  2. If you have lingering food odors in your home, place a pot of water on your stove to simmer, then add a few drops of cinnamon, clove, or any citrus essential oil to clean the air.
  3. Get a fresh burst of clean scent every time you vacuum. Place a few drops of your favorite essential oil on a cotton ball, then drop it in your vacuum’s filter container or bag. You’ll get clean  and fresh air every time you vacuum.

  5. Add a few drops of lemon essential oil to your dish sponge after every few uses to keep it fresh and disinfected.
  6. Create your own pet deodorizer spray. Fill a small spray bottle with apple cider vinegar, then mix in ten drops of lemon, lavender, or geranium essential oil. Shake well, then spritz on carpet, pet bedding, in the air, or anywhere pet odors are a problem.
  7. Kill mold spores in the air by using tea tree oil in your favorite diffuser.
  8. You can use lemon or orange essential oil to dissolve sticky or stubborn substances. Add a few drops to glue, chewing gum, wax, or other hard-to-remove stains, and rub.
  9. Create a homemade countertop disinfectant by combining three ounces of warm water with three drops each of tea tree oil and lemon oil in a spray bottle. Use this to spray countertops to create a germ-free kitchen.
  10. Make your own produce wash using grapefruit or lemon essential oil. Add water to a large bowl or your sink, add several drops of oil, then soak or rinse fruits and vegetables before storing them in your refrigerator.
  11. Remove soap scum from your shower naturally. In a large spray bottle, add four drops of tea tree oil and four drops of eucalyptus oil to warm water. Spray your shower, then wipe down to reduce mold and eliminate residue on surfaces.
  12. You can also create your own bathroom scrub. Add one-half cup of vinegar and five drops of lime or orange essential oil to one-half cup baking soda, then immediately scrub your bathtub, shower, or sink.
  13. If you already use natural cleansers, you can boost their cleaning and deodorizing powers by adding just a few drops of either grapefruit, lemon, or orange essential oil.
  14. Sprinkle a few drops of citronella, lemongrass, rosemary, lavender, or peppermint essential oil around doors and windows to keep flying insects at bay.
  15. If you have unwanted pests that you want to eliminate, combine clove and orange essential oil together, then spritz on pests to kill them on contact.
  16. 16. If you have burnt-on food stuck to cookware, add water and a few drops of lemon essential oil, then bring to a boil. Allow to sit until the water cools, then the food should come right off.
  17. Clean your carpets with your own carpet powder. Add several cups of borax and 20 drops of tea tree oil together, then shake onto carpet before vacuuming or using a carpet cleaner.
  18. Keep your bedding mite-free by adding several drops of eucalyptus essential oil and water to your next load of sheets or blankets.
  19. Add lasting fragrance to your sheets or towels, as well. Start with a clean rag or washcloth, then sprinkle this with ten to fifteen drops of your favorite essential oil. Place this in the dryer when you are drying your linens to infuse a fresh scent that will last until your next washing.
  20. Keep your carpets smelling fresh with homemade carpet deodorizer. Add baking soda and several drops of lavender, lemon, peppermint, or bergamot essential oil. Sprinkle the mixture over carpet, allowing it to rest for at least 15 minutes. Vacuum and enjoy fresh, clean carpets.

Add four tablespoon of baking soda to this, and use this mixture to clean sports equipment, uniforms, and other musty or stinky gear.

Aromatherapy for Stress

Essential Oils and Aromatherapy for Stress ~ Scientific studies have proven that aromatherapy using essential oils has a positive impact on symptoms of depression.

The aromatic molecules in essential oils have a direct influence on the areas of the brain that control our emotions.

This causes feelings of depression, anxiety and stress to be alleviated.

Researchers have found that aromatherapy treatments helped elevate moods and decrease the periods of depression.

Aromatherapy for Stress Diana Walker Essential Oils Young LivingA study conducted at Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany found that the use of essential oils caused positive changes to:

* Heart Rate
* Blood Pressure
* Stress Levels
* Breathing
* Lung Function

The natural aromatic molecules contained in essential oils rapidly access and influence the brain, notably those areas that affect mood.

This causes a reduction in symptoms of anxiety and stress and helps prevent and overcome depression.

Aromatherapy for Stress, Anxiety and Depression

Relief can be obtained through using Lavender Essential Oil.  This has been proven to work with patients, even those suffering with severe anxiety.

Aromatherapy for Stress Lavender Essential OilInhalation of Lavender Essential Oil for 15 Days

Inhalation of Lavender Essential Oil for fifteen days showed a reduction in anxiety symptoms and it also improved sleep quality.

If you feel anxiety levels start to increase, inhale Lavender Essential Oil.

Researchers also found that Lavender, when used in combination with Rose Essential Oil, worked in reducing the symptoms of women suffering from postpartum depression and GAD – Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

Lemon Essential Oil

Lemon Essential Oil can be used as an antidepressant. Its fresh scent provides an uplifting effect which is needed by people afflicted with the symptoms of depression.

Experts say that relief is made possible due to the interaction of the lemon scent and a specific part of the brain affected by depression symptoms.

As a result, the hormone dopamine is increased. It also increases the levels of tryptophan in the brain.

Essential Oils for Mental Health

Essential Oils for Mental Health

Essential Oils for Mental Health – Often it is necessary to reach out for help through what is thought of as traditional medicine. One downside is a too-often dependence on synthetic pharmaceutical products, many of which have proven to compound the problem they were supposed to be fixing.  While this may be the ‘easiest’ solution, it’s not the only or necessarily best one.

There are options available that have been used and proven for centuries. These are often not endorsed, and sometimes disparaged, by ‘big pharma’ because they don’t have the same financial benefits to themselves.

One of my favourite Essential Oil Blends is called “Peace and Calming”.
Read more here:  https://relaxwithoils.com/peace/

Essential oils, to someone unfamiliar with their benefits, through aromatherapy, topical application (including massage) and ingestion, may seem too simplistic to be considered a ‘real’ treatment.

However,  there is research and practical, beneficial methods and ingredients for alleviating some of the debilitating symptoms of suppressed
mental health. Essential oils are powerful, considered safe if used properly, and readily available, as is professional advice on correct application.

Olfactory System Essential Oils for Mental Health

Many people have questions as to how Aromatherapy and Essential Oils can help bring relief to so many common maladies experienced today, including mental health problems.

Although aromatherapy essential oils and their benefits are still being researched, evidence from many studies shows that aromatherapy works, and starts with the olfactory system.

This olfactory system works together with the brain’s limbic system.

The limbic system is primarily composed of:

  • Hippocampus
  • Amygdala
  • Hypothalamus and
  • Cingulate Gyrus

These are the parts of the brain that play a role in regards to

  • Memory
  • Emotions
  • Hormones
  • Nervous System
  • Heart Rate
  • Blood Pressure
  • Attention

Scent from Single Drop of Essential Oil

The scent from a single drop of an essential oil can have a profound impact on a person’s mind and body.

Sense of Smell is 10,000 times More Acute Compared to Our Other Senses!

Our sense of smell is 10,000 times more acute compared to our other senses.
In contrast to the small number of basic tastes, humans are able to recognize more than 10,000 different odors. Unlike taste, humans are amazingly sensitive to smell. We are able to detect the aroma of certain volatile compounds at the level of one part per trillion, and a few at levels even 1000 times lower.

Essential Oils for Mental Health ~ Messages Sent to the Brain

The moment a scent is inhaled, messages are sent to the brain. These messages can bring instant relief to many common health issues.

Some mental health problems include, anxiety, depression and stress, SAD – seasonal affective disorder, and mood swings.

Insect Repellent Citronella Essential Oil

Insect Repellent Citronella Essential Oil and Lyme Disease and Ticks

Lyme Disease and Other Tick-borne Diseases

What are Ticks?

Ticks are small parasites that exist by sucking blood from a host. Ticks are not insects but have eight legs and are from the same family as spiders. There are hundreds of tick species distributed over the world.

Most are non-injurious to human health. However, some ticks can cause severe irritation and others are dangerous.

Depending on the tick species, that host can be human or animal, including birds, mammals and even cold-blooded reptiles and amphibians. Different tick species target different hosts.

Note from Diana Walker:  “This is personal for me.  At the age of 8 years old, I remember my Dad burning out a tick from the top of my head!!  We lived on 70 acres with lots of forest.”

How do Ticks Spread Disease?

Ticks do not stay permanently attached to one host. When they choose a human host they bury their mouthpiece into the skin to suck blood to keep themselves alive. The volume of blood they consume is inconsequential, health-wise, what is more important is what they leave behind.

Some tick species which attach themselves to humans inject a mild anesthetic while they are attached, similar to that injected by a mosquito. For this reason, many people are unaware of the tick while it is attached. As with a mosquito bite, this can cause itching for a period even after the tick has been removed.

Most medical authorities consider that Lyme disease is transferred in North America by Blacklegged ticks, also known as deer ticks or bear ticks. Their botanical name is Ixodes scapularis.

The specific pathogen that is responsible for Lyme disease that is transferred by the tick is called Borrelia burgdorferi.

Many people who see a rash on their skin understandably assume that it is simply an insect bite that will heal in a short time. However, if it is the result of a tick bite and you live in a high-risk area, there is a possibility that it may develop into Lyme disease, and warrants professional medical attention.

Insect Repellent including Citronella Essential Oil

Insect Repellent  ~ Citronella Essential Oil is famous for being a plant that insects really do not like!

This plant adorns many patios and yards for this reason, and the synthetic version is a smell most of us can call to mind easily from long days spent outdoors, whipping out the toxic sprays. Many Insect Repellents contain DEET.  Be sure you read the labels!

In 1998 the Environmental Protection Agency conducted a definitive assessment of the chemical. The agency turned up 46 seizures and four deaths that were potentially linked to Deet exposure. DEET-related health problems include skin rashes and scarring in adults and, in a few cases, reports of neurological problems in children.

While toxic sprays can be harmful for our bodies, the real thing in concentrated Citronella Essential Oil form is incredibly potent – with a pure and beautifully FRESH scent!

Tick happily walks through this.
2. Tick placed inside ring of Young Living Insect Repellent

Insect Repellent

Insect Repellent (USA) from Young Living is a natural, essential oil-infused alternative to traditional bug repellent that effectively prevents mosquito, flea, and tick bites.  Who remembers using DEET?  This natural insect repellent definitely is “Deet-free”.
Insect Repellent Citronella Essential Oil Young Living Diana Walker #24845567

Children Face a Higher Risk of Contracting Lyme Disease

Since children play outdoors in grassy areas more than most adults, their chances of being infected with Lyme disease by a tick is higher.

Children are more likely to suffer from central nervous system infections too, and if the tick is not immediately removed properly, the danger of suffering from more infections becomes imminent.

It is believed that pathogen transfer is not instantaneous and that the longer the tick is attached the greater the risk.

Under spring-like conditions tick numbers can explode. In known times of high tick activity, it is prudent to do a body check on children after playing outdoors.

  • Ditch the DEET and use natural, Essential Oil infused alternatives to traditional bug repellent.
  • Find one made with 100% naturally derived plant-based ingredients
  • Use a gentle formula that is free from harsh chemicals, that is appropriate for use on children and is hypoallergenic.

Thieves Essential Oil Young Living Diana Walker Immune System

THIEVES is a Legendary Blend

This blend has a rich, spicy aroma.

THIEVES BACKGROUND

Formulated by Young Living founder, D. Gary Young, this blend was created from research recorded in the archives of the British Museum library about a group of 14th century European perfumers and spice traders who rubbed oils on themselves while they robbed the dead and dying. This is the first essential oil blend to be scientifically evaluated in a university research laboratory.

Thieves would sneak into graveyards to rob from the dead and dying.
Legend says they protected themselves by creating a special aromatic combination composed of clove, rosemary, and other botanicals.
Today, Thieves essential oil blend is inspired by those tales of old.
Combining Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Lemon, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils, this blend is one of Young Living’s most popular products.
