils, please head over there now, and then come back here!

My plan is to cover a couple of oils each week, explain what the books tell you they are good for, and if they are oils we have used in my family, I will share with you we have used them!

I am going to start with oils that we use and depend on! 

The first oil I am going to share about it Di-Gize

Di Gize



•Blend of Tarragon, Ginger, Juniper, anise, Fennel, Patchouli, Peppermint, and Lemongrass essential oils

•Relieves digestive problems including digestion, heartburn, and bloating. Combats candida and parasite infestation.

•Uses- Great for stomach ailments, digestion issues, constipation, heartburn, IBS, diarrhea, food poisoning.

•All the oils in Di-Gize are anti-septic and can be used on cuts and other minor injuries.

Tarragon is antiseptic and combats intestinal parasites and urinary tract infection. It is antipasmodic, anti-inflammatory, anti-infectious, and prevents fermentation.

Ginger has been traditionally used to combat nausea and gastro-intestinal fermentation. It is antispamodic and antiseptic and combats indigestion.

Juniper works as a pwerful detoxifier and cleanser and amplifies kidney function

Anise is antispasmodic, antiseptic, stimulates and increases bile flow. Combats spastic colitis, indigestion, and intestinal pain.

Fennel: is antiseptic and stimulating to the gastrointestinal system. It is antispasmodic, antiseptic, and used for flatulence and nausea. It promotes digestion and prevents fermentation.

Patchouli: Powerful digestive aid that combats nausea.

Peppermint: Most highly regarded herb for improving digestion and combating parasites. It relaxes the smooth muscles of the intestinal tract and promotes peristalsis. It kills bacteria, yeasts, fungi and mold.

Lemongrass: Powerful antifungal properties. It is vasodilating, antiinflammatory and improves digestion.

Peppermint Anti-infectious, antibacterial, antifungal, is also a pain reliever, expectorant and anti-inflammatory for the intestinal and urinary tract.

Now my testimony with DiGize, is that I suffered with IBS for several years. I was sick for so long, that I dropped 60 pounds, and was extremely anemic... like 5.0 was my level and normal is between 12.0 and 15.0.

I changed my diet which helped me a great deal. However, I was still sick, and had fear of getting sick. So at any sign of an uneasy stomach, I was taking over the counter stomach aids. When I bought my first bottle of Young Living Essential Oils DiGize, I literally replaced all of those over the counter meds with the Di Gize. I was probably taking it both internally and topically, up to 10 times a day, everyday.  That slowly became, a couple times a day, then once a day, to a few times a week, to weekly... and now, I simply carry DiGize with me in case of a flair up. But I also keep it on hand for my kids. If they have indigestion, nausea, heartburn, anything, Di Gize will combat it. You simply rub DiGize over the area you are feeling ill, and it will subside, within minutes!  This is a must have for any families medicine cabinet!

The next oil we are going to discuss is the blend Pan Away.

 



Pan Away- Reduces pain and inflammation, increases circulation, accelerates healing. Relieves swellin and discomfort from arthritis, sprains, muscle spasms, cramps, bumps and bruises.

Ingredients:
1.  Helichrysum is a powerful anesthetic and analgesic. It quenches pain and inflammation and reduces muscle spasms.

2.  Wintergreen is strongly anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic. It is analgesic and reduces pain.

3.  Clove is used in the dental industry to numb the gum and kill pain. It is the most antimicrobial and antiseptic of all essential oils.

4.  Peppermint has powerful pain-blocking, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic properties. The University of Kiel in Germany found that peppermint oil had a significant analgesic effect.

 

Pan Away is one of our favorite oils. We have used Pan Away for headaches, sports injuries and soreness, general fatigue... anytime we have pain!  However recently, we actually used it to stop bleeding. I was out of town a few months ago, and I received a phone call that my son had a bloody nose for about 45 minutes. They were ready to take him to the ER. I asked them to wait just a bit, to see if we could get it to stop without going to the ER. Helichrysum stops bleeding, however, I did not have any at the house. So I had them use Pan Away, since Helichrysum is in Pan Away. At this point my son was laying on the couch, each time he sat up his nose would gush... I had them put 1 drop of Pan Away in each nostril. He laid down for about 5 minutes... we had him sit up, and guess what... no bleeding! And the bleeding never returned! I love when the affects of the Young Living Essential Oils are so evident!

My Southern Young Living Mondays!!! Science of Essential Oils!

Today starts the beginning of my weekly schedule of events! Mondays will forever more be known as My Southern Young Living Mondays!

My goal each Monday will be to share something with you that will teach you more about how to use Young Living Essential Oils in your daily life, to achieve abundant health and wellness!

Today we are going to talk about WHY Young Living Essential Oils work!

***Please take note! I am NOT a doctor! Any of the information shared on this page, is for education purposes only. Please consult a medical practitioner of your choice, before you begin any therapy. ****

So first let's talk about WHAT are Essential Oils???

•Life force of a plant


Aromatic liquids distilled from plants.

•Extremely potent



1.   One drop of peppermint oil is equal to 28 cups of peppermint tea.

2.  It takes 5,000 pounds of rose petals to make one pound of rose essential oil.

•Very beneficial to the human body


•Do not contain proteins, polypeptides or amino acids resulting in no potential allergens.

The volatile oil distilled from the plant contains none of the plant proteins or amino acids that are the source of allergic reactions to the plant.


  • Can be applied topically, inhaled or ingested.








 

 

 

 

 

 

What Makes a Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil?


A therapeutic grade essential oils is defined here as one that is specifically distilled from plants that are cultivated organically or grown wild in a clean environment. (Not along a highway) The plants should be from proper genus, species, and cultivar. No chemical fertilizers are added to the soil, and crop cultivation is free of herbicides and pesticides.  Essential oils should be extracted by steam distillation at minimum temperatures and pressures, as was done in ancient times.. No chemical solvents are to be used in extraction process.

There is nothing wrong with producing food or perfume grade oils. The problem comes when such oils are bottled and labeled as therapeutic. As common practice, a decent grade oil is taken and diluted with 90%-95%  odorless, colorless solvent ( usually an inexpensive petrochemical) so that what was a pound of good oil, becomes 10 or 20 pounds of diluted oil.  These oils still carry labels that say Genuine or 100% pure which is indeed allowed by the FDA.

Example- You can be sure that if you see a bottle of Frankincense for $10-$20 for a full fluid ounce, it has been diluted. You simply cannot gather the resins from the Arabian and Somalian Deserts, transport them to France or England to be distilled and then import them to the US for that price and maintain quality and purity.

For every pound of Frankincense distilled, there are dozens of pounds eventually sold.  A pure, unadulterated frankincense should cost around $140 per ounce.

Currently, there are no standards for therapeutic grade essential oils labeling in North America, so labeling fraud is rampant. Therefore, you need to be sure that you know your grower, distiller, packager, and your distributor..any where along this chain of delivery, oils can be compromised.

 

Young Living Pure Therapeutic


Grade Essential Oils: God’s Medicine


 

Gary Young, Founder and President of Young Living, reintroduced essential oils to millions worldwide. He is on a mission to educated the world about the benefits of essential oils.

 

Young Living is the world leader in essential oils. All of the essential oils sold by Young Living are based on oils that have been graded according to AFNOR standards; a set of standards that have been established in Europe that outlines the chemical profile and principal constituents that a quality oil should have. We either meet or exceed AFNOR standards.

 

Young Living cultivates, distills, and markets the highest-quality essential oils in the world.



What God created for us; pure therapeutic grade essential oils, will never lose its potency and effectiveness for as long as humans exist on this planet as long as the plants exist and someone has the knowledge of how to harvest them…

 

 

 

Young Living follows their product from Seed to Seal....




The key to producing a therapeutic grade essential oil is to preserve as many of the delicate aromatic compounds within the essential oil as possible.

 

Fragile aromatic chemicals are easily destroyed by high temperature and pressure, as well as contact with chemically reactive metals such as copper or aluminum. All therapeutic essential oils should be distilled in stainless steel cooking chambers at low pressure and low temperature.

 

The plant material should also be free of herbicides and other agrichemicals. These can react with the essential oil during distillation to produce toxic compounds. Many pesticides are oil soluble and can mix into the essential oil. It is necessary to obtain the purest essential oil possible for the power of essential oils in the realm of personal and holistic healing. No matter how much the cost, the essential oil must not be compromised or diluted.

 

Because of the complex nature of the hundred of chemical compounds contained in the essential oil, many of the molecules and isomers are impossible to successfully recreate in the chemistry laboratory. Many fragrances have been synthetically made, but they lack therapeutic benefits and may even carry risks.

 

Therapeutic grade means 100% of all chemical constituents are present in the essential oil; they are not fractionated, adulterated, or cut with other oils. Young Living owns technologically advanced distilleries for the production of pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils. They conduct stringent testing for purity and excellence.

How are Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils Used?


•First Aid

•Stress management

•Pain management

•Diffused into the air

•Improving the quality of life

It is possible to use therapeutic-grade oils as natural medicines because essential oils and human blood share several common properties.
•They fight infection. Many of the oils possess potent antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. While antibiotics kill the good and bad bacteria, essential oils only attack the bad bacteria.

•They contain hormone-like compounds. Oils like clary sage and sage that contain sclerol, have a strong estrogenic action. Working like hormones helps bring the body back into balance.

•They also initiate regeneration. Some essential oils like clove have the ability to decrease the viscosity or thickness of the blood and can also enhance circulation and immune function.

•Research has shown that when essential oils are diffused, they can increase atmospheric oxygen and provide negative ions, which in turn inhibits bacterial growth. This suggest that EO’s could play an important part in air purification and neutralizing odors. Because of their ionizing action, EO’s have the ability to break down potentially harmful chemicals and render them nontoxic.


Essential oils have a chemical structure that is similar to that found in human cells and tissues. This makes essential oils compatible with human protein and enables them to be readily identified and accepted by the body.

 

Aromatic science is a new field of research that is rediscovering the many health benefits of aromatherapy once lost in antiquity but are now being verified and refined by modern science and improving the quality of human life.
