Detox Your Home Meeting Script

1 Detox Your Home Meeting Script General Tips as You Begin Be sure to introduce yourself and the class, even if you think everyone already knows. How long will the class be and what can the participant expect? If the room is small enough, have everyone introduce themselves with their name, where they are from, and a fun fact. Be sure to pause and ask for questions regularly throughout the class. If you do not know an answer, say so, and ask if anyone in the audience knows. If people are falling asleep, make them stand up and move around. Ask them to teach each other and get them chatting. Slide 1 Example Script: Hi, my name is Mandy and I am a single mom, a nurse, and an executive leader with Young Living. Thank you so much for coming to the Detox Your Home meeting tonight. This is the next step in a journey to wellness that has changed my life and I know can change yours too. We will be here for about an hour tonight, and we will hear your experiences with your brand new essential oils, and get ready for the next 2 months. Are you ready to go?! Slide 2 Example Script: The road to wellness can initially seem difficult to navigate, especially if you are unsure of where to start. Slide 3 Example Script: Thankfully, you have already taken a huge step by purchasing essential oils from Young Living, and if you haven t gotten your kit come talk to me after the meeting with the person who brought you here tonight. Young Living is the original in the essential oil industry and cannot be beat on quality or variety of essential oils. When you got your kit, last month I encouraged you to play with the oils, and it was great to see some of you at our DIY class last month. We talked there about how the first step in using essential oils is to...

2 Slide 4 Example Script: Diffuse daily, make one DIY per week, and discover a way to cook with the oils each week. What have been some of the favorite ways that you have used the essential oils? [Allow the audience to share what they have made, what diffuser blends they have created, and how they have cooked with the essential oils. Keep an open ear for anytime someone mentions an adverse effect, especially a skin reaction. If this happens early in the conversation, allow a few more people to talk, and then go back to that skin reaction as a segway to the next section.] Slide 5 Example Script: It is interesting that [name the person] said that she/he had a skin reaction, because, when this happens, it could be a product of our environment. Did you know that the average home contains cleaners, personal care products, and foods that contain harmful chemicals that cause a wide variety of harm from hormone disruption, to allergies, to potentially even more serious health issues? We need to make sure that we have a home that supports our healthy body, and we can only do that by addressing what is in common cleaners, soaps, detergents, and personal care products around the house. Slide 6 Example script: Here are some examples of potentially harmful ingredients common in household cleaner, laundry soap, dish soap and even things like leather cleaners. This is not good! o Phthlates (THAL-ates) are possible endocrine disruptors that can change hormone levels and cause birth defects. They can interfere with intellectual development of babies and children, and may cause preterm labor. They also have been shown to be associated with allergies, insulin resistance, diabetes and obesity. o Triclosan has been associated with higher rates of allergies to both food and skin allergens. It can increase and decrease both estrogen and testosterone, and is known to pass into blood, urine and breast milk. Even worse, it can react with chlorine in our water supply, and form a byproduct that when exposed to the sun is converted into dioxins, and dioxins. Dioxins are known to be toxic to mammals, birds, and fish.

3 o 2-butoxyethanol has been shown to cause skeleton defects in the fetal rats, and can inhibit coordination. o Perchlorethylene is a central nervous system depressant, and is a class 2 carcinogen. o And this is just the very surface of the bad stuff in cleaners! Chlorine, ammonia, quaternary ammonia compounds and sodium hydroxide are all very irritating to the skin and the lungs, and may have other harmful effects on the body. Slide 7 Example Script: But Young Living offers an alternative. Thieves Household Cleaner does not contain any of the harmful ingredients that we just mentioned. Instead it has naturally-derived, plant-based ingredients that are non-toxic. We just finished talking about everything that is not in Thieves, so what exactly is in Thieves? First it has 2 sulfates that act like surfactants. Surfactants are molecules that are half fatty and half watery, so they help to lift oils away from surfaces and get them into solution with water. I know what you are saying: SULFATES?! But don t worry, not all sulfates are created equally: the sulfates in Thieves Cleaners are derived from coconut oil. Another surfactant in Thieves is derived from sugar and fatty alcohols. The preservative in Thieves cleaner is made from plant material and is readily biodegradable. You also get the fabulous aroma from Thieves Essential oil blend. Not only is it an amazingly green cleaner, it also is multi-purpose. Slide 8 Example Script: Thieves Household Cleaner can be used on virtually any surface in your home or office, including fabrics, upholstery, carpet, floors, walls, dishes, and more. The reason it can do so much is because it is so concentrated, and it can be diluted down to meet any need.

4 Slide 9 Example Script For example, if you wanted to clean glass, windows or fabric, you simply put one capful in 3 cups of water. For wood, vinyl, or to clean fruit, you add one capful of cleaner to 2 cups of water. For heavy duty jobs, you can use one capful in 1 cup of water for things like the floor, bathrooms and kitchen or as a hand spray. Since it is so concentrated... Slide 10 Example Script: It is also very cost effective. Even though $22 may sound like a lot for a cleaner, you will get up to 29 bottles of light cleaner, and the bottles of the concentrate last for months! In fact, almost everything that I am discussing tonight will last more than a month, so don t be concerned that you will have to buy everything we talk about each month. Some you may not need but every 6 months or more. Slide 11 Example Script: The Thieves Dish Soap is a great way to remove potentially harmful substances from around your food. The dish soap is a plant-based formula that contains Thieves and citrus essential oils. It has gentle surfactants that lift grime away from dishes. Decyl glucoside is the primary surfactant and it is so mild, it is a preferred ingredient in baby shampoo. Sodium lauroyl lactylate is a salt derived from milk or coconut oil, and this can help to moisturize your hands while you wash. Slide 12 Example Script: Thieves Laundry Soap prevents those bad chemicals from coming from your clothes through your skin into your body. This one too contains decyl glucoside as the primary surfactant, and has no SLS, dyes, petrochemicals, formaldehyde, phosphates, synthetic perfumes or optical brighteners. It is a plant-based formula that is super concentrated! Just ½ of a capful is needed for most washes (though you can use a bit more if clothes are heavily soiled), and only ¼ of a capful is needed for a high efficiency washer. So out of that small-looking bottle, you get 64 loads of laundry. It also contains natural enzymes to help chew through the grime on your clothes. Jade Lemon, Bergamot, Thieves EOs

5 Slide 13 Example Script: Thieves Spray is a simple way to carry the power of Thieves on the road with you. It is perfect for airplane tray tables, doorknobs, toilet seats, and even clothing. It contains denatured alcohol, water, coconut oil, and Thieves essential oil. Some people spray this Thieves in their mouth, but since the alcohol is denatured, it is not intended for ingestion. I recommend not using it by mouth, but instead using it how it is labeled as a surface spray Slide 14 Example Script: Now let s move on and talk about Thieves AromaBright Toothpaste. This is just one product in a group of Thieves oral care products including mouthwash and dental floss. Thieves oral care products are whitening and brightening, they create an alkaline environment and this is bad for bacterial growth. They are gentle and strong, and slowly releases essential oils throughout the day giving you fresh breath. Slides 15 Example Script: Thieves AromaBright is free from fluoride, triclosan, sodium laurel sulfate, propylene glycol, saccharin, synthetics, artificle colors, dyes and genetically modified ingredients. So why do we not want fluoride when most dentists out there say we need it? o Fluoride can concentrate in the bones and joints and cause fluorosis and this can potentially lead to bone fractures. o It also has been loosely linked to arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, endocrine changes, stomach upset and harm to male fertility o It also accumulates in the pineal gland and this may cause changes to the sleep-wake cycle by altering melatonin output. o Young girls exposed to fluoride can also start puberty and menstruation earlier because of the changing low levels of melatonin. Sodium lauryl sulfate has been linked to cancers, neurotoxicity, skin irritation, and endocrine disruption, and propylene glycol Thieves AromaBright is a simple way to remove potentially harmful toxins from your daily routine. Let s take a closer look at what is in the toothpaste.

6 Slide 16 Example Script: The base of Thieves AromaBright toothpaste is virgin coconut oil with calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. It is sweetened with Xylitol, and sunflower lecithin holds it all together in a solution. In addition to Thieves essential oil, it also contains ocotea (oc-o-te-a), peppermint and spearmint essential oils. Since this toothpaste contains Xylitol it is not good for your pets, especially dogs. Dogs secrete insulin in response to xylitol even though there are no calories in xylitol. This can be dangerous because blood sugars can decrease, leading to hypoglycemia and even death. So keep this one away from the pets! Slide 17 Example Script: The last product we will cover tonight is Thieves Hand Soap. Just like the other Thieves products it is free from harmful ingredients including sulfates, dyes, and other harsh chemicals that we have already discussed. It has a brighter aroma because of the addition of lemon and orange essential oils, and the hand pump give a rich, luxurious lather. Slide 18 Do you feel like you have a greater awareness of what is in your household products that may be preventing health and wellness in your family? What are you the most interested in trying? Slide 19 Here is an example of an essential rewards order that can help to detoxify your home from harmful chemical. The best part is that almost everything on this order will last several months, the only thing you will need to buy next month is toothpaste and maybe the hand soap. Otherwise the cleaner, laundry soap, dish soap and spray will last months. If you haven t heard of essential rewards, this is Young Living s loyalty program that allows you to earn points back on all purchases. There is no fee to sign up, you can change your order every month, and you can cancel at any time. You simply place at least a 50 PV order each month. This order is a great example of how you can simply take items off of your grocery list and get products that support your family s wellness every day.
