​Young Living’s Thieves essential oil blend was created based on the historical account of four thieves in France who protected themselves from the Black Plague with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing victims of the killer disease. When captured, they were offered a lighter sentence in exchange for their secret recipe. Young Living’s proprietary Thieves essential oil blend includes clove, cinnamon bark, rosemary, lemon, and Eucalyptus Radiata and has been specially blended to offer the same kind of defense. Thieves has been university tested and found to be highly effective against airborne bacteria.

A mixture of essential oils can provide therapy whether it is  burned or diffused. It will be burned by using incense and diffused by way of a variety of methods, popularly known as aromatherapy. Here we will discuss the difference between the two ways and how it can be beneficial for your body. We will also discuss what will be the most appropriate type of aromatherapy in accordance to your desired ways for healing to take place.


First of all, what is incense? Incense has been used and burned for thousands of years by different cultures all around the world. It is mainly coming from a mixture of aromatic plants, herbs and some essential oils extracted from those herbs. With the discharge of the aroma or its smell, when being burned, it is believed to have therapeutic claims.


On the other hand, diffusing essential oils by several methods (which will be discussed later) emits a certain aroma has healing effects. There are several methods of essential oil diffusion and they are as follows:

• Cold Air Diffusers. Also known as Nebulizers - adapts the principle of operation of an atomizer. The oils are forced through a pinhole by way of a stream of high pressure air. This will produce a very fine vapor that contains the oil in liquid form, and will be suspended in air for a time. Due to the oil suspension at high velocity, the energy levels will also increase which will then raise the healing potential of the essential oil on this state.
• Ultrasonic Diffuser. This method of diffuser operates by breaking up water and the essential oils through the principle of atomization. This will then create microscopic molecules and eventually create mist.

Is there a difference between the two methods of diffusing in terms of healing or therapy? There is actually none in terms of that aspect. The main difference of the two is the manner of diffusion of the essential oils. Cold Air diffusers tend to emit a sound while in operation while ultrasonic diffusers are very quiet. If you are using diffusers usually at night time and are very sensitive in terms of any kind of noise while sleeping, it would be best to use an Ultrasonic Diffuser.


The critical difference between diffusing essential oils and burning incense is that burning incense emits smoke, which is similar to tobacco smoke or a wood smoke, a proven carcinogen. According to several researchers, the smoke that was emitted from burning incense contains air pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Oxides, Sulphur Oxides and some Volatile Organic Compounds. Though it is a fact that burning incense produces smoke that contains harmful air pollutants, it is not yet proven whether consistent inhaling smoke from burning incense can affect bodies rather than heal them. Some suggest that incense should be burned in a well ventilated room and should not be inhaled excessively. On the other hand, diffusing essential oils back in the days are similar to burning incense as the essential oils used to be diffused by way of potpourri or the candle method (by introducing fire to the essential oils, which also emits smoke). Nowadays, as mentioned above, Ultrasonic Diffusers and Air Diffusers have eliminated the emission of smoke, thus creating a difference between the two types of aromatherapy.
 
In terms of the choice of aromatherapy method between burning Incense and diffusing essential oils, some factors and differences vary from each user. It means that it will still depend on the way you want them to be. Burning incense, apart from producing smoke while in operation, should be used on some special circumstances (such as using them on a well ventilated room) and apart from it, it is potentially using up the essential oils during the burning process. This could mean that the therapeutic process is not actually efficient. This is in contrast with the modern diffusing method (Ultrasonic and Air), wherein it is not wasting the essential oils while in operation rather it is fairly suspended in the air creating a more effective therapy method. If the main aim of the use of these essential oils is to deodorize the room through its emission of pleasant odors, then by all means, please use incense sticks and burn them (even diffuse the essential oils use by introducing fire also known as the candle method). But if you do want to use these essential oils as a deodorizer as well as for therapy, then the better method to use is the modern diffusion of essential oils. 

It is advised to use essential oils, when using a diffuser, only 20 minutes per hour and no more.

In my opinion, I like the diffusing method provided by Young Living because their diffusers are of high quality and in different price ranges. To me, diffusing essential oils is a cleaner way to go rather than inhaling smoke.  Check them out here and see if any of them will work for you.

Spring means rebirth and this month she arrives when streams are ripe and swelled with rain and till May she will stay. Autumn is when she dies and then winter is when she hibernates till Spring comes back with sun and green and great exuberance to wake her up again! Isn’t the cycle of life simply and gloriously marvelous!

Spring is time for all-out cleaning to get rid of the dank and damp as well as the toxins that have accumulated - creating a heavy air inside and around the house and your loved ones in it. Spring signals rebirthing. It signals a time for protecting your home with essential oils. Bring nature out of your bottles and start dispersing life the natural and safe way with homemade cleaning products for a sparklingly clean house and healthy auras for everyone.

You can make your own cleaning products using our essential oils. No dangerous and bad-smelling chemicals this way. We can use lots of vinegar, lemon, soap, salt, water and baking soda but no imitation scents that intoxicate the liver and lungs. For essential oils, we recommend adding a few drops to your homemade cleaning solution to create a clean and green scent all over your home.

Let natural be the chemical free scour and polish for your toilet bowl, cutting boards, furniture, floors, walls, windows, comforters, clothes, and even inside your car. Add a few drops of natural Essential Oils for that pure and refreshing, sparkling essence of cilantro, grapefruit, vanilla, tea tree, lemon.

These oils not only clean and remove stains, they are also natural anti-microbials and anti-bacterials.  They are often times more powerful than dangerous chemicals, that they clean better, remove smells better and leave a fabulous aroma after cleaning, and as a bonus, they also disinfect. Let’s take a look at some of them:

Essential Citrus Oils – Citrus Fresh, Lemon - these are extracted from real lemons and is often the favorite of most home owners. Guaranteed to enliven your home. Just add a few drops to your baking soda or to a pail of water for mopping. It also dazzles your laundry.

Tea Tree, Lavender and Cedar oils – are perfect for your furniture especially your upholstery. Two drops in a spray bottle with distilled water and some alcohol will leave your fabric smelling clean and fresh.

Eucalyptus, Citrus, and Camphor Oils – are perfect for your books and bookcases and cabinets which have collected dust and molds during winter. A few drops in a paper bag filled with newspaper and kitty litter for a couple of days will give your books that fresh and clean smell. For mold and mildew, the most trusted is water with white vinegar mixture but white vinegar is not too pleasant to smell so we recommend adding these oils to bring back the fun in your home's library.

Peppermint Oil is perfect as an anti-bacterial solution. Add this to your vinegar-water solution and squirt over your sink, toilet bowl, tiles and kitchen surfaces. Rats and cockroaches also are terrified of peppermint so they stay away.

Tea Tree Oil has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal as well as antiseptic properties. 2 teaspoons to a glass or stainless spray bottle will clear away the gunk that has accumulated in your bathroom and shower areas. It is medicinal and has a lovely smell and should be used all over your home. You can even add it to your laundry detergent for a clean and healthy smelling load of clothes.

For a good night’s sleep, just add two drops of roman chamomile, lavender, marjoram, clary sage and lindenberry into your humidifier or add it to your laundry detergent for sweet smelling linen and a good night’s sleep.

For a romantic evening, use the scent of our essential rose, rosewood, ylang ylang, jasmine or geranium. They are mild but effective aphrodisiacs!!

More Uses
Use a few drops of citrus, spruce, cypress, pine, sandalwood or birch on a pan of baking soda to remove the sooty smell of your fireplace. And before storing winter clothes in their boxes, do not use moth-balls. Use instead a few drops of cedarwood. rose, lavender or geranium on an old sock ball to keep pests away.

There are a hundred household uses of essential oils. For the body, which has become adjusted to the cold climate of winter, get ready for the warmer months by massaging your muscles and joints with one or a combination of  olive oil, eucalyptus, tea tree, chamomile, juniper, cypress, spruce and black pepper. For mental clarity and stimulation, peppermint, lemon, basil, tea tree or cypress would be perfect.

The seventh chakra, the crown chakra, is centered at the widest spot of the fontanelle that you had as a baby.  Associated with the pituitary gland, the seventh is your instrument of direct communication with the Divine.  This communication stimulates your evolution toward at-one-ment is mostly temporary.  However, it grows more and more lasting as your seventh chakra becomes open, clear and active.  Your consciousness becomes such that you comprehend the variety and complexity as well as the connectedness of all things.  You are in wakeful contact with each plane of your existence, and have the integrity and courage to deeply examine each of your inner worlds.  Your personality is also very strong, yet gentle.  You're able to manage earthly elements and to flow with forces beyond our earth, yet you do so with ample kindness for humanity.  Meanwhile you maintain a rather detached perspective on yourself and your many little ways.  At the time of your death you remain totally aware, knowing that you are dying and going ahead with it anyhow.  

The evolved consciousness of an open crown chakra, together with good function and balance in the other major centers, may be called self-realization.  Self-realization does not come about unless all the chakras are equally active.  One may have a wide-open seventh, but rarely will one be able to take responsibility for mundane tasks.  There are others who may be creative geniuses, whose seventh, sixth, and fifth are their only fully functional chakras and who consequently require someone else to look after them and care for their earthly needs. Kind of likened to the "absent minded professor."

When the seventh chakra is closed up, you create or perpetuate a condition of limited growth.  In some cultures, men and women alike wear head coverings that tend to restrict seventh-chakra activity and curtail personal unfolding.  To keep on living a limited life is the most severe form of inner dishonesty and delusion.  For many people the only experience of access to the Source occurs at the moment of death.

A closed seventh leads both to a fear of dying and a fear of enjoying life.  The delusion takes hold that if you really enjoy life, you're bound to lose it.  So you cling to the closed attitude that "life is suffering, and then you die."  This delusion can be likened to someone with a victim mentality.

Few of us are clear in the seventh chakra.  For some of us, it's enough merely to be aware of the fact that we have a seventh chakra.  To take the first steps toward opening and using the seventh calls for great courage and dedication, because there's no turning back.  Once you begin the process, you'll never again be content with devoting yourself to conventional, mundane goals for their own sake.  No degree of wealth or status or worldly achievement will give you a sense of fulfillment, unless you can manage this while realizing your seventh-chakra perceptions and priorities.

It's far preferable to open the seventh very gradually, by the natural means of meditation, prayer, essential oils, and the use of crystals.  As you do so, meanness and selfish ambition melts away.  You'll find it increasingly difficult to act "unconsciously" or "with diminished capacity," above all toward another person.  This doesn't mean that you refrain from anger and other strong emotions.  It means you are able to use anger appropriately and constructively as a tool for self-defense or for sparking another person's higher self.

When you start living your life according to seventh-chakra consciousness, you enter into the realm of unconditional love - within yourself and with other sentient beings.  Unconditional love is the greatest power in the Universe.  It burns negative karma and can enable you to do ten years' worth of growing in a fraction of that time. 

For opening and balancing the crown chakra, the most recommended single oils include: .  Oil blends include: Frankincense, Myrrh, Jasmine, and Lavender.  Oil Blends that are highly recommended are 3 Wise Men, Gathering, Inspiration.  Apply one drop with one drop carrier oil on the top of the head.

Young Living Essential Oils is about health and how essential oils like Basil, Geranium, Eucalyptus and other Aromatherapy Oils sooth, clear, rejuvenate, stimulate, and even strengthen mental focus and concentration.  How essential oils affect deeply has been proven time and again and these days, more and more people resort to oils instead of drugs, knowing that oils go beyond merely relieving a person of the symptoms of disease. They go deep into chakra levels to balance energies that overburden or under-utilize the physical body.

You can use essential oils that rejuvenate and give the body a boost of energy after a long day’s exposure to the pain of fatigue. Of course, prevention is still the best cure, and there are oils for that, but for the average human, one cannot avoid exposure due to the need to earn a living or when we take on stress in any way.

Essential oils hydrate, oxygenate and detoxify by boosting circulation and minimizing obstructions. They are not invasive but will penetrate the skin, rather quickly, and enter the bloodstream without hampering the natural functioning of the other organs of the human body. They only require delicate application, sometimes by mere smelling, and will still be powerful and effective especially when it comes to dealing with stress-related physical ailments. They can calm the heart while boosting circulation. They can improve and enhance digestion and liver functioning and one very interesting benefit is how oils affect the chakra and energy balance in the body. 

Oils have a direct connection to yoga and yoga techniques in that they help achieve what yoga wants to accomplish, via the asana and meditative practices, for energy balance in the body. Yoga and essential oils, together, will give the practitioner a myriad of physical, spiritual and mental benefits that shame the way drugs work. Oils are natural and there are increasing indications of appreciation in the use of what is natural in the body. Oils have been used for thousands of years in Yoga practicing countries, as well as in many parts of the world, for health and to bring balance in the chakra system. When mixed with coconut or olive oil, to rub the feet or the physical locations of the chakra, they’ve been known to promote mental peace and interior balance and therefore heightened spirituality. When used for meditation, these oils enhance tranquility and the practitioner of yoga is able to achieve concentration quickly and with ease.

• For the root chakra – use patchouli for grounding and stability
• For the Sacral Chakra – use sandalwood and Ylang-Ylang for improved sexuality and reproductive system as well as creativity.
• For the Solar Plexus chakra, use cinnamon for improved self-confidence
• For the Heart Chakra, use rose for combating depression and enhancing sleep.
• For the Throat Chakra, use eucalyptus to clear the sinuses and enhance self-expression.
• For the Third Eye, use lavender for instant calm. Also great for headaches and spiritual enhancement.
• For the crown Chakra, frankincense for mental peace and clarity and a heightened sense of oneness with the universe.

Aromatherapy oils trigger the limbic factor in the brain which is connected to memory.  When used repeatedly, aromatherapy oils work more and more effectively because the body automatically responds with every new application. Thus, merely smelling this oil creates a soothing, rejuvenating and clearing effect, in addition to its numerous dermatological benefits.  For instance, lavender creates an instant calming effect and can be an antiseptic that protects the skin naturally. Another is Tea Tree which is also an antiseptic with powerful aroma-therapeutic effects. I say powerful because the essences of these oils go into the bloodstream and urinalysis will reveal the depth of their penetration.

Here are some oils that affect the mind and body. 

1. Basil sparingly applied – is best for concentration and mental stimulation
2. Eucalyptus - excellent for mental stimulation, concentration, and for combating fatigue and rheumatic pain
3. Geranium - The aroma of Geranium instantly lifts the emotions from suffering anxiety thereby balancing the mind that is frequently bombarded by stress.
4. Peppermint - for the relief of mental fatigue
5. Rosemary - a stimulant for memory and brain enhancement.  Best used in the morning but should be avoided by pregnant women, people with hypertension, and epilepsy.

Merely smelling these oils, using a cotton ball or tissue or directly from the container will provide great benefits.  Some people use these oils as perfumes and apply wherever they wish.

At Young Living we believe in the holistic approach to health.  Oils are safe, effective, and natural when applied according to directions.

Spring cleaning isn't just for the home, it can also be done to our bodies once in a while. Detoxifying is one of the best ways to clean out the toxins and most of the time it is done to keep organs working great as well as keeping toxin levels to an all-time low. Some do it to get rid of negative vibes, some detox to lose weight, while some people do it just to be fit and healthy.

Nowadays, our way of living (no matter how clean we choose to live) contributes to the level of toxins our body accumulates over time. It is only fair that we detox once in a while so we enjoy more energy and overall wellbeing - which is also good for one’s mental health.

Detoxifying with essential oils is one of the most relaxing ways to do it.  Knowing the right kind of oils to use will make you feel better physically, emotionally and mentally - way better than popping a pill in your mouth.

The following are the kinds of oils you can use to help yourself detoxify:

Juniper Oil
Has a great antioxidant property. Keeps the digestive system working smoothly. Juniper oil relaxes the mind so you can sit back and chill while getting rid of pain. When it comes to its diuretic magic, it helps get rid of toxins, water weight and too much sodium in the body.


Peppermint Oil
Commonly used in the baths, consumed orally and applied on skin. Some choose to drink it with their detox smoothie and sometimes adding it to water works just as well. It keeps and maintains your level of concentration and helps soothe the digestive system.  Frequently mixed with other oils for better results.

Grapefruit Oil
Though most are used to eating the fruit itself, the oil helps the body better especially when it comes to detoxifying. It is known to kill viruses in the body as well as the microbes. Like any detox oil, it also cleans the body by getting rid of all the toxins and wastes.

Rosemary Oil
Not only is it an amazing herb to use when cooking but its oil has amazing detox effects as well.  It helps improve one’s digestion, circulation, has anti-inflammatory benefits as well diuretic properties. It is known to ward off cancer and memory loss. You can inhale the oil (by aromatherapy), use it in a bath or use it as massage oil.

Orange Oil
Orange isn’t just for quenching your thirst; its oil is highly beneficial as well.  It helps relax muscular and nervous spasms, provides relief from inflammations and it even increases one's libido. It boosts one's immunity, gets rid of toxins by promoting urination and constipation. 

Lemon Oil
Known to have astringent properties that lemon has been known to have, it has the ability to prevent cancer, clean the lymphatic system as well as the respiratory system. It can reduce inflammation as well. Adding the oil in baths or in detox shakes adds that zest to keep you going.

Patchouli Oil
This oil is known to help boost ones mood and can even improve one’s sex life. Add this oil to water or tea and even in your bath, with epsom salt, and let it soothe your mind. 

Hyssop Oil
Its greatest benefit is for your digestive system because it sorts out the problem and it helps improve digestion.   It is a great way to kick-start your detox day.

Helichrysum Oil
Most of this oil’s benefit is for the skin because it keeps it healthy and hydrated as possible. It aids in regenerating cells as well as lowering the amount of inflammation on one’s body.

JuvaCleanse Oil
JuvaCleanse oil is a mix of Helichrysum, Ledum, and Celery oil. This blend is used to improve liver functions by cleaning it as well as keeping the skin and nervous system in tip top shape. Detoxifying using this oil will not only help your body but will also harmonize and balance the mind. This is one of my all-time favorite oils!

The sixth chakra (the third eye) is your line to creative energy, and to the kind of comprehension that transcends intellectual knowing.  Its two principle functions are intuition and inspiration - access to knowledge that is not learned externally, hunches and visions beyond the reach of the five senses.  The sixth is therefore the main channel for all the creative arts.  Though sixth-chakra impressions are primarily pictorial, the sixth also acts in combination with the other chakras to turn concepts into worldly reality.  The sixth and fifth, working together, enable you to hear original melodies and songs in addition, to details of songs remembered.  When you dance with an open sixth, you are the dance - creativity in physical motion.  The energy just pours through you.

Since the sixth chakra is the organ of subliminal vision, the way to "see" past, present, future,  and entities on the "other side" is through the third eye.  When the sixth is open and balanced, clairvoyance results.  Those who wish their psychic and creative abilities to expand are advised to work slowly and lovingly at opening the sixth for themselves.  On the other hand, consistent failure to honor one's intuitions inevitably causes a shrinking of the sixth.

Blockage of the sixth chakra can lead to an ultra-rational attitude, or, in combination with a restricted first chakra (root) to a diminished and negative self-image.  Hallucinations and spiritual exhibitionism are symptoms of imbalance.  Excess is personified by the "God-playing Guru, or by the kind of person who is both intensely overbearing and psychically sapping. In our culture, people routinely fog up and impair their sixth chakra envisioning by steady use of alcohol and/or processed tobacco.

It's very difficult to keep in touch with your own intuition unless you remain clear and receptive in your third-eye chakra.  Almost all the messages you send and receive are interpreted through the sixth.  So it's of utmost importance that you develop it and protect it.  Once you begin developing and protecting it, you'll be able to open up your third eye with full confidence that you won't be invaded or hurt.

With respect to your general well-being it isn't necessary that you have perfect balance in the sixth chakra, or in any of the chakras.  Certainly you'll want to keep advancing toward this end, but in the meantime perfection is not a prerequisite to accessing your third eye.  I encourage you to utilize the powers of the sixth chakra to the best of your capacity.  On that note, here are the oils that will best help you open and balance the third-eye (sixth) chakra:

Single Oils include: Lavender, Rosemary, Clary Sage, Patchouli, Helichrysum.  Oil blends include: White Angelica, Awaken, Dream Catcher, Transformation.  Apply one drop with one drop carrier oil between the eyebrows.
