As a special education teacher, I've often wondered how our essential oils might benefit my students. Of course, I don't ever use them on students but it does make me wonder how their learning might be improved with the use. If you've wondered that as well, and would like to try our Young Living oils,

Information about oils for AutismCEDARWOOD (Cedrus atlantica)
Inhaling the oils of Cedarwood increases the ability to think clearly and enhances the awareness needed for effective prayer and meditation. This is because of all the essential oils of the world, Cedarwood contains the highest concentration of sesquiterpenes, which have the ability to pass through the blood-brain barrier and oxygenate the braindirectly upon inhalation by way of the nasal passages and the olfactory nerves. It has been suggested that Cedarwood oil might prevent senility and Alzheimer’s disease.
Key Chemistry: Cedarwood contains 98% sesquiterpenes which deprogram misinformation written in the DNA due to trauma, abuse, loss and ancestral and limiting beliefs. Sesquiterpenes are considered the antidepressant in this valuable aspect.Cedarwood may also be useful as a general cerebral stimulant.It may be diffused or applied topically as desired.
Fragrant Influence: Stimulates the limbic region of the brain (the center of emotions) and the pineal gland, which releases melatonin. Terry Friedmann, MD found in clinical tests that this oil was able to successfully treat ADD and ADHD (attention deficit disorders) in children. It is recognized for its calming, purifying properties.Application: (1) Apply on location, (2) chakras/vitaflex points, (3) directly inhale, (4) diffuse, or (5) take as dietary supplement (see Appendices E and T).
—————-Palo Santo(Rachel Note-I have heard that Palo Santo is a kind of “Super Frankincense”.)In spiritual aromatherapy it can be beneficial for meditation, concentration, and for enhancing creativity and learning. (AUTISM)Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens), also known as “Holy Wood,” is an essential oil high in limonene (60-65%), about the same amount found in Young Living’s lemon essential oil. Palo Santo has been used for years in folk medicines and in liniments and has properties similar to frankincense. Palo Santo can also be worn as a perfume to release negative energy. How to use: For topical use, apply 1-2 drops on affected area. For aromatic use, inhale directly as needed or diffuse/humidify for 10-15 minutes daily. Keep in a cool, dark place. ——————–
Frankincense (Boswellia carteri) has a sweet, warm, balsamic aroma that is stimulating and elevating to the mind. Useful for visualizing, improving one’s spiritual connection, and centering, it has comforting properties that help with focusing the mind and overcoming stress and despair.* Frankincense is considered a holy anointing oil in the Middle East, where it has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. More recently, it has been used therapeutically in European and American hospitals and is the subject of substantial research. Frankincense is also a valuable ingredient in skin care products for aging and dry skin. The ancient Egyptians used it in rejuvenation face masks. Frankincense has an approximate ORAC of 6,125 (TE/L). TE/L is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent per liter. How to use: For dietary or topical use. When using as a supplement, dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid such as soy or rice milk. ———————Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides) has a heavy, earthy fragrance similar to Patchouli with a touch of lemon. Vetiver oil ispsychologically grounding, calming, and stabilizing. One of the oils that is highest in sesquiterpenes, Vetiver was studied by Dr. Terry Friedmann for improving children’s behavior. Vetiver may help us cope with stress and recover from emotional trauma and shock.* Vetiver has an approximate ORAC of 742,792 (TE/L). TE/L is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent per liter. How to use: For dietary, aromatic, or topical use. When using as a supplement, dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid such as goat’s or rice milk.——————Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) root has been used for thousands of years forits calming, grounding, and emotionally balancing influences. During the last three decades, it has been clinically investigated for its relaxing properties. Researchers have pinpointed the sesquiterpenes, valerenic acid, and valerone as the active constituents that exert a calming effect on the central nervous system. German health authorities have pronounced valerian to be an effective aid for occasional restlessness and sleep disturbances.* Valerian has an approximate ORAC of 61,935 (TE/L). TE/L is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent per liter. How to use: For dietary or topical use. When using as a supplement, dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid such as soy or rice milk. ——————-
