*** DISCLAIMER ***

▪ Essential oils are chemically complex. A single oil may have 80-300 different constituents.

▪ Constituents can be affected by the part of the plant used, soil condition, fertilizer (organic or chemical), geographical region, climate, altitude, harvest season & methods, and distillation process.

▪ Lemon is also known for its ability to clean toxins from the any part of the body. That includes the hair and scalp, digestive system and the kidneys, and much more!

▪ What Part of the Plant is Used? Cold-pressed from lemon rinds

▪ What is the ORAC Value? 660 µTE/100g

▪ Why know about this number? ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It tells you the antioxidant capacity of a food item. Antioxidants have shown to reduce the risk of age related conditions and cancer! This was developed by the USDA researchers.

Lemon Essential Oil

LEMON’S LINK TO WEIGHT MANAGEMENT?

▪ The citrus oils literally digest the petrochemicals right where they are.

▪ The lemon oil literally digested the Styrofoam into nothingness. The Styrofoam doesn’t exist anymore and so it left a hole in the cup.

▪ Limonene found in citrus oils is known to reverse tumors. Where did the tumor go? The limonene literally digested the tumor into nothingness. It shrunk and shrunk until it didn’t exist anymore. It didn’t break off and travel to the bloodstream. It didn’t make its way to the colon to be eliminated. It just doesn’t exist anymore!

▪ Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials because lemons increase the rate of urination in the body. Toxins are, therefore, released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy.

HYDRATION IS KEY▪ When your body is dehydrated, or deeply

dehydrated (adrenal fatigue) it can’t perform all of it’s proper functions, which leads to toxic buildup, stress, constipation, and the list goes on.

▪ Your adrenals are the two small glands that sit on top of your kidneys which, along with your thyroid, create energy.

▪ They also secrete important hormones, including aldosterone. Aldosterone is a hormone secreted by your adrenals that regulates water levels and the concentration of minerals, like sodium, in your body, helping you stay hydrated.

▪ Your adrenals are also responsible for regulating your stress response.

▪ So, the bottom line is that you really want to maintain a balanced and proper state of dehydration.

HOW TO USE ▪ Dietary: Dilute 1 drop with 1 drop of V-

6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other vegetable oil (e.g., virgin coconut, olive, or almond). Put in a capsule and take up to 3 times daily or as needed.

▪ Topical: Dilute 1 drop with 1 drop of V-6 or other vegetable oil and apply 2–4 drops to desired area, chakras, and Vita Flex points.

▪ Aromatic: Diffuse up to 30 minutes 3 times daily.

Avoid direct sunlight/UV rays for up to 12 hours after applying lemon.

▪ Peppermint is harvested when the field's overall appearance goes from light to dark green. The growers make sure the plant has just started to bloom before the peppermint is cut, and then water is carefully measured prior to distillation to ensure the most potent constituents are steam-extracted.

▪ Some companies may try to substitute a species within the family and try to sell it for therapeutic use! So make sure you know your source and you are purchasing the right genus species!

▪ What is the ORAC Value? 37,300 µTE/100g

▪ Why know about this number? ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It tells you the antioxidant capacity of a food item. Antioxidants have shown to reduce the risk of age related conditions and cancer! This was developed by the USDA researchers.

Peppermint Essential Oil

PEPPERMINT’S LINK TO WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

▪ Alan Hirsch, M.D., studied peppermint's ability to directly affect the brain's satiety center (the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus) which triggers a sensation of fullness after meals.▪ He used fragrances, including peppermint, to trigger significant

weight losses in a large group of patients who had previously been unsuccessful in any type of weight-management program. During the course of the six-month study involving over 3,000 people, the average weight loss exceeded 30 pounds.

▪ Jean Valnet, M.D., studied Peppermint's effect on the liver and respiratory systems. Other scientists have also researched Peppermint's role in improving taste and smell when inhaled.

▪ Bryan Raudenbush. Assoc. Professor of Psychology at Weeling Jesuit University. Duplicated Dr. Hirsch’s study, during the week studied 40 people sniffed peppermint every 2 hours; they consumed an average of 1,800 fewer calories.

PEPPERMINT & EXERCISE▪ Exercise – increased athletic performance in running ability,

strength & fitness

▪ Runners finished the 400-meter dash faster using peppermint oil inhalation.

▪ Exercisers completed more pushups (performed until exhaustion) after peppermint oil inhalation.

▪ Dr. Bryan Raudenbush and his research group of Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia found that peppermint oil and vapor can enhance overall athletic performance

▪ Their study evaluated hunger levels during peppermint inhalation vs. non-inhalation, in addition to actual food consumption and dietary evaluation (e.g., fat intake, caloric intake, vitamin and mineral intake, etc.) over a period of two weeks.

▪ Results indicate participants who were exposed to peppermint consumed nearly 3000 fewer total calories from saturated fat, total fat, and sugar each week. That's about 23% less calories based on 1800 calories/day diet for 7 days. Participants also rated their hunger level significantly lower during peppermint inhalation.

▪ Athletic Performance - JOURNAL OF SPORT & EXERCISE PSYCHOLOGY, 2001, vol. 23, pp. 156-160

Decrease in Fatigue by 25 %

Decrease in Perceived Temporal Workload by 22 %

Increase in Vigor by 13 %

HOW TO USE▪ Apply several drops (2-4) on location,

abdomen and temples

▪ Apply to chakras/vitaflex points

▪ Directly inhale

▪ Diffuse, or

▪ May be used as a dietary supplement. Simply add to your water (hot or cold).

Watch your eyes or cuts when using peppermint oil!

Place a pure vegetable oil on location if irritation or stinging occurs.

Do not use water! It will worsen the symptoms!

It is famous for its ability to clean toxins from the any part of the body; detox the lymphatic system, eliminate excess fluids, burn fat and protect against cancer!

The oil comes from cold pressing the rind of the fruit.

What is the ORAC Value? 22,600 µTE/100g

Why know about this number? ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It tells you the antioxidant capacity of a food item. Antioxidants have shown to reduce the risk of age related conditions and cancer! This was developed by the USDA researchers. For instance: Oranges = 750; Clove = 1,078,700. Wow! The number for clove is NOT a typo!

Grapefruit Essential Oil

GRAPEFRUIT’S LINK TO WEIGHT MANAGEMENT▪ Works primarily in the lymphatic system which

also is part of the cardiovascular systems of our body. More than two-thirds of the body's immune system is located in the intestines. And since it takes care of both physical and mental toxins, it acts as our physical and mental healing system.

▪ Obesity, including lumpy cellulite, is one of the many conditions that results from a congested lymphatic system, which forms a large part of the body's natural immunological defenses. Other diseases include multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and cancer, the ultimate defense against toxins.

▪ Obesity and cancer are both linked to severe lymph congestion, and over the years, more and more studies have been cropping up strengthening the correlation between the two diseases.

▪ University of Geneva, found a connection between obesity and tumors in the breast. The sample consisted of women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in Geneva between 2003 and 2005. The scientists found that the women who were obese were more likely to suffer from Stage III and Stage IV tumors with an odds ratio of 1.8. In other words, they were 180 percent more likely to develop serious breast cancer than the women who were not overweight.

▪ Also, the obese women in the sample were 510 percent more likely to have cancerous lymph nodes, suggesting that the cancer may have spread to other parts of their bodies.

▪ Other researchers suspect that the hormone leptin could be a 'missing link' between obesity and cancer. Leptin, produced in fat cells in adipose tissue, is also known as the satiety hormone, which tells an individual when to stop eating. But this is not all that leptin does. This hormone is also involved in many other biological processes in the breast, from reproduction and lactation to cell differentiation and cell proliferation. When leptin or its receptors malfunction, they are likely to promote the development of breast tumors, some scientists say.

TESTIMONIES

I have lost several inches off my belly just by drinking water with lemon oil and giving up all over beverages. These changes happened in less than two months. What I did was add 10 drops of lemon oil to a quart sized mason jar and I drank 3-4 of these jars daily. I used to drink a lot of sweetened tea and a lot of diet sodas. I gave those up and only drank the water with lemon oil.

“I drink 60ml of NingXia Red each morning, mixed 50/50 with water to make it even more alkalizing to the body. Into that juice, I add my “Oh my gosh!!!” mix of oils, which is 2 drops each of: Tangerine, Lemon, Peppermint and Ocotea. I’ve had many people report to me that NingXia Red has reduced their sugar cravings, and they’ve noticed some gentle weight loss with it (perhaps due to consuming less sweets). It also contains many wonderful vitamins and minerals, so it’s a great all-over tonic to the body.”

Artemis

“On the second day of applying the Citrus Fresh and Ledum oil and taking the capsules with Grapefruit oil, I noticed a tightening around my “baby tummy” (this arrived after four children) and a general smoothness over my hips. My children and husband noticed a difference and I have a feeling of general well being.”

Francesca

“I sniff Peppermint oil before meals. It’s been studied for its effects as an appetite suppressant – one study took people who couldn’t lose weight through any other means. They were given peppermint oil to sniff before meals. What’s amazing is that it worked so well that some people had to be taken off the study because they were losing too much weight!!!”

“I have shed 16kg (35 pounds) and am moving towards my ideal weight. I drink filtered water and always add some Young Living Oils. Prior to adding oils, I hardly drank any water, but now I can easily drink at least one liter per day. My favorites are peppermint (1 drop) plus Citrus Fresh (2 drops) or lemon and grapefruit or Slique Essence.”

“My dearest friend, Debbie Rogers, suffered with diabetes. Although she could control it mainly with diet and exercise she also, at times, would have to take some form of medication to lower her sugar levels. After beginning to use the essential oils and adding NingXia Red to her daily diet, she soon discovered that she no longer suffers from any symptoms of diabetes. She has also began to loose the excess weight and has experienced an increase in energy and an over all sense of well being. Debbie's favorite Young Living products are: NingXia Red, Frankincense, lavender and peppermint. She also uses Thieves, Peace & Calming, Valor and Purification.”
