Making Connections, Sharing Daily Life, and Loving Everyone along the Way

Kids and essential oils go hand-in-hand like peanutbutter and jelly.  If you have tummy issues or owies, there's seriously an oil for that!

However, when you're using oils with little ones from birth to age 17, oils need to be diluted depending on the age of the child.  Young Living has an entire line of KidScents oils that are prediluted for little ones.  However, if you're in a pinch and you don't have access to those oils, I have a solution for you right here! 

In the picture below, you'll find a dilution ratio chart by age for each age range.  

Please feel free to tap on the picture and save it to your phone, or right click and save it to your computer.  

This KidScents Little OIlers Kit includes:

*Feather the Owl Diffuser

*KidScents Sniffle Ease

There is an additional oil for kids called KidPower that helps kids before tests and doing new things.  It's a wonderful oil to put in the diffuser, roll on the back of their neck and their wrists before those new experiences with new classes, new schools, and new teachers.  Of course all these wonderful oils come in the KidScents Roll-on Collection, too!

In my own sceptical mind, I put off trying this pure berry juice for a long time.  I disregarded the juice as something like a "Capri Sun" for kids when a friend of mine bought her kit through me.  

What was I thinking?  Holy Cow!  

So now, I drink this juice every day, after going through the research, what it has in it, then teaching classes because, folks, let's face it--when you teach something you learn so much more than when you're just reading a pamphlet!  

So, what about this NingXia juice is so awesome?!  

Wolfberries that come from the NingXia region of China.  This area is directly below the mountain ranges and above any large cities that have polution in the air and water, so it's perfect!  This area gets the runoff from the winter snow which floods the fields giving them life giving nutrients from minerals that traveled along with the snowmelt.  It has no polution anywhere, so there is no chemical going in to or on the plants.  It's the perfect growing condition for this berry!  

This is a little snip-it of the farm in China:

Many of the reasons Gary Young decided to use the NingXia Wolfberry is because of the longevity of life that he witnessed with his own eyes among the Chinese people.  

You can hear his own words here:

You can find part 2 here.  I would highly suggest you take a few minutes and watch it.  It will change your life! 

So this is where I began with the story of the NingXia Wolfberry.  I moved in to the science with finding all the ingredients of NingXia.  If you listen to the above videos, you can start there to see for yourself the beginning points of research. 

Ingredients: 

Proprietary NingXia Red Blend: 58 g Ningxia wolfberry puree (Lycium barbarum), Blueberry juice concentrate (Vaccinium corymbosum), Plum juice concentrate (Prunus domestica), Cherry juice concentrate (Prunus avium), Aronia juice concentrate (Aronia melanocarpa), Pomegranate juice concentrate (Punica granatum)

Proprietary Essential Blend: 100 mg Grape (Vitis vinifera) seed extract, Orange essential oil (Citrus sinensis)†, Yuzu essential oil (Citrus junos)†, Lemon essential oil (Citrus limon)†, Tangerine essential oil (Citrus reticulata)† 

Other Ingredients: Tartaric acid, Natural blueberry flavor, Pure vanilla extract, Malic acid, Pectin, Sodium benzoate/natural stevia extract †Premium essential oil

I took my Reference Guide to Essential Oils and started researching each essential oil in this juice. I encourage you to grab a Reference Guide to Essential Oils for yourself because it's invaluable in finding out the wonderful benefits of essential oils and the many other products that Young Living has to offer.  I started with my Reference Guide (linked above), and a Premium Starter Kit.  In preparation for recovery from surgery, I bought my kit in February 2015 and played with everything, read my book, and just enjoyed learning about everything.  Little did I know how much more there was to learn about essential oils!  Mind you, I've been using essential oils from about 85% of the other essential oil companies out there for 22 years now.  I've not learned all there is to know about essential oils and their uses even now.  If I had 7 lifetimes to learn, I still wouldn't know all there is to know!  Science is coming out with new things every single year proving the usefulness and benefits of using essential oils in every day life!  

As I mentioned above, I started with a Premium Starter Kit.  The kit comes with a diffuser, which is invaluable to me; 12 essential oils, Thieves Household Cleaner, Thieves Hand Sanitizer, 2 NingXia Saches for you to try, and some reading material.  I love this way to begin using essential oils!  The diffisuer alone has helped me so much in the past 7 years!  

If you're not wanting to get started with the essential oil kit and just jump right in to the NingXia Red Starter Bundle, just follow the link to take a look at all the goodness you get!   If you'd like to get all the NingXia sent to your doorstep monthly, click on this link that will take you to the NingXia Loyalty Rewards!  It's a great way to get all the NingXia goodness every single month without doing anything else!  It's easy!  

PLUS!  When you click the "Add to Loyalty Order" you start accumulating points toward FREE stuff!  Anything you want!  Loyalty Rewards is a wonderful way to get things you've been wanting, but you can get it free!  Take a look! 

It's a fantastic program where I put anything and everything I am gonig to need for the next month on my subscription list.  Once the 1st of the month comes, I do a final "look see" and then process my order.  I get freebees called "Gifts with Purchase" from Young Living for my orders that are over 100PV!  Some months it's oils, some months, it's free points, some months there are free diffusers at qualifying levels of 100-190-250-300-400 and sometimes 500 PV.  This is Young Living's way of thanking us for our loyalty.  I love it!  

I'm getting ready to add more NingXia classes to my schedule--both online and in person.  If you'd like to learn "all the things" more in depth about this powerhouse of a juice, let me know!  

Remember for the month of September I'm having a Birthday Give Away drawing!  Purchase anything on the Young Living Website for $25PV and it will get you in the drawing!  NIngXia counts!  What is the drawing for?!  This beautiful Feather the Owl Diffuser!  It's fantastic!  

Take care and God Bless,

Regina Graham 

Yes!  You could say I'm nuts, or something!  LOL  I promise I will not "squirrel" away this knowledge!  Keep reading! 

Seriously though, there is some cleaning POWER in these plant juices and it's absolutely mind blowing!  

First of all, I'm a science nut.  I loved teaching science to our kids when we homeschooled for 17 years!  We incorporated the love of science in God's world through everything we could possibly add it to.  What an awesome way to show our kids the fantastic world around us than with how much the Lord loved us by giving us this beautiful wonderful world to not only explore, but experience!  

In the Bible it tells us how the leaves of trees and plants are to be used for medicine, like in this verse:

And all trees for food shall go up by the torrent, on its bank on this side, and on that side. Its leaf shall not fade, nor its fruit fail. It will bear by its months, because its waters come out from the sanctuary. And its fruit shall be for food, and its leaf for healing.(Eze 47:12)

Isn't the Lord magnificent for thinking of us to make a way for the plants to help heal us?!   Here is another one to see:

In the midst of its street, and of the river, from here and from there, was the Tree of Life, which bore twelve fruits, each yielding its fruit according to one month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.(Rev 22:2)

God is awesome! 

But, what about cleaning?  

It's the same thing!  When you add a plant based soap to essential oils, you not only disburse the oils through the water, but you get a great cleaning agent!  This is what Young Living Thieves Cleaning line is all about!  All plant based materials  make a super powerful cleaning agent!  

Great question!   If you remember your science, vinegar is an acid.  Acids are one of the things that degrade the power of essential oils.  Sunlight is another thing that degrades the power of essential oils.  It is for this reason that when you buy Young Living essential oils, the bottles are amber brown color.  It keeps the oils shaded.  When you make a roller bottle for someone, it's good to use either cobalt blue, amber, or another shaded color (they come in rainbow colors, too!) to keep the oils as powerful as possible!  

Another great question!  Remembering science class from elementary school, when you did the experiment with water and oil, what happened?  Did the water and oil mix?  No it didn't!  

This is what will happen in your mop bucket or spray bottle.  You need what is called saponification.  In purest form, soponification is the soap part of the cleaning agent.  You could get heavy in to science with this, but for those of you who glaze over with the science of it all, I've simplified the definition.  Those of you who thrive on research, go ahead and look up the definition of the word "saponification."  

What is in Thieves Essential Oil Blend that makes it so powerful?

Quite simply, there are 5 essential oils in this powerful blend: Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) bud oil, Lemon (Citrus limon) peel oil, Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) bark oil, Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata) leaf oil, Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) leaf oil.

Referring back to our scripture verses above, where the leaves of the trees are for the healing of the nations, each of these wonderfully aromatic plants have specific properties that help our bodies with various issues we may be having. 

 Clove:  This oil is steam distilled from bud and stem--originating in Madagascar & the Spice Islands  HIstorical uses were skin infections, digestive upsets, intestinal parasites, childbirth, and most notably toothaches.  The Chinese also used cloves for diarrhea, hernia, bad breath, and bronchitis. (61)   There are many many other uses for this particular oil that science has proven to help our bodies with since the 1900's.  It's fascinating learning about all the different current day uses!  

Lemon: This oil is one of my favorites.  We use it so much that I order it every other month with my Loyalty Rewards order!   Lemons are cold pressed from the rind ( requires 3,000 lemons to produce a kilo of oil)--usually from California and Italy.  HIstorically, lemon has been used to fight food poisoning, malaria, and typhoid epidemics, and scurvy.  Lemon has also been used to lower blood pressure and to help with liver problesm, arthritis, and muscular aches and pains. (91)    This oil has so many more uses to help with our health and support a healthy immune system!  Interestingly, Lemon essential oil also helps get anything sticky off kids, garage hands, or old paint off things!  I love using this oil in addition to Thieves Household Cleaner when there's something particularly sticky to help clean up!  

Cinnamon Bark Oil: This oil is steam distilled from the bark, which makes it so very much more aromatic and stronger than the ground cinnamon we get in the baking aisle at the store!  It's from India, Madagascar, & Sri Lanka.  Historically this was used in just about evry presciription issued in ancient China.  It was regarded as a tranquilizer, tonic, and stomachic and as being good for depression and a weak heart. ( 58)  I have used this particular Vitality Oil in my pumpkin and blueberry pies without an issue.  They turn out very flavorful and I only have to use a toothpic twirl to add the oil to the batter!  

Eucalyptus Radiata: This oil is steam distilled from leaves and originates in Australia. (71)  There isn't historical research on the uses of this oil, but suffice it to say that this oil helps with every breathing concern I've ever experienced.  This oil, along with other oils have helped with repeated use over a few weeks to a month or more time frame.  This oil is invaluable and is a wonderful asset in Thieves Essential Oil Blend! 

Rosemary: This oil is steam distilled from flowering plant and originates in France, Tunisia, and USA.  Historically the rosemary plant was regarded as sacred by many cifilizations.  It was used as a fumigant to help drive away evil spirits, and to protect against plague and infectious illness. (118)  This oil has been known to help with hair regrowth, also.  It has wonderful help also with Immune, Respiratory, and Nervous systems.  Rosemary Vitality Oil can also be used in food preparation.  I've used a 2 drops in a marinade for steaks as well as over salmon.  It has a wonderful flavor!   

Of course all 5 of these oils combined in a specific way makes up Thieves Essential Oil Blend.  This is the BASE of all the Thieves Line of Products.  There is Thieves Household Cleaner,  Thieves Whitening Toothpaste, Thieves Cough Drops, Thieves Chest Rub, Thieves Laundry Soap (I have a super frugal recipe that stretches this out to  make it last up to 2 years!!!), Thieves Dishwasher Powder, Thieves Hand Sanitizer, Thieves Dish Soap,  Thieves Wipes, Thieves Fruit and Vegetable Soak, Thieves Mints, Thieves Dental Floss, Thieves Mouthwash, and Thieves Foaming Hand Wash.  You can click on any of the products to read about them.  I have used all of the products except the Thieves Mints.  I can attest to their effectiveness and I love the fact that they're all completely plant based and grown without any toxic chemicals.

Disclaimer:  In many cases, when switching from toxin filled, chemical laden products, there is a bit of a learning curve that needs to occur.  You alone are the gatekeeper of your own home.  It is up to you to research the toxins that are in the products you currently use.  I am not a medical professional, nor can I prescribe, diagnose, or treat anyone.  I can educate you in the dangers of the industry's waste products and toxins that you are currently putting on your skin and your loved one's skin as well.  In most, if not all, cases the products you're putting on your skin and in your body have been banned everywhere else in the world except in the US.  The US bans 15 known toxins.  The European Union bans 1,300 known toxins.

  Young Living bans a whopping 2,500 known toxins!
