This nutrient-dense supplement combines invigorating greens and essential oils to support overall health, energy levels and general well-being.

MultiGreens is a natural, sustainable energy source for the body and is an excellent source of choline which is critical for energy production and also helps with brain fog!
Background
Did you know that there was a study done on MultiGreens that showed a huge increase in absorption versus conventional supplements? This means that when we take vitamins and supplements that are not infused with essential oils, we only absorb a little less than half of what we initially took. THIS (along with the incredibly high quality of Young Living supplements) is why we ditched conventional supplements for the Young Living ones!
When we take Young Living's oil-infused vitamins supplements, the absorption rate increases to 64% in the first half hour alone, and skyrockets to 86% within just one hour! This is because the essential oils help our bodies take in and use the vitamins and minerals in our supplements. Essential oils are able to work as little freight carriers to get the good stuff we are taking into our bloodstream and cells. Plus they all have health-benefiting properties of their own!
Key Ingredients
Each ingredient in the MultiGreens formulation was chosen for a specific reason:
- Bee Pollen - high in protein, low in fat, high in vitamins and minerals including potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins.
- Barley Grass - a powerful cleansing agent, antioxidant, high in minerals.
- Spirulina - a chlorophyll source that is high in magnesium, supports the immune system, liver, intestines and cardiovascular systems, some studies show a link to improved energy and metabolism.
- Choline - supports healthy cholesterol levels, liver health and memory support.
- Eleuthero root - supports energy levels, helps reduce stress, helps strengthen immune cell function and immune system function.
- Alfalfa leaf - high in chlorophyll and minerals which support overall wellbeing.
- Pacific Kelp - contains nutrients that are vital to healthy thyroid and hormone balance and function.
- Amino acids L-arginine, L-cysteine, and L-tyrosine - for healthy circulation, cellular metabolism, liver function and production of dopamine and serotonin.
- Rosemary essential oil - balances the endocrine system, supports healthy blood pressure levels.
- Lemon essential oil - high in the constituent limonene, supports immune system function, cleansing and supportive of digestion.
- Lemongrass essential oil - a highly cleansing oil, some studies may show antimicrobial activity, calming to the digestive system.
- Melissa essential oil - some studies may show anti-inflammatory activity, supports energy levels.
Products & Emotions
When our physical bodies are tired and run down, our emotions are quick to follow. And sometimes it is our emotions that trigger us to our physical health declining! Besides, what is more emotionally exhausting than not feeling great?
Also… hormones. And stress. Thyroid, cortisol and other essential hormones are always affected when we are tired, run down and stressed. Our energy levels bottom out, and we have no pep in our step.
So what do we do? We grab our oils, our supplements and get to work. Ideally we are already supporting our physical bodies as well as our emotions on a daily basis with baseline supplements like MultiGreens. Why? Because balancing our hormones and especially the thyroid is crucial for maintaining good energy levels. Pacific Kelp is in MultiGreen for just that purpose! Pacific kelp supports thyroid function and helps to keep our hormones balanced and in check - something we need daily and even more so when we are run down. Add in all the other powerful ingredients in this supplement, and it is definitely something that can support us both physically and emotionally!
MultiGreens is for...
- Anyone who needs to up iron levels
- Anyone who needs to clean the blood
- Anyone who needs minerals
- Anyone who wants to support the circulatory and nervous systems
- Anyone who doesn't eat a strong, whole-food, many leafy greens diet
- Anyone feeling weak and tired
Note: Does contain barley if you have a severe gluten sensitivity and bee pollen if severely allergic to bee products. Try using Mineral Essence instead for similar benefits.
How to Use
Take 3 capsules 2 times daily. Capsules may also be opened and sprinkled over food or in smoothies - a great option for when you want to give this to children!

A Few Notes on Fragrance...
If you turn over your favorite good smelling products, you'll often find the word ‘fragrance' in the ingredients. But what is fragrance??
Fragrance chemicals are organic compounds that volatilize, or vaporize into the air, which is why we can smell them. They are added to household and personal care products to give them a scent or to mask the odor of other ingredients. Unfortunately, the volatile organic chemicals (VOCs - think the smell of paint or paint thinner) emitted by fragrance products can contribute to poor indoor air quality and are associated with a variety of adverse health effects. They are pretty much the last thing you want in a product for ambiance and aroma.
But it gets a little bit worse…. Did you know that to protect trade secrets, makers are allowed to withhold fragrance ingredients, so consumers can't rely on labels to know what hazards may lurk inside those festive scented candles (and room sprays.. and wall plugs… and perfumes.. and cosmetics…). This is called the “fragrance loophole” in federal labeling law. Although all other ingredients in your scented household and personal care products must be disclosed on the label by their specific name, this loophole means that ingredients added to provide a pleasant scent, or to mask a bad one, need only be listed under the generic term “fragrance.”
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) reports that, while many popular candles and room sprays contain trace amounts of natural essences, they also typically contain a dozen or more potentially hazardous synthetic chemicals, some of which are derived from petroleum. According to the EWG,
“Exposure to fragrance chemicals can cause headaches; eye, nose, and throat irritation; nausea; forgetfulness; loss of coordination; and other respiratory and/or neurotoxic symptoms. Many fragrance ingredients are respiratory irritants and sensitizers, which can trigger asthma attacks and aggravate sinus conditions.”
One example of a harmful ingredient (there are many!) when it comes to fragrance, is styrene, an ingredient added to a wide variety of consumer products. A 2011 finding by the National Toxicology Program (endorsed by the Academy's National Research Council) found that styrene is “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.”
We know only that styrene might be an ingredient in any given fragrance because the International Fragrance Association, an industry trade group, publishes an online “Transparency List” of ingredients that perfumers say they use in formulas for consumer products. Styrene is one of the 3,000-odd ingredients on the list.
When you add up the number of products in your bathroom cabinets and under your kitchen sink that contain “fragrance” – and may contain styrene – the total could be many exposures to a substance we now know is “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.”
THIS is why we are so passionate about ditching conventional products and switching to Young Living's clean, effective and safe options! Young Living NEVER uses fragrance in their products - they don't even need to because of the incredible essential oils. All the Young Living products are infused with the highest quality, therapeutic grade essential oils which not only make fragrance unnecessary, they actually improve our health!

Daily Prebiotic Fiber
Supplement Spotlight
Health starts in the gut, so we want to do everything we can to have a happy, healthy belly! And having a healthy gut isn't something just for those with gut disorders. It is for us all. Taking daily steps to build, support, detoxify and balance gut bacteria and intestinal lining is crucial, and one of our favorite, simple ways to do this is with Daily Prebiotic Fiber! Daily Prebiotic Fiber is a daily prebiotic and fiber drink that is both delicious and easy on the stomach.
Daily Prebiotic Fiber at a Glance
Daily Prebiotic Fiber supports gut health, aids in the body's natural detoxification process, and helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome - all things that are crucial to overall health! This gentle daily formula contains 6 grams of plant-based prebiotics, 5 grams of soluble fiber, and a belly-supporting blend of essential oils - Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary.
Why We Love Daily Prebiotic Fiber
- Contains 6 grams of plant-based prebiotics and 5 grams of soluble fiber
- Aids in the body's natural detoxification process
- Helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome
- Easy on the stomach and well tolerated by those with digestion sensitivity
- Promotes healthy postbiotics in the gut
- Contains D. Gary Young's original essential oil blend of Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary essential oils
- Helps you feel full longer
- Supports cardiovascular health and immune system
Gut Health & Overall Health
Did you know that over 75% of your immune system is in your gut? Sounds so wild, but it is true. This is yet another reason why a healthy, happy belly is of utmost importance!
If you're thinking that you don't feel bad, don't have dietary sensitivities and feel like your gut is just fine, you could still be experiencing symptoms of gut inflammation and imbalance (dysbiosis). Lots of things in our daily life can result in tiny holes in the gut lining, creating a ‘leaky gut.' This is a huge topic of medical study and one for another day, but leaky gut can cause a whole host of symptoms. Some less straightforward symptoms include migraines, brain fog, joint pain, eczema, acne and emotional instability.
If this is you (and honestly even if it's not!) I challenge you to spend a minimum of 30 days eating low-inflammatory foods, moving your body, taking Life 9 and Daily Prebiotic Fiber and seeing how these things change! Bonus points for adding in 2-4 ounces of NingXia Red each day.
Daily Prebiotic Fiber contains powerful ingredients like agave inulin, guar gum, and prickly pear cactus extract that work synergistically (1+1=3) with Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary essential oils to dexotify the gut and promote a healthy environment for bacterial balance. Pairing Daily Prebiotic Fiber with Life 9 is ideal. Daily Prebiotic Fiber creates a clean, happy home for the diverse bacteria of the Life 9 probiotic!
Plus, the ingredients in Daily Prebiotic Fiber provide 6 grams of plant-based prebiotics and 5 grams of soluble fiber. Prebiotics and fiber are crucial for overall gut health and digestive mobility - ease of things moving through which is definitely what we want! As well as overall cardiovascular and immune system health.
Overall, Daily Prebiotic Fiber is an ideal way to maintain a healthy gut microbiome, aid in the body's natural detoxification process, promote healthy postbiotics in the gut, and even help you feel full longer. If that's not a win, I don't know what is!
Daily Habits for Gut Health
- Avoid inflammatory foods
- Eat whole, nutrient dense foods
- Move your body gently first thing in the morning (yoga, sun salutations, stretching)
- Avoid commercial seed oils (canola oil, sunflower seed oil, etc.)
- Take a high quality probiotic like Life 9
- Eat prebiotic foods like garlic, onions, and NingXia wolfberries
- Take Daily Prebiotic Fiber
Gut Health & Emotions
It may seem strange to link gut health with emotions, but there is a big reason why the two things are connected.
We've all heard about serotonin, especially since it is one of our ‘happy' hormones along with dopamine. Serotonin is the control switch for the body and brain's neurotransmitters. It helps us regulate our emotions from excited and energetic to calm and focused, so when levels are too low, problems can certainly arise.
Serotonin is produced in the brain (this is what we hear about a lot with mental health needs), but a large amount is also produced in the digestive system. So much so that our gut is called the ‘second brain.' In fact, almost 90% of the serotonin in our bodies is produced by the peripheral nervous system in the gut. WOW.
So many things impact the gut's ability to produce and maintain adequate levels of serotonin. A few of these include food sensitivities and allergies, acute and chronic stress, gut flora imbalances, yeast overgrowth, acute and chronic illness, conventional medication and antibiotic use. Some of these things are within our control to change and others we have to simply support and rebuild the gut after experiencing. Acute needs are definitely going to require work, but the real ticket to health is in daily actions!
Often when we crave foods high in sugar or white flour, we are innately trying to regulate low serotonin levels. These foods may give us a quick pick me up, but they also lead to a crash shortly after. BUT. There are many ways we can support the gut (second brain remember!) daily to maintain adequate serotonin (among other important things). Adding Daily Prebiotic Fiber to your daily wellness routine is a great way to support your gut on a daily basis!
To Use Daily Prebiotic Fiber
- Mix 1 scoop in 8 ounces of water or juice once daily.
- Take in the morning 30 minutes before meals on an empty stomach.
- Enjoy with water, NingXia Red, or juice

Green Omega-3
Supplement Spotlight
Say hello to this vegan omega-3 supplement that serves up essential fatty acids from algal oil (algae!) instead of fish oil to support your heart, brain, eyes, and immune system. A plant-based source of omega-3 has so many benefits over traditional fish-based sources – less impact on the marine ecosystem, reduced potential for marine contaminants, and a product without a fishy smell or aftertaste. All the good stuff, none of the bad!
Green Omega-3 at a Glance
- Supports heart and circulatory health
- Supports normal, healthy brain function and mood
- Excellent source of necessary fatty acids
- Great for getting and keeping a healthy immune response and antioxidant levels
- Promotes healthy eye, skin, bone and joint health
- Supports metabolic health and a healthy inflammatory response
- Sustainable vegetarian and vegan-friendly formula
Compared to other vegan omega-3 supplements, Green Omega 3 softgels contain one of the highest amounts of DHA and EPA. Each serving packs 330 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and 160 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) from a pure plant source - marine algae. This incredible formula also contains flaxseed oil, which is naturally rich in ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), and Clove essential for its antioxidant properties. Together, these plant- based ingredients give you all the benefits of fish oil supplements without the fishy aftertaste!
The Importance of Omega-3s
The health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids have been well-studied and established, and almost all physicians will recommend an omega-3 supplement! Omega-3s are synonymous with heart health, have a reputation for being anti-inflammatory, and help the body reduce blood clots. DHA and EPA also help reduce triglyceride levels – a specific type of cholesterol that can turn into blood clots.
The brain and eyes are also highly enriched with omega-3 fatty acids, making DHA and EPA critical for healthy cognitive function and eyesight. In fact, a natural treatment for macular degeneration is an omega-3 fatty acid capsule that contains EPA and DHA because it helps relieve intraocular pressure.
The brain is made mostly of fat, and it functions especially well with high levels of EPA and DHA. These omega-3s the brain's communication processes and reduce inflammation, which can help slow aging. This means you have more mental clarity, a better memory, easier decision making, and a better mood when you have enough omegas!
Omegas also help to reduce inflammation – a main culprit for many of the most common ailments we face. Preliminary studies suggest that omega-3s may even help improve symptoms of osteoarthritis and joint pain!
Omega 3s and Pregnancy
But omega-3s aren't just for those who want healthy hearts! Omega-3 requirements increase during pregnancy in order to aid brain growth, especially as it accelerates during the second half of pregnancy and continues through birth.
And these omegas aren't just for the growing babe. Moms need them too, especially during postpartum healing. Did you know that omegas can help with our moods? Getting enough good fatty acids like EPA and DHA go a long way when it comes to recovery – physical, mental and emotion!
Green Omega 3 Key Ingredients
- Algal oil - a plant-based source of DHA and EPA, derived from algae; DHA accounts for 97% of the omega-3 fats in the human brain, making it critical for cognitive function and heart, brain and eye health.
- Flaxseed oil - rich in omega-3 fatty acids in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a well-researched fatty acid that promotes heart health and helps decrease the incidence of cardiovascular disease; contains 50- 60% ALA, making it even more anti-inflammatory than fish oil
- Clove essential oil - an antioxidant powerhouse that supports the body from the inside out; has the highest ORAC value (antioxidant value) of all know foods and plants to help reduce inflammation, support organ health, promote longevity, and maintain overall wellness.
Full Ingredient List
Algal (Schizochytrium sp.) oil, Tapioca starch, Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) oil, Glycerin, Water, Clove† (Syzygium aromaticum) flower bud essential oil, Vitamin E (as d-alpha-tocopherol)
Why a Plant-Based Formula
Algae are easy to grow, requiring only sunlight, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and phosphorus, making algae farming one of the few operations with a neutral carbon footprint. And they are a wonderful source of the EPA and DHA that make fish oil so healthy for our bodies!
As the world's population grows and puts pressure on wild fisheries, alternative plant-based sources of omega-3s, like algal oil, are becoming increasingly popular. Algal oil provides a sustainable way to supplement your nutritional needs and positively impacts the planet.
How to Use Green Omega-3

Versatile and zesty, this oil is a wonderful way to brighten savory dishes and add a refreshing contrast to desserts. Orange Vitality oil also blends beautifully with other fruity flavors, making it a tasty addition to smoothies, juices, and NingXia Red!

Packed with power, flavor, and pure algal beta-glucans, these gummies are a daily must-have for a healthy immune system.
Elderberry & Elderflower
Elderberry and elderflower are two different parts of the same medicinal shrub, and both can be used for their health benefits! While similar, they each have distinct properties that can be used for immune and respiratory health.
Elderberries have been utilized in traditional folk medicine for thousands of years. In European folklore, elderberry consumption was associated with increased longevity and vigor! They are a great source of antioxidants, dietary fiber and vitamins, and are a wonderful way to provide immune support for the body.
Elderflowers are the flowers of the same plant that bloom before the berries form. They have a slight sweet, floral taste, making them a popular choice for teas and cordials. Elderflowers have been shown to have up to two times higher antioxidant activity than the berries due to a higher phenolic content, and they are great for supporting the respiratory system.
Key Ingredients
- 1,3 beta-glucans (from Euglena gracilis algae) - Beta- glucans support immune health, immune function, and upper respiratory tract health. They're sourced through a sustainable indoor fermentation process to reduce waste and prevent harm to marine ecosystems.

Stress Recovery Challenge Essentials
We're so glad you've decided to join us for our Stress Recovery Challenge! This resource is one handy place to find everything you need to know!
Last month we focused on a giant exhale from the emotional and physical stress we've been carrying by supporting our nervous system and creating some practices that help us to let go of thoughts and patterns no longer serving us. This month we are going to move into recovery mode!
Stress over time takes a huge toll on the body depleting it of needed minerals and nutrients and increasing inflammation. Both of these lead to a long list of diseases, dysfunction, and distress! This month we restore and replenish with the Stress Recovery Challenge!
What you will do:
- Take ½ teaspoon Golden Turmeric (Supplement Spotlight)
- Drink Mineral Essence (Supplement Spotlight)
- Take your supplements
That's it. There's no more to it.
Literally will take a few minutes out of your day, and you will not believe the results!
Include the family of all ages, invite friends, and share the fun. The only thing better than getting amazing results is watching people you care about do the same! We're going to walk you through this step by step so simply stay tuned and enjoy!

Stress-Free Diffuser Blends
Finding ways to release stress in our lives is essential to our overall health, and essential oils can help us do that on a daily basis! Create a calm, stress-free atmosphere in your home, car, office or anywhere you wish with a diffuser and a few calming oils. Diffusing is a great way to create a peaceful, uplifting environment, and these blends below are perfect for that.
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 as we diffuse (and apply) these favorite blends to take a moment to rest and reset this summer.
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!!

DIY Dry Shampoo
For light hair:
- 1/4 cup organic arrowroot powder
- 1 Tbsp baking soda (optional, helps with oily scalp)
- 1 tsp organic turmeric powder (optional, for golden tones)
- 1 tsp beet root powder or raspberry fruit powder (optional, for red hues)
- 3 drops Lavender Essential Oil
- 3 drops Rosemary Essential Oil

For darker hair:

Try adding these 1 teaspoon or so at a time and test it to your root color, adding more if you need. If your mixture becomes too dark, add a little more arrowroot powder to lighten it.
Store your mixture in a glass jar. When ready to use, apply the powder to the roots of your hair using a makeup brush. And enjoy the calming yet uplifting aroma of the lavender and rosemary as you go throughout your day!

Peace & Calming Spotlight
Peace and Calming is one of Young Living's most popular blends, and for good reason! Peace and Calming is a unique blend of Tangerine, Orange, Ylang Ylang, Patchouli, and Blue Tansy that will surely become a favorite in your family to relax and calm emotions. This oil can signal overtired and overworked body systems that it is a safe space to release stress and defenses and allow blocks in relationships to come down.
Have trouble sleeping? Try this blend as part of your bedtime routine to create those important rest cycles and rhythms so crucial to our health. Peace & Calming is great to diffuse to create a positive, peaceful atmosphere. This Young Living exclusive is made with five essential oils, including Tangerine and Orange, which contain some of the highest naturally occurring levels of the constituent limonene. This blend also has Ylang Ylang essential oil, another crowd favorite!
Just a Drop of Peace & Calming
- Contains Blue Tansy essential oil
- Has a comforting, fresh, citrus aroma
- Helps freshen the air when diffused
- Creates a peaceful environment for yoga and meditation
- May be supportive to children and animals during an overactive day
Background
Each essential oil in Peace & Calming was carefully selected for its unique benefits:
- Tangerine - contains esters and aldehydes that are supportive of calming the nervous system and releasing anxious thoughts and nerves
- Orange - uplifting to the mind, helps bring a sense of joy and peace; commonly used in aromatherapy to help release anxious feelings
- Ylang ylang - supports relaxation, balances male and female energies to restore confidence and equilibrium
- Patchouli - high in sesquiterpenes, this oil stimulates the limbic center of the brain to support grounding and centering, helps clarify the thoughts, allowing the mind to relax and release insecurities
- Blue Tansy - helps cleanse the liver and lymphatic system, combats anger and negative emotions
Key Constituents
- Sesquiterpenes - known for their ability to calm and focus the mind and central nervous system
- Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
Peace & Calming & Emotions
Peace and Calming is an incredible tool when it comes to emotional health! The Blue Tansy in this blend is specifically supportive of calming the Central Nervous System! Here are two ways to use this oil blend to shift your thoughts and emotions from counselor Eryn Jones:
- For when you feel out of control and out of your depth. Balance and healthy boundaries can be the opposite of out of control. Using Peace & Calming on your stomach, focusing on the mantra "I am content" can really help quell strong desires to be in control. Control is something we often seek subconsciously and don't notice until we feel, well "out of it!". Thus out of control. Peace & Calming can be a huge help in this area!
- For when you feel unwanted or unlovable. Often, feelings of deep unease, instability, and moodiness are born from this deep false belief about ourselves. Just smelling Peace & Calming can help support our hormones too. Often our hormones can get out of whack when we feel deep sadness and unease AND hormones being out of whack can cause these sad feelings and beliefs - everything is connected! Peace & Calming can help both the feelings and hormonal balance!
Daily Habits with Peace & Calming
- Add a drop to your palms, then breathe with your hands over your nose to promote feelings of courage and confidence
- Diffuse in all bedrooms at night to promote restful sleep
- Rub drops on wrists or back of neck to calm anxious thoughts and feelings
- Help tired children wind down busy bodies and minds after active days
- Breathe deeply when situations seem overwhelming
- Apply Peace & Calming to the bottoms of feet at night as part of a bedtime ritual for your whole family
- Dilute it with V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex for a calming back massage before naps or bed
- Add 4–5 drops to 1 cup of Epsom salt for a centering bath at the start of the day or as part of a calming evening routine
- Add it to Young Living Bath and Shower Gel Base for a cleanser your entire family will love
- Combine it with Citrus Fresh™ essential oil blend for a bright, invigorating scent that's perfect for mornings before school or practice.
Diffuse
Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! Our diffusers are running 24/7 with blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations and enjoy the calming scent of Peace & Calming!
- Calm Seas - Peace & Calming, Lavender
- Fresh Air - Citrus Fresh, Peace & Calming, Orange

- Fresh Breeze - Bergamot, Peace & Calming, Jade Lemon

Harmony Essential
Oil Blend Spotlight
Harmony is a beautiful oil blend that you definitely need in our life! This oil blend has an amazing way of amplifying the best in everyone and promoting feelings of balance. Harmony consists of some really incredible, valuable oils like Rose, Sacred Sandalwood, Jasmine and more, and smells so lovely and inviting!
Just a Drop of Harmony
- Has a harmonizing and balancing aroma that is lightly floral with hints of citrus and herb
- Encourages feelings of well-being, confidence and clarity
- Makes a wonderful perfume or after-shave as its aroma is slightly different on every individual
- Can be used alone or with other emotional support oils to release trauma, inspire forgiveness, and allow us to move forward in our full potential.
- Includes high-frequency oils like Rose, Jasmine, and Sacred Sandalwood promote peaceful thoughts and spiritual harmony.
Harmony essential oil blend contains Sacred Sandalwood, Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Frankincense, Orange, Angelica, Geranium, Hyssop, Spanish Sage, Black Spruce, Coriander, Bergamot, Lemon, Jasmine, Roman Chamomile, Palmarosa, and Rose essential oils. It is a beautiful blend of high-frequency oils that is lightly floral with herbs and citrus, making it a wonderful choice for a daily personal fragrance!
Background
The Harmony blend was formulated by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young as a spiritual and emotional blend that may help promote harmony in all areas in life. Intrigued at how different it smells on everyone, men have enjoyed it as an aftershave and women as a perfume for many years, and it is a main blend in Gary's Great Day Protocol.
The oils in the Harmony blend work together to help us promote harmony within our minds and bodies through releasing the past, finding peace in the present and looking forward to the future.
Harmony & Emotions
Why use these essential oils for this process? Because of the power of aromatherapy and the limbic system.
Our sense of smell is directly related to our emotions and mood. The cranial nerve associated with smell sits next to the hypothalamus - the area of the brain responsible for mood, feelings and emotional processing. This means we can connect these two things on a physical level!
Essential oils are also high in compounds that can cross the blood brain barrier to reprogram bad coding from the cells. Then other compounds rewrite that code to restore the original perfect copy, one that will not keep us pulled into the physical and emotional effects of stress. This is a process, but the great thing about essential oils is that we have a CHOICE to embrace that process instead of loading our bodies up with lots of toxins and other things that create more confusion in the cells.
So how do we do this? What does it look like practically?
Harmony helps to release toxic beliefs and thought patterns related to feeling ignored, crushed, hostile, afraid of punishment, beating ourselves up, sarcasm, and stubbornness. When we feel ignored, our perception is that we are not a part of the big picture. We aren't good enough, worthy enough, or able to play our part. When we are crushed, we are collapsing inwardly. Who we are has been forced down and suppressed. We stop seeing our part. When we are hostile, we are quick to see others as the enemy, and everything in life as an opposition to our part. We are trying to play alone, because we can't trust the other parts.
When there are situations where you are experiencing some of the emotions listed above, sit or stand still until you feel where that emotion is causing a sensation in your body. It might feel like pain, twitching, tingling, aching, nausea, heat, cold, or a general tension. Rub Harmony over the area (or just nearby if it's sensitive), and hold your hand over the spot. Take several deep breaths. This is a simple step to become aware of the mind-body connection. It's okay if you don't know how to fix all of these issues right this minute. Begin embracing the idea that you have a part to play, a harmony that only you can add to the relationships and opportunities in your life!
Key Ingredients
- Sacred Sandalwood & Frankincense - high frequency grounding oils that are earthy and calming, soothing to the mind and body; high in sesquiterpene compounds that can help calm nervous energy and balance the body.

Wear this oil as a daily perfume and remind yourself of truths and affirmations for the emotions you are processing.

Present Time helps you focus on the here and now, so you can get beyond the past and move forward. When paired with other emotional support oils, this is a powerful tool for truly being present with your current experiences and releasing the pain of the past.
Neroli is steam distilled from orange blossoms and is the most lovely, uplifting aroma. Neroli was used by the ancient Egyptians for the healing of mind, body and spirit. It is stabilizing and strengthening to the emotions, promotes peace, confidence and awareness, and brings mental awareness to alleviate anxiety, depression and insomnia.
Spruce is a powerful emotional tool. This oil helps us to open and release emotional blocks and helps foster a sense of balance and grounding.
Ylang Ylang essential oil promotes relaxation, balances male and female energies, restores confidence and equilibrium, and alleviates insomnia, which often occurs when we are repressing emotions.
This blend of oils creates a strong, encouraging scent to increase the ability to focus on the present moment. As busy men and women, parents, care givers, employees, etc. we can become so focused on the next deadline, task or responsibility, and it becomes very easy to lose sight of what is directly in front of us. The stack of papers or dishes or laundry seems so time sensitive that we rush through the people in front of us - children, spouses, partners, friends, even ourselves.
Present Time helps us to allow ourselves to give and receive in the present even when we have been hurt in the past.
