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
Daily Habits with Abundance

Diffuse as you work, read, and contact others.

Dab onto letters, packages, and envelopes you are sending out to business contacts.

Apply to your wrists and over your heart as you pray over your team, your time, and your future in this business.

Put on the edges of your calendar and planner so that every time you are thinking of your time commitments, you are shifting to a viewpoint of abundance and choice.

Drop on a diffuser bracelet in your purse or wallet and stop thinking of money as something in short supply. Money will ALWAYS be there and there will be ways to attain it. TIME? That's the one you guard. Use your time to find ways to pursue freedom and residual income where your money works FOR YOU.

Make a daily perfume or cologne roller:
  • Abundance, Tangerine, Hope
  • Abundance, Lavender, Frankincense
  • Abundance, Vetiver, Bergamot
  • Abundance, Vanilla, Lavender
Place 1-2 drops of Abundance on the crown of your head each day to focus your intention on hope and vitality.

Make a daily Gratitude Roller:
  • 10 drops Joy 
  • 7 drops Orange
  • 5 drops Abundance
    Top with a carrier oil and roll on liberally + frequently!
Make DIY Oil-Infused Shower Melts
  • 1 cup Baking Soda 
  • 1/2 cup High Quality Epsom Salt  
  • 30 drops Abundance
  • Water (about 2-3 teaspoons)
  • Silicone mold 
    Step 1 - Pour the baking soda and epsom salt into a mixing bowl. Slowly add water, about 2 teaspoons, and mix well. If the mixture is not holding, add another teaspoon of water.
    Step 2 - Add essential oil(s) of your choice and mix well. Scoop into silicone molds and let sit overnight. Remove and store in an airtight container.
    To use - simply place a shower melt on the floor of the shower near the water but not directly in the stream. Enjoy!
Make a DIY Whipped Body Butter

  • 1/2 cup pure organic shea butter

    Step 1 - Melt together coconut oil, shea butter and cocoa butter, then add in vitamin E oil and whisk.

DeepSpectra Frankincense2 Spotlight - Convention 2024

Deep Spectra Frankincense Spotlight


Take your everyday wellness to the next level with DeepSpectra Frankincense2! This Young Living exclusive technology is a unique and brilliant fusion of Frankincense essential oil and frankincense resin compounds. When blended together, these two create a powerhouse wellness tool that supports overall longevity and a healthy immune system!

Just a Drop of Frankincense2

  • Combines frankincense essential oil and frankincense resin
  • One of a kind product and technology exclusive to Young Living
  • Supports general wellness, digestive health, and a healthy immune system
  • Has antioxidant properties that help support immunity and vitality
  • Supports a healthy inflammatory response
  • Features a softly spicy, exotic flavor
DeepSpectra Frankincense2 is more than just another essential oil - it's a revolution in wellness. Meticulously created using a patents-pending DeepSpectra technology, Frankincense2 results from using Frankincense essential oil in an innovative way to extract key therapeutic compounds from frankincense resin. These compounds include boswellic acids, which are renowned for their health benefits like protecting cells and helping lower and even prevent inflammation.

Background

As the industry leader in essential oils and essential oil science, it's no surprise that Young Living has done it again! Meet DeepSpectra Technology – a cutting edge technology that uses distinct characteristics of essential oils to attract additional compounds from the plant. The final product contains an enriched array of organic plant compounds that give us even more incredible benefits from these oils!  

DeepSpectra Technology

This patents-pending process is the culmination of decades of research and development. Young Living only uses carefully selected (and often upcycled) plant material that's rich in beneficial compounds. A carefully selected Young Living essential oil is combined with this plant material and used as the extraction fluid.

The extraction is then enhanced by applying an optimal energy source to the mixture. The result is a unique combination of essential oil and extract of even more beneficial compounds of the plant. DeepSpectra technology creates a new era of essential oil extracts.

DeepSpectra Frankincense2 v. Frankincense Essential Oil

DeepSpectra Frankincense2 contains all the benefits of Frankincense essential oil, plus additional beneficial compounds from frankincense resin that are not present in steam or hydro-distilled essential oil. DeepSpectra Frankincense2 extract also has a thicker and stickier consistency than Frankincense essential oil alone.

DeepSpectra Frankincense2 has the characteristic smell of Frankincense oil but with a deeper, richer aroma reminiscent of frankincense resin. And while Frankincense is intended for topical use, diffusing, and ingesting, DeepSpectra Frankincense2 is intended for ingestion only.

Key Constituents

  • Alpha-pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown alpha-pinene to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind
  • Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
  • Sabinene - a constituent known to enhance the effects of other compounds; helps fight oxidative damage and reduce inflammation
Ingredients

  • Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) resin oil - well documented for its ability to reduce inflammation, promote healing, protect against cellular damage, improve immune system response, and help mitigate pain.
  • Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) resin extract - well documented for its ability to reduce inflammation, promote healing, protect against cellular damage, improve immune system response, and help mitigate pain.
Daily Habits with DeepSpectra Frankincense2

Frankincense2's antioxidant properties make it an easy and efficient addition to your daily routine as a dietary supplement, promoting general wellness and supporting a healthy immune system. For optimal use, simply take it in a veggie capsule or blend it into your morning NingXia Red drink.

Take it as a dietary supplement by adding 1–2 drops to a vegetarian capsule. Take up to 3 times daily.

Pair with NingXia Red or NingXia Zyng or a glass of water with honey.

Try this Daily Vitality Tonic
  • 2-4 oz NingXia Red
  • 2 drops DeepSpectra Frankincense2 
  • ½ tsp Golden Turmeric powder
  • 5 droppersful Mineral Essence
  • Water as desired
Because DeepSpectra Frankincense2 extract contains additional compounds that are not found in Frankincense essential oil and are not carried easily via vapor or steam, it is not recommended for diffusion. For full effect, ingestion is recommended.

Learn about everything from convention and create amazing new health habits with the new products released this month!

Lavender Legacy Collection Spotlight - Convention 2024

Lavender Legacy Collection Spotlight


This collection of the world's best lavender that helps you stroll down Lavender Memory Lane. Highlight the milestones of Young Living history – cultivating true lavender, pioneering distilling techniques, working with natural pollinators, and more. 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
  • Soothes seasonal respiratory needs
  • Creates a tranquil environment when diffused or applied topically
  • May help ease occasional nervous tension and improve sleep quality for occasional sleeplessness
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

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.

Super Magnesium Spotlight - Convention 2024

Super Magnesium Spotlight

image
Did you know that magnesium is a core building block for your health? It is involved in over 300 processes within the body! And almost all of us aren't getting enough of it. BUT a good quality, sustainably sourced magnesium supplement that is easily absorbed by the body is almost impossible to find… but we have it! 

Say hello to Super Magnesium! Super Magnesium gets the job done with better distribution, higher available levels of magnesium, and fewer capsules.

Super Magnesium at a Glance

  • Supports a restful night's sleep and a calm nervous system
  • Promotes healthy organ function
  • Reduces oxidative stress on the body as a whole
  • Contains melon juice concentrate to increase magnesium efficiency in the body (sends the magnesium where it needs to go!) and reduce oxidative stress and fatigue
  • Decreases physical fatigue while supporting an active lifestyle and normal energy levels
  • Promotes overall well-being when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle
  • Vegan and vegetarian formula is gluten, tree nut, sesame, corn and soy-free
This mighty supplement is sustainably sourced from seawater with a variety of trace minerals and formulated with melon juice concentrate, which reduces oxidative stress and increases magnesium efficiency in the body. Super Magnesium combines the power of bioavailable (read: easily absorbable) magnesium from the Irish Sea with the power of melon juice concentrate and Bergamot essential oil to maintain healthy magnesium levels in the body all day long. In short, this supplement helps your body win! 

Background

Just as sleep is a core foundation for your health, magnesium is a core supplement your body needs to stay healthy! Did you know that magnesium naturally helps your body produce the sleep hormone melatonin? The two Ms go hand in hand!

Sleep is a critical part of our health. Getting enough sleep helps reduce inflammation, make it easier to maintain a healthy weight, and improves everything from mental health to memory. Research suggests that quality sleep is vital for clearing toxins, regulating mood, and maintaining your immune system. Sleep is an incredibly important and often overlooked part of our health routine!

As more research has been done on sleep, we have learned that our bodies have a pseudo-lymphatic system that is designed specifically to clear waste and toxins from the brain while also replenishing essential neurotransmitters (dopamine and serotonin, anyone??). It's the glymphatic system, and guess when it is the most active and doing the most work to?? While you sleep!

In fact, many things affect this system – sleep position, alcohol intake, exercise, omega-3 consumption, intermittent fasting and chronic stress all affect the lymphatic system's clearance of waste and toxins.

So it just makes sense to add Super Magnesium to your daily supplement line-up!

Key Ingredients

  • Melon Juice Concentrate - protects magnesium levels within the body and distributes magnesium to areas of higher metabolic need; increases magnesium efficiency within the body; reduces oxidative stress and fatigue; sustainably sourced from fruit fields in France
  • Magnesium (hydroxide & citrate) - helps calm the nervous system and promotes restful sleep; involved in over 300 bodily processes; essential to energy, vitality, and overall health and wellness
  • Bergamot essential oil - uplifts the emotions and senses and helps ease anxious feelings; helps lower cortisol levels and soothes the nervous system's fight/flight/freeze response; contains antioxidants that help support a healthy lifestyle; helps support the cardiovascular system
Magnesium Salts

While there are many forms of magnesium out there (often called magnesium salts), Super Magnesium intentionally features magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate for several reasons. Magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate are considered highly bioavailable -- they are easily absorbed and utilized within the body. Combining these magnesium salts with melon juice concentrate increases the efficiency of these two types of magnesium and their ability to target areas of the body where they're needed most!

The type of magnesium ingested is actually not as critical as many would have you believe. When you ingest magnesium in any form, it ends up in the stomach first. The stomach  is a very acidic environment and the magnesium salt breaks down into  magnesium ions. These ions are  is what is absorbed.

Young Living's goal in choosing a magnesium salt was to find the cleanest, most natural source possible with no contaminants. That led them to magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate sourced from natural sea water.

Most research studies show magnesium's impact requires a dose of around 300 mg. The magnesium sources chosen for this supplement allow for a full 300 mg dose of magnesium in three small “0” size capsules. This is definitely a difference between Super Magnesium and many other options! 

WHY do these types of magnesium fit into smaller capsules? Let's look at magnesium glycinate. A mere 8% of magnesium glycinate is actual magnesium. We'd need three times as much of that kind of magnesium to achieve the same benefit—you'd have to take nine capsules of it!

Also, the magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate used in Super Magnesium are sourced from the clean waters of the Irish Sea. This provides a sustainable source of magnesium and minimizes the carbon footprint of production.

How to Use Super Magnesium

  • From a.m. to p.m., Super Magnesium supplement supports healthy energy levels, a calm nervous system, and a restful night's sleep as you begin to wind down. If you are on the lookout for one supplement that does it all, make it Super Magnesium!
  • Take 1 capsule 3 times daily; can be taken with or without food. Safe for ages 14 and above.
  • Looking for a dynamic duo? Pair Deep Night Essence with daily Super Magnesium!
Simplify Your Sleep Routine

Looking for better rest with minimal prep? Three products, amazing sleep.

The 5 Minute Sleep Routine
  • Take Super Magnesium three times a day
  • Take 2 Deep Night Essence capsules 30 minutes before bedtime. 
  • Diffuse your favorite sleep-inducing oil (we recommend Peace & Calming, Cedarwood or Mastrante!). 
  • Then say hello to the deep zzzz's you need!
30 Minutes to Better Rest Routine
  • Take 2 Deep Night Essence capsules 30 minutes before bedtime. If possible, turn off all screens at this time! (1 minute)
  • Stretch and/or meditate and take Super Magnesium capsules to help calm the nervous system. (6 minutes)

  • Fire up your diffuser with calming scents. (3 minutes)
  • Drop into bed and rest well, then wake up ready to tackle the day!

Deep Night Essence Spotlight - Convention 2024

Deep Night Essence

image
Sleep is a vital part of our health, so when sleep is elusive or hard to maintain things go downhill quickly! As science uncovers more about the importance of sleep, we need a support option we can use long-term without worrying about side effects and drowsiness. Enter Deep Night Essence! This non-drowsy, melatonin-free sleep supplement can help you get the sleep you need!

Deep Night Essence at a Glance
  • Delivers nightly, melatonin-free support for a more restful sleep
  • Designed for daily, long-term use
  • Helps ease stress and promote relaxation without causing drowsiness
  • Contains a blend of spearmint and green tea extracts, which support concentration, cognitive function, and visual recall
  • Promotes overall well-being when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle
  • Formula is vegetarian and vegan-friendly and free from corn, soy, tree nuts, and sesame
Background

Sleep is a critical part of our health, both for everyday wellness and when acute needs arise. Getting enough sleep helps reduce inflammation, make it easier to maintain a healthy weight, and improves everything from mental health to memory. Research suggests that quality sleep is vital for clearing toxins, regulating mood, and maintaining your immune system. Sleep is an incredibly important and often overlooked part of our health routine!

As more research has been done on sleep, we have learned that our bodies have a pseudo-lymphatic system that is designed specifically to clear waste and toxins from the brain while also replenishing essential neurotransmitters (dopamine and serotonin, anyone??). It's the glymphatic system, and guess when it is the most active and doing the most work to?? While you sleep!

In fact, many things affect this system – sleep position, alcohol intake, exercise, omega-3 consumption, intermittent fasting and chronic stress all affect the lymphatic system's clearance of waste and toxins.

Deep Night Essence helps us to support this innate system's work and natural sleep cycles, so you can wake up ready to tackle the day!

Key Ingredients

  • Spearmint and green tea extracts - clinically proven to promote more restful sleep (twice the restful sleep versus without it); improves concentration, normal cognitive function, visual recall, and processing (aka brain power!) by five times – up to 60%!
  • Holy basil extract - known for calming properties; supports the body's response to stress and supports the immune system
  • Lemon balm extract (also known as Melissa) - supports the body's natural response to stress and the immune system
  • Lavender essential oil - supports sleep quality during restlessness; calming and relaxing to the mind and body
  • Spearmint essential oil - supports overall wellness
Why Melotnin-Free

Melatonin is typically the first thing we reach for when we need some help with sleep, and while it is a wonderful option, it is not intended for long term use. 

Melatonin is naturally produced in our body and is a vital part of our circadian rhythm. It's released to signal to the body that it's time to go to sleep, but it also impacts so much more – body temperature, blood sugar, and blood vessel tone (how constricted or relaxed the blood vessels are at any time). It is actually a really important hormone for our health!

BUT...

We want our bodies to continue making their own melatonin. And when we continue with melatonin long-term, our bodies will begin to make less of it – which is not what we want! So while a good short-term support tool, melatonin isn't intended for long-term use. Which is why Deep Night Essence uses a clean herbal formula for a complex job!

How to Use Deep Night Essence

Deep Night Essence offers a nature-based, long-term solution to support healthy sleep habits over time. Unlike short-term sleep aids, it won't cause any drowsy side effects the next day!

  • Take 2 capsules nightly.
  • Looking for a dynamic duo? Pair Deep Night Essence with daily Super Magnesium!

As science uncovers more about the importance of sleep, we need daily support in multiple areas, including options we can use long-term without worrying about side effects and drowsiness. And Young Living has delivered for us! Check out these simple, effective tips and routines to achieve better sleep (and therefore better health!).

Better Sleep at a Glance

  • Two supplements specifically designed to give you the great sleep you need – Deep Night Essence & Super Magnesium
  • Option to add on clinically proven NingXia Red for multiple health benefits
  • Habits that improve physical, mental, and emotional health
  • A simple routine that you can implement immediately
  • A safe option for long-term sleep support (melatonin-free)
  • Promotes overall well-being and health in general
Background

Sleep is a critical part of our health, both for everyday wellness and when acute needs arise. Getting enough sleep helps reduce inflammation, make it easier to maintain a healthy weight, and improves everything from mental health to memory. Research suggests that quality sleep is vital for clearing toxins, regulating mood, and maintaining your immune system. Sleep is an incredibly important and often overlooked part of our health routine!

As more research has been done on sleep, we have learned that our bodies have a pseudo-lymphatic system that is designed specifically to clear waste and toxins from the brain while also replenishing essential neurotransmitters (dopamine and serotonin, anyone??). It's the glymphatic system, and guess when it is the most active and doing the most work to?? While you sleep!

In fact, many things affect this system – sleep position, alcohol intake, exercise, omega-3 consumption, intermittent fasting and chronic stress all affect the lymphatic system's clearance of waste and toxins.

Deep Night Essence helps us to support this innate system's work and natural sleep cycles, so you can wake up ready to tackle the day!

THEN when you layer on a daily magnesium supplement in the form of Super Magnesium, you are preparing your body to rest well in the evenings.

Why no Melatonin?

Melatonin is typically the first thing we reach for when we need some help with sleep, and while it is a wonderful option, it is not intended for long term use. 

Melatonin is naturally produced in our body and is a vital part of our circadian rhythm. It's released to signal to the body that it's time to go to sleep, but it also impacts so much more – body temperature, blood sugar, and blood vessel tone (how constricted or relaxed the blood vessels are at any time). It is actually a really important hormone for our health!

BUT...

We want our bodies to continue making their own melatonin. And when we continue with melatonin long-term, our bodies will begin to make less of it – which is not what we want! So while a good short-term support tool, melatonin isn't intended for long-term use. Which is why the combination of Deep Night Essence and Super Magnesium is a winning combo!

30 Minutes to Better Sleep Routine

  • Promote more restful sleep - Take 2 Deep Night Essence capsules 30 minutes before bedtime. If possible, turn off all screens at this time! (1 minute)
  • Unwind from daily stressors - Stretch and/or meditate and take Super Magnesium capsules to help calm the nervous system. (6 minutes)
  • Lower your body temperature to prepare for rest - (We sleep better when our bodies are cool!) Take a warm bath to boost blood flow to the skin and increase heat loss (bonus for using calming oils like Lavender, Frankincense, or Peace & Calming or the Stress Away Bath Bombs). (20 minutes)
  • Create a slumber sanctuary - Fill up your diffuser with calming scents and start diffusing. (3 minutes)
  • Drop into bed and rest well, then wake up ready to tackle the day!
And when you're ready to dive into more healthy sleep habits, grab some NingXia Red to add to your supplement routine (a delicious supplement clinically proven to give you better rest, more energy, and better mental clarity!) and an Aroma Connect Wake Up Light Diffuser! This diffuser is our favorite for creating healthy sleep routines. You can choose two oils to diffuse, combine the wonderful effects of aromatherapy, light, sound, and an alarm. Create your own diffusing routine – one oil for the morning (imagine waking up to the uplifting scent of Peppermint) and one for the evening (wind down with relaxing Lavender) OR a combo to use together. There is truly no better way to give your health the gift of sleep!

Need to take a smaller step and make a simple, easy switch to improve your sleep routine? Try this…

The 5 Minute Sleep Routine

  1. Take Super Magnesium three times a day
  2. Take 2 Deep Night Essence capsules 30 minutes before bedtime
  3. Diffuse your favorite sleep-inducing oil (we recommend Peace & Calming, Cedarwood or Mastrante)
  4. Then say hello to the deep zzzz's you need!

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

Oils & Exotic Animals - July 2024

Essential Oils & Exotic Animals

image
Essential oils can be a huge benefit to our animals – including ferrets, frogs, snakes, lizards and more! In fact, in a healthy environment, animals come into contact with essential oils naturally as they graze, consume herbs, and scratch against trees. We can harness all that plant power to give them amazing tools for their health. Whether you need acute support for a specific need, daily maintenance for overall health, or want to prevent the bumps in the road, there are so many ways oils can help!

Oils & Exotic Animals at a Glance

  • Start by placing a drop of oil on your hands and allowing your pet to sniff.
  • Remember animals have heightened smell, so a little goes a long way. 
  • Dilute for small animals as much as you would for cats (Oils & Cats Spotlight), if not more.
  • Exotic animals tend to like citrus oils, so introducing one of them first will likely allow the animal to prefer other oils.
  • When adding oil to your pet's water, make sure to have a fresh water option available as well.

  • For furry animals like ferrets, you can use similar applications as for small cats (Oils & Cats Spotlight).
  • For other exotic animals, a water-based diffusion or spray method is more ideal. Water animals like lizards, frogs, or turtles absorb oils in the same way as fish – from plant matter within their water. One simple way to do this is to add a drop of citrus oil (Orange, Lemon, Citrus Fresh) to their drinking water (in a large container).

  • For exotics in general (furry or not), 1 drop of oil for every quart of water OR for smaller animals or more dilution, you can dip a toothpick into the oil and swirl it in a quart of water.
  • For amphibians, 1 toothpick of an oil (Purification is a good one), for every liter of water and allow them to soak.
  • Misting is a great option for the hairless exotics! For small animals like amphibians, 1 toothpick or 1 drop of oil per 1 liter of water. For larger reptiles, up to 4 drops of oil for every 4 ounces of water.
When it comes to reptiles, remember that like most other animals, they are much more sensitive to scents and tastes than humans. Even handling a reptile (or other fur-less exotic animal) with oil residue on your hands may be overwhelming to some. One simple way to test your animal's response to an oil is to place 1 drop somewhere in the animal's environment and note their reaction. 
Reptiles and other hairless animals also have more sensitive skin, so remember to introduce oils slowly and keep them diluted until the animal is comfortable with the oil(s).

Skin Soothing Soak

  • Infuse 1 pint of magnesium flakes or epsom salt with 15 drops Lavender
  • Add 1 Tablespoon of mixture to a quart of warm water and soak for stuck sheds, minor injuries, scrapes, etc.
Animal Scents Line

Using oils on and around your animals is absolutely ok when done correctly. In fact, Young Living has an entire animal care line that is perfect for our four legged, furry pals!

  • Animal Scents ParaGize Oil Blend
    A settling, cleansing blend of Ginger, Anise, and Peppermint essential oils great for any digestive needs. This relaxing, soothing blend can be applied to your pet's abdomen or diffused to support your pet with its comforting properties.
  • Animal Scents T-Away Oil Blend
    So many of our pets experience emotional trauma that can often leave them with debilitating needs. Animal Scents T-Away is our go-to for everything from storm anxiety to more complex emotional issues with our pets. Apply according to animal size, but in general apply 1 drop behind each ear to calm your pet.

This prediluted blend supports your pet's natural healing process by soothing and moisturizing dry, sensitive, and distressed skin. Plus the aroma of Lavender, Frankincense, Geranium, and more creates an uplifting environment and promotes feelings of health and wellness for your pet.
Common Favorites for Pets

  • Fleas, ticks, and pests - Citronella, Tea tree, Citronella, Animal Scents Ointment
  • Aches, pains, and inflammation - SulfurZyme, NingXia Red, Helichrysum, Copaiba
  • Emotions and trauma - Frankincense, Peace & Calming, Stress Away, Lavender
Quick Tips for Applying Oils

  • Apply one drop of your chosen oil to your hands and rub them together.  Hold your pet or allow them to sit close to you and get used to them. Do not try to force them to smell your hands or hold them. Let the animal approach you, and if they show interest in the area that has the oils let them sniff/approach at their own pace. 
  • Try the ‘Petting Method'. Simply apply an oil to your hands and gently “pet” your animal. The animal's hair will actually carry oils down the hair follicle into the skin. Only apply oils to a small part of the animal's coat or body initially. The oils will get where they need to go!
  • Always start with 1 drop of essential oil, and apply more often versus using more drops.
  • In general, avoid the eye area, unless this area is one of need. According to Dr. Melissa Shelton, DVM, in this case you can use a very diluted ‘eye spritzer' (ex: up to 4 drops of Lavender in 120 mL water) to mist around the eyes.
Tips for Diluting Oils for Exotic Animals

  • When using an oil for the first time or for pets under 20 lbs it's best to dilute with a 1:4 ratio or more. That's one drop of essential oil to 4 drops of carrier oil (like V-6 or coconut oil).  Apply oil(s) mid-spine to the tail and down the rear legs. Once animals are familiar with oils, they can be applied to the neck, head, outer ears, front legs, and so forth.
  • Always dilute “hot” oils like Oregano, Peppermint, Thieves, etc. You can always add more oil, so dilute more and apply more frequently versus diluting less.
Poultry Care

In today's society, many people have a backyard flock, and these amazing creatures can benefit so much from natural practices with essential oils and oil-infused products!

  • Use Animal Scents Ointment for cuts and scrapes as needed
  • Add 1 drop of Oregano and a splash of Apple Cider Vinegar to a large (5 gallon) water trough
Because of their anatomy, chickens breathe in higher concentrations of oxygen and whatever else is in the air, so diluting oils for them is key! One great way to keep your coop clean and let your chickens get the benefits of oils is to use this Natural Coop Cleaner Recipe:
  • 16 oz glass spray  bottle
  • 1 capful Thieves Household Cleaner
  • 25 drops Lemon essential oil
  • Fill halfway with white vinegar, then fill with water.
Animals & Supplements

Our animals need the nutritional support of good quality supplements, just like we do! And the same way that we start supplementing to maintain good health before a need arises, we want to do this for our animal friends.

Enter NingXia Red, Mineral Essence, and SulfurZyme (Spotlight). These three really wonderful supplements form a baseline for your furry friends to help keep them healthy and active. Another really great thing to give your pest is digestive enzymes!

  • Adding a round of Life 9 (Spotlight) after antibiotics, oral use of antimicrobial oils, severe diarrhea, or an infection is a wonderful way to support a healthy microbiome for your pets!
  • MultiGreens is a wonderful supplement to include for immune support, viral infections, and neurologic support.
  • NingXia Red (Spotlight #1, Spotlight #2) is amazing for SO many things.

Oils & Large Animals - July 2024

Essential Oils & Large Animals

Essential oils can be a huge benefit to our animals! In fact, in a healthy environment, horses and other large animals come into contact with essential oils naturally as they graze, consume herbs, and scratch against trees. We can harness all that plant power to give them amazing tools for their health. Whether you need acute support for a specific need, daily maintenance for overall health, or want to prevent the bumps in the road, there are so many ways oils can help!

Oils & Large Animals at a Glance

  • Start by placing a drop of oil on your hands and allowing your pet to sniff.
  • Remember animals have heightened smell, so a little goes a long way. 
  • In general, large animals (horses, mules, donkeys, mini horses, etc.) will use the same dose or dilution as humans (it's directly on the oil bottle!), though there are always species-specific considerations. Diluting is never a bad choice! Dilute more and apply more frequently. 
  • Animals with fair or red coats or have a finer bone structure may require more dilution. Also, after applying an oil, stay with the animal for 15-20 minutes to observe any discomfort. If they try to lick it off, are upset or anything, use more dilution.

Our animals need the nutritional support of good quality supplements, just like we do! And the same way that we start supplementing to maintain good health before a need arises, we want to do this for our animal friends.

Enter NingXia Red, Mineral Essence, and SulfurZyme (Spotlight). These three really wonderful supplements form a baseline for your furry friends to help keep them healthy and active. Another really great thing to give your pest is digestive enzymes!

  • Adding a round of Life 9 (Spotlight) after antibiotics, oral use of antimicrobial oils, severe diarrhea, or an infection is a wonderful way to support a healthy microbiome for your pets!
  • MultiGreens is a wonderful supplement to include for immune support, viral infections, and neurologic support.
  • NingXia Red (Spotlight #1, Spotlight #2) is amazing for SO many things. For horses and large animals, 1-2 oz daily, up to 4 oz during injury.

Oils & Farm Animals - July 2024

Essential Oils & Farm Animals

image
Essential oils can be a huge benefit to our animals! In fact, in a healthy environment, animals come into contact with essential oils naturally as they graze, consume herbs, and scratch against trees. We can harness all that plant power to give them amazing tools for their health. Whether you need acute support for a specific need, daily maintenance for overall health, or want to prevent the bumps in the road, there are so many ways oils can help!

Oils & Farm Animals at a Glance

  • Start by placing a drop of oil on your hands and allowing your pet to sniff.
  • Remember animals have heightened smell, so a little goes a long way. 
  • In general, large animals (horses, mules, donkeys, mini horses, etc.) will use the same dose or dilution as humans (it's directly on the oil bottle!), though there are always species-specific considerations. Diluting is never a bad choice! Dilute more and apply more frequently. 
  • Animals with fair or red coats or have a finer bone structure may require more dilution. Also, after applying an oil, stay with the animal for 15-20 minutes to observe any discomfort. If they try to lick it off, are upset or anything, use more dilution.
First-Aid Kit for Horses (or Other Large Animals)

  • Animal Scents Ointment
  • Purification, Peace & Calming
  • Tea Tree, Lavender, Helichrysum, Copaiba
  • Coconut oil for diluting
  • Mineral Essence, NingXia Red
  • Thieves Household Cleaner (for cleaning all the things!)
  • Epsom salts, wraps, adhesive bandages, etc.
Animal Scents Line

Using oils on and around your animals is absolutely ok when done correctly. In fact, Young Living has an entire animal care line that is perfect for our four legged, furry pals!

  • Animal Scents ParaGize Oil Blend
    A settling, cleansing blend of Ginger, Anise, and Peppermint essential oils great for any digestive needs. This relaxing, soothing blend can be applied to your pet's abdomen or diffused to support your pet with its comforting properties.
  • Animal Scents T-Away Oil Blend
    So many of our pets experience emotional trauma that can often leave them with debilitating needs. Animal Scents T-Away is our go-to for everything from storm anxiety to more complex emotional issues with our pets. Apply according to animal size, but in general apply 1 drop behind each ear to calm your pet.
The Three-Step System for Skincare

  1. Animal Scents PuriClean Oil Blend
    This is the first step in Young Living's three-part system to support pet recovery from minor scrapes and scratches. This prediluted blend refreshes and cleanses your pet's skin and prepares it for healing by moisturizing as well. PuriClean combines the skin-improvement properties of Patchouli, Mountain Savory, and other essential oils so that you can help your pet feel its best.
  2. Animal Scents Infect-Away Oil Blend
    This is step two of Young Living's three-part system to support your pet's skin healing. This prediluted blend includes Ocotea, Patchouli, Myrrh and other cleansing oils that help guard against harmful contaminants while supporting your pet's irritated coat or skin. Carefully apply according to the size and species of the animal. Additional dilution is recommended for smaller species. You can also put 8−10 drops in a 1-ounce spray bottle with distilled water for a quick skin-cleansing spritz. Best when used as part of a three-part system: PuriClean, followed by Infect Away, then Mendwell oil blend.
  3. Animal Scents MendWell Oil Blend
    This is step three of helping your pet heal and recover from minor scrapes and scratches. This prediluted blend supports your pet's natural healing process by soothing and moisturizing dry, sensitive, and distressed skin. Plus the aroma of Lavender, Frankincense, Geranium, and more creates an uplifting environment and promotes feelings of health and wellness for your pet.
Common Favorites for Pets

  • Fleas, ticks, and pests - Citronella, Tea tree, Citronella, Animal Scents Ointment
  • Aches, pains, and inflammation - SulfurZyme, NingXia Red, Helichrysum, Copaiba
  • Emotions and trauma - Frankincense, Peace & Calming, Stress Away, Lavender
Quick Tips for Applying Oils

  • Apply one drop of your chosen oil to your hands and rub them together.  Hold your pet or allow them to sit close to you and get used to them. Do not try to force them to smell your hands or hold them. Let the animal approach you, and if they show interest in the area that has the oils let them sniff/approach at their own pace. 
  • Try the ‘Petting Method'. Simply apply an oil to your hands and gently “pet” your animal. The animal's hair will actually carry oils down the hair follicle into the skin. Only apply oils to a small part of the animal's coat or body initially. The oils will get where they need to go!
  • Always start with 1 drop of essential oil, and apply more often versus using more drops.
  • In general, avoid the eye area, unless this area is one of need. According to Dr. Melissa Shelton, DVM, in this case you can use a very diluted ‘eye spritzer' (ex: up to 4 drops of Lavender in 120 mL water) to mist around the eyes.
Tips for Diluting Oils for Your Farm Animals

  • When using an oil for the first time or for pets under 20 lbs it's best to dilute with a 1:4 ratio or more. That's one drop of essential oil to 4 drops of carrier oil (like V-6 or coconut oil).  Apply oil(s) mid-spine to the tail and down the rear legs. Once animals are familiar with oils, they can be applied to the neck, head, outer ears, front legs, and so forth.
  • In general, for animals over 20 lbs use a 1:1 dilution ratio.
  • Always dilute “hot” oils like Oregano, Peppermint, Thieves, etc. You can always add more oil, so dilute more and apply more frequently versus diluting less.
Veterinarian Infection Suggestion

This is a great recipe for large animals (adapted from the Essential Oil Animal Desk Reference).
  • 2 oz NingXia Red
  • 10-15 drops Oregano
  • 8-13 drops Mountain Savory
  • 8-10 drops Lavender, Lemon, & Peppermint combined
  • 5 drops each Frankincense, Copaiba, & Evergreen Essence
    Add to a 14 oz container and top with purified water. Mix well and drench the animal with the solution

  • Supplements like NingXia Red (Spotlight #1, Spotlight #2), Sulfurzyme (Spotlight(great for larger breeds prone to inflammation!), and MightyZyme (Spotlight) are wonderful for dogs
Whether you are using oils for preventing or treating those pesky pests (hello Purification, Tea Tree, and Citronella), soothing cuts and scrapes and bites (Animal Scents trio!), adding essential nutrients to your pet's diet through supplements (NingXia Red, KidScents Mightyzyme, Sulfurzyme!), there are so many ways you can give your pets the best with the Young Living products you love!

Do not try to force them to smell your hands or hold them. Let the animal approach you, and if they show interest in the area that has the oils let them sniff/approach at their own pace. 
  • Diffuse your oils on the intermittent setting. Always ensure the animals aren't initially locked in a room and can come and go freely. Your pets should be able to leave the room at any time if they choose. Don't start the diffuser right over where they sleep initially, but only after they are comfortable with diffusing. If the animals pace or look at the diffuser often, they could be uncomfortable with the scent so just allow them to leave the area or add more water to the diffuser to dilute the scent further.
  • Try the ‘Petting Method'. Simply apply an oil to your hands and gently “pet” your animal. The animal's hair will actually carry oils down the hair follicle into the skin. Only apply oils to a small part of the animal's coat or body initially. The oils will get where they need to go!

  • In general, for animals over 20 lbs use a 1:1 dilution ratio.
  • Always dilute “hot” oils like Oregano, Peppermint, Thieves, etc. You can always add more oil, so dilute more and apply more frequently versus diluting less.
  • Use cation with oils and blends containing cinnamon or clove for dogs (like Thieves). These plants are toxic to them and while the distilled oil is different, it is better to be safe with these particular oils.
Dogs & Supplements

Our animals need the nutritional support of good quality supplements, just like we do! And the same way that we start supplementing to maintain good health before a need arises, we want to do this for our animal friends.

Enter NingXia Red, Mineral Essence, and SulfurZyme (Spotlight). These three really wonderful supplements form a baseline for your furry friends to help keep them healthy and active. Another really great thing to give your pest is digestive enzymes!
  • For dogs - approximately 1 capsule or more of Allerzyme (Spotlight) per meal for every 20 lb of body weight; ½ of each Essentialzymes-4 (Spotlight) per meal for every 50 lb of body weight.
  • Adding a round of Life 9 (Spotlight) after antibiotics, oral use of antimicrobial oils, severe diarrhea, or an infection is a wonderful way to support a healthy microbiome for your pets! For dogs, ¼ to ½ capsule for every 20 lbs per day is good for general maintenance, and for very large dogs, you can use up to 1 capsule.
  • MultiGreens (Spotlight) is a wonderful supplement to include for immune support, viral infections, and neurologic support. For dogs, 1 capsule for every 10 lb daily (up to 1-2 per day).
