Benefits of Oil of Oregano
I have known for a long time that Oregano Oil is good for you but it wasn't until recently I found out how good it is for you! This oil is AMAZING!! We are prescribed antibiotics for an array of different illnesses. Usually a broad spectrum antibiotic. The problem with over use of antibiotics is that is causes antibiotic resistance, destroying good bacteria, reducing vitamin absorption and it damages the digestive lining.
Oregano Oil has NO SIDE EFFECTS! Oregano oil contains two very powerful compounds; carvacrol and thymol. They are powerful anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Carvacrol, the predominant healing compound in Oregano, has been proven to reverse or reduce bacterial infection, fungal infection, parasites, viruses, inflammation, candida, allergies and tumors. There are over 800 studies in PubMed on the healing powers of Carvacrol! That's amazing!! But that's not all. Oil of Oregano has also been proven to treat bronchitis, gingivitis, ringworm, athletes foot, yeast infections, UTI's, toenail fungus and so much more!
I am sold on this amazing. healing oil and I hope you will give it a try the next time you are faced with a viral or fungal infection. God's pharmacy is full of 100% natural treatments that don't have all those nasty side effects of synthetic treatments.
As always use caution when using this and any other Essential Oil. Because they are very potent. You should always read the label and do your own research. Consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant.

Essential Oils vs Pharmaceuticals
In America we grow up with antibiotics, steroids, Tylenol and many regularly prescribed medicines and really don't give them a second thought before taking them. Over 40% of us don't even read the label. We just trust that they are safe for us to take because we can buy them legally. But what if I told you over 100,000 deaths occur in the US every year from properly prescribed and properly taken pharmaceutical drugs? Would that get your attention?
Our bodies are not able to properly metabolize the unnatural substances made by man in a laboratory. That's why even decades later you can find traces of prescription medicines in your body. What if there was a way to bring about natural healing without the side effect of pharmaceutical drugs? What if you could be in control of your health and wellness with a natural substance without ANY side effects? Would you be interested? I'm talking about Essential Oils. Specifically Young Living Essential Oils.
First let me explain the difference between how pharmaceutical drugs work and how essential oils work. The pharmaceuticals toxify; The unnatural molecules of man-made drugs attach themselves to various tissues, disrupting normal function trying to figure out what to do with them, wreaking havoc with our bodily functions and our minds. Have you ever listened to the side effects disclaimer on a TV ad for a prescription medicine? Scary isn't it?
On the other hand essential oils detoxify our body. They are a natural substance and are easily metabolized by the body. Essential oils address the causes of disease at the cellular level by deleting misinformation and reprogramming correct information so that cells function properly and in harmony with one another.
PHARMACEUTICALS ESSENTIAL OILS
Toxify Detoxify
Unbalancing Balancing
Clog & confuse receptor sites Clean receptor sites
Depress the immune system Strengthen the immune system
Adverse side effects NO adverse side effects
Because essential oils properly applied will always work toward the restoration of proper bodily function, they do not cause undesirable side effects. They are feeding the body with God made goodness.
It's your health. Take control of it

What Are Essential Oils
Essential oils are nature's volatile aromatic compounds generated within shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds. They are usually extracted through steam distillation, hydrodistillation, or cold pressed extraction. The power of an essential oil lies in its constituents and their synergy. Each oil is composed of 200-500 different bioconstitutents, which make them very diverse in their effects. No two oils are alike.
Essential oils are the essence and lifeblood of the plant. They are composed of tiny molecules that can penetrate every cell; crossing the blood/brain barrier and supports our body systems at the most basic level. They are aromatic and healing to the body, mind and spirit.
Not all essential oils are therapeutic grade. Many on the market contain additives and/or chemicals and may contain a small amount of essential oil but have not been processed in a way to guarantee therapeutic constituencies that can truly support our bodies. Knowing how the essential oils are processed and tested are vital information if you want only the highest grade/quality of essential oil for your family.
Young Living Essential Oils are 100% therapeutic grade. They are planted, grown, harvested, distilled and packaged with the highest integrity! The soil the plants are grown in have NEVER been touched by pesticides.....NEVER! Young Living Essential Oils are the only choice for me and my family.

PROGESSENCE PLUS
Essential Oils have become a way of life for me in just 4 short months. I am OBSESSED with them to say the least. I have never sold anything before; not Avon, Mary Kay, Pampered Chef, Scentsy etc. I have used them and I like them but never had the desire to sell them. When I got introduced to the Young Living Essential Oils all I could think about is "I have to share this!" I didn't know anything about the business side of Young Living and I'm glad I didn't because MLM is not something I would normally be attracted to. After spending time on the Young Living website, YouTube and Pinterest in conjunction with using the oils and being engaged with other users/distributors I was even more excited about sharing my new found love!
I keep waiting for an Essential Oil to not work for whatever it is I am using it for but it hasn't happened yet! I'm sure it will but as of today it hasn't. When it does happen it will be okay because just like modern medicine Essential Oils are not one size fits all. Each Essential Oil has many many benefits so if one oil doesn't work I am CERTAIN that another one will.
My favorite oil right now is Progessence Plus. It's actually not an oil but a serum. I had a hysterectomy in November 2013 and was put on synthetic hormones (Estradiol) immediately. We all know the side effects of those, right? (Read the warnings below) Well, after taking Estradiol for 15 months I started using the Young Living Progessence Plus. Three weeks in and so far I have not had ANY hot flashes, night sweats or mood swings!!! I am hooked!!! Progressence Plus has a natural hormone extracted from the wild yam. It also has several essential oils: Copaiba, Sacred Frankincense, Cedarwood, Bergamot, Peppermint, Rosewood and Clove. It also contains coconut oil and vitamin E. Progessence Plus has a very subtle calming aroma to it. It works for me and I will never go back to man made hormones again.

ESTRADIOL
WARNINGS:
Estrogens, either used alone or with another hormone (progestin), have rarely caused very serious side effects. Discuss the risks and benefits of hormone treatment with your doctor. Estrogens should not be used to prevent heart disease or dementia.
Estrogens can increase the risk of cancer of the uterus (endometrial cancer). Taking a progestin as directed by your doctor can help decrease this risk. Tell your doctor right away if you have any unusual vaginal bleeding.
In postmenopausal women, estrogens can increase the risk of cancer of the ovaries, stroke, dementia, and serious blood clots in the legs. Estrogens alone do not appear to increase the risk of breast cancer when used for up to 7 years. Estrogen, when used with a progestin, can increase the risk of heart disease (such as heart attacks), stroke, serious blood clots in the lungs/legs, dementia, and cancer of the breast/ovaries.
The risk for serious side effects may depend on the dose of estrogen and the length of time it is used. Therefore, this medication should be used at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest amount of time. Discuss the use of this medication with your doctor and check with him/her regularly (for example, every 3 to 6 months) to see if you still need to take this medication. If you will be taking this medication long-term, you should have regular complete physical exams (for example, once a year) as directed by your doctor.

So as you can see the side effects can be deadly. The doctor put me on a medication to prevent night sweats, hot flashes and mood swings but can cause OVARIAN AND BREAST CANCER, STROKE, HEART DISEASE, BLOOD CLOTS, HEART ATTACKS!!!!!!! Wow I wish I had known this a year ago!
PROGESSENCE PLUS IS THE ONE FOR ME!!!!!

ESSENTIAL OILS
A HEALTHIER LIFESYLE
What if I told you there is a healthier way to treat every day aches and pains and emotional distress? We all have some type of health issue whether it be digestion, sleep issues, weight issues, skin issues, a disease of some sort. A lot of us have some type of emotional distress in our lives as well. What about anxiety? Our lives are full of stress and anxiety.
I know we can’t remove all of the harmful chemicals from our lives but we can dramatically reduce our intake of them just by replacing routine OTC medicines with Essential Oils. We can further reduce our intake by replacing the extremely harmful chemical laden products we put on our skin every day.
Essential Oils are man’s first medicine. Records dating back to 4500 BC describe the use of balsamic substances with aromatic properties for the religious rituals and medical applications. Frankincense and Myrrh were both given to the Christ child at his birth along with gold because these oils were as valuable and precious as gold. Mary anointed Jesus with Spikenard (a year’s wages) before his crucifixion.
Tylenol’s active ingredient is acetaminophen. Acetaminophen can lead to liver damage/failure. Acetaminophen is the number one cause of acute liver failure in America. So many prescription and OTC medicines contain acetaminophen and 60% of Americans state that they do not read labels. This can lead to accidental overdose which causes liver damage/failure. Accidental overdoses each year result in 56,000 ER visits, 1,600 cases of acute liver failure and nearly 500 deaths in the US every year.
25% of our total blood volume passes through our liver every minute. It’s our largest organ and is essential for life. It produces bile to help absorb fats and fat soluble vitamins. It removes or neutralizes poisons from the blood. It removes germs and bacterial from the blood. It makes proteins that regulate blood clotting.
Toxins, pharmaceutical drugs and parasites contribute to liver problems. Many pesticides, petrochemicals and environmental toxins are potent liver stressors. Parasitic infection can also contribute to cirrhosis.
