Exciting News: Aromatherapy Reduces the Need for Bipolar Drugs

In Europe, the use of aromatherapy in hospitals, nursing homes, and medical facilities of all types is commonplace. In the United States, little by little, we are waking up to the beneficial and therapeutic uses for essential oils in the health care industry. In fact, there are now more than a few nursing homes employing Young Living Essential Oils in the private rooms, the public sitting rooms, and the dining areas. I want you to know that run-of-the-mill aromatherapy oils don’t have these effects. Please be aware of that!

One specific nursing home is using 14 diffusers throughout the building, and I will quote their results here. Lavender for behavior control is common; and lavender oil for the promotion of sleep is also common. Peppermint, on the other hand, is used for improved alertness. Peace & Calming (blend from Young Living) is used for behavior control. Lemon (which kills e coli) is diffused also for infection control; Purification (YL blend) and Thieves (YL blend) are powerful and used alternately with Lemon for intense infection control.

For residents with difficult behavioral issues, Lavender or Peace & Calming are diffused in their independent rooms. Peppermint, 10-15 drops, is diffused in the recreation room while residents are having an activity. Lavender (10-15 drops) is diffused in lunch areas or the tv room in the afternoon between 2-4 p.m.

Simple aromatherapy (if the oils used are YL oils, therapeutic in quality, highest in world-wide AFNOR standard) enables all people, including bipolar people, to come down off anti-depressants, anti-psychotic meds, anti-anxiety meds, anti-hypnotic drugs. The nursing home in the spotlight here, kept record of the number of residents able to decrease their meds or discontinue them altogether. Between January and March 2008, 7 residents decreased their anti-psychotic drugs, 9 came off altogether; 3 reduced their anti-anxiety meds, 4 came off altogether; 4 reduced the dosage of their anti-depressants; 3 discontinued their anti-depressants.

Young Living Essential Oils can play an important part in reducing the use of psychotropic drugs for bipolar people of all ages, and others involved with antidepressants and related medications. We want YOU to experiment in your home and office situations. Diffuse our beneficial essential oils and see the results for yourself, not only for calming emotions and attitudes, but also for protection from illness. Kill germs in the workplace; keep everybody well during the winter cold and flu season; Affect the lives of your family and/or your co-workers and see how well they appreciate the help! Hint: the blend called “Thieves” has a Christmas smell and is extremely antimicrobial…
