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.
Bergamot Essential OilThis 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.
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!
Idaho Grand Fir Essential OilLike 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 OilNutmeg 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.

- 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.

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 DSuper 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.

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!

Daily Prebiotic Fiber
Supplement Spotlight
Health starts in the gut, so we want to do everything we can to have a happy, healthy belly! And having a healthy gut isn't something just for those with gut disorders. It is for us all. Taking daily steps to build, support, detoxify and balance gut bacteria and intestinal lining is crucial, and one of our favorite, simple ways to do this is with Daily Prebiotic Fiber! Daily Prebiotic Fiber is a daily prebiotic and fiber drink that is both delicious and easy on the stomach.
Daily Prebiotic Fiber at a Glance
Daily Prebiotic Fiber supports gut health, aids in the body's natural detoxification process, and helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome - all things that are crucial to overall health! This gentle daily formula contains 6 grams of plant-based prebiotics, 5 grams of soluble fiber, and a belly-supporting blend of essential oils - Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary.
Why We Love Daily Prebiotic Fiber
- Contains 6 grams of plant-based prebiotics and 5 grams of soluble fiber
- Aids in the body's natural detoxification process
- Helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome
- Easy on the stomach and well tolerated by those with digestion sensitivity
- Promotes healthy postbiotics in the gut
- Contains D. Gary Young's original essential oil blend of Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary essential oils
- Helps you feel full longer
- Supports cardiovascular health and immune system
Gut Health & Overall Health
Did you know that over 75% of your immune system is in your gut? Sounds so wild, but it is true. This is yet another reason why a healthy, happy belly is of utmost importance!
If you're thinking that you don't feel bad, don't have dietary sensitivities and feel like your gut is just fine, you could still be experiencing symptoms of gut inflammation and imbalance (dysbiosis). Lots of things in our daily life can result in tiny holes in the gut lining, creating a ‘leaky gut.' This is a huge topic of medical study and one for another day, but leaky gut can cause a whole host of symptoms. Some less straightforward symptoms include migraines, brain fog, joint pain, eczema, acne and emotional instability.
If this is you (and honestly even if it's not!) I challenge you to spend a minimum of 30 days eating low-inflammatory foods, moving your body, taking Life 9 and Daily Prebiotic Fiber and seeing how these things change! Bonus points for adding in 2-4 ounces of NingXia Red each day.
Daily Prebiotic Fiber contains powerful ingredients like agave inulin, guar gum, and prickly pear cactus extract that work synergistically (1+1=3) with Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary essential oils to dexotify the gut and promote a healthy environment for bacterial balance. Pairing Daily Prebiotic Fiber with Life 9 is ideal. Daily Prebiotic Fiber creates a clean, happy home for the diverse bacteria of the Life 9 probiotic!
Plus, the ingredients in Daily Prebiotic Fiber provide 6 grams of plant-based prebiotics and 5 grams of soluble fiber. Prebiotics and fiber are crucial for overall gut health and digestive mobility - ease of things moving through which is definitely what we want! As well as overall cardiovascular and immune system health.
Overall, Daily Prebiotic Fiber is an ideal way to maintain a healthy gut microbiome, aid in the body's natural detoxification process, promote healthy postbiotics in the gut, and even help you feel full longer. If that's not a win, I don't know what is!
Daily Habits for Gut Health
- Avoid inflammatory foods
- Eat whole, nutrient dense foods
- Move your body gently first thing in the morning (yoga, sun salutations, stretching)
- Avoid commercial seed oils (canola oil, sunflower seed oil, etc.)
- Take a high quality probiotic like Life 9
- Eat prebiotic foods like garlic, onions, and NingXia wolfberries
- Take Daily Prebiotic Fiber
Gut Health & Emotions
It may seem strange to link gut health with emotions, but there is a big reason why the two things are connected.
We've all heard about serotonin, especially since it is one of our ‘happy' hormones along with dopamine. Serotonin is the control switch for the body and brain's neurotransmitters. It helps us regulate our emotions from excited and energetic to calm and focused, so when levels are too low, problems can certainly arise.
Serotonin is produced in the brain (this is what we hear about a lot with mental health needs), but a large amount is also produced in the digestive system. So much so that our gut is called the ‘second brain.' In fact, almost 90% of the serotonin in our bodies is produced by the peripheral nervous system in the gut. WOW.
So many things impact the gut's ability to produce and maintain adequate levels of serotonin. A few of these include food sensitivities and allergies, acute and chronic stress, gut flora imbalances, yeast overgrowth, acute and chronic illness, conventional medication and antibiotic use. Some of these things are within our control to change and others we have to simply support and rebuild the gut after experiencing. Acute needs are definitely going to require work, but the real ticket to health is in daily actions!
Often when we crave foods high in sugar or white flour, we are innately trying to regulate low serotonin levels. These foods may give us a quick pick me up, but they also lead to a crash shortly after. BUT. There are many ways we can support the gut (second brain remember!) daily to maintain adequate serotonin (among other important things). Adding Daily Prebiotic Fiber to your daily wellness routine is a great way to support your gut on a daily basis!
To Use Daily Prebiotic Fiber
- Mix 1 scoop in 8 ounces of water or juice once daily.
- Take in the morning 30 minutes before meals on an empty stomach.
- Enjoy with water, NingXia Red, or juice

Green Omega-3
Supplement Spotlight
Say hello to this vegan omega-3 supplement that serves up essential fatty acids from algal oil (algae!) instead of fish oil to support your heart, brain, eyes, and immune system. A plant-based source of omega-3 has so many benefits over traditional fish-based sources – less impact on the marine ecosystem, reduced potential for marine contaminants, and a product without a fishy smell or aftertaste. All the good stuff, none of the bad!
Green Omega-3 at a Glance
- Supports heart and circulatory health
- Supports normal, healthy brain function and mood
- Excellent source of necessary fatty acids
- Great for getting and keeping a healthy immune response and antioxidant levels
- Promotes healthy eye, skin, bone and joint health
- Supports metabolic health and a healthy inflammatory response
- Sustainable vegetarian and vegan-friendly formula
Compared to other vegan omega-3 supplements, Green Omega 3 softgels contain one of the highest amounts of DHA and EPA. Each serving packs 330 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and 160 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) from a pure plant source - marine algae. This incredible formula also contains flaxseed oil, which is naturally rich in ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), and Clove essential for its antioxidant properties. Together, these plant- based ingredients give you all the benefits of fish oil supplements without the fishy aftertaste!
The Importance of Omega-3s
The health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids have been well-studied and established, and almost all physicians will recommend an omega-3 supplement! Omega-3s are synonymous with heart health, have a reputation for being anti-inflammatory, and help the body reduce blood clots. DHA and EPA also help reduce triglyceride levels – a specific type of cholesterol that can turn into blood clots.
The brain and eyes are also highly enriched with omega-3 fatty acids, making DHA and EPA critical for healthy cognitive function and eyesight. In fact, a natural treatment for macular degeneration is an omega-3 fatty acid capsule that contains EPA and DHA because it helps relieve intraocular pressure.
The brain is made mostly of fat, and it functions especially well with high levels of EPA and DHA. These omega-3s the brain's communication processes and reduce inflammation, which can help slow aging. This means you have more mental clarity, a better memory, easier decision making, and a better mood when you have enough omegas!
Omegas also help to reduce inflammation – a main culprit for many of the most common ailments we face. Preliminary studies suggest that omega-3s may even help improve symptoms of osteoarthritis and joint pain!
Omega 3s and Pregnancy
But omega-3s aren't just for those who want healthy hearts! Omega-3 requirements increase during pregnancy in order to aid brain growth, especially as it accelerates during the second half of pregnancy and continues through birth.
And these omegas aren't just for the growing babe. Moms need them too, especially during postpartum healing. Did you know that omegas can help with our moods? Getting enough good fatty acids like EPA and DHA go a long way when it comes to recovery – physical, mental and emotion!
Green Omega 3 Key Ingredients
- Algal oil - a plant-based source of DHA and EPA, derived from algae; DHA accounts for 97% of the omega-3 fats in the human brain, making it critical for cognitive function and heart, brain and eye health.
- Flaxseed oil - rich in omega-3 fatty acids in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a well-researched fatty acid that promotes heart health and helps decrease the incidence of cardiovascular disease; contains 50- 60% ALA, making it even more anti-inflammatory than fish oil
- Clove essential oil - an antioxidant powerhouse that supports the body from the inside out; has the highest ORAC value (antioxidant value) of all know foods and plants to help reduce inflammation, support organ health, promote longevity, and maintain overall wellness.
Full Ingredient List
Algal (Schizochytrium sp.) oil, Tapioca starch, Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) oil, Glycerin, Water, Clove† (Syzygium aromaticum) flower bud essential oil, Vitamin E (as d-alpha-tocopherol)
Why a Plant-Based Formula
Algae are easy to grow, requiring only sunlight, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and phosphorus, making algae farming one of the few operations with a neutral carbon footprint. And they are a wonderful source of the EPA and DHA that make fish oil so healthy for our bodies!
As the world's population grows and puts pressure on wild fisheries, alternative plant-based sources of omega-3s, like algal oil, are becoming increasingly popular. Algal oil provides a sustainable way to supplement your nutritional needs and positively impacts the planet.
How to Use Green Omega-3
Adults 18 years and older: Take 2 softgels daily.

Thieves Dish Soap
When it comes to cleaning products for our homes and families, we want to make sure we have effective but non-toxic options, and the Thieves Home Line from YL is our go-to for all our cleaning needs. For dishwashing (and other great cleaning!) Thieves Dish Soap is tough on the grease and grime, gentle on our hands, and has a fresh, citrus scent - it's the perfect kitchen sink companion!
Why We Love It
- Natural, plant-based ingredients clean dishes without harsh chemical residue
- Tough on grease and grime but gentle enough to use on baby bottles
- Natural cleansing agents decyl glucoside and lauryl glucoside offer a superior clean while being gentle on hands
- Free of sulfates, dyes, phosphates, and synthetic perfumes
- Can also be used as a spot treatment for laundry stains!
- Works wonders with Thieves Household Cleaner to clean almost anything.
If you want a dish soap that cuts the grease, doesn't leave your dishes with a scented residue, and is gentle on your hands, then Thieves Dish Soap is perfect for you! This cleaning powerhouse is free of the typical sulfates, dyes, and synthetics found in many dish soaps, and the plant-based formula leaves no harsh chemical residues - on your dishes or on your skin. The gentle but powerful formula prevents over-drying of skin and will leave your dishes sparkling clean. Plus, a little goes a long way, and this bottle can up your cleaning game in the rest of the house too!
Thieves Dish Soap vs. Conventional OptionsHave you heard the term ‘greenwashing'? It is when companies throw catch phrases or use certain packaging to trick consumers into thinking they are purchasing a natural product, when in reality, what they are buying isn't natural at all. Unfortunately the majority of the ‘natural' cleaning brands out there do this, which is a huge reason we love the Thieves Home products! No phthalates, parabens, bleach, formaldehyde, or toxic chemicals in these products - just the power of plants!
Another thing to note is that alllll those bubbles in your sink aren't actually cleaning your dishes any better. It is a trick called ‘pharmaceutical elegance' that acts as a visual cue to your brain to make you think you're getting a really clean sink of dishes. In reality, it doesn't make a difference. And when you switch to natural cleaning options, there are less bubbles because you're using plants instead of synthetic chemicals!
THE REAL F WORD…
Let's talk about the real “F word” - fragrance. Fragrance is a very loosely defined term when it comes to use in personal care and household products. Fragrance and synthetic perfumes are problematic because companies aren't required to disclose the exact ingredients in the fragrances. Even ‘natural fragrance' is problematic.
Just because something is natural, doesn't mean we want to rub it on our skin (ie: formaldehyde - a naturally occurring compound that we don't want on our skin!). As the world leader in essential oils, Young Living utilizes refreshing scents of the pure essential oils instead of fragrance!
Grab your Thieves Dish Soap and get sparkling clean dishes today!
TO USE
Dispense a small amount of soap with warm running water. Add additional soap as needed. Note: Because this soap uses plant-based surfactants, it will not bubble as much as conventional options. If you really want the extra bubbles, add 2 tsp baking soda directly to the bottle and mix well.
DISH SOAP STAIN REMOVER
- Apply a bit of undiluted dish soap directly to the stained area.
- Rub gently and let sit for a few minutes.
- Repeat if needed, then wash with your Thieves Laundry Soap as usual!
THIEVES THE DAY SHOWER BRUSH
- Thieves Household Cleaner

- Add 20 drops of Lemon to your wellness roller, dilute and apply it with R.C. as a chest rub, diffuse it, add 5 drops to 1 cup Epsom salt for a bath.
- Use Lemon in your cleaning DIYs, add 25 drops to Thieves Household Cleaner, add a couple drops to wool dryer balls for laundry.
Pine Essential OilPine is a wonderful emotional oil when it comes to presence and grounding, and it is also an immune powerhouse as well! Folklore touts pine needle tea as a great health habit in the winter, so we are stocking up on this one for sure.
- Add 20 drops of Pine to your daily wellness roller with Thieves, diffuse with Lemon, Thieves, Orange or other citrus oil, add 5 drops to Epsom salts for a detox bath. Just get this oil on and around your body as much as possible!
- Use Pine in your cleaning DIYs, add 15 drops to Thieves Household Cleaner, and add to your linen sprays.
R.C. Essential Oil BlendR.C. is a winter must! R.C. stands for ‘Respiratory Comfort' and for good reason. This soothing blend of eucalyptus oils is great for the airways. The soothing aroma is a favorite during the cold weather months, but we love it year round creating a spa-inspired setting.
- Use 10 drops of R.C. in 2 Tbsp coconut oil for a simple chest rub.
- Diffuse with Lemon, Lavender or Thieves, apply a couple drops to the bottom of the feet, add 5 drops to Epsom salts for a soothing soak, drop onto the floor of the shower to open the airways.
Inner DefenseInner Defense are liquid softgels, which dissolve easily to reinforce your system's defenses, create unfriendly terrain for yeast/fungus, promote healthy respiratory function, and contain potent essential oils like oregano, thyme, and Thieves which are rich in thymol, carvacrol, and eugenol for immune support. In short, these powerhouse capsules provide a defense for your body!
- Take 1 softgel each morning for maintenance. Take with food, especially healthy fat. For best results, use Life 9 supplement 8 hours after using Inner Defense.
- Take 1 softgel 3−5 times daily for more acute needs. (Pro tip: for younger children, use a needle to poke a hole in the capsule and rub it along their spine, bottom of the feet!)
Sulfurzyme Capsules or PowderSulfurzyme combines wolfberry with MSM, a naturally occurring organic form of dietary sulfur needed by our bodies every day to maintain the structure of proteins, protect cells and cell membranes, replenish the connections between cells, and preserve the molecular framework of connective tissue. This supplement not only supports digestion, it promotes healthy hair, skin, nails, joints and immunity!
- Take 2 capsules 2 times daily or as needed 1 hour before or after meals.
- Mix ½ tsp. of powder with NingXia Red or distilled water and take twice daily. Best taken 1 hour before or after meals.
Golden TurmericGolden Turmeric is a delicious mango rose turmeric drink that supports the body's natural response to inflammation, immune response, joint health, mobility, and recovery after exercise. YL's Golden Turmeric is infused with essential oils and boswellia resin, making it 24 times more bioavailable than standard turmeric extract. We love this supplement year round, but it is especially important when you're ramping up your fitness routine.
- Mix ½ teaspoon in 6–8 ounces of water, juice, or milk of choice once daily.
NingXia RedIt's no secret that we are crazy about NingXia Red. Use this incredible supplement for 30 consecutive days and you'll see why!
Honestly, we're better people when we drink it. Sound a little far-fetched? Think about it. Do cars run better when fueled by the right gas? Yep. Yet we often expect our bodies to run on second-rate, processed, non-fuel. We get worn out, our digestive systems get tired, our cells get dirty, and we need something we can assimilate quickly and easily to go to work. NingXia gives our bodies the boost that we need!

DIY Lemon Ginger Cough Drops
While we are big fans of the Thieves Cough Drops, sometimes you just want something a little different. Try these simple homemade cough drops with lemon, ginger, and clove! This combination can help soothe a sore throat and suppress coughs naturally. Recipe is adapted from Hello Glow.
Supplies Needed:
- Small saucepan
- Baking sheet
- Unbleached parchment paper
- Candy thermometer (optional)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup organic coconut or granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon raw honey (ideally local honey)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 5 drops Lemon Vitality
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger (can add more for taste)
- 2 drops Ginger Vitality
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1 drop Clove Vitality
- Powdered sugar or cornstarch for coating
Directions:
- Gather your ingredients, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine all ingredients except the powdered sugar/cornstarch in a saucepan and heat to 300F. Whisk frequently while cooking to prevent sticking and check the coloring and consistency of the solution.
- After about 10-20 minutes, test the consistency by dropping a small of the solution amount into ice water. If the cough drop cracks, the solution is ready. If it is still chewy, then cook the mixture for 5 more minutes. Repeat as needed.
- Remove from the heat completely, add essential oils, and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Then, drop small circles onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust lightly with powdered sugar or cornstarch (to prevent sticking together). Alternatively, wrap each cough drop in wax paper. Store in an airtight container away from heat or moisture.
