Diffusing essential oils is one of the best ways to enjoy the benefits of essential oils. Another article will provide more information on diffusers but for now the following comments are helpful to those who diffuse and are being challenged by diffuser performance:

“If you have had your diffuser for a year or more and have used it often, the diaphram in the pump that vibrates to push out the air might have gotten brittle and need to be replaced. If you want to test to see if your pump has lost its blowing power, take the air line off of the pump, leave it hooked to the diffuser, and blow really hard thru it and see if you can get the oil to diffuse into the air. If not, you have a clog. If so, you need the pump repair. The easiest thing is to take the pump, without the diffuser part, to your local pet store and see if they can order the new diaphram. They might be nice enough to replace it for you, but you can do it yourself just by looking at it and figuring it out. So of you do the needle in the tiny hole in the nozzle trick and it doesn’t help, take a look at your pump. A diaphram is alot cheaper than a new pump. Hope this helps”

“Thieves Cleaner cleans mine out, but before we had
Thieves Cleaner, I used vodka. It might be worth a
try. It could also be that the pump doesn’t produce
enough “umph” to push the spray out the top. Maybe
you could buy a new pump. The pet stores have some
you might be able to use. It’s what they use in fish
tanks.”

“I stuck the end of a toothpick in the tiny hole in the metal below the glass
piece and that apparently cleared it out as it’s been working ever since.”

The following is a selection of recent comments where people are sharing experiences being part of Young Living Essential Oils:

“Of course the oils are excellent, but it is the surprises that always get
me. I was giving a nutrition talk and I had wolfberries in one of my
recipes which I was sharing. I was sure I did not want to mix business at
this talk and when someone asked where I got the wolfberries, I froze. I
asked the administrator if I could mention a multilevel marketing company.
The answer was yes. So I mention Young Living. A woman called out, ” Oh I
want to talk to you after as I have been wanting to sign up for a long
time.” She signed up and brought in people immediately, even attended the
last conference!! You never know huh.”

“I recently had a client who ordered Ortho Sport for her husbands knee and was rubbing it in every evening. One day she noticed her thumb, which had been frozen for 20 years, was bending easily. She said the only thing different was the Ortho Sport. Just love it when it does that!!”

“Well, here is another “Instant Response” to the oils: I am a healing touch practitioner. As my client pay on the massage table, I assessed her chakra system using a pendulum so that she could see which chakras were compromised and which were open and active prior to treatment. Four of the seven were blocked.

I asked the pendulum which oils to use for her. The answer was Thieves. So I put a drop on each hand and she rubbed her hands together, inhaled the aroma and I pendled again. All of her energy centers were now open.

Proof positive of the power of the oils.”

“For years I had joined in many home parties for many different
products and so, when I became an oiler in fall of 1996, I decided to do an
oil party fashioned on the Tupperware parties which I had attended many times.
(I believe that I was the first oiler to do that.) So, a bunch of women met
at my neighbor’s home to sniffed and dabbed on the Essential 7 and as said,
I was really new to Young Living Essential Oils and almost no literature was available, but I had the tape and took my program from it with Tupperware techniques applied.

We had such a good time that we forgot to head home before her husband came
home. The first thing he said was that he had a splitting headache and hoped
we’d all be out of there fast. I offered him some peppermint oil and Panaway
(it’s name then) and before we had gathered all our things and were out the
door, he came back out from his bedroom and told us that “amazingly” his
headache was gone and what was the hurry to leave. Needless to say, my business
got a good boost with that party and the additional others booked from it.

Every time, one could offer an oil and experience people’s reaction when
they had almost instant results was so great and of course, still is. That’s
what I love more than anything is to see people’s reactions to the fast results.

Another great thing, I believe, is rather unique to this company is the
comradery among ALL the members, regardless of the legs we are in. I have so many
friends among you all who are not in my downline, and yet, I love you as
much as those in my downline simply because you are fun folks to be with.”

We use the essential oil of lemon the following ways:

1. A drop of lemon oil per gallon in any well water we store to keep bacteria and algae
from developing (even though it goes through a top quality filter first).

2. In a spray bottle to wash vegetables.(Editor’s note: I use about 16 drops of the essential oil of lemon in a quart size spray bottle for vegitables and cleaning.)

3. In a spray bottle to clean house, spray the air, and wash windows.
(Thieves Cleaner is also GREAT for washing windows.) Also great for
cleaning inside of car and car windows. We take it on car trips with paper
towels.

3. 10 drops in a capsule along with 3 drops oregano oil if a cold or bug is
trying to us.

4. Lemon oil can be diffused. We were told a few years back that some
European hospitals diffuse lemon oil in the air to kill germs.

5. I use either lemon oil or organic fresh lemon juice in my first glasses
of water in the morning.

Elaine writes:

I use LEMON oil all the time. I wash my fruits and veggies with
it, I put at least 2 drops in each quart of water I drink, I put 2 or
3 drops in capsules with oregano and Frankincense to ward off any
hints of not feeling up to par, and I have a least 3 bottles on my
AutoShip each month for diffusing. IT’S A GREAT OIL and I wouldn’t be
without it. The other benefit is: it’s inexpensive by comparison!
Have a wonderful day!

Original Recipe by April Travis

(Makes 6-7 dozen depending on the size you want them;
I like ‘em big!)

Ingredients:
2 cups non GMO butter (1 lb. or 4 cubes)
12 ozs cold pressed organic honey
12 ozs Young Living Agave
4 organic brown free range eggs
6 cups sifted whole grain flour (King Arthur stone ground is great -
5 lb bag will do it)
2 tsp. allspice
4 tsp. cinnamon
3 drops Young Living cinnamon bark oil – Cinnamomum Verum)
2 tsp. cloves
3 drops Young Living clove oil – Syzygium Aromaticum)
3 drops Young Living Thieves oil blend
2 tsp. sea salt
4 tsp. baking soda
1 1/3 cups goat milk
4 cups organic raisins
7 cups oatmeal
7 cups organic walnuts (halves)
2 tsp. vanilla

Cream together butter, honey/agave, and eggs and set aside.
Sift flour then measure.
Sift together flour, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, salt and baking
soda.
Stir dry ingredients into creamed mixture.
Preheat oven to 375.
Mix in milk, vanilla and essential oils.
Stir in raisins, walnuts and oatmeal.
Drop by well-rounded tablespoons onto greased cookie sheet.
(I prefer to hand roll them perfectly round. Dust your hands with
dry flour as needed so the dough doesn’t stick to you hands.)
Bake at 375 for 17-19 minutes.

Here is the question:

I’ve got a sore throat but only on one side and the pain goes up
towards my ear just a little. This is over a week now. I’ve been doing
oregano, thieves and frankincense. I’ve also used myrrh once. I’ve
taken the formula in a capsule and I’ve gargled with thieves in water.
It’s not going away. Any suggestions?

And a couple of the responses:

I’d try rosemary down the eustation tube area, behind the ear down
along the jawline. Just rub it all over your head! *grin* Rosemary is my
new favorite, it’s helped when other things didn’t with sinus, breathing,
etc.

Also, I put either 3 drops of hyssop or thieves (or both!) in a french
press of tea. The thieves tastes better but either is very soothing to a
sore throat.

________

I’d add a good old fashioned salt water gargle to the
mix, a few times a day. I also see you putting oils on
your neck, and wrapping it in a hot compress, sitting
in the comfiest chair you have, covering with a soft
cozy blanket, putting your feet up, laying your head
back and visualizing ….

_____________
I’ve had some lumps in my throat lately, as well. I had gone to the ER once, and they said I had pharyngitis. (inflammation of the pharynx)…well anyway, I was on Pennicillin, and when the ‘lump’ came back, I did NOT want to use the Penn. again. So, I took what oils I had left of my essential 7 from my dist. kit, Purification and Frankincense. I had a little of each left.

I took a cotton ball and dabbed Purification 2 drops on it, then swiped the ‘vents’ of my Cool-Air Humidifier and carefully stuck the cotton ball in the vent (not getting caught in the fan) and left the humidifier on all night. I did this procedure about 15 min. before going to bed and closed my bedroom door. When I went in to go to bed, my room was filled with Purification and it wasn’t so dry b/c of the humidifier. 2 for 1!

I also took Frankincense (actually mixed it with some olive oil) and added it to a cup of hot tea. I could tell after 1 cup my throat was feeling better, but I was desperate for immediate response. I made another cup of tea and added more Frankincense mixture (about 1-2 teaspoons!) and drank the second cup. I will not kid you, I was feeling better after that second cup! I slowly sipped both and made sure they were both almost piping hot.

I’ve also taken pure thieves and put 1-2 drops on a tablespoon of honey and ate it that way. I did this 3 times a day and the following morning, no lump in my throat!
