Enzymes: The Key to Longevity & Health

Did you know? Low enzyme levels are America's #1 cause of sickness and death. On the other hand, when enzymes like amylase, protease, and lipase are plentiful, the body remains healthy.

I know.

This sounds a little heavy, but in April, 2011, I learned the value of these proteins first hand. Inspired by a seminar where our founder Gary Young spoke on Young Living's enzymes, I increased my usage of Young Living's enzymes for the next 4 weeks. My results were outstanding.   

Gary Young, our founder, with ESSENTIALZYMES-4. Our enzymes are enteric-coated and will digest in the colon which will work for you!

Digestive Benefits

Allerzyme: Vegetarian Enzyme Complex that promotes normal digestion.

My health journey with Young Living brought me wonderful, lifesaving products, but after I focused on enzymes, my digestive system became cleaner than it had been... I guess… my entire life! My benefits included:

• One good bowel movement after each meal.

• A bowel movement within 30 minutes of waking.

• Very fresh breath in the morning. (Yes, really!)

Immune System Benefits

Young Living enzymes also encourage proper immune response to histamines. After 4 weeks of using more YL’s enzymes, I visited a family member whose dog lives the house. Before, I experienced classic allergy discomfort: itchy eyes, itching on my nose and face, sneezing, drainage down the throat and some wheezing when I went for a visit. Although I could control the congestion and head tension with Ravintsara, RC, Breathe Again and Peppermint, I hardly had to use the essential oils at all because I had been using YL’s enzymes! I was there for about ten days, and I even got to pet the dog from time to time!

Enzymes 101

Enzymes are proteins produced by living organisms. Heat and food processing kill enzymes. Not surprisingly, cultures that focus on whole foods experience longer, disease-free life.

Enzyme Benefits

Enzymes help support brain function, respiratory concerns and minor aches and pains. They also unlock the benefits of minerals, vitamins, proteins and hormones.

Generational Problem

Dr. Edward Howell, a pioneer in enzyme research, discovered that our problem may be generational. After 50 years of research, he uncovered overwhelming evidence indicating that the primary cause of degenerative disease in humans is enzyme deficiencies, exacerbated by enzyme deficient mothers passing on genetic deficiencies to their offspring. 

Good News

Dr. William Lintz eliminated allergy symptoms in 472 patients by eliminating the toxins in their bodies. In hundreds of other cases, enzyme supplements taken orally restored the body's enzyme level, dissolved undigested food particles, and helped support the skin, respiratory and digestive systems.

Have You Ever Been a HOT MESS?

I am not a young woman anymore. In fact, as a grandmother of six, one might suggest that I am a middle-aged woman. How do you know you are a middle-aged woman? 

Hot flashes.  Yes, hot flashes. 

Those unpredictable feelings of physical heat that cause your neck to heat up, your upper lip to sweat, and your brain to completely stop functioning…except to scream to your body, “TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES!”

Hot Flashes: I’ve Got an Oil for That!

This pretty little pink bottle changed my life! Thank you, Progessence Plus Serum!

About three years ago, my hot flashes were consuming me, one or more per hour ALL DAY. They were so intense that people sitting on the same couch could feel the heat radiating from my body. One day, as I fanned myself during a church service, my friend leaned over and said those classic words, “I’ve got an oil for that!” 

Keep in mind that I had never heard of essential oils, so my mind immediately conjured images of cooking oil, spray Pam, and Crisco. Positive that my friend was completely crazy, I humored her by accepting her invitation to her essential oil class…whatever that was! At the class around the kitchen table, others discussed oils in cute little bottles. The smell was delicious. 

Finally, I spoke up and asked about hot flashes. My friend scurried off to another room and produced a bottle of oil: Progessence Plus Serum. She dabbed a little on my wrist and said, “Let me know when you have another hot flash.” HA! I started counting down, “ten, nine, eight…” Nothing. Nada. No hot flash the rest of the evening. I was sold! Four hours later, still no heat. I felt like a miracle in the flesh.

Just a dab will send hot flashes on vaca. Bye, bye!

The next day, still zero hot flashes. It was like they were on vacation. By the middle of the third day, they returned from vaca, and it felt like they had brought an army of friends! Scorching HOT friends! I ran to my little oil stash, still in its packaging from two nights previous, rummaged through to find that pretty little bottle with the pink label and dabbed a bit more on my wrists. The smell was like coming home. Absolutely divine!

After consistent use, I noticed some changes. My family noticed those changes, too.  My hair stopped falling out, my monthly crazies were less crazy, my skin looked brighter, my weight stopped multiplying, my headaches were less frequent, and my sleep was deeper and more refreshing – all because of that precious little bottle of oil.

Progessence Plus Serum changed my life! I will forever be grateful to my crazy friend for introducing me to the world of essential oils. May I introduce essential oils to you?

My Joyful Days

Back in my day (said in an old lady voice), JOY didn’t come in the everyday oils kit. There were only 9 (gasp) oils back then. Fortunately, I was part of a wise and lovely group of ladies, who raved ferociously about the essential oil blend called “JOY”. ‘Wear it for perfume’ they said, ‘supports my mood’ they said, and ‘oh, it smells so good’ they said.

The Essential Oil Blend Called “JOY”

So, I got my JOY oil and tore the lid off and took the biggest whiff of…WTH? This did not bring me joy, far from it! I felt the pull to use it, but I had to put it on my feet everyday just to get it as far away from my nose as possible. Oh those girls, how did they wear it for perfume…puuuweeee!

My Soul Now Sings of JOY

I am nothing if not dedicated to my oils, and after a couple of weeks of continued use on my feet, an odd thing happened. JOY started becoming Joyful! I started to crave the smell and more importantly the effects. I tell people – you know when you wake up and you just don’t want to be with yourself that day? You just wake up on the wrong side of the earth? Ever heard “when Momma ain’t happy… ?” That is the day you need JOY more than ever. My kids bring me my JOY bottle when I am ‘irritable’ and with puppy eyes holding it in their cupped hands ask, “Mommy, were you looking for this?” They know! Everyone knows! Oh, how my soul now sings of JOY!

So JOY is now a staple in my home. Everyone, even my husband, who says it tingles his brain when he uses it, applies JOY for emotional support. So if you haven’t already, join me and become a JoyDropper today!

My TOP 5 Young Living Essential Oils

When I decided to share my TOP 5 Young Living Essential Oils, I had to think about it. I love and use so many of them in my family’s daily life, and it was (really) hard to choose! BUT I have risen to the task, and finally come up with my must-have list.

My TOP 5 Young Living Essential Oils: Thieves, Myrrh, Frankincense, DiGize & Idaho Balsam Fir

Thieves Essential Oil Blend

I would bet this oil is on about 99% of people’s must-have lists. We use Thieves Essential Oil blend on the bottom of our feet daily to help with immune system support. It is also diffused often around our house to purify the air. We LOVE all of our Thieves-infused products like Thieves Household Cleaner and Thieves natural hand sanitizer. Don’t leave home without your Thieves!

Fun Fact: Did you know Thieves got its name from thieves (also perfumers by trade) who were robbing the graves of people who had died from the black plague? Finally when the thieves were captured, they gave up their recipe for staying healthy and not catching the black plague for a lighter sentence from the King. The recipe we use today for our Thieves Essential Oil blend comes from those thieves. How Cool!

Myrrh Essential Oil

This oil is my favorite “beauty” oil. Every night I apply Myrrh all over my face. It leaves my skin feeling soft but not greasy and helps maintain clear skin. It has evened out my skin tone and helped rid me of those icky dry skin patches, too. I also loved this oil for my belly when I was pregnant. I used it regularly with coconut oil to keep my skin looking clear and smooth.

Fun Tip: Is your Myrrh Oil bottle lid constantly getting stuck? Rub some coconut oil all along the rim of the bottle and inside the lid. It will loosen the lid and keep it easy to open for months!

Frankincense Essential Oil

Love love love this oil! Not only is it one of the Bible oils given to baby Jesus, but it also has great benefits. In the history books it says it was used from head to toe. When in doubt and not sure what oil to use, I pick up my Frankincense first. It relaxes me and supports skin health. I have also noticed that applying this oil daily to my little one keeps him in a much better mood overall and helps maintain his health. Many people also like to use it daily on the face for fine lines and wrinkles. Frankincense is an oil you can’t go wrong with!

Fun Fact: Did you know Frankincense Oil is actually produced from the resin of the Frankincense tree? The tree looks like a giant Bonsai tree. Check it out!

Giant Bonsai? Nope, it's a Frankincense Tree.

DiGize Essential Oil Blend

DiGize is my go-to if I eat too much, eat the wrong thing or even just don’t feel quite right. I also used it a lot while I was pregnant to help with that stubborn burning sensation in my throat every time I ate anything! It is my favorite oil for digestion support. 

Fun Tip: Can’t remember what DiGize is used for? Just think, DiGize = Digestion

Idaho Balsam Fir Essential Oil

From the beginning, I always loved the smell of this oil and was drawn to it. It helps me feel relaxed and eases my mind when it’s racing. I have also learned to love it for a better night’s rest as part of my bedtime routine.

Fun Tip: If for some reason I don’t have any Frankincense on hand, I typically grab my Idaho Balsam Fir instead.

What are your top 5 favorite Young Living Essential Oils? I’d love to hear what you have to say! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like more information. Have a blessed oily day!
