PEPPERMINT
April's Oil of the Month
Energy, vitality, and fitness - things we all want, right? We want healthy, strong bodies, minds and spirits, which is why we are committed to using our favorite Young Living oils and products consistently and frequently! And peppermint essential oil is definitely one of our most used for this purpose.
Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in April! My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.
Peppermint AT A GLANCE:
- Cools fatigued muscles after physical activity
- Produces a focused environment when diffused
- Provides a refreshing experience when mixed with your favorite shampoo or when applied to skin after a warm day in the sun
- Creates an invigorating and refreshing experience when inhaled
Key Constituents
- Menthol
- Menthone
- Menthofuran
- 1,8-Cineole (Eucalyptol)
- Isomenthone
- Neomenthol
- Menthyl acetate
PEPPERMINT & EMOTIONS
Peppermint also has a strong emotional benefits. The bright, crisp aroma is wonderful to inhale to soothe anxious feelings, uplift the spirits and calm racing thoughts and restlessness. When we inhale oils, the area of our brain dealing with memory and mood is affected, so diffusing or applying peppermint oil can help us tremendously. It's wonderful paired with citrus oils for a vibrant, uplifting aroma!
PEPPERMINT & RAINDROP:
- Peppermint is one of the key essential oils used in the Raindrop massage technique and is also compliant of the oil blends used in this technique.
- Raindrop Roll-on:
- 10 drops each: Oregano, Basil, Marjoram, Cypress, Thyme, Wintergreen, Peppermint, Aroma Siez
- 1-2 pumps Ortho Ease (or V-6)
- Fill the rest with a carrier oil, like Young LIving's V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex.
- Apply over the lymph nodes, along the spine, on the bottom of the feed as needed. Use frequently and consistently!
- Raindrop Detox Bath
- 6 cups Epsom Salts
- 10 drops each: Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Cypress, Peppermint, White Angelica, Aroma Siez
- Combine Epsom salts and essential oils in a glass jar and mix well. When you are ready for a soak, add 1-2 cups of the mixture to a warm bath, and relax for at leas 30 minutes.
DAILY HABITS WITH PEPPERMINT:
- Add a drop or two to the back of the neck to support alertness and focus! Also diffuse during school, homework or work time.
- Add peppermint to an Epsom salt bath and/or use for a post-workout massage to ease and support tired muscles.
- Add a few drops to dryer balls for the fresh smelling laundry.
- Apply with coconut oil to the chest and back to support the airways. This is wonderful before lying down at bedtime. You can also add Lemon, Lavender, RC, and Raven.
- Add a drop directly to the belly button to lower body temperature when needed.
- Make a Tension Roll-On. Give tired, tense, or sore muscles some love! One great thing about Peppermint is that it actually helps support our muscles and tendons through the strain versus simply making the skin tingle like convention pain creams. In a 10 mL roller bottle add:
- 10 drops Peppermint
- 10 drops PanAway
- 10 drops Copaiba
- 5 drops Oregano or Marjoram
- Top off with a carrier oil. Apply frequently and consistently
- Avoid getting too close to the eyes. If you get it in your eyes, rub with coconut oil or other carrier oil.
- Make a Digest Roll-On. Throughout history, peppermint has been used to calm and soothe digestive needs, so adding it to your digestive blends makes sense! There's a reason all the items on the GI isle at the drugstore are peppermint-flavored. In a 10 mL roller bottle add:
- 10 drops Peppermint
- 10 drops Lemon
- 10 drops DiGize
- Top off with carrier oil. Apply over the abdomen as needed!
DIFFUSE:
Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations and enjoy the refreshing scent of peppermint this month!

April's Ditch & Switch
PAIN CREAMS
As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products for ourselves and families!
Join us as we detox our homes and switch out conventional products for cleaner, greener and better options!
For April, let’s make a simple swap that can make a big difference - Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream! Say goodbye to all the stinky muscle rubs and grab a tube of Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream!
Here's a quick low-down on 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!). So the 'fragrance' listed in those muscle rubs could be just about anything... and we don't want to rub that all over our skin, especially when we need some relief!
Enter Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream! This is one of our absolute favorite products, especially when pair with a little Deep Relief or the CBD Muscle Rub Balm! Pulled or overtired muscles, tension headaches, arthritis, back aches, any ache or pain really! Just a dab of the pain cream, rub in well and roll on your Deep Relief a few minutes later and you're good to go!
The Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream blends Wintergreen oil and Peppermint oil with other high quality ingredients that are amazing for your whole body. The pain-relieving benefits come about in two ways: methyl salicylate found in Wintergreen helps alleviate pain deep in the muscles and joints, a natural method found in Peppermint provides a lovely cooling effect. This formula doesn't just make your skin tingle like other OTC pain creams - it actually gets to the muscles to help relieve the pain and support healing. It is also considered an over the counter product, making Young Living the only essential oil company to have OTC items!
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Free from fragrance, petrolatum and other chemicals
- Plant-based formula featuring methyl salicylate from Wintergreen essential oil and menthol from Peppermint essential oil
- Actually supports the muscles and tissues beneath the skin
- Has a lovely cooling effect
- Contains aloe vera and isn't drying to the skin
TO USE
To use, simply apply to the affected area up to three or four times a day. If you need a little extra, alternate with Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream and/or Deep Relief Roll-on!Join us this month as we make this simple swap that will impact your health and wellness routine!

MARCH Ditch & Switch
THIEVES LAUNDRY SOAP
As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products for ourselves and families!
Join us as we detox our homes and switch out conventional products for cleaner, greener and better options! For March, let’s make a simple swap that can make a big difference - THIEVES LAUNDRY SOAP!
Did you know that conventional laundry soap is a leading cause of skin allergies and irritation - especially in children? We don’t often think about it, but the residues left on clothes and linens from conventional cleaners sit on our skin, often causing low-level irritation. Not to mention the chemical load that leaves over time! Even the ‘green’ options may contain hidden sulfates, dyes and fragrance, among other things!
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. Bergamot, Jade Lemon, and the essential oils in our beloved Thieves blend provide a refreshing scent without any hidden synthetic fragrances.
Plus, almost all conventional options contain optical brighteners! Optical brighteners merely give clothing the appearance of being clean. By reflecting blue light, optical brighteners give the illusion of whiter-looking fabrics. The design of these chemicals is to absorb directly into fabrics and remain on clothes well after washing. Thieves Laundry Soap contains none of these synthetic chemicals and leaves no synthetic residue.
The THIEVES LAUNDRY SOAP from Young Living gently and naturally washes your clothes, cleaning them without leaving behind any harsh chemical or residues. Fabrics come out of the washer clean and with a pleasant citrus aroma, thanks to a 100 percent pure blend of Thieves, Jade Lemon, and Bergamot essential oils!
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Free from SLS, dyes, petrochemicals, formaldehyde, phosphates, synthetic perfume, and optical brighteners
- Safe and natural safe enough to be poured directly onto clothing
- Compatible with high-efficiency (HE) washing machines
- Can be used as a stain pre-treatment applied directly to fabric
- Contains enzymes that combat dirt and stains
- Formulated to be a highly concentrated formula - a 32-ounce container can wash up to 64 loads
KEY INGREDIENTS
- Plant-derived cleaning agents (Decyl glucoside)
- Natural, non-ionic surfactants (caprylyl/capryl glucoside)
- Natural enzymes (alpha-amylase, lipase, protease)
- Thieves essential oil blend
TO USE
- Follow the instructions on your garment’s care label and on your washer. Simply add Thieves Laundry Soap in place of a conventional detergent!
- Standard load: ½ cap for conventional washers, ¼ cap for HE washers.
- For extra oomph, you can add a few drops of Lemon or Tea Tree essential oil to the soap in the washing dispenser!

LEMONGRASS
March's Oil of the Month
Create a healthy wellness routine and refresh your home for spring with Lemongrass!
Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in March! My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.
LEMONGRASS AT A GLANCE:
- Includes the naturally occurring constituents neral, geranial, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene
- Has skin-cleansing properties
- Enhances massage after activity
- Purifies the air from bad odors
- Reduces musky aromas in moist, damp environments
BACKGROUND:
Lemongrass recalls exotic locales and warm winds and adds a subtle scent of citrus to the air, making it one of our favorite springtime oils! Lemongrass belongs to the Poaceae family, the flowering plants known as grasses. The plant is native to Southeast Asia, South America, and other tropical locations where warm, moist climates encourage its growth. It is distilled from the leaves and woody stalks of the lemongrass plant, and it produces a subtle citrus-herb scent. Lemongrass has a sophisticated and relaxing aroma that can transform your home’s environment into a comforting sanctuary!
LEMONGRASS & EMOTIONS by Eryn Jones:
LEMONGRASS is a wonderful oil for the "shoulds" and "expectations" we so often feel, whether they are real or perceived. Number 9s on the Enneagram Personality Test feel these in their gut. Rubbing Lemongrass or DiGize over the abdomen or diffusing Lemongrass can help release them and focus on their own needs and wants. (Side note: this can often physically manifest as actual stomach discomfort and these oils can help with that too!)
LEMONGRASS & SKINCARE:
- Use lemongrass as a spot treatment for blemishes. You can also make your own T-zone toner with this simple recipe:
- 2oz glass bottle
- 10 drops Lemongrass
- 5 drops Lavender
- Fill with Witch Hazel
- DIY Lemongrass Sugar Scrub: The citrusy scent of lemongrass is super uplifting, and the oil itself is actually really good for your skin. This simple sugar scrub recipe is perfect for your hands, lips, and body, helps soften skin and is super moisturizing. Massage this concoction gently into your skin to get rid of dry and rough skin, leaving your skin super soft and hydrated.
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp raw honey
- 10 drops lemongrass essential oil
- In a mixing bowl, mix together sugar, olive oil, honey, and essential oil until well blended. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
DAILY HABITS WITH LEMONGRASS:
- Add a few drops of lemongrass to dryer balls for the freshest smelling laundry!
- Make your own substitute for chemical-based air fresheners. To a 2oz spray bottle add 10 drops of lemongrass, a splash of witch hazel, and fill with water. Spritz it over carpets, furniture, and linens to eliminate stale odors!
- Adding 3–4 drops of lemongrass to a sink full of dishes, a load of laundry, or Thieves Household Cleaner for extra oomph and a wonderful, uplifting scent!
- Add lemongrass to an epsom salt bath and/or use for a post-workout massage to ease and support tired muscles.
- Reach for lemongrass for sleep support! Throughout history it has been used as a sedative and a tool for anxious thoughts, so it's the perfect addition to your favorite sleep roller. Try this recipe: In a 10 ml bottle add:
- 10 drops Lavender
- 10 drops Orange
- 5 drops Lemongrass
- Top off with carrier oil. Apply to wrists, back of neck, temples and feet.
DIFFUSE:
Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations for a green spring home!

Life 9 & MightyPro
While it may seem a bit strange to say, one of the most powerful things we can do for our health is to balance and support our gut!
Many today consider regularly taking a high quality probiotic to be one of the core pieces to a healthy gut which in turn is a key to brain, immune, skin health and more. Think about it, everything we eat or drink is sent through our digestive system.
Every. Single. Thing we put into our bodies to give our cells energy passes through this system, so supporting it daily can give us huge benefits!
WHY DO WE NEED PROBIOTICS?
- Stress, medications, illness, sugar & processed grain consumption, and modern day chemicals all serve to deplete our natural probiotic stores.
- Because your immune system starts in your gut, many consider taking a high quality probiotic to be one of the core pieces to overall health!
- Dr. Mercola talks about the importance of probiotics, and yet many of us struggle to get enough through our diet alone.
- "Your body contains about 100 trillion bacteria -- more than 10 times the number of cells you have in your entire body. It's now quite clear that the type and quantity of micro-organisms in your gut interact with your body in ways that can either prevent or encourage the development of many diseases. The ideal ratio between the bacteria in your gut is 85% "good" and 15% "bad."
BUT not all probiotics are created equally, and unfortunately, the options at the pharmacy counter are less than desirable. We want a source of good bacteria that can easily be absorbed, is diverse yet doesn’t interact with each other or endogenous bacteria, and is potent enough to make a difference in our health! This is why we love Life 9 and MightyPro from Young Living!
Life 9 is a proprietary, high-potency probiotic that combines 17 billion live cultures from 9 beneficial bacteria strains that promotes healthy digestion, supports gut health, and helps maintain normal intestinal function for overall support of a healthy immune system.
Life 9 is specially designed with delayed-release capsules, a dual-sorbent desiccant, and a special bottle and cap that ensure your Life 9 stays fresh and effective. Each bottle contains 30 capsules, making it easy to use this helpful supplement daily.
Life 9 includes 9 beneficial probiotic strains for full-spectrum gut support:
Lactobacillus acidophilus
Bifidobacterium lactis
Lactobacillus plantarum
Lactobacillus rhamnosus
Lactobacillus salivarius
Streptococcus thermophilus
Bifidobacterium breve
Bifidobacterium bifidum
Bifidobacterium longum
LEARN MORE:
HOW TO USE & FAQ:
- Ideally take Life 9 in the evening, following your meal for best absorption.
- Store away from heat (i.e. don’t store it in a cabinet over the stove before you open it) and refrigerate after opening.
- It is considered safe for pregnancy and beneficial for both mom and baby; however we always recommend asking your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement.
- Life 9 can be taken once a round of antibiotics is complete to support rebuilding of gut flora. If you decide to take while on antibiotics, separate the antibiotic and probiotic by 4 hours or more.
KidScents MightyPro is a unique, synergistic blend of prebiotics (from our beloved NingXia wolfberry - a powerhouse herb itself!) and probiotics all in one supplement specially formulated for children. Packaged in easy, one-dose packets that can be taken almost anywhere you go, this supplement features over 8 billion active, live cultures to support digestive and immune health. Featuring a great-tasting formula that can be added to cold food and drinks for easy consumption, MightyPro supports gastrointestinal and immune health and maintains gut health in children, keeping them up and active. That means fewer missed days of school, day care, and playing with friends!
WHY WE LOVE IT:
- Convenient to use, take on the go, and tastes great with no added colors, flavors or artificial sugars.
- Each packet contains 8 billion live cultures + Ningxia wolfberry fibers (and only those things!) to feed that good bacteria and keep our bellies and immune systems happy! The addition of the wolfberry prebiotic allows for the healthy bacteria to multiply from 1 cell to 35 billion cells in just 12 hours, making this pro/prebiotic combo pack a wonderful nutritional punch!
- It’s NOT just for little ones! Anyone can use these, especially when traveling with Life 9 is difficult! (Life 9 has to be refrigerated after opening.)
TO USE:
For children 2 years and older, empty contents of 1 packet of MightyPro into the mouth and allow to dissolve. Take 1 packet daily with food to provide optimal conditions for healthy gut bacteria. Can be combined with cold food or drinks. Do not add to warm or hot food or beverages.
Join us this month as we use Life 9 probiotic and MightyPro to support happy digestion and a healthy gut that can have a huge impact on overall health!

In our modern world, glands like our thyroid and adrenals have to work ever harder to keep us healthy, and we want to support them properly! Endoflex oil blend is a great way to do just that.
WHAT IS ENDOFLEX? Endoflex is a blend of the following oils:
- Spearmint - A rocket pack for your metabolism while supporting your nervous system to bring beautiful balance.
- Sage - Commonly used for purification and release of the negativity that wears us down from the inside - physically and emotionally
- Geranium - Say "I love you" to your hormones, liver, and pancreas with this beautiful, floral oil that is great for the endocrine system.
- Myrtle - You say "Thyroid?" I say, "Myrtle!" Pair them together and watch the beautiful friendship begin.
- German Chamomile - Calming to your system and especially supportive of healthy liver function.
- Nutmeg - The star of adrenal support. Like a car that can't shift into the next gear, when our adrenals are worn out, we will sputter and find no oomph to continue moving forward.
- Sesame Seed Oil - Rich in Vitamin E and nourishing to the skin and body.
WHAT DOES IT DO? Endoflex supports healthy thyroid function, hormones, metabolism, and adrenals - the entire endocrine system! This oil blend will help all of these pieces of your puzzle come together as you gradually work your way to a place of more energy that comes from within.

Endoflex essential oil can help support your body's natural metabolic function which could in turn aid in shedding some extra pounds.

DAILY HABITS WITH ENDOFLEX

- Dilute in a roller and apply daily over the thyroid (front of the throat), kidneys and adrenals (lower back), and bottom of the feet 1-2 times a day (or more for more acute support!). For a 10mL roller do 40-50 drops Endoflex and fill with a carrier of choice.
- Ladies, pair with Progessence Plus for a dynamic duo of hormone support! For the guys, pair with Shutran!
DIFFUSE: Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations for hormone support with Endoflex!

LEMON essential oil – for the home and our health
SLIQUE ESSENCE blend – combat those sugar cravings

MASTER FORMULA – our favorite multivitamin (transfer your multivitamin to YL brand!)

CLEANSING TRIO – A gentle and effective detox (Check out all the goodness of the Cleansing Trio here)
LEMON Essential Oil:
Versatile, bright and joyful. That's how we would describe this starter kit oil! Lemon essential oil benefits skin and hair as much as its aroma enhances your environment and supports your mood. This best selling oil can be used in so many ways: Mix it with your cleaning products, use it during your nighttime skin care routine, or add a drop to your shampoo & conditioner for a great scent. One of the main ways we are using it this month though, is for a gentle system reset and detox by adding it to our water each morning.
SLIQUE ESSENCE
This incredible blend combines Grapefruit, Tangerine, Lemon, Spearmint, and Ocotea with stevia extract in a unique blend that supports healthy weight management goals. These ingredients work together to help control hunger, especially when used in conjunction with Slique Tea or the Slique Kit. The pleasant citrus combination of grapefruit, tangerine and lemon essential oils adds a flavorful and uplifting element to any day with the added support of spearmint that may help with digestion. I'm using this blend in my water to support my weight goals, digestion, and overall health.
ENVISION essential oil blend
A blend of Black Spruce, Geranium, Orange, Lavender, Sage and Rose essential oils, the Envision blend stimulates feelings of creativity and resourcefulness, encouraging renewed faith in the future and the strength necessary to achieve your dreams. Use Envision to help inspire clarity and vision when creating goals. Add a drop to your palms, rub them together, and hold them to your nose to inhale deeply. As you inhale, remember your goals and set your intention on making them happen.
MASTER FORMULA
Master Formula is a full-spectrum, multi-nutrient complex, providing premium vitamins, minerals, and food-based nutriment to support general health and well-being. Collectively, these ingredients provide a premium, synergistic complex to support your body and overall health. This formula also contains gut flora-supporting prebiotics which make your Live 9 Probiotic even more effective! Because it includes antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other food-based nutriment, Master Formula helps neutralize free radicals in the body – something we definitely need on a daily basis!
LIFE 9 PROBIOTIC
SOOO much of our overall health actually starts in the belly, so a good probiotic is a staple for a healthy lifestyle. Life 9 is a proprietary, high-potency probiotic that combines 17 billion live cultures from 9 beneficial bacteria strains that promotes healthy digestion, supports gut health, and helps maintain normal intestinal function for overall support of a healthy immune system. Each bottle contains 30 capsules, making it easy to use this helpful supplement daily.

Ditch & Switch
Master Formula
As the gatekeepers of our home, we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products for ourselves and families! Join us as we detox our homes and switch out conventional products for cleaner, greener and better options. For January, lets make an impactful change by switching out conventional multivitamins for MASTER FORMULA.
When it comes to conventional vitamins and supplements, it is incredibly difficult to find options that aren't filled with unnecessary colorings, fillers and binders. Sadly these ingredients are almost always synthetic, wreaking havoc on the body, especially over time, disrupting hormones, causing allergies (often low-level so we barely notice) and gut disruption. And none of us want that for ourselves or our families! Especially when we are trying to do something good – like taking a multivitamin.
Sadly our current foods (even the healthiest, homegrown options!) lack a lot of vitamins and minerals that they used to contain. Whether a result of convention farming practices, long delays in shipment or a depletion of nutrients in the soil, we simply aren't getting quite enough from foods alone. Which is why a high quality multivitamin is essential. In fact, it is one of the most prescribed over the counter supplements in the US!
MASTER FORMULA is a full-spectrum multinutrient complex that provides premium vitamins, minerals, and food based nutrient to support general health and well-being. Not only is it an exceptional formula of necessary vitamins and minerals, it includes antioxidants and essential oils that further increase the absorption of all those wonderfully good things!
Why we love it!
Naturally supports general health and well-being for the body.
Contains gut flora-supporting prebiotics (SO important for gut health and for absorption of all the vitamins and minerals Master Formula contains)
Ingredients help neutralize free radicals in the body
Includes antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other food-based nutriment
Prepackaged sachets are convenient to take your vitamins on the go
NO synthetic ingredients. NO artificial ingredients. NO unnecessary fillers. AND you can bet that every ingredient used is of the highest quality – because its Young Living.
Who should use Master Formula?
Everyone 12 years and older
Individuals looking to support general health and well-being
Individuals looking for a high quality multivitamin
Individuals looking for a full spectrum multivitamin complex
Join us this month as we make this simple swap that can have a huge impact on our overall health.

Supplement Spotlight
Cleansing Trio Kit
The Cleansing Trio Kit contains the products you need to begin improving your health, cleaning your system and eliminating build-up waste, while specifically supporting normal liver function. Each individual supplement is augmented with herbs that are rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, fiber, and essential oils and when used in combination, these supplements will give you new energy and an improved sense of well-being! What a way to start the new year!
The Cleansing Trio includes ComforTone capsules, Essentialzyme tablets, and ICP powder. Cleansing Trio Protocol:
COMFORTONE: Take 1 capsule 3 times daily. Drink at least 64 ounces of distilled water throughout the day for best results.
ESSENTIALZYME: Take 1 dual time-release caplet 1 hour before your largest meal of the day for best results.
ICP: Use 3 times daily. Mix 2 rounded teaspoons with at least 8 oz of juice or water. Drink immediately as this product tends to thicken quickly when added to liquid. Tastes best in carrot juice apple juice, or smoothies.
COMFORTONE
This supplement combines herbs and essential oils that aid in eliminating waste in the colon, allowing it to function optimally. It promotes consistent and easy bowel movements that can relieve bowel movements that can relieve hemorrhoids, bloating, and other symptoms of constipation.
Comfortone also contains herbs and essential oils that have been shown to soothe the colon along with Psyllium, Bentonite Clay, and Diatomaceous Earth which work as magnets to toxins to then carry them out of the body.
- Comfortone works best paired with ICP and EssentialZyme, which break down and scrub the colon so the Comfortone can move the waste out.
- Comfortone is usually recommended to be used temporarily for cleanses and to get the body functioning normally and then stopped so the body learns to stimulate bowel movements on its own.
ESSENTIALZYME
EssentialZyme is a bilayered, multienzyme complex caplet specially formulated to support and balance digestive health and to stimulate overall enzyme activity to combat the modern diet. Essentialzyme contains tarragon, peppermint, anise, fennel, and clove essential oils to improve overall enzyme activity, and support healthy pancreatic function.
Why do we need enzymes?? Enzymes are protein molecules that are manufactured by all plant and animal cells and are required for our cells to function. Enzymes support all systems in the body.
Digestion – enzymes break down food so that the body can digest it.
Metabolism – enzymes help properly metabolize the food so that the body can use the nutrients from the food.
Respiration – enzymes assist in getting oxygen where it is needed.
Nutrient absorption and transportation – enzymes help the nutrients get to where they are needed.
Detoxification – enzymes keep toxic sludge from building up in the body.
Muscle movement – enzymes assist in helping the brain communicate with the muscles.
Hormone production – enzymes assist in helping the body produce hormones that in turn keep the body functioning.
Cell repair – enzymes assist in repairing cells that can lead to youthful skin.
Cell division – enzymes help keep cell division at a normal, healthy rate.
ICP
ICP helps keep your colon clean with an advanced mix of fibers that scour out residues. A healthy digestive system is important for the proper functioning of all other systems because the digestive absorbs all the nutrients that are used throughout the body. And we definitely want to make sure we are getting all those nutrients, especially when we are putting so much effort into eating clean, healthy and seasonally!
- ICP provides ingredients such as psyllium, oat bran, and flax and fennel seeds to form a combination of soluble and insoluble fibers.
- Enhanced with a special blend of essential oils, the fibers work to decrease the buildup of wastes, improve nutrient absorption and help maintain a healthy heart.
- ICP provides two grams of dietary fiber, one gram of soluble fiber, and one gram of insoluble fiber per serving.
- ICP works best when paired with Comfortone to get the bowels moving and EssentiaZyme to break down what is caked and hardened in the colon.
Join us this month as we use the Cleansing Trio Kit to gently detox and cleanse and reset for the new year!

- Decyl glucoside - Comparable to other Alkyl Polyglucoside Surfactants, decyl glucoside is obtained from 100% renewable vegetable origin. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel assessed the safety of 10 alkyl glucosides including decal glucoside as used in cosmetics and concluded these ingredients are safe in the present practices of use and concentration when formulated, and are non-irritating. Since glucoside hydrolyses in human skin are likely to break down tase ingredients to release their respective fatty acids and glucose, the Panel also reviewed CIR reports on the safety of fatty alcohols and were able to extrapolate data from those previous reports to support safety. Decyl glucoside is a gentle cleanser, delicate enough even for the delicate skin on fruits, such as berries and cherry tomatoes, which is why it used in the Thieves Fruit & Veggie Spray and Thieves Fruit & Veggie Soak too.
- Sodium Lauroyl lactylate - A salt derived from the Laurie acid ester of lactyl lactate (or milk and coconut oil) and is traditionally used as a food emulsifier, although it is seen in cosmetics and personal care products because of its ability, as a lactylate, to penetrate skin easily, providing "residual moisturizaion", extended fragrance release, and enhanced delivery of actives. Lauric acid is known for its moisturizing abilities, and is also recognized as a acne-fighter, thanks to its antimicrobial properties. Sodium Lauroyl lactylate is used as in ingredient in shapes, face and body washes, and other foaming cleansers.
- Lauroyl glucoside and caprylyl glucoside - a safer alternative to regular harsh surfactants, which are typically used in cleansers to make the formula foam up. Also a "surfactant (cleanser)," this one is formed in the lab by blending a mixtures of alcohols with some simple sugars. The raw materials come from vegetables or coconut, and the resulting ingredient has a "zero" hazard rating on the Skin Deep Database.
- Sodium oleate - I honestly had a difficult time finding information on this one that was not extremely scientific and technical and mixed with other ingredients. EWG rates it very low and lists 18 studies showing it to be of low concern on several fronts like estrogenic and mutagenic effects.
- Sodium sesquicarbonate - An A rating on EWG, this ingredient is a double salt of sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate, and has a needle-like crystal structure. However, the term is also applied to an equimolar mixture of those two salts, with whatever water of hydration the sodium carbonate includes, supplied as a powder.
