Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
This technique was developed to help wake up the spine. My daughter is a high functioning autistic. We began using Young Living Essential Oils in November of 2011. I started using this technique on her immediately. The technique is designed to help wake up the spine to be more receptive to the oils/blends. This can be done using any of the Young Living oils.
In my journey with my daughter, I have found that there are many brain disorders like autism, OCD, ADD, ADHD, and the list goes on. Each of these can benefit from the following steps:
* Find an area where you have no distractions like a bedroom, etc., and give yourself a break to block out everything to devote your time to your child. Children deserve our attention.
* Have them lie face down.
* Have the oils in order of how you want to apply them. You take 1 oil at a time, and rub 1 drop of that oil on the bottoms of each of their feet. Starting with the BIG TOE. Do this with each of the oils, and do this with both feet. It's just that simple: repeat with each of the oils. Start with the right foot and then move to the left foot.
* When you apply the oils to your child's feet, rub each oil in a clockwise motion.
* You will want to lightly tickle up the back 3 times to awaken the sensory nerves in the back of your child's spine. This will stimulate the nerves and the receptors in their brains.
* When complete, have them curl into the fetal position or "like a shrimp".
* Rub in small circles from the sacrum to the top of the neck where it meets the head. Do this 3 times.
You can repeat this 2 to 3 times a day. Your child will let you know by their behavior when it is needed and the frequency.
I would recommend also using the following Young Living supplements: NingXia Red juice, enzymes, Life 5 daily. I would also recommend the DiGize oil blend.

|---|---|---|
| 1. | Associated topics: behavior — "The present study indicated that lavender aromatherapy as a potential therapeutic modality could alleviate premenstrual emotional symptoms, which, at least in part, is attributable to the improvement of parasympathetic nervous system activity. This study further implies that HRV could evaluate the efficacy of aromatherapy using various fragrances to relieve premenstrual symptoms, and ultimately, support the mind and body health of women." | Link |
| 2. | Associated topics: spine — "We examined the evidence regarding the effect of herbal medicine on pain in people with non-specific low-back pain (LBP).... Lavender essential oil applied by acupressure appeared effective in reducing pain and improving flexibility compared to conventional treatment." | Link |
| 3. | Associated topics: behavior — "Beta-Caryophyllene [component of cannabis, clove, copaiba], a CB2 [cannabinoid] receptor agonist produces multiple behavioral changes relevant to anxiety and depression in mice.... these preclinical results suggest that CB2 receptors may provide alternative therapeutic targets for the treatment of anxiety and depression. The possibility that BCP may ameliorate the symptoms of these mood disorders offers exciting prospects for future studies." | Link |
| 4. | Associated topics: behavior — "A number of essential oils are currently in use as aromatherapy agents to relieve anxiety, stress, and depression. Popular anxiolytic oils include lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), rose (Rosa damascena), orange (Citrus sinensis), bergamot (Citrus aurantium), lemon (Citrus limon), sandalwood (Santalum album), clary sage (Salvia sclarea), Roman chamomile (Anthemis nobilis), and rose-scented geranium (Pelargonium spp.)." | Link |
| 5. | Associated topics: behavior — "Most studies, as well as clinically applied experience, have indicated that various essential oils, such as lavender, lemon and bergamot can help to relieve stress, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. Most notably, inhalation of essential oils can communicate signals to the olfactory system and stimulate the brain to exert neurotransmitters (e.g. serotonin and dopamine), thereby further regulating mood." | Link |
| 6. | Associated topics: behavior — "The ylang ylang oil caused a significant decrease of blood pressure and a significant increase of skin temperature. At the behavioral level, subjects in the ylang ylang oil group rated themselves more calm and more relaxed than subjects in the control group. These findings are likely to represent a relaxing effect of the ylang ylang oil and provide some evidence for the usage of the ylang ylang oil in aromatherapy such as causing a relief of depression and stress in humans." | Link |
| 7. | Associated topics: behavior — "Lavender essential oil has been used as an anxiolytic [anxiety] drug, a mood stabilizer, a sedative, spasmolytic [muscle spasms], antihypertensive [high blood pressure], antimicrobial, analgesic [pain] agent as well as a wound healing accelerator.... The present study suggests that inhalation of lavender essential oil may be an effective and safe treatment modality in acute management of migraine headaches." | Link |
| 8. | Associated topics: behavior,aspergers,autism,attention-deficit-disorder-(ADD),attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-(ADHD) — "The results indicate that children’s shared attention behaviors increased during aromatherapy massage and that other aspects of their behavior also changed over the course of the research. Family involvement in the study enabled these changes to be transferred from school to home.... Steve Solomons explores the implications of his research for new teaching and learning opportunities for children with autistic spectrum disorders and severe learning difficulties." | Link |
