Since we are nearing summer-

time, peppermint essential oil

(Mentha piperita) is a good oil

to have on hand, as it is also a

part of the Everyday Oils Col-

lection, which is included in

the Premium Starter Kit.

The most popular uses for

Peppermint EO:

Flavoring for water. One

drop in 8-20 oz of water in

between meals.

Mouth freshener. Put one

drop under your tongue.

Alertness. Simply smell the

bottle or inhale 1 drop in

your hands.

Digestion soother. Add to

your water, take in capsules

or put under the tongue.

Heartburn relief. Put one

drop under your tongue

and one drop on the ster-

num.

Upset stomach, nausea, car

-sick. Smell the aroma or

rub on the belly with carrier

oil.

Insect repellant. Mix with

Purification and distilled Peppermint essential oil

(Mentha piperita)

Menthol Moments This Summer

by Debbie Norris

According to D. Gary Young's

book, Essential Oils Integrative

Medical Guide, essential oils

of the highest quality are dis-

tilled into dark glass. Glass

bottles are more stable than

plastic and the darkness of the

glass protects the essential

oils from light which can alter

the chemical properties of the

oil or lower its therapeutic

value over time. When using

your oils, be sure to always

securely tighten the lid onto

the bottle. Improperly sealed

bottles can result in the loss of

some of the lighter, lower-

molecular weight parts of the

oil, i.e. the monoterpenes and

sesquiterpenes. Also, over

time, oxygen from the air may

seep in and oxidize the essen-

tial oil.

When storing your oils, be

sure to store them away from

light, most especially sunlight.

Amber glass bottles in which

oils of high quality are stored

in does offer some protection

against visible light, however,

the darker the conditions of

where they are stored, the

longer the oils will last. It is

also important to store your

oils in a cool location as ex-

cessive heat can also alter the

molecular structure of the oils

& their components just as

utlraviolet light does. Not fol-

lowing these guidelines can

alter the fragrance and thera-

WHAT IS A CARRIER OIL?

A carrier oil is often used to

extend the use of the essential

oil(s) in order to provide more

efficient use of the essential

oil(s) in topical application.

Using a carrier oil helps to

lubricate the skin. The follow-

ing oils would make some

excellent carrier oils-----

water and spray on your-

self, children or pets.

Mosquito bites. Takes the

itch away with one drop.

Non-toxic bug and spider

repellant. Mix with water

and spray on baseboards,

etc.

Pain reliever and driver of

oils for aches and pains.

Layer in a couple drops on

top of other oils.

Headache relief. Dilute &

apply to forehead & tem-

ples.

When sharing with others it's

crucial that each of us use

caution, and educate our-

selves about what can and

cannot be said about essential

oils. The book LEGAL GUIDE-

LINES FOR UNLICENSED

PRACTITIONERS by Dr. Law-

rence Wilson offers some

guidance on this issue.

WORDS TO AVOID

In the health care field, certain

words have been assigned

legal meaning in the state

statuses. The state legislatures

have declared that only cer-

tain licensed individuals can

use these words. If anyone

else uses them, they are con-

sidered to be practicing medi-

cine, psychology or another

regulated profession without a

license.

Even if the statuses are not

constitutional or if one works

outside of them, it is very wise

to avoid using words that are

reserved for licensed practitio-

ners. These words include:

cure, diagnose, prescribe, treat

and possibly even the word

disease.

Instead of the word CURE,

use the words RESTORE, HELP,

ALLEVIATE, IMPROVE, COR-

RECT, BALANCE or NORMAL-

IZE.

Instead of the word DIAG-

NOSE, one may ASSESS,

MEASURE, CHECK, DETER-

MINE or EVALUATE.

Instead of the word PRE-

SCRIBE, one may recommend,

SUGGEST, ADVISE, PROPOSE

or offer options.

Instead of the word TREAT,

one may HANDLE, WORK

WITH, RELIEVE, BALANCE,

NORMALIZE, AMELIORATE,

CORRECT or REMEDY.

Instead of the word DISEASE,

use the words CONDITION,

PROBLEM, DEFICIENCY, EX-

CESS or IMBALANCE.

Instead of naming diseases,

as is done in the medical para-

digm, use simple, descriptive

terms. For example, one might

say to a client, “I see you have

swollen joints”, rather than “I

see you have arthritis”. Arthri-

tis is a medical diagnosis.

Words to AVOID When Sharing!

Words like ‘naturopath’,

‘nutritionist’ or ‘psychologist’

have legal meanings and may

only be used by licensed peo-

ple. Regardless of the constitu-

tionality of such laws, one

needs to exercise care. Much

safer words are consultant,

counselor, coach, educator or

healer. Using the word

‘therapist’ is probably safe.

preferably organic as you do

not want to be introducing

more toxins/chemicals into

your body when using essen-

tial oils-----cold-pressed

grapeseed, olive, wheat germ,

or almond oil, or a blend of

any of these. Young Living has

a wonderful blend of oils, V-6

(Continued from page 1)

Maximizing Shelf Life of Essential Oils

Vegetable Oil Complex con-

taining almond oil, fraction-

ated coconut oil, grapeseed

oil, olive oil, sesame oil, sun-

flower seed oil, and wheat

germ oil. This wonderful blend

is a lovely light-in-texture oil

that applies nicely on one's

skin, not heavy at all com-

pared to like an olive oil would

be.

There’s an OIL for THAT!

Are Your Pets Ears Driving Them Crazy?

Inside Story Headline

by Debbie Norris

Being proactive in your pet's

health can save you time and

money later, by nipping an

issue in the bud before it gets

a grip on your beloved pet. It

seems that ear problems with

both dogs and cats can not

only be a nuisance but also

very harmful to their ear's

structure if steps aren't taken

early on.

Dr. Melissa Shelton, DVM in

her book, Animal Desk Refer-

ence, states the following ba-

sic rules:

1. Always consult with a veteri-

narian concerning ear re-

lated problems. Situations,

such as ruptured ear drums

are common, and even a

veterinary ear cleaner with-

out essential oils cans cause

damage in this situation.

2. Never place neat essential

oils directly into the ear

canal.

3. Never "drip" neat or con-

centrated oil solutions into

the ear with the intention of

"reaching the bottom

4. Monitor the skin of the ear

canal and of the ear flap for

irritation to essential oil use.

Dr. Shelton recommends us-

ing Coconut Oil, V-6 Enhanced

Vegetable Oil Complex, or

Animal Scents Ointment as

carrier oils to mix with essen-

tial oils, and then applying to

the ears. The intent is not to

fill the ear canal with the di-

luted essential oil mixture,

but rather to allow a coating

of the ear tissues with the

diluted essential oil mixture.

Coconut Oil and Animal

Scents Ointment are hard at

most room temperatures, and

as such will easily melt once

they come into contact with

the warmer body temp of the

animal's ear tissues. Coconut

Oil has its own value as an anti

-bacterial, anti-fungal, and

anti-inflammatory making it a

valuable tool in its own

right for cleaning ear debris

and also as a carrier of essen-

tial oils to their place of need.
