Purification Essential Oil Spotlight - June 2023

Purification Spotlight


Purification is our favorite way to keep our homes smelling fresh and clean - even if they aren't! It has a crisp, fresh aroma, and unlike many harsh chemical-based sprays it truly eliminates odors and doesn't simply mask them. It's a bright, cleansing blend of Citronella, Lavandin, Lemongrass, Rosemary, Myrtle, and Tea Tree that we use in so many different ways!

Just a Drop of Purification

  • Cleanses the air of unwanted odors
  • Soothes skin when applied topically
  • Supports the respiratory system when applied to the chest and back or diffused
  • Helps keep outdoor annoyances at bay
  • Freshens musty and stale areas with its clean, invigorating scent
  • Makes a great addition to your cleaning routine
Purification essential oil blend is a combination of Citronella, Lavandin, Lemongrass, Myrtle, Rosemary, and Tea Tree that is formulated for diffusing to neutralize and cleanse your home and work environment. It is a favorite addition to our cleaning routine, is good at keeping outdoor annoyances at bay, and is also soothing to your skin for everyday irritations! This is one of our mainstay oils because it is so versatile.

Background

Created by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young, this blend was crafted to purify the air. Purification combines Citronella, Lavandin, Lemongrass, Rosemary Oil, Myrtle, and Tea Tree to uplift and cleanse the atmosphere. The plant sources for these oils come from many exotic and beautiful locations: Lemongrass is native to India, Guatemala, and other tropical countries; and Citronella originated in Sri Lanka. Purification utilizes these natural resources to brighten and freshen any space.

Key Ingredients

  • Citronella -  Known for its lemony, fresh scent, Citronella is a natural addition to many outdoor candles, insect repellants, and sunscreens to keep the pests at bay! This oil has a purifying aroma that kicks out odors and can also be used in cleaning routines to purify and cleanse your home.
  • Lemongrass - Lemongrass is a household staple for many reasons. Its bright, crisp scent brings a smile to your face - it is a literal breath of fresh air that purifies and cleanses. Includes the naturally occurring constituents neral, geranial, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene which have wonderful health properties. It's also great for cleansing the skin!
  • Tea Tree - A cleansing oil with a refreshing scent that eliminates odors, this versatile oil can be used for everything from home cleaning solutions to skin care. Tea Tree has been studied for many years for its ability to create an unfriendly environment for yeast, so it's a great addition to the Purification blend.
  • Rosemary - This oil has a crisp, invigorating, herbal aroma that is cleansing and purifying. It's a key ingredient in the Thieves blend - our go to for anything cleaning or immune related! Rosemary is wonderful for heart health and helps support the immune and respiratory systems.
  • Myrtle - Myrtle is another cleansing oil with purification properties, can be supportive to the thyroid, and helps support the immune system. Myrtle has also been studied for its soothing effects on the respiratory system, and can be used emotionally to process through feelings of deep despair to find hope.
  • Lavadin - Closely related to Lavender, Lavandin has a similar aroma, though it is earthier and more cleansing as it has more camphor. This oil is soothing yet more alerting than Lavender and has deodorizing properties, making it a great choice for your beauty or cleaning routines.
Purification & Emotions

Did you know that the body physically stores our emotions? It does!

When we feel an emotion, especially a powerful one and/or one for a long period of time, our firing neurons release chemical messengers to tell our body what's happening. These compounds don't just go away, they get stored. And one place they get stored is the liver!

Our liver is a very important organ. It filters out the blood from our digestive systems as well as detoxifies our bodies from all the things we're exposed to daily - pollutants, chemicals, toxins, etc.

Traditional Chinese Medicine claims that the main emotion associated with the liver is Anger. Other emotions associated with the liver include Feeling Stubborn, Feeling rage, and Resentment. Many eastern practitioners also claim that a low-functioning liver or gallbladder can be due to years of suppressed anger and frustration, and when the anger is finally released it can produce manic behavior. (Hello rage-cleaning!!!)

So what does this mean for our emotions and where essential oils come in?

We can use oils that are supportive of the liver to help our bodies both physically and emotionally. Supporting the liver can help you process emotions and keep your anger in balance. Sometimes it will show you what is beneath the anger, and Purification is one of the best ones for this!

Purification helps with releasing Anger. It helps the body move past this emotion on the spectrum. Anger isn't a “bad” emotion. In fact, it is a very protective one! When we (or our kids) feel like (or do!) act out or explode, it is because we're protecting ourselves from bigger, scarier feelings. Anger is common for kids especially because they haven't learned how to process their emotions. So the next time you or your kids are feeling it, try this:

When you notice you or someone becoming angry or tense, grab Purification and inhale from the bottle, then apply over the liver (lower right abdomen). Verbalize what you're feeling. ‘I'm feeling angry and am going to try and let go of that. Help me think of something silly or funny since laughter is the other side of anger.” The quickest way to move anger through the body is with laughter! Modeling this for your kids helps them be able to do it themselves! If you are alone then you can simply say “I'm feeling angry and am going to try and let go of that.” and think of the funny thing on your own.

This process takes time and practice, but using oils for emotions can be a huge support tool!
 
Daily Habits with Purification

Use Purification in your home and cleaning routines!

Have you heard the term ‘greenwashing'? It is when companies throw catch phrases or use certain packaging to trick consumers into thinking they are purchasing a natural product, when in reality,  what they are buying isn't natural at all. Unfortunately the majority of the ‘natural' cleaning brands out there do this, which is a huge reason we love the Thieves Home products! No phthalates, parabens, bleach, formaldehyde, or toxic chemicals in these products - just the power of plants!

Another thing to note is that alllll those bubbles in your sink aren't actually cleaning your dishes any better. It is a trick called ‘pharmaceutical elegance' that acts as a visual cue to your brain to make you think you're getting a really clean sink of dishes. In reality, it doesn't make a difference. And when you switch to natural cleaning options, there are less bubbles because you're using plants instead of synthetic chemicals!

THE REAL F WORD… 

Let's talk about 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!). As the world leader in essential oils, Young Living utilizes refreshing scents of the pure essential oils instead of fragrance!

Grab your Thieves Dish Soap and get sparkling clean dishes today! 

TO USE

Dispense a small amount of soap with warm running water. Add additional soap as needed. Note: Because this soap uses plant-based surfactants, it will not bubble as much as conventional options. If you really want the extra bubbles, add 2 tsp baking soda directly to the bottle and mix well.

DISH SOAP STAIN REMOVER
  • Apply a bit of undiluted dish soap directly to the stained area.
  • Rub gently and let sit for a few minutes.
  • Repeat if needed, then wash with your Thieves Laundry Soap as usual!
THIEVES THE DAY SHOWER BRUSH
  • Thieves Household Cleaner
  • Thieves Dish Soap
  • Dispensing dish brush
  • Fill your brush with half cleaner and half soap. Use to scrub your shower every time you get in!

EssentialZyme Supplement Spotlight - Jan 2023

EssentialZyme Supplement Spotlight

We've all heard how important digestive health is for overall wellness, and most recently more information has been discovered about how digestion affects immunity, mood and essentially all body systems. Because it's so important, we want to support digestion well and one way to do that daily is with enzyme supplements.

EssentialZyme is a bilayered, multienzyme complex caplet specially formulated to support and balance digestive health and to stimulate overall enzyme activity to combat the modern diet. EssentialZyme contains tarragon, peppermint, anise, fennel, and clove essential oils to improve overall enzyme activity, and support healthy pancreatic function.

ESSENTIALZYME AT A GLANCE
  • Stimulates overall enzyme activity
  • Supports and balances digestive health
  • Supports healthy pancreatic function
  • Assists the body in breaking down and digesting food
Why do we need enzymes?? Enzymes are protein molecules that are manufactured by all plant and animal cells and are required for our cells to function! Enzymes support all systems in the body:
  • Digestion - Enzymes break down food so that the body can digest it.
  • Metabolism - Enzymes help properly metabolize the food so that the body can use the nutrients from the food.
  • Respiration - Enzymes assist in getting oxygen where it is needed.
  • Nutrient absorption and transportation – Enzymes help the nutrients get to where they are needed.
  • Detoxification - Enzymes keep toxic sludge from building up in the body.
  • Muscle movement - Enzymes assist in helping the brain communicate with the muscles.
  • Hormone production - Enzymes assist in helping the body produce hormones that in turn keep the body functioning.
  • Cell Repair - Enzymes assist in repairing cells which can lead to youthful skin.
  • Cell division - Enzymes help keep cell division at a normal, healthy rate.
EssentialZyme contains a unique blend of enzymes such as pancrelipase and pancreatin that are known to assist the body in breaking down and digesting food, as well as Tarragon, Peppermint, Anise, Fennel, and Clove premium essential oils to improve overall enzyme activity and support healthy pancreatic function.

TO USE

Take 1 dual time-release caplet 1 hour before your largest meal of the day for best results.

What's the difference between EssentialZyme and EssentialZyme-4?
  • EssentialZyme specifically supports the pancreas containing pancrelipase and pancreatin. These enzymes are to be taken once a day before your largest meal.
  • EssentialZyme-4 is a set of two dual enzyme capsules infused with Ginger, Fennel, Tarragon, and Anise premium essential oils. The plant-based enzymes are designed to release immediately upon entering the stomach, where the environment is conducive to the digestion of plant material. The animal-based enzymes are designed to target release in the lower intestine region, where the environment is better suited for the digestion of animal fats and proteins. In combination, these two capsules aid in the digestion of dietary fats, proteins, fiber, and carbohydrates for optimal nutrient absorption. These enzymes are to be taken with your two largest meals of the day.

Lemon Oil Spotlight - Jan 2023

Lemon Essential Oil Spotlight

Versatile, bright and joyful, just like sunshine. That's how we would describe this 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, making it a staple for every home.

Just a Drop of Lemon

  • Has a fresh, uplifting, citrus aroma
  • Helps neutralize unwanted odors
  • Cleansing and purifying
  • Great addition to cleaning products & DIYs
  • Removes sticky adhesives and residues from non-porous surfaces
  • Can support the immune system when taken internally
  • Has natural mucolytic properties
  • Is high in limonene
  • Contains antioxidants
Read on for more about why we love this oil and ways to use it daily….

Lemon essential oil has many benefits similar to sunshine. It can help brighten our moods, help us find and focus on the good, helps clean and purify and is good for overall health and wellness! Lemon is one of the most inexpensive ways to add incredible benefits to your health with daily use. So grab this citrusy oil and let a little sunshine into your life! 

Background & Sourcing

Originally native to Asia, the lemon tree wasn't common in Europe until the 16th century. It is part of the evergreen family and reaches a height of about 20 feet. Lemon essential oil is cold pressed from the rind of the fruit, is known for its cleansing properties, and is widely used in skin care and home cleaning solutions for these benefits. Its fresh, zesty aroma also makes it an important top note in perfumes, as well as an effective odor neutralizer when diffused.

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

  • Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
  • Gamma-terpinene - a potent antioxidant, Chinese medicine believes that this constituent may halt the advance of unwelcome microbes, reducing the risk of colds and 'flu-like symptoms.'
  • Beta-pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown beta-pinene to support the body through inflammation, to help calm the mind and to ease the body from the ‘fight or flight' response
Lemon & the Liver

The liver is the filtering organ of the body, so that means that every single thing we ingest or put on our skin goes through it to some degree! Everything gets filtered here, so it is incredibly important we show our livers some love and support them well! Not only is the liver the physical filter of our body, according to traditional Chinese medicine, anger and other negative emotions are stored in the liver. When the liver is functioning properly, it allows for the processing and release of both toxic emotions as well as physical toxins from our environment.

One of the ways that we can support our liver is with alkaline foods (typically greens, vegetables, etc). Because Lemon essential oil is cold pressed from the rind of the fruit, it is alkaline and not acidic (like lemon juice). Adding Lemon to your daily wellness routine is a great way to support your liver on a daily basis.

Lemon & Emotions
adapted from Eryn Jones 

As we said above, our liver is a filtering and storage organ, and our emotions can take up root here. There is so much scientific evidence that our emotions have a direct impact on our physical health. Lemon can help with release of many emotions, but here are three to start with: 

  • Frustration is closely tied to our expectations (of ourselves, of others, or of a situation or outcome). The other side, or opposite feeling, of Frustration is Accomplishment. Most of the time when we feel frustrated is usually because we fear that we are not going to accomplish what we want to do/ feel/ or have happen! Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils suggests rubbing a drop or two of Lemon along the ribs, near the sternum (above the bile ducts), and focus on moving beyond your limitations or expectations. If we store up enough frustration that does not get resolved it turns to chronic anger, which is highly associated with liver and gallbladder discomfort or problems. So it's good to let the frustration go!
  • Lack, or the feeling of emptiness- when we don't feel "Complete". The other side of Lack is Full. This also makes this oil great for the Enneagram 7s and Enneagram 4s! Releasing Emotional Patterns suggests rubbing Lemon over the heart and chest while focusing on our completeness and all that we currently possess.
  • Stuck, the opposite of feeling Transformed and moving forward. When we feel stuck we fear experiencing life. So rubbing Lemon on the sinuses can be helpful for branching out and having new experiences and getting un-stuck! Note: do not use Lemon (or other citrus oils) on skin that will be exposed to direct sunlight within two hours.
Product Options

Lemon is a key player in so many of our favorite hair and skin care products (Lavender Shampoo & Body Wash!), our beloved Thieves cleaning products, and essential oil blends such as Thieves, Citrus Fresh, Clarity, Joy and Harmony.
Daily Habits with Lemon

One very simple way to support your liver on a daily basis is with Lemon Vitality! Lemon Vitality is cold pressed from the rind of the fruit, making it alkaline and not acidic, and our livers love alkaline things. But aside from liver support, there are so many ways to use Lemon oil! 

Add Lemon to your food and drink
(See more in the Lemon Vitality Recipes Resource linked below!)

Add a few drops of Lemon Vitality to warm water and drink first thing in the morning before any other food or drink.

Add a few drops of Lemon Vitality  to your water and sip throughout the day.

Add a few drops of oil to a batch of lemon cookies or pound cakes for a delicious twist!

Apply Lemon for its health and skincare benefits

Add Lemon to a roller bottle with R.C. or Raven to help boost the expectorant qualities, support airways and break up mucus.

  • ½ cup Baking Soda 
  • 30 drops Lemon Essential Oil (or a mix of desired oils)
    To Use - add 2-3 Tbsp directly to the laundry.
Add Lemon to your homemade cleaning products for extra power (just don't apply directly to granite or marble). 
  • Add 15 drops of Lemon to diluted Thieves Household Cleaner for a daily spray.
  • Add 10 drops each Pine & Lemon to Thieves Household Cleaner and dilute for a mop solution.
  • Mix 10 drops Lemon oil + ¼ cup Baking Soda  + 1 tsp Thieves Household Cleaner for a kitchen and bath scrub (add more baking soda to consistency as desired)

Diffuse Lemon to neutralize unwanted odors and fill your space with its uplifting and refreshing aroma. It is lovely paired with Peppermint, Thieves or other citrus oils!

The alternate side to feeling unimportant is Empowerment. When we can rest secure in who we are then comparison melts away and our unique blend of magic can shine!

A 2011 study in Pharmacognosy Magazine looked at the anxiolytic effects of an alcohol based pine needle extract and its ability to soothe depression in rats. Bottom line: however you approach it, pine and other conifer essential oils can be powerful health tools! 
Interestingly, we are often drawn to these oils during the colder months, when we are gathering with friends and family, remembering years past, and even grieving the things we have lost. Pine, Spruce, and Fir are calming and grounding and help us connect to feelings of strength and protection, which is something we need while processing those emotions. Adding Evergreen Essence to your daily routine is a wonderful way to support mental and emotional health during these times!

Thieves Oil Spotlight - Oct 2022

Thieves & Thieves Vitality
Essential Oil Blend Spotlight

This month we're focusing on all the simple ways we can support our bodies through the fall and winter, and Thieves essential oil blend is a key player!

Thieves & Thieves Vitality Essential Oil

If there were only one oil we could have in our arsenal, it would probably be Thieves. This blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils smells like a warm cup of chai and is a powerhouse when it comes to our health and our homes! 

Just A Drop of Thieves…
  • Cleansing when applied topically
  • Diffuse to create a fresh, healthy environment
  • Provides immune system support
  • Cleansing to the digestive system
  • Source of antioxidants
Thieves is THE oil for immune support. We're talking what you want to reach for daily to give your body a little extra boost and definitely what you want to reach for when your defenses start to go down. A quick PubMed search for the individual oils in this blend will have you convinced that these oils can be a powerful tool for our health! 

Thieves Background

Formulated by Young Living founder, D. Gary Young, this blend was created from research recorded in the archives of the British Museum library about a group of 14th century European perfumers and spice traders who rubbed oils on themselves while they robbed the dead and dying. The first essential oil blend to be scientifically evaluated in a university research laboratory, Thieves has a rich, spicy aroma, and is a key ingredient in the Thieves Home Collection – your go to for an invigorating clean and healthy home. 

Key Constituents

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

  • Eugenol - known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support as well as  antimicrobial activity
  • Eucalyptol - has a calming effect when applied in aromatherapy; may have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial effects; supports airway opening.
  • Linalool - supports stress relief and uplifts the mood
Thieves & Emotions

Thieves is a powerhouse for our health, both physical and emotional. This makes a lot of sense since our emotions are closely linked with our physical health. When we are sick our energy is low, we struggle with brain fog and lethargy. Thieves can help us there! Rosemary, Clove, and Cinnamon are all wonderful for helping combat brain fog, clearing the mind, and energizing our spirits. Diffuse, apply, add to an Epsom salt bath.

Thieves is a wonderful choice when you need to help promote clarity. If you're feeling uncertain or unfocused, the blend of oils in Thieves can be helpful. Dilute and apply it over the throat or over the liver. 

Product Options

Thieves Essential Oil blend is also infused into a line of home and personal care items that are staples in our homes - cleaner, hand soap, dish and laundry soap, toothpaste, mouthwash and more. And even More Amazing Thieves Products on this blog post.

Note: Thieves and Thieves Vitality are the same essential oil. Vitality oils are labeled for ingestion but contain the same oil as the non-vitality option.

Breathe Again is our favorite respiratory support roll-on! This blend of Peppermint, Cypress, Copaiba and multiple Eucalyptus varieties has a slightly sweet, herbaceous aroma that feels like a deep sigh of relief! This blend contains naturally occurring constituents Eucalyptol, Limonene, Menthol, and alpha pinene which are wonderful for calming, soothing and supporting healthy respiration.

* This blend also comes in a 15mL bottle which is perfect for diffusing, blending with other oils or adding to diffuser jewelry.

The name of this blend says it all!! ImmuPower is a combination of powerful essential oils, including Hyssop, Mountain Savory, Cistus, Camphor, Frankincense, Oregano, Clove, Cumin, and Dorado Azul.

Use this oil blend daily as a mainstay for you to be supported above the wellness line. Use it every few hours for acute needs.

Don't do fall and winter without Oregano! This herbaceous oil helps support a healthy lifestyle when taken as a dietary supplement and packs an incredible immune system punch. Diffuse with Thieves, Lavender, Orange and/or Rosemary. 

Add Oregano to your Thieves Household Cleaner. It is also a great addition to a daily wellness roller and a component of both Inner Defense Capsules the Raindrop Kit. When taking it as a supplement, be sure to use a carrier oil such as V-6 or olive oil to dilute.

RC is a gentle, soothing eucalyptus blend that is safe for children ages 2 and older! We love to diffuse R.C. with Thieves and Orange after school to soothe and support the immune and respiratory systems.

It is also great at bedtime with Lavender! You can use R.C. to make a natural chest rub for little ones just by diluting with some solid coconut oil. R.C. is also a great addition to your daily wellness blend!

The original immune support oil! This blend was created from research recorded in the archives of the British Museum library about a group of 14th century European perfumers and spice traders who rubbed oils on themselves for protection while they robbed the dead and dying. 

Use Thieves daily for immune support and overall wellness. Diffuse, dilute and apply 2-3 times daily, add a drop to herbal tea, and add to Epsom salts for a lovely bath!

Thieves Essential Oil Spotlight - August 2022

Thieves Essential Oil Spotlight

If there were only one oil we could have in our arsenal, it would probably be Thieves essential oil blend. This blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils smells like a warm cup of chai and is a powerhouse when it comes to our health and our homes! 

Just a Drop of Thieves

  • Cleansing when applied topically
  • Diffuse to create a fresh, healthy environment
  • Provides immune system support
  • Cleansing to the digestive system
  • Source of antioxidants
Why we Love Thieves

Thieves is THE oil for immune support. We're talking what you want to reach for daily to give your body a little extra boost and definitely what you want to reach for when your defenses start to go down. A quick PubMed search for the individual oils in this blend will have you convinced that these oils can be a powerful tool for our health! 

Thieves Background

Formulated by Young Living founder, D. Gary Young, this blend was created from research recorded in the archives of the British Museum library about a group of 14th century European perfumers and spice traders who rubbed oils on themselves while they robbed the dead and dying. The first essential oil blend to be scientifically evaluated in a university research laboratory, Thieves has a rich, spicy aroma, and is a key ingredient in the Thieves Home Collection – your go to for an invigorating clean and healthy home. 

Key Constituents

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

  • Eugenol - known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support as well as  antimicrobial activity
  • Eucalyptol - has a calming effect when applied in aromatherapy; may have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial effects; supports airway opening.
  • Linalool - supports stress relief and uplifts the mood
Thieves & Emotions

Thieves is a powerhouse for our health, both physical and emotional. This makes a lot of sense since our emotions are closely linked with our physical health. When we are sick our energy is low, we struggle with brain fog and lethargy. Thieves can help us there! Rosemary, Clove, and Cinnamon are all wonderful for helping combat brain fog, clearing the mind, and energizing our spirits. Diffuse, apply, add to an Epsom salt bath.

Thieves is a wonderful choice when you need to help promote clarity. If you're feeling uncertain or unfocused, the blend of oils in Thieves can be helpful. Dilute and apply it over the throat or over the liver. 

Product Options

Thieves Essential Oil blend is also infused into a line of home and personal care items that are staples in our homes:
Note: Thieves and Thieves Vitality are the same essential oil. Vitality oils are labeled for ingestion but contain the same oil as the non-vitality option.
