CBD - Ditch and Switch May 2022


Ditch & Switch

Coping Mechanisms for CBD


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 coping mechanisms that leave you feeling numb and zone out for ones that can support you towards healing.

CBD can be an incredible addition to your health routine when it comes to releasing stress and reducing feelings of anxiety. 

Whether you use it topically, choose to place the drops under your tongue, or use the muscle rub to reduce physical stress, CBD can be a powerful tool for your health! And when you use Nature's Ultra CBD from Young Living, you get the added benefit of essential oils for a 1+1+3 scenario.


Why we Love Nature's Ultra CBD Products

  • Includes the terpenes alpha-pinene, beta-myrcene, limonene, and sabinene
  • Infused with essential oils that further improve the efficacy of the CBD
  • Contains 0.0 % THC
  • Available in CBD Drops, CBD Roll-On, CBD Muscle Rub
If you're ready to ditch coping mechanisms that leave you feeling numb, zoned out, or worse than you did when you started them, reach for the CBD Drops or CBD Roll-on and find a way to physically process the emotions. Don't push them away or stuff them. Allow yourself to feel them, apply the CBD, and move your body to release stored emotions. Walk, swim, jog, dance - just move! This movement paired with CBD can help you process whereas buffering with a coping mechanism cannot.

CBD Calm Roll-On

The Calm CBD Roll-on is infused with essential oils like Lavender, Frankincense, Ylang Ylang, and Vetiver that can help create a peaceful environment, relax and quiet your mind, and wind down before bed. Roll generously onto the neck, chest and wrists as desired.

Eucalyptus Globulus essential oil
  • Contains a high percentage of eucalyptol
  • Helps create a sense of refreshment and renewal
  • Promotes health, well-being and healing
Frankincense essential oil (July 2021 Oil Spotlight)
  • Promotes meditation and relaxation
  • Known for its anointing and healing powers
  • Mentioned in one of the oldest known medical records
Lavender essential oil (June 2021 Oil Spotlight)
  • Calming and relaxing to the body, mind and emotions
  • Reduces mental stress and promotes relaxation
  • One of the few essential oils listed in the British Pharmacopeia
Orange essential oil (May 2022 Oil Spotlight)
  • Creates a sense of peace and harmony
  • Uplifting and relaxing
  • High in limonene
Vetiver essentail oil (May 2022 Oil Spotlight)
  • Used since ancient times for its anti-inflammatory properties
  • Grounding and calming with a woodsy aroma
  • Helps with stress and emotional trauma
  • May be helpful in attention disorders
Ylang Ylang essential oil
  • Uplifting and calming to the mind and body, especially the heart
  • Helps focus the thoughts and filter negativity
  • Can help enhance inner peace and combat anger
CBD & Emotions

Most of us know someone (or are someone) who struggles with mental health issues - most of America does - and even those who don't suffer from long-term emotional issues usually experience occasional symptoms. This is a big issue to unpack, but let's look at the role of CBD in managing emotions.

It's not news to us that our physical well being also has a profound impact on our emotional health. Inflammation, psychological stress and acute or chronic illness can actually cause your brain to shrink. The science-y term for this is 'hippocampal atrophy' and research is showing that CBD has some specific brain-healing properties.

Each of our thoughts creates a physical tract in our brains (neural pathways), and thoughts we visit repeatedly become physically ingrained in our brains. The good news is that it is possible for us to create new pathways, new nerve connections. CBD has specific properties that can help us rewire these tracts, especially when combined with other powerful tools like meditation, counseling and essential oils. 

Product Options

Join us this month as we make a big impact on our health by allowing our full range of emotions, leaving buffers behind and using CBD to help us process!

SleepEssence Supplement Spotlight - May 2022

SleepEssence

Supplement Spotlight



SleepEssence is a wonderful supplement for helping the body relax into its natural, restful sleep rhythm. It contains many sleep-supporting essential oils as well as melatonin to help you fall asleep and sleep well.

Just a Drop of SleepEssence

  • Formulated with Lavender and Valerian essential oils, which help promote restful sleep
  • Supports the body's natural sleep rhythm with melatonin
  • Promotes overall well-being when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle
  • Can be used to help promote rest whenever you need it
Sleep is a critical part of your health, both everyday wellness and when acute needs arise. Getting enough sleep can help reduce inflammation, make it easier to maintain a healthy weight, and improve everything from mental health to memory. Our bodies actually use sleep to repair cellular damage, fight off germs, to balance hormone levels, and reduce inflammation. Sleep is incredibly important!

Sleep Essence is a great way to support sleep, especially if used alongside diffusing and applying oils. The ingredients in SleepEssence help the body relax physically and mentally to find restful sleep.

  • Lavender - calming and relaxing to the mind and body (Lavender Spotlight)
  • Vetiver - high in sesquiterpenes, constituent that help reduce stress on the body
  • Valerian - helps the body relax into sleep more quickly and may improve sleep quality
  • Tangerine - helps relax the mind and body (Tangerine Spotlight)
  • Rue - helps calm the nervous system
  • Melatonin - widely know for its ability to regulate circadian rhythm
SleepEssence can be used anytime you are needing help when it comes to sleep, but as we mentioned earlier, sleep is essential when the body is run down. The body utilizes sleep to perform many immune system tasks to decrease inflammation and produce cells to fight infection.

How to Use SleepEssence

  • Take 1-2 soft gels 30-60 minutes before bedtime

Join us this month and beyond as we focus on getting adequate, high quality sleep - a cornerstone of good health.

Davana is a wonderful oil for uplifting the spirits and calming the mind.

This trio of oils will quickly become your favorite. The sweetness of Davana paired with citrusy Tangerine and herbaceous Lavender come together for a lovely blend that is wonderful any time of day.




Imagine lying in a hammock, late summer sun on your skin, a warm breeze blowing... the perfect scenario for an afternoon nap.

This blend is reminiscent of just that! Bright Lemon, calming Lavender, and beachy Stress Away combine for a blend that is wonderful for creating sweet summertime vibes.

Nothing says rest and relaxation more than a spa-like environment! Bring the spa to your home with these three started kit oils.

Citrus, Eucalyptus, Lavender and a little mint are the perfect spa-inspired blend.

Added bonus if you diffuse this combination during a shower or bath so the steam from the hot water enhances the experience!



Summer sunshine, citrusy treats, the scent of flowers on a warm breeze - the essentials of summer - and this blend has all of the above!

The combination is perfect for any time of day, but we especially love it in the mornings for helping everyone start off on the right foot.


Add these oils to your diffuser, breathe deeply, and slowly release your breath.

Repeat as you relax your shoulders and your jaw.

This trio is calming, uplifting, and can help you ground yourself at any point in your day.



In our modern world, stillness and rest don't come easy, and we have to be intentional about finding time to slow down, disconnect and simply be still.

When you are intentional with this practice, the noise of the outside world dies down, and you can find inner rest.

Add these oils to your diffuser, get comfy and just be still.

Golden Turmeric Supplement Spotlight - April 2022

Golden Turmeric

Supplement Spotlight


Turmeric is no stranger to the health scene. Young Living's Golden Turmeric powder supports the body's natural response to inflammation, immune response, joint health, mobility, and recovery after physical exertion because of it's incredible powerhouse ingredients - turmeric, Boswellia resin, and ginger work together to support the body's natural response to inflammation, immune response, joint health, mobility and recovery. 


Product at a Glance

  • Supports the body's natural response to inflammation, immune response, joint health, mobility, and recovery after physical exertion
  • 24 times more bioavailable than standard turmeric extract - your body absorbs the same amount of curcuminoids from just 300 mg of Golden Turmeric as it does from 1,926 mg of standard turmeric
  • Contains prebiotics to support healthy digestion as well as the gut-brain axis
  • Turmeric contains naturally occurring actives, such as curcuminoids, that help support joint mobility
  • Comes in a delicious Mango Rose flavor with Lime Vitality essential oil to contribute a light citrus taste
  • Is soy and milk free, formulated with gluten free ingredients, vegan friendly, and has no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, or sweeteners
Background

Young Living's Golden Turmeric powder is an excellent source of curcuminoids, which help support the wellness properties in our bodies. Chronic, low-level inflammation plays a major role in almost every chronic, Western disease. Therefore, anything that can help fight chronic inflammation is of potential importance in preventing and even treating these diseases.

Key Constituents

Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essentialoils) that give them specific health-supporting properties.

Inflammation & Emotions
Everyone knows that chronic pain is exhausting both physically and emotionally. The same can be said of chronic inflammation as well. Chronic inflammation from injury, diet or other illnesses are like tiny fires within our bodies, and our systems are running to put out the fires all the time. Our emotions follow suit - running and running and running until we are at empty.

Modern science is researching this connection as well! Studies show that chronic stress is associated with increased inflammation, depression and negative emotions, attention changes and even dampened immune responses. Which is just even more evidence that we need to take small, daily actions to give our bodies all the things it needs to thrive. Learn more here: The Interlay Between Stress, Inflammation, and Emotional Attention: Relevance for Depression

Daily Habits with Golden Turmeric

  • Mix 1/2 teaspoons in 6-8 ounces of water, juice, or milk of choice once dialy
  • Drink at nighttime as part of your wind-down routine
  • Combine with water, ice, 1 drop Cardamon Vitality essential oil, and 2 ounces of NingXia Red for a delicious wellness drink
  • Add to a tree smoothie (it's delicious with the Vanilla Spice Protein Powder)
  • Steep Spiced Turmeric Vitality Tea and add 1/2 tsp of Golden Turmeric for a cozy nighttime drink
  • Start your day with a Golden Milk Latte (full recipe here)

Join us this month as we enjoy Golden Turmeric powder to support our physical and emotional health and wellness.

Young Living Oil-Infused Supplements - Ditch and Switch April 2021


Ditch & Switch generic supplements for

OIL-INFUSED SUPPLEMENTS


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 generic drug store supplements for the essential oil-infused supplements from Young Living.

One of the biggest changes you can make for overall health and longevity is with your supplement routine. Supplements that are oil infused with essential oils are HUGE win.

Essential oils improve absorption, assimilation within the body and utilization of all the amazing vitamins, minerals and herbs that we are ingesting with supplements. So ditch the drugstore varieties for oil-infused one.


Why we Love YL Supplements

  • Pure, clean, sustainability sourced ingredients
  • No unnecessary fillers, colors, dyes, parabens or artificial flavors
  • Infused with essential oils to enhance absorption, improve assimilation within the body and allow for more effective results
  • Convenient to order with subscription options
  • Options for daily health and target needs
  • Formulations well are studied and effective

YL Supplements vs. Conventional Options

When it comes to supplements, most of what you'll find over the pharmacy county or at the health food stores is subpar.

There are some formulation that have decent ingredients, but the majority is lacking. Even the natural ones! So many companies use fillers that exacerbate allergies or cause inflammation, and that doesn't even account for artificial colors and flavors.

Young Living supplements are different. Not only are they sustainably sourced, they include only what is necessary for the formulation. They are also infused with essential oils, which improve absorption and assimilation. This means that our bodies take in more of the vitamins and minerals and are able to utilize it much easier. This is a huge win! We have products that work better, so we are truly investing in our health on a daily basis.

Young living has a substitute for just about any vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplement you're taking!

Not sure were to start? Grab these everyday favorites:

  • Master Formula - Read more on January 2021 blog
    This convenient packet is your multivitamin and is great for any adult. You can use this as a prenatal option as well!
  • Super C Chewable
    Vitamin C is an incredible health too - immune and respiratory support, antioxidants and anti-aging. Ditch the drugstore pills and sugary packets for these whole-food Super C Chewables.
  • Super Vitamin D - Supplement Spotlight December 2021
    Vitamin D is an essential supplement. Research has shown that Vitamin D is a key player in immune, respiratory, mental and emotional health, and that basically everyone is deficient. Adding it to your daily routine is a great habit.
  • Super B Tablets - Supplement Spotlight April 2021
    B vitamins are responsible for energy, growth, longevity, and mental clarity, among other important actions. They are also not stored in the body, making daily supplementation key. Super B includes all the health-supporting B vitamins that your body craves.
  • Life 9 - Supplement Spotlight March 2021
    Digestive health is critical to overall health. More and more research show us that a happy, diverse set of bacterial in the gut is a cornerstone of overall health and longevity, and Live 9 is a great choice for promoting this!

Join us this month as we make a big impact on our health by switching out our daily supplements to YL's essential oil-infused versions!

Cheat Sheet for Healthy Hormones

Hormone Health Cheat Sheet

Not sure where to start when it comes to supporting healthy hormones? Check out these suggestions and learn more with the individual product spotlight linked below.

The endocrine system is a network of glands throughout the body that makes hormones - insulin, thyroid hormone, cortisol, sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone) and more. The hormones made the endocrine system are responsible for almost every cell, organ, and function in the body.

Adrenal, thyroid and sex hormones work in a cycle together. Thyroid hormone affects sex hormones. Adrenal hormones affect thyroid hormones. Sex hormones affect adrenal hormones. So when one part of the cycle isout of balance, there are consequences for the entire endocrine system.

Thyroid & Adrenals
The adrenal glands are located just above the kidneys and are know for the 'flight or fight' response. This response is natural and necessary. It protects us when in high stress situation (like running from a lion), but the constant stress of daily life often keeps our adrenals on overdrive.

The thyroid gland perfumes a myriad of tasks in the body. It regulates metabolism, energy, body temperature, and hormone production which impacts just about every other body system in some way. Thyroid support is always important, but it is especially so for women aged 25-45 and before/during/after pregnancy.

Thyroid - try Thyromin, Ningxia Red, and EndoFlex

Sex Hormones
Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone play a huge role in our overall health - everything from reproduction to muscle tone to mood to energy levels. Chronic stress, improper nutrition, low Vitamin D levels, and unhealthy gut balance and yeast overgrowth can all negatively affect estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.

Menstrual Cycle
When estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are out of balance, it can cause some pretty uncomfortable symptoms during the monthly cycle. Other factors for painful periods include overall inflammation and even dietary sensitives. This topic is multifactorial, but here are a few options when it comes to balancing and supporting menstrual cycles.

For more on these products, check out these these blog posts linked below.
And make up this DIY Stress Recovery Serum to support your hormones and emotions this month and beyond.

DIY Stress Recovery Serum

DIY Stress Recovery Serum

It's no secret that emotional and psychological stress can wreak physical havoc on the body. We've all heard of the 'mind body connection' and probably have our own stories of how something has gone downhill physically during times of stress. Even current scientific has connected stress to physical ailments. And lately stress seems to be the theme of the world... for us, for our kids, for our circumstances...

So, what do we do about it? We find ways to effectively process stress and we support our bodies DAILY with supplements, high quality nutrition and essential oils. And this simple DIY is one that you will want to always keep on hand for daily adrenal support.

DIY Stress Recovery Serum (aka daily love for your adrenals)
The adrenal glands are located just above the kidneys and are known for the 'fight or flight' response.. which is great if we're running from a lion. But constant stress of daily life keeps them on overdrive! Give them some love and keep them going strong. Apply over the lower back every morning and before bed each evening.

  • 4 oz glass dropper bottle
  • Castor Oil (see note below)
  • 25 drops Nutmeg
  • 20 drops Clove
  • 20 drops Frankincense
  • 20 drops Rosemary
NOTE: You can use any carrier oil, but castor oil is specifically chosen as the fatty acids in castor oil allow the essential oils to be easily absorbed through he skin. High quality, cold-pressed castor oil can help your body to detoxify and improve circulation.

Let's take a quick look at the oils in the serum...

  • Nutmeg - THE essential oil for adrenal support, Nutmeg helps process and balance feelings of Exhaustion - which makes perfect sense. When our stress response system is on overdrive, how could we feel anything BUT exhausted? And when we are exhausted we are more prone to injury and illness.
  • Frankincense - is a versatile oil that supports immunity, helps the body process inflammation and works as an antioxidant in the body. Frankincense has long been used for its powerful health-supporting properties, and has been used 'to treat every conceivable ill known to man.'
  • Clove - THE Essential oil for powerful antioxidant support. Clove has an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value of 1,078,700 (read: Clove is able to absorb and mitigate a LOT of free radicals. It's ability to do so is basically OFF the charts.) Why antioxidants? Because they help boost immunity and allow the body to repair cellular damage caused by the environment, injury and - you guessed it - stress!
  • Rosemary - one of the components of the 'Four Thieves Vinegar' and the Thieves essential oil blend. Rosemary has wonderful cleansing properties, supports the liver and helps support healthy blood pressure levels, which all connect to the adrenals through the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-axis).
Use this adrenal serum daily over the lower back in the morning and before bedtime for stress recovery.

DetoxZyme Supplement Spotlight - March 2021

Supplement Spotlight

DetoxZyme


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. 


Just a Dose of DetoxZyme

  • Promotes detoxification and cleansing
  • Vegetarian-friendly formula
  • Fast acting enzymes help break down after eating to support digestion
  • Helps provide relief of occasional symptoms such as fullness, pressure, bloating, gas, pain and/or minor cramping
  • Works synergistically with a cleansing program
DetoxZyme is a blend of enzymes and essential oils formulated to promote detoxification and cleansing, which helps support normal digestive function. 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
  • Glucoamylase - enzyme that breaks down starches into glucose
  • Bromelain - proteolytic enzyme found in pineapple that supports carbohydrate digestion
  • Phytase - an enzyme necessary for breaking down the minerals such as zinc, magnesium and potassium found in grains, nuts, seeds, and other foods
  • Lipase - a fat-dissolving enzyme that promotes excretion of toxins
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.

EndoGize Supplement Spotlight - Feb 2022

EndoGize

Supplement Spotlight

Hormones play a huge role in our overall health and well being - both physical and mental. We want to use all the tools in our toolbox to support hormone balance, and EndoGize is an incredible supplement for those needing more hormone balance.


Just a Dose of EndoGize

EndoGize is a daily women's hormone support supplement powered by a blend of minerals, Ginger, Myrrh, Cassia, Clary Sage, and Canadian Fleabane essential oils, plus ashwagandha root (a well known herb for hormone balance). These ingredients work synergistically to create a balancing formula that supports a healthy endocrine system for women.

Why We Love EndoGize

  • Specially formulated to support a balanced endocrine system in women.
  • Includes ashwagandha, a well known adaptogen
  • Provides overall endocrine (hormone) system support
  • Enhanced with essential oils
Each of the ingredients in EndoGize works synergistically together to create a 1+1 = 3 scenario for hormone balancing that no other supplement can provide.

  • Ashwagandha root extract - an ancient herb that works as an adaptogen, helping your body manage stress; can boost brain function; lower blood sugar and cortisol levels; and help fight systems of anxiety and depression.
  • DHEA - a hormone precursor for estrogen and testosterone. DHEA is made in the body and levels decline as we age. Note: DHEA is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding or for those being treated for prostate or breast cancer unless directly by a physician.
  • Tribulus terrestris - an herb that supports muscle tone, libido and overall hormone balance.
  • Ginger essential oil - soothing to the digestive system and supportive of the body's response to inflammation.
  • Myrrh essential oil - a powerful essential oil for overall health, myrrh contains terpenoids and sesquiterpenes, constituents which show both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
  • Clary Sage essential oil - known as a phytoestrogen, Clary Sage helps to support healthy hormone balance and estrogen levels.
  • Cassia essential oil - supports the body's response to inflammation; one of the oldest known medicinal herbs (in the cinnamon family, though distinctly different chemical profile).
  • Canadian Fleabane essential oil - this oil contains powerful constituents - limonene, cis-matricaria ester, and trans-alpha-bergamotene - which have incredible health benefits.
  • Zinc - and essential trace element that also helps to strengthen the immune system.
  • Muira Puama bark - an herb commonly used to help with cramps, PMS and other monthly issues.
  • Vitamin B6 - an essential B vitamin that must be obtained in the diet, Vitamin B6 plays a critical role in the function of essential chemical reactions in the body.
To Use EndoGize Daily

  • Take 1 capsule 2 times daily. Use daily for 2 weeks.
  • Discontinue for 2 weeks before resuming.
Note: Contains soy, not recommend during pregnancy or when breastfeeding.

Massage Oils Ditch and Switch - Feb 2022

February's Ditch & Switch

Lubricants for Massage Oils


When it comes to physical intimacy, there are many things that can help or hinders in the process. One simple way we can enhance our experience with products that don't harm our health is with Young LIving's massage oils. For use as a personal lubricant, Relaxation Massage Oil or Sensation Massage Oil would be a great choice.

As the gatekeepers of our homes we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products and create healthy habits for ourselves and families. Join us this month as we make a simple swap with a bit impact. Ditch personal lubricants and use Young Living massage oils instead.

Sensation Massage Oil

Sensation is formulated to create a beautiful smell that is profoundly romantic, refreshing, and arousing. It amplifies the excitement of experiencing new heights of self-expression and awareness. This blend is also nourishing and hydrating for the skin. This unique blend of essential oils can encourage and amplify and atmosphere of love, excitement, and affection.

  • Geranium essential oils is commonly used in perfumes for its uplifting aroma, and it can help balance hormones as well.
  • Jasmine essential oil helps you develop a broader perspective with its romantic floral aroma - a very feminine aroma that embraces and exults the sacred masculine - and has been revered for centuries as a symbol of love and purity, harmonizing opposites to promote wholeness.
  • Ylang Ylang essential oil has a calming aroma that sets the mood for romance and helps enhance emotional connection.
Relaxation Massage Oil

Relaxation massage oil can help restore a state of calm and invites tranquility to them, body, and spirit. The pure vegetable oils blended with essential oils are moisturizing and nourishing to help soothe all skin types. This calming massage oil combines some of our favorite essential oils from across the globe.

  • Lavender helps promote feelings of calm and relaxation
  • Ylang Ylang has a calming aroma that sets the mood for romance and helps enhance emotional connection
  • Spearmint & Peppermint are energizing and uplifting to the body and mind
  • Bergamot & Tangerine promote feelings of calm and connection to others.
Why Make the Switch

Unfortunately, both conventional and organic lubricants contain ingredients that can cause harm long after their use. These ingredients are toxic to vaginal tissue and disrupt the sensitive vaginal microbiome (balance of microorganisms that naturally inhabit the vagina). Exposure to these ingredients can lead to discomfort, irritation, and increased risk of infection - even from short term exposure. Some lubricant ingredients also have the potential to cause chronic health issues including cancer and reproductive problems from repeated exposure.

In fact, there is growing consensus among scientists that the vast majority of lubricants need to be reformulated to be safer than they are now. Ingredients found in common lubricants that have know health consequence include:

  • Methylparaben, propylparaben, & ethylparaben - preservative chemicals that can irritate vaginal mucous membranes, contribute to genital rashes, and potentially cause fertility problems and endocrine (hormone) disruption.
  • Chlorhexidine gluconate - a disinfectant chemical that can kill strains of lactobacillus, which is a bacterial that is necessary for a healthy microbiome.
  • Cyclomethicone, cyclopentasiloxane, & cyclotetrasiloxane - commonly found in silicone-based lubricants, these substances are linked to reproductive harm and uterine cancer in animal studies. Almost no research has ever been conducted to examine the long term impacts of vaginal exposure to these chemicals in women.
  • Natural and artificial flavor & fragrance - flavors, fragrances, and aromas can include a mix of chemicals which can cause irritation and allergies.
  • And so much more...
Product Options

  • Sensation Massage Oil - a blend of Coriander, Ylang Ylang, Bergamot, Jasmine, and Geranium that is romantic, refreshing and arousing, amplifying the excitement of new heights of self-expression and awareness.
  • Relaxation Massage Oil - combines Tangerine, Lavender, Spearmint, Ylang Ylang, Peppermint, Coriander, and Bergamot essential oils for the relaxing, restorative properties.
  • Dragon Time Massage Oil - a soothing combination of Fennel, Clary Sage, Marjoram, Lavender, Yarrow, and Jasmine that is perfect for supporting women.
  • Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil - tones and nourishes the skin with a blend of Grapefruit, Cypress, Juniper, Cedarwood, and Clary Sage essential oils.
  • OrthoEase Massage Oil - a blend of Wintergreen, Peppermint, Juniper, Eucalyptus Globulus, Lemongrass, Marjoram, Thyme, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Vetiver essential oils that warm and soothe fatigued muscles for relief.
  • OrthoSport Massage Oil - combines Oregano, Peppermint, Thyme, and Wintergreen to give a cooling sensation when used with a soothing massage, specifically following strenuous physical activity.
  • V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex - great to use as a base and add your special blend of essential oils. Suggested oils for an intimate massage oil - Yarrow, Ylang Ylang, and Shutran.
To Use Massage Oils:

Use your massage oil of choice in place of a personal lubricant for intimacy. There is always the option to further dilute the massage oil with V-6 carrier oil to test the area(s) or when making the switch. Note that OrthoEase and OrthoSport contain hot oils that have a warming or tingling sensation when applied to the skin.

Join us this month as we ditch personal lubricants for Young Living massage oils.

Clary Sage Oil Spotlight - Feb 2022

Clary Sage Essential Oil

Oil Spotlight for February

Clary Sage is a distinctly feminine oil that we love for everything from supporting healthy skin to wearing as a personal fragrance to supporting healthy hormone levels. This oil is a great choice for women for many reasons.


Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in February.

Just a Drop of Clary Sage...

  • Has a calming, soothing, lightly floral aroma
  • Promotes the appearance of healthy-looking skin and hair
  • Helps soothe minor skin irritations
  • Geared toward women for its hormone support properties
  • Supports healthy estrogen levels through naturally occurring phytoestrogens
  • Makes a lovely perfume
Clary Sage essential oil is a main component of Dragon Time oil blend, a blend formulated for supporting normal, healthy emotions during the female monthly cycle. Clary Sage contains the naturally occurring constituent linalyl acetate, which contributes to its calming and soothing herbal aroma. Applied topically, Clary Sage essential oil promotes the appearance of healthy-looking skin, making this an oil every woman wants to have in her arsenal.

Background

Native to the Mediterranean region, Clary Sage is a perennial shrub in the Salvia family. Traditionally used as a medicinal herb, it typically grows 3-4 feet tall and produces showy purple blooms that attract pollinators. Young Living's Clary Sage essential oil is steam distilled from the flowering parts of the plant at the Mona, UT and Simiane-la-Rotonde, France farms.

Key Constituents

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

  • Linalyl acetate - a potent antioxidant that promotes circulatory health and allows the body to support healing from ischemic injury (injury as a result of poor blood flow).
  • Linalool - supports stress relief and uplifts the mood, helps support the body during times of illness and stress.
Clary Sage & Emotions

Clary Sage can be a powerful tool for female emotions! Since we know of its estrogen-support properties this makes a lot of sense. When our hormones are unbalanced, it takes a toll on our health - both physical and emotional. Clary Sage is grounding and comforting and evokes feelings of feminine energy. It pairs well with citrus oils like Bergamot and Tangerine as well as Patchouli and Lavender.

Clary Sage is also a component in the supplement CortiStop because of its ability to balance hormones and stop the stress response. Stress wreaks havoc on our health, so any way we can find to support stress reduction is key! Pair daily use and inhalation of Clary Sage with meditation, journaling, affirmations and prayer.

Clary Sage & Pregnancy

Because Clary Sage contains phytoestrogens, it can increase fertility in some women. It can also be used to support labor! Because of this, some women choose to avoid excess use of Clary Sage during pregnancy until labor is desired.

Clary Sage is found in:

Daily Habits with Clary Sage:

Note: As with citrus oils, avoid direct sunlight or UV rays for up to 12 hours after applying Clary Sage.

Inhale or diffuse Clary Sage in the evening to help create a tranquil environment, especially at bedtime.

Add a few drops to your facial essence, serum, or moisturizer and apply at bedtime for healthy looking skin.

Make this Glow Up Serum. To a 4 oz bottle, add:
  • 25 drops each Clary Sage & Frankincense
  • 20 drops Blue Tansy (optional)
  • 5 droppers full of CBD Beauty Boost (optional)
  • Fill with a carrier oil of choice
Mix Clary Sage with aloe vera gel and apply it following sun or wind exposure.

Make a simple DIY After Sun Spritz (you can use this after time out in the cold and wind as well). To a 2 oz glass spray bottle, add:
  • 20 drops of Clary Sage
  • 10 drops each Lavender, Copaiba, and Frankincense

Love & Connection Diffuser Recipes - Feb 2022

Diffuser Blends
For Love and Connection


Love and connection are a vital part of our health. We live in communities, gather in small groups in churches and chapels, enjoy book clubs and other intimate gatherings with friends and family. We need these relationships for our mental, emotional and even physical health! Our mind and body are so interconnected, that cultivated sincere relationships not only bolsters us emotionally, it keeps us healthier in the long run.

This collection of diffuser blends include some of our favorite oils for love and connection - to self and to others! Ylang Ylang, Orange, Lavender, Idaho Blue Spruce and Vanilla to name a few.

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. Join us this month as we diffuse these favorite blends for love and connection.

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!

Check it - many of these recipes contain the Gifts with Purchase oils in February. Get the everyday products you need and get free oils to use in the diffuser too!

Happy diffusing!!

When you want to unwind at the end of the day, add this blend to your diffuser. Lemon and Orange are bright and happy, while Lavender is calming and relaxing. 

This is a great blend to diffuse as you journal, meditate or simply sit and talk with a loved one at the end of the day.
Patchouli, Orange and Lavender - oh my! This blend is for all the Patchouli lovers out there... and for the non-lovers too!

Adding the sweet scent of Orange and the herbaceous scent of Lavender help round out the earthy scent of Patchouli in the Peace & Calming blend. Peace & Calming is one of our favorites for creating a serene environment!

Add this blend to your diffuser during gathering with family and friends or during family time in the evenings for a blend that is sweet and grounding.

Flowers are an international symbol of love and devotion, and for good reason! They remind us of the beauty in relationships, the opportunity for growth, and they add such life to a space - much like our connections with those around us!

Diffuse this sweet, slightly floral blend any time of day and especially when you're needing some connection and self love.
Did you know that the Joy essential oil blend was originally called 'Love'? This blend is wonderful for fostering connection - both to others and to our inner self!

Add in the happy, calming scent of Tangerine and the grounding aroma of Frankincense, and you have a diffuser blend that is wonderful for starting your day off on the right foot.

Diffuse this blend during prayer and meditation or during time with those you love.

This uplifting, unassuming blend has quickly become one of our favorites - both in the diffuser and as a perfume blend!

Bergamot and Grapefruit are bright and happy, Clary Sage is light and floral, and Vanilla is warming and inviting.

These scents pair well together to create a blend that is slightly romantic and incredibly welcoming.


Ylang Ylang is the oil of romance! Ylang Ylang petals were traditionally placed upon the beds of newlyweds as a symbol of love and connection.

This floral oil pairs well with the bright, happy notes of Orange. Adding Idaho Blue Spruce rounds out the romantic atmosphere while fostering open connection with your loved one.

Add this blend to your diffuser during date night or anytime you want to foster romantic connection.
