Cassia Spotlight - Sept 2025

Cassia Essential Oil
Spotlight

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

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

Just a Drop of Cassia

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

Background

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

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

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

Cassia & Emotions

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

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

Cassia, The Heartwarmer

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

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

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

Cassia and Health Benefits

Antioxidant Support

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

Circulation

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

Digestive Health

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

Immune Health + Cleansing Properties

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

Blood Sugar Balance

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

Muscles & Arthritis

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Add it to your Daily Wellness Roller:
  • 10mL roller bottle
  • 10 drops each: Cassia, Oregano, Frankincense, Lemon, and RC or Raven
  • Fill with carrier oil of choice
    Roll over the spine and lymph nodes morning and evening
Add a couple drops of to your favorite perfume roller for a warm, spicy undertone.
  • Joy, Tangerine + Cassia
  • Jasmine, Neroli, Stress Away + Cassia
  • Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Tangerine + Cassia
Make a Vanilla Spice Sugar Scrub
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup solid coconut oil
  • 5 drops Vanilla
  • 5 drops Cassia
    Mix essential oils and brown sugar in a glass bowl until well blended, then add coconut oil until the scrub reaches your desired consistency
    Massage the skin in a circular motion and rinse well. This also makes a lovely gift!

Use to create a cozy home.

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

Add 20-30 drops to your Thieves Household Cleaner

Clove Spotlight - Sept 2025

Clove Essential Oil
Spotlight

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

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

Just a Drop of Clove

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

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

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

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

Clove & the Immune System

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

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

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

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

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

Clove & Emotions

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

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

Starbs Run Diffuser Blends - Sept 2025

Starbs Run Diffuser Blends

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Whole Body Cleanse Spotlight - June 2025

Whole Body Cleanse Spotlight

Toxins don’t take a day off. Help your body flush them out daily with a blend of powerful antioxidants and fiber-bound polyphenols for natural detoxification, gut health, and regularity support. It’s our old friend ICP, but better (and tastier!) than ever before with Whole Body Cleanse!

Whole Body at a Glance

  • Gentle intestinal cleanse with herbs essential oils
  • Improves nutrient absorption and decreases the buildup of waste
  • Provides both soluble and insoluble fiber, which are essential for healthy digestion
  • Enhanced with a special blend of essential oils
  • Lightly flavored with natural pineapple and pairs perfectly with NingXia Red!
Whole Body Cleanse powder brings the latest science and most effective plant-based ingredients to your daily cleansing routine. Infused with premium essential oils and multiple fiber sources to nourish different gut bacteria, it supports a healthy gut and your body’s detoxifying, elimination and cleansing process - all in one gentle, daily formula. Just mix with water, sip, and let your body do the rest.

Background

Detox starts in the liver, but your gut and kidneys also play an important role. That’s why Whole Body Cleanse is designed to support overall gut health and promote gentle, daily detox in the gut-liver and gut-kidney axis. 

Unlike typical detox products that focus solely on the liver, Whole Body Cleanse supports the critical third phase of detoxification - elimination. While the liver processes toxins in Phases I and II (see our LiverToneTM Supplement Spotlight), Whole Body Cleanse ensures these toxins exit the body via stool and urine. 

Without this final phase, toxins can be reabsorbed, leading to inflammation, sluggish digestion, and a burdened detox system. This formula helps keep things moving, protect essential mineral balance, and maintain a healthy detox rhythm - day in and day out.

Key Ingredients

Packed with organic baobab fruit fiber, prickly pear juice powder, and kombucha-fermented green tea, Whole Body Cleanse promotes regularity, supports reduced water retention, and nourishes a healthy gut microbiome. Combined with antioxidant-rich ingredients and fiber-bound polyphenols, it helps maintain optimal gut function and overall metabolic health.

  • Polyphenol fiber mix - Delivers soluble and insoluble fibers from apples, carrots,  blueberries, cranberries, and spinach to nourish a diverse gut microbiome; Promotes regularity with insoluble fiber; Acts as a prebiotic to support optimal gut health with soluble fiber and polyphenols; Supports healthy blood sugar levels.
  • Prickly pear extract - Helps reduce water retention while preserving essential minerals.
  • Baobab fruit and green tea kombucha - Provide prebiotic fiber to support gut health; Remain gentler on the GI tract than commonly used selenium
  • Ginger, Anise, and Fennel essential oils - Support overall digestive health as well as soothe and comfort digestive discomfort.
  • Hint of natural pineapple flavor - Provides a light, refreshing taste that mixes easily with water or pairs well with NingXia Red drinks, Daily Prebiotic Fiber powder, Inner Beauty Collagen, or other Young Living products.
Your gut impacts your overall wellness - from digestion and nutrient absorption to immune defense and detoxification. By addressing the gut-liver axis and supporting daily digestion, Whole Body Cleanse supports healthy cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, appetite regulation, and a trimmer waistline when paired with hydration and a healthy lifestyle. Gentle enough for daily use, vegan, and non-GMO, this formula is ideal for those seeking to feel lighter, brighter, and supported from the inside out. It’s notjust a cleanse - it’s part of your daily ritual for full-body wellness.

How To Use Whole Body Cleanse Powder

Take 1 scoop daily with water, NingXia Red drink, or your beverage of choice.
  • Pair with our LiverTone supplement for the daily detox duo your body needs to stay clean.
  • Mix with Daily Prebiotic Fiber powder for more intense cleansing support.
Whole Body Cleanse FAQs

Q. What makes Whole Body Cleanse better than other products on the market?
A. Whole Body Cleanse goes beyond basic cleansing supplements. It combines antioxidant-rich soluble and insoluble fibers, such as baobab fruit powder and a polyphenol fiber mix from apples, carrots, blueberries, cranberries, and spinach. It also features prickly pear (Opuntia ficus indica) juice powder, which helps reduce fluid retention and serves as an antioxidant. Green tea kombucha powder provides polyphenols and catechins that promote lipid metabolism. With this powerhouse mix of antioxidants and polyphenols, Whole Body Cleanse supports gut health, regularity, and natural toxin elimination - while being gentle enough for daily use. 

Q. Is this replacing a current or retired product? Why was the product reformulated?
A. Whole Body Cleanse is a reformulation of our JuvaPower supplement. It features a broader range of fiber sources and the latest, most effective ingredients for daily detox and healthy bowel movements. It also helps reduce water retention while preserving essential minerals. 

Q. Can children use Whole Body Cleanse?
A. Whole Body Cleanse should not be given to children under the age of 4. For ages 5–12, we suggest consulting a health care professional to ensure your children’s individual dietary and health needs are met.

LiverTone Spotlight - June 2025

LiverTone Spotlight

Your liver has more than 500 jobs - and you can help it do its best with this incredible liver supplement! These vegan, non-GMO capsules support liver detox, promote healthy metabolism, and protect liver cells to keep you thriving. Liver Tone is basically like a daily trip to the gym - for your liver!

Livertone at a Glance

  • Promotes healthy liver function (think of it as toning for your liver!)
  • Advanced phytonutrient supplement that supports daily detoxification and antioxidant protection
  • Supports vascular protection, assists in cholesterol and glucose metabolism, and promotes cellular vitality
  • Vegan and vegetarian-friendly formula containing NAC, broccoli seed, artichoke leaf, milk thistle, and more

You can’t dodge every toxin, but you can support your body’s detox powerhouse - your liver. LiverTone is a plant-powered, clinically studied supplement designed to keep your hardest-working organ healthy and functioning properly.

With broccoli seed for detox, artichoke leaf for bile flow, and milk thistle for protective antioxidants, it’s your daily dose of liver-loving support. Supporting the liver is essential for health and vitality, and Liver Tone is a great choice for doing that!

Background

Your liver is a multitasking machine with over 500 essential functions, making it one of the most vital and overworked organs in your body. From producing bile and balancing blood sugar to processing toxins and regulating hormones, it plays a central role in maintaining overall wellness.

But modern life - filled with environmental pollutants, dietary stressors, and synthetic hormones - puts extra pressure on this critical organ. As toxins build up from the diet, environmental exposure, illness, and more, the liver becomes sluggish and stressed. When this happens, everything from eczema to digestive upset, irritability, and brain fog can occur*. That’s where LiverTone comes in, supporting your liver’s natural detox process, helping manage oxidative stress, and promoting healthy metabolic and hormonal balance.

*Adapted from the Supplement Field Guide by Dr. Ashley H. Cribb

Key Ingredients

LiverTone is loaded with clinically studied, naturally derived ingredients that work together to support your liver from every angle. This multi-layered formula aids in Phase I (activation) and II (conjugation) of the detox processes, supports vascular protection, assists in cholesterol and glucose metabolism, and promotes cellular vitality, all while preparing your body for Phase III detox (elimination), supported by the companion product, Whole Body Cleanse (Supplement Spotlight) powder.

  • Artichoke (Cynara cardunculus) leaf extract - A clinically studied ingredient for liver detoxification that promotes healthy insulin metabolism and bile production for breaking down fat-soluble vitamins
  • Red spinach (Amaranthus tricolor) leaf extract - Supports healthy circulation and oxygen delivery with four times more nitrates than beetroot extract (yep, really!); Rich in antioxidants; promotes optimal blood flow, promotes toxin elimination, and reduces oxidative stress

  • Broccoli (Brassica oleracea italica) seed extract - Works like a deep clean for your system, helping to flush out heavy metals and other unwanted substances
  • N-acetyl cysteine - A key nutrient your body uses to make glutathione, your master antioxidant
  • Citrus fresh essential oil blend - High in limonene, an antioxidant that helps repair and prevent free radical damage and soothes and cleanses the liver and promotes detox enzyme activity
  • German chamomile essential oil - A powerful antioxidant that supports healthy cholesterol levels, the liver, gallbladder and the body’s response to inflammation and injury
  • Helichrysum and clove extracts - Your antioxidant allies that help maintain detox pathways so your liver can do its thing.

LiverTone FAQs

Q. Is LiverTone replacing JuvaTone tablets?
A. Yes, LiverTone is replacing JuvaTone. It’s been developed with updated, science-based ingredients to provide the most effective support for a healthy liver. 

Q. Why was JuvaTone reformulated and renamed LiverTone?
A. JuvaTone was reformulated to include modern, clinically supported ingredients that enhance its potency and effectiveness. Additionally, the new name, LiverTone, helps clearly communicate the product’s purpose and benefits, making it more user-friendly. 

Q. What makes LiverTone better than other products on the market?
A. LiverTone contains artichoke leaf extract of a specific cultivar known for its high biophenol content. This ingredient has been shown in clinical studies to support liver detoxification. It also promotes healthy bile formation, which is critical in processing fats and fat-soluble vitamins. 

LiverTone also includes red spinach extract, which has four times more nitrate than beet root extract, the most common ingredient on the market. This helps support nitric oxide production, which in turn supports healthy blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout the whole body.

Super Vitamin B

 Super B is a B complex supplement that is great for maintaining healthy energy levels, supporting mood, heart health and mental clarity. Our current lifestyles often leave our adrenal system (our fight or flight response) on overdrive, and B vitamins are a great way to give them some TLC!

B vitamins are essential to our health and well-being, and each B vitamin performs a unique and separate function. B vitamins are water soluble so must be replenished daily.

WHO SHOULD USE SUPER B?
  • Anyone under stress, as it depletes B vitamins in our bodies
  • Anyone who battles candida. Some believe a lack of it causes overgrowth.

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!!

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!

All Things Diffusing - June 2024

All Things Diffusing

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. This is hands down one of the easiest health habits you can start! And we have you covered right here with everything you need to know.

Diffusing at a Glance

  • Makes your space smell amazing
  • An easy habit for anyone to start at any time
  • A great alternative to scented candles and wall plugs (which are full of toxins!)
  • Benefits many needs - mood, respiration, focus, immunity, cleansing, sleep and more
  • Supports overall health and a low-tox lifestyle
There are three major ways to use essential oils - topically (on the skin), ingesting, and aromatically (diffusing, inhaling from the bottle). We often choose the method of diffusing (or inhaling) over topical or ingesting because it is extremely effective for:
  • Emotions
  • Mental Support
  • Respiratory Support
  • Rest & Relaxation
Cliff notes version: Breathing our oils has the potential to make us happier, healthier, and more focused! 

What & How of Diffusing

All you need to start diffusing essential oils is a diffuser, a little bit of water, and some Young Living essential oils!

Each diffuser will have a fill line on the inside, so just add water to the fill line, add your oils of choice, replace the lid and turn on the diffuser. Instant transformation! You can place a diffuser virtually anywhere - your home, office, even your car! 

  • Feeling a little stressed with early morning traffic? Try Peppermint + Stress Away in an USB diffuser that sits right in your vehicle cup holder.
  • Need some help calming your thoughts at bedtime? Lavender, Cedarwood & Vetiver are your friends. (Put your diffuser right by your bed!).
  • Feeling a little stuffy? Diffuse Raven, Lemon and Frankincense (get extra oomph for diffusing while you shower - oils + steam!).
  • Want a festive atmosphere without the toxins in wall plugs and candles? Fire up that diffuser with a seasonal scent! Cinnamon bark, Clove and Orange are great in the fall/winter, and we love Lavender, Lemon and Lime in the spring/summer!
Quick tip! If you don't have a diffuser or have access to a wall plug/USB outlet, grab a tissue, a wooden clothes pin, or some cotton balls and drop a few drops of oil onto them. Place them in an air vent or under a seat in a vehicle or anywhere you can to create a passive diffuser! 

Benefits of Aromatherapy

The practice of aromatherapy has been around for centuries and has become an incredibly popular area of study in the last decade. There are countless studies on PubMed about the ways that essential oils can positively impact health areas such as immunity, mood and emotions, sleep, racing thoughts, focus and much more.

Does this sound too good to be true? Are you wondering how breathing in some Lavender can change your mood??

Aromatherapy (breathing in essential oils) sends messages to our brain through our cranial nerves. The olfactory (sense of smell!) cranial nerve ends in the brain right next to the organs of the limbic system - the system that controls mood, emotions and memory. So inhaling oils triggers this area, helping us to rest, reset, and recharge. And diffusing is a great way to get the benefit of these oils for more than one individual! You can play with combinations to find the ones you love and that are the most beneficial to you!

Diffusing FAQs

How long can I diffuse at a time?

We have diffusers going in our home pretty much 24/7! In large, open areas we don't keep track of how long we diffuse. At bedtime we use the intermittent setting on our diffusers and let them run all night long! And if we are diffusing in a room where doors are closed (ie kids bedrooms), we simply add less oils and use the intermittent setting. Don't overthink it!

How many drops do I use?

That will depend on your diffuser! Larger ones that cover more area will require more drops. Here are a few of our favorite diffusers available from Young Living:

Do I need to clean my diffuser?

  • We do recommend cleaning your diffuser for best results! For the Aria, YL recommends you wipe down after every use with a clean, dry cloth and, as needed, wash the glass bowl either by hand or in the dishwasher. For other diffusers, YL recommends: 
  • Clean the ultrasonic plate and lid after each use.
  • If essential oil begins to build up on the ultrasonic plate, gently wipe it off using a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
  • If essential oil begins to build up on the lid, gently wipe it off using mild soap and water only.
Diffuser Settings

Did you know you can turn the lights on and off and change the colors on the diffusers? Or that the kids' diffusers can also double as a sound machine? Depending on the diffuser simply press the button on the left to cycle through the light options.

Most diffusers also have 1 or 2 intermittent modes, which can be changed by pressing the button on the right to cycle through the options! This is one of our favorite ways to have oils diffusing while we sleep.

Check out the manual that comes with your diffuser or the product links above for specific info on each one!

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!
