Mineral Essence Supplement Spotlight - June 2021


Mineral Essence

Supplement Spotlight


According to the two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling: "You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency".

Trace minerals are incredibly important for our overall health. The body requires nearly two thirds of all the elements currently know to man in order to support optimal health, cognitive function and overall performance. Keeping these minerals in balance is a complex, yet incredibly vital task. The events of everyday living demand a continual ingestion of minerals, ideally from the diet, but given current farming practices, it just isn't enough.

Traditionally eating fresh, sprouted grains, fruits and vegetables grown in nutrient-rich soil has been the primary supply for a full spectrum of ionic minerals. Unfortunately in today's world, naturally occurring, nutrient rich soil is becoming increasingly rare. Decades and decades of vegetation growth and aggressive modern farming techniques have brought many of the earth's minerals to the surface where they have been washed away. Synthesized fertilizers are routinely applied to farms and fields where minerals have been depleted, but man-made fertilizers provide only enough mineral substance to support basic plant life.

And just like so many other areas of our health, we can achieve our goals with supplementation. Mineral Essence is a balanced, full-spectrum ionic mineral complex enhanced with essential oils. It contains sixty ionic minerals including iron, zinc, silicon, fluoride, boron, lithium, sodium, sulfur, magnesium, chloride, selenium, Thallium, calcium, and potassium. Added in is Peppermint, Cinnamon bark, and Lemon essential oils. The addition of essential oils helps the body absorb all these ionic minerals, making them more bioavailable (and useful) to our bodies instead of just passing through.

The following deficiencies have been linked to many health issues - including those that affect our emotional health - and all of these deficiencies can be improved with Mineral Essence.
  • IRON - affects around 20% of women and 50% of pregnant women. Pair with Master Formula Master Formula for ideal results.
  • SELENIUM - a key component of thyroid health. Pair with Master Formula for ideal results.
  • MAGNESIUM - some sources say up to half the population is deficient in magnesium. One serving of Mineral Essence provides 80% of our daily requirements.
  • ZINC - this mineral is used by more enzymes than any other mineral our bodies need and is used for everything from gut health to DNA repair.

Mineral Essence makes you feel amazing and gives our bodies needed minerals. Minerals are critical to enzyme function, hormone production, bone building and breakdown  creating long luxurious hair and nails, and transmission of nerve signals." Dr. Lindsey Elmore

Here is a closer look at each ingredient in Mineral Essence and how it supports our system:
  • Calcium - essential for healthy bones and teeth, assist in blood clotting, muscle contraction, and nerve transmission.
  • Chromium - assists in the metabolism of glucose and regulates blood sugar.
  • Cobalt - promotes the formation of red blood cells.
  • Copper - promotes normal red-blood cell formation, connective tissue formation and central nervous system function. By storing and releasing iron, copper contributes to hemoglobin formation.
  • Iodine - required by the thyroid hormone to support metabolism.
  • Iron - important in red blood cell formation, energy and cognitive function.
  • Magnesium - supports nerves and muscles and activates over 100 enzymes.
  • Molybdenum - contributes to grown and development.
  • Phosphorous - works with calcium and contributes to healthy bones and teeth.
  • Potassium - regulates heartbeat, fluid balance, and helps muscles contract.
  • Selenium - an essential component of a key antioxidant enzyme, also necessary for normal growth and development.
  • Sulfur - required for muscle protein and helps with soft, healthy hair.
  • Zinc - found in every fluid, tissue, cell and organ throughout the human body with high concentrations in the brain. Inadequate intake can affect over 200 enzymes involved in digestion, metabolism, reproduction and wound healing.
  • Cinnamon essential oil - antiviral, antibacterial and a strong antioxidant. It also contains high levels of phenols - oxygenating compounds which function as catalysts.
  • Lemon essential oil - promotes leukocyte production, which is an important factor in the immune system.
  • Peppermint essential oil - antibacterial and a first-rate support for the immune system, also supports digestion.

HOW TO USE

Take 5 half-droppers (1 mL each) morning and evening or as needed as a mineral supplement. May be added to 4-8 oz of distilled/purified water or juice before drinking. We recommend adding to cranberry juice if needed as the supplement has a spicy, mineral flavor. Shake well before using and refrigerate after opening.

You can also apply this to skin or use in an epsom salt bath to allow for absorption through the skin. Note, however, that this route of administration will provide less absorption than ingestion.

Note: This product contains royal jelly, which may cause allergic reactions, especially in those with bee or honey allergies.

Join us this month as we use Mineral Essence this month and beyond to support overall health and wellness and feed our bodies with the good things it needs!

DIY - Relaxing Lavender Eye Pillow

Make this today!
DIY Relaxing Lavender Eye Pillows

These eye pillows are a fun DIY and are wonderful to have around the home! You can choose different fabrics or even change the essential oil, but we are partial to Lavender. They are also wonderful when you are experiencing head and neck tension or are needing a little extra TLC!

These eye pillows can be enjoyable just as they are, without warming or cooling. Place them over your eyes and breathe in to relax, relieve stress and help encourage restful sleep. Or you can use the hot or cold. To use cold, place in the freezer for about 20 minutes before use, or keep in the freezer between each use.

To use warm, carefully heat in the microwave for 10 second intervals. Be careful to not let it get too hot. Start with 10 seconds on one side and then flip and do 10 seconds on the other side. the flax seeds inside are great for holding onto heat for an extended period, and healthy will also release more scent oils from the lavender buds.

You will need the following for pillow:
  • 1/4 yard of fabric (you will have extra) Note - make sure the fabric is washed and dried before you begin
  • 1 1/4 cup flax seed
  • 3/4 cup dried Lavender buds
  • 20 or so drops Lavender essential oil
For each pillow, cut 2 layers of fabric measuring 4.5 inches by 10.5 inches. You'll want right sides facing out for frayed edges or right sides in for no frays. Begin by sewing alongside a long edge, making your way all mourned, with a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Be sure you leave one short edge open to fill the pillow.

Mix the Lavender buds, flax seed and a few drops of Lavender essential oil in a bowl, then fill the pillow bag until its mostly full. The measurements above should give you the perfect amount. Finally, sew the open edge closed containing the insides.

A few tips..
  • a lightweight fabric will help the smell diffuse better, think a medium weight linen or light cotton.
  • The amount of Lavender and flax seed can be played with. If you desire more buds, go ahead and increase that amount. If you want more flax, have at it.
  • Losing smell? Try cursing the bag in your hands to help more scent release.
  • Other essential oil options:

These oils are supportive of the immune and respiratory systems, smell incredible and put a little pep in your step. Add them to the diffuser for a great blend anytime of the day.

These oils are also great for our overall health and wellness, so keep your diffuser filled up all day long.

Summer sunshine, the scent of fresh herbs, and the feeling of warm earth beneath your feet - that is what this blend is about. Rosemary, Lavender, Lemon, and Basil round out a wonderful diffuser combination that is a little sweet, a little herbaceous and a little citrusy. And just like being outside and planting a summer garden is good for your immune system, breathing in these oils is too.

Is it even summer without popsicles?! Three all-star citrus oils make up this blend that is reminiscent of poolside treats.  These oils also help brighten our mood, stimulate creativity and support the immune system. Bonus: add the Vitality versions of these oils to some NingXia Red and freeze for a healthy, delicious summer treat.

Start your day off with this combination of citrus and mint. Bright, fresh, and uplifting, this combination of Starter Bundle oils is one of our go-to blends whenever we need a little sunshine in our days. Plus these oils help open the airways and support the respiratory system, so they are wonderful to diffuse through the entire house.


Ohhh, summer camp... late nights, bonfires, and good friends. That is what this blend brings to mind! Northern Lights Black Spruce pairs well with Tangerine any time of the day, but adding Cedarwood makes it perfect for sweet summertime sleep.



Whether this summer has you traveling to far off places or just to your neighborhood park, this two Starter Bundle are a must have for the car ride! Stress Away helps keep us calm and collected, while Peppermint soothes away any motion-related discomfort. Plus the combination smells like freshly baked cookies, so its a favorite for our homes as well.

For the month of May we are focusing on releasing the emotional weights that are tying us down and releasing the physical stress within our bodies! Stress-free summer here we come. Here are a few essential items we are using this month to cultivate the stress-free summer we desire.

White Angelica oil blend - the friend of those walking though hard times

Feelings Kit - for emotional health and peaceful, easy feelings
Stress Away Relaxing Bath Bombs - to melt the stress away
Tangerine essential oil - for bright, happy vibes

White Angelica Essential Oil

Each essential oil in White Angelica was carefully selected to help promote a positive, peaceful atmosphere when diffused. This oil blend is an incredibly powerful emotional tool for when you are struggling with negative emotions, carrying the weight of others, and processing grief or disappointment. This blend is also wonderful for children who struggle to verbalize their feelings and tend to process through nightmares. Pair it with lavender for a calming, relaxing blend to help release negative emotions.

Lean more about White Angelica essential oil blend in my Oil of the Month post.


CortiStop

When cortisol is produced too frequently, it can have negative health consequences such a feelings of fatigue, difficulty maintaining optimal health of the cardiovascular system. This is the root cause of adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue can bring with it negative health consequences such as fatigue, weight gain, and cardiovascular disorders. 

Enter CortiStop.

CortiStop is an herb and essential oil supplement that helps to naturally balance the stress response by calming the body and lowering cortisol levels. As cortisol declines, strength and energy return, and the body moves back to a state of equilibrium.

To learn more, check out the May Supplement post.

Feelings Kit

The Feelings Kit includes six essential oil blends, each of which is a powerful tool for supporting and releasing emotional patters - Harmony, Forgiveness, Present Time, Inner Child, Release and Valor.

Join me this month to utilize these powerful oils instead of turning our comfort vices - shopping, Netflix, food, alcohol, overworking to name a few! Follow the 'Feelings Protocol' in the morning and evening to promote peaceful thought and spiritual harmony.

For more, including the usage protocol, check out the May Ditch & Switch blog.

Stress Away Bath Bombs

No matter how you do it, take a moment for yourself is always a good idea, and one of my favorite way to do that is with a long soak in the bathtub. So, lets ditch the Bath & Body Works or the brightly colored displays at the stores and grab the Stress Away Relaxing Bath Bombs instead. 

Stress Away is one of Young Living's most popular blends and for good reason. This oil is wonderful for creating a calm, relaxing environment. PLUS these natural bath bombs are made without colorants, synethetic preservatives, parabens, or animal-derived ingredients - making them some of the best bath bombs you can get your hands on!

Tangerine essential oil

Bright and happy, this citrus oil has a delightfully sweet aroma that can create a happy, contented mindset. It pairs well with just about anything. Adding White Angelica or the oils in the Feelings Kit can improve your emotional outcome. Citrus oils in general help to promote feelings of creativity, confidence and contentment.

Diffuse Tangerine with:

Lavender Bath & Shower Gel

Infused with Lavender, Lemon, and Davana essential oils, the Lavender Bath & Shower Gel is one of our favorites for elevating the everyday. It cleanses, soothe, and relaxes your skin and is free of chemicals and synthetic preservatives. 

Use it daily in your shower or go the extra mile and pair it with a Stress Away bath bombs for an ultimate relaxing bath. This plant-based formula smells incredible and makes us look forward to a moment of peace in our daily routine.

Cortistop Supplement Spotlight - May 2021


Supplement Spotlight

CortiStop


Stress stored and fought by the body is possibly the number one health danger. It is truly a killer. Making sure we have our tools to help our bodies physically and emotionally deal with stress is one of the biggest changes we can make in our health!


What happens when you're stressed? Your adrenal glads go into overdrive and your cortisol levels go up. High levels of cortisol cause the body to scavenge for protein to convert into glucose to provide energy for the brain to deal with the perceived stress (also severely depresses the immune system). 

So adrenaline kicks in.

Adrenaline is your fight or flight hormone (also helps to control blood pressure, sweating, etc). Your adrenals can spike creating a feeling of energy then crash with extreme fatigue when they run out of materials to work with. You feel fine in the morning, but when contemplating work will get extremely tired. The thought of work can wear them out; any type of stress will cause the adrenal glads to over react (extremely tense nervous) or fail to respond (suddenly/extremely tired).

When cortisol is produced too frequently, it can have negative health consequences such as feelings of fatigue, difficulty maintaining healthy weight, and difficulty maintaining optimal health of the cardiovascular system. When cortisol levels are chronically high, it affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, basically affecting all your hormones and disrupting the natural feedback loop. This causes the body to be less sensitive to the 'stop signal', and creates a viscous cycle of elevated stress signals. This is the root cause of adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue can bring with it negative health consequences such as fatigue, weight gain, and cardiovascular disorders.

Enter Cortistop

CortiStop is an herb and essential oil supplement that helps to naturally balance the stress response by calming the body and lowering cortisol levels. As cortisol declines, strength and energy return, and the body moves back to a state of equilibrium.

Triggers for elevated cortisol levels:

  • Excess heat/cold
  • alcohol abuse
  • coffee drinking
  • depression
  • anxiety
  • malnutrition
  • personal reltionships
  • surgery
  • physical/emotional trauma
  • diseases
  • big life events (job changes/problems, moving, etc.)

Learn More

Here is a closer look at each ingredient in CortiStop and how it supports our system:
  • Pregnenolone: shown to reduce corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in experimental models. CRH is the first step in the production of stress hormone cortisol. Pregnenolone is also a precursor hormone from which all other hormones are created It is important for the body's production of progesterone, which blocks cortisol receptors.
  • DHEA: another precursor for progesterone, DHEA is often reduced as a consequence of stress.
  • Phosphatidylcholine: may protect the brain, liver and stomach during times of stress; also a key component for every cell in the body.
  • Phosphatidylserine: helps to balance the Hypothalamus-Pituitary Axis, benefits cognitive function, and may blunt cortisol production. The effects may be more pronounced in people under chronic stress.
  • Black cohosh: a phytoestrogen that helps counteract the effects of cortisol, helps stop stress responses, and may elevate mood.
  • Clary sage: another phytoestrogen that supports hormone balance and helps uplift the mood.
  • Frankincense: a grounding and uplifting oil that also works as an antioxidant within the body.
  • Fennel and peppermint: help soothe the stomach and aid in digestion.
Who Should Use CortiStop?
  • Women who need support or feel the effects of adrenal fatigue.
  • Men can take this supplement when needed! Dr. Purser, the doctor who formulated Progessence Plus, taught in a session on men's health that there is a place for men to be on this supplement in times of high stress and anxiety.
  • NOT recommended during pregnancy. Use while breastfeeding at your discretion and need.

HOW TO USE

  • Take 2 tablets in the morning before breakfast. 
  • If desired, for extra benefits, take another 2 capsules before bed. 
  • Use daily for 8 weeks. Discontinue use for 2-4 weeks before resuming.

Join us this month as we use CortiStop this month and beyond to support healthy cortisol levels and release the stress weighing us down!

Peppermint Oil Spotlight - April 2021

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:

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!

ALSO FOUND IN:

Will you join us in using Peppermint oil daily to support our health and cultivate energy and vitality! Lets create great daily habits that support our overall health!

Pain Cream Ditch and Switch - April 2021


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!

Lets talk about conventional over the counter pain and muscle rubs for just a second. Did you know that products that are cool and hot simply contain ingredients that make your skin tingle so you forget about the muscle pain beneath it? They don't actually help support muscles, tendons and tissues that are in need of help. Plus they are filled with less than ideal ingredients like petrolatum, artificial colorants and fragrance.

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!

Thieves Laundry Soap Ditch and Switch - March 2021


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!

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
