Thieves essential oil is one of the most versatile oils I have used. It can be used on cold sores, to prevent the spread of germs, to destroy mold, to neutralize airborne germs, to prevent the spread of infection, to help prevent and diminish gum disease, to provide your body with an immune boost , and so much more.
I picked up this helpful hint and I thought- what a good idea!!! I found this on a testimonial website and wanted to pass along yet another way to use thieves essential oil!
"I put a drop of Thieves oil in the toilet while we were away for a week and when we returned the toilets looked like I had just cleaned them. Usually a pink tinge from bacteria is at the water line and the bowl under the waterline is an even lighter pink. Sparkling clean!"
I have stopped uses all toxic chemicals and cleaners. For my toilet cleaning (not a fun job at all) I use Thieves household cleaner and white vinegar, followed by some baking soda... a good scrub and flush away. After the bowl refills I add a drop of lemon essential oil and we are good to go! (no pun intended.)

ANIMAL SCENTS OINTMENT. A simple solution for dry, cracked skin. Helpful for psoriasis and split fingers too!
Young Living's Animal Scents Ointment was intended for animals but I have found it works wonders on my "paws" too! Get rid of winter "ugliness"... dry feet and hands!
This ointment is blended with Melaleuca alternifolia and myrrh, two of nature's most powerful essential oils. For animals and people it may be used for minor skin irritations, cuts, and abrasions, the rich blend of ingredients is effective yet gentle and safe, so you can soothe your pets (and you) without using harmful chemicals or synthetic products.
Another key thing to keep in mind is when you are using an essential oil topically, animals scents ointment will seal in the oils and allows them to work longer and more effectively!
It comes in a very large container- there is plenty to share! A little goes a long way. An effective, non-toxic, gentle approach to soothe you and your pets "paws"!!
A few stories:
Using Animal Scents Ointment to seal oils (Author: Fonda Lorenz)
I have discovered that after using several oils on my knee (I had replacement surgery) that in order to really seal the oils in, I placed the Young Living Animal Scents Ointment on top and rubbed it in. It seems to keep the oils working at a much longer time and feels great! My skin is very soft as a direct result of using this and I also use it on my hands and on my lips at night.Psoriasis recipe (Author: Pam May)
For Psoriasis I have used 1 heaping teaspoon Animal Scents Ointment to which I add 2 drops Peppermint Oil. I stir this with a toothpick to mix and apply to affected skin at least 2 x per day. This has worked great for at least 3 people who have tried it. Even my skeptical pharmacist friend.
Split fingertips and Animal Scents Ointment (Author: Danielle Robertson)
During the cold, winter months, my fingertips start to split open (especially the more I am in water); it hurts to do anything with my fingertips. I have the Animal Scents Ointment in my cabinet and I pulled it out thinking it did so well on my feet (I had ordered it for cracked heels which has helped tremendously), why not give it a try on my fingertips. I applied some before bedtime and put on gloves (socks work great too) and the next morning, my fingers didn't hurt as much and the cracks were not red and as split. I kept applying throughout the day and again that night. The next morning, the splits were completely sealed with only a visible line where they were located. I continued to apply each time I washed my hands.
NOTE: My husband is a service technician and his fingers split as well (only his are deeper and longer - ouch)...he applied the ointment at night as well and was pleased with the results the next morning—he continues to use it throughout the day

Omega-3 to the rescue!
Omega-3s Reduce Anxiety, Inflammation
Fish oil from salmon and other cold-water species is a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, and according to a new study, can help reduce both inflammation and anxiety. A research team from Ohio State University reported that daily doses of omega-3 supplements, providing about four to five times the amount of fish oil found in a daily serving of salmon, reduced anxiety among a group of medical students. Inflammation can foster diseases ranging from arthritis to cancer and heart disease. The study was published online on July 19, 2011 by the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity.
My We've known for some time that omega-3s help tone down inflammation, and may help reduce the risk and symptoms of a number of disorders influenced by inflammation. We also know that people with memory loss, depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), may benefit from omega-3s, so it makes sense that these fats would also help reduce anxiety. To get adequate omega-3s, eat oily fleshed, wild-caught, cold water fish two to three times per week. If you use fish oil capsules, take two grams daily of a brand that contains both EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).

Help boost your immunity with Probiotics
I was reading an article in a magazine (I think it was Prevention) .... the one thing I recall is that your immunity stems from your gut! I never knew this .... did you?
It’s a little-known fact that 80 percent of your immune system is located in your gut. Since your immune system is your body’s first line of defense, this means that your digestive system can greatly influence your overall health.Digestive Health:Your intestine is in a near-constant war pitting "good" probiotics with unhealthy "bad" bacteria. Too many bad bacteria in your guy can encourage digestive issues like Chron's disease and irritable bowel syndrome, MayoClinic.com reports. Consuming probiotics adds reinforcements for the good bacteria in your gut, reducing the risk of bad bacteria overgrowth. Probiotics can reduce the incidence of diarrhea by 60 percent in children, Harvard University School of Public Health reports.
Cancer: Cancer was the cause of more than 10 percent of all deaths worldwide in 2008, the World Health Organization reports. Research published in the July 2008 issue of "Cellular Microbiology" found that a specific type of probiotic -- Lactobacillus reuteri -- promoted cancer cell death in a test tube experiment. This probiotic, commonly found in yogurt, activated enzymes in cancerous cells that forced them to self destruct. However, no human research has replicated the results of this particular study.
Immunity: Probiotics help regulate your body's immune system, making it more efficient and effective.
Yeast Infections:Yeast infections are a common cause of pain and discomfort in women. A research review published in the March 2002 "Microbes and Infection" notes that the type of probiotics found in yogurt can help reduce severity and incidence of yeast infections and urinary tract infections. Like in your intestine, probiotics drive out bad bacteria by using up precious space and nutrients..Probiotics naturally release compounds that make it hard for potentially infectious bacteria to adhere to your body, the study authors note.
Give your immune system a boost before cold and flu season begin!!!
Ending with a story....
Chronic diarrhea for twenty years!
Author: Carol Lynn NashMy husband has had chronic diarrhea for over 20 years. He has been to several doctors and specialists. He was finally told to take Imodium everyday, this did not stop the diarrhea but it did help. He did this for the past 15 years. We started taking the probiotic Life 5 from Young Living and his diarrhea ended in about 3 days. It is the first time he has had normal stools in so long. We had no idea the probiotic would help. We were taking it as a supplement to help with digestion. Not sure if anyone else suffers from this, if so try the Life 5. He takes one each night before he goes to be.
