DiGize Essential Oil Spotlight
DiGize essential oil blend combines Tarragon, Ginger, Peppermint, Juniper, Lemongrass, Anise, and Patchouli oils for a spicy, blend known to soothe the stomach. It also contains Fennel essential oil, which people have used for a broad range of purposes since the ancient Egyptians like aiding digestion and elimination. While usually not everyone's favorite scent, it is often their favorite instant result when used after meals!
One of the ways I used to feel the most powerless when taking care of our health prior to oils was with any type of stomach discomfort. Then we found DiGize. Now every member of my family knows to grab that red bottle at the first signs of rumblings.
DiGize is formulated to provide a calming aromatic experience. The complex aroma comes from the variety of oils in the blend. Tarragon and Ginger provide the herbaceous and spicy undertones, while Juniper and Patchouli combine for a calming aroma.

DiGize & Emotions
Did you know that all of our essential oils have stress relieving benefits - even if they don't have a special name? It's easy to remember to grab the Joy, Stress Away, or Peace & Calming when it comes to dealing with less “physical” issues, but when you put together a list of your must have basic oils, no matter what they are, they will all be supporting your emotional functions as well.
One of the heavy-hitters in the list up of basic oils is DiGize. It can help us process feelings of being disillusioned with life and people. We all have moments where we need some of that to focus back on the future and all the hope available there.
DiGize can also help release feelings of anger or frustration as it supports digestion and the liver.
DiGize Vitality
DiGize Vitality is the same essential oil blend as DiGize. It is simply relabeled for internal use.

DIY Lemon Ginger Cough Drops
While we are big fans of the Thieves Cough Drops, sometimes you just want something a little different. Try these simple homemade cough drops with lemon, ginger, and clove! This combination can help soothe a sore throat and suppress coughs naturally. Recipe is adapted from Hello Glow.
Supplies Needed:
- Small saucepan
- Baking sheet
- Unbleached parchment paper
- Candy thermometer (optional)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup organic coconut or granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon raw honey (ideally local honey)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 5 drops Lemon Vitality
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger (can add more for taste)
- 2 drops Ginger Vitality
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1 drop Clove Vitality
- Powdered sugar or cornstarch for coating
Directions:
- Gather your ingredients, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine all ingredients except the powdered sugar/cornstarch in a saucepan and heat to 300F. Whisk frequently while cooking to prevent sticking and check the coloring and consistency of the solution.
- After about 10-20 minutes, test the consistency by dropping a small of the solution amount into ice water. If the cough drop cracks, the solution is ready. If it is still chewy, then cook the mixture for 5 more minutes. Repeat as needed.
- Remove from the heat completely, add essential oils, and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Then, drop small circles onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust lightly with powdered sugar or cornstarch (to prevent sticking together). Alternatively, wrap each cough drop in wax paper. Store in an airtight container away from heat or moisture.
