Product Descriptions
Balance
Ingredients: chaste tree, clary sage, cypress, chamomile Egyptian, lavender, marjoram, myrtle, peppermint, rose geranium, sage, yarrow, ylang ylang
Affinity for: nervous system, endocrine system, emotions
Resonance: spiritual, emotional, physical
Application: LeBalance should be applied around the ankles on both men and women. It can also be diffused and is soothing when a drop or two is placed in the tub. If using in the shower, plug the drain and allow a couple of inches of water to accumulate in the bottom of the tub. Add your oils and continue your shower.
Aromatic Considerations: LeBalance is beneficial in the control of mood swings brought about by hormone and endocrine system imbalances in both men and women. (Yes, men have hormones that can and do get out of balance, too!)
Physical Aspects: LeBalance is beneficial in the control of mood swings brought about by hormone and endocrine system imbalances in both men and women. (Yes, men have hormones that can and do get out of balance, too!).
General Information: LeBalance often brings quick relief from the symptoms of menopause and should be used by women age 45 and older. LeWoman Wise is a better choice for younger women of menstruating age to balance hormones and relieve the symptoms of PMS. For best results, LeWoman Wise and LeBalance should be used in conjunction with LeEndo Relief, which has a strengthening effect on the entire endocrine system.
Cautions: LeBalance, being an oil which has an effect on hormones, should definitely not be used during pregnancy!!
InsideOut
Ingredients: aniseseed, cardamom, fennel, juniper, kanuka, lemon, lemongrass, patchouli, peppermint piperita, tarragon, thyme, cilantro
Affinity for: digestive system, stomach meridian
Resonance: physical, emotional
Application: Apply one drop behind the ears for nausea, motion sickness, or morning sickness. LeInside-Out can also be applied over the abdomen either by diluting with a carrier oil or as a compress.
Emotional/Spiritual Aspects: LeInside-Out is primarily considered an oil which works on the physical body. Whenever you use an essential oil, you will be working on underlying emotional roots as well as physical complaints. LeInside-Out can be helpful in discovering and sorting through the emotions underlying the digestive problems. LeInside-Out can help calm the obsessive worry that sometimes contributes to digestive difficulties.
Physical Aspects: LeInside-Out improves the function of the digestive system. It helps with upset stomach, belching, bloating, stomach cramps, heartburn, constipation, and diarrhea. LeInside-Out’s ability to be effective for both constipation and diarrhea may seem odd; it is not. Natural remedies work with the body to return systems to balanced and healthy states. They are not the administration of an ‘opposing’ remedy or force. This is true in every aspect of the body and mind when working with natural healers.
LeInside-Out should be used for any bout of intestinal flu or food poisoning.
It is useful for most types of nausea, either by inhaling the aroma or putting a drop behind each ear. This blend should be applied over the abdomen for colon problems and for candida overgrowth. LeInside-Out has been useful in the treatment of parasites in animals and humans. For humans, place LeInside-Outon the feet and massage across abdomen. For animals, dilute a few drops in water and massage into soft tissues.
Cautions: LeInside-Out contains a small amount of fennel which is, when used by itself, contra-indicated for use during pregnancy. This is an example of blended oils being safer to use than single
essential oils. This essential oil blend is safe to use for morning sickness in the manner described, but proper care, prudence, and judgement should be exercised.
Millenia
Ingredients: blue tansy, elemi, fir, frankincense, geranium, chamomile German, lavender, rosewood, spruce
Affinity for: emotions, body structure and alignment, muscles, skin, nervous system, energy/electrical system, every meridian, every chakra
Resonance: LeMillenia is a very low frequency oil. This makes it very effective for working on issues of physical structure and alignment. However, LeMillenia is also an outstanding emotional blend
Application: LeMillenia is very good applied to the bottoms of the feet or along the inside of the foot (the spine in reflexology and foot zone therapy). You can balance the energy between the left and right lobes of the brain by putting a drop of LeMillenia on your index fingers and placing your fingers on your temples. The left hand should be on the right temple, and the right hand on the left temple.
Aromatic Consideration: When diffused, LeMillenia builds courage, confidence, and self-esteem while being calming and relaxing at the same time.
Emotional/Spiritual Aspects: LeMillenia helps one find the courage to move forward with confidence and faith.
It brings clarity about what is really necessary for happiness and contentment. It can help us find an equilibrium between being organized, neat, orderly, meticulous, logical, and analytical (all good traits) and being obsessively focused on perfection. LeMillenia is used to aid us with self-expression, fear of conflict and disagreement, and the ability to make decisions. This blend can foster tenacity and independence of spirit.
Physical Aspects: “Chiropractor in a bottle” is a good description of this blend except that LeMillenia aligns so much more than just physical structures. LeMillenia aligns the electrical energies of the body, balances every meridian, and energizes every chakra. In addition,LeMillenia maintains the integrity of the connective tissues that wrap, connect, and protect every organ and balances the emotions connected to each organ.
LeMillenia balances the moisture and fluid levels in the body.
One of my favorite uses for LeMillenia is in working with ADHD and hyperactivity. Applying LeMillenia to the feet at least once a day can make a profound difference in a child’s ability to sit still and
concentrate. I use the feet because it is an excellent place to draw essential oils into the body. I also like the feet because the person (it is often a little boy) can put his shoes back on, go to school, and no one teases him because he ‘smells like flowers.’ Also consider using LeTranquility along with the LeMillenia.
As an agent of structural alignment, LeMillenia can be used as a diuretic, an antispasmodic, an expectorant, and a nervine, LeMillenia is helpful for some types of arthritis, for sciatica, and to improve capillary circulation. LeMillenia should be tried at the very first moment a hernia is suspected. Using LeMillenia to brush your teeth may keep your teeth aligned and prevent cavities. A drop should be diluted in almond oil and put in the ear for earache. This will realign physical structures and take the pressure off of the ear canal or ear drum. Because LeMillenia realigns physical and electrical structures, it is beneficial for some types of headaches. It is antispasmodic, analgesic and excellent where bruising has occurred.
There is not enough understanding of anorexia, but it is known that something in the way LeMillenia realigns the body systems changes the thinking and brings relief from this condition.
Anthopogon (Rhododendron anthopogon)
Ingredient In: LeReconciliation
Therapeutic Properties: anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, balsamic, depurative, hepatic, immunostimulant, nervine, restorative, sedative, tonic, antineuralgia, decongestant, nervous system tonic
Affinity For: immune system, digestive system, ligaments, bones, liver, hair, skin, all four fire meridians, heart and crown chakras, spleen meridian
Resonance: physical, emotional
Plant Family: Ericaceae
Part of Plant Used: flowers, leaves
Application: Anthopogon should be diffused, worn as a perfume, or diluted and applied anywhere on the body.
Aromatic Considerations: Anthopogon has a unique and very appealing fragrance which hangs in the air, becoming softer and more lovely as time passes. It is described as being fresh, green and balsamic with undertones of vanilla and conifers. I would simply describe it as delightful. It creates a feeling of openness, love, and connection, especially to family members and old friends.
Emotional/Spiritual Aspects: Anthopogon essential oil is very warming emotionally. It pulls one immediately into a mood of remembering, but with the blessing of a focus on the good times and the good in people. This oil is especially good for people whose lives have carried them far away from home and heritage. Anthopogon, and blends to which it has been added, are important and amazing oils for loss or bereavement of any kind.
Physical Aspects: Perhaps anthopogon’s most important characteristic in the physical realm is on the immune system. It has been used in Nepal for various types of blood disorders and systemic infections for a very long time. The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Padova in Italy has done extensive research as well as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry on this essential oil. Their results, published in a renowned scholarly scientific journal which targets important new discoveries, claim that anthopogon essential oil reduced cancer cell growth in all types of cells tested, using varying treatment protocols and varying concentrations of essential oil. The cancers anthopogon was tested against were ovarian, cervical, and colon—certainly three of the
deadliest and fastest moving cancers known. The research team speculated that the high pinene content was responsible, at least in part, for this action. This is truly important new research! Anthopogon was also shown effective against candida, e-coli, and several other strains of bacteria. Anthopogon is a stimulant essential oil, with a particular affinity for the liver and digestive system. It can stimulate appetite during illness or convalescence. This oil is useful for gouty arthritic conditions. It is strongly anti-inflammatory when applied to fibrous tissues, ligaments, and joints. In Nepal, where anthopogon has been used for many years, it is considered a symbol of balance in the fire meridian. Anthopogon’s therapeutic properties certainly indicate that it affects this meridian in all of its aspects; physically, mentally, and emotionally. It relieves headaches, backaches, and joint and muscle pains that were brought about by excesses of some kind (over-the-top activity or
consumption of food and drink). This oil is of great benefit to people whose illnesses are aggravated by windy or stormy conditions.
General Information: Anthopogon is the national symbol of Nepal, where it is used in meditation and healing.
Cautions: There are no known contraindications for this essential oil.
Copaiba Balsam (Copaifera langsdorfii)
Ingredient In: LeAngel, LeInner Peace, LeIQ, LeMyGraine, LePaine, LeSego Lily, LeVitality, LeBelieve
Therapeutic Properties: antiseptic, astringent, diuretic, expectorant, sedative to the nerves, tonic
Affinity For: skin, circulation, respiratory system, vascular system, liver meridian
Resonance: physical, emotional
Plant Family: Fabaceae
Part of plant used: resin
Application: Copaiba balsam can be applied anywhere on the body. The aroma of balsam, applied lightly, makes a wonderful perfume.
Aromatic Considerations: Copaiba balsam is referred to as nature’s air freshener. This is because of balsam’s remarkable ability to absorb odors.
Emotional/Spiritual Aspects: The aroma of balsam seems to fill the room with feelings of friendship and neighborliness. This oil is very supportive of relationships.
Physical Aspects: Balsam oils are traditionally used for skin problems such as chapped skin, rashes, sensitive skin, poor circulation, and eczema. Balsam adds a woodsy, vanilla-like scent to blends. These blends make pleasant hand lotions and skin care products. Copaiba balsam has been used for years as an expectorant for bronchitis, coughs, and colds. This oil increases circulation
without being a general stimulant. Copaiba balsam is effective for venous congestion, hemorrhoids, and varicose veins.
Cautions: Copaiba balsam makes the skin mildly photo-toxic where it has been applied. It is best to avoid sunlight on the treated areas of skin if you are applying this oil regularly.
Peppermint (Mentha arvensis)
Ingredient In: LeTenda Care, LePaine, LeCrystal Clear
Therapeutic Properties: The properties and actions for peppermint arvensis, are very similar to mentha piperita…tonic, cytophylactic, anti-infective, antiseptic, decongestant, antibiotic, antifungal, antidepressant, anti-toxic, aphrodisiac, astringent, calmative, nervine, anti-inflammatory to the nerves and the prostate
Affinity For: digestive system, tissues, mind, nerves, earth element, wood element, lung meridian, small intestine meridian, yang energy, throat chakra
Resonance: physical, mental
Plant Family: Labiatae
Part of plant Used: stems, leaves, flower buds
Aromatic Considerations: Peppermint arvensis is similar to peppermint piperita, but is more reminiscent of candy canes.
Application: Peppermint oil should be diluted well before applying to the skin. Placing one drop of peppermint under the tongue and breathing past it (the peppermint oil) has been known to stop an asthma attack or clear the nasal passages and sinus cavities. Vocal performers often use this trick to dispel mucous from their throats and stimulate their vocal cords. Peppermint is a good
massage oil for stimulating circulation. Peppermint is too strong to be added to a bath.
Emotional/Spiritual Aspects: Peppermint is like a rush of fresh energy into the system. It allows us to relax instead of letting anxiety build up in our body or mind. Peppermint oil is specific for people who move between highs and lows, sadness and happiness, until the ever-widening mood swings settle into lethargy, intolerance, and frustration. Just as peppermint strengthens the digestion and aids the absorption of nutrients on a physical level, it enhances our ability to ‘digest’ new ideas and impressions.
Physical /Mental Aspects: Dr. Dembar of the University of Cincinnati discovered in a research study that inhaling peppermint oil increased the mental accuracy of the students tested by up to 28%. Peppermint oil can also be used for headaches and nerve regeneration. Peppermint is renowned for action on the digestive system and for use in bowel disorders. It is one of the best essential oils for nausea, vomiting, morning sickness (small amounts only), mouth or gum infections, fainting, and motion sickness. Peppermint oil is strongly anti-inflammatory and analgesic. Peppermint oil increases circulation. All varieties of peppermint essential oil are useful for muscle pain, inflamed joints, and arthritis. The anti-inflammatory properties make peppermint essential oil supportive of prostate function.
General Information: Peppermint, like lavender, is soothing in small amounts and strongly stimulating in larger amounts.
Cautions: Arvensis has a higher menthol content than piperita, making it slightly more potent therapeutically, and a little more caustic. Peppermint oil is stimulating to the uterus. Extreme caution, mostly as to the amount used, should be taken with peppermint oils if pregnant.
