Cassia Spotlight - Sept 2025

Cassia Essential Oil
Spotlight

Often overshadowed by its cousin Cinnamon Bark, Cassia is a hidden gem with powerful benefits for both the mind and body. This oil is bold, energizing, and grounding - all wrapped in a sweet, spicy scent that feels like a warm hug.

If you’re looking to support your immune system, boost circulation, lift your spirits naturally, or create the coziest warm space,  this is the oil you’ll want in your wellness toolkit.

Just a Drop of Cassia

  • Warming and spicy aroma, similar to cinnamon but slightly sweeter
  • Supports immune and digestive health
  • Helps with healthy blood sugar levels and circulation
  • Soothes tired or achy muscles
  • Uplifts mood and eases feelings of stress or low energy
  • Pairs beautifully with citrus, woodsy, or floral oils
Cassia essential oil has a rich, warm scent reminiscent of autumn baking, but its power goes far beyond aroma. With a long-standing reputation in traditional medicine, this oil is both grounding and invigorating - making it ideal for fall routines when our bodies and minds crave warmth, resilience, and balance.

Background

Cassia has been used for thousands of years in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for its ability to support digestion, stimulate circulation, and strengthen the immune system. Historically, it was also used in religious ceremonies and even mentioned in ancient texts, including the Bible, Ebers Papyrus, and ancient Egyptian prescription lists.

Today, Cassia is cherished not only for its therapeutic qualities but also for its vibrant scent, often found in perfumes and natural cleaning products.

The oil is extracted through steam distillation of the tree’s branches, leaves, and petioles, resulting in a potent, reddish-brown essential oil that embodies both strength and sweetness.

Cassia & Emotions

Cassia is more than just a physical support - it’s emotionally grounding and energetically uplifting. It’s known to boost feelings of courage, self-confidence, and creativity.

If you're feeling emotionally stuck, uninspired, or weighed down by stress or sadness, Cassia can help awaken your inner fire. Diffuse it during your morning routine, or apply (well diluted) to pulse points as an emotional anchor. Because it’s such a stimulating oil, it pairs beautifully with softer oils like lavender or frankincense to bring balance.

Cassia, The Heartwarmer

In Chinese medicine there are fascinating theories around using herbs with certain properties to balance the body. Conditions are categorized by influences such as cold vs. heat. Imbalance of “cold” relates to stiffness, decreased energy and vitality, lethargy, and congested flow of all of the body’s fluids.

Cassia is an herb of warmth that brings an invigorating energy into our organs and immune system. This oil is supportive of the heart, lungs, and digestive system, increasing movement when these systems are weakened.

We can remember Cassia’s benefits as heartwarming, like the friend who always helps us find our spark in life again, who kindles our dreams and shares their own energy with us, lifting our spirits.

Cassia and Health Benefits

Antioxidant Support

Much like its cousin Cinnamon, Cassia is rich in antioxidants that fight free radical damage within the body. Inflammation and oxidative stress are linked to a host of health issues including cancer.

Circulation

Cassia’s warming nature stimulates circulation, which can be especially helpful during the colder months. Improved circulation supports overall vitality and can even reduce the feeling of cold hands and feet.

Digestive Health

Traditionally used to ease nausea, bloating, and sluggish digestion, Cassia can be diluted and applied to the abdomen or diffused to support a healthy gut response—especially after a heavy meal.

Immune Health + Cleansing Properties

Thanks to its antibacterial and antiviral properties, Cassia is a powerful oil to have on hand during seasonal changes. Diffusing it regularly can help purify the air and support immune defenses. Some studies even show antifungal effects of this oil, making it a great choice for diffusing and cleaning!

Blood Sugar Balance

Cassia is known to help support healthy blood sugar levels and may benefit those with diabetes. “More research is needed to determine the potential of cassia oil as an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes, but the increased interest in this oil’s ability to naturally treat such problematic conditions is very promising.”

Muscles & Arthritis

Cassia’s anti-inflammatory and warming properties make it soothing for sore, stiff muscles and joints. In fact, some studies show it to be comparable to COX-II inhibitors like OTC pain relievers! Dilute with a carrier oil and massage into areas of discomfort for natural relief.

Key Constituents
*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

  • Cinnamaldehyde - Supports immune health, antimicrobial, gives Cassia its signature scent
  • Cinnamyl acetate - Calming to the nervous system, adds a sweet undertone to aroma
  • Linalool - Known for calming and anti-inflammatory properties
  • Beta-caryophyllene - Supports inflammation reduction and immune modulation
Daily Habits with Cassia

Use in your self-care routine. Cassia is considered a “hot” oil, meaning it should be diluted before applying to the skin

Add 1 drop to a warm foot soak with Epsom salts for circulation and muscle support.

Make a simple massage oil with 20 drops of Cassia and ¼ cup carrier oil to massage onto legs for circulation.

Dilute and apply to the abdomen after meals to ease digestion.

Combine with coconut oil for a warming muscle rub (great for menstrual cramping!).

Add it to your Daily Wellness Roller:
  • 10mL roller bottle
  • 10 drops each: Cassia, Oregano, Frankincense, Lemon, and RC or Raven
  • Fill with carrier oil of choice
    Roll over the spine and lymph nodes morning and evening
Add a couple drops of to your favorite perfume roller for a warm, spicy undertone.
  • Joy, Tangerine + Cassia
  • Jasmine, Neroli, Stress Away + Cassia
  • Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Tangerine + Cassia

  • 1/4 cup solid coconut oil
  • 5 drops Vanilla
  • 5 drops Cassia
    Mix essential oils and brown sugar in a glass bowl until well blended, then add coconut oil until the scrub reaches your desired consistency
    Massage the skin in a circular motion and rinse well. This also makes a lovely gift!

Use to create a cozy home.

Drop onto pinecones, garlands and other seasonal decor to create a simple passive diffuser.

Add 20-30 drops to your Thieves Household Cleaner.

Clove Spotlight - Sept 2025

Clove Essential Oil
Spotlight

Clove essential oil has a warm, spicy aroma that is lovely on its own and adds so much depth to other scents! This oil is rich and inviting, cleansing the air and creating a welcoming environment when diffused.

Applied to the skin with a carrier oil, Clove creates a warming sensation which is soothing to the muscles. It is also a powerhouse antioxidant that helps support the immune system and overall wellness. In fact, Clove is one of the ingredients in the beloved Thieves Essential Oil Blend!

Just a Drop of Clove

  • Has a warm, spicy, inviting aroma that pairs well with citrus, spice and tree oils
  • Creates a warm, welcoming environment and eliminates odors when diffused
  • Creates a warming sensation when applied topically and is soothing to sore, tired muscles and joints
  • Supports immune health and overall wellness
  • Great addition to household cleaning products like Thieves Household Cleaner
  • Can help relieve dental discomfort
  • Has the highest known ORAC value, a measure of antioxidant capacity
  • A main component of Longevity blend and supplement
Background

Clove has been used in the natural health world for centuries. It was listed in Hildegard's Medicine, a compilation of early German medicines by highly regarded Benedictine Herbalists, Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179).

Native to the Maluku Islands of Indonesia, the clove tree is a tropical evergreen species that produces thousands of small, fragrant flower buds. These buds are harvested when they ripen to a deep red color, then dried and steam distilled to produce Clove essential oil.

Healers in China and India have used clove buds since ancient times as part of their treatments for various needs – stomach issues, heart needs, emotions, and more. Eugenol, cloves' principal constituent, was used in the dental industry for years to numb gums and ease dental discomfort.

Clove & the Immune System

Clove bud (Syzygium aromaticum) essential oil is a commonly studied defender against many strains of bacteria (a quick PubMed search will show you lots of great studies!).

Clove bud essential oil is composed primarily (80+%) of the molecule Eugenol. Eugenol is a potent defender against numerous harmful bacteria. The Eugenol molecule loves to hang around moist surfaces. Clove bud oil also contains about 10% of a related molecule Eugenyl acetate – also a strong defender against bacteria.

Clove was a primary ingredient of the “Four Thieves Vinegar” which protected bandits who rummaged the homes and graves of the dead during the black plague. This recipe is the basis for our beloved Thieves Essential Oil Blend!

Clove essential is also loaded with powerful antioxidants, such as polyphenols. Antioxidants are a huge bolster to health since so much of our modern life can create oxidative stress in the body. Antioxidants also help support the body's response to inflammation, which plays a role in almost all chronic diseases.

Clove is a key ingredient in the Longevity Essential Oil Blend and the Longevity supplement -- a great choice for overall wellness and promoting longevity!

Clove & Emotions

In Chinese medicine there are fascinating theories around using herbs with certain properties to balance the body. Conditions are categorized by influences such as cold vs. heat. Imbalance of “cold” relates to stiffness, decreased energy and vitality, lethargy, and congested flow of all of the body's fluids.

Clove and Cinnamon Bark are herbs of warmth that bring an invigorating energy into our organs and immune system. Clove is a powerful antioxidant, making it supportive of the heart, lungs, and digestive system, increasing movement when these systems are weakened.

Starbs Run Diffuser Blends - Sept 2025

Starbs Run Diffuser Blends

There’s nothing quite like that first whiff of your favorite coffee shop drink - the sweet, the spicy, the warm, the fresh. Now you can bring those comforting café vibes into your home with these diffuser blends, each inspired by a beloved hot beverage.

Whether you’re craving the zesty lift of Honey Mint Citrus, the spicy hug of Cozy Chai, or the decadent sweetness of Peppermint Hot Chocolate, these blends will fill your space with the same inviting aromas you love from your go-to coffee shop.

So grab your oils, press “brew” on your diffuser, and let’s run to the coffee shop - no drive-thru required.

Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time. 

LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!

To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.

To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!

To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.

To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.

Back to School - If You're Feeling Diffuser Blends - August 2025

If You're Feeling...
Back to School Diffuser Blends

The back-to-school season brings a swirl of emotions - from excitement and motivation to nerves and overwhelm. Whether you're a student, parent, or educator, navigating these shifts can feel like a rollercoaster.

Thankfully, nature offers powerful support through essential oils. This guide pairs six common back-to-school emotions with carefully selected single oils, helping you stay balanced, focused, and grounded as the school year begins. Use them in the diffuser, a roller blend, or simply apply them straight from the bottle and let scent be your steady companion through the season of new beginnings.

Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time. 

If You're Feeling... Excited - Diffuse: Grapefruit

Grapefruit is energizing, fresh, and emotionally uplifting. It captures that “new beginnings” buzz without being overstimulating.

Use when you’re buzzing with anticipation — or need a natural boost to match that energy.


If You're Feeling... Anxious - Diffuse: Roman Chamomile

Roman Chamomile is deeply calming for the nervous system, easing tension and helping with sleep and overwhelm.

Perfect for the night before the first day or when schedules feel chaotic.


If You're Feeling... Overwhelmed - Diffuse: Frankincense

Frankincense is grounding and centering. It helps quiet the mind and promotes focus - ideal when to-do lists feel never-ending.

Think of it as a deep breath in a bottle.


If You're Feeling... Motivated - Diffuse: Rosemary

Rosemary stimulates memory, focus, and drive. It’s excellent for study sessions, early mornings, or sluggish afternoons.

Sharpens the mind and helps shake off procrastination.

If You're Feeling... Sad - Diffuse: Bergamot

Bergamot is known for its mood-lifting and emotionally balancing effects. It comforts and softens heavy feelings without sedation.

Great for both kids and parents who feel the emotional pull of transition.

If You're Feeling... Confident - Diffuse: Cedarwood

Cedarwood promotes emotional strength, self-assurance, and calm presence. It’s steady and stabilizing, perfect for interviews, tests, or new social settings.

Smells like inner strength and quiet bravery.

Whether you're looking to boost confidence, deepen your sense of love, or maintain calmness amidst the excitement, these specially selected oils provide a harmonious accompaniment to your once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Embrace each moment with the perfect scent to match your emotions, ensuring your wedding day is both memorable and magical.

LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!

To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.

To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!

To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.

To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.

Happy diffusing!!

Daily Hormone Essentials Spotlight - July 2025

Daily Hormone Essentials Spotlight

Feel balanced naturally with Daily Hormone Essentials. This clinically backed, plant-powered supplement offers daily hormone support through PMS, perimenopause, and menopause - all in one easy, on-the-go pouch. 

Daily Hormone Essentials at a Glance

  • Helps support healthy mood and energy throughout the month
  • Promotes balanced cortisol levels and supports restful sleep
  • Supports comfort through hot flashes, night sweats, and hormonal transitions
  • Supports mental clarity, memory, and cognitive function
  • Formulated with herbal extracts, essential oils, and minerals
  • NO Hormones, added sugars artificial colors artificial sweeteners artificial preservatives
Daily Hormone Essentials is a hormone-free women’s hormonal health supplement that blends clinically studied botanicals, adaptogens, and essential oils into a fast-absorbing gel. It supports healthy energy, libido, mood, restful sleep, cortisol balance, and everyday stress management - while promoting comfort through hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, and fatigue. All that without added sugar or the side effects of typical hormone therapy. Simply sip and feel like you again at every stage of life.

Background

Hormonal changes are a natural part of life, but that doesn’t mean they’re easy. Whether it’s PMS, perimenopause, or menopause, shifts in estrogen and progesterone can lead to mood swings, low energy, brain fog, hot flashes, and other not-so-fun symptoms.

That’s where Daily Hormone Essentials comes in. This hormone- free, plant-powered supplement gives you daily support through all three stages of your hormonal journey. It blends clinically studied herbal extracts, adaptogens, and essential oils into one fast-absorbing gel - no pills, powders, or added hormones needed.

Key Ingredients

  • Herbal complex - Your hormone’s BFF. A clinically studied blend of red giant angelica (Angelica gigas), silk plant (Cynanchum wilfordii), and fireweed (Phlomis umbrosa) that promotes comfort through menopause’s curveballs - hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, vaginal dryness, fatigue, and more - while supporting a healthy mood throughout the month. All without the side effects of typical hormone therapy.
  • Chaste tree berry - Keeps the roller coaster in check. This period sidekick offers support for hormonal balance and common PMS symptoms.
  • Ashwagandha - The chill-out root. This adaptogen helps support restful sleep, balanced cortisol, mental clarity, and healthy everyday stress management.
  • Maca root - The all-in adaptogen. Maca root is often used to support reproductive health and provide comfort through menopause. Some research also suggests that it may help support mood and ease everyday stress.
  • Frankincense - Ancient wisdom meets modern extraction. The patents-pending DeepSpectra technology uses Frankincense essential oil to unlock powerful compounds from the resin, studied for their potential to support women’s hormonal health and natural hormone balance.
  • Magnesium glycinate - The mellow mineral. This highly bioavailable form of magnesium supports restful sleep, relaxed muscles, and a chill nervous system when you need it most.
Clinical Studies at a Glance

The herbal complex in Daily Hormone Essentials is clinically shown to:
  • Promote comfort through menopausal transition, including hot flashes, numbness and tingling, insomnia, nervousness, vertigo, fatigue, joint discomfort, and vaginal dryness
  • Lead to a 62% improvement in KMI (Kupperman Menopausal Index) score compared to placebo
  • Deliver results with none of the side effects of typical hormone therapy
  • Read the studies themselves right here, right here, right here, here, and here.
At the heart of this formula is a herbal complex shown in three randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled clinical studies to promote comfort through hormonal transitions. One of these studies showed it helped with these 12 common symptoms:
  • Hotflashes
  • Numbness and tingling
  • Insomnia
  • Nervousness
  • Mood dips
  • Vertigo
  • Fatigue
  • Joint discomfort
  • Headaches
  • Pounding heart
  • Crawling skin sensation
  • Vaginal dryness
Adaptogens & Your Hormones

Daily Hormone Essentials also contains two adaptogens: ashwagandha and maca root. Adaptogens are plants that support your body’s ability to respond to everyday stress in a healthy way. They work by supporting balanced levels of cortisol, your main stress hormone.

Here’s why that matters: When you’re stressed, your body turns on the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis (your fight-or- flight system). That’s helpful short term, but if stress sticks around, this system stays on and keeps pumping out cortisol. Too much cortisol can throw off your reproductive axis and lead to potential suppression of your gonadotropin-releasing hormone (necessary for balancing estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone), which in turn lowers the production of the luteinizing hormone you need to ovulate and have a menstrual cycle.

Chronic stress doesn’t just mess with your hormones though; it can also lower your sex drive. And when that happens, you can end up feeling even more stressed! That’s why adaptogens like ashwagandha are so beneficial. They support balanced cortisol levels, thereby also helping maintain healthy hormone balance and maybe even helping you feel more in the mood.

In fact, a 2015 study showed that the same form of ashwagandha we use in Daily Hormone Essentials and our PowerGize herbal supplement supports healthy sexual function. If you take both of these products daily as directed, you will reach the daily dosage of ashwagandha that was used in this promising study.

With Daily Hormone Essentials, you get support for balanced hormones and cortisol, healthy energy levels, and libido - all in one easy drink!

How To Use Daily Hormone Essentials

Take 1 sachet in the morning with food. Squeeze straight from the sachet or stir into warm water for fast-absorbing hormone support, anytime, anywhere.

Power of your Purchase - a note directly from Young Living

Your choice helps bring balance to yourself and the earth, while empowering girls in Ecuador.

Daily Hormone Essentials contains Ylang Ylang from our farm in Ecuador, where we’re helping young girls get a quality education at the Young Living Academy. Many of our students become the first in their families to graduate from high school, unlocking opportunities for themselves and their communities. We’re also working to restore endangered orchids on this farm.

The Lavender and Clary Sage in this plant-based hormone supplement come from farms in France and Utah, where we use pollinator-friendly practices, intercropping, and even sheep for weeding to protect soil health and biodiversity. And DeepSpectra Frankincense2 extract is made from upcycled plant material to reduce waste. 

We’re continuing to do our part by designing our sachets with sustainability in mind. Using less plastic helps reduce product waste compared to bulky tubs or bottles.

If You're Feeling Diffuser Blends - July 2025

If You're Feeling...
Summer Vacation Diffuser Blends

Summer is a season of movement - of memories in the making, sun-warmed days, and spontaneous joy. Whether you're packing for a road trip, lounging by the lake, or just dreaming of your next getaway, emotions can run the full spectrum: excitement, freedom, gratitude, boldness, and more.

This collection of diffuser blends is designed to match your mood with the perfect essential oils—so no matter how you're feeling this summer, your space can reflect it. Breathe in, slow down (or rev up!), and let these blends bring your summer story to life.

Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time. 

If You're Feeling... Adventurous - Diffuse: Abundance

For hiking, exploring, or following your curiosity.


If You're Feeling... Playful - Diffuse: Tangerine

Lighthearted and fun - like summer carnivals and carefree laughter.

If You're Feeling... Energized - Diffuse: Motivation

For when your excitement bubbles over - perfect before beach games, packing, or day trips.

If You're Feeling... Bold - Diffuse: Highest Potential

When you're ready to shine, take risks, or say yes to something big.

If You're Feeling... Free - Diffuse: Lime

Inspired by open skies, ocean drives, and wind-in-your-hair moments.

If You're Feeling... Grateful - Diffuse: Present Time

For soaking up the beauty of the now - sunsets, family dinners, or quiet mornings.
Whether you're looking to boost confidence, deepen your sense of love, or maintain calmness amidst the excitement, these specially selected oils provide a harmonious accompaniment to your once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Embrace each moment with the perfect scent to match your emotions, ensuring your wedding day is both memorable and magical.

LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!

To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.

To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!

To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.

To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.

Happy diffusing!!

Tea Tree Spotlight - June 2025

Tea Tree Spotlight

There’s something magical about opening a bottle of Tea Tree essential oil. That crisp, camphoraceous aroma? It smells like clean. Like clarity. Like nature’s version of hitting the reset button.

Beloved for its versatility and revered for its purifying powers, Tea Tree is the little bottle you didn’t know you needed - until now.

Tea Tree at a Glance

  • Naturally purifying and cleansing to the home and body
  • Great for blemish-prone skin and oily scalps
  • Fresh, medicinal scent that clears the mind and supports the airways
  • Great to use in DIY cleaners, skincare routines, and first aid kitsHas antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties
  • A must-have for travel or gym bags
Tea Tree essential oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) is like your reliable best friend - always there when you need a quick fix, especially for skin woes or musty smells. It’s the kind of oil that earns its place in every cabinet: whether it's helping with breakouts, soothing a scratchy scalp, or keeping your yoga mat fresh. Known for its strong antimicrobial powers, it’s our go-to for anything that needs a natural clean - from your face to your feet, and even your countertops.

Background

Tea Tree oil comes from the leaves of the Melaleuca tree, native to Australia. People have used this oil for centuries - crushing the leaves to treat wounds, colds, and infections. It wasn't until the 1920s that the rest of the world caught on, thanks to chemist Arthur Penfold’s research that revealed its remarkable antiseptic properties. Since then, Tea Tree has become a natural wellness staple, praised in both aromatherapy and conventional health circles.

Tea Tree & Skincare

If your skin could talk, it might just ask for Tea Tree. Known for its clarifying and soothing properties, this oil is especially beloved by those with oily or blemish-prone skin. A drop in your facial cleanser or toner can help combat acne-causing bacteria, while its anti-inflammatory properties may calm redness and irritation.

Tea Tree also works wonders on the scalp. Add a few drops to your shampoo to fight dandruff and buildup, or massage it into your scalp with a carrier oil for a deep treatment. For feet? It’s fantastic at keeping things fresh, especially in hot months or gym shoes.

Tea Tree & Emotions

Tea Tree might be best known for its physical benefits, but don’t overlook its emotional side. While it doesn’t smell traditionally “floral” or “relaxing,” this bold, herbaceous oil brings a refreshing clarity that can help sweep away mental fog and emotional clutter.

Energetically, Tea Tree is considered a cleansing oil - not just for the body, but for the mind and spirit too. It’s often used in aromatherapy to support emotional boundaries, making it a powerful ally when you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or weighed down by other people’s energy. Diffusing it during journaling or after a tense conversation can feel like opening a window in a stuffy room - clearing the air, literally and figuratively.

Emotionally, Tea Tree offers strength, resilience, and energetic protection. It can help restore a sense of personal space, especially when you're navigating stress, conflict, or emotional burnout.

Try this calming ritual:
Add 2–3 drops of Tea Tree to a diffuser with Lavender and Frankincense. Breathe deeply, visualize negativity clearing away, and set an intention for grounded strength.

Key Ingredients

  • Terpinen-4-ol - Main active compound, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory
  • Gamma-Terpinene - Supports immune response and has antioxidant effects
  • Alpha-Terpinene - Contributes to antimicrobial activity
  • 1,8-Cineole - Offers respiratory benefits (in low amounts in Tea Tree)
Daily Habits with Tea Tree

Tea Tree essential oil is proof that great things come in small, strong-smelling packages. Whether you’re sprucing up your skincare or making your own home cleaning products, this powerhouse oil deserves a front-row spot in your natural wellness lineup.

Use Tea Tree in your personal care & beauty routines

Apply Tea Tree topically (diluted) on location for its powerful cleansing properties. Use before applying a bandage or make a Pavement Spray:
  • 2 oz glass spray bottle
  • 25 drops Tea Tree
  • 15 drops Copaiba

Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender essential oil has a scent that's a wonderful blend of fresh, floral, clean, and calm. It's this dynamic aroma that has made the plant a classic for perfumes, soaps, freshness, and beauty products. 
Lavender is a great beginner oil and a must for every home - especially during the summer! Lavender essential oil isn't a favorite only because of its classic scent - its also highly versatile. From skin care products to relaxing routines, this oil can infuse and enhance many areas of your life.
Add Lavender and Tea Tree to your on-the-go wellness kit for the literal bumps in the road and make this simple, but effective Pavement Spray. The best part about this is that you don't have to rub it in onto tender skin! To a 2 oz glass or stainless steel spray bottle, add
  • 10 drops Lavender essential oil
  • 10 drops Frankincesne essential oil
  • 5 drops Myrrh or Helichrysm essential oil
  • 5 drops Tea Tree essential oil
  • Fill with fractionated coconut oil
    Spray onto knees, elbows, any skin that needs some TLC.
Make an Herbal Deodorizing Spray for pet beds, upholstered surfaces, car upholstery, etc. To a 2 oz glass spray bottle, add:
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 20 drops Tea Tree essential oil
  • 10 drops Lavender essential oil
  • 10 drops Grapefruit essential oil
  • 5 drops Peppermint essential oil
  • Pinch of salt or splash of witch hazel
  • Fill the rest with filtered water
    Spray lightly onto surfaces to remove unwanted odors.
Add Lavender essential oil to your skincare routine. Try this Gentle Bentonite Clay Cleanser & Mask. Mix everything together and store in a glass jar.
  • 4 tbsp Bentonite clay
  • 1 tbsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp calendula powder
  • 2 tsp chamomile powder
  • 1/2 tsp Vitamin C powder
    To Use - Place a nickel size amount of powder in your palm. Add a drop or two of Lavender (option to add Roman Chamomile as well) and a little water to form a paste. Apply to face and neck and let sit for 2-5 minutes to cleanse or up to 10 as a mask. Rinse with warm water.
Make Lavender a part of your bedtime routine. Diffuse, apply, massage onto shoulders, mix with water in a 2 oz glass spray bottle and spritz onto sheets.

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 Lavender this month!

To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!

To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.

To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.

Happy diffusing!!

Hello! I'm Jennifer Meckel

 

I am very passionate about helping you achieve the best YOU that you can be!


A little about myself. I live in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. I am married to a wonderful and supportive man named Sean since 2003 - all wonderful years. We have two smart and sassy daughters, Emmy is 10 and in 4th grade in the Mandarin Immersion program and Lilly is 6 and in kindergarten. I like to paper craft and make my own cards, I like to sew (though don’t have much time for that lately) and I just returned to belly dancing now that Lilly is getting bigger.


I’ve been using essential oils and infused products for since October 2015 and absolutely love this lifestyle and how it makes me and my family feel. I started my oily journey after sitting next to another mom at a play date.  We started talking about my infertility issues, and she suggested I try Young Living’s essential oils to support my hormones.  After a year of intentionally exercising, eating better, and using oils to support my hormones and emotions, I became pregnant with Lilly, right before my first time attending the International YL Convention in Salt Lake City in 2016. There is so much more to tell about this story, and I’m open and willing to share with you, if you are interested.


So, tell me more about yourself!  Tell me about the season of life you are in now. Tell me about your family. 


In health, wellness, and abundance!
