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!!

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.

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:
- Duet Diffuser - no water needed, simply add the oil bottles of choice!
- Aria Ultrasonic Diffuser- 15-25 drops essential oil, covers about 430 sq. feet
- Desert Mist Diffuser - 8-12 drops essential oil, covers about 320 sq. feet
- Dewdrop Diffuser and Rhinestone Diffuser - 5–8 drops of essential oil, covers approximately 320 sq. ft.)
- Sprout the Puppy Diffuser - 8-20 drops essential oil
- Find info on these and many more of the Young Living diffusers right here.
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!

Rosemary Essential Oil Spotlight
Rosemary has an earthy, sweet, herbaceous scent that is familiar and welcoming, but many people aren't aware that this oil is a powerhouse! Inhaling rosemary can help overcome mental fatigue, improve mental clarity and focus, ease anxiety and enhance analytic ability. Rosemary is a key player in our beloved Thieves blend and has been burned for centuries as incense to ward off sickness. To say we love this oil is an understatement! Just a Drop of Rosemary
- Has a crisp, invigorating, herbal aroma that pairs well with most other oils
- Promotes shiny, healthy-looking hair
- Cleansing and purifying
- Helps create an environment conducive to work or study
- Supports the immune system and overall wellness
- Contains antioxidants
BACKGROUND
Native to the Mediterranean and Asia, rosemary derives its name from the Latin words “ros” and “marinus,” or “dew of the sea.” An evergreen shrub in the mint family, Rosemary grows abundantly in rocky coastal regions. Rosemary essential oil has an invigorating aroma that can be used to create an environment conducive to work or study. It is often included in soaps, fragrances, shampoos, and household cleaners and is a key ingredient in the Thieves essential oil blend. Rosemary is highly supportive of the immune, respiratory and cardiovascular systems and is often used to support healthy blood pressure.
Key Constituents
*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties
- Eucalyptol - eucalyptol has a distinctive, fresh aroma that has a calming effect on the user when applied in aromatherapy. Research shows that eucalyptol may have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial and neuroprotective effects. It may also act as a bronchodilator, supporting airway opening.
- Camphor - known for its medicinal aroma, camphor has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries for its cleansing properties and was used as a fumigant during the plague era. This constituent may provide antibacterial anti-inflammatory and skin supporting properties.
- Alpha-pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown alpha-pinene to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind.
Rosemary & Emotions
Rosemary can be an incredible health tool when it comes to emotional support! Not only does this herbaceous oil help with mental clarity and focus, it is supportive of the immune system as well. And our immune system is highly linked to our emotional state!
Think about it. When you feel something coming on you are often more easily agitated, feel low energy and even depressed. When we begin to fall below the wellness line it affects us physically, yes, but also spiritually, emotionally, mentally. The opposite is true as well. When we are feeling the negative side of emotions, our immune systems need some support. Feelings of Vulnerable, Exhausted, Unfocused, Uncertain and Run Down are a great time to grab your Rosemary!
One simple way to help with this… keep your bottle of Rosemary beside the bed. When you wake in the morning feeling sluggish, unwilling to start the day, uncertain of what is ahead, take a deep breath of Rosemary. To promote Clarity, dilute and rub over the throat or over the liver.
Daily Habits with Rosemary & Rosemary Vitality
Note: Rosemary and Rosemary Vitality Essential Oil are the same oil; Rosemary Vitality is labeled for ingestion but is the same product.
Add Rosemary Vitality to your dressings, sauces, marinades and infused oils for cooking! Use 1 drop of Rosemary Vitality to replace 1 teaspoonful of dried herb.
Add Rosemary Vitality and olive oil to an empty vegetable capsule and use as a dietary supplement to support healthy circulation, cleansing and cardiovascular health.

These oils are ones we reach for over and over, and they are cornerstones of your natural health and wellness routines!
Golden Touch 1 Collection Oils
The oils in this collection are wonderful for everyday use to support the body from different directions!
- Melrose - Melrose is a combination of four oils: Melaleuca Alternifolia, Melaleuca Quinquenervia, Rosemary, and Clove, making it a wonderful cleansing blend for body and mind! This is one oil we reach for when the crud hits, when we have skin needs, when our airways need some support, and even for cleaning! Use Melrose as you would Tea Tree, and enjoy its rich, herbaceous scent diffused with Thieves, Lavender, or Orange.
- Raven - Raven is the oil blend to reach for when you want to breathe deeply! Raven is a crisp, airway opening blend containing Ravintsara (commonly known as camphor), Eucalyptus Radiata, Lemon, Peppermint, and Wintergreen. This oil is wonderful for respiratory and immune support! Diffuse it, add it to epsom salts when your defenses are going down, make a simple chest rub with Raven and coconut oil, or place a few drops on your shower floor every morning.
- R.C. - This gentle eucalyptus blend is formulated for the whole family and is our favorite for happy noses. R.C. stands for “respiratory comfort,” and it gives comfort to your respiratory system indeed! R.C. combines Cypress, Spruce, and three types of Eucalyptus oils (E. citriodora, E. globulus, and E. radiata) for a respiratory blend that is more herbaceous than Raven.
- DiGize Vitality - DiGize is your BFF for a happy digestive system. So much of our health is linked to a diverse, well balanced gut, but immune health is especially dependent on a healthy belly. DiGize is our go to for all things digestion! This blend of Tarragon, Ginger, Peppermint, Juniper, Fennel, Lemongrass, Anise, and Patchouli is so soothing. Roll it over your abdomen whenever digestive discomfort hits, add it to an empty capsule with olive oil and take daily to support a healthy belly, add it to a large glass of water – however you use DiGize, this oil will make a believer out of even the most skeptical!

EndoFlex Spearmint, Sage, Geranium, Myrtle, German Chamomile, and Nutmeg in a sesame seed oil base. These oils specifically support the adrenal system, thyroid, and overall endocrine health. Apply this oil over the front of the throat (thyroid) and lower back (adrenals), diffuse it, even use it along the spine for big emotions and to support tweens and teens as they grow!
- JuvaFlex Vitality - JuvaFlex is daily support for a happy, healthy liver. The liver is the filtering organ of the body, so it is constantly processing everything we are exposed to on a daily basis. JuvaFlex combines Blue Tansy, Fennel, Geranium, Helichrysum, Roman Chamomile, and Rosemary essential oils – each of which helps the body process and eliminate toxins, cleansing the system and supporting overall health and vitality. The liver is also where anger is stored in the body, so supporting it well and practicing emotional release can have amazing health benefits. If you're needing support for a specific issue and don't know what else to do, try liver support and cleansing! It can be such a huge part of health.
- Thieves Vitality - Thieves is the original oil when it comes to all things immune! Thieves is our germ-fighting best friend. This is a legendary blend of purifying essential oils - Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus radiata, and Rosemary - that are well known for immune support and cleansing properties. Diffuse it, apply it, ingest it in some hot tea – just get the oil in and around you every day!

Raindrop Technique Collection
The Raindrop Technique Collection is one of Young Living's most popular collections, and for good reason! This curated set of essential oils is a powerful tool for promoting health, wellness and vitality – both proactively and for acute needs since the oils included can be incredible tools for healing!Raindrop Collection at a Glance
- Relaxing, rejuvenating, and refreshing to the body, mind, and spirit
- Soothes tension and fatigued muscles
- Supports the immune and digestive systems
- Helps detox the body's systems
- Can be a powerful health tool for daily support and for acute needs
- Includes Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Cypress, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Peppermint, Valor and Aroma Siez essential oils as well as OrthoEase Massage Oil and V-6 Carrier Oil Complex
Young Living's proprietary Raindrop Technique bodywork combines powerful essential oils with multiple modalities of healing. Raindrop includes unique, targeted massage and energy approaches with pure essential oils for a deeply harmonizing, rejuvenating, and relaxing experience that supports overall health. The Raindrop method is a revolutionary means of nurturing harmony within the body—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Background
The Raindrop Technique was developed by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young in 1989 as a unique practice based on methods that have been used for centuries to rejuvenate the body and mind. Inspired by the Lakota Native American tradition of observing the northern lights while inhaling the affirming aroma of nearby conifer trees, the Raindrop Technique helps bring balance and harmony to the body by combining targeted massage and essential oils with specific health properties. These oils are well known for their ability to support the body's natural response to inflammation and pathogens, to soothe the respiratory system, support immunity and ease muscle tension.
Raindrop Massage
During a Raindrop massage, the oils are dispensed onto the back like drops of rain, from about 6 inches above. As they are dropped onto the skin along the spine, the oils are lightly feathered up along the vertebrae and out along the muscles from the base of the spine to the neck. Because of the large amount of nerve endings along the spine, the oils continue to work for several days after application.
Start by applying Valor to the soles of the feet and massaging in gently. Then, apply the oils individually, starting at the base of the spine and feathering each one upward and outward before applying the next one. Apply 3-5 drops of each oil in this order: Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Cypress, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Aroma Siez, Peppermint, and Valor.
For more detailed instructions on how to perform a Raindrop Massage, watch this video from the Young Living YouTube channel.
Key Constituents
*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting propertiesSome studies on the constituents in these oils have suggested the following:
- Carvacrol - this constituent provides incredible benefits including immune health (overall and digestive), antioxidants, and may support the body's ability to heal.
- Thymol - contains cleansing properties, antioxidants and supports the body during times of inflammation.
- 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
Raindrop & Emotions
Because our bodies are intricately designed, we cannot separate the physical from the emotional, and Raindrop can be a powerful emotional tool as well! When we begin to fall below the wellness line it affects us physically, yes, but also spiritually, emotionally, mentally – which means that supporting our physical bodies also helps support our emotions.
Whether it is muscular, from an immune system need or something else, physical pain and stress on the body also affects the emotions. Massage can be a wonderful tool for relieving this, and adding in the powerful properties of the Raindrop oils takes the healing even further!

Winter Spa Diffuser Blends
There is something fundamentally refreshing about a new year. It's a time to rest, to renew, to sit and enjoy the slowness of winter while holding space for our dreams, our needs and our desires.
Winter is a time to reflect on what we want to continue giving energy to and what we want to gratefully release. During this time let's make room for true self-care everyday with journaling, meditation, and a spa-like experience right in the comfort of your home.
This collection of diffuser blends features some of our favorite winter oils - Lavender, Lemon, Raven, Frankincense, Rosemary and more. These are the blends we are reaching for right now as we extend our winter hibernation, reflect on the year past, set personal and health goals for the future, and refresh and renew our bodies and spirits as we look forward to the year ahead with expectant hope.
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!!

Christmas Spirit Essential
Oil Blend Spotlight
Although we love this blend all year long, there's just a special place in our hearts for Christmas Spirit during the holidays. It doesn't get much better than this cozy scent that lights up the whole room! Make sure you buy now because it's only available for a limited time during the holiday season!
Just a Drop of Christmas Spirit
- Has an uplifting and joyful aroma
- Evokes memories of joy, happiness, comfort, and security
- Fills your space with the scents of winter holidays without the toxins in candles
- Perfect to use during holiday gatherings
- Fabulous to gift to friends (add a diffuser or a Thieves Cleaner!)
Christmas Spirit is a sweet, spicy blend of essential oils that taps into the happiness, joy, and security associated with the holiday season. Not only does it smell like perfection without attacking your respiratory system like synthetic scents, but it is also an effective way to work through the many emotions and memories that crop up during this time of year.
Christmas Spirit is a beautiful medley of three quintessential winter oils:
Christmas Spirit is a beautiful medley of three quintessential winter oils:
- Orange - has a bright aroma that promotes feelings of joy, peace, and happiness; high in limonene, which is great for the immune system
- Cinnamon Bark - the oil of wealth from the Orient, this spicy sweet oil is reminiscent of holidays and is supportive of immune health.
- Black Spruce - like other tree oils, spruce promotes feeling of balance and grounding which are often needed during the holidays.
Key Constituents
Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties.
- Monoterpenes - can support the respiratory system, are responsible for many immune system support properties of essential oils.
- Sesquiterpenes - may stimulate the limbic system of the brain, help lower brain waves from overly active to focused or from focused to meditative, help elevate the mood and calm the body.
- Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits.
Christmas Spirit & Emotions
The oils in Christmas Spirit not only smell incredible and festive, they are wonderful emotional support tools! Orange and other citrus oils are bright, happy and help stimulate creativity. When we are overwhelmed emotionally or are feeling undervalued or not heard, our creativity can suffer. Citrus oils, especially Orange, can help us shift our focus back towards our needs when we use them intentionally!
The Spruce and Evergreen family of oils are the ones to reach for when you feel like you are comparing yourself to others, are feeling undervalued or as though your unique voice has no place. Cinnamon Bark is spicy and sweet, alerting to the senses and the mind. It can help move sadness and grief through the body as it physically warms the skin and helps us stay in our bodies (versus constantly being in our thoughts and emotions) so we can process and heal.
Stop for a moment and breathe deeply, connect to what is truly happening in your body and emotions and use this oil blend to help get your body back into safety. Read more about how to process and release emotions in this powerful book Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils.
