Biofrequency and Disease compiled by Kathy Kouwe
The effectiveness of essential oils cannot be fully understood without some discussion of frequency.
Frequency is a measurable rate of electrical energy that is constant between any two points. Every living thing has an electrical frequency. Robert O. Becker, M.D., documents the electrical frequency of the human body in his book, The Body Electric. A frequency generator was developed in the early 1920's by Royal Raymond Rife, M.D. He found that by using certain frequencies, he could destroy a cancer cell or virus. He found that these frequencies could prevent the development of disease, and others would destroy disease.
Bjorn Nordenstrom, a radiologist from Stockholm, Sweden, wrote the book "Biologically Closed Circuits". He discovered in the 1980's that by putting an electrode inside a tumor and running a milliamp D.C. (Direct Current) through the electrode, he could dissolve the cancer tumor and stop its growth. He found electropositive and electronegative energy fields in the human body.
Bruce Tainio of Tainio Technology in Cheney, Washington, developed new equipment to measure the biofrequency of humans and foods. He used this biofrequency monitor to determine the relationship between frequency and disease. Measuring in megahertz, it was found that processed / canned food had a zero MHz frequency; fresh produce measured up to 15 MHz frequency; dry herbs from 12-22 MHz; and fresh herbs from 2-27 MHz. Essential oils started at 52 MHz and went as high as 320 MHz, which is the frequency of rose oil. A healthy body typically has a frequency ranging from 62 to 78 MHz, while disease begins at 58 MHz.
Clinical research shows essential oils, having the highest frequency of any natural substance known to man, can create an environment in which microbes, disease, bacteria, virus, fungus, etc., cannot live. Truly, the chemistry and frequencies of essential oils have the ability to help man maintain an optimal health frequency.
It is wonderful to discover that essential oil frequencies are several times greater than frequencies of herbs and foods. For years, research has been conducted on the use of electrical energy to reverse disease. Scientists in the field of natural healing have believed there has to be a more natural way to increase the body's electrical frequency. This led to the research and subsequent discovery of electrical frequencies in essential oils. Patients felt better emotionally when oils were diffused in their rooms. It seemed that, within seconds, these patients were more calm and less anxious with little exposure and inhalation. Certain oils acted within 1-3 minutes; others acted within seconds. It is fascinating to think that an oil applied to the bottom of the feet could travel to the head and take effect within one minute. The more results that have been seen, the more research has been initiated.
Unhealthy Substances Cause Frequency Changes. In one test, the frequency of two individuals, the first a 26 year old male and the second a 24 year old male, was measured at 66 MHz each. The first individual held a cup of coffee (without drinking any), and his frequency dropped to 58 MHz in 3 seconds. He put the coffee down and inhaled an aroma of essential oils. Within 21 seconds, his frequency had returned to 66 MHz. The second individual took a sip of coffee and his frequency dropped to 52 MHz in the same 3 seconds. However, no essential oils were used during the recovery time, and it took 3 days for his frequency to return to its initial 66 MHz. One surprising aspect of this study measured the influence that thoughts have on the body's electrical frequency. Negative thoughts lowered the measured frequency by 12 MHz and positive thoughts raised the measured frequency by 10 MHz. It was also found that prayer and meditation increased the measured frequency levels by 15 MHz.

JOY - Essential Oil
JOY
Joy is an exotic blend that produces a magnetic energy to enhance the frequency of self-love and bring joy to the heart. It inspires romance and may help overcome grief and depression.
CONTAINS:
Rose (Rosa damascena) possesses the highest frequency of the oils. It creates a sense of balance, harmony, and well-being and elevates the mind. Rose promotes healthy skin, reduces scarring, and may help with chronic bronchitis, asthma, tuberculosis, sexual disabilities, frigidity, impotency, skin disease, ulcers, sprains, wrinkles, thrush, and gingivitis. It also promotes healthy skin.
Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) has been used in the Middle East for hundreds of years for acne, boils, cold sores, eczema, insect bites, psoriasis, scabies, smaller (or spider) varicose veins, ulcers, sore throat, thrush, oily complexion, infectious disease, and depression. It balances hormones, calms emotions, and relieves anxiety, stress, and tension.
Mandarin (Citrus reticulata) is appealing, gentle, and promotes happiness. Diffuse or apply topically, especially around meals and before sleep. Because of its sedative and slightly hypnotic properties, it may help with insomnia and is good for stress and irritability. It is antispasmodic, antiseptic, antifungal, supports hepaticduct function, and works as a digestive tonic.
Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) helps bring about a sense of relaxation and may help balance male and female energies. It balances equilibrium and restores confidence and self-love.
Lemon (Citrus limon) has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that have been studied for their effects on immune function. It increases microcirculation, which may improve vision. It may serve as an insect repellent and may be beneficial for the skin. It has been found to promote leukocyte formation, dissolve cellulite, increase lymphatic function, and promote a sense of well-being. Its fragrance is stimulating and invigorating.
Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) assists in balancing hormones. It is antispasmodic, relaxing, anti-inflammatory, anti-infectious, antibacterial, antifungal, and stimulates the liver and pancreas.
Jasmine (Jasminum officinale) is beneficial for dry, greasy, irritated, or sensitive skin. It is used for muscle spasms, sprains, coughs, laryngitis, frigidity, depression, and nervous exhaustion.
Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii) is helpful for all types of skin problems, such as candida, rashes, and scaly and flaky skin. It stimulates new cell growth, moisturizes and speeds the healing process. It is antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral. It is supportive to the nervous and cardiovascular system.
Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) may calm and relieve restlessness, insomnia, and muscle tension. Chamomile helps heal cuts, scrapes, and bruises, and is anti-infectious. It may relieve allergies and expel toxins from the liver. It is used extensively in Europe for the skin.
Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora) is soothing and nourishing to the skin. It has been researched at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah in Ogden, Utah for its inhibition rate against gram positive and gram negative bacterial growth. This oil is soothing, creates elasticity, and helps the skin rid itself of irritations and problems, such as candida. It is anti-infectious, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antiparasitic.
SAFETY DATA: If pregnant or under a doctor's care, consult your physician prior to use. May be irritating to those with sensitive skin. Avoid eye contact. In case of accidental contact, put a few drops of any pure vegetable oil in the eye and call your doctor if necessary. Never use water.
APPLICATIONS:
Diffuse, use as a perfume or cologne, apply over heart, thymus, temples, and wrists. Add to bath water or put a few drops in Aftershave. Dilute with V-6 Mixing Oil or Massage Oil Base for a full-body massage. Put two drops on a wet cloth and put in the dryer for fragrance.
* Rub a drop of Joy oil over the heart and on the bottom of each foot to relieve feelings of frustration or depression.
* Put a drop of Joy oil on the tip of the nose to uplift your mood.

Raindrop Technique and VitaFlex
Raindrop Technique® & Vita Flex Technique
The Raindrop Technique®, developed in the 1980s by naturopath D. Gary Young and a Lakota medicine man named Wallace Black Elk, combines aromatherapy, moist heat and Vita Flex-like massage to combat pain and stress. Fibromyalgia, sciatica and scoliosis are just a few of the ailments that studies have shown to improve with this technique, which works on the basis that bacteria and viruses can build up along the spine.Young Living essential oils such as marjoram, wintergreen and cypress are applied to the skin using a relaxing effleurage, or finger-stroking massage. Seven oils and two blends are used for their anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties to promote the following:
- Reduction of pain and inflammation
- Improvement of circulation and immune function
- Prevention of bacterial and viral causes of spinal misalignment
- Relief of stress
- Release of internalized negative emotions
Vita Flex is a type of reflexology that
developed from the study of Tibetan culture by Stanley Burroughs in the
mid-20th century. The term stands for “vitality through the reflexes”
and involves a specialized, gentle massage that stimulates the nervous
system to deliver the benefits of essential oils throughout the body.
Essential oils are applied to the complex network of reflex points that stimulate a person’s internal systems. During the Vita Flex Reflexology application, energy is released via electrical impulses, which follow the nerve pathways to breaks or clogs in an electrical circuit (usually caused by toxins, damaged tissue or insufficient oxygen). Restoring these pathways can release tension, congestion and imbalances within the body. The interaction between the essential oils and the Vita Flex Reflexology application often creates immediate benefit, as each element enhances the effectiveness of the other.

12 Ways to Feel Better with Essential Oils
12 Ways to Feel Better with Essential Oils
1. Alleviates stress and anxiety. Bring peace and balance to your emotions without negative side effects.
2. Shield your body from bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Studies find that essential oils are effective against MRSA, the methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus superbug. This bacterium has mutated so effectively that it is resistant to most antibiotics, including penicillin.
3. Experience natural pain relief when gently massaged into sore and tired muscles.
4. Potent against Inflammation. Helps alleviate inflammation that causes pain.
5. Support your body’s Immune System naturally
6. Ward off Insomnia. Lavender out performs common drugs in promoting sleep, enhancing relaxation, and decreasing anxiety, according to the 1988 International Journal of Aromatherapy. Apply a few drops topically and sprinkle on a pillowcase to promote restful sleep.
7. Rejuvenate your skin. Essential oils have been used for thousands of years for restoring and improving damaged skin. Beneficial for clogged pores, eczema, acne, dry skin, freckles and stretch marks.
8. Soothe Digestive Disorders. Rub essential oils onto the abdominal area to relieve digestive upsets. Ingest a few drops of therapeutic grade essential oil in water to provide relief for heartburn, gas, indigestion, diarrhea and irritable bowel disease.
9. Support Your Bones and Muscles. 50% of our body weight is muscles and our skeleton has 206 bones. When stressed or overworked, apply to the affected area for strong skeletal and muscular support.
10. Superior Dental and Oral Care. Research has shown that oral bacteria can cause heart disease. More bacteria live on the back of the tongue than any other part of the body, and proper cleaning and flossing can do much more than protect the teeth. Essential oils in Young Living mouthwash and toothpaste help kill microbes that cause tooth decay.
11. Increase Your Mental Clarity. Exciting clinical studies are proving that the inhalation of peppermint oil daily increases students test scores by 28%. Keep your edge in the workplace by breathing Peppermint during work.
12. Provides affordable safe alternatives to household cleaners. Replace chemical cleaners with the powerful antimicrobial activities of essential oils

Omega 3 with Vitamin D3
The Ultimate Combination of Sea and Sun in Every Capsule.
Research shows that most people are deficient in omega-3 fatty acids as well as vitamin D, which can significantly affect long-term health.
For centuries, people got enough omega-3s through their diets. But with the lack of natural grazing, livestock now provides little or no omega-3. Additionally, grains, soybeans and other seed oils dominate our food supply, resulting in too much omega-6 in our bodies. Even farm-raised fish are often grain fed and contribute more omega-6 than omega-3.
Although omega-6 is important, it competes with omega-3 for space in our cells. Instead of a balance between the two, which is optimal for a healthy immune system, our current diets have created a ratio that ranges as high as 30:1 omega-6 to omega-3. This imbalance has given rise to an unhealthy inflammatory response, which is a key contributor to many of the health concerns in our diet. By contrast, our ancestors maintained a 1:1 ratio.
Doctors, scientists and nutritionists agree that everyone, but especially those concerned with cardiovascular and cognitive health, could benefit from omega-3 and vitamin D.

Avoid these foods that cause allergies, asthma, cancer.
Do you know about the introduction of genetically engineering, growth hormones, and insecticides to our food supply? Have you dragged your feet when it comes to purchasing organic food, just not sure it was worth the price? Last week I talked about the importance of eating unprocessed foods. Today I’ll go a step further.
Do you or your children or any of the people around you suffer from food allergies, or asthma, or cancer? Does it seem to you that the incidence of these diseases is out of proportion to how things were just a generation ago? What is going on? Has something fundamentally changed? The answer is yes. In the US, foods most of us eat (milk and all dairy products, meat, corn and others) have been modified by the introduction of genetically engineered proteins to enhance food production and resistance to crop diseases. And the effect it is having on the population is widespread and devastating.
An unlikely whistle blower - Robyn O'Brien
No one has brought home a more succinct and compelling message about this issue than Robyn O’Brien. She was a food industry analyst with a Type A no nonsense personality, prior to giving birth to 4 children in 5 years. Totally disinterested in what was in our food supply, she says she once believed that if it was on the grocery shelves, it was safe. “Don’t tell me what to eat, and don’t tell me what to feed my kids”. With 4 picky eaters, limited time and on a limited budget she did her best and thought that was enough, until her youngest child had a sudden and very scary allergic reaction to the family breakfast of Eggo waffles, yogurt and scrambled eggs. The pediatrician told her that these were 3 of the top allergen foods. She was dumbfounded. How could a child be allergic to food? Was there something in food today that didn’t used to be there? An allergy is when the body sees food protein as foreign and launches an inflammatory response against the ‘invader’. She started researching and found out that our food is NOT the same as it was 20 years ago.
So, what has changed?
In the 1990s U.S. food industry scientists introduced genetically engineered proteins into foods to maximize yield and profits. As a food industry analyst Robyn understood the economics. It all made perfect sense. BUT, no human trials were conducted and whereas governments worldwide have decided to prohibit the use of these genetically engineered foods, the US went ahead. Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and all 27 European countries have prohibited the use of genetically engineered foods.
Milk allergies are the most common. In 1994 scientists developed a new protein, a synthetic growth hormone that is injected into cows to produce more milk. Although milk production increases, the cows tend to be sicker and more lame than other cows, so the use of antibiotics was increased to ward off infections. You’ve no doubt heard of this issue. Increased hormone levels in our foods is also now linked to breast, prostate and colon cancer. And the US has the highest cancer rates in the world.
Robyn also talks about the changes made to corn and soy, two foods that are in our processed foods, and the foods fed to beef cattle.
Why is organic food so expensive?
Tax payer resources are subsidizing these genetically engineered crops while organic farmers are being charged fees for their practices, and are given no assistance for marketing or promotion (unlike the dairy and meat industries).

Robyn was a speaker at a recent 2011 TED conference. She describes how and why she has become food’s Erin Brockovich. Listen to her short talk asap. In her book, The Unhealthy Truth Robyn features recipes and an action plan for weaning your family off of these dangerous ingredients one step at a time.

Do you know about the introduction of genetically engineering, growth hormones, and insecticides to our food supply? Have you dragged your feet when it comes to purchasing organic food, just not sure it was worth the price? Last week I talked about the importance of eating unprocessed foods. Today I’ll go a step further.
Do you or your children or any of the people around you suffer from food allergies, or asthma, or cancer? Does it seem to you that the incidence of these diseases is out of proportion to how things were just a generation ago? What is going on? Has something fundamentally changed? The answer is yes. In the US, foods most of us eat (milk and all dairy products, meat, corn and others) have been modified by the introduction of genetically engineered proteins to enhance food production and resistance to crop diseases. And the effect it is having on the population is widespread and devastating.
An unlikely whistle blower - Robyn O'Brien
No one has brought home a more succinct and compelling message about this issue than Robyn O’Brien. She was a food industry analyst with a Type A no nonsense personality, prior to giving birth to 4 children in 5 years. Totally disinterested in what was in our food supply, she says she once believed that if it was on the grocery shelves, it was safe. “Don’t tell me what to eat, and don’t tell me what to feed my kids”. With 4 picky eaters, limited time and on a limited budget she did her best and thought that was enough, until her youngest child had a sudden and very scary allergic reaction to the family breakfast of Eggo waffles, yogurt and scrambled eggs. The pediatrician told her that these were 3 of the top allergen foods. She was dumbfounded. How could a child be allergic to food? Was there something in food today that didn’t used to be there? An allergy is when the body sees food protein as foreign and launches an inflammatory response against the ‘invader’. She started researching and found out that our food is NOT the same as it was 20 years ago.
So, what has changed?
In the 1990s U.S. food industry scientists introduced genetically engineered proteins into foods to maximize yield and profits. As a food industry analyst Robyn understood the economics. It all made perfect sense. BUT, no human trials were conducted and whereas governments worldwide have decided to prohibit the use of these genetically engineered foods, the US went ahead. Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and all 27 European countries have prohibited the use of genetically engineered foods.
Milk allergies are the most common. In 1994 scientists developed a new protein, a synthetic growth hormone that is injected into cows to produce more milk. Although milk production increases, the cows tend to be sicker and more lame than other cows, so the use of antibiotics was increased to ward off infections. You’ve no doubt heard of this issue. Increased hormone levels in our foods is also now linked to breast, prostate and colon cancer. And the US has the highest cancer rates in the world.
Robyn also talks about the changes made to corn and soy, two foods that are in our processed foods, and the foods fed to beef cattle.
Why is organic food so expensive?
Tax payer resources are subsidizing these genetically engineered crops while organic farmers are being charged fees for their practices, and are given no assistance for marketing or promotion (unlike the dairy and meat industries).

Robyn was a speaker at a recent 2011 TED conference. She describes how and why she has become food’s Erin Brockovich. Listen to her short talk asap. In her book, The Unhealthy Truth Robyn features recipes and an action plan for weaning your family off of these dangerous ingredients one step at a time.

Whole Grains
Below you will find an article on Whole Grain vs White Refined. If you have read my articles before, you know how I feel about white's - white flour, white sugar, white rice, white potatoes. They all raise the blood sugar levels in your body and will cause you to gain weight, in addition to all the other issues they cause. Please read my friend, Kim Watson's article on this topic.
It really does matter. Care for yourself. And your body will respond positively to you.

White vs Whole Wheat – It Matters
Eating whole wheat bread and whole grain cereals was one of the first things I remember hearing about, back in the early 1970s when the health food mindset emerged into mainstream consciousness. Pretty much everyone now is aware that they should be choosing whole grains over processed. Do you remember why?
As the saying goes, the whiter the bread, the sooner you’re dead… A frequently referenced study in the UK journal Lancet showed that dogs fed exclusively on white bread died of malnutrition within two months. Dogs similarly fed only bread made with stone-ground, whole-wheat flour lived indefinitely in good health. White flour has been treated with chemical bleach. Think Clorox. This leaves a toxic residue you don’t want in your system. There is a long list of chemicals routinely added to breads in the grocery store to extend shelf life. And a longer list of essential nutrients are removed with the bran and germ, and destroyed through bleaching and high heat of the milling process. Then, a very few are added back so that the breads can then be called ‘enriched’! For heaven’s sake, don’t believe that one .
Avoid chronic disease
Over the years, many studies have found that both humans and animals thrive on whole grains and become sick on a diet of refined grains. A Minnesota study identified the components in whole grains that protect against chronic disease. These include compounds like fiber and starch that improve the gut environment, trace minerals that act as antioxidants, phytosterols that support the hormonal system, and agents that bind carcinogens and modulate blood sugar affects.
Keep your bowels regular and healthy
No one likes to talk about it, but being constipated is very uncomfortable. You can improve the health and regularity of your bowels by sticking to whole grains, along with eating fresh fruits and vegetables. The fiber in the grains act like a broom, keeping your gut clean. As an experiment, try eating only whole grains and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables for a week, and stay away from processed foods. Say goodbye to laxatives! Studies also show that eating a whole grain diet can cause the symptoms of diverticulosis to disappear.
Reduce risk of heart disease
A number of studies have shown a reduced incidence of heart disease in women who eat whole grains, as well as better waist-to-hip ratios and lower cholesterol levels.
Normalize blood sugar levels
Since people with diabetes who replace refined foods with whole grain high fiber foods can greatly improve their blood sugar levels and even get off of their insulin, it makes sense that the rest of us can simply keep ourselves on track by doing the same. Why ask for trouble?
Eating whole grains
Pick brown rice every time for stir fries, casseroles, and pilafs. It takes longer to cook but tastes richer and nuttier.
Experiment with quinoa and barley too. Recipes ideas? Click here, and here.
Switch to whole grain pasta today. If you want to ease into it, chose thin spaghetti or angel hair spaghetti to start. But the rigatoni, linguine, penne and bow ties are all great.
Choose whole wheat bread every time. And if you can find fresh baked from a real bakery using their own fresh ingredients, all the better.
Look for whole grain crackers. I love Ak-mak, Ryvita and Wasa crackers topped with avocado and tomato, or cheese or peanut butter for a snack.
Insist on whole grain breakfast cereals. Kashi is a great brand. In our house we routinely have homemade granola and brown rice in our breakfast bowls. Use regular oatmeal, not the quick oats.
Use whole wheat bread crumbs when you cook. I save the ends of my bread loaves and freeze them for this purpose.
Some people seem to believe it is a big sacrifice to eat whole grains. I’m never sure why. The fact is that the fresh whole grain bread tastes better, whole grain pasta and rice satisfy longer, and the cereals are REAL food that will get you through until lunch time (not sugary pseudo-food). When I started eating a whole grain-based diet free of processed foods, I found I could eat more, feel less hungry and stay slim. No downside! What are you waiting for?

Are you addicted to Sugar?
Below is an article written by a Business Partner of mine. She writes weekly newsletters on wellness. The link to her web page is at the bottom. Are YOU addicted to sugar? I no longer am. Enjoy!

Reining in your Sweet Tooth
by Kim Watson
There is a buzz about sugar going on right now. Research is showing that sugar may be a BIG public health problem. It isn't just fat intake and high cholesterol levels that are the only culprits in the soaring rates of chronic disease today.
Are you a food label reader? Take a look. Sugar and high fructose corn syrup can be found in just about every processed food in the grocery store and fast food restaurant - deli meats, condiments, peanut butter, breads, cereals, frozen waffles, chips, baby foods, instant coffees, baked beans, dairy products, fruit juices, and, of course, in all the foods we expect to be sweet – jam, cookies, cakes, sodas, candy, ice creams etc.
The result? Sugar addiction across the population. Why are so many children resistant to healthy whole foods like vegetables and fruits? They are being weaned onto processed foods and their palettes are attuned and addicted to the sugars and chemical “flavor enhancers” they’ve been fed from the start. And even if you have been vigilant for years in steering clear of ‘unhealthy’ foods, many of the organic processed foods are still full of sugar.
Many of us admit to a ‘sweet tooth’. Is that a problem? Well, for sure, sugar isn’t helping your health. And there is a growing incidence of what the medical industry calls ‘metabolic syndrome’, a name for a group of risk factors that occur together and increase the risk for coronary artery disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Two of the most important risk factors are carrying extra weight around the middle, and insulin resistance, where the body can’t process insulin effectively and blood sugar levels rise. When blood sugar levels rise it affects kidney function and raises the level of triglycerides. This all points to chronic disease.
If you want more depth information I encourage you to read a fascinating NY Times article called ‘Is Sugar Toxic?’ and then watch ‘Sugar: The Bitter Truth’ on You Tube, a talk given by Robert H Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology on the damage caused by sugary foods.
Would you like to be free of your addiction to sweets?
Like any other addiction it takes persistence and effort. Here are some suggestions to help you along the way:
Don’t drink soft drinks of any kind. This is a no brainer. Just don’t, not even in moderation.
Avoid all artificial sweeteners – they increase your appetite, increase your sugar cravings, inhibit and decrease your fat metabolism. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/02/080210183902.htm
Don’t buy junk food. Don’t have it in your home. You won’t eat it if it isn’t handy
Eat a piece of fruit when you have a sugar craving. Rather than giving a rush of energy, fruit gives a steady supply of glucose to your blood stream. This is a great bridge as you adjust to lower sugar intake.
Exercise. Along with diet, exercise yields great benefits – fitness and stable blood sugar levels.
Break the emotional association. Does sugar = happiness to you? If you associate it with love, reward, romance, holidays and good times, start separating the emotion from the food. Substitute flowers or a gift for the candy. Don’t reward children with food!
Taper off. This isn’t a race. Cut down on how much sugar you are eating with smaller portions or going for longer periods without it. Once you overcome the addiction, your body won’t ask for it. Really!
Don’t fall off the wagon. If you eat the sugary foods at a party or gathering, then the cravings begin all over again. Break the habit once. It's easier that way.
Eat low glycemic foods. Whole foods and whole grains don’t spike your blood sugar.
I’m a big believer in taking small steps. Make your goal and move toward it. Your body will thank you in many ways!

Spring is Coming!
Spring is coming and some may have spent a few too many hours on the couch this winter. You may want to review the 'Steps to Healthier Living' to get yourself ready for a more active spring and summer. One that might include gardening, and walking, maybe even some bike riding. Check the Index list at the side here for the Steps.

Not sleeping well?
There are many people who don't get a good nights sleep. Many reach for over the counter drugs. Here are some testimonies from several people who tried essential oils to help them sleep better. Read below. If you like what you read, and want to try them for yourself or someone else you know, contact me at solehaven@me.com and I will get the oil(s) ordered for you. I order on the 1st of every month.
Testimonies:
"A friend suggested that I try using the essential oil of valerian for sleep, so I decided to do a little research; the National Institutes of Health has a website devoted to Valerian for Insomnia and Sleep Disorders. I was amazed how much clinical investigation there was on the properties of this oil. What I read about valerian was that it was very highly regarded as an all-natural sedative. What I learned about valerian from using it was that it is calming, relaxing, balancing, and a sleep aid. Just an aside, Valerian Root is generally regarded as safe (GRAS) for ingestion by the FDA. I would make sure the oil you use is therapeutic grade. " John Rosenberger, Moses Lake, Washington
It is estimated that Americans spend $14 Billion dollars, every year, on our Sleep Disorders!
58% of adults experience symptoms of insomnia a few nights or more per week
35% of adults report at least one symptom of insomnia every night or almost every night
For those looking for a safe, effective, and cost-effective alternative, Young Living's beautiful essential oils stand alone.
Try some oils tonight before you go to sleep. You may be pleasantly surprised!
Using Essential Oil of Cedarwood on your feet before you go to bed and you may sleep like a baby! It stimulates the pineal gland which releases natural Melatonin. I feel this is also good for the brain since Cedarwood is high in sesquiterpenes [brain food].
"I have also used Alkalime and Lavender for sleep....love it." - Jackie K., Hemphill, Texas
"When my sister Linda died last year, I found myself facing insomnia for the first time in my life. I'd go to bed as normal but would have trouble even getting 2 hours sleep a night. I had heard that Valerian could be good for insomnia, so I ordered a bottle from Young Living. I'd put a few drops under my tongue and then - because it didn't smell great - I put a drop of Lavender on the tip of my nose which masked the smell. It was a wonder! I was sleeping again and never was groggy in the morning. The National Institutes of Health has a website devoted to Valerian for Insomnia and Sleep Disorders. Just as an aside, I'm a big fan of 19th century Russian literature and one of my favorite writers is Anton Chekhov, who was actually a country doctor as well as a writer. In one of his plays, The Sea Gull, the doctor in the play named Dorn asks his patient if he'd like some Valerian drops for his insomnia. So this has been a traditional remedy. Valerian Root is generally regarded as safe (GRAS) for ingestion by the FDA. I would just make sure the oil ingested is therapeutic grade. I highly recommend the Valerian/Lavender combo for insomnia." Kathryn Streletzky
"I put my daughter to sleep every night with a story and a kiss. Recently, I have added some reflexology techniques and the rubbing of Peace and Calming essential oils to the bottom of her feet, and some in her palms to smell deeply. The two of us become so relaxed and sleepy that we had to change our nightly ritual to stories first and oils last. She sleeps so soundly her blankets stay perfectly neat until she wakes up in the morning. Wonderful!" Stacy Allen
"Last year I was having problems with sleeping at night so I decided I would try the Valor oil to see if it would help me out. I tried putting 2 drops on the bottom of both feet and then with the oil on my hands, I would cup them in front of my mouth and nose and take 6-8 deep breaths. Since I started with this routine I have been getting a full night's sleep and waking up very refreshed. My husband has been using it also and is sleeping better with a lot less snoring." Anne Totzke
Suggested Young Living Oils for Sleep:
Valor
Lavender
Dream Catcher (For Nightmares)
Peace & Calming
Valerian (Strong)
Do you want to sleep better and wake ready to go in the morning?

She sleeps so soundly her blankets stay perfectly neat until she wakes up in the morning. Wonderful!" Stacy Allen
"Last year I was having problems with sleeping at night so I decided I would try the Valor oil to see if it would help me out. I tried putting 2 drops on the bottom of both feet and then with the oil on my hands, I would cup them in front of my mouth and nose and take 6-8 deep breaths. Since I started with this routine I have been getting a full night's sleep and waking up very refreshed. My husband has been using it also and is sleeping better with a lot less snoring." Anne Totzke
Suggested Young Living Oils for Sleep:

Peace & Calming Essential Oil Blend
Peace and Calming® Oil Blend is one of the basic oils that families all around the world use all day long to maintain vibrant health!
Peace and Calming® Oil Blend
Containing tangerine, ylang ylang, blue tansy, orange and patchouli, this blend is a must for anyone experiencing stress in their life. Peace & Calming contains properties that relax the mind and calm the body. Diffusing it into your air is a favorite for many people. To calm hyperactive children on a road trip, mix Peace and Calming and water and spray into the car. For a good night sleep, rub along your spine and on the bottom of your feet. A few drops under the nostrils will also help with snoring.
Contains:
Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annuum) may help cleanse the liver and calm the lymphatic system, helping one to overcome anger and negative emotions promoting a feeling of self-control. It contains sesquiterpenes that can stimulate the pineal gland, which secretes the hormone melatonin, a hormone that enhances deep sleep.
Patchouly (Pogostemon cablin) was used in India in ancient times as a trade commodity because of its earthy, musty fragrance and its ability to mask many different odors. Its fragrance reestablishes equilibrium while simultaneously quieting emotion and energizing the mind.
Tangerine (Citrus nobilis) contains esters and aldehydes that are sedating and calming, helping with anxiety and nervousness.
Orange (Citrus aurantium) was believed to bring joy, peace, and happiness to those who possessed it. It is elevating to the mind and body.
Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) helps bring about a sense of relaxation and may help balance male and female energies. It balances equilibrium and inspires confidence and self-love.
SAFETY DATA: If pregnant or under a doctor's care, consult your physician prior to use. May be irritating to those with sensitive skin. Avoid eye contact. In case of accidental contact, put a few drops of any pure vegetable oil in the eye and call your doctor if necessary. Never use water.
APPLICATIONS: Diffuse, wear as a perfume, apply on bottom of the feet, on wrists, and outside of ears. Put in bath water. Dilute with V-6 Mixing Oil or Massage Oil Base for a full-body massage.
Rub 1-2 drops of Peace and Calming® oil on the bottom of the feet and on the shoulders before bedtime to get good quality sleep.
Diffuse Peace and Calming® oil in the room to calm overactive or hard to manage children.
Mix Peace and Calming® oil with massage oil for a relaxing massage.
Put Peace and Calming® oil mixed with Bath Gel Base in warm water for a relaxing bath.
To help stop nocturnal teeth grinding, diffuse Peace and Calming® oil while sleeping.
COMPANION OILS: Lavender (for insomnia) and chamomile (for calming).
FRAGRANT INFLUENCE: A feeling of calming and emotional well-being.
This gentle fragrance is specifically designed for diffusing. It promotes relaxation and a deep sense of peace, helping to dampen tensions and uplift spirits. When massaged on the bottom of the feet, it can be a wonderful prelude to a peaceful night's rest. It may calm overactive and hard-to-manage children. The oils in this blend have historically been used to help reduce depression, anxiety, stress, and insomnia. This blend along with Mineral Essence may be a healthy alternative to Ritalin.

Understanding Grades of Essential Oils
The Essential oils in Young Living's collection are life-enhancing gifts from the plant kingdom, revered for centuries for their restorative properties to body, mind, and spirit.
Essential Oil Basics
Essential oils are the highly concentrated, volatile, aromatic essences of plants. Essential oils contain hundreds of organic constituents, including hormones, vitamins and other natural elements that work on many levels. They are 75 to 100 times more concentrated than the oils in dried herbs.
All the countries of the world provide essential oils, making aromatherapy a truly global therapy, and information on the specific properties of each essential oil can be found in any one of the hundreds of books published worldwide on the topic.
Understanding the Grades of Oils
There are significant differences between synthetic fragrance oils and pure essential oils. All Young Living Essential Oils are pure. There are 4 grades of essential oils.
Grade A oils are pure therapeutic quality and are usually made from organically grown plants, and are distilled at the proper temperatures.
Grade B oils are food grade, they may contain synthetics, pesticides, fertilizers, extenders, or carrier oils.
Grade C are perfume grade and may contain the same type of adulterating chemicals as food grade oils. They usually contain solvents which are used to gain a higher yield of oil per harvest. Solvents are not healthy.
Floral Water is a byproduct of the distillation process, a very high quality, IF it comes from a Grade A distillation process. Accordingly, it is a low quality if it comes from poor quality raw materials and/or poor distillations processes.
Synthetic fragrance oils may duplicate the smell of the pure botanical, but the complex chemical components of each essential oil created in nature determine its true benefits. In other words, synthetic fragrance oils will not have the medicinal properties; they are NOT suitable for aromatherapy.
Gems of Nature
Pure essential oils, like precious jewelry or fine wine, are gems of nature -- the quintessential life force of aromatic plants, sometimes called the "soul" of the plant. People who truly appreciate the qualities of pure essential oils consider each drop a precious jewel to be savored, enjoyed and protected.
Essential oils are absorbed into the fluid surrounding the cells beneath the skin's surface for a variety of effects including deep cleansing, nourishing, rejuvenating and balancing. Essential oils also diffuse into the air to provide olfactory benefits.
I hope that you enjoy this information, and find it useful. If you have any oils that you would like to have for your personal use, contact me.

Valor - An Essential Oil blend
Valor (oil blend)
When applied to the feet, spine and neck, this blend of spruce, blue tansy, rosewood and frankincense supports the muscular skeletal system of the body. Valor has gained respect from chiropractors, who find it beneficial when applied on a client before and after an adjustment. Valor has been known to help those who suffer from stage fright, anxiety, and extreme tension, by rubbing few drops onto the hands and breathing deeply. To create a deeper sleep, rub on the bottoms of your feet before bed.
12 Ways to Feel Better with Essential Oils
1. Alleviates stress and anxiety. Bring peace and balance to your emotions without negative side effects.
2. Shield your body from bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Studies find that essential oils are effective against MRSA, the methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus superbug. This bacterium has mutated so effectively that it is resistant to most antibiotics, including penicillin.
3. Experience natural pain relief when gently massaged into sore and tired muscles.
4. Potent against Inflammation. Helps alleviate inflammation that causes pain.
5. Support your body’s Immune System naturally
6. Ward off Insomnia. Lavender out performs common drugs in promoting sleep, enhancing relaxation, and decreasing anxiety, according to the 1988 International Journal of Aromatherapy. Apply a few drops topically and sprinkle on a pillowcase to promote restful sleep.
7. Rejuvenate your skin. Essential oils have been used for thousands of years for restoring and improving damaged skin. Beneficial for clogged pores, eczema, acne, dry skin, freckles and stretch marks.
8. Soothe Digestive Disorders. Rub essential oils onto the abdominal area to relieve digestive upsets. Ingest a few drops of therapeutic grade essential oil in water to provide relief for heartburn, gas, indigestion, diarrhea and irritable bowel disease.
9. Support Your Bones and Muscles. 50% of our body weight is muscles and our skeleton has 206 bones. When stressed or overworked, apply to the affected area for strong skeletal and muscular support.
10. Superior Dental and Oral Care. Research has shown that oral bacteria can cause heart disease. More bacteria live on the back of the tongue than any other part of the body, and proper cleaning and flossing can do much more than protect the teeth. Essential oils in Young Living mouthwash and toothpaste help kill microbes that cause tooth decay.
11. Increase Your Mental Clarity. Exciting clinical studies are proving that the inhalation of peppermint oil daily increases students test scores by 28%. Keep your edge in the workplace by breathing Peppermint during work.
12. Provides affordable safe alternatives to household cleaners. Replace chemical cleaners with the powerful antimicrobial activities of essential oils
Ask me about Young Living Essential Oils. I can order you selected oils that you could use daily.
When doing a Reflexology appointment, I always apply Living Essential Oils to your feet.

Steps to Healthier Living 9
Step 9
Sleep. Simple right? Not so much. We have many things in our life that distract us from getting the proper amount of sleep.
8 Hours a night should be minimal. 8 - 10 optimal. The time you sleep is also important. 10:00p.m. should be the latest you go to bed or close to 10 as you can get.
Taking time in the day to lay flat on the floor and put your feet up on the couch or ottoman for 20 minutes is also a good practice.
Getting the right amount of sleep has been shown to help reduce your weight. Weight gain can be related to too little sleep.
Get your Zzzzz's!
