SPEARMINT 🍃🍃🍃

Twenty-two days of exposure to spearmint EO improved several memory measures, strengthened the brain’s antioxidant defenses, and reduced oxidative damage after drug-induced memory problems. Subjects exposed to the lower concentration used produced the most consistent memory benefits, while the higher concentration reduced exploration in some tests, suggesting that more was not always better. These findings support further research for cognitive impairment, but benefits in people have yet to be established.

Peppermint 🍃🍃🍃

Migraines are debilitating and significantly impair one's ability to function. Essential oils, particularly peppermint, are emerging as safe, effective, noninvasive, and inexpensive ways to combat migraines. A preclinical model of migraine found that inhalation of peppermint essential oil abolished pain for up to two hours and significantly reduced photosensitivity up to three hours. Additionally, intranasal administration of isolated menthol reduced pain for five hours, suggesting menthol may be the active anti-migraine constituent in peppermint.

Cedarwood and Copaiba 🍃🍃🍃

Have you been concerned about an inability to REMEMBER things the way you once did?

Thankfully, ALL pure, premium essential oils have the ability to oxygenate all the cells of the body – including brain cells! Therefore, when we use them regularly, our “brain pauses” are minimized. Oils that are high in sesquiterpenes have the ability to oxygenate the cells of the brain directly – crossing the “blood-brain barrier” – as well as through the circulatory system.

My two favorite oils for this are CEDARWOOD and COPAIBA, each of which is about 98% sesquiterpenes. I love to apply these oils over the brainstem and on the temples and then cup my hands over my nose, inhaling deeply at least 6-8 times.

So which one is best? Why not use BOTH? That is one of the wonderful things about working with the Young Living premium essential oils – you can layer many oils and reapply them every 20 minutes without fear of somehow “overdosing” on the oils. Any part of an oil that is not utilized by the body is eliminated within 20 minutes. The balancing effects last, but the components not needed for balance at that time are gone.

Start layering . . . and observe every cell in your body becoming healthier and more vibrant!

Lemon 🍋🍋🍋

Motion sickness can seriously ruin a road trip, flight, or boat ride. Motion sickness is very common, with 1 in 3 people considered highly susceptible to it.

A non-randomized, pre-post self-controlled clinical study evaluated the effects of lemon EO on motion sickness. During Phase 1, participants wore standard disposable masks; while in the intervention phase (Phase 2), participants wore disposable aromatherapy masks. The aromatherapy masks consisted of mask containing a strip of shapeable wire core wrapped in an essential oil-infused (3% lemon EO) cotton carrier, entirely enclosed within a non-woven fabric outer layer to release the EO slowly. Both phases occurred while participants rode a bus on a fixed route for 30 minutes. Both the total motion sickness score and the scores for motion sickness-related symptoms significantly reduced after inhaling lemon EO. Specifically, typical vestibular autonomic symptoms, such as nausea, skin color, cold sweating, and salivation, were markedly alleviated during the aromatherapy mask phase.

Geranium eo 🍃🍃🍃

We know that hospital stays can ruin your sleep, and poor sleep directly delays healing and recovery. But researchers wanted to see if a simple, natural solution could help.

A recent clinical trial followed 72 patients hospitalized in a cardiac care unit. Half of the group had 3 drops of geranium essential oil added to a gauze pad inside their pillowcases for three nights. The results? The geranium group experienced a significant boost in overall sleep quality compared to those who didn't use it! 🌸

Sometimes, the smallest changes make the biggest difference in healing.

Rose 🌹🌹🌹

Rose may help maintain youthful skin! A nanogel containing rose essential oil showed superior protection against accelerated skin aging due to UV exposure by inhibiting collagen and elastin damage and protecting against oxidation (DPPH assay) when compared to the free essential oil. The nanogel also inhibited S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa. Further evaluation in a preclinical model, showed the nanogel reduces the formation of deep wrinkles.

Thieves 🍃🍃🍃

Pro tip!
Open a bottle of Thieves next time you chop onions and say goodbye to the burning and tears! You can also diffuse Thieves nearby for the same results.
When you slice an onion with a knife, you release amino acid sulfoxides, which then form sulfenic acids. These sulfenic acids then mix with enzymes (which formerly were kept separate) from the onion, creating and emitting an annoying chemical irritant called syn-propanethial-S-oxide (say that five times fast). This irritant stimulates the lachrymal glands in the eyes, causing them to gush tears and possibly feel a burning sensation.
