SulfurZyme Supplement Spotlight - July 2021

SulfurZyme

Supplement Spotlight


What is SulfurZyme?

Sulfurzyme is a unique combination of MSM ( the protein-building compound found in breast milk, fresh fruits and vegetables) and NingXia wolfberry. Together, they create a new concept in balancing the immune system and supporting almost every major function of the body. MSM has the ability to equalize water inside the cells, which is. considerable benefit for those needing join support.

- excerpt from the Essential Oil Desk Reference, Life Science.


If you have skin, hair, nails, or joints (and we hope you do), you are likely not getting enough of this compound. We and brittle nails, hair that doesn't grow or isn't healthy, joints that are painful, and skin issues can all be giant billboard signs telling you that you need more nutrition in this area. Skin that is ultra sensitive to the topical use of oils can be another telltale sign. This one supplement (capsules or powder) can do so much to help you benefit from everything else you are doing with our oils to increase your health.

SulfurZyme at a Glance
Sulfurzyme supports overall wellness by bolstering your joints, aiding your immune system, and supporting normal metabolic function, circulation, and bone, hair, and skin health.

Five Health Benefits of MSM
  1. Helps treat Arthritis Symptoms - As a supplement, its common to pair MSM with glucosamine and other joint supporting ingredients, like chondroitin, in a single formula. Controlling inflammation, and providing sulfur are conventional methods of supporting joints and assisting those suffering from Osteoarthritis conditions. Arthritis Research UK alone references several MSM trials for osteoarthritis.
  2. Makes Skin Healthier - Hair, skin, and nail cells all contain large amounts of keratin, which contains sulfur and needs it to stay strong. Boosting keratin production helps you fight back int he battle against aging, protects you against wrinkles, stretch marks, and sunburns and helps the skin heal faster.
  3. Eases Menstrual Cycle Pain - Menstrual pain is usually caused by the swelling of the Fallopian tubes, the ovaries or the womb as it prepares itself to house an egg. Cramps can cooer either while the lining is constructed or while it is falling away. MSM can reduce the swelling and soothe the pain caused by the inflammation.
  4. Helps Treats IBD - There are studies that prove MSM is an effective treatment against certain inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and Colitis.
  5. Improves the Immune System - MSM helps reduce swelling and sooth inflammations. Oxidative stress can lead to pain and discomfort and can lead to the progression of other diseases. That sulfur in MSM helps fortify the muscle and soothe the stress on the joints leading to better muscular function all around. It also contains antioxidants that help tackle the free radicals that damage you immune system.
"What makes this product different from the other products is the exceptional purity of MSM we use. This pharmaceutical grade MSM in SulfurZyme is light years away from the low-grade material imported from Asia. Unfortunately, a great deal of the MSM sold in the US originates from Asia. I believe that the key ingredient that makes SulfurZyme so effective is the Chinese Wolfberry. With over 18 amino acids and 21 minerals, the wolfberry is one of the most nutrient-dense foods known. Few people realize that in order for us and our pets to properly metabolize the sulfur in MSM, the body requires minerals like molybdenum. When these are missing, MSM does not work as well. This is why wolfberry is so important."
- D. Gary Young, founder of Young Living.

Lavender Oil Spotlight - June 2021

Lavender

June's Oil Spotlight


Lavender essential oil has a scent that's a wonderful blend of fresh, floral, clean and calm. It's this dynamic aroma that has made the plant a classic for perfumes, soaps, freshness, and beauty products. 

Lavender is a great beginner oil and a must for every home, which is why its a part of the Everyday Oils Collection in the Starter Bundle. Lavender essential oil isn't a favorite only because if its classic scent - its also highly versatile. From skin care products to relaxing routines, this oil can infuse and enhance many areas of your life.

Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in June. My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.

Lavender AT A Glance

  • Has a fresh, floral aroma that pairs well with many other oils
  • Can help cleanse and soothe minor skin irritations
  • Can be soothing to the skin after a day in the sun
  • May reduce the appearance of blemishes
  • Support aging skin
  • Cams and relaxes the mind and body
  • Soothes seasonal respiratory needs

Background

Did you know that lavender is part of the mint family and is one of Young Living's most popular oils? Young Living has three farms that grow lavender, located in Utah, Idaho, and France - ooh la la! Lavender is steam distilled from the flowering tops of the plant, and it takes 27 square feet of lavender plants to make one 15 mL bottle of Lavender essential oil.

In Ancient Greece, Pedanius Dioscorides, a physician pharmacologist and botanist, praised the many qualities and uses of Lavender. You can find Lavender essential oil in many Young Living's blends, including Stress Away, Tranquil, RotaVaLa, Forgiveness, and Harmony.

Lavender & Emotions from Eryn Jones

Lavender is great for the many common fears we are tempted to give into:
  • Fear and Abandonment, being left alone. By rubbing Lavender over the abdomen and using the mantra "I embrace all life's experiences" can help us be open to self-reliance and our contentment to all things. The opposite of abandonment is not being fully self-reliant, but being connected to everything working together for our good.
  • Fear of Criticism. This one is huge, especially if you are in a line of work where you put yourself out there often (or if you have a high-maintenance toddler too!) Using Lavender as perfume while paring it with mantras and unconditional love for ourselves can be a great practice for developing self confidence.
  • Fear of New Things, fear of moving forward. Sometimes there are big transitions in life and sometimes it seems scary to open ourselves up to change. Lavender has a beautiful way of calming the central nervous system to help us be more open to change and gaining positive momentum.

Daily Habits with Lavender

  • Unwind in the evening with a calming, Lavender-infused neck or back massage. Feeling tense? Add a little Peppermint and Frankincense.
  • Use Lavender as a part of a bedtime routine by rubbing it on the bottoms of your feet and diffusing it next to your bed.
  • Make a relaxing Lavender eye pillow (find the details here)
  • Rub Lavender and coconut oil on the skin after time in the sun or make an after-sun spray or balm.
    • 1/4 cup solid coconut oil (or liquid carrier for a spray)
    • 10 drops Peppermint essential oil
    • 20 drops Lavender essential oil
    • Optional: 15 drops Tea Tree essential oil for extra red/hot skin.
  • Add 10 drops of Lavender to 1 cup Epsom salt to a bath to create a relaxing environment. We also love adding Peace & Calming or Frankincense to the mix.
  • Use Lavender seasonally to support the airways when air quality is less than ideal.
    • Seasons Change Roller Blend: 15 drops each Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Copaiba then fill it with carrier oil. Roll over the chest, wrists, or just below the nostrils.
    • Add 5 drops each Lavender and Copiaba to 1 cup fine grain sea salt and dilute with 8-12 oz distilled water to make a DIY nasal rinse solution.
    • Use a drop of Lavender Vitality under the tongue or swiped on the inside of the cheek.

DIFFUSE

Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations and enjoy the refreshing scent of Lavender this month!

Join us in using Lavender oil blend daily to create daily habits that support our overall health - physical, mental, and emotional.

The Feelings Kit Ditch and Switch - May 2021


The Feelings Kit

May Ditch & Switch


As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products for ourselves and families! 

Join us as we detox our emotions this month and switch out conventional coping mechanisms for healthier, healing options. 

For May, we are focusing on digging deep to release all our comfort vices, sit with and honor our experiences and trauma, and to the emotional work needed to move forward in healing and self love. Instead of turning to things like detachment, Netflix binges, alcohol, food, sugar, shopping, work, projects or any other comfort measures that keep us from truly processing the emotions beneath, we are going to pull out the Feelings Kit and use these oil blends with intention and consistency.

WHY WE USE IT

Why use these essential oils (or any Young Living oils at all) 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.

Further, the Feelings Kit blends contain a combination of essential oils high in compounds that can cross the blood brain barrier to reprogram bad coding from the cells. The 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 is that we have 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.

The feelings collection includes six essential oil blends, each of which is a powerful tool for supporting and releasing emotional patterns. Use in the morning and evening to promote peaceful thought and spiritual harmony.

Harmony essential oil blend
(info via Carissa Sherman)

Harmony essential oil blend helps to release toxic benefits and though 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.
  • Fear of punishment is the opposite of love. When we are beating ourselves up, we actually turn from love into fear. These are opposites.
  • Sarcasm is an emotion that develops from long-term exposure to incongruent words and actions. Example: witnessing hypocrisy, or long periods of time living with someone who brings drama or trouble on themselves, remaining clueless to the cause. This emotion produces "mocking." Instead of harmony, it creates a repetitive and offensive sound that interrupts the notes of others.
To Use:
  • 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 its sensitive), and hold your hand over the spot.
  • Take several deep breaths. This is a simple step to become aware of the mind-body connections. 
Its 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.

Forgiveness oil blend
(info adapted from Carissa Sherman and Eryn Jones)

The oils in the Forgiveness blend are high frequency oils, Melissa, Geranium, Frankincense, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Coriander, Angelica, Bergamot, Lemon, Ylang ylang, Jasmine, Helichrysum, Roman Chamomile, Palmarosa and ROSE! These oils work synergistically together to create a calm, uplifting environment when forgiving yourself and others.

This blend can help us release the stagnant, toxic thoughts stuck in our body's memory that act as a safety mechanism. They were encoded in our past when we felt unsafe, and from that point on, all of our senses have been given a warning note that says something like "people will hurt me when they get too close," or "men/women can't be trusted," or "I am not lovable," among other signals. These memories can be triggered by sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell, and they show up in our current experiences and pull us down. The most common emotional patterns created are Self-Denial, Revenge, and Distrust.

The problem is that our bodies can't tell the difference in an emotional threat and a physical threat. When we start feeling emotionally vulnerable after these messages have been encoded, the body will send warnings, sometimes thousands of times per day, to keep us alive. We want to reverse these patterns, to restore the blubbering of our original ability to be at PEACE.

Emotions associated with Forgiveness:

Distrust (felt in the gut)
  • Distrust results from being stressed, and stress is caused by many subconscious messages pulling us in different directions. To establish a healthier pattern of trust, we need "integrity," which is where our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions can become consistent. No more secret messages internally scattering our thoughts.
  • Old pattern: Distrust.  New pattern: Integrity
  • Affirmation: "I honor truth."
  • We can release old trauma and untruth that is stuck in the body, and we move forward with integrity.
Wanting Revenge (Felt in the head, back of neck)
  • There is no such thing as turning your feelings off or magically being detached, so what we are doing here is to move in a different direction with a new and greater purpose - to detach or remove ourselves from the mission of revenge.
  • When you diffuse Forgiveness, if relationships where you have wanted someone to get paid back resurface in your memory, you can take a moment to establish a thought pattern.
  • Old pattern: Revenge.  New pattern: Detachment (move in a new direction.
  • Affirmation: "I have a new mission. I am letting go of the old."
Self-Denial (felt in back of neck, base of skull)
  • The most common root of denying our own needs is expecting other to know what we need before we have asked. This leads to living with a spirit of neglect, blaming others, and unforgiveness. In fact, it often looks like taking care of everything under the sun EXCEPT for ourselves, and an underlying thought cycle that we are "the only one who does anything around here."
  • Old pattern: Self-denial.  New pattern: Wisdom.
  • Affirmation: "I support myself."
When using Forgiveness blend, meditate on the opposite of the above emotions - supporting yourself, finding awareness to honor your own truth, detaching from allowing someone else to have a say over your worth and value.

Use the mantras below as you apply the oil, sit with the feelings until you feel a shift. Oils are very powerful in helping to create new pathways in the brain.

Mantras to pair with Forgiveness blend:
  • I have courage to honor my truth.
  • I learn from all experiences.
  • I forgive (others or myself).
  • I support myself.
  • I am worthy.

Inner Child oil blend
(info via Carissa Sherman)

Inner Child essential oil blend releases emotions that distort memories in our cells. Think of this like a picture or video of past events where little edits were made to present something threatening, even if that was not the case. The symptoms of this vary widely, but we might notice some patterns:

  • When someone tries to be honest, especially friends/family, we continually hear their voice criticizing us for months afterward.
  • We find ourselves revisiting the same short list of past hurts on a regular basis, telling stories about what someone did or said to us, thinking each time that if we just vent... the pressure of that pain or offense will let up.
  • We create an image of ourselves (typically a bad one) and no matter what we do to take care of ourselves, that recording makes sure we stay ashamed, disappointed, and hopeless, or...
  • We finally start feeling better about ourselves because we have fulfilled an imaginary list of "things that will make us feel accomplished" - only to find that the stress of keeping up with that list starts to slowly steal from our relationships or our sanity.
Inner Child blend is sometimes referred to as "The Therapist." When you visit a therapist, they do their work, not by talking, but through listening. They encourage you to share the feelings, past, and thoughts that make up you inner workings. To process through how you came to your patterns, actions, and current beliefs.

Many times there were situations where someone as a child felt unseen, unheard, or unvalued. In order to move forward, it is important to look back and allow that inner child to speak. When we consider what a child will need, we begin to see our own needs more clearly. It's obvious to us that a child who has experienced something new or difficult would require additionally help and attention to deal with that event.

Some practicalness for this blend are:
  • Overcoming the trauma of abuse
  • Promoting acceptance
  • Accepting our own needs
  • Stimulating an emotional healing process
  • Releasing obsessive habits and patterns
  • Supporting the mind, body, and emotions during periods of transition.
  • For children who struggle with intense fear, trouble letting go and moving on, or who have been uprooted or experienced a traumatic change - this oil will be a huge support.
To Use:
  • Place several drops of Inner Child in your diffuser. you can also apply some around the navel and rub a drop into your palms to inhale directly.
  • Use this blend on and around you consistently. Our emotion patterns that took a lifetime to form aren't going to get unraveled completely in one day.

Present Time oil blend

Present Time is an oil blend of Neroli, Spruce and Ylang Ylang in a base of almond oil, making it wonderful for direct application or diffusing. Present Time helps you focus on the here and now, so you can get beyond the past and move forward. When paired with the other oils from the Feelings Kit, this is a powerful tool for truly bing present with your current experiences and releasing the pain of the past.

Neroli: used by the ancient Egyptians fo rite healing of mind, body and spirit. Neroli is stabilizing and strengthening to the emotions, promotes peace, confidence and awareness, brings mental awareness to alleviate anxiety, depression and insomnia.

Spruce: opens and releases emotional blocks, fosters a sense of balance and founding.

Ylang Ylang: promotes relaxation balances male and female energies, restores confidence and equilibrium, alleviates insomnia.

This blend of oils creates a strong, encouraging scent to increase the ability to focus on the present moment. As busy people, 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.

Release oil blend

Release is a blend of Ylang Ylang, Olive oil, Lavandin, Geranium, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Grapefruit, Tangerine, Spearmint, Lemon, Blue Cypress, Davana (a POWERFUL emotional oil), Kaffir Lime, Ocotea, Jasmine, Chamomile, Blue Tansy (highly supportive and calming to the Central Nervous System), and ROSE. These oils are high frequency and powerful for allowing us to tap into the root of our emotional distress, honor the past experiences and release the pain to move forward in our full potential.

Release is a helpful blend to aid in releasing anger and memory trauma from the liver in order to create emotional wellbeing. It helps open the subconscious mind through pineal stimulation (sandalwood and tansy stimulate the pineal gland) to release deep-seated trauma.

For our purposes, trauma can be defined as "any situation where you got less than you needed and were not equipped to process it." These traumas actually get stored deep within our cellular memory, and we can use the limbic system of the brain to help shift our thoughts and emotions around these traumas and patterns.

Helps Release feelings of:
  • Anger
  • Frustration
  • Being held back
  • Rebellion
  • Feeling wronged
  • Fear of success
  • Loss of identity
Helps promote feelings of:
  • Cleansing
  • Freedom
  • Harmony
  • Unconditional love
To Use:
  • Diffuse throughout the day.
  • Diffuse with lavender at bedtime.
  • Apply topically to wrists, over the heart, to the edge of ears and feet.
  • Remember to use it EVERY DAY! Repeat a positive affirmation that rings true to your situation.
  • Affirmations: "I am safe. I am loved. I am valued. I am enough just as I am right now."

Valor oil blend

Valor's woodsy, positive scent comes from a blend of Black Spruce, Blue Tansy, and Frankincense. Valor is helpful for many emotions around our fight or flight response, thus it's battle-worthy name. In fact, this oil is inspired by oils that Roman soldiers would bathe in before battle. The oils would sit atop the water in their bath houses and this special blend was added before a big battle. When they rose from the water, the oils would soak and stay on their skin to help prepare them for something big and scary ahead.

This blend can also be a key oil in overcoming emotional abuse and recovering from trauma. It's a powerhouse when facing a trial or season of adversity because its natural properties help align the body both emotionally and physically. Remember emotions and trauma are often stored in the physical tissues and fascia of our bodies and oils help release stuck emotions and tension at a physical level from specific parts of the body:

  • Feeling resigned (like you can't fight it) - diaphragm
  • Feeling like you are losing a battle - just below lower lip
  • Fear of conflict - abdomen, just above right and left hips
  • Feeling aggressive - abdomen, just above right and left hips
  • Feeling defensive - stomach
Valor has properties that get to the core control centers of the negative emotional programs. When we're ready to make a change, to start challenging that 'fight or flight' survival mode with a better way of thinking and living, this is the perfect oil.

Using Valor for emotional support can be as simple as applying some to your shoulders, the bottoms of your feet, the back of your neck, or anywhere that you're experiencing tension or a stressful tightness in your body. One great technique is to place a drop or two of Valor between your wrists (palm-up side) and then hold them together for a few minutes.

It's ultimate diffuser oil with it's deep, grounding scent. If you're taking time to relax, meditate, or work on your spiritual and emotional health, you can just hold your wrists together while you're sitting quietly.

The Feelings Protocol

It has been said that when there's a conflict between reason and feeling, we humans always tend to side with feeling. As Dr Gary Young has said, "99% of life’s decisions are made from feelings."

That’s why if we want our lives to be guided by good decisions that lead to health, happiness, and contentment, we need to be aware of and in control of our present feelings. By focusing on fixing our feelings, we can fix most aspects of our lives - physical, mental, and spiritual.

And the perfect way to do this? Young Living’s Feelings Kit! Yup! 

The primary protocol is to apply these feelings oils before work and every night before bed. Try this for 30 days and notice all the delightful changes the Feelings Kit Protocol will bring into your life.

If you are wrestling with big emotions or trying to process hard situations, here is a great protocol developed by Gary Young that you can follow using the Feelings Kit:

Step 1Apply Valor to the bottoms of your feet to balance your feelings.
Valor's inspiring and calming aroma will help you greet each morning with a positive attitude or refocus at the end of a challenging day.

Step 2 - Apply Harmony on the chakra points to allow negative energy to escape. Harmony's uplifting to the mind, helps you become more creative and confident.
There are seven points along the spine:
  1. Coccyx
  2. Sacrum
  3. Lumbar
  4. Dorsal (heart)
  5. Cervical (where the neck meets your shoulders)
  6. Medulla (hollow place at the center base of the skull)
  7. Pineal (center of forehead)
Step 3 - Apply Forgiveness clockwise on the navel and let go of negative emotions.
Sometimes when others do us harm (or when we do harm on others), we struggle to forgive (them or even our own mistakes). But we owe ourselves forgiveness. To forgive means to free ourselves from negative emotions. To forgive is an act of self-love. Here are 5 steps to forgiveness:
  1. Forgive yourself for allowing the person to affect your health and happiness.
  2. Forgive the other person for any harm he/she may have caused you (this doesn't need to be done in person, as this is just an inner-adjustment on your part).
  3. Give the other person permission to forgive you.
  4. See the good in the situation.
  5. Be thankful for the experience and the lessons you gained from it.
Step 4 - Apply Present Time to the wrists and behind the ears to lift the burdens of the world.
Nothing good can be obtained by living in the past. "Today" is where we need to live to achieve true happiness and fulfillment. And Present Time helps with that - it is so empowering - it creates a feeling of being in the moment.

Step 5 - Apply Release over the front and back liver in a circular motion and wait as feelings of frustration are lifted.
Peace is achieved when we release ourselves from the negative emotions. Release blend facilitates the ability to let go of such emotions, promoting harmony and balance.

Step 6 - Apply 1-2 drops of Inner Child just under your nose to open the pathway to connecting with your inner self.
"When you are a child, all things are possible. There are no limitations," says Dr. Gary Young. Stimulate your memory and reconnect with your authentic self through the sweet fragrance of Inner Child. This is an essential step to achieve emotional balance.

Step 7 - Reapply Valor essential oil to complete the cleansing of feelings and provide completeness and balance.
Relax and unwind for a few minutes more and let yourself shift into a new state. Through time, you will be amazed at how big changes can come in a gentle way.

Join us this month as we dig deep to release our vices, sit with and honor our past experiences, and do the emotional work needed to move forward in healing and self love.

Peppermint Oil Spotlight - April 2021

PEPPERMINT

April's Oil of the Month


Energy, vitality, and fitness - things we all want, right? We want healthy, strong bodies, minds and spirits, which is why we are committed to using our favorite Young Living oils and products consistently and frequently! And peppermint essential oil is definitely one of our most used for this purpose.

Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in April! My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.

Peppermint AT A GLANCE:

  • Cools fatigued muscles after physical activity
  • Produces a focused environment when diffused
  • Provides a refreshing experience when mixed with your favorite shampoo or when applied to skin after a warm day in the sun
  • Creates an invigorating and refreshing experience when inhaled

Key Constituents

  • Menthol
  • Menthone
  • Menthofuran
  • 1,8-Cineole (Eucalyptol)
  • Isomenthone
  • Neomenthol
  • Menthyl acetate

PEPPERMINT & EMOTIONS 

Peppermint also has a strong emotional benefits. The bright, crisp aroma is wonderful to inhale to soothe anxious feelings, uplift the spirits and calm racing thoughts and restlessness.  When we inhale oils, the area of our brain dealing with memory and mood is affected, so diffusing or applying peppermint oil can help us tremendously. It's wonderful paired with citrus oils for a vibrant, uplifting aroma!

PEPPERMINT & RAINDROP:

DAILY HABITS WITH PEPPERMINT:

  • Add a drop or two to the back of the neck to support alertness and focus! Also diffuse during school, homework or work time.
  • Add peppermint to an Epsom salt bath and/or use for a post-workout massage to ease and support tired muscles.
  • Add a few drops to dryer balls for the fresh smelling laundry.
  • Apply with coconut oil to the chest and back to support the airways. This is wonderful before lying down at bedtime. You can also add Lemon, Lavender, RC, and Raven.
  • Add a drop directly to the belly button to lower body temperature when needed.
  • Make a Tension Roll-On. Give tired, tense, or sore muscles some love! One great thing about Peppermint is that it actually helps support our muscles and tendons through the strain versus simply making the skin tingle like convention pain creams. In a 10 mL roller bottle add:
    • 10 drops Peppermint
    • 10 drops PanAway
    • 10 drops Copaiba
    • 5 drops Oregano or Marjoram
    • Top off with a carrier oil. Apply frequently and consistently
    • Avoid getting too close to the eyes. If you get it in your eyes, rub with coconut oil or other carrier oil.
  • Make a Digest Roll-On. Throughout history, peppermint has been used to calm and soothe digestive needs, so adding it to your digestive blends makes sense! There's a reason all the items on the GI isle at the drugstore are peppermint-flavored. In a 10 mL roller bottle add:
    • 10 drops Peppermint
    • 10 drops Lemon
    • 10 drops DiGize
    • Top off with carrier oil. Apply over the abdomen as needed!

DIFFUSE: 

Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations and enjoy the refreshing scent of peppermint this month!

ALSO FOUND IN:

Will you join us in using Peppermint oil daily to support our health and cultivate energy and vitality! Lets create great daily habits that support our overall health!

Pain Cream Ditch and Switch - April 2021


April's Ditch & Switch

PAIN CREAMS


As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products for ourselves and families! 

Join us as we detox our homes and switch out conventional products for cleaner, greener and better options! 

For April, let’s make a simple swap that can make a big difference - Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream! Say goodbye to all the stinky muscle rubs and grab a tube of Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream!

Lets talk about conventional over the counter pain and muscle rubs for just a second. Did you know that products that are cool and hot simply contain ingredients that make your skin tingle so you forget about the muscle pain beneath it? They don't actually help support muscles, tendons and tissues that are in need of help. Plus they are filled with less than ideal ingredients like petrolatum, artificial colorants and fragrance.

Here's a quick low-down on the real “F word” - fragrance. Fragrance is a very loosely defined term when it comes to use in personal care and household products. Fragrance and synthetic perfumes are problematic because companies aren’t required to disclose the exact ingredients in the fragrances. Even ‘natural fragrance’ is problematic. Just because something is natural, doesn’t mean we want to rub it on our skin (ie: formaldehyde - a naturally occurring compound that we don’t want on our skin!). So the 'fragrance' listed in those muscle rubs could be just about anything... and we don't want to rub that all over our skin, especially when we need some relief!

Enter Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream! This is one of our absolute favorite products, especially when pair with a little Deep Relief or the CBD Muscle Rub Balm! Pulled or overtired muscles, tension headaches, arthritis, back aches, any ache or pain really! Just a dab of the pain cream, rub in well and roll on your Deep Relief a few minutes later and you're good to go!

The Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream blends Wintergreen oil and Peppermint oil with other high quality ingredients that are amazing for your whole body. The pain-relieving benefits come about in two ways: methyl salicylate found in Wintergreen helps alleviate pain deep in the muscles and joints, a natural method found in Peppermint provides a lovely cooling effect. This formula doesn't just make your skin tingle like other OTC pain creams - it actually gets to the muscles to help relieve the pain and support healing. It is also considered an over the counter product, making Young Living the only essential oil company to have OTC items!

WHY WE LOVE IT

  • Free from fragrance, petrolatum and other chemicals
  • Plant-based formula featuring methyl salicylate from Wintergreen essential oil and menthol from Peppermint essential oil
  • Actually supports the muscles and tissues beneath the skin
  • Has a lovely cooling effect
  • Contains aloe vera and isn't drying to the skin

TO USE

To use, simply apply to the affected area up to three or four times a day. If you need a little extra, alternate with Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream and/or Deep Relief Roll-on!

Join us this month as we make this simple swap that will impact  your health and wellness routine!

Lemongrass Oil of the Month - March 2021

LEMONGRASS

March's Oil of the Month


Create a healthy wellness routine and refresh your home for spring with Lemongrass! 

Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in March! My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.

LEMONGRASS AT A GLANCE:

  • Includes the naturally occurring constituents neral, geranial, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene
  • Has skin-cleansing properties
  • Enhances massage after activity
  • Purifies the air from bad odors
  • Reduces musky aromas in moist, damp environments

BACKGROUND: 

Lemongrass recalls exotic locales and warm winds and adds a subtle scent of citrus to the air, making it one of our favorite springtime oils! Lemongrass belongs to the Poaceae family, the flowering plants known as grasses. The plant is native to Southeast Asia, South America, and other tropical locations where warm, moist climates encourage its growth. It is distilled from the leaves and woody stalks of the lemongrass plant, and it produces a subtle citrus-herb scent. Lemongrass has a sophisticated and relaxing aroma that can transform your home’s environment into a comforting sanctuary!

LEMONGRASS & EMOTIONS by Eryn Jones: 

LEMONGRASS is a wonderful oil for the "shoulds" and "expectations" we so often feel, whether they are real or perceived. Number 9s on the Enneagram Personality Test feel these in their gut. Rubbing Lemongrass or DiGize over the abdomen or diffusing Lemongrass can help release them and focus on their own needs and wants. (Side note: this can often physically manifest as actual stomach discomfort and these oils can help with that too!)

LEMONGRASS & SKINCARE:

  • Use lemongrass as a spot treatment for blemishes. You can also make your own T-zone toner with this simple recipe:
    • 2oz glass bottle
    • 10 drops Lemongrass
    • 5 drops Lavender
    • Fill with Witch Hazel
  • DIY Lemongrass Sugar Scrub: The citrusy scent of lemongrass is super uplifting, and the oil itself is actually really good for your skin. This simple sugar scrub recipe is perfect for your hands, lips, and body, helps soften skin and is super moisturizing. Massage this concoction gently into your skin to get rid of dry and rough skin, leaving your skin super soft and hydrated. 
    • 1 cup sugar
    • ¼ cup olive oil
    • 3 tbsp raw honey
    • 10 drops lemongrass essential oil
    • In a mixing bowl, mix together sugar, olive oil, honey, and essential oil until well blended. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

DAILY HABITS WITH LEMONGRASS:

  • Add a few drops of lemongrass to dryer balls for the freshest smelling laundry!
  • Make your own substitute for chemical-based air fresheners. To a 2oz spray bottle add 10 drops of lemongrass, a splash of witch hazel, and fill with water. Spritz it over carpets, furniture, and linens to eliminate stale odors!
  • Adding 3–4 drops of lemongrass to a sink full of dishes, a load of laundry, or Thieves Household Cleaner for extra oomph and a wonderful, uplifting scent!
  • Add lemongrass to an epsom salt bath and/or use for a post-workout massage to ease and support tired muscles.
  • Reach for lemongrass for sleep support! Throughout history it has been used as a sedative and a tool for anxious thoughts, so it's the perfect addition to your favorite sleep roller. Try this recipe: In a 10 ml bottle add:
    • 10 drops Lavender
    • 10 drops Orange
    • 5 drops Lemongrass
    • Top off with carrier oil. Apply to wrists, back of neck, temples and feet. 

DIFFUSE: 

Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations for a green spring home!

  • A Midsummer Night’s Dream: 5 drops Citronella, 3 drops Geranium, 2 drops Tea Tree, 2 drops Lemongrass
  • Apple Pie: 4 drops Cinnamon Bark, 2 drops Lemongrass, 2 drops Grapefruit, 2 drops Bergamot
  • Lemon Bars: 4 drops Lemon, 4 drops Stress Away, 2 drops Lemongrass

Endoflex - Oil of the Month Feb 2021


OOTMEndoFlex

Create Healthy Habits and Happy Hormones in February with Endoflex!

Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in February! My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use!


In our modern world, glands like our thyroid and adrenals have to work ever harder to keep us healthy, and we want to support them properly! Endoflex oil blend is a great way to do just that.


WHAT IS ENDOFLEX? Endoflex is a blend of the following oils:

  • Spearmint - A rocket pack for your metabolism while supporting your nervous system to bring beautiful balance.
  • Sage - Commonly used for purification and release of the negativity that wears us down from the inside - physically and emotionally
  • Geranium - Say "I love you" to your hormones, liver, and pancreas with this beautiful, floral oil that is great for the endocrine system.
  • Myrtle - You say "Thyroid?" I say, "Myrtle!" Pair them together and watch the beautiful friendship begin.
  • German Chamomile - Calming to your system and especially supportive of healthy liver function.
  • Nutmeg - The star of adrenal support. Like a car that can't shift into the next gear, when our adrenals are worn out, we will sputter and find no oomph to continue moving forward.
  • Sesame Seed Oil - Rich in Vitamin E and nourishing to the skin and body.

WHAT DOES IT DO? Endoflex supports healthy thyroid function, hormones, metabolism, and adrenals - the entire endocrine system! This oil blend will help all of these pieces of your puzzle come together as you gradually work your way to a place of more energy that comes from within. By providing balance to this body system, Endoflex gives vital support to the pituitary and pineal glands as well as the parathyroid, thymus and adrenal glands. Endoflex essential oil can help support your body's natural metabolic function which could in turn aid in shedding some extra pounds.

This blend is often very beneficial for teens and kids who are developing hormonally because today's environment and habits put early strain on these areas of their health.

DAILY HABITS WITH ENDOFLEX

  • Add one drop of EndoFlex Vitality to your daily Ningxia Red or drop under your tongue daily for endocrine system support. (This is the best, most effective way to really support your hormones!) I like a drop or two of Endoflex Vitality in my soda water - YUMMY!
  • Dilute in a roller and apply daily over the thyroid (front of the throat), kidneys and adrenals (lower back), and bottom of the feet 1-2 times a day (or more for more acute support!). For a 10mL roller do 40-50 drops Endoflex and fill with a carrier of choice. 
  • Ladies, pair with Progessence Plus for a dynamic duo of hormone support! For the guys, pair with Shutran!

DIFFUSE: Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations for hormone support with Endoflex!

  • Gentle Blossoms: 3 drops Roman Chamomile + 4 drops Endoflex + 2 drops Grapefruit
  • Lovely: 4 drops Endoflex + 4 drops Citrus Fresh + 3 drops Frankincense
  • Love Potion: 4 drops Bergamot + 3 drops Endoflex + 3 drops Vetiver

Essentials - Jan 2021



January 2021 Essentials
What should I order?



While we don't need a new year to rest our health, its is a great time to do so! Join us this month as we refresh our homes and reset our health! Here are a few essential items we're using in January!




LEMON essential oil – for the home and our health

SLIQUE ESSENCE blend – combat those sugar cravings

ENVISION essential oil blend – for dreaming and planning (its never too late to make some life goals)

MASTER FORMULA – our favorite multivitamin (transfer your multivitamin to YL brand!)

CLEANSING TRIO – A gentle and effective detox (Check out all the goodness of the Cleansing Trio here)


LEMON Essential Oil:

Versatile, bright and joyful. That's how we would describe this starter kit oil! Lemon essential oil benefits skin and hair as much as its aroma enhances your environment and supports your mood. This best selling oil can be used in so many ways: Mix it with your cleaning products, use it during your nighttime skin care routine, or add a drop to your shampoo & conditioner for a great scent. One of the main ways we are using it this month though, is for a gentle system reset and detox by adding it to our water each morning.


SLIQUE ESSENCE

This incredible blend combines Grapefruit, Tangerine, Lemon, Spearmint, and Ocotea with stevia extract in a unique blend that supports healthy weight management goals. These ingredients work together to help control hunger, especially when used in conjunction with Slique Tea or the Slique Kit. The pleasant citrus combination of grapefruit, tangerine and lemon essential oils adds a flavorful and uplifting element to any day with the added support of spearmint that may help with digestion. I'm using this blend in my water to support my weight goals, digestion, and overall health.


ENVISION essential oil blend

A blend of Black Spruce, Geranium, Orange, Lavender, Sage and Rose essential oils, the Envision blend stimulates feelings of creativity and resourcefulness, encouraging renewed faith in the future and the strength necessary to achieve your dreams. Use Envision to help inspire clarity and vision when creating goals. Add a drop to your palms, rub them together, and hold them to your nose to inhale deeply. As you inhale, remember your goals and set your intention on making them happen.


MASTER FORMULA

Master Formula is a full-spectrum, multi-nutrient complex, providing premium vitamins, minerals, and food-based nutriment to support general health and well-being. Collectively, these ingredients provide a premium, synergistic complex to support your body and overall health. This formula also contains gut flora-supporting prebiotics which make your Live 9 Probiotic even more effective! Because it includes antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other food-based nutriment, Master Formula helps neutralize free radicals in the body – something we definitely need on a daily basis!


LIFE 9 PROBIOTIC

SOOO much of our overall health actually starts in the belly, so a good probiotic is a staple for a healthy lifestyle. Life 9 is a proprietary, high-potency probiotic that combines 17 billion live cultures from 9 beneficial bacteria strains that promotes healthy digestion, supports gut health, and helps maintain normal intestinal function for overall support of a healthy immune system. Each bottle contains 30 capsules, making it easy to use this helpful supplement daily.


CLEANSING TRIO KIT

The Cleansing Trio Kit contains ComforTone capsules, Essentialzume tablets and ICP powder – the products you need to begin improving your health, cleansing your system and eliminating build-up waste, while specifically supporting normal liver function. Each individual supplement is augmented with herbs that are rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, fiber, and essential oils and when used in combination these supplements will give you new energy and an improved sense of well-being! What a way to start the new year!
