Grapefruit Vitality Essential Oil

A natural cross of the pomelo and the sweet orange, grapefruit likely originated in Jamaica before spreading to America and throughout citrus-growing areas. Today this evergreen tree is cultivated in the United States, South Africa, Brazil, and Israel.

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

DiGize Essential Oil

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.

See the DiGize Spotlight for TONS of ways to use this oil!

Citronella Essential Oil

Citronella is well know for its love of the outdoors (but not the outdoor annoyances!), but did you know that this lemony oil is also incredibly versatile? It's one of the main ingredients in the Purification oil blend, so anytime you'd use Purification, try Citronella. Citronella is cleansing and purifying, making it great for cleaning, gentle detoxing and clarifying. It is also a great addition to massage oil for supporting healthy circulation and the body's natural response to tension.

Summer often means lots of time in damp places. Give your feet a little daily TLC and protect them with this Happy Feet Blend. Make as a roller (use fractionated coconut oil or V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex as the carrier) or as a cream to apply after a day at the pool in a public shower.
