100 Essential Oils in 100 Days - Day 3 - Basil

Did you know... Italian women actually wore basil to attract possible suitors!

The origin of the word "Basil" actually came from the Greek word "basileum," which literally translates into the word "king." The Greeks actually referred to basil as the "king of all plants!"

This is actually is pretty neat to me, considering HOW MUCH basil can be used for! Some of the favorite uses for basil are to help refresh the mind and restore mental alertness, soothe and relax muscles, respiratory support, and coolant for the skin!

Basil essential oil is derrived from the steam distilled from the leaves, stems and flowers of the basil plant.

Young Living blends containing basil are Aroma Siez (FAVORITE!!!), Clarity and M-Grain. Those names give you a hint as to how AMAZING this stuff is?

Main systems it is used to support:
-Cardiovascular
-Muscle and Bone

And if that wasn't enough... Basil vitality essential oil is a MUST in your kitchen! You've not lived until you've had some Tomato Basil Soup made with this stuff!

100 Oils in 100 Days - Day 2 - Myrtle

Did you know that Myrtle was referred to in the Bible six times? In Esther 2:7, Esther is referred to as Hadassah which is the Hebrew name for Myrtle! To the ancient Jews, myrtle was symbolic of peace and justice. Also, the word Myrtle, derived from Latin, means "chaste beauty". Quite fitting for Esther's role, isn't it?

Myrtle oil is distilled from the leaves of the tree, and has been studied greatly for it's purification properties.

The chemistry of Myrtle oil is very close to that of Frankincense, and is supportive of the respiratory system, skin, and hair. In the past it has been researched for its effects on glandular imbalances. It is also helpful for meditation and lifting the spirit.

Did you know that many brides today still wear Myrtle as a symbol of innocence?

Isaiah 55:13
“Instead of the thorn bush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the LORD’s renown, for an everlasting sign, which will not be destroyed.”
Nehemiah 8:15
"Go forth onto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written".

Young Living blends contain Myrtle are: Breathe Again Roll-On, EndoFlex, Inspiration, JuvaTone, Mister, Prostate Health, Purification, R.C., SuperCal and Thyromin

Systems it supports:
-Respiratory System
-Digestive System
-Glandular/Hormonal Balance
-Muscle and Bone

In honor of this blog kick-off I am doing an UNBELIEVABLE giveaway! :D

Stay tuned for some more information...

One of the main reasons we turn to essential oils for the health and wellness of our homes is because of our family! Well what better way to get started than to offer some gifts to support our kids health and wellness!

Debra Raybern is who I like to think of as the queen of oily babies! :D She uses essential oils in such a knowledgeable and loving way for her family and blessed us greatly by writing a book about all that she has learned! From specific suggestions to encouragement in mixing your own blends to support health through pregnancy, child birth, and infant and toddler years, Debra imparts a wealth of knowledge in her book Gentle Babies.

Young Living has a line of essential oils called KidScents that are specially formulated and pre-diluted to be used straight from the bottle to your kids! Owie is just one of six AMAZING blends we can use on our kids with confidence! The titles of each blend gives you a pretty good idea on how each one is used!

Owie is one of the favorites of our Young Living mothers and one that is carried around consistently in purse or diaper bag! :D

Did You Know....

Young Living is so much more than an opportunity to promote health in our homes, but is also a way to provide for our healthy habits through the generous benefits that come with sharing!

I'm not talking about "the business side of Young Living" here, but doing something as simple as telling someone about your favorite restaurant, discount store, or new cleaner! When you find something that works, you want to share about it, and many times insist your family and friends try it! It is the exact same thing when it comes to Young Living. You know how much you love them, so why are you keeping your friends from loving them too?? :D

Just a fun little fact... I was amazed to find out how many people wasted such a vast amount of time on facebook games and such. This was the resulting graphic that sprung out of that information!
