Currently I am testing out a new – to me – essential oil blend which is supposed to revitalise, uplifting, strengthening, and restore mental alertness. When it comes to the typical afternoon slump I tend to reach for the coffee, so I thought I would give this blend a try. Don’t get me wrong, I love my coffee, but there is a difference between enjoying coffee, especialy if you are sipping a delicious brew from an exquisite coffee bean, and having to reach for the coffee just to make it through the day.

I got the new blend in the post yesterday, a bit of a sluggish Monday morning and decided to try it out straight away. Well, I was pleasantly surprised – it did work beautifully. Currently I have it on me as well, and indeed no need for coffee. I find it is both energizing as well as calming … the energy lift without any hyper adrenaline affect. I suppose the addition of the balsam Fir gives it this tranquil element of relaxed alertness.

As I am taking another sniff right now it has developped on my skin like a perfume. It’s got some warm notes. It’s like walking through a pine forest and drinking in the deep scent released whilst brushing passed by the branches. But amidst the relaxing fragrance of the balsam fir jazzes up the vibrant refreshing lemongrass, balanced out with the herbs and the other spices.

It is an oil blend that certainly maximises the synergistic effect between the various individual oil chemistries and harmonic frequencies.

The oil blend is high in sesquiterpenes which help to increase the oxygen in the limbic system of the brain, which in turn “unlocks” the DNA and allows emotional baggage to be released from cellular memory. The blend contains Rosemary, Juniper, Nutmeg, Fir, Black Pepper, Lemongrass and Clove. It is high in limonene. Rosemary alpha pinene works on the brain, and camphor from the juniper helps in its soothening action.

This special oil blend will go to the brain and to the adrenal glands. Nutmeg contains adrenal cortex stimulating activity. The beauty is that you cannot push the adrenal glands beyond their capacity to do what they are supposed to do … it’s all 100% natural and organic.

This oil blend boasts electro magnetic frequency levels of 106 MHz – considering that Fresh produce have electricial frequencies (5-10 MHz), fresh herbs (5-10 MHz) and dried herbs (12-22 MHz). The higher your frequency the healthier you are. This 100% therapeutic grade medicinal oil blend has molecules so pure and fine that they go straight through the skin into the blood stream helping the body to re-adjust naturally again.

Ingredients (also see picture above):

• Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)
• Juniper (Juniper osteosperma ans J. scopulorum)
• Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus)
• Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans)
• Idaho balsam fir (Abies balsamea)
• Clove (Syzygium aromaticum)
• Black Pepper (Piper nigrum)

Application:

You can use the oil undiluted. Add a couple of drops into the palm of your hand and gently rub the hands together to actvate it. Cup your hands ove your nose and deeply inhale.

Next add some oil on your wrists, neck and temples. Enhance the effect by massaging the oil blend into the reflex points of your feet, which will frive the goodness straight into your bloodstream.

If desired, you can get someone to give you a massage with the “Raindrop Techique”. Rubbing the oil up the spine is very powerful.

If your skin is very sensitive you can dilute 1 part of the Essential Oil to 2 parts of vegetable oil. Preferably use V-6 massage carrier oil or other organic oils so that chemicals do not interact with the essential oil and waste energy.

You can also diffuse the oil blend in a diffuser, or add 2-4 drops to bath water.

If you want to support your energy, I recommend solar plexus, heart and pineal gland chakras. When you do, use it with full intentions and consciousness.

I thank my very good friend – sole sister Sheree for sharing her experiences with me.

My first kit was the Essential 7 Kit (very similar to the Everyday Oils Kit). But what stands out in my mind to share with you today is the wonderful oil Peace and Calming. I would not be without this oil. My second son Riley has had this oil used on him since he was a small baby. I have seen the results calm and sooth him out of his night terrors in seconds/minutes from just a smell to also having it put on his chest. I kept a bottle in his room and always put some on after his bath. I still have this original bottle, I can’t part with it. The label has been sucked off and every drop used. I let him hold it, put it in his mouth and love it like I do. This oil has saved us many times with all three of my children. My husband Alan has seen the results and was amazed. He too is a believer of the gift of Young Living oils and products. He believed in the oils because I believed, but he soon saw and believed for himself.”

Sandra writes: “I joined Young Living nearly 4 months ago and love the oils and the positive results I am getting with them. My story started yesterday.

I bought a new laptop computer and needed help setting up programs on it. I called a wonderful young man who is a son of my husband’s 1st cousin. Chris has high functioning Asperger’s Syndrome (a condition similar to autism) which had been brought about by a Salmonella infection when he was only 3 months old. He is now 40.

When Chris walked in he seemed tired and said he was off to the Doctor tomorrow, said he went every month. He started working on the computer and had been at it for about an hour and a half. I could see he was frustrated. I asked him if he wanted to come back tomorrow. No he said, and with that started to tell me how he exactly felt. He said his brain felt foggy, he was sore all over and very stuffed up in the nose. I said have you got the flu? No I’m always like this – The Doctor has me on gout tablets (for what reason he didn’t know).

I went to my oil collection and got Peppermint oil. I told him to hold each nostril separately and at the same time have two sniffs of the Peppermint into the open nostril, which he did. With in 5 minutes he said he felt wonderful. Aches and pains had gone, head and nose were clear and he said he could think clearly. The fog had lifted. Half an hour later Chris said he couldn’t remember when he’d felt this good before. He finished the job and I sent him on his way with a bottle of Peppermint oil. By his reaction you would have thought I had given him a gold nugget.”

MSM has the ability to equalize water pressure inside of the cells is a considerable benefit to those that suffer from bursitis, arthritis and tendonitis.

It also activates enzymes, helps the body assimilate vitamins and metabolizes carbohydrates.Sulfurzyme may also help with symptoms of sulfur deficiency, such as poor nail and hair growth, falling hair, eczema, dermatitis, poor muscle tone, acne, gout, rheumatism, arthritis, Multiple Sklerosis, Parkinsons, Lou Gehrigs and Alzheimers disease.

Most of us have heard about the benefits of MSM, and could easily assume that all MSM products are the same, but did you know that Dr. Ronald Lawrence, the person who “wrote the book” on MSM, endorses Young Living’s MSM product (named Sulfurzyme)?

“Sulfur is the forgotten essential element.” Carl Pfeiffer, M.D., Ph.D., a world-renowned expert on nutritional medicine.

The following information is from the Essential Oils Desk Reference Guide, 3rd Edition. Sulfurzyme is a unique combination of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), the protein-building compound found in breast milk, fresh fruits and vegetables, and Ningxia wolfberry (Lycium barbarum). Together, they create a new concept in balancing the immune system and supporting almost every major function of the body. Of particular importance is the ability of MSM to equalize water pressure inside of the cells—a considerable benefit for those plagued with bursitis, arthritis, and tendinitis. Ningxia wolfberry supplies nutrients to enhance the proper assimilation and metabolism of sulfur.

INGREDIENTS:

MSM is a special organic sulfur that combats autoimmune diseases including arthritis, asthma, lupus, and scleroderma. MSM is critical to proper skin, hair, and liver health. MSM is the subject of a bestselling book, The Miracle of MSM, The Natural Solution for Pain, authored by UCLA neuropsychiatrist Ronald Lawrence M.D., Ph.D., and Stanley Jacob, M.D.

Ningxia wolfberry (Lycium barbarum) contains minerals and coenzymes to support sulfur metabolism.

MSM: A New Solution for Arthritis, Allergies, and Pain [Also from the Essential Oils Desk Reference, 3rd Edition]

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural sulfur-bearing nutrient that occurs widely in nature (found in everything from mother’s milk to fresh vegetables). It is an exceptional source of nutritional sulfur — a mineral that is vital to protein synthesis and sound health.

Why is sulfur so important to the body? Because sulfur is a mineral which, like vitamin C, is constantly being used up and depleted. When we fair to replenish our reserves of nutritional sulfur, we become more vulnerable to disease and degenerative conditions. Some possible signs of sulfur deficiency are:

Poor nail and hair growth
Eczema
Dermatitis
Poor muscle tone
Acne/Pimples
Gout
Rheumatism
Arthritis
Weakening of nervous system
Constipation
Impairment of mental faculties
Lowered libido

MSM is more than just another essential nutrient. According to research compiled by Ronald Lawrence, Ph.D, M.D. and Stanley Jacob, M.D., MSM represents a safe, natural solution for chronic headaches, back pain, tendinitis, fibriomyalgia, rheumatism, arthritis, athletic injuries, muscle spasms, asthma, and allergies.

In a book entitled “The Miracle of MSM” [available from Essential Science Publishing and other places], both Dr. Jacobs and Dr. Lawrence discuss how MSM has benefited hundreds of patients. A UCLA neuro-psychiatrist, Dr. Lawrence is convinced that MSM will revolutionize how millions of people deal with inflammatory autoimmune diseases like rheumatism, asthma, bursitis, and tendinitis, as well as auto-immune diseases like arthritis, lupus, schleroderma and allergies.

Other doctors have also seen their patients dramatically improve using 2 to 4 grams of MSM daily. According to David Blyweiss, M.D., of the Institute of Advanced Medicine in Lauderhill, Florida, many patients experience a 50% improvement in their arthritis symptoms, along with less fatigue, better sleep and better ability to exercise.

Dr. Laurence has also used MSM to improve the condition of patients who were virtually crippled with arthritis and back pain. One patient was able to get out of bed for the first time after just two weeks on MSM. And after two months of MSM use, he would walk to the grocery store.

Another of Dr. Lawrence’s patients was a 70-year-old woman who was suffering from severe arthritis. In this case, MSM actually postponed the need for double knee replacement. In fact, after only two months on oral MSM, she was walking again with much less pain and stiffness.

Numerous other MSM uses have experienced results equivalent to cortisone, but without side effects like immune suppression, fluid retention and weakness.

According to Stanley Jacord, M.D., there may be no pharmaceutical back pain therapy better, or safer, than MSM. “MSM has an important role to play in the nonsurgical treatment of back pain,” he said. “I have seen several hundred patients for back pain secondary to osteoarthritis, disc degeneration, spinal misalignment, or accidents. For such pain-related conditions, MSM is usually beneficial.”

“I have been recommending MSM for more that six months,” says Richard Shaefer, a chiropractor from Wheeling, Illinois. “The results have been excellent. I consistently see major reduction in pain and inflammation in arthritic joints, along with improved range of motion. I can’t think of a single individual who isn’t getting some kind of positive effect.”

MSM may have other benefits aside from its pain and inflammation-reducing properties. Numerous patients have reported a surge in energy levels along with thicker, hair, nails and skin. Some have even reported a softening of disappearance of scar tissue.

One user reported a marked increase in stamina and energy after starting on MSM. “For a long while I have had the blahs,” complained Lou Salyer of Tucson, Arizona. “I had no stamina. I had to force myself to get things done around the house. After two days on MSM, it was like a blast of energy. I am amazed at how much I get done now.”

MSM may also do much more than relieve pain. “Prior to taking MSM (30 grams a day for 20 years), I would have a cold or flue two or three times a year, Stated Dr. Jacobs. “Since I’ve been taking MSM, I’ve not had a single cold or the flu. I can’t say that MSM prevented my cold or the flu, but it is a fascinating observation.”

MSM contains an exceptionally bioavailable source of sulfur, one of the most neglected minerals needed by the human body. Carl Pfeiffer, M.D., Ph.D., a world-renowned expert on nutritional medicine, agrees. “Sulfur is the forgotten essential element.”

Found in such foods as garlic and asparagus, the sulfur within MSM is a critical part of the amino acids cysteine and methionine, which form the building blocks of the nails, hair and skin. Sulfur is also found in therapeutic mineral baths and hot springs that have brought relief to arthritis sufferers for centuries.

MSM is very closely related to DMSO, a powerful pain reliever that was the subject of a “60 Minutes” report in April, 1980. DMSO has been approved by the FDA for interstitial cystitis, a painful urinary tract condition.

THE YOUTH NUTRIENT

Of particular importance is MSM’s ability to equalize water pressure inside the cells — a considerable benefit for those plagued with bursitis, arthritis and tendinitis. These kinds of inflammatory outbreaks are created when the water pressure inside the cells jumps past the pressure outside the cells, creating pressure and pain. MSM acts as a sort of cellular safety valve, affecting the protein envelope of the cell so that water transfers freely in and out of the cell. The result: rapid relief and less damage to tissues. And because it elasticizes the hold between the cells, MSM can restore flexibility to inflamed tissues.

When our bodies grow older and are chronically shortchanged of key minerals like sulfur and MSM, the bonds between our cells become increasingly rigid and brittle — a condition that can lead to a loss in skin flexibility and contribute to skin wrinkles. The internal manifestations of this cellular brittleness are far less visible but have a far greater negative impact on the body. MSM’s ability to reintroduce flexibility into cell structures, therefore, can have widespread restorative effects.

Why is sulfur so important to the body? Because sulfur is a mineral which, like vitamin C, is constantly being used up and depleted.
