April Showers Diffuser Blends - April 2024

April Showers Diffuser Blends

Usher in the beauty of spring with this collection of diffuser blends! Whether you want to freshen up your space or bring a little comfort to your mood, these blends have what you need. No matter which you diffuse first, you will love them!

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

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

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

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

Happy diffusing!!

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.

Raindrop Technique Collection Spotlight - March 2024

Raindrop Technique Collection

The Raindrop Technique Collection is one of Young Living's most popular collections, and for good reason! This curated set of essential oils is a powerful tool for promoting health, wellness and vitality – both proactively and for acute needs since the oils included can be incredible tools for healing!

Raindrop Collection at a Glance

  • Relaxing, rejuvenating, and refreshing to the body, mind, and spirit
  • Soothes tension and fatigued muscles
  • Supports the immune and digestive systems
  • Helps detox the body's systems
  • Can be a powerful health tool for daily support and for acute needs
  • Includes Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Cypress, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Peppermint, Valor and Aroma Siez essential oils as well as OrthoEase Massage Oil and V-6 Carrier Oil Complex
Young Living's proprietary Raindrop Technique bodywork combines powerful essential oils with multiple modalities of healing. Raindrop includes unique, targeted massage and energy approaches with pure essential oils for a deeply harmonizing, rejuvenating, and relaxing experience that supports overall health. The Raindrop method is a revolutionary means of nurturing harmony within the body—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Background

The Raindrop Technique was developed by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young in 1989 as a unique practice based on methods that have been used for centuries to rejuvenate the body and mind. Inspired by the Lakota Native American tradition of observing the northern lights while inhaling the affirming aroma of nearby conifer trees, the Raindrop Technique helps bring balance and harmony to the body by combining targeted massage and essential oils with specific health properties. These oils are well known for their ability to support the body's natural response to inflammation and pathogens, to soothe the respiratory system, support immunity and ease muscle tension.

Raindrop Massage

During a Raindrop massage, the oils are dispensed onto the back like drops of rain, from about 6 inches above. As they are dropped onto the skin along the spine, the oils are lightly feathered up along the vertebrae and out along the muscles from the base of the spine to the neck. Because of the large amount of nerve endings along the spine, the oils continue to work for several days after application.

Start by applying Valor to the soles of the feet and massaging in gently. Then, apply the oils individually, starting at the base of the spine and feathering each one upward and outward before applying the next one. Apply 3-5 drops of each oil in this order: Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Cypress, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Aroma Siez, Peppermint, and Valor. 

For more detailed instructions on how to perform a Raindrop Massage, watch this video from the Young Living YouTube channel.

Key Constituents
*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting propertiesSome studies on the constituents in these oils have suggested the following:

  • Carvacrol - this constituent provides incredible benefits including immune health (overall and digestive), antioxidants, and may support the body's ability to heal.
  • Thymol - contains cleansing properties, antioxidants and supports the body during times of inflammation.
  • Alpha-pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown alpha-pinene to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind
  • Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
Raindrop & Emotions

Because our bodies are intricately designed, we cannot separate the physical from the emotional, and Raindrop can be a powerful emotional tool as well! When we begin to fall below the wellness line it affects us physically, yes, but also spiritually, emotionally, mentally – which means that supporting our physical bodies also helps support our emotions.

Whether it is muscular, from an immune system need or something else, physical pain and stress on the body also affects the emotions. Massage can be a wonderful tool for relieving this, and adding in the powerful properties of the Raindrop oils takes the healing even further! 

The Raindrop Collection can help to promote physical health within the body and also helps to lift the spirit, reduce stress and calm the mind. The herbaceous scents of these oils are so soothing! 

Product Options

The Raindrop Technique Essential Oil Collection is one of Young Living's most popular collections, and for good reason! We have seen what an amazing health tool this technique and these oils can be. You can purchase the Raindrop Technique collection at a discount or order any of the items individually. The Raindrop Technique Essential Oil Collection includes nine 5 ml bottles of Young Living essential oils and two bottles of Young Living premium massage oils:

Daily Habits with Raindrop Oils

The Raindrop oils are incredible health tools for everyone in the family! For younger children (under 6), remember to dilute more and leave out Wintergreen. You can add Lavender to the mix as well! 
Make the Raindrop Massage Technique a part of your health routine! Some choose to have a spouse or partner massage these oils onto their spine weekly, every few days, or even every day.

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

DetoxZyme Supplement

Freshen up from the inside out with this daily enzyme supplement that gently detoxes the system. There is so much in our daily life that can weigh down our systems, and DetoxZyme helps our bodies process it out so we can get the most out of our nutrition and keep functioning well!

So much more to read about this supplement on the DetoxZyme Supplement Spotlight blog post. You can find more about other incredible, oil-infused supplements from Young Living, check out this Young Living Oil-Infused Supplement blog post.

Charcoal Mask

When you're pampering and detoxing your skin with a mask, the last thing you should have to worry about is harsh, synthetic ingredients!! Made with Tahitian volcanic black sand to gently exfoliate for softer, glowing skin, activated charcoal and a blend of ethically sourced kaolin clays, this mask will lift dirt and oil, purify pores, detox skin, and help restore the appearance of an even skin tone.

For oily, combination, and normal skin - Cleanse face with a gentle, non-irritating cleanser; then apply a thin layer of the mask to clean face and allow the mask to harden for 5–20 minutes. Once the mask has changed color and is hard, rinse with warm water to remove. Avoid the eye area, nostrils, and lips. Follow with the rest of your skin care routine, including moisturizer to rehydrate. Use 1–3 times per week.

For dry and sensitive skin - Apply a thin layer of the mask to a clean face and allow the mask to harden for 5–10 minutes. Once the mask has changed color and is hard, rinse with warm water to remove. Avoid the eye area, nostrils, and lips. Your skin will likely feel dry after rinsing, so promptly follow with the rest of your skin care routine, including moisturizer to rehydrate. Use as needed or as a spot treatment.

Create a skincare and true self-care ritual:
  • Add a calming blend to your diffuse (Lavender, Tangerine + Patchouli is a great one!)
  • Turn on a gentle fan or space heater to make the environment comfortable.
  • Take time to wash your face, then apply the Charcoal Mask.
  • As it sits, brush and floss your teeth (10/10 recommend Thieves AromaBright Toothpaste and Dental Floss), apply some Lavender Hand & Body Lotion, or some CBD Muscle Rub to the tense areas of your neck and shoulders, drink some water, and take your Life 9 Probiotic.
  • Use warm water to remove the mask, then apply a moisturizer like CBD Beauty Boost or BLOOM or your desired moisturizer.
  • Finish with lip balm and your favorite sleep roller (Tranquil is a fan fave!).

Bergamot Essential Oil

Bergamot is a household staple oil for so many things! The crisp, citrusy aroma is uplifting and harmonizing, and it makes a wonderful addition to DIYs and diffuser blends. This oil is one we love to have around!

    Step 2 - Let cool in the fridge for 30–45 minutes or until the mixture is no longer clear. It should have a soft texture. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the product for about 2–3 minutes or until it looks like foam and forms peaks. Store in a glass jar at room temperature.

Safe Solutions for your Sex Life

Unfortunately both conventional and organic lubricants contain ingredients that can cause harm long after their use. These ingredients are toxic to vaginal tissue and disrupt the sensitive vagnial microbiome (balance of microorganisms that naturally inhabit the vagina).  Exposure to these ingredients can lead to discomfort, irritation, and increased risk of infection - even from short term exposure. Some lubricant ingredients also have the potential to cause chronic health issues including cancer and reproductive problems from repeated exposure.

  • Black Spruce - Black Spruce is like a walk through an evergreen forest on a crisp, cool day – gentle and welcoming, calming and grounding. This oil can be used during meditation or prayer to enhance your practice and inspire spiritual connection.
  • Sage - Traditionally used in clearing rituals, Sage essential oil has a bold, herbaceous aroma that can be used aromatically for this same purpose. This herbaceous oil is calming and soothing to the mind and emotions, and pairs well with citrus oils to round out the overall aroma.
  • Geranium - Geranium is a wonderful companion for anxiety, stress, and even grief. It is calming and soothing to the spirit, but also uplifting to the emotions. Geranium is helpful in times of acute stress (a favorite for postpartum mamas!) or in times of grief.
  • Rose - Rose is a high frequency oil which helps regulate the mood and emotions and provides an uplifting, inspiring aroma. It is one of the most valuable oils, and adds even more mood support to this blend.

Winter Spa Diffuser Blends - Jan 2024

Winter Spa Diffuser Blends

There is something fundamentally refreshing about a new year. It's a time to rest, to renew, to sit and enjoy the slowness of winter while holding space for our dreams, our needs and our desires. 

Winter is a time to reflect on what we want to continue giving energy to and what we want to gratefully release. During this time let's make room for true self-care everyday with journaling, meditation, and a spa-like experience right in the comfort of your home.

This collection of diffuser blends features some of our favorite winter oils - Lavender, Lemon, Raven, Frankincense, Rosemary and more. These are the blends we are reaching for right now as we extend our winter hibernation, reflect on the year past, set personal and health goals for the future, and refresh and renew our bodies and spirits as we look forward to the year ahead with expectant hope. 

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

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

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

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

Happy diffusing!!

Deep Relief Roll-on Spotlight - Dec 2023

Deep Relief Roll-on Spotlight


Say hello to our go-to blend for relieving anything that is tired or sore - Deep Relief! This pre-diluted roll-on is soothing, cooling and comforting and so easy to use! This blend features Wintergreen, containing methyl salicylate, and Peppermint, containing menthol, both of which create a cooling, soothing sensation when applied to your skin. It is our absolute favorite for anything that needs relief!

Just a Drop of Deep Relief

  • Calming and soothing for fatigued muscles after physical activity
  • Pre-diluted so you can just open and apply
  • Comes as a roll-on so you can easily apply wherever you need it
  • Provides a cooling sensation when applied to shoulders, neck, and head
  • Helps release tension in the neck and shoulders
  • Has a refreshing and stimulating aroma that soothes stress and tension
The essential oils in Deep Relief work so well when it comes to relieving tension and discomfort in the body. But, they 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. This is a huge win!

Key Ingredients
All nine essential oils in Deep Relief were carefully selected to create this soothing oil's invigorating benefits!

  • Peppermint - This cooling oil's main constituent is menthol, which is soothing and highly effective at penetrating through the skin, allowing the essential oils to reach the areas of need. Peppermint is also invigorating when you're feeling stress and tension.
  • Lemon - High in the immune-supporting constituent limonene, Lemon is cooling to the mind and body.
  • Grand Fir - Tree oils are soothing to both the mind and body, especially in the presence of inflammation. Grand fir supports the body's natural response to pain and injury, so they are great for soothing tired muscles.
  • Clove - This oil is a powerful antioxidant that helps the body during pain, provides relief to joints and muscles, and also supports the immune system!
  • Copaiba - Copaiba is the main fireman, putting out all the fires and soothing the body through times of inflammation and injury. This oil is so calming and relaxing to the body and is one of our favorites even for little ones.
  • Wintergreen - High in natural salicylates, Wintergreen supports the body's response to injury and inflammation, supports pain reduction, and soothes tired and sore joints and muscles.
  • Helichrysum - This oil is a powerhouse. It supports the body through inflammation, muscle spasms and pain, soothes and calms body and mind, and helps the body's natural regeneration processes.
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 
  • Limonene, Eugenol, and Beta caryophyllene 
Deep Relief & 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 Deep Relief. It is amazing for physical relief, muscle soreness, and a 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 Deep Relief can be a great way to start releasing some of that deep pain and/or exhaustion.

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
