- 4 oz glass dropper bottle
- Castor Oil (see note below)
- 25 drops Nutmeg
- 20 drops Clove
- 20 drops Frankincense
- 20 drops Rosemary
- Nutmeg - THE essential oil for adrenal support, Nutmeg helps process and balance feelings of Exhaustion - which makes perfect sense. When our stress response system is on overdrive, how could we feel anything BUT exhausted? And when we are exhausted we are more prone to injury and illness.
- Frankincense - is a versatile oil that supports immunity, helps the body process inflammation and works as an antioxidant in the body. Frankincense has long been used for its powerful health-supporting properties, and has been used 'to treat every conceivable ill known to man.'
- Clove - THE Essential oil for powerful antioxidant support. Clove has an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value of 1,078,700 (read: Clove is able to absorb and mitigate a LOT of free radicals. It's ability to do so is basically OFF the charts.) Why antioxidants? Because they help boost immunity and allow the body to repair cellular damage caused by the environment, injury and - you guessed it - stress!
- Rosemary - one of the components of the 'Four Thieves Vinegar' and the Thieves essential oil blend. Rosemary has wonderful cleansing properties, supports the liver and helps support healthy blood pressure levels, which all connect to the adrenals through the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-axis).

February's Ditch & Switch
Lubricants for Massage Oils
When it comes to physical intimacy, there are many things that can help or hinders in the process. One simple way we can enhance our experience with products that don't harm our health is with Young LIving's massage oils. For use as a personal lubricant, Relaxation Massage Oil or Sensation Massage Oil would be a great choice.
As the gatekeepers of our homes we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products and create healthy habits for ourselves and families. Join us this month as we make a simple swap with a bit impact. Ditch personal lubricants and use Young Living massage oils instead.
- Geranium essential oils is commonly used in perfumes for its uplifting aroma, and it can help balance hormones as well.
- Jasmine essential oil helps you develop a broader perspective with its romantic floral aroma - a very feminine aroma that embraces and exults the sacred masculine - and has been revered for centuries as a symbol of love and purity, harmonizing opposites to promote wholeness.
- Ylang Ylang essential oil has a calming aroma that sets the mood for romance and helps enhance emotional connection.
- Lavender helps promote feelings of calm and relaxation
- Ylang Ylang has a calming aroma that sets the mood for romance and helps enhance emotional connection
- Spearmint & Peppermint are energizing and uplifting to the body and mind
- Bergamot & Tangerine promote feelings of calm and connection to others.
- Methylparaben, propylparaben, & ethylparaben - preservative chemicals that can irritate vaginal mucous membranes, contribute to genital rashes, and potentially cause fertility problems and endocrine (hormone) disruption.
- Chlorhexidine gluconate - a disinfectant chemical that can kill strains of lactobacillus, which is a bacterial that is necessary for a healthy microbiome.
- Cyclomethicone, cyclopentasiloxane, & cyclotetrasiloxane - commonly found in silicone-based lubricants, these substances are linked to reproductive harm and uterine cancer in animal studies. Almost no research has ever been conducted to examine the long term impacts of vaginal exposure to these chemicals in women.
- Natural and artificial flavor & fragrance - flavors, fragrances, and aromas can include a mix of chemicals which can cause irritation and allergies.
- And so much more...
- Sensation Massage Oil - a blend of Coriander, Ylang Ylang, Bergamot, Jasmine, and Geranium that is romantic, refreshing and arousing, amplifying the excitement of new heights of self-expression and awareness.
- Relaxation Massage Oil - combines Tangerine, Lavender, Spearmint, Ylang Ylang, Peppermint, Coriander, and Bergamot essential oils for the relaxing, restorative properties.
- Dragon Time Massage Oil - a soothing combination of Fennel, Clary Sage, Marjoram, Lavender, Yarrow, and Jasmine that is perfect for supporting women.
- Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil - tones and nourishes the skin with a blend of Grapefruit, Cypress, Juniper, Cedarwood, and Clary Sage essential oils.
- OrthoEase Massage Oil - a blend of Wintergreen, Peppermint, Juniper, Eucalyptus Globulus, Lemongrass, Marjoram, Thyme, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Vetiver essential oils that warm and soothe fatigued muscles for relief.
- OrthoSport Massage Oil - combines Oregano, Peppermint, Thyme, and Wintergreen to give a cooling sensation when used with a soothing massage, specifically following strenuous physical activity.
- V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex - great to use as a base and add your special blend of essential oils. Suggested oils for an intimate massage oil - Yarrow, Ylang Ylang, and Shutran.
Join us this month as we ditch personal lubricants for Young Living massage oils.

Fragrance chemicals are carbon-based compounds that volatile, or vaporize into the air, which is why we can smell them. They are added to household and personal care products to give them a scent or to mask the odor of other ingredients. Unfortunately, the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by fragrance products can contribute to poor indoor air quality and are associated with a variety of adverse health effects. They are pretty much the last thing you want in a product you are burning for ambiance and aroma.

Vanilla Essential Oil
Vanilla essential oil is such a warm, inviting and happy oil. It has a luxuriously rich, slightly sweet scent that enhances the experience of virtually every other essential oil, both when used topically or aromatically.
Vanilla at a Glance
- Has a warm, rich, slightly sweet aroma
- Can be diffused or applied topically to create a warm and tranquil environment
- Can be applied directly to the skin or added to your favorite hair and body care products
- Blends beautifully with essential oils and carrier oils for diffusion and topical application
- Contains antioxidant properties
- Supports healthy hormone levels
- Supports mood and lifts the spirit
- May help support healthy blood pressure levels
- Support the immune system
- Assists with stress relief and calming the mind
Young Living's Vanilla is not strictly an extract or an absolute, both of which contain mostly alcohol and do not blend well with essential oils. Noticing these flaws in mainstream vanilla extracts and absolutes, the D. Gary Young Research Institute worked to find a vanilla product that would meet the Seed to Seal quality commitment and blend well with our essential oils. The result is a first-of-its-kind extraction method that yields a Vanilla oleoresin in fractioned coconut oil that diffuse and blends beautifully with essential oils. Such a HUGE win for us!
