1 Young Living Oils Testimonials Summary Menopause Testimonials To date, allopathic medicine has pathologised symptoms of menopause. The only solutions offered by mainstream medicine include painkillers and hormonal treatments. Extensive scientific research has proven that a number of essential oils are balancing to the hormones. Additionally, they are supportive to our emotional states. Experts on women s health who recommend natural options for working with hormonal imbalances and menstrual symptoms, often use therapeutic-grade essential oils to support the endocrine system. The high frequency of various essential oils (ranging from MHz) raises our overall body frequency (which should be Hz in its healthy range) every time we use them. Dr Dan Purser, in his book Real Solutions for the Top 7 Female Health Concerns recommends essential oils to support your health naturally. They are our best ammunition against the chemicals that block receptor sites and interfere with our endocrine system. They are also anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, antiseptic, antiviral and anti-inflammatory. Here are some of the Young Living essential oils and essential oil-based products that are listed in the following testimonials and in other resources relating to women s health: SINGLE OILS marjoram peppermint lavender clary sage grapefruit frankincense geranium vetiver helichrysum myrrh BLENDS Dragon Time EndoFlex Mister Valor SclarEssence Gentle Baby Harmony ImmuPower PanAway StressAway Roll-On MASSAGE OIL Dragon Time Massage Oil NUTRIENTS Ningxia Red Femigen Thyromin Progessence + Serum Prenelone Cream ImmuPro (for sleeping) PD80/20 (every 2nd day) Lavender for menopause cramps Just one drop of lavender on the tummy, and my menopause cramps were gone by the time I left the bathroom.

2 Young Living Oils Testimonials Summary Endoflex and increased energy I apply Endoflex on my thyroid gland, thymus, ovaries and adrenals almost every day and especially if I feel low on energy. I feel an immediate increase in my energy and a feeling of well being. My hormones seem to be well in balance too and I'm 70 years of age. If I go very long without applying this oil, I can tell a real difference in my energy and feeling of well being in general. Jacquelyn Kington, USA Peppermint for hot flashes I had a client come into the salon where I'm a hair stylist and tell me she was 'burning up' with hot flashes. She had been taking a Rx steroid for a temporary health issue and she didn't even want me to put the cape around her until I absolutely had to! I asked her permission to apply some peppermint to her neck and shoulders (she was wearing a sleeveless blouse). She agreed, stating she was willing to try anything! Within 30 seconds, she started feeling relief and by about 3 minutes later, she was completely comfortable. She was so amazed, saying this was the 'coolest' and best she had felt in 3 weeks. I was even able to sit her under the dryer for 15 minutes to process her haircolor and she still remained comfortable. Kimberly Kluesner, USA Hot flash relief Using the Physicians Desk Reference I was able to discover that Clary Sage and Geranium are two oils helpful for hormone regulation. I use a blend of 4 parts Clary Sage, 2 parts Geranium and 2 parts carrier oil for relief of hot flashes. While they are not completely eliminated I don't suffer from night sweats at all and the few hot flashes I get are very manageable. I apply the blend to the area around the ankles. I've given this blend to several other women who have also had relief. One co-worker wasn't sleeping because of the night sweats and found immediate relief. Dawn Goeb, USA EndoFlex and Ningxia Red for hot flashes I have found EndoFlex to be beneficial to my symptoms of hot flashes, brought on by menopause. I put a dab on each of my index fingers and then rub it into the bottom of my feet, or sometimes into my wrist. However, at the same time I started using Endo-Flex I started drinking Ningxia Red every morning, (about 1-2 oz.) so I attribute my controlling of hot flashes to both products. When I forget to put on Endo-Flex I do find that I'm more prone to having a hot flash, and the same goes when I forget (another menopause symptom) to consume my daily Ningxia Red juice.

3 Young Living Oils Testimonials Summary Dealing with menopause & hot flashes After several years of trying soy & herbal products as well as briefly trying some hormone therapy which made many symptoms worse, I discovered Young Living oils. I'm using SclarEssence internally by putting 8 drops in a gelatin cap with a little carrier oil and gradually over about a month the hot flashes have all but disappeared. I also take Thyromin once a day for further glandular support and EndoFlex applied topically (I use it neat) over my adrenals (kidney area) and thyroid. I sleep better, wake more refreshed & have fewer mood swings. I can't say enough about how much essential oils have helped me in countless ways. If possible find someone who can do some muscle testing to help you discover what may work best for your unique needs. Jan Hart, USA The hot flashes after a hysterectomy I was put on hormone pills after a complete hysterectomy years ago. When I stopped taking them I went on a search for something natural. What has worked for me is Mister oil, a blend made by Young Living Essential Oils. I put it on my wrist and the inside of the elbows every morning and no more hot flashes! Jackie King, USA Relief from hot flashes I began ingesting SclarEssence essential oil blend (per the directions in the Essential Oils Desk Reference) on October 19. My purpose was to alleviate menopause symptoms - hot flashes, restlessness, insomnia, etc. I ingested ten drops in a capsule once that day. I had NO hot flashes for the next 24 hours I was accustomed to 7-10 severe hot flashes per day, including through the night that would wake me several times and then I would have trouble falling back to sleep. The next day, Oct. 20th, I ingested 8 drops in a capsule once during the day. I experienced the bare beginnings of a hot flash but it never transpired. Oct. 21, I went back to the 10 drops in a capsule to ingest. No hot flashes or any other symptoms. I also experienced immediate improvement in my quality of sleep. Gentle Baby, Valor, and other oils helped, but hot flashes in the night wake you no matter what! I had forgotten how wonderful it feels to wake up refreshed and rested. I remember now, it s wonderful! Rebecca Reynolds, USA Page 3

4 Hot flash relief from peppermint Young Living Oils Testimonials Summary I experience minor to moderate hot flashes due to the approach of menopause. If I apply peppermint oil neat to the back of my neck and forehead this makes me feel much cooler. Jude Ker, USA Peppermint cools my hot flashes I am postmenopausal due to a hysterectomy. Health problems prohibit me from using any kind of hormone replacement therapy or herbal support for hormone function. So, I'm always on the lookout for new ideas to try for the various symptoms that crop up. I have found that a few drops of peppermint essential oil added to a glass of ice water cools off my occasional hot flashes in no time flat. Irene Wiener, USA Peppermint for hot flashes! I recently reconnected with an old friend who I hadn't seen in over 30 years. After chatting for a while she commented that she is having a tough time with hot flashes and her HRT is not helpful. I suggested putting some peppermint oil on the back of her neck and on her chest area where she was feeling the most warmth. She commented within 20 minutes that her hot flashes were gone! She ed me the next day telling me that she is able to sleep through the night for the first time in a long time due to the use of the peppermint oil before bedtime. These oils are amazing! Lana Beers, USA Insomnia solved Since going through menopause, I've had constant insomnia, continuously waking around 3:00 a.m. and not going back to sleep. I could rarely get to sleep without medication of some sort. I did finally go on HRT to deal with the hot flashes and insomnia, but I continued to have problems with insomnia. Since using the combination below, I almost always fall asleep easily and stay asleep until around 6:00 a.m. I put Vetiver and Harmony on the bottom of both feet and toes -- 3 drops each, mixed with a bit of V6 oil. I put a drop of Peace & Calming across my shoulders. Any oils remaining on my hands, I rub on my wrists and around my head and neck. When I lie down, I breathe in the oils from my hands for a couple breaths. Then, it's off to dreamland I go. Stretching a bit before bed also helps with getting to sleep. Vetiver is very thick, so I mix it 1/2 & 1/2 with V6 oil and keep the mix in a separate bottle. Mixed this way, it is still thicker than most oils, so I add a bit more V6 to the drops that I put on my feet to help spread it in. Page 4

5 Jackie Bettinger, USA Young Living Oils Testimonials Summary Fibrocystic breast disease and hormone balancing I had several very large, painful cysts in my breasts and told there was nothing I could do about them except keep an eye on them with yearly mammograms! Several years ago, after hearing Gary Young talk about hormone balancing in Shipshawana, IN, I started a monthly regimen of hormone balancing. I use YL hormone cream every day for 3 weeks, then off 1 week. I also take a capsule of SclarEssence essential oil every day following the same schedule...3 weeks on, 1 week off. Much to my surprise, the lumps in my breast are totally gone! I wasn't even trying to rid myself of these! In addition, I was not menopausal at the time I started this hormone balancing, but have since sailed right through menopause without one single side effect! I love bragging to other women my age that I have NEVER had a hot flash and I have no idea what they are experiencing! YL Essential Oils are powerful healing agents and Gary Young is the best! Dolores Lane, USA Clary Sage for hot flashes, menopause, insomnia There is good news for all those annoying menopause symptoms. The symptoms of menopause have many contributing factors so I keep the following oils close at hand when symptoms appear Clary Sage; Geranium; Peppermint; Valor; Trauma Life; and Ningxia Red. For hot flashes, night sweats and insomnia, I use Clary sage for its hormone balancing ability. I dilute my clary, 15 drops of Clary Sage to 4ml of carrier oil. I keep this in a roll-on bottle by my bedside. Just one roll down the bottom of each foot and then a quick massage to work it in and I sleep through the night with no night sweats and no 2 am wake up. Clary Sage is a very effective oil and not much is needed to achieve the desired effect. Please note that Clary also enhances the sedative effects of alcohol and drugs so use extra sparingly if you must use these types of drugs. Yes, alcohol is a drug! Geranium is another great hormone balancing oil that is best for daytime use because many find it to be stimulating. It too can be diluted in a quality carrier oil. Apply it to the bottom of feet, to the wrist or draw a line with it across the bottom of your tummy when you get out of the shower in the morning. In as little as 1 to 3 days you will probably notice the classic symptoms disappearing. When using either Clary Sage or Geranium, you can use it intermittently as the symptoms appear. If you chose to use either of them daily, discontinue use after 3 weeks and wait a week before you start again. Peppermint applied to the neck or temples is great quick fix relief from hot flashes. It does not help the hormonal imbalance but does improve circulation. Valor and Trauma Life will help ease your way as you make the life changes demanded. Menopause is a time of change. Your body is asking you to recognize a different phase of your life and honor it. This means we have to redefine who we are as women. Valor gives us the strength and courage to become who we are meant to be. Trauma Life helps us release the Page 5

I believe Ningxia Red helps your changing metabolism stay more balanced. Hormones play such an important role in all the body systems that affect metabolism hence the range of symptoms you see. Ningxia not only provides some great anti-oxidants but it also helps your body efficiently use the fuels you supply it with. Menopause is asking us to change. This does not have to be a traumatic time if we gracefully accept the invitation to step into a new role. Finding ways to provide your body with it's new requirements and embracing the new journey ahead will ease this time in your life. Blessings, Dianna Walsh, USA Long menstrual bleeding & cervical pre cancer About 5-6 years ago I think it was, in my early menopause I had the heavy bleeding. Then after spending on several herbal tinctures I talked with a midwife who explained, they work after childbirth, but not for this. After successfully stopping it once with ample Mister oil blend on my wrists, abdomen and belly, it didn't work the next time and I finally saw a doc. This is really rare for me. On exam he said, you have something growing there, you will need a biopsy to determine if it is malignant. I didn't go there, but said I'll be treating it naturally. He said, give it 4-6 weeks, and come back, it can grow really fast sometimes. 6 weeks later my pap test was clean! I know of many healers and hardly could take a breath before so many more came recommended. Oh this Chinese woman is better than that Chinese doc, Ayurvedic, Tibetan, etc. I closed the door, meditated, and in a quiet state of mind drew a tarot card on each one. I knew I needed to make a decision and go for it, cancer requires immediate attention. My budget was a recent CD of about $300 total savings. Not insurance, and owning my own small business, no job benefits, security, etc. Big decisions. The best Tarot card was on the oils, to my surprise! (and a very personal message to me about what I knew was key for me, feminine healing... it showed women in a circle holding filled cups up in the air). Second best on a medical intuitive. I called upline to Kathy Farmer and Vicki Opfer, got some ideas or others experiences. I ordered helichrysum (stops bleeding the best), frankincense (antitumoral), Immupower (said to help dissolve unnatural growths) and myrrh (on instinct and because it is female organs specific). And bought some empty capsules. I used two capsules twice a day, once at bedtime and once during my morning meditation program only I did it prone with hips slightly elevated. In a few days I discovered some yukky grey matter and thought the capsules were creating the mess, until I felt my cervix. I could feel the back half of my cervix! (where the growth had been) I could also feel two not well integrated layers of tissue on the cervix, one very flaccid and one overly hard. I continued. In 2.5 weeks I was concerned, can't work no more savings, what is my next step and called the medical intuitive. He said, yes it was malignant, finish those bottles and that will be enough and now we have to do the emotional work and deal with diet. I was living at 8500 feet in snowy springtime mind you, and he put me on almost all raw diet. HUGE plates of salad, including chard and kale and red onion (specific for me, btw). A little tofu, occasional baked potato. Some dressing was allowed, I often used tahini etc homemade with garlic olive oil etc and craved the oiliness. He scanned me for nutritional supplements and herbs and we Page 6

7 Young Living Oils Testimonials Summary would update this each week. Included Vit C, sometimes needed bioflavanoids sometimes didn t. Regarding emotions, he found heavy negativity coming my way (my ex) and I was taking it all there, trying to be so receptive I way overdid! Scanned my little oils collection and targeted for me Sacred Mountain, Abundance!, and I think Valor and Joy. Every time I used them, how wonderful. The Sacred Mountain, I would experience OOOH! I don't have to participate in all this level of energy, I can be functioning from a gentler, cleaner space. It was such a gift. In about 6 months time he was (thankfully) weaning me back on increasing percentages of cooked foods (veggies, soups, and a little dairy). Took about a year of follow-up, even though the pap was clean way before. My case was an earlier stage, not as big a deal as some have to deal with. Oh, what I realized using those capsules about those oils... I felt the frankincense protect my aura/energy field so I could more cleanly perceive my own lessons. The helichrysum (love it) helped reset the akashic ie ether/space element which also has to do with how we perceive spatially (as well as being root source of sense of hearing, which is why it is the key oil for that as well as tissue regeneration), and the myrrh is so kind, soothing as well as healing to raw tissues I'm sure its use was key for me and partly why the other oils were so comfortable to use on the internal tissues. I hope this serves others. Each of us are different, of course, but some of the organizing principles are the same. Ysha Oakes, USA Some of these products we can t get in Australia at this time Dragon Time deals with hot flushes I have tried ingesting and applying clary sage, Sclaressence and Dragon Time esseential oils and noted their effects on my hot flushes. They have all greatly reduced the intensity of the flushes and the frequencies. I am currently applying to the back of my neck and the clavicle (notch where collarbones meet at base of neck) 1 drop only of Dragon Time morning and evening, and I'm finding this works really well. I may get up to 2 very mild hot flushes a day. I am determined to get my hormones in balance and when Progessence and Prenolone + become available I will try first one and then the other to see which one helps the best. There are several good oil blends for hormones, so if one doesn't produce the desired effect, just keep trying, testing and energizing your body at the same time. Debbie Baronian, NZ Progessence cream helps with night sweats I just had to share my success with you! I have had hormone problems my whole life, since puberty I believe. I even had to take a progesterone pill during the first trimester of my pregnancies to keep from loosing them. I never really gave it much thought until I started having night sweats (I am 46 now). I had a saliva hormone panel done by ZRT labs with the following results: Page 7

8 Estradiol = 1.1 (normal ) for premenopausal Progesterone = 14 (normal ) for premenopausal ratio of Progesterone to Estrodial = 13 (optimal ) Young Living Oils Testimonials Summary My nurse practitioner tried to get me to use bioidentical hormones and I told her I really didn't want to do that. I wanted to try YL Progessence Cream. Her comments were 'at your age and with such a low level, I doubt a topical cream will do anything'. I started using YL Progessence Cream twice a day (just about 1/2 inch of cream) in late June (I believe). I was retested in late November with the following results: Estradiol = 1.8 (normal ) for premenopausal Progesterone = 737 (normal ) for people on hormones ratio of Progesterone to Estrodial = 409 (optimal ) Best of all NO more night sweats! Thank you Young Living!! Ann Maxted, USA Change of Life - Hot Flashes - Night Sweats I have found Young Living's Endoflex oil blend and FemiGen supplement is the best combination, for me. A glass of water with a drop of Peppermint oil is very cooling when suffering from Hot Flashes. Betty Walczak, USA Progessence Plus Serum Once I turned 50 I began having hot flashes, trouble sleeping and mood swings. I have now been using YL Progessence Plus Serum since it was introduced at 2010 convention. I am sleeping better, mood swings are under control and my hot flashes are few and far between. So easy to use and just 2 drops daily work for me.
