Love your Skin
Your skin is your largest organ, and the state of your skin can tell you a lot about your body's needs. Your skin is exposed to everything the day brings - heat, cold, sun, wind, environmental toxins, household toxins, and more. So we need to do everything we can to show our skin (and our bodies) some TLC.

Sadly conventional products are chock full of synethic ingredients that wreak havoc on the body, especially over time, disrupting hormones, causing allergies (often low-level so we barely notice), and filling our systems with chemicals that cause damage over time.

Switching from conventional to chemical-laden beauty products is a great, simple step in the right direction. Young Living products contain NO synthetic ingredients. NO hormone disruptors. NO artificial colorings. And you can bet that every ingredient is used is of the highest quality.

Nature's Ultra CBD products are crafted using a blend of high-quality CBD isolate and Young Living essential oils. These world-class ingredients combine to form Young Living's exclusive Smart Spectrum CBD. The Beauty Boos contains a combination of pure, potent CBD, tamanu oil, grapeseed oil, and rose essential for a truly luxurious experience. In fact, its so luxurious that each dropper contains the essential oils from on e full Damask rose.

This blend of CBD, rose essential oil, tamanu oil, and grapeseed oil works to maintain an even tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Just one daily dropper of this Smart Spectrum blend will moisturize your skin and promote a youthful glow. Nature's Ultra CBD Beauty Boost is ideal for all skin types, so no matter what your needs are, CBD Beauty Boost can help!

Key Ingredients
  • CBD - pure potent CBD with 0.0% THC
  • Rose Essential Oil - beautiful, luxurious floral oil that beautifies, soothes, and moisturizes the skin to promote a youthful apperance
  • Tamanu Oil - smooth, nutty oil rich in fatty acids to improve the appearance of the skin and promote an even skin tone
  • Grapeseed Oil - oil rick in omega-6 fatty acids and antioxidants to absorb quickly without leaving the skin feeling oily
To Use
  • Add 1-2 droppers to your hand and apply evenly to your face, neck, chest, or anywhere you could use a moisturizing boos. For best results, shake well before using and mix with your favorite Young Living beauty products.
  • Make a DIY Beauty Serum and use moving and evening.

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:

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.

The Feelings Kit Ditch and Switch - May 2021


The Feelings Kit

May Ditch & Switch


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 emotions this month and switch out conventional coping mechanisms for healthier, healing options. 

For May, we are focusing on digging deep to release all our comfort vices, sit with and honor our experiences and trauma, and to the emotional work needed to move forward in healing and self love. Instead of turning to things like detachment, Netflix binges, alcohol, food, sugar, shopping, work, projects or any other comfort measures that keep us from truly processing the emotions beneath, we are going to pull out the Feelings Kit and use these oil blends with intention and consistency.

WHY WE USE IT

Why use these essential oils (or any Young Living oils at all) for this process? Because of the power of aromatherapy and the limbic system. Our sense of smell is directly related to our emotions and mood. The cranial nerve associated with smell sits next to the hypothalamus - the area of the brain responsible for mood, feelings, and emotional processing.

Further, the Feelings Kit blends contain a combination of essential oils high in compounds that can cross the blood brain barrier to reprogram bad coding from the cells. The other compounds rewrite that code to restore the original perfect copy, one that will not keep us pulled into the physical and emotional effects of stress.

This is a process, but the great thing about essential is that we have CHOICE to embrace that process instead of loading our bodies up with lots of toxins and other things that create more confusion in the cells.

The feelings collection includes six essential oil blends, each of which is a powerful tool for supporting and releasing emotional patterns. Use in the morning and evening to promote peaceful thought and spiritual harmony.

Harmony essential oil blend
(info via Carissa Sherman)

Harmony essential oil blend helps to release toxic benefits and though patterns related to feeling ignored, crushed, hostile, afraid of punishment, beating ourselves up, sarcasm, and stubbornness.

  • When we feel ignored, our perception is that we are not a part of the big picture. We aren't good enough, worthy enough, or able to play our part.
  • When we are crushed, we are collapsing inwardly. Who we are has been forced down and suppressed. We stop seeing our part.
  • When we are hostile, we are quick to see others as the enemy, and everything in life as an opposition to our part. We are trying to play alone, because we can't trust the other parts.
  • Fear of punishment is the opposite of love. When we are beating ourselves up, we actually turn from love into fear. These are opposites.
  • Sarcasm is an emotion that develops from long-term exposure to incongruent words and actions. Example: witnessing hypocrisy, or long periods of time living with someone who brings drama or trouble on themselves, remaining clueless to the cause. This emotion produces "mocking." Instead of harmony, it creates a repetitive and offensive sound that interrupts the notes of others.
To Use:
  • When there are situations where you are experiencing some of the emotions listed above, sit or stand still until you feel where that emotion is causing a sensation in your body. It might feel like pain, twitching, tingling, aching, nausea, heat, cold, or a general tension.
  • Rub harmony over the area (or just nearby if its sensitive), and hold your hand over the spot.
  • Take several deep breaths. This is a simple step to become aware of the mind-body connections. 
Its okay if you don't know how to fix all of these issues right this minute. Begin embracing the idea that you have a part to play, a harmony that only you can add to the relationships and opportunities in your life.

Forgiveness oil blend
(info adapted from Carissa Sherman and Eryn Jones)

The oils in the Forgiveness blend are high frequency oils, Melissa, Geranium, Frankincense, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Coriander, Angelica, Bergamot, Lemon, Ylang ylang, Jasmine, Helichrysum, Roman Chamomile, Palmarosa and ROSE! These oils work synergistically together to create a calm, uplifting environment when forgiving yourself and others.

This blend can help us release the stagnant, toxic thoughts stuck in our body's memory that act as a safety mechanism. They were encoded in our past when we felt unsafe, and from that point on, all of our senses have been given a warning note that says something like "people will hurt me when they get too close," or "men/women can't be trusted," or "I am not lovable," among other signals. These memories can be triggered by sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell, and they show up in our current experiences and pull us down. The most common emotional patterns created are Self-Denial, Revenge, and Distrust.

The problem is that our bodies can't tell the difference in an emotional threat and a physical threat. When we start feeling emotionally vulnerable after these messages have been encoded, the body will send warnings, sometimes thousands of times per day, to keep us alive. We want to reverse these patterns, to restore the blubbering of our original ability to be at PEACE.

Emotions associated with Forgiveness:

Distrust (felt in the gut)
  • Distrust results from being stressed, and stress is caused by many subconscious messages pulling us in different directions. To establish a healthier pattern of trust, we need "integrity," which is where our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions can become consistent. No more secret messages internally scattering our thoughts.
  • Old pattern: Distrust.  New pattern: Integrity
  • Affirmation: "I honor truth."
  • We can release old trauma and untruth that is stuck in the body, and we move forward with integrity.
Wanting Revenge (Felt in the head, back of neck)
  • There is no such thing as turning your feelings off or magically being detached, so what we are doing here is to move in a different direction with a new and greater purpose - to detach or remove ourselves from the mission of revenge.
  • When you diffuse Forgiveness, if relationships where you have wanted someone to get paid back resurface in your memory, you can take a moment to establish a thought pattern.
  • Old pattern: Revenge.  New pattern: Detachment (move in a new direction.
  • Affirmation: "I have a new mission. I am letting go of the old."
Self-Denial (felt in back of neck, base of skull)
  • The most common root of denying our own needs is expecting other to know what we need before we have asked. This leads to living with a spirit of neglect, blaming others, and unforgiveness. In fact, it often looks like taking care of everything under the sun EXCEPT for ourselves, and an underlying thought cycle that we are "the only one who does anything around here."
  • Old pattern: Self-denial.  New pattern: Wisdom.
  • Affirmation: "I support myself."
When using Forgiveness blend, meditate on the opposite of the above emotions - supporting yourself, finding awareness to honor your own truth, detaching from allowing someone else to have a say over your worth and value.

Use the mantras below as you apply the oil, sit with the feelings until you feel a shift. Oils are very powerful in helping to create new pathways in the brain.

Mantras to pair with Forgiveness blend:
  • I have courage to honor my truth.
  • I learn from all experiences.
  • I forgive (others or myself).
  • I support myself.
  • I am worthy.

Inner Child oil blend
(info via Carissa Sherman)

Inner Child essential oil blend releases emotions that distort memories in our cells. Think of this like a picture or video of past events where little edits were made to present something threatening, even if that was not the case. The symptoms of this vary widely, but we might notice some patterns:

  • When someone tries to be honest, especially friends/family, we continually hear their voice criticizing us for months afterward.
  • We find ourselves revisiting the same short list of past hurts on a regular basis, telling stories about what someone did or said to us, thinking each time that if we just vent... the pressure of that pain or offense will let up.
  • We create an image of ourselves (typically a bad one) and no matter what we do to take care of ourselves, that recording makes sure we stay ashamed, disappointed, and hopeless, or...
  • We finally start feeling better about ourselves because we have fulfilled an imaginary list of "things that will make us feel accomplished" - only to find that the stress of keeping up with that list starts to slowly steal from our relationships or our sanity.
Inner Child blend is sometimes referred to as "The Therapist." When you visit a therapist, they do their work, not by talking, but through listening. They encourage you to share the feelings, past, and thoughts that make up you inner workings. To process through how you came to your patterns, actions, and current beliefs.

Many times there were situations where someone as a child felt unseen, unheard, or unvalued. In order to move forward, it is important to look back and allow that inner child to speak. When we consider what a child will need, we begin to see our own needs more clearly. It's obvious to us that a child who has experienced something new or difficult would require additionally help and attention to deal with that event.

Some practicalness for this blend are:
  • Overcoming the trauma of abuse
  • Promoting acceptance
  • Accepting our own needs
  • Stimulating an emotional healing process
  • Releasing obsessive habits and patterns
  • Supporting the mind, body, and emotions during periods of transition.
  • For children who struggle with intense fear, trouble letting go and moving on, or who have been uprooted or experienced a traumatic change - this oil will be a huge support.
To Use:
  • Place several drops of Inner Child in your diffuser. you can also apply some around the navel and rub a drop into your palms to inhale directly.
  • Use this blend on and around you consistently. Our emotion patterns that took a lifetime to form aren't going to get unraveled completely in one day.

Present Time oil blend

Present Time is an oil blend of Neroli, Spruce and Ylang Ylang in a base of almond oil, making it wonderful for direct application or diffusing. Present Time helps you focus on the here and now, so you can get beyond the past and move forward. When paired with the other oils from the Feelings Kit, this is a powerful tool for truly bing present with your current experiences and releasing the pain of the past.

Neroli: used by the ancient Egyptians fo rite healing of mind, body and spirit. Neroli is stabilizing and strengthening to the emotions, promotes peace, confidence and awareness, brings mental awareness to alleviate anxiety, depression and insomnia.

Spruce: opens and releases emotional blocks, fosters a sense of balance and founding.

Ylang Ylang: promotes relaxation balances male and female energies, restores confidence and equilibrium, alleviates insomnia.

This blend of oils creates a strong, encouraging scent to increase the ability to focus on the present moment. As busy people, parents, care givers, employees, etc. we can become so focused on the next deadline, task or responsibility, and it becomes very easy to lose sight of what is directly in front of us. The stack of papers or dishes or laundry seems so time sensitive that we rush through the people in front of us - children, spouses, partners, friends, even ourselves. Present Time helps us to allow ourselves to give and receive in the present even when we have been hurt in the past.

Release oil blend

Release is a blend of Ylang Ylang, Olive oil, Lavandin, Geranium, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Grapefruit, Tangerine, Spearmint, Lemon, Blue Cypress, Davana (a POWERFUL emotional oil), Kaffir Lime, Ocotea, Jasmine, Chamomile, Blue Tansy (highly supportive and calming to the Central Nervous System), and ROSE. These oils are high frequency and powerful for allowing us to tap into the root of our emotional distress, honor the past experiences and release the pain to move forward in our full potential.

Release is a helpful blend to aid in releasing anger and memory trauma from the liver in order to create emotional wellbeing. It helps open the subconscious mind through pineal stimulation (sandalwood and tansy stimulate the pineal gland) to release deep-seated trauma.

For our purposes, trauma can be defined as "any situation where you got less than you needed and were not equipped to process it." These traumas actually get stored deep within our cellular memory, and we can use the limbic system of the brain to help shift our thoughts and emotions around these traumas and patterns.

Helps Release feelings of:
  • Anger
  • Frustration
  • Being held back
  • Rebellion
  • Feeling wronged
  • Fear of success
  • Loss of identity
Helps promote feelings of:
  • Cleansing
  • Freedom
  • Harmony
  • Unconditional love
To Use:
  • Diffuse throughout the day.
  • Diffuse with lavender at bedtime.
  • Apply topically to wrists, over the heart, to the edge of ears and feet.
  • Remember to use it EVERY DAY! Repeat a positive affirmation that rings true to your situation.
  • Affirmations: "I am safe. I am loved. I am valued. I am enough just as I am right now."

Valor oil blend

Valor's woodsy, positive scent comes from a blend of Black Spruce, Blue Tansy, and Frankincense. Valor is helpful for many emotions around our fight or flight response, thus it's battle-worthy name. In fact, this oil is inspired by oils that Roman soldiers would bathe in before battle. The oils would sit atop the water in their bath houses and this special blend was added before a big battle. When they rose from the water, the oils would soak and stay on their skin to help prepare them for something big and scary ahead.

This blend can also be a key oil in overcoming emotional abuse and recovering from trauma. It's a powerhouse when facing a trial or season of adversity because its natural properties help align the body both emotionally and physically. Remember emotions and trauma are often stored in the physical tissues and fascia of our bodies and oils help release stuck emotions and tension at a physical level from specific parts of the body:

  • Feeling resigned (like you can't fight it) - diaphragm
  • Feeling like you are losing a battle - just below lower lip
  • Fear of conflict - abdomen, just above right and left hips
  • Feeling aggressive - abdomen, just above right and left hips
  • Feeling defensive - stomach
Valor has properties that get to the core control centers of the negative emotional programs. When we're ready to make a change, to start challenging that 'fight or flight' survival mode with a better way of thinking and living, this is the perfect oil.

Using Valor for emotional support can be as simple as applying some to your shoulders, the bottoms of your feet, the back of your neck, or anywhere that you're experiencing tension or a stressful tightness in your body. One great technique is to place a drop or two of Valor between your wrists (palm-up side) and then hold them together for a few minutes.

It's ultimate diffuser oil with it's deep, grounding scent. If you're taking time to relax, meditate, or work on your spiritual and emotional health, you can just hold your wrists together while you're sitting quietly.

The Feelings Protocol

It has been said that when there's a conflict between reason and feeling, we humans always tend to side with feeling. As Dr Gary Young has said, "99% of life’s decisions are made from feelings."

That’s why if we want our lives to be guided by good decisions that lead to health, happiness, and contentment, we need to be aware of and in control of our present feelings. By focusing on fixing our feelings, we can fix most aspects of our lives - physical, mental, and spiritual.

And the perfect way to do this? Young Living’s Feelings Kit! Yup! 

The primary protocol is to apply these feelings oils before work and every night before bed. Try this for 30 days and notice all the delightful changes the Feelings Kit Protocol will bring into your life.

If you are wrestling with big emotions or trying to process hard situations, here is a great protocol developed by Gary Young that you can follow using the Feelings Kit:

Step 1Apply Valor to the bottoms of your feet to balance your feelings.
Valor's inspiring and calming aroma will help you greet each morning with a positive attitude or refocus at the end of a challenging day.

Step 2 - Apply Harmony on the chakra points to allow negative energy to escape. Harmony's uplifting to the mind, helps you become more creative and confident.
There are seven points along the spine:
  1. Coccyx
  2. Sacrum
  3. Lumbar
  4. Dorsal (heart)
  5. Cervical (where the neck meets your shoulders)
  6. Medulla (hollow place at the center base of the skull)
  7. Pineal (center of forehead)
Step 3 - Apply Forgiveness clockwise on the navel and let go of negative emotions.
Sometimes when others do us harm (or when we do harm on others), we struggle to forgive (them or even our own mistakes). But we owe ourselves forgiveness. To forgive means to free ourselves from negative emotions. To forgive is an act of self-love. Here are 5 steps to forgiveness:
  1. Forgive yourself for allowing the person to affect your health and happiness.
  2. Forgive the other person for any harm he/she may have caused you (this doesn't need to be done in person, as this is just an inner-adjustment on your part).
  3. Give the other person permission to forgive you.
  4. See the good in the situation.
  5. Be thankful for the experience and the lessons you gained from it.
Step 4 - Apply Present Time to the wrists and behind the ears to lift the burdens of the world.
Nothing good can be obtained by living in the past. "Today" is where we need to live to achieve true happiness and fulfillment. And Present Time helps with that - it is so empowering - it creates a feeling of being in the moment.

Step 5 - Apply Release over the front and back liver in a circular motion and wait as feelings of frustration are lifted.
Peace is achieved when we release ourselves from the negative emotions. Release blend facilitates the ability to let go of such emotions, promoting harmony and balance.

Step 6 - Apply 1-2 drops of Inner Child just under your nose to open the pathway to connecting with your inner self.
"When you are a child, all things are possible. There are no limitations," says Dr. Gary Young. Stimulate your memory and reconnect with your authentic self through the sweet fragrance of Inner Child. This is an essential step to achieve emotional balance.

Step 7 - Reapply Valor essential oil to complete the cleansing of feelings and provide completeness and balance.
Relax and unwind for a few minutes more and let yourself shift into a new state. Through time, you will be amazed at how big changes can come in a gentle way.

Join us this month as we dig deep to release our vices, sit with and honor our past experiences, and do the emotional work needed to move forward in healing and self love.

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.

  • 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!

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!
