Gary has a special surprise for those coming to the Winter Harvest. A highresolution gas chromatograph (GC) will be available for the immediate testing of essential oils distilled at the St. Maries distillery. This is an opportunity of a lifetime for all distributors coming to the harvest, giving them illuminating insight into the testing and bottling of the oils being distilled during the Winter Harvest. The GC instrument, Gary Young analyzes oils using the high-resolution gas chromatograph, one of three normally an instrument distributors will use at this year’s Winter Harvest. AT YOUNG LIVING we look forward with great anticipation to wintertime, when our balsam fir, blue spruce, Western red cedar, and pine trees are ready for harvesting and distilling.

What a year 2012 has been for Young Living and you! The company has changed; you have changed. I’ve heard from so many of you how by focusing on transforming your lives through Young Living, you are living better than ever before. How exhilarating! With success in achieving goals and experiencing transformation comes a renewed sense of belief—belief in one’s self, belief in principles, and belief in something bigger than the individual. The power to believe is astonishing. It is bred through a cumulative process of simple, day-to-day victories, where we overcome obstacles and reach heights higher than we ever could have imagined. Action, then, is key to believing. So much of what we do or do not accomplish in life depends entirely on what we choose to act on. Each of us is an agent with the responsibility to act, not to be acted upon. Ours is the divine right to pursue with diligence happiness and freedom. It is only through a dedicated pursuit of reaching our potential that we are filled with the powerful, motivating belief that we can achieve anything we put our minds—and muscles—to achieving. What a tremendous responsibility we have to ourselves! A new year is quickly approaching. As you begin thinking about how you can continue your personal transformation, I challenge you, if you haven’t already, to truly begin to believe in yourself. Be an agent that acts; be somebody’s inspiration. The power to inspire resides in each of you! Young Living believes in you!

With cold winter weather quickly approaching for many Young Living members, we would like to remind you that low temperatures may affect NingXia Red® during shipping. If you live in a cold climate, consider upgrading your shipping method to at least FedEx three-day shipping to protect your order of NingXia Red from freezing, breaking, or leaking. Low temperatures will not damage or freeze your essential oils, but they may change their appearance. For example, rose oil may thicken or gel when it gets too cold; placing the bottle under warm water or rolling it in your hands will help the oil liquefy again. Citrus oils may become cloudy when cold, but this occurs naturally and you may continue to use them as usual. To upgrade your NingXia Red shipping method or to place an order, visit Virtual Office or contact Customer Care at 800.371.3515 today!

I love the expression “essential oils are Mother Nature’s cocktail,” and I am very excited that Young Living has a high standard and a determination to use these amazing and powerful gifts in all of its products. I have received many questions regarding the use of Young Living skin-care products, so I have decided to start my articles in the Essential Edge News with the unique simplicity of the entire skin-care line. As we get older, our skin changes; it may become thinner and more fragile, more susceptible to broken capillaries, broken lines, or sagging. Even though aging is natural, we all would like to prolong the youthful beauty of our faces to match the still-growing vitality, beauty, and confidence we carry inside. The unique skin-care ingredients, in combination with carefully chosen Young Living essential oils, may help you achieve this desired balance. Young Living’s simple skin-care routine:

Tone (after exfoliating or using masques)—Use A•R•T Purifying Toner to refresh and keep your skin at a healthy pH balance. 4. Deep Skin Care (a.m. & p.m.)—Use A•R•T Renewal Serum, enriched with the powerful benefits of orchid flowers. The active ingredients have a lower molecular weight and are able to penetrate into the skin’s deeper layers. 5. Moisturize (a.m. & p.m.)—Choose from the wonderful collection of Young Living moisturizing creams, depending on your preference or skin type, ranging from the pleasantly scented Sandalwood Moisture Cream to the powerful Boswellia Wrinkle Cream; or use the A•R•T Day Activator in the morning to protect your skin and the A•R•T Night Reconstructor in the evening to help moisturize and soothe the skin. 6. Special or Extra Care—Protect, beautify, and pamper your skin. Use A•R•T Beauty Masque 2 times a week and indulge in the benefits of the orchid extracts and the wisdom of Chinese herbalists, who for thousands of years have used these ingredients to create skin-beautifying formulas. Use A•R•T Creme Masque 2-3 times a week to deeply moisturize, protect, and rejuvenate your skin with the powerful hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, vitamins, and exotic blend of essential oils. For the delicate area around the eyes, use Wolfberry Eye Cream; and for extra irritated and dry skin, use Rose Ointment or one of our Essential Beauty Serums. Use ClaraDerm™ and LavaDerm™ when you feel that your skin needs special attention or reviving; and to protect and moisturize your lips, use Cinnamint, Grapefruit, or Lavender Lip Balm.

Dear Young Living,
Thank you for taking us to the heart of Australia. What a magical location you selected for the leadership experience. What a fantastic mix of group activities: dinner under the stars, sunset at two spectacular locations, and beautiful walking tours. Other companies simply don’t go to these extreme lengths for their leaders. We’ve been so fortunate to have spent time with Young Living leaders at other Young Living events. We were pleasantly surprised and pleased with the noticeable bonding that occurred, which was facilitated by this opportunity. The intimate nature of the small group offered countless benefits. We cannot express the significance of the confidence and faith shown to us at this event. We already know Young Living is our future; it fills us with pride to know that you see that in us too.

Young Living News from Around the World Singapore had a very festive first anniversary celebration on October 20, which was made even more special by guest Dr. Peter Minke. He did a remarkable job in sharing important knowledge about family first aid with essential oils, as well as essential oil chemistry. The Singapore office also brought Dr. Minke to Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, October 22–23. Watch out for the next big event in Singapore, which is the launch of the new NingXia Red® with Young Living’s director of training and education, Doug Corrigan, on January 19.
PERU
Young Living Peru is reaching new heights with growing support at the global headquarters and the introduction of NingXia Red. Nancy Yoshiwara was introduced in October as the marketing manager for Young Living Peru and comes with a great professional background and enthusiasm to take Peru to the next level of service and support. NingXia Red has been well received across the country by distributors who are enthused to have a new way of consuming oils and invigorating their health.
JAPAN
More than 600 distributors shared the excitement at the Japan workshop held in Osaka and Tokyo in October. Slique™ Tea and Slique Essence™ were successfully launched, and many are setting goals and getting ready for the Slique Challenge. Gary’s presentation surely motivated Japanese distributors to achieve transformation. Four Japanese distributors also shared their stories about Young Living products and their businesses. Qualified distributors enjoyed the recognition dinner with Jared Turner, the new VP of international, who spoke about the vision and potential of the Japanese market. The event created great momentum that will take Young Living Japan to the next level.
MEXICO
Young Living Mexico has renewed energy that has been ignited by great leadership and great new products. The health and wellness of many have been invigorated by the introduction of Progessence Phyto Plus™ and Slique Tea. To add to these exciting products, we are proud to introduce the new NingXia Red in November with three celebrations across the country.

ECUADOR
EUROPE
An exciting and active month in October saw Europeans welcome the launch of the new NingXia Red and a number of other new products. The successful launch of the European holiday catalog also offers a wonderful selection of gifts and ideas for sharing during the festive season. Marc Schreuder visited European headquarters and Sweden, where he spoke to an enthralled audience about Europe’s Young Living products, including the new NingXia Red, Progessence Phyto Plus, and Slique Tea. Product presentations and training were also held in Austria with guest speakers Doug Corrigan and Dr. Olivier Wenker.

With cold winter weather quickly approaching for many Young Living members, we would like to remind you that low temperatures may affect NingXia Red® during shipping. If you live in a cold climate, consider upgrading your shipping method to at least FedEx three-day shipping to protect your order of NingXia Red from freezing, breaking, or leaking. Low temperatures will not damage or freeze your essential oils, but they may change their appearance. For example, rose oil may thicken or gel when it gets too cold; placing the bottle under warm water or rolling it in your hands will help the oil liquefy again. Citrus oils may become cloudy when cold, but this occurs naturally and you may continue to use them as usual. To upgrade your NingXia Red shipping method or to place an order, visit Virtual Office or contact Customer Care at 800.371.3515 today!
Revitalizing, total-body protection* • Over 50 percent increase in S-ORAC level to help protect against free radicals* • Now with patented and standardized grape seed extract

I love the expression “essential oils are Mother Nature’s cocktail,” and I am very excited that Young Living has a high standard and a determination to use these amazing and powerful gifts in all of its products. I have received many questions regarding the use of Young Living skin-care products, so I have decided to start my articles in the Essential Edge News with the unique simplicity of the entire skin-care line. As we get older, our skin changes; it may become thinner and more fragile, more susceptible to broken capillaries, broken lines, or sagging. Even though aging is natural, we all would like to prolong the youthful beauty of our faces to match the still-growing vitality, beauty, and confidence we carry inside. The unique skin-care ingredients, in combination with carefully chosen Young Living essential oils, may help you achieve this desired balance. Young Living’s simple skin-care routine:
Now Kosher and Halal approved
New custom glass bottle • Nonporous and impermeable glass ensures NingXia Red’s freshness and taste • No plastic or plastic-lined aluminum packaging
Now in 2-oz. packets and easy-to-open 750-ml bottles
Available in the new Start Living and Essential Rewards kits
1. Cleanse (a.m. & p.m.)—Use A•R•T® Gentle Foaming Cleanser for makeup removal or Orange Blossom Facial Wash™ for a refreshing feel and basic cleansing. 2. Exfoliate (2 times a week)—Use Satin Facial Scrub™ to help speed up your skin’s natural renewal process and keep the skin soft and glowing. 3. Tone (after exfoliating or using masques)—Use A•R•T Purifying Toner to refresh and keep your skin at a healthy pH balance. 4. Deep Skin Care (a.m. & p.m.)—Use A•R•T Renewal Serum, enriched with the powerful benefits of orchid flowers. The active ingredients have a lower molecular weight and are able to penetrate into the skin’s deeper layers. 5. Moisturize (a.m. & p.m.)—Choose from the wonderful collection of Young Living moisturizing creams, depending on your preference or skin type, ranging from the pleasantly scented Sandalwood Moisture Cream to the powerful Boswellia Wrinkle Cream; or use the A•R•T Day Activator in the morning to protect your skin and the A•R•T Night Reconstructor in the evening to help moisturize and soothe the skin. 6. Special or Extra Care—Protect, beautify, and pamper your skin. Use A•R•T Beauty Masque 2 times a week and indulge in the benefits of the orchid extracts and the wisdom of Chinese herbalists, who for thousands of years have used these ingredients to create skin-beautifying formulas. Use A•R•T Creme Masque 2-3 times a week to deeply moisturize, protect, and rejuvenate your skin with the powerful hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, vitamins, and exotic blend of essential oils. For the delicate area around the eyes, use Wolfberry Eye Cream; and for extra irritated and dry skin, use Rose Ointment or one of our Essential Beauty Serums. Use ClaraDerm™ and LavaDerm™ when you feel that your skin needs special attention or reviving; and to protect and moisturize your lips, use Cinnamint, Grapefruit, or Lavender Lip Balm.

AIRASE: Essential Oils vs. Biofilms Have you joined AIRASE yet? Here’s an example of a Hot News research article you will receive each week as part of your membership.
If you have ever had a dental cavity, it’s the result of biofilm on your teeth—commonly called plaque. People with medical implants—pacemakers, stents, artificial joints—may have experienced a bacterial infection because of a biofilm. Veysel Berk, a postdoctural fellow
in the Department of Physics at the California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences at UC Berkeley, reported on a new imaging technique using super-resolution light microscopy to investigate bacterial biofilms in the July 13, 2012, issue of Science. In the article, Berk stated, “In their

natural habitat, 99.9 percent of all bacteria live as a community and attach to surfaces as biofilms; according to the National Institutes of Health, 80 percent of all infections in humans are related to biofilms.” Andre Levchenko, PhD, Johns Hopkins University, wrote: “There is a perception that single-celled organisms are asocial, but that is misguided. When bacteria are under stress . . . they team up and form this collective called a biofilm. If you look at naturally occurring biofilms, they are like cities with channels for nutrients to go in and waste to go out.” The UC Berkeley article reported on Veysel Berk’s microscope: “He discovered that over a period of about six hours, a single bacterium laid down a glue to attach itself to a surface, then divided into daughter cells, making certain to cement each daughter to itself before splitting in two. The daughters continued to divide until they formed a cluster . . . at which point the bacteria secreted a protein that encased the cluster like the shell
of a building.” Knowing now that most bacteria live almost entirely in colonies (biofilms), the next important fact to learn is that while a single bacteria “may be susceptible to antibiotics, the films can be 1,000 times more resistant and most can only be removed surgically.” If this is not daunting enough, biofilms are found not just in humans but throughout our environment. They clog pipes and watersheds and contaminate food and food processing surfaces. Biofilms in hospitals are particularly deadly. Biofilm research is vital for the safety of patients with urinary tract infections, catheter infections, children’s middle-ear infections, and dental plaque and gingivitis. What can protect you against a colony of pathogens that is 1,000 times more resistant to antibiotics than the pathogen as a single cell? It will come as no surprise that researchers have posted 76 PubMed studies investigating the power of essential oils against this well-armored threat.
Young Living OILS play a key role in an exciting new partnership between Donna Karan’s Urban Zen Foundation, the Kent State College of Nursing, the Nursing Self-Care Consortium Schools of Cleveland State University, and the Ursuline College Breen School of Nursing. Urban Zen faculty members are training the schools’ nursing students in integrative therapy modalities, which include Young Living essential oils, as part of the Care for the Caregiver program. Essential oil therapy is a vital component of Urban Zen’s Integrative Therapy (UZIT) Program, along with therapeutic yoga, Reiki, nutritional instruction, and contemplative care. UZIT is designed to complement traditional medical techniques and offers substantial benefits to both the recipient and the caregiver. Pure Young Living essential oils such as lavender and peppermint are used
topically and in an aromatherapeutic manner in UZIT. Young Living recently made a large donation of essential oils to the college. Kent State and the Nursing SelfCare Consortium nursing students have been enthusiastic and receptive to the integration of essential oils in their training, and the college plans to continue to use Young Living oils as part of its ongoing student curriculum. “Overall, I believe the use of Young Living essential oils has helped our students become more open to the different UZIT modalities,” says Tracey Motter, director of Kent State’s undergraduate BSN programs. “I’ve also noticed that the oils have benefited our students by helping them to decrease their stress levels and cope with the high-paced curriculum.”
