►Young Living Essential Oils >> Healing Oils

Many people are mislead purchasing essential oils that are labeled “100% Pure” and “Organic”.    Yea; that one-drop or small percentage of essential oil in that bottle may be 100% pure and organic, then fillers (chemicals) are added to fill up the remainder of the bottle!  These lesser quality of oils can be detrimental to your health and may cause serious unwanted side effects.  There is very little regulation on  labeling of natural substances in the USA..

Only Therapeutic Grade oils carry frequency, and have the full health benefits. There are three grades of essential oils; Grade A, B and C.  Over 90% of the essential oils in this country are of the lower grades (perfume & food grades). 

Grade C – Perfume grade, may contain adulterating chemicals, solvents—often cancer causing.

Grade B – Food grade, may contain synthethics, pesticides, fertilizers, extenders, or carrier oils.

Grade A – Not necessarily therapeutic, but distilled appropriately.

Therapeutic-Grade – Only 2% of essential oils marketed world wide are of a high enough quality to earn this term.

Independent laboratory testing proves that Young Living essential oils meet and often exceed industry requirements, and as stewards of nature's  plant remedies, Young Living maintains higher internal standards, build upon the magnitude of their own rigorous quality assurance requirements.  This standard is know as "therapeutic-grade".  In order to achieve therapeutic-grade classification, each essential oil must achieve the designation naturally, without excess manipulation and refinement, and meet specific criteria in four key areas:  Plants, Preparation, Purity, and Potency.

Young Living Essential Oils are Therapeutic Grade passing the highest standards of AFNOR (Association French Normalization Organization Regulation) and ISO (International standards Organization) standards. This standard is more stringent and differentiates true therapeutic grade essential oils from similar Grade A essential oils with inferior chemistry.  In order to gain the AFNOR stamp of approval, the oils must be tested by the French laboratories.  A third standard considered the "gold standard" now for essential oils in the European Community (EC) stantard.

For example, the AFNOR standard for Lavandula angustifolia (true lavender) dicates that the level of linalool should range from 25-38% and the level of linalyl accetate should range between 25-34%.  As long as the oil's marker compounds are within the specified ranges, it can be recognized as a TRUE therapeutic-grade essential oil.  However, Young Living's standards are much higher...

Young Living oils have reached an outstanding high of 72% lanlyl acetate.

Only 2% of marketed essential oils are therapeutic-grade. The most reliable indicator of therapeutic-value is AFNOR certification which differentiates true therapeutic-grade essential oils from Grade A oils that have inferior chemistry.

Even that 10% (of said Therapeutic) is probably not therapeutic.  Most plants are subjected to toxic herbicides and pesticides and then harvested at the wrong time.  The are then distilled under high pressure and high temperature with the aid of chemicals in aluminum distillers.  The final product is stored in aluminum or containers that alter the chemical properties of the essential oils.

"Young Living has united modern stainless steel technology (to prevent chemical reactions of oils to metal) with Old-World gentle distilling techniques to create full-bodied essential oils that are far different from what we normally see."

– James Kababick, Director
Flora Research (Independent analytical lab)

Take for instance in the distillation of therapeutic essential oils. It is very crucial that they are distilled at low temperature and low pressure or it will fracture the molecule. When that happens then you no longer have therapeutic essential oil. Also the length of time in distilling is very important. Let's talk about Cypress for instance`: It has 280 properties. If it is distilled for 20 hours you only get 20 of the 280 properties. If distilled for 26 hours you get 0 properties. Distilled 24 hour, which is the correct length of time for distilling cypress, you will get the full 280 properties. Most distillers distill cypress for 3 1/2 hours.

Young Living aromatic plant extracts contain mosaics of hundreds, even thousands of constituents developed by nature over eons of time to benefit both the plant itself and other forms of life.  More potent than dried herbs, these essential oils are the ultimate in natural healthcare.

Benefits of Pure "Therapeutic-Grade" Essential Oils

• Therapeutic-Grade essential oils are the regenerating, oxygenating, and immune defense properties of plants

• Therapeutic-Grade essential oils are so small in molecular size that they can quickly penetrate the tissues of the skin.

• Therapeutic-Grade essential oils are lipid soluble and are capable of penetrating cell walls, even if they have hardened because of an oxygen deficiency.  In fact, Therapeutic Grade essential oils can affect every cell of the body within 20 minutes and are then metabolized like other nutrients.

• Therapeutic-Grade essential oils contain oxygen molecules which help to transport nutrients to the starving human cells.  Because a nutritional deficiency is an oxygen deficiency, disease begins when the cells lack the oxygen for proper nutrient assimilation.  By providing the needed oxygen, Therapeutic Grade essential oils also work to stimulate the immune system.

• Therapeutic-Grade essential oils are very powerful antioxidants.  Antioxidants create an unfriendly environment for free radicals.  They prevent all mutations, work as free radical scavengers, prevent fungus, and prevent oxidation in the cells.

• Therapeutic-Grade essential oils are anti-bacterial, anti-cancerous, anti-fungal, anti-infectious, anti-microbial, anti-tumoral, anti-parasitic, anti-viral, and antiseptic.  Therapeutic Grade essential oils have been shown to destroy all tested bacteria and viruses while simultaneously restoring balance to the body.

• Therapeutic-Grade essential oils may detoxify the cells and blood in the body.

• Therapeutic-Grade essential oils containing sesquiterpenes have the ability to pass the blood brain barrier, enabling them to be effective in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, Lou Gehrig's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis.

• Therapeutic-Grade essential oils are aromatic.  When diffused they can stay suspended into the air for hours and provide air purification by:

-Removing metallic particles and toxins from the air;

-Increasing atmospheric oxygen;

-Increasing ozone and negative ions in the area, which inhibits bacterial growth;

-Destroying odors from mold, cigarettes, and animals; and

-Filling the air with fresh, aromatic scent.

• Therapeutic-Grade essential oils help promote emotional, physical, and spiritual healing.

Therapeutic-Grade essential oils have a bio-electrical frequency that is several times greater than the frequency of herbs, food, and even the human body.  Clinical research has shown that Therapeutic-Grade essential oils can quickly raise the frequency of the human body, restoring it to its normal, healthy level. 

What is an essential oil?

Poetically called the "life force" or "blood" of a plant, essential oils are very complex.  Essential oils are stored in special cells, ducts, or glandular hairs that are distributed among the roots, leaves, bark stems, and flowers of the plant. 

Essential oils protect the plant from insects and other herbivores, from bacteria, molds, fungi, and other microorganisms, and also helps to heal inflicted wounds.  These unique characteristics make essential oils highly beneficial to humankind too.

A single oil may contain hundreds of constituents that are molecularly aligned in exactly the right manner to trigger a number of responses in the human body.  Very concentrated and very powerful, a drop or two of distilled Therapeutic Grade essential oil produces quick and significant results—a unique gift from the plant world. 

History

According to the translation of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using oils thousands of years before the time of Christ.  There are 188 references to oils in the Bible.  Some precious oils, such as frankincense, myrrh, galbanum, rosemary, hyssop, cassia, cinnamon, and spikenard, were used for anointing and healing of the sick.  Biblical prophets recognized the use of essential oils as a protection for their bodies against the ravages of disease.  The wise men brought the oils of frankincense and myrrh to the Christ child.  Clinical research now shows that frankincense oil contains very high immune-stimulating properties.  The ancient process of oil distillation is a delicate and precise art that has been almost forgotten.  Science is just now rediscovering the healing substances of Therapeutic Grade essential oils that were used in ancient times and beginning to acknowledge their value. 

Why put essential oils in all your products?

One of the many incredible aspects of Therapeutic Grade essential oils is their amazing ability to penetrate and carry nutrients through the cell wall to the cell nucleus. They literally "fly" through the thickest cell walls. This is so due to the oxygenating molecules found in the Therapeutic Grade oils which transport the nutrients, then delivers them through the cell for feeding the nucleus. These oils are nature's most effective catalyst and delivery agent for feeding cells. 

Oils Vs. Herbs: herbs are good; however… When the plant is dehydrated, they loose much of the healing agents, such as oxygen. Cells need oxygen to rejuvenate the body. Therapeutic Grade essential oils have oxygenating molecules, ozone, negative ions, and frequency. Oils were mans first medicine....the Three Wise Men didn't bring baby Jesus herbs! Nor olive oil.  But essential oils of Myrrh and Frankincense.  Therapeutic Grade essential oils are 75 to 100 times more concentrated than the oils in dried herbs.

One drop of our Peppermint essential oil

 is equivalent to 26 cups of Peppermint Tea!

Frequency

According to Dr. Royal R. Rife, every disease has a frequency.  However, a substance with a higher frequency will destroy a disease of lower frequency.  Clinical research shows that Therapeutic Grade essential oils have the highest frequency of any substance known to man, creating an environment in which disease, bacteria, viruses, fungus, etc., cannot live.

Oxygen

Disease cannot exist in an oxygen rich environment.  Oxygen is needed for assimilation.  Oxygen is the delivery agent which carries the nutrients in the blood.  In order for cells to take on nutrients, the nutrients have to be able to pass through the cell wall in order to get to the nucleus where assimilation takes place,  The cell wall begins to mutate (harden) with as little as 1% drop in oxygen in the serum around the cell.  There are 5 stages of mutation leading to the development of degenerative diseases.

Therapeutic Grade essential oils are catalysts.  They are lipid soluble and can immediately penetrate the cell wall to bring oxygen and nutrients into the cell.  Jean Claude Lapraz, MD made the statement that essential oils may have the potential to increase cellular oxygen by 21%.  Independent laboratory studies showed that hydrogen peroxide had an oxygen potential to increase by 9.5%.  Therapeutic Grade essential oils carry oxygen, ozone and negative ions.  No other other component of a plant comes close!

Adulterated Oils and Their Dangers

Adulterated oils that are cut with synthetic extenders can be very detrimental, causing rashes, burning, and skin irritations. 

One woman who had heard of the ability of lavender oil to heal burns used "lavender oil" purchased from a local health food store when she spilled boiling water on her arm.  But the pain intensified and the burn worsened, so she later complained that lavender oil was worthless for healing burns.  When her "lavender" was analyzed, it was found to be lavandin, the hybrid lavender that is chemically very different from pure Lavandula angustifolia. Lavandin contains high levels of camphor (12-18 percent) and can itself burn the skin.  In contrast, true lavender contains virtually no camphor and has burn-healing agents not found in lavandin.

Petrochemical solvents, such diprogylene glycol and diethylphthalate, can all cause allergic reactions, besides being devoid of any therapeutic value.  "Nature-identical" essential oils which is a structured essential oil that has been chemically duplicated using 5 to 15 of the essential oil's chemical compounds in synthetic form, can produce unwanted side effects or toxicities.

Today much of the lavender oil sold in America is the hybrid called lavandin, grown and distilled in China, Russia, France, and Tasmania.  It is brought into France and cut with synthetic linalyl acetate to improve the fragrance.  Then propylene glycol, DEP, or DOP (solvents that have no smell and increase the volume) are added and it is sold in United States as lavender oil.

Often lavadin is heated to evaporate the camphor and then is adulterated with synthetic linalyl acetate.  Most consumers don't know the difference, and are happy to buy it for $7 to $10 per half ounce in health food stores, beauty salons, grocery and department stores, and through mail order.  This is one of the reasons why it is important  to know about the integrity of the company or vendor from which you purchase your essential oils.

Physicians and researchers should take note: The effectiveness of using Therapeutic Grade essential oils for health and well-being is not bound in folklore, but in hard copy research backed by over 6,000 years of use.

History richly records the use of organic Therapeutic Grade essential oil as a means to ward-off disease and illness. As modern day "super bugs" have their way with man-made treatments, more and more people are turning to the past to find the answers they seek for health and wellness. As they search, they are finding Therapeutic Grade essential oils to be the one source mankind has faithfully depended on over the millennium.

Therapeutic Grade essential oils can be used multiple ways;

 replacing many toxic products in your life.
