En-R-Gee Essential Oil Spotlight - Oct 2023

En-R-Gee Essential Oil Spotlight


En-R-Gee in a bottle! This stimulating blend combines Rosemary, Juniper, Lemongrass, Nutmeg, Balsam Fir, Clove, and Black Pepper to keep you invigorated and energized throughout your day.

Just a Drop of En-R-Gee

  • Has a lively, inspiring, powerful aroma that's a great way to start the day
  • The spicy-pine aroma hat can give you that natural boost when you need it most
  • Works as an aromatic pick-me-up in the afternoon
  • Helps pull us up from emotional exhaustion
  • Works well with other adrenal supporting oils like Nutmeg
En-R-Gee is a daily favorite for many reasons, but it is especially a favorite during times of stress. (Because stress and energy just might be related…) En-R-Gee has oils that are alerting and stimulating, help the physical body rebalance our adrenals, and help us release emotions that are weighing us down!

En-R-Gee & the Adrenals

The adrenal glands are small organs that sit on top of the kidneys. They maintain and boost our energy, kind of like a car shifting into first, second, and third gear as we go about our day. They also help our body survive during times of stress. Since many of us live in a state of constant stress, they wear down quickly.

Our adrenal glands aren't meant to always be firing. They are there to jump in when needed and not be running the whole show. But excessive caffeine, lack of sleep, emotional stress, demanding schedules, hormonal imbalance, diet, alcohol abuse, and always pushing ourselves to the max can damage the adrenals to cause them to fatigue. This pushes us into a ‘survival mode' both physically and emotionally.

  • Are you in survival mode?
  • Are you only giving yourself the leftovers?
  • Do you put off taking care of your body and mind?
  • Do you only pour out without nourishing yourself?
So many people are in survival mode. Hormones are out of whack and emotions are bottled up. Despite caring for those around them, they feel isolated. En-R-Gee can help us physically restore and nourish our adrenal system, release the emotion of isolation, and help instill a sense of connectedness.

  • Put some En-R-Gee on your wrists and in the diffuser while you journal or internally process. Write about what seems to zap the energy right out of you. Can you pinpoint the roots of what makes you exhausted, overwhelmed, full of dread, or frustrated about your day?
  • Next, start to write about the kind of person you dream of being. The attitudes, the priorities, the joy, whatever it is. Visualize it. 
  • Continue daily, even if you don't get to journal. You can process this internally 24/7, the body knows how to work with whatever you give it!
We use these oils daily and in conjunction with supplements and good health habits. Oils are not a one time "quick fix"! Using them daily and consistently is when you will be able to see support and results!

At a Glance Usage Guide
Want the cliff notes version of which eucalyptus oil to use? We've got you covered!

  • Wanting some respiratory TLC → Any of them!
  • Cleaning and laundry needs → Any variety, though we like Eucalyptus Radiata for its crisp, clean aroma

  • Little ones need some help → SniffleEase or Eucalyptus Blue

  • Needing a little immune support → Eucalyptus Radiata
En-R-Gee & Emotions

En-R-Gee is also great for the emotion of Exhaustion – for feeling like you just don't have the oomph to do the things you really want to do. En-R-Gee can be a wonderful tool for helping our bodies catch up with what our minds and hearts want to do!

Every single one of the oils in this blend contain stimulating compounds to help energize our cells and wake them up! AND a couple are high in sesquiterpenes, which help with focus and clarity. So if you are a go-getter, need more balance and energy, En-R-Gee can help you stay emotionally on track! 

Key Ingredients

  • Idaho Balsam Fir - This woodsy, grounding oil has an empowering aroma that calms the mind and body to help us focus on what truly matters and work towards our goals
  • Nutmeg, Clove and Black Pepper - These spice oils have an energizing aroma that helps us stay alert and focused, plus these oils are helpful to the adrenal system which is often on overload when we are exhausted! Clove is especially high in antioxidants, which help to decrease physical damage to cells that often leaves us with no energy reserves.
  • Rosemary - This herbaceous oil is soothing to our emotions and stimulating to our minds and bodies so that we can stay on track emotionally and find balance when we need that extra get-up-and-go. Rosemary is also very soothing to the cardiovascular system!

Key Constituents
Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

  • Alpha-pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown alpha-pinene to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind.
  • Eucalyptol - eucalyptol has a distinctive, fresh aroma that has a calming effect on the user when applied in aromatherapy. Research shows that eucalyptol may have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial and neuroprotective effects. It may also act as a bronchodilator, supporting airway opening. 
  • Camphor - known for its medicinal aroma, camphor has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries for its cleansing properties and was used as a fumigant during the plague era. This constituent may provide antibacterial anti-inflammatory and skin supporting properties.

Eucalyptus Essential Oil Spotlight - Oct 2023

Eucalyptus Essential Oil Spotlight


Eucalyptus is a household staple for sure! This oil has a fresh, invigorating scent that is wonderful for respiratory support and also promotes health, well-being, and purification. Eucalyptus oil is also a great choice for sore muscles and is found in the OrthoEase and OrthoSport massage oils. It is also a cleansing oil and is great for laundry + cleaning and is a component of the Inner Defense capsules (amazing for immune support!)  and the Thieves essential oil blend (our favorite for just about everything).

Just a Drop of Eucalyptus

  • Has a bold, invigorating aroma that supports the airways
  • Creates a refreshing breathing experience when inhaled
  • Promotes a peaceful environment at bedtime
  • Wonderful for supporting airways during cold weather and before/during exercise
  • Great for tense and tired muscles
  • Cleansing and refreshing, wonderful addition to cleaning DIYs 
  • Creates a spa-like experience when used aromatically
  • Creates a cooling and soothing sensation when applied topically
What's the Difference?

There are different Eucalyptus oils because there are many different varieties of the Eucalyptus plant, more than 700 species! There are three varieties of eucalyptus essential oil available, and each variety is steam distilled individually, using the leaves of the plant. These are Eucalyptus BlueEucalyptus Globulus, and Eucalyptus Radiata, and while interchangeable for most needs, they are actually quite different from each other.

  • Eucalyptus Blue is grown in Ecuador and is used by natives for repelling insects and covering wounds. It has a very balanced chemistry and is the only Eucalyptus variety that does not cause an allergic reaction in individuals who have a eucalyptol allergy. Eucalyptus blue has a very herbaceous and spicy aroma which is great for respiratory support. It is found in the Breathe Again roll-on.
  • Eucalyptus Globulus is grown in China and is wonderful for respiratory support and soothing sore muscles. This variety of eucalyptus has the highest amount of 1.8 cineole (eucalyptol), making it wonderful for respiratory support. It has a bold and rich aroma and is found in the OrthoEase and OrthoSport massage oils, the Breathe Again roll-on, and the oil blend RC (which stands for Respiratory Congestion).
  • Eucalyptus Radiata is grown in Australia and has a striking, citrusy scent. This species of Eucalyptus has been treasured in folk medicine for centuries and used by natives for many immune supporting purposes. A very large flowering tree in the myrtle family, Eucalyptus radiata produces fragrant leaves and is also known informally as narrow-leaved peppermint. Eucalyptol is the constituent that gives Eucalyptus Radiata its camphorous aroma and incredible respiratory support properties!
At a Glance Usage Guide
Want the cliff notes version of which eucalyptus oil to use? We've got you covered!

  • Wanting some respiratory TLC → Any of them!
  • Cleaning and laundry needs → Any variety, though we like Eucalyptus Radiata for its crisp, clean aroma
  • Creating a spa-like atmosphere → Eucalyptus Blue
  • Little ones need some help → SniffleEase or Eucalyptus Blue
  • Soothing muscles and joints → Eucalyptus Globulus
  • Needing a little immune support → Eucalyptus Radiata
Using Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Eucalyptus is wonderful to diffuse and pairs well with Lavender, Cedarwood, Copaiba, and Pine oils (it's great with Lavender to create an at-home spa!). You can also add Eucalyptus to your laundry, wool dryer balls, and linen sprays. Eucalyptus is wonderful for DIY chest rubs and epsom salts baths when your immune or respiratory systems need a little TLC. 

Eucalyptus and Children

Eucalyptus in all its varieties, like Peppermint, can be a warming oil with a strong or "spicy" smell. So with little ones, we like to start using it on their feet diluted with your favorite carrier oil. The reflex point on the bottom of the feet to support the lungs is the large pad up under their toes. This is a great way to support their little respiratory systems!

If you want a great, ready-to-go Eucalyptus product for littles, Young Living also carries a special pre-diluted blend of coconut oil and Eucalyptus Blue along with other beneficial oils called SniffleEase that we love.

Daily Habits with Eucalyptus (any variety)

Use this oil to help support the airways during the cold weather! Dilute with coconut oil or V-6 Vegetable Complex and apply to the chest as desired. This is a great thing to do before a winter workout!

Soothe tired muscles with a simple massage oil - mix a few drops of Eucalyptus Radiata with carrier and massage onto tense areas. You can also add Rosemary and/or Lavender!

Make this Eucalyptus Lavender Soak for a little self care and to give tense or tired muscles some TLC:

Olive Wood Massage Tool

This handmade olive wood massaging tool was sustainably crafted by local artisans using olive tree branches in Bethlehem. Use it with Eucalyptus Globulus (another freebie) and V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex, then use the handheld massage tool to pinpoint pressure points and soothe those tired muscles. This is also wonderful with Ortho Ease Massage Oil.

The Holy Land Handicraft Cooperative in Bethlehem provides fair-trade wages and stable employment to those in economically unstable circumstances. But as travel restrictions began to take place in 2020, many artisan groups shut down due to the lack of work.

These orders from Young Living provided much-needed relief in the mist of the economic downturn. Many workshops have reopened, reviving the area and its artisans. Creating and selling unique olive wood products enables these families to stay in their homeland, earn a living, and provide opportunities for their children.

Stress Away Essential Oil Spotlight - Sept 2023

Stress Away Essential Oil 

Blend Spotlight


Stress Away is your vacation in a bottle - convenient and ready to go with you to the grocery store, school, work, or wherever you need to pretend you're in a beach chair sipping something cold and watching the waves!

Studies show that stress is at the root of more health problems and diseases than we realize and learning to use tools that help us to relax and release negative emotions increases our daily quality of life. Our relationships, future, and health depend on it.

Stress Away at a Glance
  • Has a soothing, exotic aroma
  • Can be diffused or enjoyed aromatically to create a luxurious, spa-like ambiance at home
  • Makes a great addition to your favorite skin, hair, and body care products
  • Has a well-rounded and relaxing aroma, making it great to use as a personal fragrance
Background

Stress Away, a D. Gary Young proprietary blend, brings aromas from around the world to create an on-the-go getaway just for you. It's this distinct mix of vanilla and lime that gives Stress Away its unique and exotic aroma. Stress Away also includes Copaiba, which has a history of beneficial properties in topical application when applied to tired muscles; Lavender, with its peaceful, and calming scent that comes from a few of Young Living's farms located in Utah, Idaho, and France; and Cedarwood, known for its comforting, calming aroma.

Stress Away essential oil blend features Copaiba, Lime, Cedarwood, Vanilla, Ocotea, and Lavender for an exotic aroma used for exactly for what the name says and for achieving a happy and positive day.

  • Copaiba - an oleoresin like Frankincense, this oil has been used in folk medicine for years for its ability to support the body's response to inflammation and injury, to soothe and protect the skin, and to calm the nervous system.
  • Lime - known in folklore for its ability to cleanse and renew the spirit, Lime is stimulating to the mind and supports the immune system.
  • Cedarwood - high in sesquiterpenes, this oil helps stipulate the limbic center of the brain (where emotions and memory are processed and stored), supports focus, cognition and memory, stabilizing and grounding. 
  • Vanilla - an oleoresin like Frankincense and Copaiba, Vanilla supports a calm, serene environment, helps elevate mood and stimulate joyful memories, and may help relieve nervous tension.
  • Ocotea - an oil from the cinnamon family, Ocotea supports feelings of completeness, peace and tranquility.
  • Lavender - well known for its ability to calm and soothe, Lavender also helps support focus and mental clarity.
Key Consituents

Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them sprecic health-supporting properties.

  • Beta-caryophyllene - has a unique ability to bind with CB2 receptors which may allow it to support the body's response to inflammation and infection as well as calm the nervous system during times of anxiety and pain. 
  • Alpha-humulene - a versatile terpene constituent that may have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor effects
  • Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
  • Linalool - may support the body during injury and/or sickness and help relieve stress 
Stress Away & Emotions

Stress Away has such a gentle, loving aroma that can be used anytime you need a little extra peace and tranquility. Copaiba and Cedarwood specifically are supportive for releasing stress and tension, and the other oils in this blend have very specific ways to support the body physically and emotionally during times of stress!

Info from Courtney Crtiz: 
  • Lime - Known for its ability to uplift, calm, relieve anxious feelings, and even cleanse the liver...which just might be struggling with lots of, you guessed it, stress, anger, criticism.
  • Copaiba - Powerful in its strength to reduce inflammation. What does stress cause? Inflammation. The root of boatloads of our illness and pain.
  • Cedarwood - Grounding and promoting rest and peace, this is one we can use to reset our patterns and ruts. Maybe the ones causing us stress because the same repeated actions won't change the situation?
  • Ocotea - What do we do when we're stressed? Eat, compensate, raise our blood sugar levels so we feel a high? But our friend here helps us to keep that balanced and in check for a more even response.
  • Lavender - We've discussed this Wonder Woman disguised in Grandma's cap. She is literally doing it all, working on that blood pressure, the self-loathing, the anxiousness.
  • Vanilla - Just yum. And also known for its own ability to support mental health!

Fall Wellness Box - Sept 2023

Fall Wellness Box

I don't know about you, but I need an easy button! One of my favorites is known as the Fall Wellness Box. Simply choose an area of health to work on or a lifestyle need that fits your home and family, add the products to your subscription to earn Loyalty Rewards, and enjoy all the benefits of the amazing products you've chosen showing up on your doorstep each month!

Fall is such a lovely time of year, and we want to enjoy it to its fullest. These favorite products are wonderful for this season to help us fill our home with the warm, welcoming scents of autumn, enjoy the change in weather and focus on staying above the wellness line!

What's in the Box


Thieves is the oil that's always in season, but it is especially wonderful this time of year. Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Eucalyptus and Rosemary essential oils are warm and inviting and create a calm, cozy space. Plus, they are incredible for purifying the air and supporting the immune system! Thieves and Thieves Vitality are the same essential oil, so use this incredible blend on, in and around your body all the time.

  • Add a drop to honey and warm water to make ‘Thieves Tea' (you can also add herbal tea bags).
  • Dilute with olive oil in an empty vegetable capsule and use as a dietary supplement every day for overall wellness support in the Fall season.
  • Dilute and apply to the spine and bottom of the feet morning and evening.
  • Diffuse alone or with Tangerine, Raven, Lemon, Lavender or Frankincense.

This slightly spicy citrus oil is the perfect addition to any Autumn diffuser blend! Try it with Eucalyptus, Spruce or Christmas Spirit. Bergamot is also very uplighting to the mood and emotions and is very cleansing. It may also provide cardiovascular and general wellness support when taken internally.

  • Diffuse with Cinnamon Bark, Thieves, Nutmeg and/or Orange
  • Add to DIYs and Thieves Household Cleaner.

Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil (Also comes in a Vitality option) (Spotlight)

If there were one scent to summarize Autumn it would be Cinnamon Bark! Spicy and reminiscent of baked goods, this oil is also incredibly supportive of the immune system and packs a great antioxidant punch. 

  • Dilute with a carrier oil, add to a vegetable capsule and take as a dietary supplement
  • Add to tea, hot chocolate, or coffee in place of ground cinnamon
  • Add a drop or two of Cinnamon Bark Vitality to your NingXia Red shot to create a “Hot Shot”
  • Diffuse to bring in the scents of the season! 

Like walking through a winter forest, this tree oil is a favorite for so many. It has a refreshing, grounding aroma that evokes a sense of fall and winter nostalgie. Idaho Grand Fir can be used to enhance yoga or meditation when diffused or inhaled and promotes the sensation of deeper breathing.

  • Diffuse to help cleanse the air, promote a sense of calm and invite in the scent of Autumn!
  • Add to bath salts, personal care DIYs and cologne/perfume rollers for a woodsy scent.
  • Use in all your fall crafts and projects!
Orange Essential Oil (Also comes in a Vitality option) (Spotlight)

The happiest of all the oils, Orange is a wonderful addition to ANY diffuser blend. Pair it with spice oils like Cinnamon Bark and Nutmeg, with Idaho Grand Fir and Lavender for sleep, or with Thieves for a great everyday blend. Orange is an incredibly uplifting oil that also inspires creativity!

  • Diffuse with Thieves, Cinnamon Bark, Nutmeg or Idaho Grand Fir.
  • Add to personal care and cleaning DIYs.
  • Add 10 drops each Orange, Bergamot and Thieves to Thieves Household Cleaner for a seasonal twist!
Nutmeg Essential Oil (Also comes in a Vitality option) (Spotlight)

Nutmeg is an essential fall scent. Warm and welcoming, grounding and so good for our immune and adrenal systems! Nutmeg helps our bodies to manage stress responses naturally - something we need all the time but especially in the fall. Diffuse this oil for a pick me up anytime of day. Pair with Cinnamon Bark, Orange, Thieves, or Idaho Grand Fir!

  • Add to diffuser blends and seasonal DIYs.
  • Dilute with olive oil and place in an empty vegetable capsule to use as a dietary supplement for immune and adrenal support. 
  • Add to NingXia Red for a spicy twist.

Ditch the powdered, sugary vitamin C packets for this nutrient-dense option! Super C Chewable supports immune, respiratory, and circulatory health through orange essential oil and a broad range of fruit powders - camu camu, acerola, cherry, rose hip and more. These ingredients provide polyphenols, carotenoids, and optimal amounts of vitamin C to promote overall health, vitality, and longevity. Because your body cannot manufacture vitamin C, you can benefit by consuming this powerful antioxidant daily!

  • Take 1 chewable tablet 3 times daily or as needed. Take daily or when additional vitamin C is desired.


Super Vitamin D is an incredible source of vitamin D that helps support bone growth and healthy muscle AND plays a key function in respiratory health, supports innate and adaptive defense mechanisms, and the immune system overall. Vitamin D is also critical for mood and hormone regulation! Young Living's Super Vitamin D is a small, dissolvable tablet infused with lemon balm extract and Lime Vitality essential oil for even more health benefits.

  • Take 2 tablets daily with food. Place in mouth and allow to dissolve for 5−10 seconds, then chew for optimal results.
  • Note: each tablet contains 1000IU of Vitamin D.

Conquer your seasonal cold the natural way! Conventional chest rubs are full of synthetic ingredients and low-quality ‘natural' ingredients. The 100% plant-based formula of Thieves Chest Rub delivers over-the-counter strength with hands-free application for quick relief you can count on. Temporarily relieve cough and congestion with soothing aromatic vapors and a powerful combination of camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus. Thieves Chest Rub helps reduce coughing and is safe to use on family members ages 2 and up. It's a medicine cabinet must-have!

  • Rub a thick layer on chest and throat up to 3 times daily or as directed by a doctor. Keep clothing loose around throat and chest so vapors can reach nose and mouth.

NingXia Gummies

NingXia Gummies

image
NingXia Red Gummies are a kids (and an adult's!) best friend - especially as we head into the cooler months! All the goodness and nutrition of NingXia Red in a super convenient dosage form!

DIY: NingXia Red Gummies

  • 1/2 cup 100% apple juice (grape or orange would work as well) 
  • 2.5 envelopes gelatin (1.5 oz) 
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup NingXia Red
  • 6 drops Orange Vitality oil (Lemon or Lime would be good too)
  • Silicone molds 
  • Optional: a few droppersful of Citrus CBD
Add juice to a small saucepan. Add gelatin, and whisk. Heat on low to medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until no longer grainy and is a thin viscosity (it will start opaque and turn clear).
Remove from heat, and whisk in honey. Whisk until mixture cools a bit; then add NingXia Red and Orange oil. (Waiting until it cools helps protect the essential oil's beneficial properties.)
Use a clean medicine dosing syringe or other small dropper to fill molds. If you have extra mixture, you can put it in a glass pan. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.

Raven Essential Oil Spotlight - Sept 2023

Raven Essential Oil Spotlight


Raven essential oil blend is like a deep breath. Ravintsara (Camphor), Eucalyptus Radiata, Lemon, Peppermint, and Wintergreen oils combine for a scent that is crisp and refreshing! Raven contains ravintsara aka camphor - the active ingredient in over the counter chest rubs. (Sadly the OTC rubs contain synthetic camphor. We however have the good stuff - real and natural!). This oil is our go-to for when we need to breathe easy.

Just a Drop of Raven

  • Has a cool, minty, eucalyptus aroma reminiscent of a spa
  • Smells uplifting and refreshing
  • Helps soothe when applied to the chest and throat
  • Helps open airways when inhaled or diffused
  • Contains ravintsara - camphor - a well known herb for respiratory congestion
One of the easiest ways to use Raven is in place of OTC chest rubs or creams. This is as simple as mixing one drop of Raven with a pump of V-6 Carrier oil! You can apply it over the throat, chest and back as well as the bottom of the feet. Raven is also great to diffuse (we love it with Thieves when things get crazy!) or add to an epsom salt bath when needed. You can also make a hot compress to place over the nasal passages, throat or chest with a hot rag and a drop of Raven. It's so easy to use!

Raven background

Ravintsara is found within the leaves and wood of the camphor tree, a large evergreen tree native to regions in southern China and Japan, as well as Taiwan, Korea, and Vietnam. Ravintsara's slightly woodsy aroma pairs perfectly with other essential oils in the mint family, including Peppermint and Wintergreen. The whole experience of the blend is sweetened with a sprinkle of Lemon, creating the sensation of walking through a crisp, quiet winter forest.

Ingredients in Raven

  • Ravintsara (camphor) - an ancient herb that has been used for centuries for respiratory needs, known in Madagascar as the 'oil that heals'.
  • Lemon - a cleansing oil high in limonene and wonderful for immune support that is also a natural mucolytic.
  • Wintergreen (methyl salicylate) - in the same family as the plant from which aspirin was derived, this oil is great for the respiratory system. Wintergreen is a key ingredient in the Thieves cough drops too!
  • Peppermint - amazing for respiratory support, lungs, and sinuses, this mint oil can help open and soothe the respiratory tract.
  • Eucalyptus Radiata - long used for respiratory and sinus support, eucalyptus is a wellness cabinet must-have.
Key Constituents

*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

  • Menthol - has been studied for its use to support healing and relief of minor aches and pains as well as airway support.
  • Eucalyptol - this constituent has far-reaching positive effects on the respiratory system, memory, and more.
  • Methyl salicylate - a naturally-occurring compound that may have analgesic properties; synthetic methyl-salicylate is commonly used in many over the counter preparations for minor aches and pains. 
Raven & Emotions

Did you know that ancient Chinese and Greek medicine practices point to the lungs as being the place where Sadness and Grief are stored? Everyday life is full of highs and lows, and whether chronic or acute, grief can create physical feelings in our chests. And let's face it - there is a lot to grieve as we go through life! When we are grieving we both physically and emotionally feel like we have very little "room to breathe". Conversely, when we feel excited, self-assured, and happy our chest feels light and puffed up.

Raven supports our every-day lung function while also creating the feeling of having more breathing room! Wintergreen, Ravintsara, & Eucalyptus open up our airways and help us to feel like we have more space to breathe and let go of the grief! Here are a few ideas for using Raven in this way:

  • Diffuse with citrus oils as you process through your emotions. To release our motions we need physical movement so consider yoga, walking or even stretching.
  • Rub a little behind the ears and over the chest while repeating the mantra: "I see clearly" or "I let it go".

ImmuPro Spotlight - August 2023

ImmuPro Spotlight

ImmuPro is one of our favorite ways to support the immune system! These chewable tablets contain Ningxia wolfberry (a potent antioxidant), zinc, and selenium along with melatonin for restorative rest when you aren't at your best. Grab these tablets when you feel your defenses going down - or anytime you want a little boost!

Immupro at a Glance
  • Provides immune system support through a mixture of Ningxia wolfberry polysaccharides and a mushroom powder blend
  • Contains Orange essential oil, which is high in limonene
  • Contains chelated minerals, including zinc and selenium, which emerging science suggests are more easily absorbed by the body for proper immune function
  • Delivers melatonin, which encourages restful sleep by promoting the body's natural sleep rhythm
  • A convenient way to support the immune system and healthy sleep
Background

ImmuPro tablets are jam packed with some of the most powerful plant-powered immune stimulants around – the wolfberry, organic reishi, maitake, and agaricus blazei mushroom powders, zinc, and selenium. These ingredients deliver powerful antioxidant support to help reduce the damaging effects of oxidative stress from free radicals. Trace minerals like zinc, copper and selenium are essential for proper immune function. Plus, ImmuPro tablets include melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone that our bodies already produce that is great for immune support and sleep. Melatonin levels steadily decrease with age and in times of stress and is important as it encourages restful sleep by promoting the body's natural sleep rhythm.

Like all of Young Living's supplements, ImmuPro is enhanced with essential oils to help the body to assimilate and absorb the nutrients in the supplements, which is so amazing! ImmuPro contains Orange essential oil, which is rich in limonene. Limonene has been extensively studied for all of its health benefits from immune support to relaxation.

Key Ingredients
  • NingXia Wolfberry - packed with antioxidants and micronutrients; helps repair and prevent oxidative damage from free radicals
  • Reishi, Maitke, Mycelia mushroom powders - provide immune system support, help with memory, focus, brain health & also supports gut health (a key component of a healthy immune system!)
  • Melatonin - a naturally occurring hormone that the body makes to promote restful sleep, which is essential for immune function - especially in the presence of immune invaders
  • Orange essential oil - high in antioxidants and limonene, which support the immune system, bolster the natural immune response, and repair and prevent free radical damage
How to Use ImmuPro

Background

Everyone knows that calcium is essential for healthy bones and teeth, but did you know calcium works in tandem with other minerals? This means that taking calcium supplements alone is not enough. It is essential to have a balance of magnesium and other minerals including zinc and manganese for our bodies to absorb and utilize calcium!

Calcium and magnesium specifically work together to help maintain healthy bones, nerves and teeth. Symptoms of low magnesium and calcium may include low energy and fatigue as your body has trouble performing the minute cellular tasks without these minerals. In fact, magnesium alone activates over 300 enzymes or more in the body, and when you pair magnesium with calcium, they are vital healthy nerve and muscle functions and pathways.

Key Ingredients

An excerpt from the Supplement Field Guide by Dr. Ashley H. Cribb:
  • Vitamin C - Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that is essential for growth and repair of tissues, cartilage, bones and teeth
  • Calcium - Calcium assists in blood clotting, muscle contraction, cholesterol metabolism, healthy blood pressure and nerve transmission. It also helps keep tissues rigid, strong and flexible and is essential for healthy bones and teeth.
  • Magnesium - Magnesium is used to regulate everything from protein synthesis to muscle and nerve function, glucose levels and blood pressure. It is required for energy production and the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and glutathione, the body's primary antioxidant.
  • Zinc - Zinc is an essential trace element that helps strengthen the immune system is required for calcium uptake, and supports muscle health and energy levels.
  • Manganese - Manganese is a cofactor required for enzyme activity in the body. It plays a role in amino acid, cholesterol, glucose, and carbohydrate metabolism, bone formation, and immune health.
  • Lemon essential oil - Lemon is high in limonene, which strengthens the immune system, helps decongest the lymphatic system, and improves nutrient absorption.

How to use MegaCal
  • Take 1 scoop (1 teaspoon) with 1 cup of water or juice daily. Do not exceed 3 servings daily. For best results, take 1 hour after a meal or taking medication or 1 hour before bedtime.

A Few Notes on Fragrance...

If you turn over your favorite good smelling products, you'll often find the word ‘fragrance' in the ingredients. But what is fragrance??

Fragrance chemicals are organic compounds that volatilize, or vaporize into the air, which is why we can smell them. They are added to household and personal care products to give them a scent or to mask the odor of other ingredients. Unfortunately, the volatile organic chemicals (VOCs - think the smell of paint or paint thinner) emitted by fragrance products can contribute to poor indoor air quality and are associated with a variety of adverse health effects. They are pretty much the last thing you want in a product for ambiance and aroma.

But it gets a little bit worse…. Did you know that to protect trade secrets, makers are allowed to withhold fragrance ingredients, so consumers can't rely on labels to know what hazards may lurk inside those festive scented candles (and room sprays.. and wall plugs… and perfumes.. and cosmetics…). This is called the “fragrance loophole” in federal labeling law. Although all other ingredients in your scented household and personal care products must be disclosed on the label by their specific name, this loophole means that ingredients added to provide a pleasant scent, or to mask a bad one, need only be listed under the generic term “fragrance.” 

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) reports that, while many popular candles and room sprays contain trace amounts of natural essences, they also typically contain a dozen or more potentially hazardous synthetic chemicals, some of which are derived from petroleum. According to the EWG, 

“Exposure to fragrance chemicals can cause headaches; eye, nose, and throat irritation; nausea; forgetfulness; loss of coordination; and other respiratory and/or neurotoxic symptoms. Many fragrance ingredients are respiratory irritants and sensitizers, which can trigger asthma attacks and aggravate sinus conditions.” 

One example of a harmful ingredient (there are many!) when it comes to fragrance, is styrene, an ingredient added to a wide variety of consumer products. A 2011 finding by the National Toxicology Program (endorsed by the Academy's National Research Council) found that styrene is “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.”

We know only that styrene might be an ingredient in any given fragrance because the International Fragrance Association, an industry trade group, publishes an online “Transparency List” of ingredients that perfumers say they use in formulas for consumer products. Styrene is one of the 3,000-odd ingredients on the list.

When you add up the number of products in your bathroom cabinets and under your kitchen sink that contain “fragrance” – and may contain styrene – the total could be many exposures to a substance we now know is “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.”

THIS is why we are so passionate about ditching conventional products and switching to Young Living's clean, effective and safe options! Young Living NEVER uses fragrance in their products - they don't even need to because of the incredible essential oils. All the Young Living products are infused with the highest quality, therapeutic grade essential oils which not only make fragrance unnecessary, they actually improve our health!

Back to School Handbook 2023

The 2023 Back to School Handbook

It's hard to believe that school time is already here, but there is something soothing about the routine of backpacks and books and pencils, don't you think?! As always, we want to do everything we can to make this a healthy, happy school year. Here are a few of our best tips for doing just that!

Keeping Everyone Healthy

Thieves is our go-to germ-busting blend, and we love having it around us in multiple forms throughout the day! Thieves essential oil and roll-on, Thieves Waterless Hand Sanitizer and Spray, Thieves Foaming Hand Soap – give us all the Thieves!


Supplement Daily

  • Super C Chewables and Immugummies for everyone in the family! Vitamin C and immune health are synonymous, and adding the elderberry and elderflower Immugummies to your routine is a great daily habit for the entire family.
  • KidScents MightyVites is a perfect option for a wholesome daily vitamin for kids of all ages.
  • Ningxia Red is our favorite supplement for ALL the things. It is an antioxidant and nutrient powerhouse that helps us sleep better, get and keep glowing skin, keep a healthy immune system, have healthy energy levels, and much much more. 

Keeping Things Clean

Thieves Household Cleaner is our absolute favorite for green, plant-based cleaning. You know we use this in our homes, but did you know that a lot of teachers will use it in their classrooms as well?! So many people have gifted it along with a glass spray bottle to their kids' teachers to use daily in their classrooms. Spice it up with one of these recipes!

School Days Thieves Cleaner
  • 16 oz glass spray bottle 
  • 1-2 capfuls Thieves Household Cleaner 
  • 10 drops each Orange & Cinnamon Bark essential oils
  • 5 drops each Ginger, Clove, & Nutmeg essential oils
  • Fill with distilled water
Falling Leaves Thieves Cleaner
  • 16 oz glass spray bottle 
  • 1-2 capfuls Thieves Household Cleaner 
  • 10 drops each Tangerine, Northern Lights Black Spruce, & Bergamot essential oils
  • 5 drops Patchouli essential oil
  • Fill with distilled water

  • 1-2 capfuls Thieves Household Cleaner

  • 5 drops each Nutmeg & Tangerine essential oils
  • Fill with distilled water

Staying Focused

Whether you're helping your little ones with homework, helping older kids stay focused in class, or needing some help yourself, these are some of our favorite oils for staying focused and alert!

Why these? A study on essential oils and focus by Dr. Terry Friedmann found a 32% improvement in mental focus in children inhaling Vetiver, with similar results in the group inhaling Cedarwood.

They realized this is because of a specific constituent (a component of the oils). Vetiver and Cedarwood are extremely high in sesquiterpenes - molecules that deliver oxygen molecules to cells, just like hemoglobin does to the blood! More oxygen to the brain = better focus. These oils also help our brain waves calm from an overactive state to a focused one.

  • Cedarwood 98% sesquiterpenes
  • Vetiver 97% sesquiterpenes
  • Spikenard 93% sesquiterpenes
  • Sandalwood 90% sesquiterpenes

School Day Butterflies

One way to help calm those first day (or test day!) jitters is diffusing a calming, grounding & uplifting blend! Prep your diffuser the night before with this blend and have it going as you eat breakfast and make sure everything is ready to go before you head out the door. 

This also makes a great roller! Multiply the drops by 5, add a carrier and go. Pop it in your child's backpack (or your own bag.. parents can feel those butterflies too!) or apply it to a diffuser bracelet to bring those calming vibes along with you!

Jittery Butterflies Blend
  • 3 drops Peace & Calming
  • 2 drops Tangerine
  • 2 drops Valor
  • 2 drops Stress Away
  • 1 drop Vetiver

Sweet, Sweet Sleep

A good night of sleep always makes you feel amazing, but did you know that sleep has even more effects than just having energy? It is a huge part of our ability to focus, our immune systems, and our ability to retain information! Sleep is crucial for us and for our little ones, especially during the school year. Try some of these tips for helping everyone in the home get some sweet sweet sleep!

Sleepytime oils - Peace & Calming, Cedarwood, Valor, Lavender, SleepyIze, Seedlings Calm, Tranquil. Choose a few and keep them on hand to diffuse every evening at bedtime.

Nighttime Linen Spray - Spray this onto sheets, blankets, pjs and stuffed animals before bed.
  • Glass spray bottle
  • 30 drops Peace & Calming
  • 15 drops Lavender
  • Splash of witch hazel
  • Water
KidScents Unwind - This magnesium-based supplement is our go-to for unwinding before bed. It also includes tryptophan and essential oils that help promote a calm state. Because it can help with restlessness and sleeplessness, it can also improve focus and concentration in the classroom! 

KidScents MightyPro - It may seem a little bizarre to put a gut health supplement in the sleep category, but more and more research shows us that a healthy gut is crucial for all things – including sleep!

School Day Blends

These are some of our favorites for immune support, focus, calming, and soothing! You can also make these into roller blends! Strong Defenses is a favorite everyday wellness roller in our house. To do this, multiply the drops by 5-7, add a carrier, and go!

  • After School Pep Talk - 5 drops Thieves, 5 drops Peppermint, 2 drops Tangerine
  • Sniffle Ease - 4 drops each Lemon, Lavender, Raven or R.C.
  • Homework Helpers - 4 drops Cedarwood, 5 drops Vetiver, 2 drops Peppermint
  • Settle Down - 5 drops Peace & Calming, 4 drops Lavender, 2 drops Tangerine
  • Strong Defenses - 4 drops each Thieves, Frankincense, & Lemon
  • First Day Butterflies - 4 drops Valor, 3 drops each Bergamot, & Tangerine

After School Fun

Pumpkin Pie Play Dough

An activity for the kids with the option of being free of harmful dyes and ingredients and leaves the house and their little hands smelling AMAZING plus it has immune boosting properties! You can make this together, super easy, then let them play the crisp, fall day away!!

  • 2 cups cornstarch
  • 1 cup Kidscents Lotion
  • 4 drops Cardamom
  • 2 drops Orange
  • 1 drop Cinnamon bark
  • 1 drop Clove
  • Mix all the ingredients together and let their imaginations run wild!
DIY Clay Leaf Tray

This DIY tray is a fun craft for the little ones to make and gift! Before the clay hardens, you can drop essential oils onto it. Choose stronger scents like Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Thieves or Peppermint to ensure more scent.

First, explore around your yard and gather your leaves! Cut out a piece of air dry clay, then roll it out about 1/2 inch thick, making sure your leaf will fit fully onto the clay. Then, press your leaf (vein side down) onto the clay. Make sure all parts of the leaf press in so that you get all the pretty nuances of the leaf!

Remove the leaf from the clay, and cut around the outline with a knife (have adults do this part), then remove the excess air dry clay from around your imprint. Go around the perimeter of the leaf and gently press the sides up and in to create a small edge. If adding oils, do so now. 
Allow the clay to air dry and harden. We set ours on a baking rack so that both sides were exposed to air. After 24 hours they had hardened and were ready to paint!

Paint! Once the paint is dry, cover with a coat of Modge Podge gloss, then let that dry for 24 hours. After the coating is dry, have your children sign the back and write the year.

We hope you enjoy this Back to School Handbook.

Cedarwood Essential Oil Spotlight - July 2023

Cedarwood Spotlight


Cedarwood essential oil feels like a walk through a beautiful forest - warm, welcoming and calming to the senses. This oil is great for everything from focus to skincare to sleep and is one we always have on hand. 

Just a Drop of Cedarwood

  • Has a grounding, soothing, woodsy aroma
  • Creates a tranquil environment when diffused
  • Supports a calm, focused mental state
  • Wonderful to help wind down at the end of the day
  • Helps maintain the appearance of youthful skin and healthy-looking hair
  • Can be used to help fend off outdoor annoyances (pairs well with Citronella!)
  • Has natural skin-cleansing and deodorizing properties
  • High in sesquiterpenes
Background

Young Living's Cedarwood essential oil is steam distilled from the bark of Cedrus atlantica, a close relative to the biblical Cedars of Lebanon, or Cedrus libani. Historically used by the ancient Egyptians in ceremonial rites, this variety of cedarwood is now grown primarily in Morocco. 
Cedarwood was traditionally used for cleansing rituals, both physical and emotional. The Chinese, Sumerians and Egyptians used oil of cedarwood for embalming, disinfecting, hygienic, and other purposes more than 5,000 years ago and it was mentioned on a Babylonian tablet dated 1800 B.C. for multiple uses.

Key Constituents

Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them sprecic health-supporting properties.

All three of the key constituents found in Cedarwood are sesquiterpenes. In fact Cedarwood is 98% sesquiterpenes, the oil with the highest amount! Alpha-himachalene, Beta-himachalene, Gamma-himachalene: These compounds stimulate the limbic system of the brain, help lower brain waves from overly active to focused or from focused to meditative, help elevate the mood and calm the body.

Sesquiterpenes are a powerful tool! They help with oxygenating the pineal and pituitary glands, which are responsible for producing hormones related to sleep and stress. Sesquiterpenes also stimulate Beta Wave production in the brain, which helps with focus. When we are performing a difficult task or working on a problem, our brain increases the amount of beta waves.

Sesquiterpenes stimulate and support that natural production and therefore ability to focus. These compounds also help delete negative information in the cellular memory, making them extremely helpful tools when experiencing or processing trauma of any kind (chemical, medical, physical, emotional, relational).

Cedarwood & Focus

Because Cedarwood is extremely high in sesquiterpenes, it is a great tool for focus. Remember, sesquiterpenes are naturally occurring molecules in essential oils that deliver oxygen molecules to cells, just like hemoglobin does to the blood.  Sesquiterpene compounds stimulate the limbic system of the brain, in turn elevating our mood and calming the body. A simple way to maximize this effect is to apply Cedarwood to the brainstem to support focus.

A study on essential oils and focus by Dr. Terry Friedmann found a 32% improvement in mental focus in children inhaling Vetiver, similar results in the Cedarwood group, and no changes in the Lavender group. The study was done using EGG testing of brain waves while administering the TOVA mental focus test. He had an unmedicated “low focus” group and a control group and administered the oils Vetiver, Cedarwood, and Lavender by having children inhale the oil deeply three times separately over the course of 30 days.

Other sesquiterpene rich oils:
  • Vetiver 97%
  • Spikenard 93%
  • Sandalwood 90%
Cedarwood & Emotions

Some essential oils are especially good for opening up the emotional centers of our brain. This is an opening to address subconscious memories and unresolved feelings that affect our health! Cedarwood helps us deal with these repetitive program glitches in our nervous system while also calming the mind and making our thinking more productive. Like the sprawling evergreen tree that this oil comes from, Cedarwood's scent helps us to mentally and emotionally branch out, connecting and expanding our thoughts.
