How a Diffuser Works

Amy Chomas, guest poster, says:

Every wonder how the diffuser works, in easy to follow and understand terms? Well I'm here to tell you.
A diffuser operates using Bernoulli’s Principle. Diffusers tend to be large at the bottom and small at the top. The large space at the bottom is where the ultrasonic plate vibrates, shaking up the oil particles and mixing them with the mist that’s produced.
The mist floats to the top of the diffuser, which gets more narrow at the top, ending in a small opening.
With the narrowed space at the top, the vapor pressure increases, and the speed at which it moves decreases. It’s like the rush of a crowd through the Target doors on Black Friday. They reach the doors and everyone gets squeezed together.
Once the vapor passes through the hole in the diffuser, pressure decreases and the speed it moves increases. The vapor literally explodes up and out of the diffuser, filling your room with the humidified air and essential oils. Again, you can think of the chaos inside Target as shoppers actually make it through the doors.

Thank you, Amy!  Now that you know how it works, maybe you might like to consider borrowing Ann's diffuser to see how you like it!  Choose one of the options below and let her know.  Please note that this is available only to those who live within the Metro Portland, Oregon area as the diffuser will not be mailed.   Our next post will be about different types of diffusers available from Young Living.

Holiday Shopping mistakes.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and so is the time for Christmas shopping.  Shhhhh!  I know, I said the C word BEFORE Thanksgiving.  But, I want to touch on something that will more than likely bombard you this year!  Essential oils!  No.......I'm not trying to tell you that's all you should get as gifts!  I will tell you, however, that there will be many companies pushing their idea of what an essential oil is.

A popular company not normally in the oil game recently came out with an Essential oil kit for the holiday season.  They say the oils are unadulterated (no carrier oils added) BUT it is what they are NOT telling you that should set off warning bells.  One blend is mostly citrus oils.  What they aren't saying is that you should stay out of the sun for at least 12 hours because citrus oils are photo-sensitive.  In very small print, they say their oils are for external use only. THAT is another warning bell.  A pure therapeutic oil can often be for more than external use.

So, why am I telling you all of this?  Because I want you to be SAFE. Companies selling essential oils should be open in how they manufacturer their oils.  Does the company get distilled oils from China where there aren't stringent testings on product? Do they distill with chemicals or spray the plant with chemicals?  They can do these things and still be labeled as 100% pure essential oil.  Are they labeled Therapeutic?  Your oils should be!  Also essential oils, when stored correctly, don't have an expiration date!  My recommendation is to research and get your oils only from companies who are open about their processes and encourage outside testing.

I KNOW where mine come from and how they are planted, grown, distilled, tested and bottled.  It is a process called Seed to Seal and NO other company can claim this!    Watch here to learn more.

Don't be mislead into buying the fake Coach purse....what you have in the end is only an imitation. In the case of essential oils, it could be harmful!

HALLOWEEN BREW!

Halloween is just around the corner and here is a wonderful brew for your parties!  Break out those Essential Oils and make it fast while the fresh cider is in the stores.

What?  You don't have any essential oils?  Well, it won't be in time for Halloween but we can certainly fix you up!  Just contact us and we'll take care of you!

Recipe:

2 quarts fresh apple cider
1 orange, unpeeled and cut into slices
3 drops Lemon essential oil
1 drop Cinnamon Bark essential oil
1 drop Clove essential oil
1 drop Nutmeg essential oil
Cinnamon sticks, for serving

Combine apple cider, orange slices, and essential oils in a large pot and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes or more.
Discard orange slices.
Serve warm. Add 1–2 cinnamon sticks to individual cups when serving.

VALOR IS IN THE HOUSE!

Valor oh Valor, how I love thee!  You know the saying......Absence makes the heart grow fonder? Well, nothing has been more true than with Young Living's Essential Oil called Valor.  Even though they tried to cover the bases with another oil called Valor II, there just isn't anything that can match the original Valor!  

IT. IS. NOW. BACK. IN. STOCK!!!!!!   

Get it quick before it runs out again!  (Note:  Valor is made with Blue Tansy which is a seasonal crop and in limited supply)

So.....why would you want Valor? 

Let me count the ways (keeping with the heart theme)

• Use on the bottom of your feet and spine to promote a healthy spine.
• Apply to your jaw.  This is one area I like because I have a tendency to clench my teeth at night.
• Rub 2- 4 drops on your feet, neck and chest to promote feelings of calm.
• Apply on the bottom of each big toe to promote sound and quiet sleep.
• Rub a few drops with coconut oil on the back of your neck to promote comfort.
• Diffuse or inhale to promote emotional strength.
• Massage 1 - 2 drops on your temples or neck to promote a happy energy and increase inner strength when it's time to have serious talks...like with your boss, friend or teen!
• Diffuse or apply to help with focus skills!

Oily Infused Dryer Balls

At our last Make & Take class we had them infuse dryer balls.  It was so easy and easy for you to do too!  You can make your own dryer balls too!  There is no reason for me to reinvent the wheel so here is the website that we used to make our dryer balls!

CLICK HERE FOR INSTRUCTIONS

NOW.......for the fun part!  Infuse your dryer balls with essential oils.  In our class we used syringes to infuse the ball.

So, what oils might you use to scent your clothing?

Purification is a Young Living blend that is really wonderful for eliminating odd odors.
Lavender, a Young Living Single oil is perfect for drying sheets with its relaxing scent.
Citrus Fresh is a Young Living blend that can give your clothes a uplifting scent.

These are just three options.....the possibilities are really endless!

Optional:  Make your dryer balls using old wool sweaters...your own...or some from the thrift store or a garage sale.  Cut up the sweater to smaller pieces and then wrap the wool yarn around them.  It will decrease the yardage needed to make the ball and recycle the sweater as well!
