Thankful Heart Diffuser Recipes - Nov 2022

Thankful Heart Diffuser Blends

This collection of diffuser blends has some of our favorites for the cooler months. This time of year we naturally start to slow down and savor the beauty around us, and these diffuser blends are perfect for the season.

Many of these blends include ‘spice' oils like Cinnamon Bark and Clove. These essential oils are supportive of the immune system, are antioxidants (with Clove being a powerhouse antioxidant!), and support the endocrine and adrenal systems. This set of blends also includes ‘tree' oils like Northern Lights Black Spruce, Patchouli, and Pine, which are known for their grounding and calming properties.

Further, tree oils are wonderful for releasing emotional blocks, fostering emotional intimacy and connection, and supporting the body's natural response to microbes. Citrus oils also show up in these blends to bring a bright, uplifting atmosphere that is warm and familiar. Each of the oils in these blends supports the body in a unique way, both physically and emotionally!

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 a bit of Autumn to the air and brighten our spirits!

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 November. Get the everyday products you need and get free oils to use in the diffuser too!

Happy diffusing!!

Imagine a cozy little cabin nestled in the woods, a cool breeze blowing by, and the lovely glow of a fire. That is what this diffuser blend is!!

Calming and grounding Patchouli meets the woodsiness of Pine, allowing you to envision the forest. The Clove, Pine and Bergamot bring the crackling fire. 

This blend is a little sweet, a little spicy, and a little woodsy… the perfect cozy combination!

Just like the comfort of your favorite scarf, this blend wraps you in the warmth of familiarity. Diffuse it throughout the cooler months to bring some fall and winter hygge into your home! 

Christmas Spirit is a blend of Cinnamon Bark, Orange and Spruce - the perfect cozy combination that also supports the immune system.

Add in a little extra spruce (Idaho Blue Spruce!) for some sweetness and the spice of Clove for the perfect blend. Clove also helps support the immune system and is a powerful antioxidant!
It may be the season of gratitude, and we believe that a thankful heart is something to cultivate year round!

Joy, Tangerine and Frankincense are powerful emotional tools that can help us recenter and focus our minds and hearts on the beauty of life before us. Joy is uplifting to the emotions, helping us move from feelings of sadness towards joy. Frankincense is incredibly grounding, and Tangerine is uplifting and stimulates creativity.

Diffuse this blend throughout this season as a cue for your inner self to stop and look around at the beauty surrounding you. 

Imagine an overcast autumn day, a warm fire going and being snuggled on a blanket on the couch.

That is this diffuser blend. Warm, inviting and soothing. Lavender and Vetiver help to promote feelings of calm, 

Northern Lights Black Spruce is grounding and soothing, and Orange is uplifting. This combination will also rival any scented candle!

This blend is perfect whenever you need a calming, cozy blend to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere!

Pine essential oil is grounding and calming and also supports the immune system. Orange and Bergamot are uplifting and stimulate creativity. Cinnamon bark evokes the feelings of the season and has its own health benefits, making this blend great for your health while also rivaling the most popular scented candles!


The first snowfall of winter is such a magical time. The air is cool and crisp, all bundled up in warm, cozy clothes or snuggled up by a fire.

Idaho Blue Spruce, Pine, Jade Lemon and Wintergreen are key players in this blend, supporting the immune and respiratory systems (perfect for the cooler months!) and also lifting the spirits and mind.

These oils combine to create a blend that is crisp, bright and fresh, just like the air before the first snowfall.


As Always, I'm here to support you.

Mouthwash - Ditch and Switch Oct 2022

Ditch & Switch:

Conventional Mouthwash for YL Mouthwash



As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products for ourselves and families! Join us as we detox our homes and switch out conventional products for cleaner, greener and better options. A great place to start with this is the Thieves line! This powerful oil blend is infused into both household and personal care items, including mouthwash!

The Thieves Fresh Essence Plus Mouthwash is a crowd favorite for a healthy mouth without the harsh chemicals. Ditch the bottles of the blue stuff and grab some Thieves instead! 

Why We Love Thieves Mouthwash

  • Alcohol free and formulated without synthetic dyes, artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, or harmful antimicrobial agents
  • Loosens buildup in hard-to-reach areas and neutralizes odors caused by bad breath
  • Contains Peppermint and Spearmint essential oils for minty-fresh breath
  • Plant-based and naturally derived ingredients support healthy gums and teeth when part of a daily oral care routine
Thieves Fresh Essence Plus Mouthwash gives you an invigorating clean that's free from harsh alcohol, fluoride, and artificial dyes or flavors. Plus, it is infused with our beloved Thieves premium essential oil blend - the go-to for kicking the germs. 

Key Ingredients

  • Thieves essential oil blend - This blend of Clove, Cinnamon, Rosemary, Eucalyptus and Lemon is cleansing and purifying.
  • Colloidal silver - Colloidal silver is a natural antibacterial agent that helps promote mouth health and is widely used in naturopathic medicine.
  • Peppermint and Spearmint essential oils - These minty oils are great for freshening breath!
  • Vetiver root essential oil - Vetiver root has long been used in natural medicine as studies may show antimicrobial properties.
  • Quillaja saponaria bark extract - Also known as soapbark, this contains saponins that act as a natural foaming agent to help loosen buildup and clean hard-to-reach areas for a better clean than brushing alone.
Conventional Mouthwash vs. Thieves Mouthwash

Sadly many conventional personal care products are chock full of synthetic ingredients that wreak havoc on the body, especially over time, disrupting hormones, causing allergies (often low-level so we barely notice!), and filling our systems with chemicals that cause damage over time. Fragrance, parabens, triclosan, artificial colorants  to name a few - and none of us want that for ourselves or our families!! 

Popular conventional mouthwashes that burn and tingle can actually destroy the microbiome of the mouth! And just like we want a healthy, diverse set of bacteria in our bellies, we want it in our mouths as well. In fact, the mouth is the first part of the digestive system. Things that are overly acidic (like the popular blue and green mouth rinses) can leave the oral microbiome vulnerable to infections, which is the first step in many downstream issues. 

Opting for Thieves Mouthwash is a great daily health habit! Your mouth is naturally clean, leaving any of the good guys you want and none of the ones you don't.

To Use

  • Use twice daily after brushing

Golden Turmeric Supplement Spotlight - Oct 2022

Golden Turmeric

Supplement Spotlight


Turmeric is no stranger to the health scene. YL's Golden Turmeric powder supports the body's natural response to inflammation, immune response, joint health, mobility, and recovery after physical exertion because of its incredible powerhouse ingredients.

Golden Turmeric 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 GF 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.

Curcumin is strongly anti-inflammatory. In fact, it's so powerful that it matches the effectiveness of some anti-inflammatory drugs, without the side effects.
Curcumin is a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals due to its chemical structure. In addition, curcumin boosts the activity of your body's own antioxidant enzymes.
Key Ingredients
Turmeric (Curcuma longa): Curcumin is potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound that also boosts the activity of the body's own antioxidant enzymes. Boswellia resin: Boswellia is a potent antioxidant that supports the body's own response to injury and recovery, scavenges free radicals and supports overall health.
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

Daily Habits with Golden Turmeric

  • Mix ½ teaspoon in 6–8 ounces of water, juice, or milk of choice once daily
  • Drink at nighttime as part of your wind-down routine
  • Combine with water, ice, 1 drop of Cardamom Vitality essential oil, and 2 ounces of NingXia Red for a delicious wellness drink
  • Add to a green smoothie (it's delicious with the Vanilla Spice Protein Powder)
  • Steep Spiced Turmeric Vitality Tea and add ½ teaspoon of Golden Turmeric for a cozy nighttime drink
Start your day with a Golden Milk Latte (full recipe is here)
  • ½ Tsp Golden Turmeric powder
  • 8 oz milk of choice
  • 1 drop Cardamom Vitality
  • 1 drop Nutmeg Vitality
  • Swish of Cinnamon Bark Vitality (insert a toothpick into the bottle, then swirl it around in the milk)
  • Dash of ground cinnamon for garnish
  • Option to froth some of the milk and essential oils in an electric frother for delicious foam! 
    Heat the milk on medium low, then stir in Golden Turmeric powder and add essential oils. Stir gently, then top with a sprinkle of cinnamon!
Make a Turmeric Clay Mask (adapted from Hello Glow):
  • 1/2 teaspoon Golden Turmeric Powder
  • 2 Tbsp flour of choice or ground oats
  • 3 Tbsp full fat yogurt or milk
  • A few drops of honey
  • 3 drops Manuka essential oil
  • 3 drops Frankincense essential oil
    Mix flour, turmeric, honey and milk to make a paste. Add essential oils. Apply a thin layer to your face and let it dry for 10-15 minutes (see below for guidelines). Rinse and scrub gently to remove.
While the powerful antioxidants present in turmeric impart that vibrant yellow color, be aware that this same color can stick around a little too long.  A good rule of thumb to follow is the one minute rule — if you notice no discoloration after sixty seconds, leave on for another four minutes. Test again, and keep it on all the way until 10 or 15 minutes, which should be the max for most products and at-home solutions.

Thieves Oil Spotlight - Oct 2022

Thieves & Thieves Vitality
Essential Oil Blend Spotlight

This month we're focusing on all the simple ways we can support our bodies through the fall and winter, and Thieves essential oil blend is a key player!

Thieves & Thieves Vitality Essential Oil

If there were only one oil we could have in our arsenal, it would probably be Thieves. This blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils smells like a warm cup of chai and is a powerhouse when it comes to our health and our homes! 

Just A Drop of Thieves…
  • Cleansing when applied topically
  • Diffuse to create a fresh, healthy environment
  • Provides immune system support
  • Cleansing to the digestive system
  • Source of antioxidants
Thieves is THE oil for immune support. We're talking what you want to reach for daily to give your body a little extra boost and definitely what you want to reach for when your defenses start to go down. A quick PubMed search for the individual oils in this blend will have you convinced that these oils can be a powerful tool for our health! 

Thieves Background

Formulated by Young Living founder, D. Gary Young, this blend was created from research recorded in the archives of the British Museum library about a group of 14th century European perfumers and spice traders who rubbed oils on themselves while they robbed the dead and dying. The first essential oil blend to be scientifically evaluated in a university research laboratory, Thieves has a rich, spicy aroma, and is a key ingredient in the Thieves Home Collection – your go to for an invigorating clean and healthy home. 

Key Constituents

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

  • Eugenol - known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support as well as  antimicrobial activity
  • Eucalyptol - has a calming effect when applied in aromatherapy; may have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial effects; supports airway opening.
  • Linalool - supports stress relief and uplifts the mood
Thieves & Emotions

Thieves is a powerhouse for our health, both physical and emotional. This makes a lot of sense since our emotions are closely linked with our physical health. When we are sick our energy is low, we struggle with brain fog and lethargy. Thieves can help us there! Rosemary, Clove, and Cinnamon are all wonderful for helping combat brain fog, clearing the mind, and energizing our spirits. Diffuse, apply, add to an Epsom salt bath.

Thieves is a wonderful choice when you need to help promote clarity. If you're feeling uncertain or unfocused, the blend of oils in Thieves can be helpful. Dilute and apply it over the throat or over the liver. 

Product Options

Thieves Essential Oil blend is also infused into a line of home and personal care items that are staples in our homes - cleaner, hand soap, dish and laundry soap, toothpaste, mouthwash and more. And even More Amazing Thieves Products on this blog post.

Note: Thieves and Thieves Vitality are the same essential oil. Vitality oils are labeled for ingestion but contain the same oil as the non-vitality option.

  • Add 1-2 drops to a shot of NingXia Red for a quick spicy boost
Make ‘Thieves Tea' to boost the immune system or when you feel that tingle in the back of your throat:
  • Add a drizzle of raw honey to a large mug
  • Add 1 drop each Thieves & Lemon Vitality

NingXia Greens

Formulated with superfood ingredients, greens, and premium essential oils, NingXia Greens takes the guesswork out of your nutrition needs. All you have to do is scoop, stir, and enjoy!

Key Ingredients

These mushrooms are high in antioxidants, vitamins (including vitamin D), and minerals and have been studied for use in cardiovascular health, cancer prevention and reducing inflammation.
  • Fermented Superfood Blend - A fermented superfood blend that delivers nutrients that are difficult to obtain from a typical diet, this proprietary combination also contains enzymes to support optimal digestion.

The Autumn Handbook 2022

The 2022 Autumn Handbook

It's the season of cinnamon spice, pumpkins, and your favorite scarf. It's the time of year when the air has a chill and the leaves start falling.

Grab a mug of your favorite fall beverage (see ideas below!) and cozy up with this extensive guide to all things Fall!

Cozy Home Favorites


Halloween Diffuser Cauldron or Autumn Pumpkin
Here is some simple and fun seasonal decor using your diffuser + favorite fall oils! You will need:
  • Your diffuser!
  • A plastic decorative cauldron or galvanized pumpkin
  • Orange & Clove essential oils
    Step 1 - Poke a hole on the side/ bottom of the cauldron/pumpkin if plastic for the diffuser's cord. If using metal, simply set the diffuser in and lift the cord out the back.
    Step 2 - Fill your diffuser with water, add oils, turn on. Add spider web or tissue paper on top of the cauldron as desired!
Anthropologie Inspired Blends: Diffuse it, Roll it, Spray it!!
These are some of our favorite diffuser blends for the fall season, but they make great rollers and sprays as well! The recipes below are for a standard diffuser and can be adapted easily!

  • To make a diffuser bomb - multiply the quantity of each oil by 10-20 and place in a dropper bottle with a pretty label. (You can also reuse old YL bottles and add a bamboo dropper top.)
  • To make a 10mL roller - have the total number of drops around 30-50 and fill with carrier of choice.
  • To make a 2oz spray - multiply the drops by 3-5, add a splash of witch haze and top with water in a glass spray bottle and add a label.
Mulled Wine diffuser blend
  • 2 drops Clove
  • 3 drops Orange
  • 3 drops Cinnamon Bark
  • 2 drops Nutmeg
Pumpkin Clove diffuser blend
  • 3 drops Stress Away
  • 3 drops Clove
  • 2 drops Nutmeg
  • 2 drops Vanilla
  • 3 drops Cinnamon Bark
Falling Leaves diffuser blends
  • 1 drop Vetiver
  • 3 drops Sage
  • 3 drops Nutmeg
  • 4 drops Idaho Balsam Fir (or other tree oil)
Sugar Cookies diffuser blend
  • 4 drops Vanilla
  • 4 drops Cinnamon Bark
  • 2 drops Lemon
  • 1 drop Nutmeg
Chai Spice Wool Dryer Balls
Make your laundry smell like fall with these scented dryer balls! Place 3 drops of each oil onto each wool dryer ball and let sit for a few hours before use (recommended to make sure no oil spots transfer to your laundry). Or simply drop one of each oil onto a ball and use immediately. For even faster use, premix these essential oils in an empty bottle and place in your laundry for easy use.
Pumpkin Succulent Diffuser
Create a cute, fun and festive centerpiece with a pumpkin, some succulents and essential oils! 
  • Plastic pumpkins - real work as well but don't last as long
  • Potting soil
  • Small succulents
  • Natural materials - wood slices, Spanish moss, small pine cones, wood rings, etc. (find them at the craft store)
  • Essential oils of choice
    Step 1 - Simply cut the top off of your pumpkin and scoop out the inside if you're using a real one.
    Step 2 - Fill about 3/4 with soil, then plant 2-3 small succulents into the top.
    Step 3 - Add moss, wood slices and rings, small pinecones, anything fall and festive that will soak in essential oils! Add 3-4 drops of oil to the porous materials for a 'diffuser' or spritz with a DIY room spray (witch hazel + water + EOs) every few days!
    NOTE - If you use a real pumpkin, this will only last about a month at most. Using a plastic or ceramic pumpkin will extend the life of the diffuser/succulents indefinitely.
Festive Wreath Diffuser
Create your own festive wreath (and switch it out each season!) with some florals and essential oils.
DIY Scented Pine Cones
This is a fun one because you get yourself outside and collect pinecones in various shapes and sizes. If you have kids they will love doing this with you!
  • Pinecones gathered from your neighborhood, or unscented ones from the craft store
  • Ceramic, glass, or stainless bowl
  • Essential oils of choice
    Step 1 - Preheat oven to 200°. Line an old baking sheet with aluminum foil and place pinecones on baking sheet. Bake pinecones for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
    Step 2 - Add pinecones to the bowl, then add essential oils of your choice about 30 total drops. Seal the bowl & shake so that the oils soak into the pinecones. Leave the bowl in a cool dark place for at least one week. The longer you can leave the bowl covered the better your pinecones will be scented.
    Step 3 - Now they are ready to be displayed on your favorite tray!
Cinnamon Pinecone Fire Starters
This craft is a very simple one that my kids LOVE! It starts with gathering pine cones, which is always a fun fall task.
  • Pine cones in various sizes
  • Yarn of desired color (or even dryer lint!)
  • Essential oils
    Step 1 - Gather your pine cones and spray with diluted Thieves Cleaner, then let sit overnight to dry.
    Step 2 - Once dry, wrap the yarn around the pine cones as desired. You can wrap all of it in the center or cover the whole thing - it's up to you! Just weave the yarn through the individual ‘leaves' of the pine cone.
    Step 3 - Drop a few drops of Cinnamon Bark essential oil (or your other favorite fall scents) onto the yarn and let it sit overnight. Store then next to the fireplace, and add 2-3 to the wood when starting a fire!

For the Little Oilers


Pumpkin Pie Play Dough
An activity for the kids with the option of being free of harmful dyes and ingredients and leaves the house and their little hands smelling AMAZING plus it has immune boosting properties! You can make this together, super easy, then let them play the crisp, fall day away!!
  • 2 cups cornstarch
  • 1 cup Kidscents lotion
  • 4 drops Cardamom
  • 2 drops Orange
  • 1 drop Cinnamon bark
  • 1 drop Clove
    Mix all the ingredients together and let their imaginations run wild!
DIY Clay Leaf Tray
This DIY tray is a fun craft for the little ones to make and gift! Before the clay hardens, you can drop essential oils onto it. Choose stronger scents like Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Thieves or Peppermint to ensure more scent. 
  • Air dry clay
  • Craft paper
  • Rolling pin
  • Craft paint (we like the metallic colors)
  • Paint brushes
  • Modge Podge gloss or other sealer
  • Various leaves from your yard
    Step 1 - Explore around your yard and gather your leaves! Cut out a piece of air dry clay, then roll it out about 1/2 inch thick, making sure your leaf will fit fully onto the clay.
    Step 2 - Press your leaf (vein side down) onto the clay. Make sure all parts of the leaf press in so that you get all the pretty nuances of the leaf!
    Step 3 - Remove the leaf from the clay, and cut around the outline with a knife (have adults do this part), then remove the excess air dry clay from around your imprint. Go around the perimeter of the leaf and gently press the sides up and in to create a small edge If adding oils, do so now.
    Step 4 - Allow the clay to air dry and harden. We set ours on a baking rack so that both sides were exposed to air. After 24 hours they had hardened and were ready to paint!
    Step 5 - Paint! Once the paint is dry, cover with a coat of Modge Podge gloss, then let that dry for 24 hours. After the coating is dry, have your children sign the back and write the year.
We hope you enjoy this Autumn Handbook. Bring the family together and try some of these projects!

Nutmeg Oil Spotlight - Sept 2022

Nutmeg Essential Oil Spotlight

This month we're focusing on all the great things we can do for energy and vitality, and Nutmeg and Nutmeg Vitality are two products at the top of the list!

Nutmeg is an essential fall scent. Warm and welcoming, grounding and so good for our immune and adrenal systems! But it is SO much more than that. Nutmeg helps our bodies to manage stress responses naturally - something that everyone needs these days. Plus it is great for focus, energy, and vitality!

Just a Drop of Nutmeg

  • Has a warm, spicy aroma
  • Offers an energizing and uplifting aroma when diffused or inhaled
  • Can be applied topically to open and support the airways
  • Can be used to soothe tired muscles following physical activity
  • Helps support the body's stress systems and adrenals
  • Support cognitive function and the immune system
  • Contains antioxidants
  • Offers cleansing properties
If there were one oil you could use to support your adrenal system (the stress system!) it would be Nutmeg. This oil is high in the constituents sabinene, alpha-pinene and beta-pinene, making it a wonderful option to support the digestive system, to protect the liver, to help maintain healthy circulation and to provide the adrenals with the support they need on a daily basis. 

Nutmeg Vitality contains antioxidants, may support cognitive function and the immune system, and offers cleansing properties. In addition, it can be used to add a warm and spicy flavor to soups, fall vegetables, and baked goods. Nutmeg and Nutmeg Vitality are the same essential oil, simply labeled differently for aromatic/topical use and ingestion.

NUTMEG, STRESS & THE ADRENALS

Our adrenals are very small glands that can cause a lot of grief when they aren't well maintained. However, they don't work in isolation. Energy levels and the hormones that are released from our adrenals trace back to commands from our nervous system. They are workers, doing a job. If we do not change the instructions they are receiving, they don't have permission to do anything but exactly what they are doing - trying to help you survive. 

The adrenals have to work overtime when we are stuck in Fight or Flight mode. Imagine you were called in to do “temporary” overtime at a job 15 or 30 years ago, but your schedule never went back to normal. I would personally have left the job! But our adrenals are stuck with us. You may have heard that this stress mode is like a bear is chasing you - and it never stops.

Negative emotions are threats that switch on the signal for “danger” in your mind, and your body does not know the difference between these kinds of threats and physical threats - it is all bad and meant to be fought or run from. It doesn't really matter if it is truly threatening, your survival switch is ON and the program is on autopilot. 

If you identify with energy or stress issues, you may be ready to reprogram some of those signals. Enter - Nutmeg!

Take a couple minutes as you're falling asleep to inhale Nutmeg and to plant thoughts that will turn off your adrenal threats. Diffuse Nutmeg in your bedroom before you go to sleep, and inhale some directly from the bottle. Apply a couple drops to your mid back.

Think about how you want the next day to go, and imagine waking up really refreshed. Picture something you love to do and imagine working more of that into your day. Imagine yourself setting healthy boundaries around your time, and not being as drained in the areas where you are truly needed. See yourself at peace, and having passion without fear or anxiety. Most of all, let this revolve around you personally choosing peace inside, and not around having to control anyone else's decisions or actions. Remind yourself that the things you are doing are part of a journey, and that you can feel great about who you are becoming without beating yourself up to get there faster.

When you wake up, get yourself going with another Nutmeg pick-me-up by applying it over your mid back again, and inhaling it deeply. Remind yourself that it's okay to expect the best from the day, because that's how you start to CHOOSE the best.

Product Options

Nutmeg is also found in some of our favorite products for energy and vitality:
Note: Nutmeg and Nutmeg Vitality are the same essential oil. Vitality oils are labeled for ingestion but contain the same oil as the non-vitality option.
