Why Choose Young Living and How To Get Started
My journey of incorporating Young Living into our home over the past three years has been incredible. I truly believe that God has given us the ability to support us in all areas of our life. Who doesn’t need help every once in a while with emotional, physical, and spiritual well being?
Perhaps your a bit skeptical – I know my first class I thought it was a real hippie experience until I started listening to the difference and why every family should be using essential oils.
Why Did I Choose Young Living Over Every Other
Company Out There?
I did a LOT of research and decided to choose Young Living for my family. I believe in Young Living, their incredible therapeutic-grade essential oils and their purpose to bring wellness and abundance to the world. I believe in their unsurpassed integrity and desire to provide the best possible 100% therapeutic grade essential oils for their members.
When I received my Starter Kit and opened the Young Living Lavender and compared it to the a few of the other brands my friends had been using from another company. In fact, my friend even made the statement that her lemon tasted soapy compared to Young Living. Test for yourself and not only can you see, smell and know there is a difference.
I love Young Living’s Seed to Seal® process – which means I can feel 100% confident about the quality of oils I use.
It is so easy to join Young Living to receive wholesale prices. There are no monthly order requirements or annual fees.
Why Should I Become A Wholesale Member?
Great question! This is a fabulous option that provides you 24% off retail price! As you use the oils and you share your testimonials with friends and family, you have the option {zero pressure} of earning commissions when others join and purchase Young Living oils. It is a great way to pay for the oils your family is using or earn an income. But again, no pressure at all!
Is there a monthly order minimum?
NO. You can just order what you need when you need it.
I just really want to use oils myself. Do I have to sell Young Living products to be a wholesale member?
NO. There is ZERO obligation to sell oils when you join as an wholesale member. However, if you ever change your mind, you can jump right in. I provide business support and education to help you get your business off the ground should you decide to go that direction through a private Facebook group.
Are you *sure* there are no monthly order requirements?
To retain an active account, you have to place one 50PV minimum order per year. If you do not place an order, then your account with go inactive, no penalty at all.
Is there a way to save even more money?
Yes! The Essential Rewards program offers reduced shipping, credit for free oils & more! Plus each month there are great promotions for free oils when you place an Essential Rewards order. I love free stuff!
What kit do you recommend that I get started with?

Sign Up Process: Step-by-Step
1. Click over to the sign-up page, super easy!
2. Choose Your membership Option – I highly recommend the Wholesale Membership. There are NO strings attached for being a wholesale member. You aren’t required to order monthly or anything. If you select “Retail Customer” you will not receive wholesale pricing, you won’t have access to starter kits and you will pay retail cost which is 24% more than wholesale, and will not be eligible for the Facebook group support .
3. My ID number should already be filled in for you – select your country and your language preference. (#1896317)
4. Fill out your name, email (this is important, if you leave it blank I have no way to contact you and support you!) billing address, shipping address, and contact info. (The reason you are asked to list your social security number is for tax purposes. If you make over $600/year selling Young Living products, you will receive a 1099 form in the mail, as is required by law. Young Living will never share this info with anyone.) If you do not feel comfortable putting in your social security number (this is only for tax purposes if you decide to turn this into a business) then you can get an EIN from the IRS in just a few seconds here and use that number instead (the IRS just needs to be able to connect some number with you for tax purposes).
5. Create your password and pin which you will use to log in to your account and order your oils.
6. Choose the kit you want. {I highly recommend one of the Premium Starter Kits.} You can choose between

7. CONFIRM YOUR ORDER. I have had many folks miss this step and end up not fully checking out. To confirm, the tool will log you in and it will show you your order again and it will make you enter in your payment information again. We wouldn’t want that to happen because then you would not get your oils! That’s it! Congratulations! Welcome to the amazing world of essential oils! You will receive a welcome email from me with a ton of resources and information to get your started.

The ABC Essential Oil List
My kitchen and office are lined up with Essential oils! In fact my husband found matches in the bathroom and wondered why they were there and I told him how I lit one of the candles while soaking in the tub with a couple of drops of lavender. He then replied, “I thought we didn’t believe in candles anymore” .
It’s quite skeptical how my husband was at first and is now promoting them not only from home but even at church. My office has a table there that contains a variety of oils.
Just last week I had a church member one week over due with her third child. She was miserable. I grabbed Clary Sage and Jasmine and put several drops around her ankles and on top of her feet. I told her also to add Lavender also since she had that at home. Within hours she went into labor and had her baby girl shortly after (two hours when she was scheduled to be induced) She got her natural help and planned delivery! 
It seems like there is one for any ailment or condition you might have. You can also use them for cleaning, there is one for practically everything!
I found this ABC “go to” list for newbies, and people like me, who want a quick reference to grab when you want to find the right essential oil. I tried to include some of the most common conditions and some essential oil lingo that is a must have if you want to be able to talk essential oils!
Note: For the conditions listed only one or two oils are suggested; however, there are many oils or blends that will work great too!
Here’s A To Z List Of The Many Uses For Essential Oils:
A is for Anxiety –Apply Valor to bottom of feet or neck. Also use *breathe in method (see below). Valor II is available if Valor is out of stock.
B is for Brain – Use Peppermint to boost memory and concentration. *Breathe in (see below) I know Brain Power is great too as well as Clarity blend.
C is for Colds – Use Thieves oil. Apply 1-3 drops neat or diluted 50:50 on throat (upper), chest and /or back. Some people apply it to the bottom of their feet, massage a few drops (neat which means undiluted). I add this with peppermint to my diffuser as well as Eucalyptus . Want to take it up another level, get the Thieves spray and spray in your mouth! Note: Be cautious using thieves oil on infants as it can be hot and/or irritate the baby’s skin.
D is for Diffuser – Diffusers help get the essential oil into the air in small particles (molecules) so you can inhale the essential oils effectively for the body to use. There are many types from attractive plug in ones that send a fine mist into the air or homemade reed diffusers. The oils will stay in the air for several hours promoting a more healthy environment even long after you may not smell them.
E is for Ears – If you have tinnitus (ringing in the ears) try Helichrysum oil and massage 1 drop diluted around the outside of the ear. The one place you don’t want to use oils is in the Eyes or Ear canal.
F is for Fatigue – I tried this one and it helped! Put 2-4 drops, diluted 50:50, of Peppermint on the thyroid area of the neck or temples and behind ears 2 to 3 times daily. I also made my own Peppermint and Lavender inhalers from Etsy .
G is for Gout – Use Juniper or Frankincense topically. Massage 1-3 drops (diluted) on joint.
H is for Headache – Put Peppermint oil (diluted with carrier oil) on temples. M-Grain is my favorite for tension of the neck!
I is for Insect Bite – Use the oil blend Purification, Lavender or Peppermint. Apply oil (diluted) to bite as soon as bitten.
J is for Joint Pain – Apply Wintergreen or Peppermint 3-5 drops diluted 50:50. The Blend PanAway is also great for this!
K is for Kidneys – Use Lemon essential oil. *Use breathe in method below. If you need support also for the bladder, Lemongrass is much stronger and is one of our Vitality oils to be used by adding a drop to your water and drinking from a glass container several times a day.
L is for Lymphatic system – To stimulate and detoxify use Lemongrass or Rosemary. Diffuse or use *breathe in method.
M is for Mosquito bites – Put 2 drops Tea tree oil or Lavender mixed with water or carrier oil on bite.
N is for Neat – This means when applying topically , the oil is not diluted and used straight from the bottle. Some people prefer to dilute, however when applying many essential oils to the bottom of feet it is usually fine to use neat.
O is for Oral Care – Peppermint and Spearmint, mix with water and use as mouthwash or brush teeth with, spit out. Helps bad breath and it is a great antiseptic. Orange will make your teeth whiter too.
P is for Pain – Use Peppermint for sore muscles. Take 4-6 drops and massage. We also offer a great massage oil for sore muscles such as Ortho Sport and Ortho Ease!
Q is for Quick – Essential oils work quickly. Studies have found that when essential oils are applied topically they were able to be used in the body by every cell in 20 minutes or less.
R is for Restless Legs – Use Chamomile or Lavender. Use *breathe in method (below), diffuse or apply topically 2-4 drops (I prefer diluted).
S is for Stretch Marks – Frankincense or Lavender 3 to 6 drops neat or diluted 50:50, 2 x day.
T is for Sore Throat – Eucalyptus oil, *breathe in method. Topical 50:50 to throat or steam in method: Add a few drops of oil to water, put towel over head and breathe in.
U is for Underarm – Mix approximately 10 drops Lavender oil with 1/4 cup baking soda for a natural deodorant.
V is for Varicose Veins – Use Lemon. Several drops mixed with carrier oil, rub on veins.
W is for Wrinkles – Use Lavender or Frankincense. Mix 3 to 4 drops 50:50 with carrier oil. Be careful not to get the oil in eyes.
X is for X-Ray – Melrose Essential oil blend for radiation therapy exposure (protection). Apply a few drops mixed with 50:50 with carrier oil.
Y is for Young – Look younger by applying Frankincense oil, which can help reduce and prevent wrinkles.
Z is for zzzzzz……Sleep – Put a few drops of Lavender on your pillow if you’re having trouble getting to sleep as well as a drop on your wrist and a couple of drops on the bottom of your feet
. I have a diffuser beside my bed with a couple of drops of lavender.
*Breathing In Essential Oils
Put 2 to 3 drops in your hand and after rubbing hands together, cup them around your nose and breathe in as the day goes on.
*Topical Applications
When applying topically you may want to dilute with a carrier oil such as coconut oil, almond oil or olive oil as some oils can be very strong if applied undiluted. It is recommended to do a skin patch test when using an essential oil for the first time.
Precautions:
For babies and small children use of essential oils should be done with caution in mind as they can be strong for them. For babies and children it is best to dilute them with a carrier oil such as olive oil or coconut oil.
Menthol containing oils, especially, should be used cautiously with children. These include oils such as; eucalyptus, camphor, and peppermint. They should not be used around the face and should be diluted for any small child.
Use all oils according to your discretion, oils are holistic care to support your body. If you need medical attention please keep this in mind and see also disclosure.

Why Use Essential Oils
My question to you is “Why not”?
Essential Oils are great getting help with stress and toxins plus have been shown to help with many issues you may be having. A great way to see if your body is lacking in anything is to get a Zyto Scan. If you are local, we can plan to meet so just shoot me a comment and I can get back with you to arrange a time to do your body scan.
We are exposed to unwanted toxins every day. In our food, in our beauty products, even in the air we breathe. We live in an age where every few years another chemical is banned because it’s discovered (after 5, 10 or 20 years!) that is detrimental to our health. Cancer is on the rise with 1 in 3 people getting cancer now days.
Toxins are stressful to your body — but they aren’t the only thing causing you stress!
Stress can also come from emotional events: we deal with trauma, negative people, hurtful conversations. Our own mental patterns can cause us emotional stress.
Our lifestyles can cause us stress, too. Maybe you are over-scheduled, or can’t sleep well, or have trouble eating a balanced diet.
So what do we do about all these toxins and stress?
You may have guessed already, but essential oils may help!
Toxins and Stress: How Essential Oils May Help
- Essential oils are environmentally friendly! If you’re like me, you like to reach for a natural solution first. Essential oils are a safer, non-toxic option to use for cleaning and personal care. I have them in my purse and in my bathroom, plus my husband even uses oils for cologne.
- Essential oils can help us cope with stress. Life can be stressful! We can work out to get rid of some of our stress, but life will never be stress-free. I use essential oils every day to help me deal with everyday stress (and even some of the bigger stresses in my life). I use them to help me be creative, before fitness, after fitness or just when I am a tad nervous or feeling stressed about an issue.
- Essential oils can help you live a healthier lifestyle. Did you know there are essential oils that help reduce food cravings? Or help you relax before bed so you can let go of all the worries from the day? Or help you balance your emotions so you can make choices that create more harmony in your life? Lavender is my go to oil at night and it helps me with my sleep. A few drops in the diffuser at bedside along with a few drops on my feet puts me into a relaxing deep sleep very quickly.
So you see being exposed to stress and toxins can prevent you from being the best you can be and living a life of abundance!

Why The Hype About Essential Oils
What is an essential oil and why all of sudden the craze? I purchased my first oil kit over two years ago and found that it was a perfect fit for my family! In fact, I use oils everyday just like I wouldn’t go without toothpaste, I can’t imagine my life without using the oils.
Before I got started, the research was very important. There are several brands I would recommend but before jumping into buying a full kit, I would do some trial and error first to compare. I have several friends who use different brands for different reasons. For instance you may want to buy the Lavender from Young Living and DoTerra to compare prices/smell/quality/etc. I chose to purchase from Young Living because of the relationship I had with a close friend and from the research I done on my own. There are tons of info on the internet, some which could be bogus or not, but nothing compares to your own experience. In fact, I have had people to switch to Young Living due to the fact of the taste of Lemon and some of the other ingestible oils. You will know the difference after experience.
What Are Essential Oils?
- Essential oils are highly concentrated aromatic essences from plants — they can be from trees, shrubs, flowers, grasses, etc. I like to call them “concentrated herbs” just to keep it simple.
- They can be clear, amber, blue, or green. They can be thin in consistency (like lavender) or very thick (like vetiver).
- Essential oils actually come from specific parts of a plant. They might come from the peel (like orange oil), or from the needles and twigs (like pine), or from the tree resin (like frankincense).
How Essential Oils are Made
How these concentrated oils are made is actually really important.
The key to producing quality essential oils is to preserve as many of the delicate compounds as possible!
Take lavender for example: you can grow the same exact type of lavender plant in France and one in your garden and they will have similar, but different, properties. This is because the soil, climate, altitude, and many other factors will be different, therefore producing a very different oil with its own unique properties.
Some low-quality essential oils can be made from plants that were treated with pesticides and extracted with chemical solvents. These are NOT the oils you want to use for you or your family. I have had people tell me… so Melissa, did you know you can get oils from Walmart now? I wanted to scream! So it is important to know that lavender aroma may somewhat “smell” good but that doesn’t mean it is real lavender. Who wants “fake” when it comes to your health and wellness?
It’s important to choose essential oils that are made from high-quality plants and herbs that don’t contain GMOs, pesticides or other harmful chemicals.
Making an essential oil takes a lot of work and in some cases, tons of plant material to make even just a tiny amount of essential oil.
For instance, to make just 1 oz of rose essential oil, you would need 60,000 roses. Crazy right? It’s no wonder high-quality essential oils may seem expensive. Have you ever thought of purchasing 60,000 roses? Imagine the time, energy and money it would take to get that many roses!
This is why some oils are very rare and sometimes expensive because they are either cold pressed, steamed or extracted from bark.
When you consider you can replace beauty products, cleaners, and other household products with essential oils, it usually comes out to be cheaper and way more natural — a win-win all around! Do you want a chemical free home? It’s the best decision I ever made!

Essential Oils for Pet Owners and Groomers
Using aromatherapy to tackle dog health problems is starting to gain recognition as a safe and effective alternative treatment.
Aromatherapy is more than just making your dog smell good! 100% pure therapeutic essential oils and hydrosols have medicinal properties and, if used appropriately, can be effective in treating an array of dog health problems – from skin irritations to motion sickness to certain behavioral problems such as hyperactivity. We can also blend different oils to create synergy.
Several situations are known to be unpleasant for dogs, and going to the groomer can be one of them. This can be due to being manipulated while restrained, having certain sensitive body areas touched, being shampooed, brushed, and having their nails trimmed, etc.
Signs of fear in dogs while at the groomer include:
- Agitation
- Panting
- Salivating excessively
- Trembling
- Whining
- Urinating/soiling
- Attempting to escape
- Attempting to bite due to fear*
Fortunately, there are several options to help your dog cope with going to the groomer.
Some groomers use diffusers in their facilities and therapeutic grade oils in a spray form on the blankets and tables they use for grooming.
A day before going to the groomer, put the pet diffuser with lavender oil or one of the recommended oils below on your dog diluted. This will give your dog 24 hours of calming effect before the visit. You can also spray your own essential oil spray on a bandana to place around your dog’s neck. 
Dog Aromatherapy Safety
Just as certain scents will make you feel calmer, or more alert, less moody, or more energized — the same is true for your dog.
Dog owners everywhere are rushing to try a particular Essential Oil scent (or combination of scents) to see if it has any effect on their dog’s moods or behaviors.
Many liquid potpourri products and essential oils, including oil of cinnamon, citrus, pennyroyal, peppermint, pine, sweet birch, tea tree (melaleuca), wintergreen, and ylang ylang, are poisonous to dogs. Both ingestion and skin exposure can be toxic. — VCA Animal Hospitals
Reasons To Try Pet Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy has been used to help dogs in the following ways:
- to tame aggression
- to lessen the effects of arthritis
- to ease pain from cancer
- to decrease coughs, congestion & respiratory problems
- to help with digestion problems
- to stop diarrhea
- to treat dry skin & itching
- to repel fleas & other insects
- to help with gingivitis & bad breath
- to help your pet deal with grief
- to temper hyperactivity
- to treat insect bites & stings
- to help with nervousness & anxiety
- to end nausea
- to treat Ringworm
- to end motion & travel sickness
- to stop vomiting
Essential oils are very safe and much less toxic than the chemical filled shampoos and flea collars out on the market. As long as you don’t use too much and stay away from oils like wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) and mustard (Brassica nigra), you will be fine. — Natural Dog Health Remedies
- Leave your dog in the room with the diffuser for about 30 minutes, and your dog will breathe in the Essential Oils as they evaporate into the air.
- Do this twice a day for best effects.
- The results will be very subtle.
How To Apply Essential Oils By Massage
Before applying to your dog’s skin, always dilute the Essential Oil in a base oil first. You’ll want to combine 2-3 drops of the Essential Oil (or combination of Essential Oils) of your choice with 1 teaspoon of carrier oil. Then, massage gently into a hairless (or least hairy) area of the skin — such as the armpit, groin or inner thigh — for 3 to 4 minutes.
- When applying Essential Oils directly on your dog, only apply to areas from the neck down to the tail.
- NEVER apply anywhere near the eyes, nose, or face.
- And never ever should Essential Oils be given internally to your dog.
- Likewise, if at all possible, you want to avoid placing the oil in a spot that your dog could lick.
- Do not use Essential Oils on pregnant or seizure-prone dogs without checking with your vet first.
Good carrier oils to consider when massaging Essential Oils onto your pet: Olive Oil, Safflower Oil, Jojoba Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Avocado Oil
TIP: Grapeseed oil and Avocado oil tend to penetrate the skin the quickest.

The diffuser disperses the oils without heating them so they retain their therapeutic benefits. When inhaled, the oils are easily absorbed through the lungs. Depending on the oil used, diffusing can cleanse the air of odor, remove airborne toxins, calm overactive or stressed pets, and support respiration.

What Toxic Poison Is In Your CHAPSTICK?
Let’s chat about that toxic chapstick you’ve got in your purse. You know… the one you apply on your lips and your kids lips all year-long. Sadly, its riddled with toxic ingredients many of which are carcinogenic, endocrine disrupters, and immunotoxins. You may or may not be aware of what is in your chapstick but as cancer is a constant awareness and more and more people are trying to find ways to be healthy and provide a healthy environment for their family, chapstick falls into just one of those issues.
Now I know what you are thinking, how can just a small thing hurt me? Well take a look at the toxic ingredients and maybe a few times a year you may use this to help “heal” your lips, however the damage and the exposure is contributing to all the other many factors we expose ourselves to.
I know, dry lips are common any time of the year and I have seen several people actually addicted to chapstick. In fact, you see it in the checkout lane at the grocery store, drug store, and even the gas station and it is so enticing to grab one on the go and stick in your purse. I have been guilty of using it for stocking stuffers!
Common toxic ingredients include petroleum or its by products, aluminum or its by products, parabens, toxic dyes and soy. Many brands give the appearance that they are safe, but in fact just are NOT.
For instance, let’s look at Chapstick Lip Balm in Cherry flavor:
Camphor: Camphor is a waxy substance derived from the camphor tree. It’s classified by the Environmental Working Group as potentially toxic. According to Medscape, “Ingestion of even small doses of camphor can cause fatal poisoning in small children. It produces gastrointestinal and central nervous system irritation after toxic ingestion. Nausea and vomiting followed by agitation and seizures are common.” Why would Pfizer include a potentially dangerous ingredient in a product that kids use all the time?
Fragrance
When “fragrance” is listed in the ingredients, you can assume it’s synthetic—and not a blend of natural flower extracts. The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) reports that “95% of the ingredients used to create fragrances today are synthetic compounds derived from petroleum, including benzene derivatives, aldehydes, and many other known toxins and sensitizers.” According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), there are potentially hundreds of chemicals in a single product’s secret fragrance mixture.
Isopropyl Myristate
Though it’s used to moisturizer, isopropyl myristate actually dries the skin and hair, causing cracks and fissures. It also encourages bacterial growth. It’s classified as a human skin irritant, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Light Mineral Oil
Mineral oil is a semisolid mixture of hydrocarbons sourced from petroleum. According to EWG, it may be an organ and immune system toxicant as well as a carcinogen. Light mineral oil can also be potentially contaminated with cancer-causing chemical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Additionally, the environmental impact of using products sourced from crude oil, a non-renewable resource, is also of concern.
Methylparaben and Propylparaben
These are both parabens, preservatives used to discourage the growth of microbes in personal care products. They’re known endocrine disruptors, which means they disrupt hormone function and are linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. Endocrine disruptors mimic estrogen in the body by binding to estrogen receptors on cells and wreaking havoc on the body’s organ systems, especially the reproductive system.
Paraffin
Paraffin is a petrochemical (a byproduct of petroleum) and by-product of kerosene. According to David Pollack, founder of Just Ask David, it traps toxins and excess oil on the body so that your skin can’t breathe properly. It has been shown to have trace amounts of 1,4 Dioxane, a known carcinogen.
Would you rub petroleum on your lips and even lick your lips knowing that is what is on there? This is one of the most common toxic ingredients in lip care products.
Saccharin
Saccharin, an artificial sweetener, is used in this case as a flavoring agent (it makes the lip balm taste sweet). Although it is no longer considered to be a human carcinogen (early studies in rats showed a link to urinary bladder cancer), I prefer to avoid all man-made chemically derived artificial sweeteners.
Ingredients for most common chapstick:
Arachidyl propionate, camphor, carnauba wax, cetyl alcohol, D&C red no. 6 barium lake, fragrance, isopropyl lanolate, isopropyl myristate, lanolin, light mineral oil, menthol, methylparaben, octyldodecanol, paraffin, phenyl trimethicone, propylparaben, saccharin, white wax.
NOW… GO LOOK AT YOUR CHAPSTICK: Ingredients to avoid:
– Parabens (of any kind)
– Petrolatum or Petroleum
– Chemical Fragrance or Flavor (commonly listed as Fragrance or Parfume)
– Chemical Dyes (commonly listed with a # next to them)
– Mineral Oil
Ingredients to avoid in an SPF lip balm: Octinoxate , Oxybenzone, Avobenzone
It’s time to toss that junk and get yourself one of Young Living’s AMAZING lip balms. Seriously feels amazing on your lips and contains the best of the best ingredients! Great stocking stuffers too!

I have had mine Zyto for almost a year now, and have scanned over 100 clients. I found that 90% stated that their results made sense to what was happening in their health at that moment in time. I have even had several ask me if I was a fortune-teller and that is the truth! The Zyto scan was right on target!
Several clients started using 1-3 of the suggested products in the protocols and with their next scan the results showed a decrease in the amount of biomarkers out of alignment in their past scans.
So why should you get a Zyto Scan? THE RESULTS… HAPPIER & HEALTHIER CLIENTS, REPEAT BUSINESS and another source of INCOME too!
Benefits of having your products in ZYTO software…..
ZYTO Select and Elite customers have access to all available products. Each practitioner has the ability to limit the available products to include only the specific inventory items they choose.
ZYTO Compass and ZYTO Balance customers are required to select a dedicated product company for each license. (listed below)
Consider the benefits of having your products included in ZYTO software:
- Product Selection – Your customers can use ZYTO technology to help determine which of your products are biologically preferred by their patients
- Product Education – ZYTO reports help your doctors consider biological preference of your entire product line, not just a handful of your products they are familiar with
- BUY ONE HERE
When practitioners that purchase your products include them as balancers in the ZYTO scans they run on their patients, good things happen. Many companies experience sales growth based on an increase in practitioner supplement sales. This increase is typically paired with an increase in the overall patient satisfaction for the supplements taken.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Scan only takes 4 minutes! This simple assessment uses your skin’s electricity to determine bio-markers and the body’s systems out of balance (not diagnostic, for educational purposes only). Using the Zyto Compass Scan with the use of your Nutritional Products can help you measure overall improvements weekly or monthly. It also can give you an indication of stressed systems in your body. Then it gives the report back to your computer for a read out. I usually sit down with my client and go over the results and recommendations. The license with the scan will also email the report to them. If they wish, we can repeat the scan in 4-6 weeks to determine if the supplements/recommendations are helping meeting their body’s needs.
I am here to help and help you determine how it can help you or if you are local how you can get your Scan done for FREE! Health providers usually charge anywhere from 25$ – 100$ to get the scan done and I can help determine your price you want to charge for your clients/customers.
Here are the companies that work with the Zyto and they usually update each month. (contact me for the link to see update) 
If you are ready to get started and setting up your own Zyto body compass scan for your family or business you can get your Zyto HERE.

Frankincense Essential Oil
Tradition tells us that the magi (3 wise men) gave the infant King of Israel gifts of gold to honor his royalty, frankincense as a perfume, and myrrh for anointing oil.
Although there probably some truth to this, other sources claim that the wise men from the Far East were actually being more practical by giving the baby Jesus these precious, costly Natural oils that could double up as potential medical remedies.
Frankincense Benefits
For over 5,000 years frankincense has been used to support the immune system, fight infection and defeat disease. Today the most common benefits of Frankincense may include:
- Reduces Inflammation
- Spiritual Awareness
- Boosts Immunity
- Fights Infections
- Improves Anxiety
- Heals skin and reduces acne and scarring
A press release by University of Leicester in the UK, has rekindled the theory that the “wise men” weren’t just bringing wealth to Jesus, but medicine.
According to the announcement that went after being issued, “University of Leicester researchers discover cancer-killing properties of frankincense in ovarian cancer.” Using the compound AKBA (acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid), the Omani government-funded research has for the first time shown frankincense’s ability to target cancer cells in late-stage ovarian cancer patients.
Lead researcher Kamla Al-Salmani explained: “After a year of studying the AKBA compound with ovarian cancer cell, we have been able to show it is effective in helping with these issues.
Frankincense is taken by many people with no known side effects. This finding has enormous potential to be taken to a clinical trial in the future and developed into an additional treatment for ovarian issues.”
Killing Power Of Frankincense
Used because of its anti-inflammatory properties, Frankincense also known as boswellia serrata has been a favorite as a folk medicine for several health concerns including asthma, gastroenteritis, and skin conditions.
New research, like the study that came out of the University of Leicester, has recently suggested that frankincense’s disease reversing power may be even more encompassing than previously suspected.
According to researchers out of Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, the frankincense killing effects are due in part to it regulating cellular epigenetic machinery, which highlights its ability to influence genes to promote healing and promote healthy cell growth.
Frankincense Oil Natural
People who have added Boswellia serrata into their natural health cancer care plan may find themselves experiencing double-benefits from this essential oil.
For many patients, there’s a time when the treatment becomes worse than the disease itself.
Take, for instance, brain cancer patients who experience cerebral edema (swelling in the head) after having their tumors irradiated. Typically, these people are treated with dexamethasone and other corticosteroids to control the swelling, but this is done at a great cost because the deadly complications of steroids are limitless.
Unfortunately, these people suffer toxic overload from the drugs that are supposed to help them in the first place and get headaches, migraines, and may even deal with blurred vision because of the steroid treatments.
Thankfully, frankincense offers a natural, viable solution to this horrible issue. Back in 2011, the journal Cancer published the results of a 44 person clinical trial evaluating how brain swelling was effected by frankincense.
Astoundingly, 60% of the patients displayed 75% reduction or greater in cerebral swelling after being treated with 4200 mg/day of frankincense! These results are so significant that scientists are urging the medical community to consider prescribing this potent essential oil instead of steroids for patients assigned to radiation treatment.
We hope this spreads like wildfire within treatment circles. Who knows what could happen if more people utilized this approach. As we’ve seen above, if Boswellia serrate can promote healthy cell growth instead of spreading or prevent tumors from growing, the sky’s the limit for folks who follow natural health guidelines.
Frankincense Benefits Immune Function
A growing body of research has recently unlocked the doors to our understanding of why frankincense is so beneficial to our health. In a study published by Phytotherapy Research, for instance, when mice took 1-10 mg of Boswellia serrata orally it was discovered that multiple levels of their immune systems were stimulated including:
- Delayed hypersensitivity reaction (early 24 hours, delayed 48 hours)
- IgG
- IgM
- Cytokines (interferon gamma, interleukin-4, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha)
- T-cell interactions (i.e. CD4/CD8, which are generally low in AIDS patients)
In layman’s terms, frankincense can boost the immune system like no other! Two fundamental ways this is accomplished is by proliferating lymphocytes (white blood cells, which are the body’s primary defense team) and by keeping inflammation at bay (which is arguably the primary risk factor for most chronic diseases).
This may also explain why frankincense may help with conditions like bronchial asthma, Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and ulcerative colitis.
Implement frankincense into your natural health regimen today. It can be used in diffusers with ease respiratory conditions or you can put it as an essential or salve directly on your skin or with a carrier oil.
And finally, you can also take frankincense (boswellia) as a supplement with a few essential oil drops placed under your tongue, on the roof of your mouth or in powdered capsule form for treatment of many health conditions.
Frankincense Is The Way to Go for Natural Help
Here is an online testimonial for Frankincense Oil:
“Just wanted to share more about Frankincense. My Dad tried it for his COPD and was very surprised with the effects. We were talking about what he called cancer on his face and top of ears and he was saying that he’d have to go have it cut off again. I just mentioned that he try some of his Frankincense. It’s been about a week and half, and last night he started telling me how he was telling his friend that he had these things on the side of his face and on top of his ears. THEN, he said “I started putting my oil on them and one is gone and the other I can barely feel”…………………. he is starting to trust and believe in the oils………..He is a very cautious man so I was a little surprised he even tried it. Sometimes we just have to be patient.”
I have seen several testimonials for frankincense oil. Whenever you talk about “essential oils,” the first manufacturer that should come to mind is “Young Living.” They create therapeutic-grade essential oils, not the perfume-grade oils normally found in retail and wholesale distribution.
The current protocol for treating skin issues is the following (using a 1/2 and 1/2 mixture of the two oils):
- Frankincense with Idaho Balsam Fir(3 days);
- Frankincense with Tsuga(3 days);
- Frankincense with Ledum(3 days);
- Frankincense with Lavender(3 days);
- Frankincense with clove, which may make the skin burn, so skip this step for cancer on the face (3 days);
- Frankincense with Sandalwood(3 days); 7) Repeat cycle as needed.
The exact number of times the oils should be put on the skin is up to the patient and their situation, but may range from 3 to 12 times a day.
