Progressive Plus

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 ProgEssence Plus Serum is an essential tool for hormone health.


The reviews are in - People love this product for the way it helps promote feelings and relaxation, harmony, and balance. ProgEssence Plus is specifically formulated for women. It features some of Young Living's most-loved essential oils, including Frankincense, Bergamot, and Peppermint to nourish and moisturize the skin and to create a natural, pleasant aroma.

ProgEssence Plus contains USP-grade, super-micronized progesterone from wild yam blended with essential oils and Vitamin E to help women find balance the way nature intended. The unique formulation maximizes the effects of this natural progesterone by utilizing an innovative delivery system that allows enhanced absorption through the skin. Wild yams are said to help normalize blood sugar levels, combat weigh gain and hair loss, and help replace the occurrence of hormone headaches. ProgEssence Plus also helps promote restfulness and sleep.

Each of the essential oils in this blend plays an important role for the body:
  • Sacred Frankincense - a potent antioxidant; supports healthy-looking skin; promotes feelings of grounding
  • Bergamot - supports healthy circulation; immune support; has been used for many years in the Middle East as an herbal medicine; contains constituents Limonene, Linalyl acetate & Linalool
Key Constituents

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

  • Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
  • Linalool - supports stress relief and uplifts the mood
  • Menthol - provides a cooling sensation when applied to the skin, supporting muscles and tendons and allowing other ingredients to absorb more fully
  • Eugenol - known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support as well as antimicrobial activity
Features & Benefits

  • Designed especially for women and made with natural, bio identical progesterone from wild yam
  • Promotes well-being and feelings of relaxation, harmony, and balanace
  • Easily absorbed and contains skin-nourishing premium essential oils and Vitamin E
  • 100% plant-based and naturally derived vegan formula
  • Formulated without parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, synthetic preservatives, synthetic fragrances, or synthetic dyes
We have heard story after story of women finding relief from so many hormone-medicated health needs when starting ProgEssence Plus. Some of these include hormonal acne, the need for support during monthly cycles, support for PCOS and fertility, and so much more.

How To Use ProgEssence Plus Serum Daily

  • Apply 2-4 drops on the stomach, feet, or inner thighs daily.
  • Rotate application sites to avoid applying to the same area 2 days in a row.
  • For added effect, 1-2 extra drops may be applied.

Try adding ProgEssence Plus to your daily routine, and enjoy the relaxing, harmonizing experience of applying its non-greasy formula to your skin. You'll also love the addition of Copaiba, Cedarwood, and Clove essential oils that give ProgEssence Plus its complex, sweet aroma.

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:

Hello! I'm Jennifer Meckel

 

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


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


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


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


In health, wellness, and abundance!
