Longevity Essential Oil

Transcription

1 Longevity Essential Oil I was researching one of the oil blends in Young Living and it seems it is important to know the ORAC Value of foods and oils. So, I found some information that explains what the ORAC value is and how important it is to our bodies. I also did not know our bodies can rust out on the inside. Interested? Read on Longevity Essential Oil is a very powerful antioxidant oil blend that prevents premature aging and promotes longevity (long life). The ORAC value of this oil is 1,511,025 µte/100g, which is greater t han any food or single essential oil known to man! What causes Aging? As we age, our bodies rust and go rancid on the inside. This is called oxidation. Anti-oxidants prevent oxidation in our bodies, so it is very important to eat a lot of anti-oxidant foods like fruits and vegetables. There is a measurement called ORAC where they measure a foods ability to prevent oxidation. ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, which indicates a foods ability to absorb free radicals which cause oxidation. There are many schools of thought on this, but we do know that the oxidative stress or free radical theory is one of the strongest. The theory is based on the fact that continued oxidative stress to cells, receptors and DNA in the body cause aging and disease. The good news is one of the best ways we can decrease the amount of oxidative stress is by increasing our uptake of antioxidants and because we now know the antioxidant value of the foods, essential oils and supplements we are taking, by the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) value, we can make wise decisions on what to use. What is an ORAC Value? ORAC tells you the antioxidant capacity of a food item through a study developed by the USDA researchers at Tufts University in Boston. This is the only test that measures the degree of free-radical inhibition of a food item!

2 Most of us think that berries such as blueberries and strawberries have high antioxidant values; however, most essential oils knock the food values out of the ballpark! For instance here are some common values for food items: Ningxia Wolfberries = 30,300 µte/100g Blueberries = 2,400 µte/100g Spinach = 1,400 µte/100g Carrots = 210 µte/100g Not bad. Now, look at the values of these oils: Longevity Essential Oil = 1,511,025 µte/100g Clove Essential Oil = 1,078,700 µte/100g Myrrh Essential Oil = 379,800 µte/100g Fennel Essential Oil = 238,400 µte/100g Wow! So now you can see that the value for Longevity essential oil (and Clove) is HUGE!!! So much for making sure you are eating your carrots and taking your vitamins every single day! Switch that motto to Are you taking your daily essential oils? Young Living produces Longevity essential oil and believes taking an antioxidant supplement is important to good health and should be taken everyday. And, as such, they also make it available as a Dietary Supplement in softgels for easier consumption. So now we don t have to be filling vegetable capsules with the oil on a daily basis (although you could)! Why are Antioxidants so Important? Antioxidants have shown to reduce the risk of age related conditions. And prevent the development of many chronic diseases such as heart disease, Alzheimer s disease, cancer, cataracts, Rheumatoid arthritis and more! And the research that has been conducting shows that taking an antioxidant supplement daily improves overall health and well -being. Raspberries are considered a great anti-oxidant food and they measure 1,220 on the ORAC scale. Clove oil, which is in the Longevity oil blend, measures about 2 million. Look at the power in this oil to keep our bodies from oxidizing (or rusting from the inside out!) So, What is in Longevity Essential Oil? There are four therapeutic grade essential oils in Longevity essential oil. Here is a brief description of each one.

3 Frankincense Essential Oil (Boswellia carteri) has anti-tumoral, antiinflammatory and immune stimulating properties. The high sesquiterpenes level stimulates and oxygenates the limbic system of the brain, which elevates our mood and helps us relax (overcome stress). Cancer fighting. This exquisite oil was known as a ʻcure allʼ in ancient times. Today, it is studied for its anti-cancer, anti-depressant, anti-inflammatory, and immune supporting capabilities. And by the way, frankincense is 12% limonene. Orange Essential Oil (Citrus sinensis) is elevating to the mind and body and brings joy and peace. A 1995 Mie University study documented the ability of citrus fragrances to combat depression and boost immunity. It enhances vitamin absorption. This oil consists of about 95% of the molecule called limonene. Limonene has been studied and found to not only inhibit cancer, but also to regress it. So limonene is a molecule that we will want to take into our bodies every single day! Clove Essential Oil (Syzygium aromaticum) has antiseptic, antiviral, antiinfectious and antifungal properties. It is COX inhibitor (anti -inflammatory) and has one of the highest ORAC values of any plant in the world! It measure about 2 million. Even more importantly, clove oil has been researched in its ability to reduce the stickiness of blood cells, and was found to be even more effective than aspirin in reducing blood stickiness., without the side effects. So clove oil may help reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Thyme Essential Oil (Thymus vulgaris CT thymol) has antimicrobial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. It dramatically increases glutathione production in the liver, brain and the heart. It also prevents the oxidation of fats and helps retard the aging process. This oil was used during World War I to fight against anthrax so it may help us stay healthy. It also prevents the rancidity (or oxidation) of fats i n our bodies. Our cells have a fatty coating, which tends to go rancid (or oxidize) over time. When that happens, oxygen and nutrients cannot get into the cell easily, and waste material cannot get out. By protecting that fatty coating, thyme oil may help prevent the aging process. Thyme oil also prevents a process called ʻangiogenesis,ʼ which is where blood vessels grow to cancer tumors and bring nourishment to them. So, it may help reduce the risk of certain cancers! The other ingredients are: Fractionated Coconut Oil (distilled from pure coconut oil), gelatin, glycerin, enteric coating solution and mixed tocopherols (compounds of which many have Vitamin E activity). Longevity may be able to help reduce the risk of cancer, strokes, heart attacks, aging, and depression. It should be part of our everyday life, from now on.

The Longevity Softgels are enteric coated and have an ORAC value of 150,000 µte/100g. The value is slightly lower than the pure essential oil because it also contains some additional vegetable oils, but easier to take and same great benefits! Very high ORAC for an antioxidant supplement! Oil: Use diluted 20:80 dilution (one part essential oil: four part of vegetable oil). Then, Apply drops (2-4) on ears, throat, spine, wrists, neck, thymus or feet Apply drops (2-4) on ears, throat, spine, wrists, neck, thymus or feet Apply to chakras/vitaflex points Directly inhale/diffuse Dietary Supplement Place 2-4 drops in a gel capsule, take once/ twice per day.

5 Good oil for the First Aid Kit? No Can this oil be used for Animals? Yes, certainly. I gave a capsule a day to my dog (medium). Large could go up to 2 capsules per day. Horses 2-4 capsules per day. Note about animals: Certain oils can be very toxic to cats. Citrus and pine products and oils in particular if not of therapeutic grade! Please consult your vet if you are not sure about applying any essential oil to your pet. What are the Safety Precautions? Children under 5 years of age should not use use Longevity essential oil. Can cause irritation to the skin, therefore dilution is necessary. Repeated use many result in contact sensitization. Avoid direct sunlight for 3-6 hours after applying to skin. Longevity may be the most important health supporting product available in the world. Shouldn t you have a bottle in your house? Essential oils may be the most profound health support we may see in our lifetime, capable of changing medicine, as we know it. They seem to be especially supportive to ease pain and depression, reduce degeneration and illness, and relieve stress. They are powerful and yet gentle, non-toxic, safe to use for children and pets, and hopefully, they are the medicine of the future. The bottom line is that they can help us live longer, healthier, and happier lives. Precautions (optional) There are just a couple of precautions when you use oils. Some oils can heat up on the skin keep vegetable oil handy and gently rub over the area, if an oil feels hot. Water will drive the oil in and make it hotter, always use vegetable oil over the area if an oil heats up. Young Living has a vegetable oil blend called V-6 that you can keep on hand, even though you will rarely need it. Citrus oils are photosensitive meaning they will heat up in the sun.
