2009 Balsam Fir Harvest: Once again our Founder and President, Gary Young, was on the front lines to ensure Young Living essential oils are the purest and most potent available—he recently wrapped up a successful balsam fir harvest in northern Idaho!
There he employed the help of many Young Living employees and distributors, and his commitment to the Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ standard was evident as he oversaw every step of the harvest. We've created a short video for you to enjoy that highlights some of the action:
Those who participated in this rare opportunity commented on the importance of Gary's hands-on involvement in the oil-sourcing process. General Manager of the Americas, Mike McLean, was thrilled to be a part of the hard work and dedication that Gary demands for his oils:
"Gary made sure that everyone got to be personally involved in each step of the harvesting process," says Mike. "From cutting trees to loading trucks, we all got to experience everything that goes into a batch of balsam fir oil."
Most important to Mike was the positive teamwork that surrounded the event: "It was amazing to feel the spirit of teamwork as distributors, corporate employees, and farm employees worked long hours in cold, tough conditions, never once complaining or losing steam."
The harvest took place on Young Living's Balsam Farm in northern Idaho, just a few miles south of the Canadian border. Sustainable growing practices are of utmost importance to Gary, and he resolves that nature be left in better shape than when the harvest began. That's why he insists on replanting the harvested area with optimal spacing between trees to protect against forest fires and ground erosion.
The fir tree—commonly known as the Christmas tree—is renowned for its benefits to the respiratory system, as well as its ability to soothe over-worked muscles and joints. The balsam fir essential oil recently harvested is exclusive to Young Living and contains optimal levels of four important constituents: alpha pineane, beta pineane, camphene, and limonene, which give it many of its soothing characteristics.
Balsam fir lends its soothing qualities to a variety of Young Living products, such as:
Balsam Fir Essential Oil ~ Item No. 3314 5 ml
Balsam Fir Essential Oil ~ Item No. 3316 15 ml
Believe™ Essential Oil Blend ~ Item No. 3310 10 ml

Legacy™ Essential Oil Blend ~ Item No. 3577 15 ml

Sacred Mountain™ Bar Soap ~ Item No. 3671
The balsam fir essential oil harvested at this event has already been tested, bottled, and we are happy to announce that products containing balsam fir are back online and in stock!
Gary's hands-on approach during this and other harvests in Ecuador, France, and Utah is what sets Young Living apart from everyone else. Not only do we ensure that the purest, most potent essential oils are harvested and distilled on our own farms, but our sourcing specialists also routinely visit our suppliers to share their expert knowledge. This continued commitment to quality ensures Young Living’s status as the world leader in essential oils.

21 Reasons to Drink NingXia Red Daily
The wolfberry, a perennial plant (member of the solanacea family of plants), grows to a height of 3 to 5 feet. The fruit is very red, juicy, and oblong when ripe. Its health benefits have been known and used for thousands of years.
The fruit contains 19 amino acids and over 20 trace minerals (including germanium, a mineral rarely found in food) The wolfberry has more protein than whole wheat. This alone sets the wolfberry apart as a major source of phyto-nutrients.
Considered a national treasure, the Ningxia Wolfberry is grown near inner Mongolia. This berry has been extolled in folk medicine for thousands of years. Translated from ancient texts, Shen Nung Ben Tsao (475 BC), stated "Wolfberry benefits range from replenishing vital health to fortifying and restoring vital organs." A physician's handbook from the Ming Dynasty stated, "Taking in Chinese wolfberry may regulate the flow of vital energy and strengthen the physique, which can lead to longevity." (Ref. 1)
Reasons to Drink NingXia Red Daily
1. The Ningxia Wolfberry provides ample antioxidants to strengthen the immune system. Anti-oxidants permeate cell walls and attack free radicals before they damage the DNA of the cell nucleus.
2. Antioxidants of this berry fight arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis - aiding the circulatory system - including the heart.
3. The Ningxia Wolfberry is powerful in helping the liver function properly. The liver is one of the most vital organs in the body - it's our cleansing machine.
4. Helps the eyes - cataracts, glaucoma, and visual acuity. This berry contains a complete array of antioxidant carotenoids including beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. In fact the Ningxia Wolfberry has the highest source of carotenoids in all known foods. Beta-carotene is best known as a nutrient for the retina. (Ref. 2)
5. Cancer Help. The main constituent of the wolfberry is Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharide (LBP), and according to studies in China, LBP helps cancer patients rebuild their white blood cell count, enhancing phagocytes and the activity of natural killer cells which bind to cancerous cells, as well as improving major classes of T-cells. "...increase the antibody reaction to the T cell-antigen." (Ref. 3)
6. More Cancer Help. Acetone extract from the Ningxia Wolfberry inhibits gene mutation, Some scientists say the fruit is a good supplement to prevent liver cancer. (Ref. 4) Also, studies show objective regression of cancer in patients with malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and others. Results also indicated LBP may be used as an adjuvant in the biotherapy of cancer. (Ref. 5)
7. Minerals and vitamins act as enzymes and co-factors in the digestion process.
8. Studies on seniors in China produced amazing results (many people live beyond 100 years of age in wolfberry growing areas). Increases in Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) the hemoglobin were found in serum in all participants. In other words wolfberry ".......may help slow the aging process."
9. Protects against the free radical attack on mitochondrial DNA - our energy furnaces inside each cell. Antioxidants fight against mitochondrial destabilization.
10. Helps lower blood sugar--and in many tests at least stabilizes blood sugar.
11. It is important that cell walls maintain their malleability for nutrients to cross this membrane. The free radical scavengers found in the Ningxia Wolfberry strengthen the cell wall and support efficient transport of flavonoid nutrients in the cell and waste products out of the cell.
12. Strengthens the brains neuro-transmitters against pervasive fee radical activity, thus fighting against dementia and other forms of memory loss.
13. Promotes a sense of well-being, and has had noticeable results in tests and anxiety. The tissues of the body (including the brain) are assisted in avoiding oxidative stress.
14. Has a B-Vitamin complex essential to the body. In addition these vitamins are vital for converting food to energy.
15. Cells need to communicate, especially those in the brain and nervous system. The synaptic responses are protected and fortified by the same polyphenols (flavonoids) that this berry uses to protect itself.
16. Provides powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial action because it contains solavetivone (an amino acid). Properties in the food fight viruses - it's anti-viral.
17. Reduces pain caused by inflammation because the berry contains Beta-Sitosteral, a remarkable anti-inflammatory.
18. The Ningxia Wolfberry is high in protein (more than whole wheat), an essential cellular building block.
19. The Ningxia Wolfberry, unlike most berries, contains natural vitamin E--a restorative antioxidant with too many health benefits to list here.
20. A healthier romantic life. The wolfberry increases overall health performance, including sexual response. One herbalist wrote, "Wolfberry can make a young wolf out of an old man."
21. This berry dubbed "A complete body health motivator" has many unique polysaccharides, not found in any plant on the planet.

Antioxidants vs. Free Radicals
Our bodies are bombarded daily by the damaging effects of free radicals that are created through normal metabolic functions. In fact, Dr. Bruce Ames of the University of California at Berkley estimates that the DNA of each of our cells is attacked by free radicals over 10,000 times per day. Added to that is the polluted environment we inhabit in today's world, which increases the scope of the problem.
Uninterrupted, free radicals can wreak havoc with DNA, enzymes, and cells. Many chronic conditions - including aging - are believed to result from accumulated damage caused by free radicals. Fortunately, antioxidants have proven an effective weapon against them. Antioxidants help to neutralize the effects of free radicals, allowing the body to restore itself to the proper balance that leads to health and well-being.
To help you combat the damaging effects of free radicals, simply take a single serving (one ounce) of NingXia Red, which supplies 267 percent of the Daily Value of antioxidant vitamin C along with a host of other nutrients. What a delicious way to protect your health!
