Home for the Holidays Diffuser Blends - Nov 2024

Home for the Holidays
Diffuser Blends

It's the time of year when we naturally start to slow down and savor the beauty around us, and these diffuser blends will help set the stage to do just that.

Rich in warm, spicy oils like Cinnamon Bark and Clove, these blends will also help show some love to our immune, adrenal, and respiratory systems (all of which need some TLC this time of year!). The woodsy oils in these blends help calm our minds and bodies and create the coziest holiday home. So fill up your diffuser, and keep it running all season long!

Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time. 

LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!

To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.

To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!

To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.

To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.

Happy diffusing!!

  • 3 drops Cinnamon Bark
  • 2 drops Bergamot
This blend is perfect whenever you need a cozy blend to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere! Pine is grounding and calming and also supports the immune system. Orange and Bergamot are uplifting and stimulate creativity. Cinnamon bark evokes the feelings of the season and has its own health benefits, making this blend great for your health while also rivaling the most popular scented candles!

Comfort & Joy

  • 4 drops Christmas Spirit
  • 3 drops Frankincense
  • 3 drops Bergamot
  • 2 drops Lavender
The holidays are a time for gathering with loved ones, but let's be honest - sometimes that can be an emotional experience. Whether it's stress, family dynamics, or just the hustle and bustle of going here and there, this blend feels like a warm hug in the middle of the chaos.

Christmas Spirit brings the cozy, festive feeling we all want, while Frankincense adds a grounding element so you can feel calm and centered. Lavender softens the edges of tension, and a bit of Bergamot brings a bright, uplifting twist to help ease anxious feelings.

Diffuse this blend when gathering with family, or whenever you need a little extra emotional boost! It's like wrapping yourself in comfort while still embracing the joy of the season. Perfect for keeping the holiday spirit alive—even during those more difficult moments.

DiGize Vitality Essential Blend

DiGize is another oil to always have on hand. It is our go-to for digestive support anytime we need it - both daily and acutely. Make sure to grab this one before you head out to all your summer gatherings!

Add DiGize to V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier and massage it over the abdomen to soothe digestive needs.

Make a ‘Tummy' roller to apply over the stomach as needed for digestive support. To a 10 mL roller bottle, add:
  • 15 drops DiGize
  • 10 drops each Lemon & Peppermint (optional)
  • Carrier of choice
Apply DiGize diluted or in a roller over the stomach and liver to support release of toxic emotions. This works best when paired with strong affirmations and/or prayer.
 
When traveling, inhale DiGize directly from the bottle for soothing comfort. Or pair it with Peppermint in a travel diffuser.

DiGize Vitality is the exact same oil as DiGize essential oil blend, simply labeled differently so it can be ingested. That means you can use the DiGize Vitality the same way you would DiGize essential oil blend - in the diffuser and in all your favorite roller blends as well.

Support your health from the inside out with daily DiGize capsules. Add 1-2 drops DiGize Vitality to a vegetarian capsule and top off with a carrier oil (olive oil or V6).

Add a drop or two of DiGize Vitality to your favorite herbal tea for a digestive support twist.

Whenever you need some extra digestive health, add a drop of DiGize Vitality and a drop of Lemon Vitality (optional) to a large glass of water or to a vegetarian capsule for relief.

Abundance Oil Spotlight - Oct 2024

Abundance Spotlight


This rich and spicy oil is designed to help us release fears associated with a poverty mindset. Even when we don't realize it, we have skills, abilities, tools, opportunities, contacts, teachers, and wisdom right at our fingertips. Abundance oil blend (and intentional practices!) can help us to realize this fact and step into those things in front of us! 

Abundance at a Glance

  • Has a warm, spicy aroma that is stimulating and inspiring 
  • Can help enhance the mindset of prosperity and plentitude
  • Is a wonderful addition to your daily gratitude practice. Pair this oil blend with a daily gratitude journal.
  • Pairs well with Harmony, Forgiveness, Joy, Tangerine, Stress Away, Valor and White Angelica essential oils
  • A great addition to the Feelings Collection kit.
Background

Abundance essential oil blend features Orange, Frankincense, Patchouli, Clove, Ginger, Myrrh, Cinnamon Bark, and Black Spruce essential oils, which were used by ancient cultures to attract prosperity and magnify joy and peace. Each oil in this blend was chosen for its unique properties!

Key Ingredients

  • Orange - high in limonene, which is great for the immune system; uplifting and encouraging to the mind and spirit
  • Frankincense - carries historical and biblical significance as a grounding and uplifting aroma
  • Patchouli - grounding and helps connect to the inner self
  • Myrrh - stimulates the limbic system, the seat of memory; a wonderful oil to use to work on stored emotional trauma or negative thoughts
  • Black Spruce - grounding and relaxing and helps to clear the mind.
It is time for us to wake up to the walls we are building between us and freedom because we insist that there is never enough time, money, or us. We choose. We have the same 24 hours anyone else has, our own unique set of gifts that no one else has, and one life to live. Let's not waste a single moment in fear and a spirit of lack.

We can have this spirit of not having enough in our health and wellness as well as in our finances. Always believing that it's not worth it to invest in our health, that we'll never have enough energy, and that it's impossible for us to be "whole" in our health. We are believing falsehoods. We were created for wholeness and our bodies were designed for healing.
As you apply this oil, speak truth over yourself such as: 
  • "I lack nothing."
  • "I have everything I need."
  • "I am enough."
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
  • Bornyl acetate - may help calm and focus the mind

Falling Leaves Diffuser Blends - Sept 2024

Falling Leaves Diffuser Blends

There's a certain magic that comes along with the shorter days and crisp air of autumn. The vibrant colors of fall leaves, the cozy warmth of sweaters, and the comforting aroma of rich spices create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

And we think the best way to capture the essence of autumn is through these diffuser blends! These combinations can evoke the smells of the forest, the sweetness of baked goods, and the comforting scents of a crackling fire and help you embrace the spirit of the season.

Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time. 

LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!

To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.

To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!

To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.

To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.

Happy diffusing!!

Autumn Sun

  • 4 drops Cinnamon Bark
  • 3 drops Clove
  • 2 drops Tangerine

This blend combines Cinnamon, Clove, Nutmeg, and Ginger to recreate a comforting and festive fall aroma, perfect for gatherings and relaxing evenings. Plus, these oils are rich in spice and antioxidants, giving your immune system a little TLC while making your space smell warm and inviting!

Autumn Breeze

  • 3 drops Eucalyptus
  • 3 drops Rosemary
  • 3 drops Lavender
  • 2 drops Peppermint
Is there anything better than a crisp autumn breeze flowing through your windows? You feel like you can breathe deeply, let go of the stress, and find hope for what's in store. This blend of Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Peppermint, and Lavender is reminiscent of just that. These oils literally help you take deeper breaths (hello respiratory support!), plus they help to soothe anxious feelings, sharpen the mind and sense, and help you refocus and refresh as your spirit feels uplifted.

This exclusive collection embodies 30 years of dedication, innovation, and pioneering. With six 5 mL bottles showcasing a different label and a different point in YL history, these oils serve as cherished mementos of the transformative strides this company has made for people and the planet.

Just a Drop of Lavender

  • A rare collector's item to display your pride as part of the YL community
  • Sweet, calming, floral scent helps create a restful environment
  • Can be used to cleanse, hydrate, or soothe the skin after a day in the sun
  • Calms and relaxes the mind and body

  • Creates a tranquil environment when diffused or applied topically

For the Love of Lavender

Lavender is reminiscent of a wonderful grandmother. Soft and huggable, gentle, smells like flowers, calming, and is the one you want around if you are sad, tired, or need comforting. She has experience and wisdom and seems to be able to fix every problem. She is soft-spoken and makes you feel more rested the moment she's around. And she seems to have that perfect knack with any baby.

Unfortunately, over the years, many "lavender" scented items became filled with synthetics and fillers which actually irritated our airways and lost all of their benefits. People even started giving lavender a bad reputation as being unsafe because of all the synthetic, chemical-laden products that had been used bearing its name. There is more lavender oil sold than grown in the world which doesn't really add up right.

But, Young Living. Young Living began growing and distilling its own lavender to ensure a high quality essential oil, making sure that we have the real thing in our homes. Many Young Living customers have planted and harvested YL Lavender themselves in Idaho and Utah! I mean, who wants a fake grandmother? Little Red Riding Hood can tell you that is NOT a good plan.

Today we use our Young Living Lavender in many similar ways. In our lotions, bath products, sleep roll-ons, diffusers, and on our precious babies. It is a gentle oil with a calming effect on everything from our respiratory systems, to our skin, to our emotions. So when you have a problem and you want something to be comforted, whether it's your irritated nose, your foot, or your baby, remember The Grandmother of all oils and give her a try.

Daily Habits with Lavender

Lavender is such a lovely, versatile oil that there are many ways we can use it on a daily basis - from skincare to relaxation to health to kids!

Add Lavender to your relaxation routine…

  • Unwind in the evening with a calming, Lavender-infused neck or back massage. Feeling tense? Add a little Peppermint and Frankincense!
  • Use Lavender as part of a bedtime routine by rubbing it on the bottoms of your feet and diffusing it next to your bed.
  • Help little ones calm down for bedtime with gentle Lavender massage. Mix 1 tbsp carrier oil with 5 drops Lavender and gently massage legs, arms and back.
  • Add 10 drops of Lavender to 1 cup of magnesium flakes or epsom salt to a bath to create a relaxing environment. We also love adding Peace & Calming or Frankincense to the mix!
Add Lavender to your wellness routine…

Reach for Lavender to release tension. Head On Roller
  • 20 drops Peppermint, Copaiba, & Lavender, 10 drops Frankincense. 
  • Fill with V-6 carrier or carrier oil of choice and roll over temples, across the forehead, on the back of the neck and shoulders. 
Use Lavender to support the airways when air quality is less than ideal:
  • Seasons Change Roller Blend - 15 drops each Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Tea Tree, & Copaiba, then fill with carrier. Roll over the chest, wrists, just below the nostrils. This also makes a great combination for an epsom salt bath or a diffuser blend!
  • Add 5 drops each Lavender & Copaiba to 1 cup fine grain sea salt or organic salt and mineral solution and mix well. To use, dilute 1 tsp of mixture with 8-12 oz distilled water to make a DIY nasal rinse solution for use in a netipot
  • Use a drop of Lavender Vitality under the tongue or swiped on the inside of the cheek. 
Use Lavender to support skin needs…

Make an “Owie” spray or cream (great for kiddos!):
  • 2 tbsp solid coconut oil (for a cream) or fractionated coconut oil (for a spray)
  • 15 drops each Lavender, Frankincense, & Copaiba
  • Optional: 10 drops Tea Tree for purifying needs
  • Small glass jar or 2 oz glass spray bottle 
  • Apply to needed area frequently to support natural healing

  • Apply Lavender diluted with coconut oil to skin after touching something hot.
  • Add Lavender to your moisturizer for oily skin needs or apply it with a cotton ball to blemishes or the t-zone as needed.
  • Make a dry scalp mask with ¼ cup organic avocado oil, 10 drops each Lavender & Tea Tree essential oil. Apply to dry spots of scalp and let sit for 15 minutes before rinsing and washing as usual. Use once a week. 
Rub lavender and coconut oil on the skin after time in the sun or make an after-sun spray or balm!
  • ¼ cup solid coconut oil (or liquid carrier for a spray)
  • 10 drops Peppermint essential oil
  • 20 drops Lavender essential oil
  • Optional: 15 drops Tea Tree essential oil for extra red/hot skin
  • Small glass jar or 2 oz glass spray bottle 
Diffuser Blends with Lavender

Lavender's floral aroma is distinctive and unique, yet it mixes well with other fragrances too. Blend Lavender with other florals, and its clean, simple scent will shine. Mix it with spectacular spices or whimsical woods to soften sharp smells. Add a touch of romance to citrus perfumes or a hint of sweetness to herby aromas.

  • Sweet Dreams - 4 drops Northern Lights Black Spruce, 3 drops Tangerine, 3 drops Lavender
  • Sunkissed - 3 drops each Tangerine, Grapefruit, Lime, & Lavender
  • Coastal Oasis - 3 drops each Lavender, Eucalyptus Radiata, & Lime

Give Yourself a Brain Boost

Did you know that essential oils can literally enhance your environment? Current research in development psychology and education shows us the magic of an "enhanced environment." For children this looks like toys, sports, music, and learning opportunities in addition to their physical environment. These things result in improved cognitive and language development, social and emotional skills, creativity, imagination, and problem-solving skills.

BUT what about us adults?? Adults can also improve these things with an enhanced environment. Dr. Cynthia Woo recently did a study at UC Irvine that diffusing essential oils before bed showed improvement in cognitive test scores, positive changes in brain anatomy, improved cognitive resilience and youthfulness.

The short version? Diffusing oils before bed can improve your brain function!!! (See why you need to diffuse)

AromaConnect App

Making a shift to low-tox living is literally as simple as switch, schedule, and smell! You don't have to worry about fire hazards from candles, synthetic scents and fragrances, hazardous air pollutants, or burning through oils too quickly. All you need is a diffuser, your oils, and the AromaConnect app (if desired!). (See why you need to say no to artificial fragrances.)

The AromaConnect app allows you to diffuse when and where you want with a simple swipe! Set up routines for devices, rooms, and homes from anywhere – custom light modes, run times, and even sounds. Program device specific settings for a.m. and p.m. so you can choose exactly what, when, and where you diffuse.

Simply download the AromaConnect app to use! Visit either the App Store (Apple devices) or Google Play (Android devices), depending on your device and operating system. Tap the magnifying glass Search icon and type in “AromaConnect.” In the search results, find the app supported by Young Living. In the App Store, click the Get button. In Google Play, click the Install button.

BUT, if you don't want to use the app, you don't have to! The Wake-Up-Light Diffuser will work manually as well!

Directions for Use

  • Transform your bedside table into a sanctuary for mindful moments with the AromaConnect Wake-Up Light Diffuser.
  • Start your day feeling refreshed as you wake up to a gradual sunrise accompanied by a bright essential oil blend and the soothing sounds of nature found on our Young Living farms.
  • Ease effortlessly into a peaceful night's rest as you bask in a gradual sunset, enveloped by a tranquil p.m. essential oil blend and gentle, soothing sleep sounds.
When it comes to choosing oils for your diffuser, it is not recommended to diffuse the DeepSpectra oils, as they are intended for topical application and ingestion to receive the full benefits of these patents-pending extracts. Diffusing oils containing coconut or other carrier oils with the Wake-Up-Light Diffuser risks clogging your diffuser. Thicker, more viscous oils like Myrrh, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, and some past formulas of Simplified by Jacob + Kait essential oils may also lead to clogging and be harder to smell because they diffuse more slowly. For best results, use low-viscosity oils such as Lavender and Orange essential oils or Young Living Stress Away blend.

Copaiba Spotlight - July 2024

Copaiba Spotlight


Copaiba is one oil you always want to have on hand. Think of this oil like the Fireman of the toolkit - gentle yet strong, ready to get to work soothing things that need to be soothed. From skin care to muscles to gut health, this little bottle can do so much!

Just a Drop of Copaiba

  • Has a calming, earthy aroma that creates a relaxing environment when diffused
  • Promotes the appearance of a youthful, radiant glow when applied topically
  • Can be massaged into fatigued areas after activity
  • Supports overall wellness when taken internally*
  • Has a robust, earthy flavor with notes of honey
  • Copaiba Vitality has a buttery, delicate flavor
  • Pairs well with Peppermint, Spearmint, Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Nutmeg, Orange, and Lemon Vitality oils
Copaiba - The Fireman (words by Courtney Critz)

He is ever on the alert, skilled, protective, strong. He goes quickly through the pathways of your cells seeking out the raging flames and pouring on the calming water of his many anti-inflammatory benefits.

Wherever there is "fire" or inflammation in your body, it is a signal of something going on. An arsonist at work (disease, stress) or a drought in your system that needs to be addressed (lack of nutrients). This can also be the result of foods that you are eating such as refined sugar, modern grains, processed dairy, or other foods that don't work well with your body. Over time this compounds until you have fire raging everywhere and you are experiencing pain, digestive issues, skin eruptions, and brain dysfunctions. Eventually this leads to even more serious problems.

People often think that because they don't have digestive problems, they don't have gut inflammation issues. Not at all true. Gut inflammation shows itself as brain fog, pain in joints, emotional instability, and skin eruptions. It's ALL connected.

Eventually, if root issues aren't addressed, your body is spending all of its energy trying to function despite all the fire raging throughout your system. 

Everything is burning and you are so busy dealing with the side effects of the fires, you can't ever get to the actual healing to keep the fires from happening. 

You're taking medications to treat the pain, the meds increase the inflammation as your gut is damaged, thereby increasing the pain, leading to more medication for the pain…see the cycle?

We have to find a different way. 

We have to find alternatives that can help us put out the fires, keep them out, and not do further damage to our systems. Truly quenching them is going to result in lasting relief and recovery. This will mean finding ways to reduce stress, to eat foods that nourish instead of harming us, and repairing the damage that has already been done to our poor guts.

And we need a hero. We need a Fireman.

BACKGROUND

Copaiba essential oil is steam distilled from the gum resin of the Brazilian Copaifera reticulata tree. Native to the Amazon River Basin, these trees can reach 25−40 feet and can live for up to 400 years. Copaiba resin has been used for various purposes throughout the Amazon region since at least the 16th century. It contains a high percentage of the naturally occurring constituent beta-caryophyllene, making it a great choice to add to skin care products or to use for massage. Copaiba Vitality essential oil provides general wellness support when taken internally. Copaiba and Copaiba Vitality are the same essential oil, simply labeled differently.

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

  • Beta-caryophyllene
  • Alpha-humulene

All Things Diffusing - June 2024

All Things Diffusing

Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time. This is hands down one of the easiest health habits you can start! And we have you covered right here with everything you need to know.

Diffusing at a Glance

  • Makes your space smell amazing
  • An easy habit for anyone to start at any time
  • A great alternative to scented candles and wall plugs (which are full of toxins!)
  • Benefits many needs - mood, respiration, focus, immunity, cleansing, sleep and more
  • Supports overall health and a low-tox lifestyle
There are three major ways to use essential oils - topically (on the skin), ingesting, and aromatically (diffusing, inhaling from the bottle). We often choose the method of diffusing (or inhaling) over topical or ingesting because it is extremely effective for:
  • Emotions
  • Mental Support
  • Respiratory Support
  • Rest & Relaxation
Cliff notes version: Breathing our oils has the potential to make us happier, healthier, and more focused! 

What & How of Diffusing

All you need to start diffusing essential oils is a diffuser, a little bit of water, and some Young Living essential oils!

Each diffuser will have a fill line on the inside, so just add water to the fill line, add your oils of choice, replace the lid and turn on the diffuser. Instant transformation! You can place a diffuser virtually anywhere - your home, office, even your car! 

  • Feeling a little stressed with early morning traffic? Try Peppermint + Stress Away in an USB diffuser that sits right in your vehicle cup holder.
  • Need some help calming your thoughts at bedtime? Lavender, Cedarwood & Vetiver are your friends. (Put your diffuser right by your bed!).
  • Feeling a little stuffy? Diffuse Raven, Lemon and Frankincense (get extra oomph for diffusing while you shower - oils + steam!).
  • Want a festive atmosphere without the toxins in wall plugs and candles? Fire up that diffuser with a seasonal scent! Cinnamon bark, Clove and Orange are great in the fall/winter, and we love Lavender, Lemon and Lime in the spring/summer!
Quick tip! If you don't have a diffuser or have access to a wall plug/USB outlet, grab a tissue, a wooden clothes pin, or some cotton balls and drop a few drops of oil onto them. Place them in an air vent or under a seat in a vehicle or anywhere you can to create a passive diffuser! 

Benefits of Aromatherapy

The practice of aromatherapy has been around for centuries and has become an incredibly popular area of study in the last decade. There are countless studies on PubMed about the ways that essential oils can positively impact health areas such as immunity, mood and emotions, sleep, racing thoughts, focus and much more.

Does this sound too good to be true? Are you wondering how breathing in some Lavender can change your mood??

Aromatherapy (breathing in essential oils) sends messages to our brain through our cranial nerves. The olfactory (sense of smell!) cranial nerve ends in the brain right next to the organs of the limbic system - the system that controls mood, emotions and memory. So inhaling oils triggers this area, helping us to rest, reset, and recharge. And diffusing is a great way to get the benefit of these oils for more than one individual! You can play with combinations to find the ones you love and that are the most beneficial to you!

Diffusing FAQs

How long can I diffuse at a time?

We have diffusers going in our home pretty much 24/7! In large, open areas we don't keep track of how long we diffuse. At bedtime we use the intermittent setting on our diffusers and let them run all night long! And if we are diffusing in a room where doors are closed (ie kids bedrooms), we simply add less oils and use the intermittent setting. Don't overthink it!

How many drops do I use?

That will depend on your diffuser! Larger ones that cover more area will require more drops. Here are a few of our favorite diffusers available from Young Living:

Do I need to clean my diffuser?

  • We do recommend cleaning your diffuser for best results! For the Aria, YL recommends you wipe down after every use with a clean, dry cloth and, as needed, wash the glass bowl either by hand or in the dishwasher. For other diffusers, YL recommends: 
  • Clean the ultrasonic plate and lid after each use.
  • If essential oil begins to build up on the ultrasonic plate, gently wipe it off using a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
  • If essential oil begins to build up on the lid, gently wipe it off using mild soap and water only.
Diffuser Settings

Did you know you can turn the lights on and off and change the colors on the diffusers? Or that the kids' diffusers can also double as a sound machine? Depending on the diffuser simply press the button on the left to cycle through the light options.

Most diffusers also have 1 or 2 intermittent modes, which can be changed by pressing the button on the right to cycle through the options! This is one of our favorite ways to have oils diffusing while we sleep.

Check out the manual that comes with your diffuser or the product links above for specific info on each one!

Super B Tablets

Super B is a comprehensive B Vitamin complex contains all eight essential energy-boosting B Vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12). It features Orgen-FA, a natural folate source derived from lemon peels, and methycobalamin, a more bioavailable source of B12. Combined with Nutmeg essential and bioavailable chelated minerals such as magnesium, manganese, selenium, and zinc, Super B not only assists in maintaining health energy levels, but it also supports mood and cardiovascular and cognitive function!

B Vitamins are essential to health and well-being and each B Vitamin performs a unique and separate function in the body. B Vitamins are not stored in the body, so supplementation is critical.

WHO SHOULD USE SUPER B?
  • Anyone under stress, as it depletes B vitamins in our bodies
  • Anyone who battles candida. Some believe a lack of it causes overgrowth.
  • Anyone who needs energy. It nourishes our adrenals and combats fatigue.
  • Anyone struggling mentally and emotionally, a deficiency can be linked to many anxious, exhausted, dark feelings and thoughts.
  • Anyone who struggles with anemia, is pregnant, or doesn't eat a strong whole food diet. While we DO NOT need folic acid which is all over our processed foods and grains, we do need folate which is what you will find in this whole-food supplement.
Create a daily stress-less protocol:

  • Take 2 Super B Tablets in the morning (or one in the morning and one around noon).
  • Apply the Adrenal Love (Stress Recovery) Serum over the lower back morning and evening. To a oz glass dropper bottle, add:
  • Roll EndoFlex over the front of the throat (thyroid) and lower back (adrenals) morning and evening. Simply add a roller top to the bottle!
  • Drink 2-4oz of NingXia Red daily. Make it fun! Mix it up with some kombucha, coconut water and/or sparkling water.
  • Consider adding ProgEssence Plus Serum to your routine.

Rosemary Spotlight - May 2024

Rosemary Essential Oil Spotlight


Rosemary has an earthy, sweet, herbaceous scent that is familiar and welcoming, but many people aren't aware that this oil is a powerhouse! Inhaling rosemary can help overcome mental fatigue, improve mental clarity and focus, ease anxiety and enhance analytic ability. Rosemary is a key player in our beloved Thieves blend and has been burned for centuries as incense to ward off sickness. To say we love this oil is an understatement! 

Just a Drop of Rosemary

  • Has a crisp, invigorating, herbal aroma that pairs well with most other oils
  • Promotes shiny, healthy-looking hair
  • Cleansing and purifying
  • Helps create an environment conducive to work or study
  • Supports the immune system and overall wellness 
  • Contains antioxidants
BACKGROUND

Native to the Mediterranean and Asia, rosemary derives its name from the Latin words “ros” and “marinus,” or “dew of the sea.” An evergreen shrub in the mint family, Rosemary grows abundantly in rocky coastal regions. Rosemary essential oil has an invigorating aroma that can be used to create an environment conducive to work or study. It is often included in soaps, fragrances, shampoos, and household cleaners and is a key ingredient in the Thieves essential oil blend. Rosemary is highly supportive of the immune, respiratory and cardiovascular systems and is often used to support healthy blood pressure. 

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

  • 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. 
  • Alpha-pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown alpha-pinene to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind.
Rosemary & Emotions

Rosemary can be an incredible health tool when it comes to emotional support! Not only does this herbaceous oil help with mental clarity and focus, it is supportive of the immune system as well. And our immune system is highly linked to our emotional state!

Think about it. When you feel something coming on you are often more easily agitated, feel low energy and even depressed. When we begin to fall below the wellness line it affects us physically, yes, but also spiritually, emotionally, mentally. The opposite is true as well. When we are feeling the negative side of emotions, our immune systems need some support. Feelings of Vulnerable, Exhausted, Unfocused, Uncertain and Run Down are a great time to grab your Rosemary!

One simple way to help with this… keep your bottle of Rosemary beside the bed. When you wake in the morning feeling sluggish, unwilling to start the day, uncertain of what is ahead,  take a deep breath of Rosemary. To promote Clarity, dilute and rub over the throat or over the liver.

Daily Habits with Rosemary & Rosemary Vitality

Note: Rosemary and Rosemary Vitality Essential Oil are the same oil; Rosemary Vitality is labeled for ingestion but is the same product.

Add Rosemary Vitality to your dressings, sauces, marinades and infused oils for cooking! Use 1 drop of Rosemary Vitality to replace 1 teaspoonful of dried herb.

Add Rosemary Vitality and olive oil to an empty vegetable capsule and use as a dietary supplement to support healthy circulation, cleansing and cardiovascular health.

  • 10-20 drops each Rosemary, Clove, & Nutmeg. 
  • Fill with castor oil
    Apply over the lower back daily before bed OR morning and evening.
Use Rosemary in DIY cleaning products for a fresh, sparkling home. Add 20 drops to Thieves Cleaner (option to add 20 drops of Lemon as well).

Use in laundry: on wool dryer balls, add to Thieves Laundry Soap

  • 1.5 cup salt Epsom Salt
  • 1/2 cup baking soda
  • 30 drops Rosemary (or mix Rosemary and Eucalyptus)
    Whisk together until all ingredients are well combined.

Moms, Grads, and Brides Diffuser Blends - May 2024

Moms, Grads, & Brides Diffuser Blends

Bring the feminine energy of warmth, joy, and a spirit of positivity with these inspired blends! Whether you're celebrating a mom, a grad, or a bride, you will find the perfect blend right here!

Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time. 

LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!

To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.

To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!

Happy diffusing!!
