DIY Stress Recovery Serum

It's no secret that emotional and psychological stress can wreak physical havoc on the body. We've all heard of the 'mind body connection' and probably have our own stories of how something has gone downhill physically during times of stress. Even current scientific has connected stress to physical ailments. And lately stress seems to be the theme of the world... for us, for our kids, for our circumstances...

So, what do we do about it? We find ways to effectively process stress and we support our bodies DAILY with supplements, high quality nutrition and essential oils. And this simple DIY is one that you will want to always keep on hand for daily adrenal support.

DIY Stress Recovery Serum (aka daily love for your adrenals)
The adrenal glands are located just above the kidneys and are known for the 'fight or flight' response.. which is great if we're running from a lion. But constant stress of daily life keeps them on overdrive! Give them some love and keep them going strong. Apply over the lower back every morning and before bed each evening.

  • 4 oz glass dropper bottle
  • Castor Oil (see note below)
  • 25 drops Nutmeg
  • 20 drops Clove
  • 20 drops Frankincense
  • 20 drops Rosemary
NOTE: You can use any carrier oil, but castor oil is specifically chosen as the fatty acids in castor oil allow the essential oils to be easily absorbed through he skin. High quality, cold-pressed castor oil can help your body to detoxify and improve circulation.

Let's take a quick look at the oils in the serum...

  • Nutmeg - THE essential oil for adrenal support, Nutmeg helps process and balance feelings of Exhaustion - which makes perfect sense. When our stress response system is on overdrive, how could we feel anything BUT exhausted? And when we are exhausted we are more prone to injury and illness.
  • Frankincense - is a versatile oil that supports immunity, helps the body process inflammation and works as an antioxidant in the body. Frankincense has long been used for its powerful health-supporting properties, and has been used 'to treat every conceivable ill known to man.'
  • Clove - THE Essential oil for powerful antioxidant support. Clove has an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value of 1,078,700 (read: Clove is able to absorb and mitigate a LOT of free radicals. It's ability to do so is basically OFF the charts.) Why antioxidants? Because they help boost immunity and allow the body to repair cellular damage caused by the environment, injury and - you guessed it - stress!
  • Rosemary - one of the components of the 'Four Thieves Vinegar' and the Thieves essential oil blend. Rosemary has wonderful cleansing properties, supports the liver and helps support healthy blood pressure levels, which all connect to the adrenals through the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-axis).
Use this adrenal serum daily over the lower back in the morning and before bedtime for stress recovery.

Hello! I'm Jennifer Meckel

 

I am very passionate about helping you achieve the best YOU that you can be!


A little about myself. I live in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. I am married to a wonderful and supportive man named Sean since 2003 - all wonderful years. We have two smart and sassy daughters, Emmy is 10 and in 4th grade in the Mandarin Immersion program and Lilly is 6 and in kindergarten. I like to paper craft and make my own cards, I like to sew (though don’t have much time for that lately) and I just returned to belly dancing now that Lilly is getting bigger.


I’ve been using essential oils and infused products for since October 2015 and absolutely love this lifestyle and how it makes me and my family feel. I started my oily journey after sitting next to another mom at a play date.  We started talking about my infertility issues, and she suggested I try Young Living’s essential oils to support my hormones.  After a year of intentionally exercising, eating better, and using oils to support my hormones and emotions, I became pregnant with Lilly, right before my first time attending the International YL Convention in Salt Lake City in 2016. There is so much more to tell about this story, and I’m open and willing to share with you, if you are interested.


So, tell me more about yourself!  Tell me about the season of life you are in now. Tell me about your family. 


In health, wellness, and abundance!
