We all heard how important healthy digestion is to overall health, so we want to support it well. Much like a car runs better with proper fuel and maintenance, our bodies need high quality fuel and daily support. One way we can do that is with enzymes like DetoxZyme.

DetoxZyme contains powerful essential oils like cumin, anise, and fennel that work synergistically with fast acting, powerful enzymes to help break down food and assimilate nutrients after eating and help mitigate symptoms of digestive upset.
This formulation works to complete the digestive process, improve mineral absorption from food, improve gallbladder and liver function, prevent yeast overgrowth and detoxify the gastrointestinal tract.
- Amylase - a powerful starch-digesting enzyme that prevents fermentation of starches in the digestive system
- Invertase - splits the sugar sucrose into glucose and fructose
- Protease 4.5 - protein-digesting enzymes that are stable in the varying pH conditions of the digestive tract, also fight off bacteria, yeast and parasites in the intestines

DetoxZyme & Emotions
When our bodies are overloaded with toxins or weighed down from constantly filtering everything we throw at it, things become sluggish. This not only affects our physical health; it takes a toll on us emotionally as well. This often manifests as feeling lethargic, sluggish, unmotivated or simply down. Cleansing and detoxing our systems can have profound effects on our emotional health as well.
How To Use:
Take 2 capsules 3 times daily between meals or as needed
Join us this month as we use DetoxZyme capsules to support our physical and emotional health and wellness.

Ditch & Switch Cleaning Scrubs for
THIEVES KITCHEN & BATH SCRUB
As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products and create healthy habits for ourselves and families!
Join us as we make a simple swap with a big impact. Ditch conventional (and even 'natural') cleaning scrubs for the Thieves Kitchen & Bath Scrub.
Thieves Kitchen & Bath Scrub is the perfect naturally derived cleaner: tough on messes and safe for your family. You get the power of a surface scrub without all the harmful chemical smells and residue in conventional options.
Thieves Kitchen & Bath Scrub gains its tough scrubbing power from nepheline syenite, a naturally occurring mineral from Canada; baking soda that gently absorbs orders; sodium per carbonate that releases oxygen when combined with water, providing a powerful boost of cleaning power against tough stains; and Young Living's signature Thieves blend.
Why we Love It
- Chlorine-free, all-purpose cleaner that is safe for use on porcelain, ceramic, copper alloys, fiberglass, Corain, brass, bronze, and chrome.
- Easily cleans cookware, stove cooktops, countertops, tile, grout, bathtubs, faucets, toilets, backsplashes, barbecue grills, outdoor patio furniture, and exteriors without scratching.
- Removes grease, dirt, grime, residue, and tough stains from most surfaces without harsh chemical smells or residue.
- Formulated without harmful chemicals, synthetic surfactants, phosphates, synthetic perfumes or dyes, gluten-containing ingredients, or artificial colors or fragrances.
Thieves Scrub vs. Conventional Options
Have you heard of the term 'greenwashing'? It is when companies throw a catch phrase or use a certain packaging to trick consumers into thinking they are purchasing a natural product - when in reality, what they are buying isn't natural at all.
Unfortunately, the majority of the 'natural' cleaning brands out there do this, which is a huge reason we love the Thieves Home products. No phthalates, parabens, bleach, formaldehyde, or toxic chemicals in these products - just the power of plants.
Another big issue with conventional cleaners is 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 the scent of the pure essential oils instead of fragrance, plus these oils have incredible properties of their own!
Thieves Scrub Key Ingredients
- Nepheline syenite - A naturally occurring mineral responsibly mined in Canada, it is formed from molten magma and is similar to granite. It provides the scrubbing power to remove tough stains without scratching.
- Sodium bicarbonate - Commonly known as baking soda, this powder helps remove odors and gently cleanse.
- Sodium per carbonate - An effective, safer alternative to chlorine bleach, this ingredient releases oxygen to lift stains and dirt.
- Citric acid - This natural ingredient helps tackle tough hard-water surface stains.
- Thieves essential oil blend - Thieves is a Young Living signature blend that features purifying essential oils known for their immune support, refreshing breathing experience, and cleansing properties.
To Use:
- Sprinkle Thieves Kitchen & Bath Scrub onto a wet surface or sponge. Rub the surface with a cloth or sponge for a sparkling clean, then rinse.
- Use it to naturally tackle soap scum, built-up grease and grime, and hard-water stains in the kitchen and bathroom.
- Keep it on hand for cleaning ovens, grills, and barbecues as well.
Join us this month as we clean our homes with the plant power of Thieves Kitchen & Bath Scrub.

Winter Nights essential oil blend is a winter staple. This combination of Northern Lights Black Spruce, Peppermint, Cedarwood, and Orange is crisp and cool and reminiscent of softly falling snow. Winter Nights fills your home with the peace of crisp midnight air in winter, and the warmth of cozy spaces, making it perfect for this time of year.

Winter Nights essential oil is THE oil blend for the winter season. Not only is the aroma crisp and cool and comforting, this blend contains both Cedarwood and Northern Lights Black Spruce - both of which are 'tree' oils. Tree oils are a favorite this time of year for a good reason. They are calming and grounding for the emotions, they have immune support properties, and they can help support the body's natural response to pain and inflammation. Add in the muscle and joint support of Peppermint and the bright, happy aroma of Orange, and this blend definitely sounds like something we want to keep on and around our bodies this time of year.
Background
Young Living's exclusive Winter Nights essential oil blend features Northern Lights Black Spruce essential oil, produced exclusively at the Northern Lights Farm and Distillery in British Columbia, Cananda. Established in 2014, this farm remains a pristine landscape to grow and harvest the botanical for one of Young Living's most-beloved essential oils. Orange, produced at the Amanzi Amahle Cooperative Farm in South Africa, and Peppermint, produced at the Labbeemint Partner Distillery in Washington USA, join to add some brightness and effervescence to the Winter Nights blend and to elevate the forestry notes of Black Spruce and Cedarwood.
Key Constituents
Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties.
- Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits.
- Alpha-pinene and beta-pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown these constituents to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind.
- Bornyl acetate - may help calm and focus the mind.
Winter Nights & Emotions
According to Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medial tradition, our health is a holistic balance of the mind, body, and spirit, with each person having a dominant energy type, or dosa. During the winter months we are more inclined to rest and hibernate, which can often lead to the winter blues. Winter is the season of kapha, the dosa marked by a certain heaviness, a tendency toward mental fog, and sometimes weight gain. However, we can work with the body and energy type can help lift the lethargy of winter. Oils can help us sit in this seasonal shift without lowering our emotional energy.
Create an application ritual with Winter Nights and any other oils you choose to add. This ritual is a reminder to not hold on to restrictive feelings, which can happen when there's too much kasha.
- Gently rub the skin between your toes to create warmth in the area. Massage in 4-5 drops of your chosen oil, spending about 3-5 seconds between each toe.
- With the oil still on your fingers and palms, massage the bottoms of your feet, spending 30 seconds on each one.
- Move up to your wrists and gently massage the area with your thumb; spend 10-15 seconds on each wrist.
- Next, move to the ears. Use your fingers to massage the area behind your ears in circles for 15 seconds.
- Floating up to the forehead, massage your temples with your forefingers in circles for 10 seconds.
- Finally, cup your palms over your nose and mouth and take five deep inhales.
Winter Nights & Yoga
Yoga can have a profound impact on improving energy levels, especially during the winter months. Begin your day with a sun salutations to capitalize on the energy of the sun. Focus on asanas to invigorate a healthy kapha.
- Choose a diffuser blend below, and set it near your mat.
- Apply oils to the crown of the head (it won't make your hair greasy if you don't rub it in, just drop it), wrists and heart.
- Breathe deeply, repeat a positive mantra or focus on a word or intention you want to manifest.
Daily Habits with Winter Nights:
Use Winter Nights in the emotional ritual above and during yoga to help with the winter blues.
Make this Winter Blues Roller. To a 10 mL roller bottle, add:
- 15 drops Winter Nights essential oil blend
- 10 drops Grapefruit essential oil
- 5 drops Neroli essential oil
- 5 drops Frankincense essential oil
- Fill with a carrier of choice
Add a few drops of Winter Nights to yarn-wrapped pine cones for a scented fire starter. Details on this cute and easy DIY here.
Apply it to your neck or wrists to create a soft, sweet personal fragrance. Use Winter Nights alone or pair it with Vanilla, Lavender, Grapefruit, or Bergamot.
Use it in conjunction with Winter Nights Foaming Hand Soap and Lotion to fill you home and leave your skin smelling amazing with its cool, comforting aroma.
Add it to Young Living's Car Vent Diffuser or use it in a car diffuser (a simple clothes pin works too) to leave your car smelling as fresh as the crips midnight winter air. No diffuser?

ICP Daily
Supplement Spotlight
Health starts in the gut, so we want to do everything we can do to have a happy, healthy belly! And having a healthy gut isn't something just for those with gut disorders! It is for US ALL.
Taking daily steps to build, support, detoxify and balance the gut bacteria and intestinal lining is crucial, and one of our favorite, simple ways to do this is with ICP Daily. ICP Daily is a daily prebiotic and fiber drink that is both delicious and easy on the stomach.
Just a Dose of ICP Daily
ICP Daily supports gut health, aids in the body's natural detoxification process, and helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome - all things that are crucial to overall health. This gentle daily formula contains 6 grams of plant-based probiotics, 5 grams of soluble fiber, and a belly-supporting blend of essential oils - Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass and Rosemary.
Why we Love ICP Daily
- Contains 6 grams of plant-based probiotics and 5 grams of soluble fiber
- Aids in the body's natural detoxification process
- Helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome
- Easy on the stomach and well tolerated by those with digestion sensitivity
- Promotes health postbiotics in the gut
- Contains D. Gary Young's original ICP essential oil blend of Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary essential oils
- Helps you feel full longer
- Supports cardiovascular health and immune systems
Gut Health and Overall Health
Did you know that over 75% of your immune system is in your gut? Sounds so wild, but it is true. This is yet another reason why a healthy, happy belly is of utmost importance!
If you're thinking that you don't feel bad, don't have a dietary sensitivities and feel like your gut is just fine, you could still be experiencing symptoms of gut inflammation and imbalance (dysbiosis). Lots of things in our daily life can result in tiny holes in the gut lining, creating a 'leaky gut.' This is a huge topic of medical study and one for another day, but leaky gut can cause a whole host of symptoms. Some less straightforward symptoms include migraines, brain fog, joint pain, eczema, acne, and emotional instability.
If this is you (and honestly even if it's not) I challenge you to spend a minimum of 40 days eating low-inflammatory foods, moving your body, taking Live 9 and ICP Daily and seeing how these things change! Bonus points for adding 2-4 ounces of NingXia Red each day.
ICP Daily contains powerful ingredients like agave inulin, guar gum, and prickly pear cactus extract that works synergistically (1+1=3) with Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary essential oils to detoxify the gut and promote a healthy environment for bacterial balance. Pairing ICP Daily with Life 9 is ideal. ICP Daily creates a clean, happy home for the diverse bacteria of the Live 9 probiotic.
Plus, the ingredients in ICP Daily provide 6 grams of plant-based probiotics and 5 grams of soluble fiber. Probiotics and fiber are crucial for overall gut health and digestive mobility (ease of things moving through which is definitely what we want) as well as overall cardiovascular and immune system health.
Overall, ICP Daily is an ideal way to maintain a healthy gut microbiome, aid in the body's natural detoxification process, promote healthy postbiotics in the gut, and even help you feel full longer. If that's not a win, I don't know what is!
Daily Habits for Gut Health
- Avoid inflammatory foods
- Eat whole, nutrient dense foods
- Move your body gently first thing in the morning (yoga, sun salutations, stretching)
- Avoid commercial seed oils (canola oil, sunflower seed oil, etc.)
- Take a high quality probiotic like Life 9
- Eat prebiotic foods like garlic, onions, and NingXia wolfberries
- Take ICP Daily
Gut Health and Emotional Health
It may seem strange to link gut health with emotions, but there is a big reason why the two things are connected.
We've all heard about serotonin, especially since it is one of our 'happy' hormones along with dopamine. Serotonin is the control switch for the body and brain's neurotransmitters. It helps us regulate our emotions from excited and energetic to calm and focused, so when levels are too low, problems can certainly arise.
A lot of serotonin is produced in the brain (this is what we hear about a lot with mental health needs), but a large amount is also produced in the digestive system. So much so that our gut is called the 'second brain.' In fact, almost 90% of the serotonin in our bodies is produced by the peripheral nervous system in the gut. WOW!
So many things impact the gut's ability to produce and maintain adequate levels of serotonin. A few of these include food sensitivities and allergies, acute and chronic illness, flora imbalances, yeast overgrowth, acute and chronic illness, conventional medication and antibiotic use. Some of these things are within our control to change and others we have to simply support and rebuild the gut after experiencing. Acute needs are definitely going to require work, but the real ticket to health is in daily actions.
Often when we crave foods high in sugar or white flour, we are innately trying to regulate low serotonin levels. These foods may give us a quick pick me up, but they also lead to a crash shortly after. But there are many ways we can support the gut (second brain, remember) daily to maintain adequate serotonin (among other important things). Adding ICP Daily to your daily wellness routine is a great way to support your gut.
How To Use ICP Daily- Mix 1 scoop in 8 ounces of water or juice daily.
- Take in the morning 30 minutes before meals on an empty stomach.
- Enjoy with water, NingXia Red, or juice..
Join us as we use ICP Daily this month and beyond to support our gut health, immune system and emotions as we start a new year.

Eucalyptus Radiata Essential OilLike most species of Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Radiata is native to Australia. A very large flowering tree in the myrtle family, Eucalyptus Radiata produces fragrant leaves and is also known informally as narrow-leaved peppermint. In 2011, a study at Heidelberg University found that Eucalyptus Radiata has the second largest abundance of 1,8 console (eucalyptus) after Eucalyptus Globulus. It is this constituent that gives Eucalyptus Radiata its camphor's aroma and incredible respiratory support properties.
Use this oil to help support the airways during the cold weather. Dilute with coconut oil or V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex and apply to the chest as desired. This is a great thing to do before a winter workout.

December Essentials
What should I order?
The holidays are upon us and the year is winding down, so you will find us cozied up at home with those we love... diffusing oils, making DIYs, gathering with our family and friends.
We are here to give full presence to all that this season brings, and here are a few products we are using to enhance this beautiful time of year.
Vanilla Oleoresin - for a warm, welcoming aroma
Peppermint essential oil - for diffusing, baking, and merry making
Peppermint essential oil - for diffusing, baking, and merry making
NingXia Red Combo Pack - for healthy hearts and minds
Winter Nights Foaming Hand Soap, 3 pack - for clean, soft, moisturized hands with a scent no store can match
Vanilla Oleoresin
Vanilla is the quintessential warm, inviting scent, making it a wonderful addition to diffuser blends, DIYs, roller blends and even Thieves Household Cleaner. Young Living's Vanilla is not strictly an extract or an absolute, both of which contain monthly alcohol and do not blend well with essential oils.
Noticing these flaws in mainstream vanilla extracts and absolutes, the D. Gary Young Research Institute worked to find a vanilla product that would meet the Seed to Seal quality commitment and blend well with essential oils. The result is a first-of-its-kind extraction method that yields a Vanilla oleoresin in fractioned coconut oil that diffuses and blends beautifully with essential oils.
Learn more about Vanilla oleoresin in December's Oil of the Month Spotlight post.
Peppermint Essential Oil
Bring the crisp, sweet scent of candy canes into your home with Peppermint essential oil. Peppermint is a natural cross between water mint and spearmint that has an uplifting, invigorating aroma that creates a focused, bright environment with diffused.
Peppermint is soothing when applied topically, making it great post workout or when your neck and shoulders fell tense. Peppermint Vitality essential oil has a minty, refreshing flavor that supports healthy digestion... and is a perfect addition to any holiday baking.
Note: Peppermint and Peppermint Vitality are the same essential oil.
NingXia Red Antioxidant DrinkCombo Pack
Packets for you, bottles for gifting! Add a shot of NingXia Red to your routine to enjoy the benefits of this powerful, whole-body supplement. There are MANY reasons we love this wolfberry puree (see the list of blog posts for all the ways).
NingXia Red is packed with superfoods to support overall wellness - plum, aronia, cherry, blueberry, and pomegranate juices and extracts, pure vanilla extract and Lemon, Orange, Tangerine and Yuzu essential oils.

Idaho Blue Spruce
Oil Spotlight for November
Idaho Blue Spruce is like a walk through an evergreen forest on a crips, cool day. Gentle and welcoming, calming and grounding. This oil can be used during meditation or prayer to enhance your practice and inspire spiritual connection and pairs well in the diffuser with spice and citrus oils as well as other grounding blends.
Each month we focus on using an oil everyday 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 November. My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.
Idaho Blue Spruce AT A Glance
- Has a grounding, slightly sweet evergreen aroma
- Can be used to enhance yoga, spiritual practices or meditation
- Makes a great addition to lotions, oils, and DIY body care products
- Helps release emotional blocks to bring about grounding and balance
- May help respiratory function and cleaning of the airways
- Promotes relaxation
Background
Considered a sacred tree by Native American tribes in the Northwest, it was used traditionally for smudging and purification rites. Spruce leaves, bark, and gum have been used historically by Native Americans for many things - spiritual ceremonies, physical health, poultices, digestive needs, immune support and more.
The oil is steam distilled from wood, bark, and needles of the Picea pungens tree, an evergreen species native to the central Rocky Mountains. It is produced at the Young Living Highland Flats Tree Farm and Distillery in Naples, Idaho.
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
- Limonene: known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
- Camphene: some studies may show that this constituent supports cardiovascular health, may help reduce pain and inflammation, support the body's defenses to fungal infections
Idaho Blue Spruce is an excellent oil for the guys as it helps balance and support hormone levels, especially testosterone. Because of its constituents Idaho Blue Spruce may help optimize both testosterone and growth hormone levels. Women can also use Idaho Blue Spruce for healthy testosterone as well.
Blue Spruce Essential Oil has many health benefits, including boosting Testosterone production. Dr. Dan Purser conducted a trial which had the males subjects ingest 8 drops of Blue Spruce Essential Oil within a capsule one daily. The subjects showed and increase of 30% in Testosterone levels after only two weeks and some subjects showed up to 100% increased levels after 4 weeks. The subjects reported increased physical and mental performance in line with their new higher testosterone levels a year later. Source.
Daily Habits with Idaho Blue Spruce
Diffuse or inhale Idaho Blue Spruce to fill your space with its tranquil, woodsy aroma.
Apply to your wrists, neck, or ear lobes during yoga, meditation, or prayer
Combine with Geranium and Grapefruit in a roller bottle and dilute with V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex to create a fresh, floral perfume

DIY Beeswax Jar Candles
DIY for Holiday Gifts!
The ambiance of candles is such a lovely addition to the home, especially during the colder months. And since we ditched scented candles long ago (so full of icky chemicals), we love making these simple beeswax jar candles and customizing the scent.Spruce, Peppermint and Orange for the fall, Purification, Tangerine and Lavender for the spring - the options are limitless. Check out all the diffuser recipes on this blog for oil combinations.
Supplies needed:
- Natural yellow beeswax or white beeswax pellets
- 1 tsp per jar of organic coconut oil
- Hemp wicks
- Wick stickers
- A wick centering device
- Glass jars or candle tins
- 50-75 drops essential oils per jar
- Twine and fresh rosemary or lavender sprigs for garnish, if desired
Instructions:
- Set a wide, shallow dish on the stove with water and heat to medium-low, very gently boiling.
- While the water heats, prepare your jars by adding a sticker to the metal ring of the wick and press firmly to the bottom of your glass jar. Align the wick holder on the top of the jar to keep the wick from moving to one side.
- Pour about 1/3 of the jar full of beeswax pellets, then add 1/2 tsp coconut oil. Repeat the layers, finishing with the beeswax to new the top of the jar. As you fill the jars, make sure that the wick remains in the center. The coconut oil is optional but helps to slow the burning of the beeswax so your candles will last longer.
- Once the water is boiling gently, place jars in and allow the wax and coconut oil to melt. Add more beeswax pellets as needed as the wax melts and naturally lowers.
- Once the wax is melted, remove from the water bath and place on a baking rack to cool. Add essential oils while wax is cooling, dropping the oils in various places around the wax.
- Allow the wax to cool and harden, then tie with twine and a sprig of rosemary or other garnish as desired. This also makes a lovely gift!
Oil Combination Ideas:
- 30 drops Northern Lights Black Spruce or Idaho Blue Spruce, 20 drops Cinnamon Bark, 10 drops Tangerine
- 30 drops Clove, 20 drops Cinnamon Bark, 20 drops Cardamom, 10 drops Vanilla
- 30 drops Clove, 20 drops Grapefruit, 20 drops Lime
- 30 drops Nutmeg, 20 drops Vanilla, 20 drops Clove
- 30 drops Rosemary, 25 drops Grapefruit, 20 drops Bergamot
- 30 drops Patchouli, 20 drops Cinnamon Bark, 20 drops Tangerine, 15 drops Vetiver

About NingXia Red!
It's no secret that we are crazy about NingXia Red, and here are all there reasons why. NingXia Red is a powerful antioxidant supplement drink made from wolberry puree, blueberry, plum, cherry, arena and pomegranate juices, grape seed extract, Yuzu, Tangerine, Lemon and Orange essential oils, stevia and pure vanilla extract for flavor.
Besides the great taste, NingXia Red has some amazing health benefits. It has the highest known protection against the dangerous superoxide free radicals, as documented in the S-ORAC test conducted by Brunswick Laboratories.
Let's talk antioxidants. That word gets thrown around a lot as we discuss wellness, but what does it really mean? Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products), which can cause damage. Antioxidants act as "free radical scavengers" and hence prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals.
NingXia Red is rich in ellagic acid, polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals. In addition, it has 18 animo acids, 21 trace minerals, beta-carotene, and vitamins B1, B2, B3 and E. It is an excellent whole-food source of nutrients that gives energy and strength to the body without harmful stimulants. It also has an amazing low glycemic index of 11 that does not spike the blood sugar levels.
In Short, NingXia Red:
- Supports a healthy immune system
- Helps us be proactive against all the germs coming our way
- Energy support
- HUGE source of antioxidants
- Support brain and join health
- Support healthy hormone levels
- Support healthy blood sugar levels
- Can help curb sugar cravings
Why do we Love it?
Why are we so huge on our NingXia Red? Because, honestly, we're better people when we drink it. Sound a little far-fetch?
Think about it...
Do cars run better when fueled by the right gas? Why do we expect our bodies to run on second-rate, pressed, non-fuel? We get work out, our digestive systems get tired, our cells get dirty, and we need something we can assimilate quickly and easily to go to work. NingXia Red gives our bodies the boost we need.

KidScents Toothpaste
August Ditch & Switch
As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products and create healthy habits for ourselves and families!
Join us as we detox our bathroom shelves and switch out conventional kids' toothpaste for Young Living's KidScents Toothpaste.
Brushing teeth can sometimes be a struggle with kids, but using the citrusy KidScents Toothpaste from Young Living makes it so much more enjoyable! Not only will your kids love the taste, this advanced formula cleans teeth without any of the harsh additives found in most commercial toothpastes. Fluoride and GMO are, this plant-based toothpaste supports healthy-looking gums and teeth and is infused with he highest quality essential oils you can find.
Why we love KidScents Toothpaste
- Cleaner teeth gently with a natural derived formula created for children
- Formulated with gentle, order-absorbing baking soda for fresher breath
- Fights plaque with brushing
- Removes surface stains gently
- Provides a long lasting, clean, and free feel
- Formulated without fluoride, SLS, synthetic dyes, peroxide, artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or gluten containing ingredients.
Sadly, conventional kids' toothpaste formulas are filled with synthetic additives, artificial flavoring and coloring agents that are not just unnecessary, they are harmful when ingested in small qualities over time. The membrane lining of the mouth has an absorption efficiency of more than 90%, which means when we brush our teeth, we are brushing our gums too. And even if toothpaste isn't swallowed, it is still entering the bloodstream via the mucosal lining. Here are a few top offenders:
- Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS): SLS promotes the foaming action of conventional toothpastes, but does nothing as far as efficacy. It has been linked to the development of canker sores and can change the way the taste buds work. (This is why everything tastes bad after you brush your teeth!)
- Triclosan: This chemical is common in toothpaste and has been linked to antibiotic resistance and endocrine disruption. Disruption in the endocrine system can create serious effects, especially over time. This is also an active ingredient in hand sanitizers.
- Artificial Dyes and Colors: To make the blue or red stripe that is perfectly placed in the middle of the toothpaste, manufacturers add food coloring, often a petroleum based product. Red 40 , Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 are the worst according to a report from the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Some of these food dyes come with side effects like hyperactivity and hypersensitivity reactions.
- Propylene Glycol: Propylene glycol is used as the surfactant in conventional toothpaste to promote foaming. It is found extensively in paints, enamels, and antifreeze. Pharmaceutical grade propylene glycol is common in personal care products. Unfortunately, it can cause skin, lung and eye irrational.
- Titanium Dioxide: White titanium dioxide is added to make toothpaste white, and is entirely unnecessary. It is also found in supplements, added to foods and to make paint white. Titanium dioxide is currently under review as far as its safety.
Key Ingredients in KidScents Toothpaste
When it comes to all of Young Living's products, you'll only find the best, purest ingredients. You can be sure are safe and effective. And the KidScents toothpaste is no exception. It has a short list of ingredients, including plant-based surfactants, stevia and essential oils.
- Baking Soda
- Xylitol
- Stevia
- Coconut Oil
- Grapefruit Essential Oil
- Spearmint Essential Oil
To Use
Use daily to help young smiles stay vibrant. Put a small amount of toothpaste on a brush, helps he child brush their teeth, and rinse thoroughly after each meal or as directed by a dentist or doctor. Supervise children until good brushing and rinsing habits are established.
* Intended for children 2 years and older. For children under 2 years of age, consult a dentist or doctor before use.

MightyZyme
Supplement Spotlight
Enzymes are crucial to our health and digestion, and in an ideal world our foods would be rich in natural enzymes. Unfortunately the average diet and even the soil quality. Without these little workers, we are not assimilating the nutrients that we need, and we all know that growing bodies need those nutrients!
Why are enzymes important? Enzymes...
- help your cells communicate well with each other.
- are protein molecules that are manufactured by all plant and animal cells. All cells require enzymes to survive and function.
- help keep cell growth, life and death under control (this is so important!).
- are need for more than 4,000 biochemical reactions in the body.
- are responsible for every chemical reaction in our bodies.
- allow our cells to build up and break down molecules in our bodies!
Enzymes affect every body system
- Digestion - Enzymes break down food so the body can digest it.
- Metabolism - Enzymes help properly metabolize the food so the body can use the nutrients from the food.
- Respiration - Enzymes assist in getting oxygen to where it is needed.
- Nutrient absorption and transportation - Enzymes help the nutrient 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 which can lead to youthful skin.
- Cell Division - Enzymes help keep cell division at a normal, healthy rate.
MightyZymes to the rescue!
These are all the things we want for ourselves and our kids' growing bodies. KidScents MightyZyme contains enzymes that naturally occur in the body that support and assist the digestive needs of growing bodies and the normal digestion of foods.
Areas of health that enzymes can support:
- Gut health and digestion
- Focus and attention
- Mood and disposition
- Energy levels
Chewable and newly formulated for better flavor and with folate instead of folic acid, these enzymes can be key to the digestive and immune system as well as helping to support a healthy gut (which has great impact on focus and brain function). Adding MightyZymes to your kid's routine is a great way to support their overall health.
To Use
- Take 1 tablet, three times a day prior to or with meals.
- For relief of occasional symptoms including fullness, pressure, bloating, stuffed feeling (commonly referred to as gas), pain and/or minor cramping that may occur after eating.
- MightlyZyme aren't just for kids! If you are looking for a chewable enzyme, this is for you too.
Join us this month as we use MightyZyme this month and beyond to support overall health and wellness and feed our children (and ourselves!)
