Always Use Pure 100% A Grade Essential Oils!
To achieve therapeutic effects, 100% pure, unadulterated Lavender Oil must be used.
Lavender Oil sold in the health food stores are cut with propylene glycol and synthetic constituents. The oils are devoid of its life force, its healing properties.
If you don't know the difference, you'll be the victim. When you see a half ounce bottle of Lavender Oil on the shelf for $5-$8, you KNOW that you're getting garbage, because pure Lavender Oil you can't buy in France for that price.
It is very important to know the difference.
Just to give you an understanding, there are four hybrids of lavenders, but they're called lavendins. They are not therapeutic for aroma therapy use, but that's what's sold in the United States predominantly, because people here don't know the difference.
Young Living grows Lavender on its own farm in France and on its farm in Idaho. Gary Young grows his own herbs in order to produce top quality Essential Oils.
Authority In The Field
Intensive Studies Around The World
Dr Gary Young spent 11 years in Europe, Israel and Egypt studying the history and workings of Essential Oils in the Universities.
His studies have been in the Medical University of Geneva Switzerland, 1984; the University of Paris; he has worked in two hospitals in Paris.
He studied in the Warwick University; the London University; the University of Cairo where he spent three years working, studying and traveling; the Hebrew University in Jerusalem;
He has spent five years off and on in Southern France learning the ancient art of distillation so he can maintain the purity of the Essential Oils.
Research from the Warwick University on Lavender Oil reveals:
Lavender is being used as "a fragrance component of pharmaceuticals, antiseptic ointments, creams, lotions, cosmetics, including soaps, detergents, creams, lotions and perfumes; lavender waters and colognes."
"Lavender now is starting to be widely used in aroma therapy for the treatment of burns, scalds, inflammation, wounds, ulcers, eczema, dermatitis, fainting, headaches, migraines, influenza, insomnia, hysteria, tension, infection, asthma, rheumatism, and arthritis."
Now, when you can get a bottle of lavender oil for $15,
who would want to have aspirin?
Lavender Oil - Completely Safe!
The Lavender Oil Dr. Gary Young produces on his farm in Idaho has the highest quality in the world (a linalyl acetate level of 67).
"Toxicity: subcutaneous injection showed low toxicity, no human phototoxicity reported." So it's totally safe, and that's the beautiful part of Essential Oils. You don't have to be concerned about having side effects from pure oils.
Cut, adulterated, synthetic oils - absolutely! But not pure oils!
... Healed Without A Scar
Not until 1921 did the knowledge of Essential Oils start to come back into our time, from an old gentleman, Dr. René-Maurice Gattefossé.
He was a French cosmetic chemist working in his lab one day when there was an explosion. He received a third degree thermal burn on his hand, wrist and forearm.
Knowing he needed to reduce the temperature, he reached over where one of his colleagues had just set a container with liquid in it, thought it was water, plunged his hand into it, and - it was Lavender Oil.
It healed his burn without a trace of a scar.
That man was so excited and, being a chemist, he took the lavender apart to understand and find out how it healed his burn without a scar.
Dr. Gattefossé gave the research to Dr. John Valnet who was a medical doctor in Paris, France. Valnet did nothing with it until the post war years (World War II) when he was working with war victims from shrapnel wounds and losing them to gangrene because the antibiotics wouldn't work.
Dr. Gattefossé sent him some oils and said "try the oils". He started using the oils and he saved every single patient.
That was the restoration of aroma therapy as it's called today. The year was 1946.
The studies never really started until 1967.
Helichrysum Or How To Hear Again
Dr. Richard Restick, leading neurologist, Washington DC, helped Dr. Young discover that the oils were electrical. They discovered that hearing could be restored with the Oil of Helichrysum. Not only from loss of hearing but from deafness, born deafness. Three people now have total restoration of hearing.
Dr. Restick explained, the oils are electrical. They stimulate the firing in the axon. They increase the neurotransmitter that converts in the axon to electron; it fires across the synaptic gap.
In a birth defect, the nerves did not connect properly.
The Essential Oils will literally increase the firing of that synapses; it will jump across the gap and connect to that nerve that did not connect. Once it starts firing, it will start growing together until it hardwires.
So Essential Oils have the ability to stimulate the regeneration
of damaged nerve tissue. - Helichrysum.
