Natural Ways to Protect Yourself from Radiation

March 29, 2011 - PRLog -- As you have undoubtedly heard, Japan is currently suffering from the effects of a massive earthquake, which in turn created a devastating tsunami. Sending your thoughts and prayers to the  people in Japan as they cope with this catastrophe is valuable. Our positivity is essential not only for others, a positive outlook can help strengthen our bodies and our minds.

Beyond the immediate impact of this disaster, several nuclear reactors on the eastern coast of Japan have been compromised. Radiation exposure can have devastating health consequences, a fact learned from the Chernobyl disaster in the 1980s. As happened with Chernobyl, there are concerns that any leaked radiation from one or more Japanese nuclear reactors may be carried by air currents across large portions of the globe.

Japanese authorities are working to repair these reactors and contain the radiation. However, the true extent of these leaks is not yet known, and they could have the potential to affect people in Japan and across the world. Knowing this, we can take prudent precautionary steps to protect ourselves and loved ones from potential radioactive effects.

Here are several steps that you can take to safeguard our home with the powerful air-purifying and DNA-protecting properties of Young Living essential oils, and we recommend that you do the same.

• Use a Young Living diffuser, coupled with the following oils, in the rooms of your home over the coming days and weeks. Diffuse a combination of Melrose, Sacred Frankincense, and Purification essential oils. Combine the oils in pairs when diffusing (for example, Melrose with Sacred Frankincense or Sacred Frankincense with Purification). Melrose is a particularly powerful blend because it contains two melaleuca oils that may protect cells from radiation damage, according to Dr. Daniel Penoel in l'aromathÄ-rapie Exactement.

• Another sensible precaution is to wear an inexpensive dust mask saturated with the above oils while you are outside or traveling.

While science has not yet made a demonstrable link between diminished radiation effects and essential oils or resin burning, I believe in doing everything possible to protect my family using natural means.

In addition to the above recommendations, Young Living has created a new kit called QuadShield (#4559). QuadShield (see green products in above box) combines four potent Young Living products: Super C,* Melrose, Longevity, and Thyromin.* These products may have a synergistic, protective effect on your hormonal and immune systems, and I recommend sending this kit to friends and family in Japan, as well as using them personally in your home.

It is not my intention to alarm anyone or cause undue concern over the developing situation in Japan. However, I strongly believe in being proactive and using readily available resources at our disposal to safeguard our health and those we love. I also feel that this recent disaster could be viewed as a wake-up call to all of us about the radiation that surrounds us all the time and the methods that we can use to protect us from it.


Use the following Young Living products to protect your home and environment (based upon their availability in your market):
• Longevity: 1–2 capsules twice daily
• Melrose: 6–20 drops per capsule or in yogurt 1–3 times a day
• Super C*: 1–2 tablets daily
• Thyromin*: 1 capsule three times a day
• ICP: 1 to 2 teaspoons in the morning
