How to control hair loss due to stress?

It's so cool when you meet new people & when they ask about essential oils and young living, they realize that they actually already have the diffuser already they got as a gift two years ago for christmas from their mother and its just been sitting on their night stand & they use it nightly but didn't know exactly what it was. I was talking to a co-worker the other night on the way into work and come to find out she uses her diffuser and oils religiously. She started asking questions about the different oils and telling me about her "light green oil, away something" she kept calling it. I then thought for a second to realize she was talking about her stress away oil. She said as a child in school she would loose hair like crazy she had to pay thousands and thousands of dollars for injections into her scalp and it would hurt so bad. All to haver her hair grow back in, well she found out she was loosing her hair due to stress. Several years later she started going though a nasty break up and college and having to move and her life was changing and she was under a lot of stress again. Her mother then bought her the diffuser and stress away oil. Since she started using stress away her stress has been minimized a great deal and she no longer has the hair loss problems anymore.

Winter Time, Cold season.

You dont want to be sick, & you NEVER want to see you children sick. My son is one and a half. We had a busy day and he was around six kids in one day, normally he isn't around many children at all. He woke up the next morning with a cough and runny nose, I had just got my diffuser in the mail and I was still reading up on the product and how to use them and what they can be used for. I saw that using thieves oil would get rid of the "common cold" so I tried it in my diffuser, within twenty minutes not even a runny nose that previous to using the diffuser was a constant run like a water hose for two days. I was completely amazed at how it stopped and was no longer running. I ended up turning off my diffuser because we had to leave to go to the grocery store because I had been delaying it due to the runny nose. That night I got home and spoke with another representative about how fast it worked and she told me to keep the runny nose gone I should make a paste with the thieves oil and coconut oil and rub it onto his feet. That night I did as she advised and he was simply better the next morning no cough, no runny nose, & no fever. I was simply amazed. If you or someone you know has the common cold, order thieves oil today! Just click the link, It's listed under recommended products.  www.youngliving.org/mkaymcleod
