"Everyone In The World Can Use Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils, They Just Don't Know It Yet." -Miss Emma


Welcome To The Oils Indusrty!  Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils That Is!
One of the factors that determine the purity of an oil is its chemical constituents or properties. These constituents can be affected by a vast number of variables, including: the part(s) of the plant from which the oils was produced, soil condition, fertilizer (organic or chemical), geographical region, climate, altitude, harvesting methods, and distillation processes. For example common thyme (Thymus Vulgaris) produces several different chemo types )biochemically unique variants within one species), depending on the conditions of its growth, climate, and altitude. One chemo type of thyme will yield an essential oil with high levels of thymol, depending on the time of year it is distilled. The later it is distilled in the growing season (mid summer or fall). The more thymol the oil will contain. The action Thymol has is that it is highly antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, uterine tonic, cardiotonic.

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.

This is why all Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil should be distilled in stainless steel cooking chambers at a low pressure and low temperature.
 

This is one of the reason I am letting you know why it is so important to know that there is a difference in Pure Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils and other grades of essential oils.   Why when someone who may use lavender for instance,  does not get the disired effect they thought they would get, and call it snake oil.   It's because it is inferior, the molecules have been fractored making it a low grade oil.


In distilling essential oil, it is not just a job, it is an ART.  The operator of the distiller must have a full understanding of the value of the oil in order to produce the highest quality of oil. Oils that are subjected to high heat and pressure have a distinctly simpler and inferior profile of chemical constituents, since excessive heat and temperature fractures and breaks down many of the delicate aromatic compounds within the oil--some of which are responsible for its therapeutic action can make it useless and can be harmful.   When that happens then you no longer have Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil.  Also the length of time in distilling is very crucial.  


For instance:

Cypress: takes 2000 lbs. to get 1 lb of oil, distilled at 0 pressure and 2200 degrees, when finished it contains 280 aromatic compounds.  

If it is distilled for 20 hours you only get  20 of the 280 properties.

If distilled for 26 hours you get 0 properties.

The correct length of time for distilling cypress is 24 hours, which gives you the full 280 aromatic compounds. 

Most distillers distill cypress for only 3 1/2 hours.  So are you going to get any value out of that cypress?  No your not!  That is why it is important to know the difference between pure Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil versus other oils.   They can say they are pure, which they have the right,  if there is one drop of pure oil in the bottle.  But most of the time when you ask how it was distilled they can not tell you.

Someone Touched My Heart Today

Posted on Feb 5th, 2007 by Miss Emma : Seeker of Truth Miss Emma
 

It Is A Great Amazement, Sometimes, How Life Flows...


Today, I received some interesting email information and it was just what I had been wanting to share.  That is how someone touched my heart. This is such great information for those who desire, value, and enjoy the benefits of optimal health.  Today I share....


SOME HISTORY OF ESSENTIAL OILS

According to the translation of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using essential oils thousands of years before the time of Christ. They were man's first medicines.

The Egyptians were the first to discover the potential of fragrance. They created various fragrances for use in rituals and ceremonies, and for use as medicines.

The ancient art of distillation dates back several thousand years before the time of Christ. In 1922, when King Tutankhamen's tomb was opened, 350 liters of well-preserved oils were found in alabaster jars.

There are some 188 references to oils in the Bible. Some precious oils, such as frankincense, myrrh, rosemary, hyssop and spikenard, were used for anointing and healing of the sick. Biblical prophets recognized the use of essential oils as a protection for their bodies against the ravages of disease. The three wise men brought the Oils of Frankincense and Myrrh to the Christ Child. Clinical research now shows that Frankincense Oil contains very high immuno-stimulating properties.

During the Black Plague of the 16th century, a small band of rogues were caught in the act of theft and brought before the king, who forced them to divulge a most curious secret. The thieves were all from a family of apothecaries. They had been entering the homes of plague victims and stripping the dead bodies of anything of value that could be found. Although the plague was highly contagious, not one of these ever contracted the dread disease, even though their thefts had put them in constant daily contact with the dead bodies of their victims. The thieves were familiar with a combination of specific plant oils that, when rubbed over their bodies, would protect them from contracting this feared and deadly plague. The Thieves blend from Young Living was re-created from the documentation of the extraordinary case.

In another example from history, virtually the entire town of Bucklers Bury, England was spared from the plague, even while residents of other towns in close proximity were dying in droves. This fortunate town was the center of European Lavender trade.

This is not a new science. It's a science and an art form that is being rediscovered in modern times.

Europe, Especially France, England, Germany and Switzerland Use Essential Oils in Medical Applications. Hospitals and doctors use them to treat patients.


What are Essential Oils?

Volatile liquids or resins from plants, shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes and seeds. They are what give plants their characteristic odors, as in the fragrance of pine or a rose.

Essential oils are literally the life force of the plant. The powerful chemical properties of the plant is what gives it the ability to repair structural damage, destroy infections, ward off infestations, and promote healthy growth.

Essential oils and blood are almost identical in function and purpose.

--Blood is there to nurture and feed the cells of the body.

--Essential oils are there to feed and nurture the cells of the plant.

--Both cleanse a cut or tear.

--Both fight off harmful microorganisms

--Both provide nutrients and oxygen for cell regeneration.


How Therapeutic - Grade Essential Oils transform on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels:

OlfactoryOdor molecules travel to the top of the nasal cavity and fit like puzzle pieces into specific receptor cells on the cilia. The cilia are little bundles of six to eight tiny hairs that extend from each of about 10 million olfactory nerve cells. These millions of nerve cells (that are replaced every twenty-eight days) make up a membrane that is known as the olfactory epithelium. The epithelium serves to transfer electric impulses from the cilia to the olfactory bulb, which it covers. The olfactory bulb, in turn, sends those impulses along to the amygdala (which is responsible for storing and releasing emotional trauma) and further on to 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 some very profound physiological and psychological effects.


Frequency: 
What is frequency and how does it pertain to essential oils? Frequency is a measurable rate of electrical energy that is constant between any two points. Everything has an electrical frequency. Bruce Tainio of Tainio Technology in Cheny, Washington, developed new equipment to measure the bio-frequency of humans and foods. The frequencies of essential oils are harmonious with the electrical field of the body. Essential Oils raise the frequency of the body, which allows the body to heal itself. This is known as vibrational medicine.

The benefits of pure therapeutic essential oils:
 
Essential oils are the regenerating, oxygenating, and immune defense properties of plants.
oils are so small in molecular size that they can quickly penetrate the tissues of the skin.

Essential oils are lipid soluble and are capable of penetrating cell walls, even if they have hardened because of an oxygen deficiency. In fact, essential oils can affect every cell of the human body within 20 minutes and are then metabolized like other nutrients.

Essential oils contain oxygen molecules, which help to transport nutrients to the starving human cells. Because a nutritional deficiency is an oxygen deficiency, disease begins when the cells lack the oxygen for proper nutrient assimilation. By providing the needed oxygen, essential oils also work to stimulate the immune system.

Essential oils are very powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants create an unfriendly environment for free radicals. They prevent all mutations, work as free radical scavengers, prevent fungus, and prevent oxidation in the cells.

Essential oils are may help to reduce and eliminate bacteria, fungus, infections, microbes, parasites, viruses and growths. Essential oils have been shown to destroy all tested bacteria and viruses simultaneously restoring balance to the body.

Essential oils may detoxify the cells and blood in the body.

Essential oils containing sesquiterpenes have the ability to pass the blood-brain barrier, as was discovered through research in Austria and Germany.

Essential oils are aromatic. When diffused, they provide air purification by:

--Removing metallic particles and toxins from the air.

--Increasing atmospheric oxygen.

--Increasing ozone and negative ions in the area, which inhibit bacterial growth.

--Destroying odors from mold, cigarettes and animals.

--Filling the air with a fresh, aromatic scent.

Essential oils help promote emotional, physical and spiritual healing.

Essential oils have a bio-electrical frequency that is several times greater than the frequency of herbs, food and even the human body. Clinical research has shown that essential oils can quickly raise the frequency of the human body, restoring it to its normal, healthy level.

Purity and quality--not all essential oils are equal:

97% of essential oils are produced for industrial use.

According to Flora Research, a major international essential oil testing laboratory, many so-called "essential oils" on the market are either synthetic, adulterated or improperly distilled. Jean Valnet, MD, a pioneer in essential oils research, also warned, "Essential oils are often adulterated with alcohol, fixed oils, essential oils of less value and certain synthetic esthers." Why?  Because of economics.

Example: Much of the oil sold as lavender is a actually a hybrid called lavendin, which yields more but doesn't have the same therapeutic properties as true lavender. This hybrid is often cut with synthetic linalol acetate to amplify the fragrance, and then adulterated with propylene glycol, an odorless solvent to expand volume.


What to look for in a pure, therapeutic essential oil:


Organically grown--no pesticides.

Soil enriched with enzymes, trace minerals and organic bio-solids.

Steam distilled with low heat and low pressure.

Precise timing for each plant in the distiller (some plants need 24 hours in the distiller; others only need 2 hours (see chart) to get all the constituents out.

Plants harvested at the correct time of day (each plant is unique) to get the fullest properties of the plant.

Grow only authentic species, not hybrids.

Use independent testing for quality control. Every batch of oil at Young Living is independently tested at Flora Research, and sometimes in labs in France and England as well. Each batch is guaranteed not only for purity, but also for the highest quality to assure therapeutic value.

How to use the oils:

Essential oils are easy to use. You don't need to be an expert
.

Cold diffusing produces a fine aroma mist for inhaling and an air purifier

Apply them "neat" (undiluted) on location.

Apply them via Massage.

Apply on the feet. The reflex points on the feet reflect the entire body. All the nerve endings are in the feet.

Baths. It's recommended to use the bath gel base to help disperse the essential oils into the water.

Clearing The Mind And Body With Hyssop Oil

Posted on Feb 8th, 2007 by Miss Emma : Seeker of Truth Miss Emma
 

Plant Origin:  France, Hungary


Extraction Method:  Stem distilled from stems/leaves


Hyssop has been known since Biblical times as a powerful healing agent. It was considered sacred by the ancient Greeks and was used for purifying the body and cleansing sacred spaces before ceremonies took place.


Today, Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil of Hyssop is used to clean the body inside and out. It is thought to be supportive of the immune, digestive and nervous systems, and its effects on the respiratory system and improving breathing have also been studied.


Therapeutic-grade hyssop essential oil is said to bring a feeling of alertness to the person who uses it. Its fresh, woody scent is slightly sweet is invigorating and clarifying. Hyssop oil is thought to be helpful at eliminating feelings of fatigue and anxiety.


It has been reported that Hyssop Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil can improve blood circulation and help improve low blood pressure. It is noted for its ability to ease symptoms of viral infections and respiratory problems such as coughs, sore throats, flu and asthma.


Hyssop oil is also thought to be helpful for colic, flatulence and indigestion and can help with bleeding and fluid retention problems involved with the monthly cycle.


Therapeutic-Grade Essential Hyssop Oil is a good choice for most people to use externally. It should not be used by women who are pregnant or by people suffering from epilepsy because of the component pinocamphone.


As with all essential oils, avoid getting hyssop oil into your eyes and be sure to wash your hands well before and after use. Hyssop oil usually does not cause skin sensitivities. It is a wonderful addition to massage oils or lotions that are used to ease stress and reduce anxiety.


Hyssop oil may also be helpful in reducing scarring and eliminating signs of bruising, so it is a good therapeutic-grade essential oil to use in a lotion for that purpose as well.


Another wonderful use of Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil of Hyssop is in a steam treatment to help relieve respiratory problems. Just add a couple of drops to a bowl full of steaming water, put your head over the bowl and a towel over your head to seal in the steam. Breathe in the vapors for about 10 minutes and you should feel much better.


Hyssop is famously used in the French liqueur Chartreuse, but its uses go far beyond beverages.

How to Attract New Clients with Seminars and Workshops
By Shannon Kilkenny


Face it ladies, we can all use a new or different form of marketing, promotion and/or publicity. I'm a true believer in multiple venues for getting my name and product out to my potential customers and clients. One avenue I have found that works for me is planning and implementing seminars and workshops. This great marketing tool also gets me out of the house, away from my computer and face to face with my customers and potential clients.


Who is the perfect candidate for leading a seminar or workshop? Anyone who has a product or service to offer and wants more clients and customers - is that you? This brief overview shows you the benefits of seminars and workshops and helps to get you started with development and designing ideas.


First, let's define seminars and workshops. With this understanding you will be able to decide which fits you and your marketing plan.

A Seminar tends to be more instructive with a lecturer speaking to an audience about a specific topic. Seminars typically handle a larger audience with this structure. You can have hundreds of participants - just listening with little to no interaction.

A Workshop tends to be more interactive, more of a hands-on learning. It is usually a smaller group because of the activity structure. Typically workshops cater to a smaller group where you might break out and work in even smaller groups throughout the allotted timeframe.


So What is in it For You?

There are a number of benefits to harvest with these types of events.

1. Exposure and Name Recognition - You can reach a large audience base. It is a way of introducing your name and business to potential clients and customers. It is said that a person needs to hear your name 5-7 times before they will buy from you or use your services. This is an excellent outlet for word-of-mouth marketing.

2. Establish Credibility - When you lead workshops or seminars, people automatically look at you as an expert. They are more likely to trust what you say. You build trust and a reputation as well, so make sure what you say is true. Offer them a solution.


3. Generate Leads
- These leads are priceless. If they attend your event or contact you for more information, a solid connection has been made. I have a list of everyone who has taken my class or come to my workshop, purchased my book or made an inquiry of any of the above. And when my next book comes out....I have a list of direct leads.


4. Selling Opportunity
- Seminars and workshops can create a multi-stream of income. First you can charge for the workshop (not always appropriate). Second, sell your product and your services - possibly repeatedly (back of the room sales).


5. Learn your market
- Learn needs and desires of your audience. After each event you will have learned more from your participants and can then transform your curriculum to cover those new issues. You can incorporate that information into your next presentation or you might get new ideas and create a totally different seminar or create a new product. Evaluations forms are priceless.

Sometimes these results aren't noticed right away, because the client isn't ready at the moment. But they will remember you when their need arises. And if they keep seeing your name out there...when they are ready, they will come to you.


How to Developing a Workshop or Seminar

Let's do a quick test to see if you are a candidate to create a workshop or seminar by going through the next 8 steps. See what you come up with and decide whether or not you have something worthwhile to give. And of course you do or else you wouldn't even be reading this article.


1. Define yourself:
Write down your profession or the special knowledge you have - keep it simple at first. For example:
Profession: Attorney, mortgage broker, chiropractor, business consultant, event planner, writer, accountant, financial planner, etc.
Knowledge: Health care, web design, coaching, event planning, vitamins, teacher, real estate, organizer, etc.

2. Define your services and products: Write down what your services or the products you have to offer such as coaching, consulting, teacher, trainer, books, newsletters, classes and/or workshops, etc.


3. Get specific
: What information or skill do you have and would want to share with others? If you're a mortgage broker, maybe you specialize in 1st time buyers or are creative with financing and work with people who own and want to own multiple income properties. Or you're a chiropractor and you specialize in young children or pregnant women or sports injuries. Or you're a tax account and you specialize in real estate or small businesses or an attorney who specialized in creating trusts and financial planning.....You get the idea.


4. List Potential Topics:
Out of the list above, list some topics you could teach and train others.


5. List your target audience:
Who would be interested in what you have to offer. You need to get specific here. When it comes to marketing, knowing who these people are will save you time and money.


6. Bring in Others:
List others who you might want to create an alliance with you and work together on a combined curriculum. Find someone with additional knowledge or complimentary knowledge or a product that would enhance your event.


7. Prepare an agenda:
Take everything from above and begin working on the details. This will ultimately begin the process of designing your agenda/curriculum. Make sure you have a compelling topic and offer a solution!


8. Write an enticing course title:
With the information you've written down, start creating a title. Don't be surprised if it changes often until you find the right one. And you will know when you have it.

By following the above steps you have developed the shell / template for your workshop or seminar. Keep going to the design stage if you have discovered you have great topic and program to use as a selling tool.


Designing a Workshop / Seminar

Remember that the ultimate goal is obtain the benefits that we spoke of earlier! You want to present a quality image of you and your product or service. What you are looking for are new clients and you want quality clients not just quantity. Think of your workshop or seminar as a sales call for a large number of potential clients.


Create an Agenda
- Make sure your topic and/or presentation is gripping and solutions based. People don't just buy products and services....they buy solutions. They have problems and they want you to provide the answers. How does your service or product provide a solution? What answers do you have to a problem? These are the topics and issues that you want to present. What I can do for you!


If the complete solution involves a third party - bring them in. With the right collaboration you are able to offer participants more solutions in one setting.


Be specific and avoid topics that are too general. Unless the workshop is just a teaser to other things such as an all day course or a series of coaching sessions, etc. I give workshops for the Learning Annex and only have 3 hours to teach Event Planning. There is not nearly enough time to explain it all....So the participants want to buy my book as they leave for the rest of the story!


Know Your Audience
- Select the right target audience and prospects. These are the people who need your services and products - they need a solution that you can provide. Are they individuals, small business owners, women, parents, students, people in career transition, people in pain - emotionally or physical, new home buyers, somebody having tax problems, financial investment needs, the corporate sector, the list goes on and on.


Clarifying your audience will help you effectively communicate your solution in your invitation and ultimately your presentation. Find out how to reach your audience. Will it be through email, flyer, phone calls, invitations, etc. What will work best for your situation? Network for leads - always be on the look out for potential clients. Make sure you get everyone's business card and put it in your database right away.


Attract your Clients
- Create and deliver an attractive invitation that demands action. Craft something that will entice them to come to your event. Use the AIDA principal for the invitation:

Attention - Grab the readers' attention
Interest - Generate interest
Desire - Create the desire within them to keep reading or phone
Action - Tell them what to do. Act Now, Buy Now, Phone Today, Buy This book!


Once you have a presentation whether it is a seminar or a workshop, you can recycle it. No need to reinvent the wheel. So the initial time it takes to create the presentation will pay off over and over again.


And for those of you out there who think you can't possibly present a workshop or seminar - because of a fear of speaking in front of a group. I'm here to tell you I was there! But I started out speaking with small groups and then worked my way up. But fear of public speaking is a whole other article! In fact...it could be a great workshop topic for one of you ladies.


Plan well, plan often and expect success.

Testimonials

Posted on Feb 15th, 2007 by Miss Emma : Seeker of Truth Miss Emma
 

Fungus

When Mr. A first came to visit me and showed me the multiple areas of fungal infestation, I'll have to say it was the worst case I had ever seen. My Fungus

Having a fungal infection is not only bothersome, but if left unchecked it can lead to systemic fungal infection in the blood stream. This can then develop into a host of other health challenges.


The fungus generally likes to take up residence on the skin, between toes where it is moist, like in the case of athletes foot. Sometimes it will grow under the nail bed, and I have even seen cases of fungus on the forehead, arms and legs.


It usually starts with a blotchy appearance of white spots on the skin. The texture of the skin then becomes rough and dry. If untreated it will then become scaly, develop sores, and bleed. Most of the time the area is very dry and also itches.  But as bad as it sounds and feels, fungus can be cured in a relatively short time, without the use of pharmaceutical medications.


The following program was developed for a gentleman that had systemic fungal infections all over his body, and in his blood. Due to the severity of his fungal infection, this program is very intense.


My thought was, I'm so glad that I have access to the best herbs and essential oils available, because this is really bad.

His attitude was a bit skeptical, after all, for thirty years he had tried all the medical community had to offer to no avail. The strongest most potent anti-biotics didn't even make a dent. I don't think he really thought natural means would help, but to please his wife, and just incase, he was willing to try anything.


We used the BTA system to get a picture of his overall health, and then after an hour or so of consulting with him, we proceeded to get the oils going. I had him use the therapeutic essential oils of Oregano, Thieves, Melrose, Purification, Abundance, and Lavender, applying several drops of each "neat" to the effected area. He was instructed to repeat this at least twice per day.


Orally he was to put 4-5 drops of oregano oil in juice to drink daily. He took the digestive enzyme formula with meals, and  a very potent protease enzyme to cleanse the blood was taken twice daily on an empty stomach.

Just one week later he called to get more oils. He said he was feeling better on the inside and out, and when he returned in 21 days his skin was remarkably better. Several smaller areas have already completely cleared of the sores, and his skin is back to normal in some areas.


Mind you this man has tried everything over the past 30 years to no avail. Using natural therapeutic grade oils, plant enzymes and herbs, we were able to kill the fungus and feed his body the nutrients it needed to get well.

We also used a 3% solution of food grade 35% hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and Epsom salts in the bath to wash the infected area two or three times per week, and for general detoxing.


This man has passed the fungus to his daughter, who is just beginning to show the signs of the infection. She will be following Dad using the same protocol.

Not only is the fungal infection clearing up, but getting rid of a problem that has plagued him for 30 years is giving him a better outlook on life.


"You too can have victory over health challenges. Don't be discouraged if you don't get the results you want overnight-some challenges take more time than others. Your mental outlook and faithfulness to the program, all generate into results."


P.S.  You can not grasp the severity of this man's fungal infection unless you have seen it.  Thankfully he is a photographer and has taken photos of his progress.

The Amazing Wolfberry, The Worlds Most Powerful Food Antioxidant.

Posted on Feb 19th, 2007 by Miss Emma : Seeker of Truth Miss Emma
   

The NingXia Wolfberry is a native Chinese vine adorned with trumpet-shaped flowers and deep red fruits.


Known by ancients as the herb of transcendence. Wolfberry has grown in NingXia, China for hundreds of years and its fruit is highly valued for its pleasant taste, nutrient value, and medicinal properties.


There are legends about the fruit dating back 5,000 years.


Wolfberries Are a Chinese National Treasure
The good health and vitality of the Ningxia elderly has long been attributed to wolfberries. To the people of the province, a bowl of fresh wolfberries a day is part of life. Its health benefits have been extolled for generations. In fact even today, the Ningxia wolfberry is considered a national treasure.


Neutralizing Free Radicals
Have you ever seen a peeled apple turn brown? Free radicals are the culprit. The same thing happens when the body is stressed-either physically or mentally, or from environmental toxins. Free radicals attack the body, and are the principal reason for the aging process.


  • According to the American Heart Association, heart disease kills moreAmericans than any other disease, with 61.8 percent having some form of cardiovascular disease. 

  • The American Heart Association also recommends antioxidants from a food source.
Protect DNA
If free radicals remain unchecked, they can even attack DNA, the blueprint used to
create each new cell in the body. If not repaired, damaged DNA copies itself to new
cells created. In this manner, each new cell is damaged, and mutation can occur.
A number of studies show that wolfberry is protective against DNA breakage and mutations.
 Enhancing Immunity
In a landmark pre-clinical study published in the peer-reviewed Journal of the
American Nutraceutical Association, researchers determined that wolfberry juice,
and NingXia Red, have immune boosting benefits.

Protecting and Supporting the Pancreas and Liver
Protecting the pancreas and liver has an affect on digestion, blood sugar, toxicity, and male and female health hormones.


Supporting Eye Health

One of the carotenoids found in the wolfberry in higher than normal amounts, is called Zeaxanthin. There are some 40 clinical studies showing it is a powerful eye protectant.


NingXia Red Has Captured Longevity and Vitality in a Bottle.

By developing a proprietary formula that combines wolfberry juice with the juices of blueberries, raspberries, apricots, and pomegranates, Young Living created NingXia Red, an amazing "synergistic" juice.


Research at Cornell University proved the synergistic effects of the phytochemicals found in whole foods. What this means is that sometimes "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts."

Young Living research lab has confirmed that the juices combined in NingXia Red's proprietary blend actually boost one another's antioxidant properties to produce a higher ORAC measurement than would be achieved by simply adding their scores together.


NingXia Red Uses Natural Synergy to Create #1 Antioxidant Drink

Look at the label! Other health drinks contain "junk juices" such as white grape, apple, and pear. These sugary juices contain very little health benefit. Our own juices are carefully selected rich, dark juices known to enhance longevity and health. These darker juices are extremely high in anthocyanidins, flavanoids, and carotenoids, which have been shown to strengthen collagen, protect against cardiovascular disease, and absorb free radicals. The synergy between these essential phytonutrients (i.e., plant nutrients) multiplies its effect on crucial biochemical processes within the body. Synergy means that these juices combined have more antioxidant activity than the sum of the individual juices. It's the synergy of nature's best ingredients that makes NingXia Red the most powerful antioxidant juice anywhere. Tests prove that NingXia Red is indeed SYNERGIZED!


Essential Oils

ORAC testing has shown that essential oils have also been found to have the very powerful antioxidant d-limonene. NingXia Red is the only drink available that contains lemon and orange essential oils. These oils alone have remarkable health promoting benefits, which is just one more reason that NingXia Red is the most amazing health drink available.


Other Rejuvenating Ingredients

Ningxia wolfberry, the primary ingredient in NingXia Red, along with the powerful combination of select juices and essential oils, is what makes NingXia Red the juice of choice for daily health optimization!

Wolfberry-The Miracle Superfood. Supports Multiple Biosystems, 

Ultra-Rich Nutrient Source
Blueberry Contains Ultra High Levels of Antioxidants
Pomegranate Supports Cardiovascular Health
Apricot Revered for Longevity Support
Raspberry Contains Ellagic Acid, a DNA Protectant
Essential Oils Contain the Antioxidant D-Limonene



Competitive Analysis
When NingXia Red was tested, the ORAC results were astounding. The ORAC results disclosed that not only is the NingXia Wolfberry the world's highest antioxidant food, but NingXia Red is the number one antioxidant product on the market today.


Ultra High in Antioxidants
NingXia Red is considered to be a wide-spectrum antioxidant, meaning it does more than just protect the body against a single "free-radical" (free radicals in the body damage cells, proteins, and DNA by altering their chemical structure.) NingXia Red's capacity to absorb four of the most prevalent free-radicals found in the human body is superior. Specifically, its capacity to absorb the superoxide free radical, the most abundant free radical in the human body, is many times more effective than the closest competitor health drink!

A Great Wolfberry Testimonial

Posted on Feb 19th, 2007 by Miss Emma : Seeker of Truth Miss Emma
It has been six months since I first began drinking 3-4 ounces Ningxia Red daily and five months since Istarted using Young Living Essential Oils to lower my blood sugar. I was diagnosed with diabetes 8 years earlier with a fasting blood sugar over 500 mg/dl and told that there was no cure for diabetes and that I would be on medication for life. Six months ago a doctor told me that I needed to take insulin to lower my reading of 225+ with medications and start blood pressure medications.

This past week, my average blood sugar was in the 120's mg/dl. I even had a fasting blood sugar reading (before eating a meal in the morning) of 91!!! But one day this week before dinner, I had a reading of 85 mg/dl!!! I have NEVER seen a glucose reading that low since I started testing my blood and I have taken NO medications since September 4, 2006!!! ZERO! NONE! No drugs period!

I have been taking several oils internally these last few months, but a week ago, I started using the diabetic blend in the Essential Oils Desk Reference of equal amounts of Thieves, coriander, fennel and dill; massaging this blend on my pancreas and Vita Flex points on my feet 2 times daily. All neuropathy pain is gone from my hands and feet. All candida and acidic symptoms in my body are gone. I continue to walk 3-4 miles daily and my weight is going down. I feel great! I was going to wait until I could announce that I
am totally cured of diabetes, but I just had to share this great news with you now.

The medical profession would say that I am a medical phenomenon.

Some would say that it is a miracle!

I say "Thank You Lord for Gary Young and Young Living's products that You gave me to answer my
prayers for healing and saving my life!"

Karen Hopkins, B.S.

Therapeutic-Grade Essential Massage Oil Supports "Dragon Time"

Posted on Feb 22nd, 2007 by Miss Emma : Seeker of Truth Miss Emma
 

You know how it can be at that particular time of month. Things set you off that normally wouldn't bother you. You're stressed, in pain, bloated and generally unhappy with the state of the world. Some women refer to that as "dragon time."


Good Health - Good Scents has the perfect antidote to dragon time: Dragon Time Massage Oil Item# 3757. Made with a special blend of Therapeutic - Grade Essential Oils, Dragon Time Massage Oil is sure to get you feeling better fast.


Therapeutic - Grade Essential Oils included in this massage oil are fennel, clary sage, ylang ylang, jasmine, lavender and sage oils. Fennel Oil is energizing and balancing and is particularly good for supporting feelings of well-being during the menstrual cycle, as well as stimulating the circulatory and glandular systems of the body.


Clary Sage Therapeutic - Grade Essential Oil contains natural phytoestrogens, making it the perfect oil to use when PMS symptoms strike. It is uplifting, relaxing and will help you have a more stable and healthy attitude when dragon time comes around.


Lavender Oil is one of the most soothing and calming oils around. It's wonderful for helping people get to sleep, and it is also good for the skin. It is useful for cleaning and healing cuts, wounds and other skin irritations.


Sage Oil soothes the senses and supports metabolism. It is beneficial to many parts of the body, including the reproductive system. It is thought to relieve feelings of despair and mental fatigue, and has been used in many cultures to cleanse negative feelings.


In Dragon Time Massage Oil, these Therapeutic - Grade Essential Oils, are combined with coconut, grape seed, sweet almond and olive oil to make a fragrant carrier oil that is great for the skin and for helping you relax.


Dragon Time Massage Oil is intended to be used in partner massage, but you can also massage yourself by gently rubbing the massage oil into your lower back or abdomen area. If all else fails, you can also add about half an ounce to a warm bath to give your whole body comfort and relief.


If Dragon Time Massage Oil alone is not sufficient to tame the beast,  other dragon time products, Dragon Time Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil Blend, Item# 3327, and Dragon Time Bath & Shower Gel, Item# 3739 that should help soothe you and make that time of the month a little easier for you (and those around you) to handle.


Therapeutic - Grade Essential Oils are a wonderful addition to all sorts of products for the body. Not only is this massage oil comforting, it feels good on the skin as its aroma is actually beneficial for improving the symptoms of dragon time. That's better than plain old massage oil any day.
