Autumn Harvest Diffuser Blends - Oct 2024

Autumn Harvest Diffuser Blends

These Autumn Harvest diffuser blends will bring the cozy essence of fall into your home, making it smell amazing and also bringing lots of health benefits. 

Infused with warm, spicy scents like cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg, these blends create a comforting atmosphere that promotes relaxation and stress relief. Plus, these oils support the immune system,  boost your mood, and cleanse the air of lingering odors.

Fill your diffuser with one of these seasonal blends to turn your space into a haven of warmth and tranquility, perfect for enjoying crisp autumn days and cozy evenings indoors!

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.

Happy diffusing!!

Falling Leaves Diffuser Blends - Sept 2024

Falling Leaves Diffuser Blends

There's a certain magic that comes along with the shorter days and crisp air of autumn. The vibrant colors of fall leaves, the cozy warmth of sweaters, and the comforting aroma of rich spices create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

And we think the best way to capture the essence of autumn is through these diffuser blends! These combinations can evoke the smells of the forest, the sweetness of baked goods, and the comforting scents of a crackling fire and help you embrace the spirit of the season.

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.

Calm & Focused Diffuser Blends - August 2024

Calm & Focused Diffuser Blends & Recipes

In our fast-paced and often chaotic world, finding moments of calm and maintaining focus can be challenging. Luckily we have some pretty amazing tools at our disposal in these tiny bottles of essential oils!

Whether you need to reduce stress, improve concentration, or simply create a serene atmosphere, this collection of curated blends will help you achieve a state of calm and focus, making your daily tasks more manageable and your mind more centered.

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!

Happy diffusing!!

DeepSpectra Frankincense2 Spotlight - Convention 2024

Deep Spectra Frankincense Spotlight


Take your everyday wellness to the next level with DeepSpectra Frankincense2! This Young Living exclusive technology is a unique and brilliant fusion of Frankincense essential oil and frankincense resin compounds. When blended together, these two create a powerhouse wellness tool that supports overall longevity and a healthy immune system!

Just a Drop of Frankincense2

  • Combines frankincense essential oil and frankincense resin
  • One of a kind product and technology exclusive to Young Living
  • Supports general wellness, digestive health, and a healthy immune system
  • Has antioxidant properties that help support immunity and vitality
  • Supports a healthy inflammatory response
  • Features a softly spicy, exotic flavor
DeepSpectra Frankincense2 is more than just another essential oil - it's a revolution in wellness. Meticulously created using a patents-pending DeepSpectra technology, Frankincense2 results from using Frankincense essential oil in an innovative way to extract key therapeutic compounds from frankincense resin. These compounds include boswellic acids, which are renowned for their health benefits like protecting cells and helping lower and even prevent inflammation.

Background

As the industry leader in essential oils and essential oil science, it's no surprise that Young Living has done it again! Meet DeepSpectra Technology – a cutting edge technology that uses distinct characteristics of essential oils to attract additional compounds from the plant. The final product contains an enriched array of organic plant compounds that give us even more incredible benefits from these oils!  

DeepSpectra Technology

This patents-pending process is the culmination of decades of research and development. Young Living only uses carefully selected (and often upcycled) plant material that's rich in beneficial compounds. A carefully selected Young Living essential oil is combined with this plant material and used as the extraction fluid.

The extraction is then enhanced by applying an optimal energy source to the mixture. The result is a unique combination of essential oil and extract of even more beneficial compounds of the plant. DeepSpectra technology creates a new era of essential oil extracts.

DeepSpectra Frankincense2 v. Frankincense Essential Oil

DeepSpectra Frankincense2 contains all the benefits of Frankincense essential oil, plus additional beneficial compounds from frankincense resin that are not present in steam or hydro-distilled essential oil. DeepSpectra Frankincense2 extract also has a thicker and stickier consistency than Frankincense essential oil alone.

DeepSpectra Frankincense2 has the characteristic smell of Frankincense oil but with a deeper, richer aroma reminiscent of frankincense resin. And while Frankincense is intended for topical use, diffusing, and ingesting, DeepSpectra Frankincense2 is intended for ingestion only.

Key Constituents

  • Alpha-pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown alpha-pinene to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind
  • Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
  • Sabinene - a constituent known to enhance the effects of other compounds; helps fight oxidative damage and reduce inflammation
Ingredients

  • Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) resin oil - well documented for its ability to reduce inflammation, promote healing, protect against cellular damage, improve immune system response, and help mitigate pain.
  • Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) resin extract - well documented for its ability to reduce inflammation, promote healing, protect against cellular damage, improve immune system response, and help mitigate pain.
Daily Habits with DeepSpectra Frankincense2

Frankincense2's antioxidant properties make it an easy and efficient addition to your daily routine as a dietary supplement, promoting general wellness and supporting a healthy immune system. For optimal use, simply take it in a veggie capsule or blend it into your morning NingXia Red drink.

Take it as a dietary supplement by adding 1–2 drops to a vegetarian capsule. Take up to 3 times daily.

Pair with NingXia Red or NingXia Zyng or a glass of water with honey.

Try this Daily Vitality Tonic
  • 2-4 oz NingXia Red
  • 2 drops DeepSpectra Frankincense2 
  • ½ tsp Golden Turmeric powder
  • 5 droppersful Mineral Essence
  • Water as desired
Because DeepSpectra Frankincense2 extract contains additional compounds that are not found in Frankincense essential oil and are not carried easily via vapor or steam, it is not recommended for diffusion. For full effect, ingestion is recommended.

Learn about everything from convention and create amazing new health habits with the new products released this month!

Lavender Legacy Collection Spotlight - Convention 2024

Lavender Legacy Collection Spotlight


This collection of the world's best lavender that helps you stroll down Lavender Memory Lane. Highlight the milestones of Young Living history – cultivating true lavender, pioneering distilling techniques, working with natural pollinators, and more. This exclusive collection embodies 30 years of dedication, innovation, and pioneering. With six 5 mL bottles showcasing a different label and a different point in YL history, these oils serve as cherished mementos of the transformative strides this company has made for people and the planet.

Just a Drop of Lavender

  • A rare collector's item to display your pride as part of the YL community
  • Sweet, calming, floral scent helps create a restful environment
  • Can be used to cleanse, hydrate, or soothe the skin after a day in the sun
  • Calms and relaxes the mind and body
  • Soothes seasonal respiratory needs
  • Creates a tranquil environment when diffused or applied topically
  • May help ease occasional nervous tension and improve sleep quality for occasional sleeplessness
For the Love of Lavender

Lavender is reminiscent of a wonderful grandmother. Soft and huggable, gentle, smells like flowers, calming, and is the one you want around if you are sad, tired, or need comforting. She has experience and wisdom and seems to be able to fix every problem. She is soft-spoken and makes you feel more rested the moment she's around. And she seems to have that perfect knack with any baby.

Unfortunately, over the years, many "lavender" scented items became filled with synthetics and fillers which actually irritated our airways and lost all of their benefits. People even started giving lavender a bad reputation as being unsafe because of all the synthetic, chemical-laden products that had been used bearing its name. There is more lavender oil sold than grown in the world which doesn't really add up right.

But, Young Living. Young Living began growing and distilling its own lavender to ensure a high quality essential oil, making sure that we have the real thing in our homes. Many Young Living customers have planted and harvested YL Lavender themselves in Idaho and Utah! I mean, who wants a fake grandmother? Little Red Riding Hood can tell you that is NOT a good plan.

Today we use our Young Living Lavender in many similar ways. In our lotions, bath products, sleep roll-ons, diffusers, and on our precious babies. It is a gentle oil with a calming effect on everything from our respiratory systems, to our skin, to our emotions. So when you have a problem and you want something to be comforted, whether it's your irritated nose, your foot, or your baby, remember The Grandmother of all oils and give her a try.

Daily Habits with Lavender

Lavender is such a lovely, versatile oil that there are many ways we can use it on a daily basis - from skincare to relaxation to health to kids!

Add Lavender to your relaxation routine…

  • Unwind in the evening with a calming, Lavender-infused neck or back massage. Feeling tense? Add a little Peppermint and Frankincense!
  • Use Lavender as part of a bedtime routine by rubbing it on the bottoms of your feet and diffusing it next to your bed.
  • Help little ones calm down for bedtime with gentle Lavender massage. Mix 1 tbsp carrier oil with 5 drops Lavender and gently massage legs, arms and back.
  • Add 10 drops of Lavender to 1 cup of magnesium flakes or epsom salt to a bath to create a relaxing environment. We also love adding Peace & Calming or Frankincense to the mix!
Add Lavender to your wellness routine…

Reach for Lavender to release tension. Head On Roller: 
  • 20 drops Peppermint, Copaiba, & Lavender, 10 drops Frankincense. 
  • Fill with V-6 carrier or carrier oil of choice and roll over temples, across the forehead, on the back of the neck and shoulders. 
Use Lavender to support the airways when air quality is less than ideal:
  • Seasons Change Roller Blend - 15 drops each Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Tea Tree, & Copaiba, then fill with carrier. Roll over the chest, wrists, just below the nostrils. This also makes a great combination for an epsom salt bath or a diffuser blend!
  • Add 5 drops each Lavender & Copaiba to 1 cup fine grain sea salt or organic salt and mineral solution and mix well. To use, dilute 1 tsp of mixture with 8-12 oz distilled water to make a DIY nasal rinse solution for use in a netipot. 
  • Use a drop of Lavender Vitality under the tongue or swiped on the inside of the cheek. 
Use Lavender to support skin needs…

Make an “Owie” spray or cream (great for kiddos!):
  • 2 tbsp solid coconut oil (for a cream) or fractionated coconut oil (for a spray)
  • 15 drops each Lavender, Frankincense, & Copaiba
  • Optional: 10 drops Tea Tree for purifying needs
  • Small glass jar or 2 oz glass spray bottle 
  • Apply to needed area frequently to support natural healing

  • Apply Lavender diluted with coconut oil to skin after touching something hot.
  • Add Lavender to your moisturizer for oily skin needs or apply it with a cotton ball to blemishes or the t-zone as needed.
  • Make a dry scalp mask with ¼ cup organic avocado oil, 10 drops each Lavender & Tea Tree essential oil. Apply to dry spots of scalp and let sit for 15 minutes before rinsing and washing as usual. Use once a week. 
Rub lavender and coconut oil on the skin after time in the sun or make an after-sun spray or balm!
  • ¼ cup solid coconut oil (or liquid carrier for a spray)
  • 10 drops Peppermint essential oil
  • 20 drops Lavender essential oil
  • Optional: 15 drops Tea Tree essential oil for extra red/hot skin
  • Small glass jar or 2 oz glass spray bottle 
Diffuser Blends with Lavender

Lavender's floral aroma is distinctive and unique, yet it mixes well with other fragrances too. Blend Lavender with other florals, and its clean, simple scent will shine. Mix it with spectacular spices or whimsical woods to soften sharp smells. Add a touch of romance to citrus perfumes or a hint of sweetness to herby aromas.

  • Sweet Dreams - 4 drops Northern Lights Black Spruce, 3 drops Tangerine, 3 drops Lavender
  • Sunkissed - 3 drops each Tangerine, Grapefruit, Lime, & Lavender
  • Coastal Oasis - 3 drops each Lavender, Eucalyptus Radiata, & Lime

Give Yourself a Brain Boost

Did you know that essential oils can literally enhance your environment? Current research in development psychology and education shows us the magic of an "enhanced environment." For children this looks like toys, sports, music, and learning opportunities in addition to their physical environment. These things result in improved cognitive and language development, social and emotional skills, creativity, imagination, and problem-solving skills.

BUT what about us adults?? Adults can also improve these things with an enhanced environment. Dr. Cynthia Woo recently did a study at UC Irvine that diffusing essential oils before bed showed improvement in cognitive test scores, positive changes in brain anatomy, improved cognitive resilience and youthfulness.

The short version? Diffusing oils before bed can improve your brain function!!! (See why you need to diffuse)

AromaConnect App

Making a shift to low-tox living is literally as simple as switch, schedule, and smell! You don't have to worry about fire hazards from candles, synthetic scents and fragrances, hazardous air pollutants, or burning through oils too quickly. All you need is a diffuser, your oils, and the AromaConnect app (if desired!). (See why you need to say no to artificial fragrances.)

The AromaConnect app allows you to diffuse when and where you want with a simple swipe! Set up routines for devices, rooms, and homes from anywhere – custom light modes, run times, and even sounds. Program device specific settings for a.m. and p.m. so you can choose exactly what, when, and where you diffuse.

Simply download the AromaConnect app to use! Visit either the App Store (Apple devices) or Google Play (Android devices), depending on your device and operating system. Tap the magnifying glass Search icon and type in “AromaConnect.” In the search results, find the app supported by Young Living. In the App Store, click the Get button. In Google Play, click the Install button.

BUT, if you don't want to use the app, you don't have to! The Wake-Up-Light Diffuser will work manually as well!

Directions for Use

  • Transform your bedside table into a sanctuary for mindful moments with the AromaConnect Wake-Up Light Diffuser.
  • Start your day feeling refreshed as you wake up to a gradual sunrise accompanied by a bright essential oil blend and the soothing sounds of nature found on our Young Living farms.
  • Ease effortlessly into a peaceful night's rest as you bask in a gradual sunset, enveloped by a tranquil p.m. essential oil blend and gentle, soothing sleep sounds.
When it comes to choosing oils for your diffuser, it is not recommended to diffuse the DeepSpectra oils, as they are intended for topical application and ingestion to receive the full benefits of these patents-pending extracts. Diffusing oils containing coconut or other carrier oils with the Wake-Up-Light Diffuser risks clogging your diffuser. Thicker, more viscous oils like Myrrh, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, and some past formulas of Simplified by Jacob + Kait essential oils may also lead to clogging and be harder to smell because they diffuse more slowly. For best results, use low-viscosity oils such as Lavender and Orange essential oils or Young Living Stress Away blend.

Copaiba Spotlight - July 2024

Copaiba Spotlight


Copaiba is one oil you always want to have on hand. Think of this oil like the Fireman of the toolkit - gentle yet strong, ready to get to work soothing things that need to be soothed. From skin care to muscles to gut health, this little bottle can do so much!

Just a Drop of Copaiba

  • Has a calming, earthy aroma that creates a relaxing environment when diffused
  • Promotes the appearance of a youthful, radiant glow when applied topically
  • Can be massaged into fatigued areas after activity
  • Supports overall wellness when taken internally*
  • Has a robust, earthy flavor with notes of honey
  • Copaiba Vitality has a buttery, delicate flavor
  • Pairs well with Peppermint, Spearmint, Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Nutmeg, Orange, and Lemon Vitality oils
Copaiba - The Fireman (words by Courtney Critz)

He is ever on the alert, skilled, protective, strong. He goes quickly through the pathways of your cells seeking out the raging flames and pouring on the calming water of his many anti-inflammatory benefits.

Wherever there is "fire" or inflammation in your body, it is a signal of something going on. An arsonist at work (disease, stress) or a drought in your system that needs to be addressed (lack of nutrients). This can also be the result of foods that you are eating such as refined sugar, modern grains, processed dairy, or other foods that don't work well with your body. Over time this compounds until you have fire raging everywhere and you are experiencing pain, digestive issues, skin eruptions, and brain dysfunctions. Eventually this leads to even more serious problems.

People often think that because they don't have digestive problems, they don't have gut inflammation issues. Not at all true. Gut inflammation shows itself as brain fog, pain in joints, emotional instability, and skin eruptions. It's ALL connected.

Eventually, if root issues aren't addressed, your body is spending all of its energy trying to function despite all the fire raging throughout your system. 

Everything is burning and you are so busy dealing with the side effects of the fires, you can't ever get to the actual healing to keep the fires from happening. 

You're taking medications to treat the pain, the meds increase the inflammation as your gut is damaged, thereby increasing the pain, leading to more medication for the pain…see the cycle?

We have to find a different way. 

We have to find alternatives that can help us put out the fires, keep them out, and not do further damage to our systems. Truly quenching them is going to result in lasting relief and recovery. This will mean finding ways to reduce stress, to eat foods that nourish instead of harming us, and repairing the damage that has already been done to our poor guts.

And we need a hero. We need a Fireman.

BACKGROUND

Copaiba essential oil is steam distilled from the gum resin of the Brazilian Copaifera reticulata tree. Native to the Amazon River Basin, these trees can reach 25−40 feet and can live for up to 400 years. Copaiba resin has been used for various purposes throughout the Amazon region since at least the 16th century. It contains a high percentage of the naturally occurring constituent beta-caryophyllene, making it a great choice to add to skin care products or to use for massage. Copaiba Vitality essential oil provides general wellness support when taken internally. Copaiba and Copaiba Vitality are the same essential oil, simply labeled differently.

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

  • Beta-caryophyllene
  • Alpha-humulene

Animal Wellness Box - July 2024

Animal Wellness Box

image
Did you know that Young Living has a line of products created specifically for your animal friends?! That means you have effective, safe options, and no more conventional options for those special furry members of your family who need specific care! And it gets even easier with our favorite easy button - the monthly wellness box.

When it comes to the monthly wellness box, you simply choose an area of health to work on or a lifestyle need that fits your home and family, add the products to your subscription to earn Loyalty Rewards, and enjoy all the benefits of the amazing products you've chosen showing up on your doorstep each month!

This Wellness Box is full of curated favorites for the animals in our lives! Whether you need acute support for a specific need, daily maintenance for overall health, or want to prevent the bumps in the road, there are so many ways oils can help! 

WHAT'S IN THE BOX:

Animal Scents Shampoo

Animal Scents Shampoo is formulated with seven premium essential oils and other natural ingredients to gently and effectively clean, condition, and protect your pet's coat. Formulated for all types of breeds and coats, Young Living's Animal Scents Shampoo promotes a healthy-looking coat and healthy skin for your furry friends. Plus, the plant-based formula is infused with essential oils to create a soothing aroma that helps calm your pet during bath time.

Animal Scents Ointment

Animal Scents Ointment is a protective, soothing salve designed specifically for pets. Infused with cleansing Tea Tree and soothing Myrrh essential oils, this naturally derived, plant-based formula is gentle and safe for everyday use and can be applied anywhere on your pet's body to moisturize and soothe skin and promote healing. The gentle, non-greasy, formula absorbs smoothly and replenishes the skin's natural barrier. (It is also a favorite for soothing human skin needs as well!)

If you need a little more oomph for your pet's situation, you can also layer oils beneath the Animal Scents Ointment. If using oils, simply apply oils prior to application of Animal Scents Ointment. This product is also a crowd favorite for human use because it contains so many wonderful oils that promote natural skin health and healing!
Animal Scents ParaGize Essential Oil Blend

Animal Scents ParaGize was developed to support pets with the settling, grounding properties of Ginger, Anise, and Peppermint essential oils. These oils are our go-tos for any digestive needs in humans, and the same can be said for our pets! This relaxing, quieting blend can be applied to your pet's abdomen or diffused to support your pet with its comforting aroma.
Animal Scents T-Away Essential Oil Blend

So many of our pets experience emotional trauma that can often leave them with debilitating needs. Animal Scents T-Away is our go-to for everything from storm anxiety to more complex emotional issues with our pets. 

T-Away contains a combination of Young Living's Trauma Life, Harmony, and Peace & Calming essential oil blends. These blends work together to promote feelings of balance and grounding in your pet, while their aromas mix to help elevate disposition. This blend can be used topically or aromatically to bring about a calm and peaceful environment for your pets' overall well-being.
Apply according to animal size, but in general apply 1 drop behind each ear to calm your pet.

Animal Scents PuriClean Essential Oil Blend

Animal Scents PuriClean is the first step in Young Living's three-part system to support pet recovery from minor scrapes and scratches. This prediluted, essential oil blend refreshes and prepares your pet's skin for mending by cleansing and moisturizing. PuriClean combines the skin-improvement properties of Patchouli, Mountain Savory, and other essential oils so that you can help your pet feel its best.
Animal Scents Infect-Away Essential Oil Blend

Animal Scents Infect Away is step two of Young Living's three-part system to support pet recovery from minor scrapes and scratches. This prediluted, premium essential oil blend helps guard against harmful contaminants while supporting your pet's irritated coat or skin.

Carefully apply according to the size and species of animal. Additional dilution is recommended for smaller species. You can also put 8−10 drops in a 1-ounce spray bottle with distilled water for a quick skin-cleansing spritz. Best when used as part of a three-part system: PuriClean, followed by Infect Away, then Mendwell oil  blends.

Animal Scents Mendwell Essential Oil Blend

Animal Scents Mendwell is step three of Young Living's three-part system to support pet recovery from minor scrapes and scratches. This prediluted, essential oil blend supports your pet's natural healing process by soothing and moisturizing dry, sensitive, and distressed skin. The aroma creates an uplifting environment and promotes feelings of health and wellness for your pet.

Mendwell soothes and moisturizes dry, sensitive, and distressed skin with Myrrh, Hyssop, Frankincense, and other essential oils and is free from synthetic perfumes, dyes, artificial colors, or fragrances – all the good stuff and none of the bad!

Copaiba Vitality

This gentle oil is wonderful when it comes to animals (and honestly humans too!). Copaiba has little scent or flavor, so it is easy to apply and administer, and it augments the body's response to inflammation. So much so that it can be given alongside non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) until symptoms improve, and the animal can be weaned to just copaiba! It is a must have in your animal toolkit.

The Copaiba Spotlight blog post has more information on this anti-inflammatory oil.

Oils & Exotic Animals - July 2024

Essential Oils & Exotic Animals

image
Essential oils can be a huge benefit to our animals – including ferrets, frogs, snakes, lizards and more! In fact, in a healthy environment, animals come into contact with essential oils naturally as they graze, consume herbs, and scratch against trees. We can harness all that plant power to give them amazing tools for their health. Whether you need acute support for a specific need, daily maintenance for overall health, or want to prevent the bumps in the road, there are so many ways oils can help!

Oils & Exotic Animals at a Glance

  • Start by placing a drop of oil on your hands and allowing your pet to sniff.
  • Remember animals have heightened smell, so a little goes a long way. 
  • Dilute for small animals as much as you would for cats (Oils & Cats Spotlight), if not more.
  • Exotic animals tend to like citrus oils, so introducing one of them first will likely allow the animal to prefer other oils.
  • When adding oil to your pet's water, make sure to have a fresh water option available as well.

  • For furry animals like ferrets, you can use similar applications as for small cats (Oils & Cats Spotlight).
  • For other exotic animals, a water-based diffusion or spray method is more ideal. Water animals like lizards, frogs, or turtles absorb oils in the same way as fish – from plant matter within their water. One simple way to do this is to add a drop of citrus oil (Orange, Lemon, Citrus Fresh) to their drinking water (in a large container).

  • For exotics in general (furry or not), 1 drop of oil for every quart of water OR for smaller animals or more dilution, you can dip a toothpick into the oil and swirl it in a quart of water.
  • For amphibians, 1 toothpick of an oil (Purification is a good one), for every liter of water and allow them to soak.
  • Misting is a great option for the hairless exotics! For small animals like amphibians, 1 toothpick or 1 drop of oil per 1 liter of water. For larger reptiles, up to 4 drops of oil for every 4 ounces of water.
When it comes to reptiles, remember that like most other animals, they are much more sensitive to scents and tastes than humans. Even handling a reptile (or other fur-less exotic animal) with oil residue on your hands may be overwhelming to some. One simple way to test your animal's response to an oil is to place 1 drop somewhere in the animal's environment and note their reaction. 
Reptiles and other hairless animals also have more sensitive skin, so remember to introduce oils slowly and keep them diluted until the animal is comfortable with the oil(s).

Skin Soothing Soak

  • Infuse 1 pint of magnesium flakes or epsom salt with 15 drops Lavender
  • Add 1 Tablespoon of mixture to a quart of warm water and soak for stuck sheds, minor injuries, scrapes, etc.
Animal Scents Line

Using oils on and around your animals is absolutely ok when done correctly. In fact, Young Living has an entire animal care line that is perfect for our four legged, furry pals!

  • Animal Scents ParaGize Oil Blend
    A settling, cleansing blend of Ginger, Anise, and Peppermint essential oils great for any digestive needs. This relaxing, soothing blend can be applied to your pet's abdomen or diffused to support your pet with its comforting properties.
  • Animal Scents T-Away Oil Blend
    So many of our pets experience emotional trauma that can often leave them with debilitating needs. Animal Scents T-Away is our go-to for everything from storm anxiety to more complex emotional issues with our pets. Apply according to animal size, but in general apply 1 drop behind each ear to calm your pet.
The Three-Step System for Skincare

  1. Animal Scents PuriClean Oil Blend
    This is the first step in Young Living's three-part system to support pet recovery from minor scrapes and scratches. This prediluted blend refreshes and cleanses your pet's skin and prepares it for healing by moisturizing as well. PuriClean combines the skin-improvement properties of Patchouli, Mountain Savory, and other essential oils so that you can help your pet feel its best.
  2. Animal Scents Infect-Away Oil Blend
    This is step two of Young Living's three-part system to support your pet's skin healing. This prediluted blend includes Ocotea, Patchouli, Myrrh and other cleansing oils that help guard against harmful contaminants while supporting your pet's irritated coat or skin. Carefully apply according to the size and species of the animal. Additional dilution is recommended for smaller species. You can also put 8−10 drops in a 1-ounce spray bottle with distilled water for a quick skin-cleansing spritz. Best when used as part of a three-part system: PuriClean, followed by Infect Away, then Mendwell oil blend.
  3. Animal Scents MendWell Oil Blend
    This is step three of helping your pet heal and recover from minor scrapes and scratches. This prediluted blend supports your pet's natural healing process by soothing and moisturizing dry, sensitive, and distressed skin. Plus the aroma of Lavender, Frankincense, Geranium, and more creates an uplifting environment and promotes feelings of health and wellness for your pet.
Common Favorites for Pets

  • Fleas, ticks, and pests - Citronella, Tea tree, Citronella, Animal Scents Ointment
  • Aches, pains, and inflammation - SulfurZyme, NingXia Red, Helichrysum, Copaiba
  • Emotions and trauma - Frankincense, Peace & Calming, Stress Away, Lavender
Quick Tips for Applying Oils

  • Apply one drop of your chosen oil to your hands and rub them together.  Hold your pet or allow them to sit close to you and get used to them. Do not try to force them to smell your hands or hold them. Let the animal approach you, and if they show interest in the area that has the oils let them sniff/approach at their own pace. 
  • Try the ‘Petting Method'. Simply apply an oil to your hands and gently “pet” your animal. The animal's hair will actually carry oils down the hair follicle into the skin. Only apply oils to a small part of the animal's coat or body initially. The oils will get where they need to go!
  • Always start with 1 drop of essential oil, and apply more often versus using more drops.
  • In general, avoid the eye area, unless this area is one of need. According to Dr. Melissa Shelton, DVM, in this case you can use a very diluted ‘eye spritzer' (ex: up to 4 drops of Lavender in 120 mL water) to mist around the eyes.
Tips for Diluting Oils for Exotic Animals

  • When using an oil for the first time or for pets under 20 lbs it's best to dilute with a 1:4 ratio or more. That's one drop of essential oil to 4 drops of carrier oil (like V-6 or coconut oil).  Apply oil(s) mid-spine to the tail and down the rear legs. Once animals are familiar with oils, they can be applied to the neck, head, outer ears, front legs, and so forth.
  • Always dilute “hot” oils like Oregano, Peppermint, Thieves, etc. You can always add more oil, so dilute more and apply more frequently versus diluting less.
Poultry Care

In today's society, many people have a backyard flock, and these amazing creatures can benefit so much from natural practices with essential oils and oil-infused products!

  • Use Animal Scents Ointment for cuts and scrapes as needed
  • Add 1 drop of Oregano and a splash of Apple Cider Vinegar to a large (5 gallon) water trough
Because of their anatomy, chickens breathe in higher concentrations of oxygen and whatever else is in the air, so diluting oils for them is key! One great way to keep your coop clean and let your chickens get the benefits of oils is to use this Natural Coop Cleaner Recipe:
  • 16 oz glass spray  bottle
  • 1 capful Thieves Household Cleaner
  • 25 drops Lemon essential oil
  • Fill halfway with white vinegar, then fill with water.
Animals & Supplements

Our animals need the nutritional support of good quality supplements, just like we do! And the same way that we start supplementing to maintain good health before a need arises, we want to do this for our animal friends.

Enter NingXia Red, Mineral Essence, and SulfurZyme (Spotlight). These three really wonderful supplements form a baseline for your furry friends to help keep them healthy and active. Another really great thing to give your pest is digestive enzymes!

  • Adding a round of Life 9 (Spotlight) after antibiotics, oral use of antimicrobial oils, severe diarrhea, or an infection is a wonderful way to support a healthy microbiome for your pets!
  • MultiGreens is a wonderful supplement to include for immune support, viral infections, and neurologic support.
  • NingXia Red (Spotlight #1, Spotlight #2) is amazing for SO many things.

Essential Oils & Large Animals

Essential oils can be a huge benefit to our animals! In fact, in a healthy environment, horses and other large animals come into contact with essential oils naturally as they graze, consume herbs, and scratch against trees.

Oils & Large Animals at a Glance

  • Start by placing a drop of oil on your hands and allowing your pet to sniff.
  • Remember animals have heightened smell, so a little goes a long way. 
  • In general, large animals (horses, mules, donkeys, mini horses, etc.) will use the same dose or dilution as humans (it's directly on the oil bottle!), though there are always species-specific considerations. Diluting is never a bad choice! Dilute more and apply more frequently. 
  • Animals with fair or red coats or have a finer bone structure may require more dilution. Also, after applying an oil, stay with the animal for 15-20 minutes to observe any discomfort. If they try to lick it off, are upset or anything, use more dilution.
