In our modern world, glands like our thyroid and adrenals have to work ever harder to keep us healthy, and we want to support them properly! Endoflex oil blend is a great way to do just that.
WHAT IS ENDOFLEX? Endoflex is a blend of the following oils:
- Spearmint - A rocket pack for your metabolism while supporting your nervous system to bring beautiful balance.
- Sage - Commonly used for purification and release of the negativity that wears us down from the inside - physically and emotionally
- Geranium - Say "I love you" to your hormones, liver, and pancreas with this beautiful, floral oil that is great for the endocrine system.
- Myrtle - You say "Thyroid?" I say, "Myrtle!" Pair them together and watch the beautiful friendship begin.
- German Chamomile - Calming to your system and especially supportive of healthy liver function.
- Nutmeg - The star of adrenal support. Like a car that can't shift into the next gear, when our adrenals are worn out, we will sputter and find no oomph to continue moving forward.
- Sesame Seed Oil - Rich in Vitamin E and nourishing to the skin and body.
WHAT DOES IT DO? Endoflex supports healthy thyroid function, hormones, metabolism, and adrenals - the entire endocrine system! This oil blend will help all of these pieces of your puzzle come together as you gradually work your way to a place of more energy that comes from within. By providing balance to this body system, Endoflex gives vital support to the pituitary and pineal glands as well as the parathyroid, thymus and adrenal glands. Endoflex essential oil can help support your body's natural metabolic function which could in turn aid in shedding some extra pounds.
This blend is often very beneficial for teens and kids who are developing hormonally because today's environment and habits put early strain on these areas of their health.
DAILY HABITS WITH ENDOFLEX
- Add one drop of EndoFlex Vitality to your daily Ningxia Red or drop under your tongue daily for endocrine system support. (This is the best, most effective way to really support your hormones!) I like a drop or two of Endoflex Vitality in my soda water - YUMMY!
- Dilute in a roller and apply daily over the thyroid (front of the throat), kidneys and adrenals (lower back), and bottom of the feet 1-2 times a day (or more for more acute support!). For a 10mL roller do 40-50 drops Endoflex and fill with a carrier of choice.
- Ladies, pair with Progessence Plus for a dynamic duo of hormone support! For the guys, pair with Shutran!
DIFFUSE: Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations for hormone support with Endoflex!
- Gentle Blossoms: 3 drops Roman Chamomile + 4 drops Endoflex + 2 drops Grapefruit
- Lovely: 4 drops Endoflex + 4 drops Citrus Fresh + 3 drops Frankincense
- Love Potion: 4 drops Bergamot + 3 drops Endoflex + 3 drops Vetiver

LEMON essential oil – for the home and our health
SLIQUE ESSENCE blend – combat those sugar cravings

MASTER FORMULA – our favorite multivitamin (transfer your multivitamin to YL brand!)
LIFE 9 PROBIOTIC – for happy bellies (and happy brains too) Want to know more about Life 9?
CLEANSING TRIO – A gentle and effective detox (Check out all the goodness of the Cleansing Trio here)
LEMON Essential Oil:
Versatile, bright and joyful. That's how we would describe this starter kit oil! Lemon essential oil benefits skin and hair as much as its aroma enhances your environment and supports your mood. This best selling oil can be used in so many ways: Mix it with your cleaning products, use it during your nighttime skin care routine, or add a drop to your shampoo & conditioner for a great scent. One of the main ways we are using it this month though, is for a gentle system reset and detox by adding it to our water each morning.
SLIQUE ESSENCE
This incredible blend combines Grapefruit, Tangerine, Lemon, Spearmint, and Ocotea with stevia extract in a unique blend that supports healthy weight management goals. These ingredients work together to help control hunger, especially when used in conjunction with Slique Tea or the Slique Kit. The pleasant citrus combination of grapefruit, tangerine and lemon essential oils adds a flavorful and uplifting element to any day with the added support of spearmint that may help with digestion. I'm using this blend in my water to support my weight goals, digestion, and overall health.
ENVISION essential oil blend
A blend of Black Spruce, Geranium, Orange, Lavender, Sage and Rose essential oils, the Envision blend stimulates feelings of creativity and resourcefulness, encouraging renewed faith in the future and the strength necessary to achieve your dreams. Use Envision to help inspire clarity and vision when creating goals. Add a drop to your palms, rub them together, and hold them to your nose to inhale deeply. As you inhale, remember your goals and set your intention on making them happen.
MASTER FORMULA
Master Formula is a full-spectrum, multi-nutrient complex, providing premium vitamins, minerals, and food-based nutriment to support general health and well-being. Collectively, these ingredients provide a premium, synergistic complex to support your body and overall health. This formula also contains gut flora-supporting prebiotics which make your Live 9 Probiotic even more effective! Because it includes antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other food-based nutriment, Master Formula helps neutralize free radicals in the body – something we definitely need on a daily basis!
LIFE 9 PROBIOTIC

Ditch & Switch
Master Formula
As the gatekeepers of our home, we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products for ourselves and families! Join us as we detox our homes and switch out conventional products for cleaner, greener and better options. For January, lets make an impactful change by switching out conventional multivitamins for MASTER FORMULA.
When it comes to conventional vitamins and supplements, it is incredibly difficult to find options that aren't filled with unnecessary colorings, fillers and binders. Sadly these ingredients are almost always synthetic, wreaking havoc on the body, especially over time, disrupting hormones, causing allergies (often low-level so we barely notice) and gut disruption. And none of us want that for ourselves or our families! Especially when we are trying to do something good – like taking a multivitamin.
Sadly our current foods (even the healthiest, homegrown options!) lack a lot of vitamins and minerals that they used to contain. Whether a result of convention farming practices, long delays in shipment or a depletion of nutrients in the soil, we simply aren't getting quite enough from foods alone. Which is why a high quality multivitamin is essential. In fact, it is one of the most prescribed over the counter supplements in the US!
MASTER FORMULA is a full-spectrum multinutrient complex that provides premium vitamins, minerals, and food based nutrient to support general health and well-being. Not only is it an exceptional formula of necessary vitamins and minerals, it includes antioxidants and essential oils that further increase the absorption of all those wonderfully good things!
Why we love it!
Naturally supports general health and well-being for the body.
Contains gut flora-supporting prebiotics (SO important for gut health and for absorption of all the vitamins and minerals Master Formula contains)
Ingredients help neutralize free radicals in the body
Includes antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other food-based nutriment
Prepackaged sachets are convenient to take your vitamins on the go
NO synthetic ingredients. NO artificial ingredients. NO unnecessary fillers. AND you can bet that every ingredient used is of the highest quality – because its Young Living.
Who should use Master Formula?
Everyone 12 years and older
Individuals looking to support general health and well-being
Individuals looking for a high quality multivitamin
Individuals looking for a full spectrum multivitamin complex
Join us this month as we make this simple swap that can have a huge impact on our overall health.

Cleansing Trio Kit
The Cleansing Trio Kit contains the products you need to begin improving your health, cleaning your system and eliminating build-up waste, while specifically supporting normal liver function. Each individual supplement is augmented with herbs that are rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, fiber, and essential oils and when used in combination, these supplements will give you new energy and an improved sense of well-being! What a way to start the new year!
The Cleansing Trio includes ComforTone capsules, Essentialzyme tablets, and ICP powder. Cleansing Trio Protocol:
COMFORTONE: Take 1 capsule 3 times daily. Drink at least 64 ounces of distilled water throughout the day for best results.
ESSENTIALZYME: Take 1 dual time-release caplet 1 hour before your largest meal of the day for best results.
ICP: Use 3 times daily. Mix 2 rounded teaspoons with at least 8 oz of juice or water. Drink immediately as this product tends to thicken quickly when added to liquid. Tastes best in carrot juice apple juice, or smoothies.
COMFORTONE
This supplement combines herbs and essential oils that aid in eliminating waste in the colon, allowing it to function optimally. It promotes consistent and easy bowel movements that can relieve bowel movements that can relieve hemorrhoids, bloating, and other symptoms of constipation.
Comfortone also contains herbs and essential oils that have been shown to soothe the colon along with Psyllium, Bentonite Clay, and Diatomaceous Earth which work as magnets to toxins to then carry them out of the body.
- Comfortone works best paired with ICP and EssentialZyme, which break down and scrub the colon so the Comfortone can move the waste out.
- Comfortone is usually recommended to be used temporarily for cleanses and to get the body functioning normally and then stopped so the body learns to stimulate bowel movements on its own.
ESSENTIALZYME
EssentialZyme is a bilayered, multienzyme complex caplet specially formulated to support and balance digestive health and to stimulate overall enzyme activity to combat the modern diet. Essentialzyme contains tarragon, peppermint, anise, fennel, and clove essential oils to improve overall enzyme activity, and support healthy pancreatic function.
Why do we need enzymes?? Enzymes are protein molecules that are manufactured by all plant and animal cells and are required for our cells to function. Enzymes support all systems in the body.
Digestion – enzymes break down food so that the body can digest it.
Metabolism – enzymes help properly metabolize the food so that the body can use the nutrients from the food.
Respiration – enzymes assist in getting oxygen where it is needed.
Nutrient absorption and transportation – enzymes help the nutrients get to where they are needed.
Detoxification – enzymes keep toxic sludge from building up in the body.
Muscle movement – enzymes assist in helping the brain communicate with the muscles.
Hormone production – enzymes assist in helping the body produce hormones that in turn keep the body functioning.
Cell repair – enzymes assist in repairing cells that can lead to youthful skin.
Cell division – enzymes help keep cell division at a normal, healthy rate.
ICP
ICP helps keep your colon clean with an advanced mix of fibers that scour out residues. A healthy digestive system is important for the proper functioning of all other systems because the digestive absorbs all the nutrients that are used throughout the body. And we definitely want to make sure we are getting all those nutrients, especially when we are putting so much effort into eating clean, healthy and seasonally!
- ICP provides ingredients such as psyllium, oat bran, and flax and fennel seeds to form a combination of soluble and insoluble fibers.
- Enhanced with a special blend of essential oils, the fibers work to decrease the buildup of wastes, improve nutrient absorption and help maintain a healthy heart.
- ICP provides two grams of dietary fiber, one gram of soluble fiber, and one gram of insoluble fiber per serving.
- ICP works best when paired with Comfortone to get the bowels moving and EssentiaZyme to break down what is caked and hardened in the colon.
Join us this month as we use the Cleansing Trio Kit to gently detox and cleanse and reset for the new year!

- Decyl glucoside - Comparable to other Alkyl Polyglucoside Surfactants, decyl glucoside is obtained from 100% renewable vegetable origin. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel assessed the safety of 10 alkyl glucosides including decal glucoside as used in cosmetics and concluded these ingredients are safe in the present practices of use and concentration when formulated, and are non-irritating. Since glucoside hydrolyses in human skin are likely to break down tase ingredients to release their respective fatty acids and glucose, the Panel also reviewed CIR reports on the safety of fatty alcohols and were able to extrapolate data from those previous reports to support safety. Decyl glucoside is a gentle cleanser, delicate enough even for the delicate skin on fruits, such as berries and cherry tomatoes, which is why it used in the Thieves Fruit & Veggie Spray and Thieves Fruit & Veggie Soak too.
- Sodium Lauroyl lactylate - A salt derived from the Laurie acid ester of lactyl lactate (or milk and coconut oil) and is traditionally used as a food emulsifier, although it is seen in cosmetics and personal care products because of its ability, as a lactylate, to penetrate skin easily, providing "residual moisturizaion", extended fragrance release, and enhanced delivery of actives. Lauric acid is known for its moisturizing abilities, and is also recognized as a acne-fighter, thanks to its antimicrobial properties. Sodium Lauroyl lactylate is used as in ingredient in shapes, face and body washes, and other foaming cleansers.
- Lauroyl glucoside and caprylyl glucoside - a safer alternative to regular harsh surfactants, which are typically used in cleansers to make the formula foam up. Also a "surfactant (cleanser)," this one is formed in the lab by blending a mixtures of alcohols with some simple sugars. The raw materials come from vegetables or coconut, and the resulting ingredient has a "zero" hazard rating on the Skin Deep Database.
- Sodium oleate - I honestly had a difficult time finding information on this one that was not extremely scientific and technical and mixed with other ingredients. EWG rates it very low and lists 18 studies showing it to be of low concern on several fronts like estrogenic and mutagenic effects.
- Sodium sesquicarbonate - An A rating on EWG, this ingredient is a double salt of sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate, and has a needle-like crystal structure. However, the term is also applied to an equimolar mixture of those two salts, with whatever water of hydration the sodium carbonate includes, supplied as a powder.

- Ammonium C12-15 Pareth Sulfate - Evidence of chronic aquatic toxicity, damage to DNA, respiratory effects
- Lauramidopropylamine Oxide - Evidence of respiratory effects, skin irritation/allergies/damage, damage to vision
- DMDM Hydantion (aka formaldehyde) - Evidence of cancer, skin irritation/allergies/damage, general systemic or organ effects
- Sodium Bisulfate - Evidence of damage to vision
- Methylchoroisonthiazolinone - Evidence of acute aquatic toxicity, skin irrigation/allergies/damage

- Water - Obviously some amount of water is necessary to make a liquid.
- Decyl glucoside - A plant derived nonionic surfactant (cleaning agent) that biodegrades easily. EWG Score - 1
- Sodium oleate - Derived from olive oil, and ingredient that helps control suds/foaminess. Biodegradable with a EWG Score - 2
- Glycerin - Used to stabilize the natural cleaning enzymes. EWG Score - 2
- Caprylyl glucoside - Another plant-derived surfactant that biodegrades easily. EWG Score - 1
- Lauryl glucoside - Another plant-derived surfactant that biodegrades easily. EWG Score - 1
- Sodium chloride - that would be simple table salt. It affects the viscosity/thickness of the liquid.
- Sodium gluconate - A plant-derived anionic surfactant that biodegrades easily. EWG Score - 1
- Carboxymethyl cellulose - a plant-derived thickener and stabilizer. EWG Score - 1
- Alpha-amaylase, Protease, Lipase - These are all natural enzymes, which are very effective at breaking down organic particles that make up the stains and dirtiness on your clothes. Without enzymes, your clothes won't be getting nearly as clean. These enzymes are 100% naturally-derived and are completely biodegradable.
- Essential Oils - Jade Lemon, Bergamot, Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus radiata, and Rosemary essential oils. All beautiful, purer-than-pure Young Living essential oils that were carefully chose for their cleansing and purifying properties. Also, they smell unbelievable DELICIOUS.
- Optical brighteners - These are chemical ingredients that are added to most laundry detergents. They reject light in a way that makes the clothes appear brighter and whiter. Its basically an optical illusion, that comes at a price. Optical brighteners can survive the wastewater treatment plants and make their way into lakes and streams, polluting the water and causing harm to algae and fish, where they bioaccumulate. Optical brighteners may also case skin irritation and an allergic response in some people.
- Sodium laurel sulphate (SLS) - You've probably heard of this ingredient before, as so many companies are now claiming their products are free of this potential carcinogenic ingredient. In my research of ingredients in other supposedly "natural" laundry detergents, I found SLS in MANY of them. They claim that it is plant-derived and therefore safe, but the laws are so loose on what can be considered bio-based, that I don't know if this is trustworthy or not. If you try to avoid SLS in your home, I highly recommend Thieves instead.
- Artificial fragrance - Of course, the only fragrance in Thieves Laundry Soap is Thieves essential oil and other pure essential oils from Young Living. Synthetic fragrances can contain hundreds of chemical with unknown toxicity and potential carcinogens.
- Water softeners - I noticed that the Thieves Laundry Soap doesn't contain any mineral-based water softeners. So, if you have a moderately to significantly hard water, you probably want to add a simple water softener like Borax or vinegar to prevent mineral buildup. It's cheap, effective, and totally natural.

- Fragrance: Manufactures combine a number of chemicals to product a fragrance - so you'll believe your clothes are clean because they smell clean - and they don't have to list those chemicals on the label because of trade protection. Some of these chemicals can be very toxic, but we don't really know what we're really being exposed to!
- Cleaning Agents (surfactants): These are included in the formula to help product to clean better. Examples include chemicals like
- quaternium-15 - known to release formaldehyde, a known carcinogen and used to embalm bodies
- diethanolamine - linked with skin and eye irrational and possibly liver problems
- nonlphneol ethoxylate or NPE - toxic to nerves, irritating to skin, potential hormone disruptor, toxic to aquatic life
- linear alkyl benzene sulfates or LAS - irritating to skin and eyes and toxic to aquatic life. Benzene on its own is a carcinogen
- petroleum distillates - linked to cancer and lung damage.
- Stabilizers: These chemicals help stabilize the formula, so that it lasts longer on the shelf. Examples include polyalkylene oxide or ethylene oxide, which are linked with eye and lung irritation, and even dermatitis. And yet we wonder why we can't clear up these lingering skin issues.
- Bleach: Bleach may be used separately or may be included in the detergent itself. It's know to irrigate skin, eyes, and lungs, and when it mixes with wastewater, it can form toxic organic compounds that have been linked with respiratory issues, liver, and kidney damage.
- 1,4 dioxane: This is a chemical by-product of detergent manufacturing. In independent tests, Women's Voices for Earth found 90 ppm (parts per million) in Tide Free & Gentle and 63 ppm in Regular Tide. They helped increase awareness, and Proctor & Gamble agreed to reformulate to reduce levels below 25 ppm. Future tests should show whether they made good on that promise. Past history is not looking good - I don't have a lot of confidence in the progress being made here.
- Brighteners: You'll find these in detergents advertising their "brighting" powers. Brighter whites! Brighter colors! What's causing all this brightness? Chemicals that actually remain on the clothes to absorb UV light and help clothes "appear" brighter. We're talking things like naphthotriazolystilbenes (linked with developmental and reproductive effects), benzoxazolyl, diaminostilbene, disulfonate, and more. Since these remain on the clothes, they are likely to come into contact with skin.
- Phosphates & EDTA: Manufacturers use these to make detergents more effective in hard water, and to help prevent dirt from settling back on clothes when they're washing. These chemicals have long been associated with environmental damage, particularly in our streams and waterways. They cause algae blooms that damage ecosystems. Many detergents have eliminated these, but they're often using ethylene diamine tetraacetic act (EDTA) in its place, which does not readily biodegrade, and has been found to be toxic in animal studies.
