Autumn Harvest Diffuser Blends - Oct 2024

Autumn Harvest Diffuser Blends

These Autumn Harvest diffuser blends will bring the cozy essence of fall into your home, making it smell amazing and also bringing lots of health benefits. 

Infused with warm, spicy scents like cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg, these blends create a comforting atmosphere that promotes relaxation and stress relief. Plus, these oils support the immune system,  boost your mood, and cleanse the air of lingering odors.

Fill your diffuser with one of these seasonal blends to turn your space into a haven of warmth and tranquility, perfect for enjoying crisp autumn days and cozy evenings indoors!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Happy diffusing!!

Falling Leaves Diffuser Blends

There's a certain magic that comes along with the shorter days and crisp air of autumn. The vibrant colors of fall leaves, the cozy warmth of sweaters, and the comforting aroma of rich spices create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

And we think the best way to capture the essence of autumn is through these diffuser blends! These combinations can evoke the smells of the forest, the sweetness of baked goods, and the comforting scents of a crackling fire and help you embrace the spirit of the season.

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

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

Give Yourself a Brain Boost

Did you know that essential oils can literally enhance your environment? Current research in development psychology and education shows us the magic of an "enhanced environment." For children this looks like toys, sports, music, and learning opportunities in addition to their physical environment. These things result in improved cognitive and language development, social and emotional skills, creativity, imagination, and problem-solving skills.

BUT what about us adults?? Adults can also improve these things with an enhanced environment. Dr. Cynthia Woo recently did a study at UC Irvine that diffusing essential oils before bed showed improvement in cognitive test scores, positive changes in brain anatomy, improved cognitive resilience and youthfulness.

The short version? Diffusing oils before bed can improve your brain function!!! (See why you need to diffuse)

Whether you want the ease of app control or the simplicity of manual, standalone use, this diffuser is designed to cater to your unique preferences, ensuring a delightful ambiance for morning, mid-day and evening. 

The Wake-Up Light Diffuser does not require water and can diffuse up to 400 square feet (approximately 37 square meters), making it the perfect bedside companion.

AromaConnect App

Making a shift to low-tox living is literally as simple as switch, schedule, and smell! You don't have to worry about fire hazards from candles, synthetic scents and fragrances, hazardous air pollutants, or burning through oils too quickly. All you need is a diffuser, your oils, and the AromaConnect app (if desired!). (See why you need to say no to artificial fragrances.)

The AromaConnect app allows you to diffuse when and where you want with a simple swipe! Set up routines for devices, rooms, and homes from anywhere – custom light modes, run times, and even sounds. Program device specific settings for a.m. and p.m. so you can choose exactly what, when, and where you diffuse.

Simply download the AromaConnect app to use! Visit either the App Store (Apple devices) or Google Play (Android devices), depending on your device and operating system. Tap the magnifying glass Search icon and type in “AromaConnect.” In the search results, find the app supported by Young Living. In the App Store, click the Get button. In Google Play, click the Install button.

BUT, if you don't want to use the app, you don't have to! The Wake-Up-Light Diffuser will work manually as well!

Directions for Use

  • Transform your bedside table into a sanctuary for mindful moments with the AromaConnect Wake-Up Light Diffuser.
  • Start your day feeling refreshed as you wake up to a gradual sunrise accompanied by a bright essential oil blend and the soothing sounds of nature found on our Young Living farms.
  • Ease effortlessly into a peaceful night's rest as you bask in a gradual sunset, enveloped by a tranquil p.m. essential oil blend and gentle, soothing sleep sounds.
When it comes to choosing oils for your diffuser, it is not recommended to diffuse the DeepSpectra oils, as they are intended for topical application and ingestion to receive the full benefits of these patents-pending extracts. Diffusing oils containing coconut or other carrier oils with the Wake-Up-Light Diffuser risks clogging your diffuser. Thicker, more viscous oils like Myrrh, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, and some past formulas of Simplified by Jacob + Kait essential oils may also lead to clogging and be harder to smell because they diffuse more slowly. For best results, use low-viscosity oils such as Lavender and Orange essential oils or Young Living Stress Away blend.

Learn about everything from convention and create amazing new health habits with the new products released this month!

And NLBS is no different! This oil is a great one to grab after a workout, during acute immune system needs, or anytime your body is feeling the effects of inflammation of any kind!

Golden Touch 1 Collection Spotlight - March 2024

Golden Touch 1 Collection

The Golden Touch 1 Collection includes seven essential oil blends to support your body inside and out. This carefully selected collection is perfect for supporting a healthy lifestyle regimen, handling the bumps in the road, and keeping your spirits lifted during the winter months and all year long!

Golden Touch 1 Collection at a Glance

  • Includes seven essential oils blends to support the entire body - skin, lungs, liver, hormones, digestion, and more.
  • A great way to get started with a toolkit of natural options
  • Includes one of YL's most popular blends -- Thieves Vitality
  • A versatile collection of oils that can be used for multiple needs
Background

This kit includes everything you need to get a huge jumpstart on your natural wellness cabinet. Tackle skincare needs with Melrose. Give your respiratory system some TLC with Raven and R.C. Soothe digestive needs with DiGize Vitality. Support healthy hormones with EndoFlex. Give your liver some love and support health from the inside out with JuvaFlex Vitality. And top it all off with the immune supporting power of Thieves Vitality!

These oils are ones we reach for over and over, and they are cornerstones of your natural health and wellness routines!

Golden Touch 1 Collection Oils
The oils in this collection are wonderful for everyday use to support the body from different directions!

  • Melrose - Melrose is a combination of four oils: Melaleuca Alternifolia, Melaleuca Quinquenervia, Rosemary, and Clove, making it a wonderful cleansing blend for body and mind! This is one oil we reach for when the crud hits, when we have skin needs, when our airways need some support, and even for cleaning! Use Melrose as you would Tea Tree, and enjoy its rich, herbaceous scent diffused with Thieves, Lavender, or Orange.
  • Raven - Raven is the oil blend to reach for when you want to breathe deeply! Raven is a crisp, airway opening blend containing Ravintsara (commonly known as camphor), Eucalyptus Radiata, Lemon, Peppermint, and Wintergreen. This oil is wonderful for respiratory and immune support! Diffuse it, add it to epsom salts when your defenses are going down, make a simple chest rub with Raven and coconut oil, or place a few drops on your shower floor every morning.
  • R.C. -  This gentle eucalyptus blend is formulated for the whole family and is our favorite for happy noses. R.C. stands for “respiratory comfort,” and it gives comfort to your respiratory system indeed! R.C. combines Cypress, Spruce, and three types of Eucalyptus oils (E. citriodora, E. globulus, and E. radiata) for a respiratory blend that is more herbaceous than Raven.
  • DiGize Vitality - DiGize is your BFF for a happy digestive system. So much of our health is linked to a diverse, well balanced gut, but immune health is especially dependent on a healthy belly. DiGize is our go to for all things digestion! This blend of Tarragon, Ginger, Peppermint, Juniper, Fennel, Lemongrass, Anise, and Patchouli is so soothing. Roll it over your abdomen whenever digestive discomfort hits, add it to an empty capsule with olive oil and take daily to support a healthy belly, add it to a large glass of water – however you use DiGize, this oil will make a believer out of even the most skeptical!
  • Endoflex Vitality - EndoFlex is your daily dose of happy hormone support! This supports the entire endocrine system – from your thyroid to the adrenals to estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. EndoFlex Spearmint, Sage, Geranium, Myrtle, German Chamomile, and Nutmeg in a sesame seed oil base. These oils specifically support the adrenal system, thyroid, and overall endocrine health. Apply this oil over the front of the throat (thyroid) and lower back (adrenals), diffuse it, even use it along the spine for big emotions and to support tweens and teens as they grow!
  • JuvaFlex Vitality - JuvaFlex is daily support for a happy, healthy liver. The liver is the filtering organ of the body, so it is constantly processing everything we are exposed to on a daily basis. JuvaFlex combines Blue Tansy, Fennel, Geranium, Helichrysum, Roman Chamomile, and Rosemary essential oils – each of which helps the body process and eliminate toxins, cleansing the system and supporting overall health and vitality. The liver is also where anger is stored in the body, so supporting it well and practicing emotional release can have amazing health benefits. If you're needing support for a specific issue and don't know what else to do, try liver support and cleansing! It can be such a huge part of health.
  • Thieves Vitality - Thieves is the original oil when it comes to all things immune! Thieves is our germ-fighting best friend. This is a legendary blend of purifying essential oils - Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus radiata, and Rosemary - that are well known for immune support and cleansing properties. Diffuse it, apply it, ingest it in some hot tea – just get the oil in and around you every day!

Apply Raven topically to enjoy the cooling sensation of Wintergreen and Peppermint essential oils after a long day or tough workout.

Drop Raven onto your shower floor and let the oil and the steam open your airways.

PanAway Spotlight - Feb 2024

PanAway Spotlight


PanAway® essential oil blend is one of Young Living's most popular products, and for good reason. This blend is a mix of  four powerful essential oils - Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Clove, and Peppermint - that help soothe and stimulate muscles after exercise or anytime you need a little support!

PanAway includes the naturally occurring constituents methyl-salicylate and menthol, which work to support and relieve tired muscles and tendons. The cooling sensation of PanAway makes it the perfect companion for an active lifestyle. Apply it topically after your workouts to feel completely refreshed!

One of our favorite PanAway oil uses is to combine it with V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex and apply it to the chest first thing in the morning for an uplifting boost from its crisp scent. PanAway oil can be used to make a soothing bath soak by adding 10 drops to a cup of Epsom salt; the cooling oil mixed with warm water turns your bathroom into a spa! Whether your favorite PanAway essential oil uses are post-workout or simply relaxing from a long day at the office, this complex and cooling oil is the perfect way to give tired muscles a treat.

PanAway at a Glance

  • Offers a refreshing, stimulating aroma
  • Soothing to fatigued muscles after physical activity
  • Provides a cooling sensation when applied to shoulders, neck, and scalp
  • Stimulating blend of Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Clove, and Peppermint essential oils
Key Ingredients

The essential oils in PanAway work differently than conventional over the counter muscle rubs. Conventional products contain counter-irritants that simply make the skin tingle so the brain forgets the underlying pain.

Essential oils work differently. They can penetrate through the skin, into the cells of the muscles and tendons to support the body through pain and healing. Each oil in PanAway plays a specific role in supporting the body.

  • Wintergreen - supports the body's response to injury and inflammation, supports pain reduction
  • Helichrysum - supports the body through inflammation, muscle spasms and pain
  • Clove - a powerful antioxidant that helps the body during pain and also supports immune system
  • Peppermint - main constituent is menthol, which may work as an analgesic and is highly effective at penetrating through the skin, allowing the essential oils to reach the areas of need.
Key Constituents
*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

  • Methyl-salicylate - a naturally-occurring compound that may have analgesic properties; synthetic methyl-salicylate is commonly used in many over the counter preparations for minor aches and pains.
  • Menthol - has been studied for is use to support healing and relief of minor aches and pains 
  • Gamma-curcumene, Eugenol
PanAway & Emotions

Did you know that all of our essential oils have stress relieving benefits - even if they don't have a special name? It's easy to remember to grab the Joy, Stress Away, or Peace & Calming when it comes to dealing with less “physical” issues, but when you put together a list of your must have basic oils, no matter what they are, they will all be supporting your emotional functions as well.

One of the heavy-hitters in the round up of basic oils is PanAway. It smells like root beer. You probably keep it on hand for physical relief, muscle soreness, cooling massage after a workout, but get ready - this blend also helps us to release…

Exhaustion. Sign me up for a vat!!!

We all know that pain is exhausting, and emotional pain can be crippling when it is pushed down for a long time without being addressed. Our connective tissue and muscles are directly affected by this type of repressed stress.

When you use essential oils, you are not simply addressing a surface issue of “something hurts”. Essential oils interact with our brain and our nervous system. As we intentionally work on managing stress, we begin to CHANGE the instructions and signals our brain is sending out for our survival and protection.

If you find yourself exhausted, it may be time to have a talk with inner you. What is swimming around in there, unanswered, unheard, unfelt. Using PanAway can be a great way to start releasing some of that deep pain and/or exhaustion.

Daily Habits with PanAway

Combine PanAway with V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex and use it with massage after physical activity for a cool, stimulating sensation.

Apply it to your neck and shoulders in the morning with V-6 for an uplifting, refreshing aroma.

Apply it to the bottoms of feet and calves for a relaxing massage. This is especially wonderful after standing or walking all day!

Combine 1 drop of PanAway with 4 drops of V-6 and rub it into your scalp and the back of your neck for an invigorating massage.

Combine 1 cup of epsom salt and 5 drops of PanAway and pour into hot water for a relaxing and refreshing detox bath. Optional companion oils: Copaiba, Frankincense, Oregano, Aroma Siez 

Make a ‘Head On' roller for head and neck tension. 
  • 10 mL roller bottle
  • 20 drops PanAway
  • Optional: 10 drops each Lavender, Copaiba, & Frankincense
  • Carrier oil of choice
Make a ‘Release' roller for emotional exhaustion
  • 10 mL roller bottle 
  • 20 drops PanAway
  • Optional: 10 drops each Tangerine, Lavender, Release, and/or White Angelica

Christmas Spirit Blend Spotlight - Dec 2023


Christmas Spirit Essential

Oil Blend Spotlight


Although we love this blend all year long, there's just a special place in our hearts for Christmas Spirit during the holidays. It doesn't get much better than this cozy scent that lights up the whole room! Make sure you buy now because it's only available for a limited time during the holiday season!

Just a Drop of Christmas Spirit

  • Has an uplifting and joyful aroma
  • Evokes memories of joy, happiness, comfort, and security
  • Fills your space with the scents of winter holidays without the toxins in candles
  • Perfect to use during holiday gatherings
  • Fabulous to gift to friends (add a diffuser or a Thieves Cleaner!)
Christmas Spirit is a sweet, spicy blend of essential oils that taps into the happiness, joy, and security associated with the holiday season. Not only does it smell like perfection without attacking your respiratory system like synthetic scents, but it is also an effective way to work through the many emotions and memories that crop up during this time of year.
Christmas Spirit is a beautiful medley of three quintessential winter oils:

  • Orange - has a bright aroma that promotes feelings of joy, peace, and happiness; high in limonene, which is great for the immune system
  • Cinnamon Bark - the oil of wealth from the Orient, this spicy sweet oil is reminiscent of holidays and is supportive of immune health. 
  • Black Spruce - like other tree oils, spruce promotes feeling of balance and grounding which are often needed during the holidays.
Key Constituents

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

  • Monoterpenes - can support the respiratory system, are responsible for many immune system support properties of essential oils.
  • Sesquiterpenes - may stimulate the limbic system of the brain, help lower brain waves from overly active to focused or from focused to meditative, help elevate the mood and calm the body.
  • Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits.
Christmas Spirit & Emotions

The oils in Christmas Spirit not only smell incredible and festive, they are wonderful emotional support tools! Orange and other citrus oils are bright, happy and help stimulate creativity. When we are overwhelmed emotionally or are feeling undervalued or not heard, our creativity can suffer. Citrus oils, especially Orange, can help us shift our focus back towards our needs when we use them intentionally!

The Spruce and Evergreen family of oils are the ones to reach for when you feel like you are comparing yourself to others, are feeling undervalued or as though your unique voice has no place. Cinnamon Bark is spicy and sweet, alerting to the senses and the mind. It can help move sadness and grief through the body as it physically warms the skin and helps us stay in our bodies (versus constantly being in our thoughts and emotions) so we can process and heal.

Stop for a moment and breathe deeply, connect to what is truly happening in your body and emotions and use this oil blend to help get your body back into safety. Read more about how to process and release emotions in this powerful book Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils

Thankful Heart Diffuser Blends - Nov 2023

Thankful Heart Diffuser Blends

This collection of diffuser blends has some of our favorites for the cooler months. This time of year we naturally start to slow down and savor the beauty around us, and these diffuser blends are perfect for the season.

Many of these blends include ‘spice' oils like Cinnamon Bark and Clove. These essential oils are supportive of the immune system, are antioxidants (with Clove being a powerhouse antioxidant!), and support the endocrine and adrenal systems. 

This set of blends also includes ‘tree' oils like Northern Lights Black Spruce, Patchouli, and Pine, which are known for their grounding and calming properties. Further, tree oils are wonderful for releasing emotional blocks, fostering emotional intimacy and connection, and supporting the body's natural response to microbes.

Citrus oils also show up in these blends to bring a bright, uplifting atmosphere that is warm and familiar. Each of the oils in these blends supports the body in a unique way, both physically and emotionally! 

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 this month as we diffuse these favorite blends to celebrate and be thankful this month.

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!!

R.C. Essential Oil Spotlight - Nov 2023

Olive Wood Massage Tool

This handmade olive wood massaging tool was sustainably crafted by local artisans using olive tree branches in Bethlehem. Use it with Eucalyptus Globulus (another freebie) and V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex, then use the handheld massage tool to pinpoint pressure points and soothe those tired muscles. This is also wonderful with Ortho Ease Massage Oil.

The Holy Land Handicraft Cooperative in Bethlehem provides fair-trade wages and stable employment to those in economically unstable circumstances. But as travel restrictions began to take place in 2020, many artisan groups shut down due to the lack of work.

These orders from Young Living provided much-needed relief in the mist of the economic downturn. Many workshops have reopened, reviving the area and its artisans. Creating and selling unique olive wood products enables these families to stay in their homeland, earn a living, and provide opportunities for their children.
