Rosemary Essential Oil Spotlight
Rosemary has an earthy, sweet, herbaceous scent that is familiar and welcoming, but many people aren't aware that this oil is a powerhouse! Inhaling rosemary can help overcome mental fatigue, improve mental clarity and focus, ease anxiety and enhance analytic ability. Rosemary is a key player in our beloved Thieves blend and has been burned for centuries as incense to ward off sickness. To say we love this oil is an understatement! Just a Drop of Rosemary

BACKGROUND
Native to the Mediterranean and Asia, rosemary derives its name from the Latin words “ros” and “marinus,” or “dew of the sea.” An evergreen shrub in the mint family, Rosemary grows abundantly in rocky coastal regions. Rosemary essential oil has an invigorating aroma that can be used to create an environment conducive to work or study. It is often included in soaps, fragrances, shampoos, and household cleaners and is a key ingredient in the Thieves essential oil blend. Rosemary is highly supportive of the immune, respiratory and cardiovascular systems and is often used to support healthy blood pressure.
Key Constituents

Rosemary & Emotions
Rosemary can be an incredible health tool when it comes to emotional support! Not only does this herbaceous oil help with mental clarity and focus, it is supportive of the immune system as well. And our immune system is highly linked to our emotional state!

When we begin to fall below the wellness line it affects us physically, yes, but also spiritually, emotionally, mentally. The opposite is true as well. When we are feeling the negative side of emotions, our immune systems need some support. Feelings of Vulnerable, Exhausted, Unfocused, Uncertain and Run Down are a great time to grab your Rosemary!
One simple way to help with this… keep your bottle of Rosemary beside the bed. When you wake in the morning feeling sluggish, unwilling to start the day, uncertain of what is ahead, take a deep breath of Rosemary. To promote Clarity, dilute and rub over the throat or over the liver.

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!
Daily Habits with the Golden Touch 1 Collection
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.
Make a steam pot with hot water and a few drops of Raven. Place a towel over your head and breathe deeply to open the airways.
Whip up a DIY Chest Rub:
- ½ cup solid coconut oil
- 10-20 drops Raven or R.C.
- 10 drops Melrose
- Optional: 10 drops Thieves Vitality
Diffuse R.C. and breathe in the clarifying aroma on stuffy indoor days, after school, while sleeping, or while showering.
Add 3–5 drops of Melrose to your daily moisturizer to reduce the appearance of weather-worn skin.
Dilute and apply Melrose to skin that needs some TLC.
Make a Pavement Spray to use before applying a bandage:
- 2 oz spray bottle
- 20 drops Melrose
- Fractionated coconut oil or other liquid carrier oil
Get a boost of immune support during the cold season by taking a few drops of Thieves Vitality in the morning and evening. Add a drop to a mug of hot tea, place Thieves Vitality in an empty capsule with olive oil, or drop it under your tongue as desired.
Support your body's natural flow of energy with help from EndoFlex Vitality. Place a couple drops in an empty capsule and take daily.
Apply EndoFlex over the throat and lower back morning and evening.
Add JuvaFlex Vitality to your morning smoothie to support your daily wellness routine.

Ylang Ylang Spotlight
Meaning flower of flowers, Ylang Ylang essential oil has a sweet, romantic aroma that makes a lovely addition to perfume rollers and diffuser blends. This floral, balancing oil promotes openness and connection, encourages confidence and inspires romance.

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 MaskWhen 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!
Use Bergamot in your household DIYs
Add 20 drops of Bergamot to your Thieves Household Cleaner for a fresh twist.
Add a few drops to Wool dryer balls for crisp laundry.

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.

- Essential oils: Christmas Spirit, Cinnamon Bark, Vanilla, Clove, Believe, Thieves
- Fresh cranberries and cinnamon sticks
Step 1 - Slice your oranges in circles to ¼ to ½ inch in thickness and arrange them on a non-stick surface or parchment paper. Pour 2-3 drops of essential oils on each slice, then set them in a cool oven and turn the temperature onto the lowest setting your oven will allow. (If your oven does not go below 300, set it there and use a wooden spoon to prop the oven open slightly and allow some heat to dissipate.)
Step 2 - Leave the slices in the oven for about 5 hours, then shut the oven off and leave the oranges in there overnight or until completely cool. They will be fairly dry, but will continue to dry out over time. You don't want to over dry them in the oven because they can start to burn!
Step 3 - Once they are dry, string them with some twine, alternating with a few varying sized slices and a cranberry or two, a tied cinnamon stick, whatever you like! Hang them in your home for some delicious smelling holiday cheer!
