Can you imagine the human journey without some kind of stress?

 

In addition to the mere fact of being born, there are plenty of internal and external stimuli to compel us into our own work around those things which we receive as “stress.”

 

 

Fear of success, fear of failure, fear of loss, losing control, being controlled… not good enough, not enough of money.. love or heating oil…

 

 

 

What’s more frustrating, our average level of stress literally becomes imprinted as our "familiar frequency" meaning if someone magically took it away, we would immediately and instinctively create the same level because in some way, we would feel naked without it. For true change to occur, a new familiar frequency, such as peace, must be imprinted as "normal" and this is a process that warrants patience, humor and humility… and some sensible tools along the way.

Essential oils are excellent amplifiers and potent messengers, absorbed easily into the emotional centers of the brain where stress programming resides and replays.  Following is a simple practice utilizing a therapeutic grade blend called Clarity, available only from Young Living Essential Oils (ordering information below). Even the most skeptical individuals have reported great success with this practice, seeing deeply rooted, life long emotional patterns ease out in a short period of time.  

 

And now the process:

 

First, tune in on the feeling of STRESS, or a stressful event, bring it strongly to mind.
(This brings it to the frontal lobe of the brain.)
Envision the opposite of STRESS, which is HARMONY.

 

Apply a drop of CLARITY (blend) to the BRAIN INTEGRATION point (1” above top of ear)

as well as the forehead, top of head and base of skull.

Inhale deeply.

 

Affirm repeatedly “I UNDERSTAND.”  The spoken word amplifies the effect by 80 %... and the body mind centers literally hear it, so even better if you do this aloud. If at first the words may sound hollow… keep doing it… something will suddenly shift.  Repeat this practice numerous times a day … I’m betting in your favor that Stress will shift. Revisit your list. How does it feel now?

 

If you are into EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique, www.emofree.com ), feel free to tap on the karate point (side of hand) while envisioning and affirming the above. Breathwork… Reiki… Polarity… Acupuncture… all wonder amplifiers as desired.

 

This is the time of your healing and discovery…

ADDITIONAL STRESS TOOLS: 

Make a list of your 10 top stressors. 

 

 

 

What do they have in common?  At the core is usually one key emotion operating under everything else, however, if one issue seems to be causing the most discomfort (ie, getting your attention/causing pain), go with it. (See book reference below to address other emotions.)

 

 

When we diffuse the top emotion, 

 

underlying emotions become more accessible to work with or release, thus the healing journey begins. And though it may appear we cannot do much about those external conditions, in fact, when we heal the war inside, we contribute to the greater healing of the war outside. The peace that we exude ripples outward and affects others, more than we can ever know. Hold that thought too…

 

For emotional stress in general, 

 

the following easy practice might be useful. Drawn directly from Carolyn Mein, DC’s excellent book, “Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils,” it incorporates bringing the intended emotion to the forefront of the brain where it can be accessed, plugging in your ability to envision and affirm, and then enhancing the process with the application of a potent essential oil blend which is absorbed directly into the emotional center of the brain and throughout the body cells and DNA.

 

 

Deborah's Note: This is one of my favorite oils stories by by David Stewart, Ph.D.,R.A.... a great example of how the oils apply to everyday life, whether the recipient understands how they work... or not!


Shortly after I published the book, Healing Oils of the Bible, my pastor came down with pneumonia. It was on a late Sunday or Monday morning. He was coughing up blood and had gone to the emergency room of a local hospital. He was given antibiotics, some cough medicine, and codeine as a narcotic to help him sleep.  He returned home, took the medicines as prescribed, and only got worse.

His wife reported his declining condition to us at the start of choir practice on Wednesday night. According to her he was still coughing up blood, couldn't rest, couldn't eat, couldn't drink anything, and "hurt all over."  She was becoming alarmed at his deteriorating condition and didn't know what to do. “He is just zonked out,” she said, “and can't hardly talk rationally or do anything for himself, and the codeine is tearing up his stomach, he has such a reaction. The doctors say they don’t know how to stop the hemorrhaging in his lungs,” she added shaking her head.

Normally, my wife and I keep a low profile in our local church (United Methodist) so neither of us spoke up right away.  99% of the members of our church are totally wedded to allopathic medicine. Everyone in our church knows we do oils, but hardly anyone has been receptive to what we have to offer.

Suddenly, one of the choir members turned to the minister's wife saying, “You know, David and Lee Stewart have some oils that really helped my mother and maybe they can help the preacher.” She then related that her mother had had walking pneumonia the previous winter and for nearly three months had gone to doctors repeatedly, spending a great deal of money. She had taken many medicines and antibiotics and just kept getting worse. She said that she had mentioned using oils, but her mother wasn't interested.

“Finally, I had had enough of my mother's complaining all the time,” she said. “So I just sat her down one day and said, ‘You know, mom, you've been taking the doctor's medicines for months now and you aren't getting any better so now I want you to quit taking all those prescriptions and we are going to try oils. They can't hurt.’ So I rubbed a blend of eucalyptus and melaleuca oils (R.C.) on her chest and on her feet and put on a hot damp towel on her chest. I showed my dad, too, so he could do it several times a day and let her breathe the vapors. After two or three days she was cured of the pneumonia. So I know they work!” she stated emphatically.

I was watching the preacher's wife closely during this to see if there would be a response. There was none. So I figured she was not interested. At the end of choir practice, I quietly said to her, “I gave your husband a copy of my new book on healing oils about three weeks ago.  I don't know if he has read it or if you have seen it.”  She replied that she had seen it, but had not read any of it.  “You know, these oils really do work,” I added. Then I shut up.

Choir was over at 8:00 PM. About 10:00 PM I got a phone call. It was the preacher's wife. "My husband wants you to bring over the oils," she said. "He's kind of drugged up right now, but how about tomorrow morning?” I said I would be there. I hung up and started praying silently for the preacher and asking for guidance as to what oils I should bring and how to use them.

Early the next morning, praying all the way, I went to the parsonage with a diffuser and four oils:

Hyssop, Frankincense, Exodus II (a blend of all the oils mentioned in Exodus), and R.C.
 
Now I have to say, that I felt led by God on the first three oils, but since my faith was not perfect, I brought the R.C. along just for my own assurance knowing that this blend had worked on pneumonia in other cases. But I also must add that as I was driving over I had no idea of what I was going to do with these oils except I had complete faith that God would guide me when I got there and would let me know whatever I needed to know at the time.

When I arrived, I found the preacher lying pale and listless in bed with his eyes only half open, almost in a stupor. “He’s still coughing blood,” said his wife.

Immediately I started the diffuser with a mixture of R.C. and Hyssop. I then helped her turn his body around on the bed so his head was as close to the diffuser as we could get it. I asked him to breathe deeply.

Dropping about eight to ten drops of Frankincense on his head, I rubbed it all over, explaining that I was anointing him with Frankincense like Moses anointed Aaron. He liked that and started pinking up right away. 

I then put R.C. and Hyssop on the lung reflex areas of his feet, doing a special massage technique (vitaflex) across each foot several times. He liked that, too.

With his wife’s help, I turned him over and raindropped Hyssop and R.C. on his upper back over the lungs and did some of the light stroking we do in raindrop. Then I turned him back on his back and raindropped R.C. and Hyssop on his chest, rubbing his chest all over. “I am anointing you in a manner that similar to that done in ancient Biblical times,” I explained to him and his wife. “Also,” I added, “by dropping these oils a few inches above the skin, they are falling through your electromagnetic field and will start administering therapy to you before they even hit your body.” The pastor and his wife both nodded in approval.

I then gave him the bottle of Exodus II and told him to tip it and put a drop or two in his mouth and swallow it. He did. I explained that these oils are mentioned in the Book of Exodus and that Moses and Aaron used some of them to stop a plague recorded in the Book of Numbers. “These oils will also help stop your pneumonia,” I said.

He immediately responded exclaiming, “This is the best I have felt in days.” About ten minutes later he began coughing up phlegm and clearing his lungs.  (“The hyssop is working,” I thought to myself.) “Look,” he said excitedly, “there is no blood!” The hemorrhaging in his lungs had stopped.

I then left him with his wife peacefully resting with his head on a pillow next to the diffuser with instructions to breathe the
vapors all day and take another drop or two of the Exodus blend from time to time. His wife had to go to work, but told me that the house would be open if I wanted to come back later on to check.

Returning that afternoon, I found him sitting up on his bed reading my book, Healing Oils of the Bible. “Pretty interesting book,” he said. He was smiling and drinking some juice. “This is the first time I have been able to drink anything in a couple of days. I feel almost well.”

I gave him another anointing of R.C. and Hyssop on his chest, rubbing it in well. He took another drop of Exodus orally. I anointed his head with Frankincense again, rubbing it thoroughly all over. He really liked that. I put some more Hyssop in his diffuser and then left him for the day.

The next morning about 10 A.M. I dropped in. He met me at the door with his shoes on, fully dressed. He had been working on his sermon and the church bulletin for the coming Sunday. “I didn't know a couple of days ago if  I was going to be able to make it to church this week at all,” he said with a big smile, “but thanks to your oils, I am just fine. I have a slight headache, but my breathing is clear. I don’t think I have pneumonia any more. And you know,” he added, “Since you came with the oils yesterday, I haven't taken any of the doctor’s prescriptions.”

The next Sunday in church, he gave a testimony for his healing experience with the oils before the whole congregation and has been telling everyone about it ever since. He even conveyed his experience to the bishop and a number of his fellow ministers. A week later he came to my house to buy some books to give to friends saying, “If you ever want me to give a testimony on those oils, just tell me. I know that’s what took care of my pneumonia.”

Concluding Note: It is important to emphasize here that the initiative for receiving the oils and laying on of hands was from the minister and his wife, not me. If they would not have called and asked for the oils, I would not have gone nor pursued it any further. Their act of receptivity was essential for this healing to have taken place. Without it, the healing would not have occurred. In Mark 6:10-11 Jesus advises his disciples to provide their healing ministry only to those who are receptive and to those who are not receptive, "leave and shake the dust off of your feet as a testimony against them." In other words, when you offer God's anointing to people who are unwilling to receive it, move on and find people who will. Don't waste your time. For more on this, see pages 80–83 in the book Healing Oils of the Bible.

(21 Dec, 2004)

Essential oils usually used in aromatherapy have been found to kill the deadly MRSA bacteria according to research carried out at The University of Manchester. Tests revealed that three essential oils killed MRSA and E. coli as well as many other bacteria and fungi within just two minutes of contact. The oils can easily be blended and made into soaps and shampoos which could be used by hospital staff, doctors and patients in a bid to eradicate the spread of these deadly `super bugs'.

Researchers are now desperately looking for funding to develop their work and carry out a clinical trial. Peter Warn from the University's Faculty of Medicine who worked on the research said: 'We believe that our discovery could revolutionize the fight to combat MRSA and other `super bugs', but we need to carry out a trial and to do that we need a small amount of funding ' around £30,000.'

We are having problems finding this funding because essential oils cannot be patented as they are naturally occurring, so few drug companies are interested in our work as they do not see it as commercially viable. Obviously, we find this very frustrating as we believe our findings could help to stamp out MRSA and save lives,' added Peter, who is based at Hope Hospital.

Essential oils are chemical compounds found within aromatic plants, which the plants use to fight off infections. Researchers tested 40 essential oils against ten of the most deadly bacteria and fungi. Two of these oils killed MRSA and E. coli almost instantly, while a third was shown to act over a longer period of time, meaning that any soaps or shampoos made by blending these three oils would be effective over a period of time.

Jacqui Stringer who is Clinical Lead of Complementary Therapies at the Christie Hospital instigated the research and said: 'The use of plants in medicine is nothing new but some people regard the use of essential oils as unconventional. Our research shows a very practical application which could be of enormous benefit to the NHS and its patients. The reason essential oils are so effective is because they are made up of a complex mixture of chemical compounds which the MRSA and other super bug bacteria finds difficult to resist.

The problem with current treatments is that they are made of single compounds which MRSA relatively quickly becomes resistant to, so treatment is only successful in around 50% of cases.'

While a wide range of products currently exist to help prevent the spread of MRSA these are often unpleasant for patients as their application can cause skin irritation. MRSA is often carried inside the nose which means that patients often have to insert treatments up their nostrils, whereas these essential oils can simply be inhaled to prevent the patient being at risk,' added Jacqui.

Jacqui works with leukemia patients at the Christie Hospital using essential oils to help in their treatment. Patients receiving treatment for cancer and leukemia are often left with weakened immune systems, which make them vulnerable to infection from MRSA.

The National Audit Office estimates that infections such as MRSA kill 5,000 people each year and hospital-acquired infections cost the NHS around £1 billion a year.

Brain Power (Blend)

D. Gary Young’s Blog
October 20th, 2008

How many of us feel mentally fatigued and want to give up on our goals?
Let’s talk about Brain Power™ essential oil blend from Young Living and how it may help you.

Some feel that Brain Power is just for physical benefits.
But if your brain is fatigued, what are the chances of negative feelings creeping in?

Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Melissa, Frankincense, Helichrysum, Australian blue, Cypress, Lavender—these essential oils all contain sesqueterpines. Sesqueterpines are C15 carbon chains that do not contain oxygen molecules, but mysteriously pull oxygen in. So wherever sesqueterpines are found, oxygen will always come and attach to it.

When we have an oxygen deficiency in the brain, we will have problems in dealing with day-to-day stresses, making correct decisions and feeling self-motivated. In studies that were conducted at Berlin and Vienna universities, it was determined that breathing sesqueterpine oils increases blood brain oxygen.

Essential oils have been used for all manner of healing since 4500 BC, yet few people today realize their healing benefits. As recently as World War II when the British Army ran out of Penicillin, the essential oil of Lavender was used and successfully prevented infection and gangrene in the wounded.

According to ancient hieroglyphics, Egyptian priests performed healing rituals using essential oils to "cleanse the blood and the flesh" of evil deities. Today we call them infection... negative emotions and trauma. Those long ago healers understood the role that emotions played in the body and its health – and today’s healers acknowledge this truth as well.

By design, the human body is a fantastic storage vessel – stuffing emotions into every nook and cranny and even imprinted into the DNA. This would explain how deep emotions tend to hold us, often cycling around, even when we have done loads of therapy and treatment. Have you ever had a car accident and noticed your digestion was off for some time afterwards?

Deep trauma patterns influence every aspect of our lives, including the spine, overall health, eating habits, sleep, self-esteem, and the way we handle stress and interpersonal relations. Such patterns often repeat until the source is healed.

        Major Clue: If you’re not enjoying life, something is amiss.

The Egyptian Emotional Clearing gently releases stored emotions including those imprinted in the DNA. The session consists of 12–16 therapeutic grade essential oil blends anointed on the chakra (energy) centers such as the throat, heart, gut, navel, etc. The session requires 90-120 minutes, yet the oils continue to process in the body for up to 21 days. Wear loose fitted clothing, you will be lying comfortably on a massage table with a warm blanket. $130/90-120 min. session.


IMPORTANT NOTE: Prior to the Egyptian Emotional Clearing, one must have received a Raindrop® Technique fairly recently as it “aligns the electrical highway” and moves out emotional blockages along the spine. With this important channel in tact, the body is then able to integrate the Emotional Clearing oils.

If this sounds intriguing, please call with questions or to schedule an appointment! 207-846-0413

RAINDROP TECHNIQUE is a powerful, non-invasive essential oil therapy for assisting the body in correcting defects in the curvature of the spine.

During its years of practice, the Raindrop has resolved numerous cases of spinal curvature (scoliosis) and eliminated the need for back surgery for thousands of people.

Raindrop Technique originated in the 1980s from the research of Dr. Gary Young working with a Lakota medicine man named Wallace Black Elk. It integrates Vitaflex, utilizing the power of essential oils in bringing the body into structural and electrical alignment." (from the Essential Oils Desk Reference)

Raindrop Technique uses a sequence of essential oils that are immune enhancing, support the body's natural defenses, as well as the circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, digestive, nervous, and other body systems. These oils, which are high in antioxidants, are also mood elevating and antiseptic, creating an unfavorable environment for harmful viruses and baceria that can hibernate in the body. Essential oils are known to boost stamina and energy, help you relax, help manage stress and frustration and promote overall health, vitality, and longevity.

The principal single oils used include:

• Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) 
• Oregano (Origanum compactum)
• Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens)
• Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens)
• Peppermint (Mentha piperita)
• Basil (Ocimum basilicum)
• Marjoram (Origanum majorana)

The oils are dispensed in little drops from a height of about six inches above the back, which is where Raindrop Technique gets its name. They are then massaged along the spine and back muscles. They are also applied to the feet.

The whole process takes about an hour and may continue to work in the body for up to one week following a Raindrop Session, with possible realignment and bodily adjustment taking place during this time.

"Raindrop Technique" is not a cure-all or a magic bullet. A healthy balanced body is the result of a well-rounded program of exercise and proper diet. Health is everything we do, say, hear, see, and eat. The Raindrop Technique is only one tool to help restore balance in the body that will result in good health." (from the Essential Oils Desk Reference")

Many professionals, including chiropractors, massage therapists, osteopaths, reflexologists, and certified aromatherapists have found Raindrop and Vitaflex techniques to be an excellent addition to the repertoire of their practices.

Scientific documentation on the results of raindrop has been compiled into a publication entitled, "The Raindrop Study: Statistical Outcomes and Experiences with the Raindrop Technique of Aromatherapy (see Books and DVDs). A portion of this study may be downloaded from this website.

Protect Your Kids from MRSA Infections

Date updated: October 25, 2007
Article provided by Revolution Health Group 

You've more than likely heard the recent news that potentially deadly, drug-resistant staph infections are on the rise, according to a study published in JAMA (The Journal of the American Medical Association). The study reports that methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are more common — both in and out of hospitals — than experts once thought.
 
More than 90,000 Americans get potentially deadly infections each year from this drug-resistant staph "superbug," according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, which reported the findings in the Oct. 17 issue of JAMA. However, the study found that the majority of MRSA outbreaks are in health care settings such as hospitals and nursing homes.

About 85% of all invasive MRSA infections were associated with health care settings — two–thirds of which surfaced in the community among people who were hospitalized, underwent a medical procedure or resided in a long–term care facility within the previous year, according to the study.

In contrast, the other 15% of reported infections were considered to be community-associated — which means that the infection occurred in people without documented health care risk factors.

Spread of MRSA infections preventable

 

Schools nationwide are reporting outbreaks of Staphylococcus aureus skin infections. Some of them are MRSA infections, which has recently caused two student deaths. But the spread of these infections is preventable "through rigorous hygiene and cleanliness," says Betsy McCaughey, Ph.D., chairman of the New York City-based Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths (RID).
 
Since most of these infections are being spread in school gyms and locker rooms as athletes with minor cuts and abrasions share equipment, there are steps you, your family and the schools can take to reduce the risk.

Essential Oils vs. Chemicals and Antimicrobial Agents

 

Chemical cleaners and anti-microbial sanitizers are simple (non-living) chemistry that does not change. Pathogens and bacteria easily develop resistence to this chemistry, and thus it becomes ineffective.

Therapeutic grade essential oils contain complex, living, intelligent chemistry that opportunistic pathogen has difficulty developing resistance to. The multiple constituents in any single oil alone exceed that of chemicals; imagine what a blend of oils has to offer?

Melaleuca, Lavender, peppermint and thyme essential oils showed the strongest killing power against MRSA and VRE antibiotic-=resistant bacteria, according to studies at the Western Infirmary, Glasgow, UK.

DIFFUSING A BLEND OF CLOVE , CINNAMON, LEMON, EUCALYPTUS AND ROSEMARY OILS
KILLED OVER 99% OF BACTERIA IN 12 MINUTES.

 

The longer the essential oil blend (Thieves) was diffused, the greater the reduction in microbes,
according to the lead Scientist Diane Horne, Weber State University.

 

HERE’S MY THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

 

Investigate the therapeutic grade essential blend named after the Three Thieves, and research that validates certain essential oils contained in this blend against resistant bacteria. Consider this line of natural, organic and holistic products for your family’s protection and your peace of mind. It can be diffused in the home, applied topically, used to sanitize hands, clothes and equipment and is FDA approved as a Dietary Supplement. (Read more about this blend and how to purchase it at www.watertiger.younglivingworld.com or email me for research reports and information at watertiger89@verizon.net )

A few natural tools to protect against MSRA infections and pathogens:

1. Clean hands frequently. Apply a drop of essential oil of Thieves blend, clove, eucalyptus radiata or lemon  to hands and feet as a natural microbial barrier.  Be sure to use therapeutic grade oils that contain living, beneficial chemistry, other oils have been destroyed due to un-natural distillation practices and chemical fillers.
2. Tuck a small container of Thieves® Spray, Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier or Wipes your child's book bag — if your child is of the age to use it properly.
3. Educators, install dispensers of Thieves@ Foaming Hand Soap or Thieves Spray inside each classroom.
4. Warn students not to share gym clothes, towels and other personal items. MRSA bacteria can live on fabrics and hard surfaces for up to 90 days.
5. Warn students against sharing bars of soap. Use pump dispensers only.
6. Educators, ensure that all shared sports equipment (wrestling mats, baseball gloves, gymnastics equipment, etc.) and locker room facilities such as benches are cleaned with Thieves® Household Cleaner, spray a dilution in water and let sit for a moment or two before wiping clear.
7. Educators, make sure that when a student gets a cut or abrasion on the playground or in class, it is cleaned immediately by someone whose hands are also clean and protected with sterile gloves! Classrooms should have a first-aid kit or ready access to a school nurse. Thieves® Spray or Foaming Hand Soap would be quite useful in that process.
8. Wipe down sports equipment and other high-touch surfaces as well as washable keyboards for computers with a dilution of Thieves® Household Cleaner.
9. School authorities should periodically have surfaces in the gym and classrooms tested in order to know the extent of MRSA contamination.
10. Athletes, gym teachers and coaches should be given extra awareness tools to reduce their heightened risk of MSRA exposure.
11. Parents, consider adding a capful of Thieves® Household Cleaner to your young athlete’s laundry to sanitize wash.
12. Sanitize fruits, vegetables, eggs, cutting and cooking surfaces with a dilution of Thieves® Household Cleaner.

*Thieves® is a proprietary blend of therapeutic grade essential oils from Young Living. EO’s from bath shops and natural foods stores are often perfume grade and thus may not yield therapeutic results. Perfume grade oils have been rendered toxic by the distillation method, fillers, chemical extractants, etc. and may cause adverse reactions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have noticed that animals clearly recognize the "good stuff." Oft times animals magnate to me when I am wearing the Young Living oils (Read: Always) and interacte in ways that usually surprise their keepers.

 

FELINE ATTRACTION

One time I visited a friend who owned a cat that nobody ever saw but her, until that day. We were sitting on the living room floor chatting when the cat appeared. My friend's eyes widened, as the cat then proceeded to meander across the room to my side where it ritually licked my hands, front and back and between my fingers before sauntering off.. By then, my friend's mouth was pretty much on the floor. I had applied the digestive blend and perhaps Peppermint on my adbomen before driving to her house… and the oils were still present on my hands. Animals especially love the oils in that blend.  

 

EQUINE RESPONSE

Several years ago I facilitated a Raindrop session on a former racehorse that was being rehabilitated by its new owner. Starting with Valor in the palm of my hand, I offered this to the horse who buried his nose in my palm, pulled his head away for a moment then buried his nose in my palm again. Soon the head dropped as if to say… “Fine…do whatever you want.” We proceeded with the Raindrop and the horse remained fairly relaxed even though I was an unfamiliar person, and the session was a new process. Later, she reported having the best ride ever, with the horse's gate and temperment smooth as silk. None of the customary hitches or behaviors from prior abuse, and a mildly inflamed area on the spine had cleared up.

 

CANINE RESPONSE

I visited one day and watched as a Scottish Highland Terrier went through his series of tricks for some customers and played with a young boy for a while. When they were done, I knelt down and welcomed Willie, who darted over, jumped in my lap and nuzzled my abdomen and neck like we were old buds. I looked up and noticed his keeper was quite surprised. She said, “Willie doesn’t get up in anyone’s lap, not even mine… do you have a way with animals?”

 

Well yes but I confessed that I also had something on my person that he recognized and attracted to. As it turned out, Willie had an issue with licking his feet till nearly raw, as well as his abdomen and he often kept her up at night doing so. I mentioned the oils briefly and asked if she would be interested in seeing if Lavender was helpful? So I came back and let her apply some on Willie’s feet and belly. Just as she was asking how soon she might see a response, Willie began zipping around the store, rolling, snorting and begging to play with his tug toy. I asked if this was normal behavior for 3:00 pm and she said, “Well no…” Willie was feeling pretty darned good – euphoric even! She bought a half bottle of Lavender and said the licking and raw skin issue was much improved, as was her sleep. (For sure, there must be a deeper issue with the dog's food, digestion or stress, but this was a good starting place).

 

It may be useful to mention, when familiarizing people to the oils and explaining the difference in the grades of oils, that animals know, and you can’t fool animals about quality and content. It would be interesting to test some of the commercially available oils and Young Living’s oils by simply offering it to them to interact with. I believe it would be quite telling.
