Essential Oils & Diabetes


What Is Diabetes?


Diabetes is a group of diseases knows as Type I immune-mediated and Type II insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus and Gestational diabetes mellitus, which can even occur during some pregnancies. 

Diabetes is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease and premature death in Westernized countries today. Diabetes causes low energy and persistently high blood glucose. 

This is a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use and store glucose (a form of sugar).  Glucose backs up in the bloodstream, causing blood sugar to right dangerously high. Some of the signs of diabetes include excessive thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, increased hunger, blurry vision, irritability, tingling or numbness in hands or feet, wounds that don't heal, extreme fatigue, and frequent skin, bladder, or gum infections. 

HEALTH FACT: A U.S. Department of Agriculture study revealed that Americans eat an average of 32 teaspoons of sugar each day in their foods.

Types Of Diabetes


Type I Diabetes

Type I usually manifests by age 30 and is often considered to be genetic. It is a condition where the immune system mistakenly destroys the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. This is called the autoimmune response. According to many scientists, doctors and researchers, there is no way to cure Type I diabetes, however some researchers at Cairo University feel different.

Type II Diabetes

Type II generally manifests later in life and is most likely linked to poor nutrition. Type II diabetes accounts for about 90-95% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. It usually begins with insulin resistance, a disorder in which the cells do not use insulin properly or there is not enough insulin to go around the body. The result is high levels of glucose in the blood. 

Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes is not unlike the other types, but researchers suggest that hormones are the contributing factor. The placenta produces large amounts of various hormones and some of them have been linked to blocking insulin. It is said that women who have had gestational diabetes have a 40-60% chance of developing diabetes in the next 5 to 10 years.


Essential Oils & Oil-Infused Nutritionals

Chromium has been shown to help the body metabolize sugars properly, while Wolfberry balances the pancreas and is a detoxifier and cleanser. Diabetes is not common in certain regions of China where Wolfberry is consumed regularly.

Stevia leaf extract is one of the most health-restoring plants known. It is a natural sweetener, has no calories, and does not have the harmful side effects of processed sugar or sugar substitutes. Substituting stevia for sugar helps rebuild glucose tolerance and normalize blood sugar fluctuations.

An East Indian herbal formula was shown in a Journal of the National Medical Association study to possess hypoglycemic activity. The herbs are: 

* Cinnamomum tamale
* Pterocarpus marsupium
* Momordica charantia
* Azadirachta indica
* Tinospora cordifolia
* Aegle marmelos
* Gymnema sylvestre
* Syzgium cumini
* Trigonella foenum-graecum
* Ficus racemosa



The Solution . . . . 

If you are willing to make healthy lifestyle choices such as adopting a plant-based diet, eating certified non-GMO foods, avoiding processed / chemical laden products, and adding in few key therapeutic-grade essential oils into your daily regimen, you can literally take your body to a whole new level of health and vitality! 


Your body was created to heal itself, so take control of your health today.  Put your faith in God, and YLEOs (the original medicine of the Bible), and watch miracles happen!

Essential Oil Safety Guide ~ YLEOs



Essential oils are potent gifts from nature that can often be more powerful than expected. In order to prevent misuse of these precious oils and ensure their maximum benefit, Young Living Founder and CEO, D. Gary Young, working with Director of Global Education and Health Sciences, Dr. Lindsey Elmore, and other product experts on her team, has created this helpful safety guide. Refer to it to learn the basics of essential oil use, how to handle skin sensitivity, and other valuable information.






Usage FAQs

1. I’m new to essential oils. How are they used? 

Each bottle of Young Living essential oil is labeled with directions for how that oil can be used, and these directions vary based on location. Please consult with the product label for appropriate use directions.

2. I see the term “carrier oil” used in several places. What is a carrier oil, what does it do, and why should I use it? 

A carrier oil is a vegetable oil such as coconut oil or grapeseed oil that can be used to dilute EO. YL V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex is an excellent carrier oil for all applications. Carrier oils ensure that EOs applied topically are comfortable. Dilution with a carrier oil does not dilute the effect of the EO, and prevents waste due to excessive application. Vegetable shortening, butter, margarine or petroleum derivatives (petrolatum jelly) should never be used as carrier oils. Some consumers choose to avoid olive oil as a carrier oil because of its strong aroma and thick viscosity.

3. What is a hot oil? 

“Hot oils” are oils that, when applied to the skin, can cause a hot or burning sensation. YL recommends using a patch test procedure prior to first use. To perform a patch test, apply 1-2 drops of EO to a patch of skin such as the forearm. Observe that area of skin over the course of 1-2 hours for any noticeable reaction; usually reactions occur within 5-10 minutes. If you experience a hot or burning sensation or if you develop a rash, add V-6 carrier oil to the affected area as often as needed. Examples of “hot” oils include cinnamon, clove, lemongrass, peppermint, oregano, thyme, Exodus II, and Thieves.

4. What if I experience skin discomfort or irritation? 

If discomfort or irritation occurs, stop using the EO, and apply V-6 or other carrier oil to the affected area. Never use water in an attempt to flush the oil off the skin, as this may increase discomfort. If a rash occurs this may be a sign of detoxification; drink adequate water to encourage the release and removal of body toxins. Toxins present in petrochemical based soaps and skin care products, detergents and perfumes may trigger some of the detoxification reactions. Consider discontinuation of these agents if a reaction occurs. Before using the EO again, perform a patch test (see above) and dilute with carrier oil as needed. Water drives oil into the skin and the eyes. If EO gets in your eye, flush with V-6 carrier oil to alleviate any discomfort. Discomfort should be alleviated within minutes. If eye discomfort does not subside within 5 minutes, please seek medical attention. Be aware that some documents suggest diluting the oil with water. YL suggests that you dilute with carrier oil to ensure that discomfort is alleviated as quickly as possible.

5. Can essential oils be applied to sensitive areas? 

YL recommends that you avoid contact with EOs and sensitive areas such as eyes, ears, genitals and mucous membranes. If you choose to use the oil in any sensitive area, dilute 1 drop of the essential oil to 5-10 drops of V-6 carrier oil.

6. How often can essential oils be applied? How much do I use? 

Proper usage is indicated on each EO label. Please follow label instructions. The idea of “if a little is good, a lot is better” is not always correct. Essential oils are very potent and powerful ~ start low and go slow. In most cases 1-2 drops are adequate and using more may waste product. Depending on the EO you can gradually build up to 3-4 uses per day if desired. Excessive use of essential oils may increase the risk for adverse reactions.

7. Can essential oils be used during pregnancy or while nursing? 

As with any medical condition it is strongly recommended that, prior to use of essential oils, you seek the advice and recommendation of a competent, trained health care advisor who is experienced in EO usage. It is generally recommended to avoid overuse and excessive use of Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea), Sage (Salvia officinalis), Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare), Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis), Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), and Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) as well as the blends and supplements that contain these oils.

8. Can essential oils be used on children? 

Many EOs are appropriate for use with children, and they should be diluted prior to use. Some YL products are pre-diluted with carrier oil as indicated on product label and are intended for direct application on children. Children generally respond well to EO, and use of a carrier oil is recommended. One-2 drops of EO such as SleepyIze, RutaVala, Gentle Baby and Peace & Calming may be diluted in carrier oil and applied to the bottom of the feet.

9. How does exposure to sun affect essential oil use? 

Some EOs, especially citrus oils, contain natural molecules that react with sunlight (UV light) and cause a sensitivity reaction. All YL EOs and oil blends that contain these compounds are labeled with a warning to avoid sun/UV light for 12 to 48 hours after applying. Caution should always be used when starting to use a new oil: use patch testing (see above), dilute and apply the oil to skin that is protected from sun/UV exposure to reduce the risk of sensitivity. YL beauty and cosmetic products are formulated to remove sun-sensitizing agents to reduce the risk of sun sensitivity.

10. What about the use of essential oils if I have a medical condition? Can essential oils interact with prescription medications? 

If you have a disease or medical condition, or if you are using a prescription medication, it is recommended that you consult with a health advisor who has experience with EOs prior to using an EO. Seek the advice of the prescribing physician and a pharmacist about potential interactions between the medication(s) and the essential oil(s).

How to Enhance Worship and Meditation with Essential Oils



Energy Centers (Chakras) and Associated Glands







When you want to be "centered" and quiet a busy mind during meditation so you can focus on worshipful prayer, Frankincense brings peace and a sense of calming to your heart. You need not burn the precious resin to achieve this calmness. Simply breath in deeply the aroma of Frankincense or Sacred Frankincense.

You may wish to (anoint) apply a few drops of these precious oils on your Crown Chakra and over your heart. Imagine being away from the busyness of life and perhaps resting on a solitary hill in Oman that overlooks the blue waters of the Arabian Ocean, looking in the other direction and feeling the quietness of the immense desert with mystifying sand dunes that seem to shimmer in the sun, or taking refuge under a large Frankincense tree that offers a little shade and a place of rest.

Prayer and meditation are ways of preparing for many energy workers and healers before they begin their day.

The negative energy that also inhabits this world can have no influence while you become quiet and communicate with God. Simply apply a few drops of White Angelica on your shoulders to wrap yourself in its energetic protection. A drop of Rose oil over your heart or on the Crown Chakra can also help you rise up to a meditative state above the worries of the world. 

It is a scientific fact that meditating is healthful and prayer is calming to the soul. You may find singing a quiet hymn a joyful experience. Poet Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676) wrote, "Hymns of praise are incense and rams."

Mix ¼ cup vinegar with ¾ cup water in a clean bottle. Add a couple drops of Rosemary or Thyme essential oil and shake/stir to combine. Use it as a rinse in the shower after shampooing and before conditioning. Repeat no more than once a week for fresh, clean hair. 

I stay away from the harsh chemicals in commercial shampoo, so I "wash" my hair with a baking soda / distilled water mixture and rinse with my vinegar / distilled water / essential oil mixture.  My hair feels great, has more body, and the dry, brittle breakage has disappeared!

There are several ways to use YLEOs, therefore we ask that you follow individual guidelines provided for each oil.  All essential oils can be diffused, as well as applied topically. Some of the "hot" oils may need to be diluted for additional comfort on the skin. All single oils and many of the blends can be used internally as dietary supplements!



Peppermint ~ An essential oil with many uses . . . . add to herbal tea for digestive or heartburn relief. Stop hiccups by placing a drop or two of Peppermint in your palms, rub them together, then inhale deeply a few times. Relieve your headache by rubbing a drop of Peppermint on your temples, forehead and on the back of your neck. A drop of Peppermint on your tongue or under your nose will improve alertness and concentration!  It also makes a great breath freshener!!  

Thieves ~ An amazing antibacterial blend, Thieves can be used for so may things . . . ward off cold & flu germs by diffusing or by rubbing a drop on the bottom of your feet. Help to relieve gingivitis or gum issues by rubbing a drop of Thieves over your gums 2x per day. Add 2-6 drops of Thieves to a small spray bottle with distilled water to eliminate household germs from countertops, bathtubs, toilets, sinks, and door knobs. Diffuse Thieves to kill mold wherever it is present. Add a drop of Thieves to your morning coffee or NingXia Red to boost your immune system.

Lemon ~ This versatile oil is one of the happy citrus oils! Use Lemon to freshen the air by diffusing, or fill a spray bottle with distilled water, add 6 drops of Lemon and use as an air freshener.  Add 1-2 drops of Lemon to your drinking water to detox your liver and help balance your body's pH. Rub a few drops of Lemon to remove residue from chewing gum, oil, grease spots, or crayons. Soak dishcloths overnight in a bowl of water and a drop of Lemon to disinfect and kill germs. Diffuse Lemon, or drink in water to wake up neurons and increase brain function during studying and testing!

Lavender ~ This is one of the most amazing essential oils . . . . pretty much the "Swiss Army Knife" of essential oils.  When in doubt, use Lavender!  I use it for relaxation by rubbing a drop or two on my wrists, or on the back of my neck.  Add Lavender to the diffuser and as a linen spray at night to help you sleep. Use a few drops on reusable dryer sheets for the laundry.  Dab Lavender on temples and the tip of nose for allergies.  And, rub a drop of Lavender on cuts to help stop the bleeding and cleanse the wound.

Peace & Calming ~ Rub 1-2 drops of Peace & Calming on bottom of feet, as well as shoulders before bedtime to help you get quality sleep.  Diffuse Peace & Calming in the room to calm active or hard to manage children. Mix Peace & Calming with massage oil for a relaxing massage.  Add Peace & Calming to Epsom Salts, then add to your bath water for a relaxing bath.

Young Living Introduces New Farm in British Columbia, Canada



Exciting News! Young Living Keeps "Growing!"  This new location will provide an ongoing supply of Black Spruce, Ledum, and Yarrow ~ essential oils crucial in some of our most popular blends.


New Northern Light Farm in BC, Canada


In order to keep up with growing demand for our superior products, Young Living has recently purchased the Young Living Northern Lights farm. Here’s what this beautiful new farm has to offer:

  • Ongoing Supply ~ The Young Living Northern Lights farm will provide an ongoing supply of Black Spruce, Ledum, and Yarrow ~ essential oils crucial in some of our most popular blends. Production of additional oils will be determined in the future.
  • Commitment to Sustainability  ~ We are committed to preserving the farm’s natural state as much as possible, using responsible farming methods that include sustainable harvesting and meticulous reforestation.
  • Optimal Distillation ~ Because the Young Living Northern Lights farm, like our Highland Flats farm, will have a cutting-edge distillery on site, we will be able to distill botanicals at the most optimal time, ensuring the production of essential oils with the highest levels of active constituents.

Growing, harvesting, and distilling our own botanicals is a painstaking approach unique to Young Living. We are proud to add the new Young Living Northern Lights Farm to our family of farms throughout the world to help ensure our continued supply of superior, pure essential oils extracted from superior botanicals!
