4. ▪ Essential oils are chemically complex. A
single oil may have 80-300 different
constituents.
▪ Constituents can be affected by the
part of the plant used, soil condition,
fertilizer (organic or chemical),
geographical region, climate, altitude,
harvest season & methods, and
distillation process.
▪ Essential Oils can be distilled or
extracted in different ways which will
have a dramatic effect on their
chemistry & medicinal action.
9. ▪ Lemon is also known for its ability to
clean toxins from the any part of the
body. That includes the hair and scalp,
digestive system and the kidneys, and
much more!
▪ What Part of the Plant is Used? Cold-
pressed from lemon rinds
▪ What is the ORAC Value? 660 µTE/100g
▪ Why know about this number? ORAC
stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance
Capacity. It tells you the antioxidant
capacity of a food item. Antioxidants
have shown to reduce the risk of age
related conditions and cancer! This was
developed by the USDA researchers.

▪ The citrus oils literally digest the
petrochemicals right where they are.
▪ The lemon oil literally digested the Styrofoam
into nothingness. The Styrofoam doesn’t exist
anymore and so it left a hole in the cup.
▪ Limonene found in citrus oils is known to
reverse tumors. Where did the tumor go? The
limonene literally digested the tumor into
nothingness. It shrunk and shrunk until it
didn’t exist anymore. It didn’t break off and
travel to the bloodstream. It didn’t make its
way to the colon to be eliminated. It just
doesn’t exist anymore!
▪ Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted
materials because lemons increase the rate of
urination in the body. Toxins are, therefore,
released at a faster rate which helps keep
your urinary tract healthy.
11. HYDRATION IS KEY
▪ When your body is dehydrated, or deeply
dehydrated (adrenal fatigue) it can’t
perform all of it’s proper functions, which
leads to toxic buildup, stress, constipation,
and the list goes on.
▪ Your adrenals are the two small glands that
sit on top of your kidneys which, along with
your thyroid, create energy.
▪ They also secrete important hormones,
including aldosterone. Aldosterone is a
hormone secreted by your adrenals that
regulates water levels and the
concentration of minerals, like sodium, in
your body, helping you stay hydrated.
▪ Your adrenals are also responsible for
regulating your stress response.
▪ So, the bottom line is that you really want to
maintain a balanced and proper state of
dehydration.
12. HOW TO USE
▪ Dietary: Dilute 1 drop with 1 drop of V-
6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other
vegetable oil (e.g., virgin coconut,
olive, or almond). Put in a capsule and
take up to 3 times daily or as needed.
▪ Topical: Dilute 1 drop with 1 drop of
V-6 or other vegetable oil and apply 2–
4 drops to desired area, chakras, and
Vita Flex points.
▪ Aromatic: Diffuse up to 30 minutes 3
times daily.
Avoid direct sunlight/UV rays for up to 12
hours after applying lemon.
13. ▪ Peppermint is harvested when the field's overall
appearance goes from light to dark green. The growers
make sure the plant has just started to bloom before the
peppermint is cut, and then water is carefully measured
prior to distillation to ensure the most potent constituents
are steam-extracted.
▪ Some companies may try to substitute a species within the
family and try to sell it for therapeutic use! So make sure
you know your source and you are purchasing the right
genus species!
▪ What is the ORAC Value? 37,300 µTE/100g
▪ Why know about this number? ORAC stands for Oxygen
Radical Absorbance Capacity. It tells you the antioxidant
capacity of a food item. Antioxidants have shown to reduce
the risk of age related conditions and cancer! This was
developed by the USDA researchers.
14. PEPPERMINT’S LINK TO WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
▪ Alan Hirsch, M.D., studied peppermint's ability to
directly affect the brain's satiety center (the
ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus) which
triggers a sensation of fullness after meals.
▪ He used fragrances, including peppermint, to trigger
significant weight losses in a large group of patients
who had previously been unsuccessful in any type of
weight-management program. During the course of
the six-month study involving over 3,000 people, the
average weight loss exceeded 30 pounds.
▪ Jean Valnet, M.D., studied Peppermint's effect on
the liver and respiratory systems. Other scientists
have also researched Peppermint's role in improving
taste and smell when inhaled.
▪ Bryan Raudenbush. Assoc. Professor of Psychology
at Weeling Jesuit University. Duplicated Dr. Hirsch’s
study, during the week studied 40 people sniffed
peppermint every 2 hours; they consumed an
average of 1,800 fewer calories.
15. PEPPERMINT & EXERCISE
▪ Exercise – increased athletic performance in running ability,
strength & fitness
▪ Runners finished the 400-meter dash faster
using peppermint oil inhalation.
▪ Exercisers completed more pushups (performed until
exhaustion) after peppermint oil inhalation.
▪ Dr. Bryan Raudenbush and his research group of Wheeling
Jesuit University in West Virginia found that peppermint oil
and vapor can enhance overall athletic performance
▪ Their study evaluated hunger levels
during peppermint inhalation vs. non-inhalation, in addition
to actual food consumption and dietary evaluation (e.g., fat
intake, caloric intake, vitamin and mineral intake, etc.) over a
period of two weeks.
▪ Results indicate participants who were exposed
to peppermint consumed nearly 3000 fewer total calories
from saturated fat, total fat, and sugar each week. That's
about 23% less calories based on 1800 calories/day diet for 7
days. Participants also rated their hunger level significantly
lower during peppermint inhalation.

16. HOW TO USE
▪ Apply several drops (2-4) on location,
abdomen and temples
▪ Apply to chakras/vitaflex points
▪ Directly inhale
▪ Diffuse, or
▪ May be used as a dietary supplement.
Simply add to your water (hot or cold).
Watch your eyes or cuts when using
peppermint oil!
Place a pure vegetable oil on location if
irritation or stinging occurs.
Do not use water! It will worsen the
symptoms!
17. It is famous for its ability to clean toxins from the any part of
the body; detox the lymphatic system, eliminate excess
fluids, burn fat and protect against cancer!
The oil comes from cold pressing the rind of the fruit.
What is the ORAC Value? 22,600 µTE/100g
Why know about this number? ORAC stands for Oxygen
Radical Absorbance Capacity. It tells you the antioxidant
capacity of a food item. Antioxidants have shown to reduce
the risk of age related conditions and cancer! This was
developed by the USDA researchers. For instance: Oranges =
750; Clove = 1,078,700. Wow! The number for clove is NOT a
typo!
18. GRAPEFRUIT’S LINK TO WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
▪ Works primarily in the lymphatic system
which also is part of the cardiovascular
systems of our body. More than two-thirds of
the body's immune system is located in the
intestines. And since it takes care of both
physical and mental toxins, it acts as our
physical and mental healing system.
▪ Obesity, including lumpy cellulite, is one of
the many conditions that results from a
congested lymphatic system, which forms a
large part of the body's natural
immunological defenses. Other diseases
include multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia,
chronic fatigue syndrome and cancer, the
ultimate defense against toxins.
▪ Obesity and cancer are both linked to severe
lymph congestion, and over the years, more
and more studies have been cropping up
strengthening the correlation between the
two diseases.
19. ▪ University of Geneva, found a connection
between obesity and tumors in the breast.
The sample consisted of women diagnosed
with invasive breast cancer in Geneva
between 2003 and 2005. The scientists found
that the women who were obese were more
likely to suffer from Stage III and Stage IV
tumors with an odds ratio of 1.8. In other
words, they were 180 percent more likely to
develop serious breast cancer than the
women who were not overweight.
▪ Also, the obese women in the sample were
510 percent more likely to have cancerous
lymph nodes, suggesting that the cancer may
have spread to other parts of their bodies.
▪ Other researchers suspect that the
hormone leptin could be a 'missing
link' between obesity and cancer.
Leptin, produced in fat cells in
adipose tissue, is also known as
the satiety hormone, which tells an
individual when to stop eating. But
this is not all that leptin does. This
hormone is also involved in many
other biological processes in the
breast, from reproduction and
lactation to cell differentiation and
cell proliferation. When leptin or
its receptors malfunction, they are
likely to promote the development
of breast tumors, some scientists
say.
20. HOW TO USE
Dietary: Put 2 drops in a capsule.
Take 3 times daily or as needed.
Topical: Dilute 1 drop with 1 drop
of V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex or
other vegetable oil (e.g. virgin
coconut, olive, or almond) and
apply to desired area as needed.
Aromatic: Diffuse up to 1 hour 3
times daily.

30. I have lost several inches off my belly
just by drinking water with lemon oil
and giving up all over beverages. These
changes happened in less than two
months. What I did was add 10 drops of
lemon oil to a quart sized mason jar and
I drank 3-4 of these jars daily. I used to
drink a lot of sweetened tea and a lot of
diet sodas. I gave those up and only
drank the water with lemon oil.

31. “I drink 60ml of NingXia Red each
morning, mixed 50/50 with water to
make it even more alkalizing to the
body. Into that juice, I add my “Oh my
gosh!!!” mix of oils, which is 2 drops
each of: Tangerine, Lemon,
Peppermint and Ocotea. I’ve had
many people report to me that
NingXia Red has reduced their sugar
cravings, and they’ve noticed some
gentle weight loss with it (perhaps
due to consuming less sweets). It also
contains many wonderful vitamins
and minerals, so it’s a great all-over
tonic to the body.”
Artemis
“On the second day of
applying the Citrus Fresh and
Ledum oil and taking the
capsules with Grapefruit oil, I
noticed a tightening around
my “baby tummy” (this
arrived after four children)
and a general smoothness
over my hips. My children
and husband noticed a
difference and I have a
feeling of general well being.”
Francesca
32. “I sniff Peppermint oil before meals.
It’s been studied for its effects as an
appetite suppressant – one study
took people who couldn’t lose
weight through any other means.
They were given peppermint oil to
sniff before meals. What’s amazing
is that it worked so well that some
people had to be taken off the study
because they were losing too much
weight!!!”

“I have shed 16kg (35 pounds) and
am moving towards my ideal weight. I
drink filtered water and always add
some Young Living Oils. Prior to
adding oils, I hardly drank any water,
but now I can easily drink at least one
liter per day. My favorites are
peppermint (1 drop) plus Citrus Fresh
(2 drops) or lemon and grapefruit or
Slique Essence.”

33. “My dearest friend, Debbie Rogers, suffered with
diabetes. Although she could control it mainly
with diet and exercise she also, at times, would
have to take some form of medication to lower
her sugar levels. After beginning to use the
essential oils and adding NingXia Red to her daily
diet, she soon discovered that she no longer
suffers from any symptoms of diabetes. She has
also began to loose the excess weight and has
experienced an increase in energy and an over all
sense of well being. Debbie's favorite Young Living
products are: NingXia Red, Frankincense, lavender
and peppermint. She also uses Thieves, Peace &
Calming, Valor and Purification.”

Editor's Notes
32 million more Americans will become obese by 2030, increasing obesity rates to 42 percent of the U.S. population, according to a May 2012 report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Did you know that you need 3,000 lemons to make 1 kilo or oil?
Did you know that a Japanese study found that when they diffused lemon it reduced errors by 54 percent! By the way, in that same study, Jasmine and Lavender reduced errors by 33 and 20 percent respectively. How’s that for mental clarity and accuracy!
Plant Properties: Antitumoral, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, astringent, anti-inflammatory, immune stimulant, diuretic, digestive, expectorant, calming.
Documented uses and benefits include: Hair, acne, seborroea, skin conditions, infectious disease, impaired memory, gout, liver and kidney (cleansing), urinary tract infections, parasites, varicose veins, anxiety, insomnia.
The lymphatic system includes the lymph ducts, lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, and thymus. The lymphatic system is an open system as it filters blood from the circulatory system, about 20 liters daily. Most is reabsorbed while 3 liters are left behind to return to the blood. The lymphatic system drains into the thorax, abdomen, and pelvic cavities. It can also drain into the two subclavian veins under the internal jugular veins.
The lymphatic system functions include:
1. Responsible for the removal of interstitial fluid from tissues
2. It absorbs & transports fatty acids and fats from the digestive systems
3. Transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes to the bones
4. The lymph transports antigen-presenting cells the lymph nodes where the immune response is stimulated.
