This exclusive collection embodies 30 years of dedication, innovation, and pioneering. With six 5 mL bottles showcasing a different label and a different point in YL history, these oils serve as cherished mementos of the transformative strides this company has made for people and the planet.

Just a Drop of Lavender

  • A rare collector's item to display your pride as part of the YL community
  • Sweet, calming, floral scent helps create a restful environment
  • Can be used to cleanse, hydrate, or soothe the skin after a day in the sun
  • Calms and relaxes the mind and body
  • Soothes seasonal respiratory needs
  • Creates a tranquil environment when diffused or applied topically
  • May help ease occasional nervous tension and improve sleep quality for occasional sleeplessness
For the Love of Lavender

Lavender is reminiscent of a wonderful grandmother. Soft and huggable, gentle, smells like flowers, calming, and is the one you want around if you are sad, tired, or need comforting. She has experience and wisdom and seems to be able to fix every problem. She is soft-spoken and makes you feel more rested the moment she's around. And she seems to have that perfect knack with any baby.

Unfortunately, over the years, many "lavender" scented items became filled with synthetics and fillers which actually irritated our airways and lost all of their benefits. People even started giving lavender a bad reputation as being unsafe because of all the synthetic, chemical-laden products that had been used bearing its name. There is more lavender oil sold than grown in the world which doesn't really add up right.

But, Young Living. Young Living began growing and distilling its own lavender to ensure a high quality essential oil, making sure that we have the real thing in our homes. Many Young Living customers have planted and harvested YL Lavender themselves in Idaho and Utah! I mean, who wants a fake grandmother? Little Red Riding Hood can tell you that is NOT a good plan.

Today we use our Young Living Lavender in many similar ways. In our lotions, bath products, sleep roll-ons, diffusers, and on our precious babies. It is a gentle oil with a calming effect on everything from our respiratory systems, to our skin, to our emotions. So when you have a problem and you want something to be comforted, whether it's your irritated nose, your foot, or your baby, remember The Grandmother of all oils and give her a try.

Daily Habits with Lavender

Lavender is such a lovely, versatile oil that there are many ways we can use it on a daily basis - from skincare to relaxation to health to kids!

Add Lavender to your relaxation routine…

  • Unwind in the evening with a calming, Lavender-infused neck or back massage. Feeling tense? Add a little Peppermint and Frankincense!
  • Use Lavender as part of a bedtime routine by rubbing it on the bottoms of your feet and diffusing it next to your bed.
  • Help little ones calm down for bedtime with gentle Lavender massage. Mix 1 tbsp carrier oil with 5 drops Lavender and gently massage legs, arms and back.
  • Add 10 drops of Lavender to 1 cup of magnesium flakes or epsom salt to a bath to create a relaxing environment. We also love adding Peace & Calming or Frankincense to the mix!
Add Lavender to your wellness routine…

Reach for Lavender to release tension. Head On Roller: 
  • 20 drops Peppermint, Copaiba, & Lavender, 10 drops Frankincense. 
  • Fill with V-6 carrier or carrier oil of choice and roll over temples, across the forehead, on the back of the neck and shoulders. 
Use Lavender to support the airways when air quality is less than ideal:
  • Seasons Change Roller Blend - 15 drops each Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Tea Tree, & Copaiba, then fill with carrier. Roll over the chest, wrists, just below the nostrils. This also makes a great combination for an epsom salt bath or a diffuser blend!
  • Add 5 drops each Lavender & Copaiba to 1 cup fine grain sea salt or organic salt and mineral solution and mix well. To use, dilute 1 tsp of mixture with 8-12 oz distilled water to make a DIY nasal rinse solution for use in a netipot. 
  • Use a drop of Lavender Vitality under the tongue or swiped on the inside of the cheek. 
Use Lavender to support skin needs…

Make an “Owie” spray or cream (great for kiddos!):
  • 2 tbsp solid coconut oil (for a cream) or fractionated coconut oil (for a spray)
  • 15 drops each Lavender, Frankincense, & Copaiba
  • Optional: 10 drops Tea Tree for purifying needs
  • Small glass jar or 2 oz glass spray bottle 
  • Apply to needed area frequently to support natural healing

  • Apply Lavender diluted with coconut oil to skin after touching something hot.
  • Add Lavender to your moisturizer for oily skin needs or apply it with a cotton ball to blemishes or the t-zone as needed.
  • Make a dry scalp mask with ¼ cup organic avocado oil, 10 drops each Lavender & Tea Tree essential oil. Apply to dry spots of scalp and let sit for 15 minutes before rinsing and washing as usual. Use once a week. 
Rub lavender and coconut oil on the skin after time in the sun or make an after-sun spray or balm!
  • ¼ cup solid coconut oil (or liquid carrier for a spray)
  • 10 drops Peppermint essential oil
  • 20 drops Lavender essential oil
  • Optional: 15 drops Tea Tree essential oil for extra red/hot skin
  • Small glass jar or 2 oz glass spray bottle 
Diffuser Blends with Lavender

Lavender's floral aroma is distinctive and unique, yet it mixes well with other fragrances too. Blend Lavender with other florals, and its clean, simple scent will shine. Mix it with spectacular spices or whimsical woods to soften sharp smells. Add a touch of romance to citrus perfumes or a hint of sweetness to herby aromas.

  • Sweet Dreams - 4 drops Northern Lights Black Spruce, 3 drops Tangerine, 3 drops Lavender
  • Sunkissed - 3 drops each Tangerine, Grapefruit, Lime, & Lavender
  • Coastal Oasis - 3 drops each Lavender, Eucalyptus Radiata, & Lime
  • Friendsgiving - 3 drops Patchouli, 2 drops Cinnamon Bark, 2 drops Lavender, 1 drop Geranium

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)

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.

The LunaMist Diffuser features a warm white light option that can be used as a nightlight if desired. It may also be visible during the day depending on how directly light is shining on the light sensor.

The LunaMist Diffuser has three misting options. The diffuser will turn off once the chosen run time has elapsed, not when the bottle runs out of oil.
  • Low (L) - Diffuses for 3 minutes at start-up and then 1 minute every 5 minutes
  • Medium (M) - Diffuses for 5 minutes at start-up and then 2 minutes every 4 minutes
  • High (H) - Diffuses for 7 minutes at start-up and then 3 minutes every 3 minutes
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 LunaMist Plug-In Diffuser will work manually as well!

Directions for Use

  • Plug it into any outlet in your home, connect to the AromaConnect app for enhanced control, or use it manually for quick and easy diffusion.
  • When inserting the nozzle into the device, please line up the arrow on the nozzle head with the arrow on the device. Then push the nozzle down. It should click into place. Please do not force the nozzle. If the nozzle is not clicking into place easily, please remove the nozzle and realign the arrows to try again.
  • Ideal for small spaces like living spaces, offices, home gyms, bedrooms, or any area where you want a welcoming ambiance.
  • For best results, use low-viscosity oils such as Lavender and Orange, other citrus oils and blends, or Young Living Stress Away blend.
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 LunaMist Plug-In 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.

Super Magnesium Spotlight - Convention 2024

Super Magnesium Spotlight

image
Did you know that magnesium is a core building block for your health? It is involved in over 300 processes within the body! And almost all of us aren't getting enough of it. BUT a good quality, sustainably sourced magnesium supplement that is easily absorbed by the body is almost impossible to find… but we have it! 

Say hello to Super Magnesium! Super Magnesium gets the job done with better distribution, higher available levels of magnesium, and fewer capsules.

Super Magnesium at a Glance

  • Supports a restful night's sleep and a calm nervous system
  • Promotes healthy organ function
  • Reduces oxidative stress on the body as a whole
  • Contains melon juice concentrate to increase magnesium efficiency in the body (sends the magnesium where it needs to go!) and reduce oxidative stress and fatigue
  • Decreases physical fatigue while supporting an active lifestyle and normal energy levels
  • Promotes overall well-being when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle
  • Vegan and vegetarian formula is gluten, tree nut, sesame, corn and soy-free
This mighty supplement is sustainably sourced from seawater with a variety of trace minerals and formulated with melon juice concentrate, which reduces oxidative stress and increases magnesium efficiency in the body. Super Magnesium combines the power of bioavailable (read: easily absorbable) magnesium from the Irish Sea with the power of melon juice concentrate and Bergamot essential oil to maintain healthy magnesium levels in the body all day long. In short, this supplement helps your body win! 

Background

Just as sleep is a core foundation for your health, magnesium is a core supplement your body needs to stay healthy! Did you know that magnesium naturally helps your body produce the sleep hormone melatonin? The two Ms go hand in hand!

Sleep is a critical part of our health. Getting enough sleep helps reduce inflammation, make it easier to maintain a healthy weight, and improves everything from mental health to memory. Research suggests that quality sleep is vital for clearing toxins, regulating mood, and maintaining your immune system. Sleep is an incredibly important and often overlooked part of our health routine!

As more research has been done on sleep, we have learned that our bodies have a pseudo-lymphatic system that is designed specifically to clear waste and toxins from the brain while also replenishing essential neurotransmitters (dopamine and serotonin, anyone??). It's the glymphatic system, and guess when it is the most active and doing the most work to?? While you sleep!

In fact, many things affect this system – sleep position, alcohol intake, exercise, omega-3 consumption, intermittent fasting and chronic stress all affect the lymphatic system's clearance of waste and toxins.

So it just makes sense to add Super Magnesium to your daily supplement line-up!

Key Ingredients

  • Melon Juice Concentrate - protects magnesium levels within the body and distributes magnesium to areas of higher metabolic need; increases magnesium efficiency within the body; reduces oxidative stress and fatigue; sustainably sourced from fruit fields in France
  • Magnesium (hydroxide & citrate) - helps calm the nervous system and promotes restful sleep; involved in over 300 bodily processes; essential to energy, vitality, and overall health and wellness
  • Bergamot essential oil - uplifts the emotions and senses and helps ease anxious feelings; helps lower cortisol levels and soothes the nervous system's fight/flight/freeze response; contains antioxidants that help support a healthy lifestyle; helps support the cardiovascular system
Magnesium Salts

While there are many forms of magnesium out there (often called magnesium salts), Super Magnesium intentionally features magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate for several reasons. Magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate are considered highly bioavailable -- they are easily absorbed and utilized within the body. Combining these magnesium salts with melon juice concentrate increases the efficiency of these two types of magnesium and their ability to target areas of the body where they're needed most!

The type of magnesium ingested is actually not as critical as many would have you believe. When you ingest magnesium in any form, it ends up in the stomach first. The stomach  is a very acidic environment and the magnesium salt breaks down into  magnesium ions. These ions are  is what is absorbed.

Young Living's goal in choosing a magnesium salt was to find the cleanest, most natural source possible with no contaminants. That led them to magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate sourced from natural sea water.

Most research studies show magnesium's impact requires a dose of around 300 mg. The magnesium sources chosen for this supplement allow for a full 300 mg dose of magnesium in three small “0” size capsules. This is definitely a difference between Super Magnesium and many other options! 

WHY do these types of magnesium fit into smaller capsules? Let's look at magnesium glycinate. A mere 8% of magnesium glycinate is actual magnesium. We'd need three times as much of that kind of magnesium to achieve the same benefit—you'd have to take nine capsules of it!

Also, the magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate used in Super Magnesium are sourced from the clean waters of the Irish Sea. This provides a sustainable source of magnesium and minimizes the carbon footprint of production.

How to Use Super Magnesium

  • From a.m. to p.m., Super Magnesium supplement supports healthy energy levels, a calm nervous system, and a restful night's sleep as you begin to wind down. If you are on the lookout for one supplement that does it all, make it Super Magnesium!
  • Take 1 capsule 3 times daily; can be taken with or without food. Safe for ages 14 and above.
  • Looking for a dynamic duo? Pair Deep Night Essence with daily Super Magnesium!
Simplify Your Sleep Routine

Looking for better rest with minimal prep? Three products, amazing sleep.

The 5 Minute Sleep Routine
  • Take Super Magnesium three times a day
  • Take 2 Deep Night Essence capsules 30 minutes before bedtime. 
  • Diffuse your favorite sleep-inducing oil (we recommend Peace & Calming, Cedarwood or Mastrante!). 
  • Then say hello to the deep zzzz's you need!
30 Minutes to Better Rest Routine
  • Take 2 Deep Night Essence capsules 30 minutes before bedtime. If possible, turn off all screens at this time! (1 minute)
  • Stretch and/or meditate and take Super Magnesium capsules to help calm the nervous system. (6 minutes)
  • Lower your body temperature to prepare for rest. (We sleep better when our bodies are cool!) Take a warm bath to boost blood flow to the skin and increase heat loss (bonus for using calming oils like Lavender, Frankincense, or Peace & Calming or the Stress Away Bath Bombs). (20 minutes)
  • Fire up your diffuser with calming scents. (3 minutes)
  • Drop into bed and rest well, then wake up ready to tackle the day!
And when you're ready to dive into more healthy sleep habits, grab some NingXia Red to add to your supplement routine (a delicious supplement clinically proven to give you better rest, more energy, and better mental clarity!) and an Aroma Connect Wake Up Light Diffuser!

Deep Night Essence Spotlight - Convention 2024

Deep Night Essence

image
Sleep is a vital part of our health, so when sleep is elusive or hard to maintain things go downhill quickly! As science uncovers more about the importance of sleep, we need a support option we can use long-term without worrying about side effects and drowsiness. Enter Deep Night Essence! This non-drowsy, melatonin-free sleep supplement can help you get the sleep you need!

Deep Night Essence at a Glance
  • Delivers nightly, melatonin-free support for a more restful sleep
  • Designed for daily, long-term use
  • Helps ease stress and promote relaxation without causing drowsiness
  • Contains a blend of spearmint and green tea extracts, which support concentration, cognitive function, and visual recall
  • Promotes overall well-being when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle
  • Formula is vegetarian and vegan-friendly and free from corn, soy, tree nuts, and sesame
Background

Sleep is a critical part of our health, both for everyday wellness and when acute needs arise. Getting enough sleep helps reduce inflammation, make it easier to maintain a healthy weight, and improves everything from mental health to memory. Research suggests that quality sleep is vital for clearing toxins, regulating mood, and maintaining your immune system. Sleep is an incredibly important and often overlooked part of our health routine!

As more research has been done on sleep, we have learned that our bodies have a pseudo-lymphatic system that is designed specifically to clear waste and toxins from the brain while also replenishing essential neurotransmitters (dopamine and serotonin, anyone??).

In fact, many things affect this system – sleep position, alcohol intake, exercise, omega-3 consumption, intermittent fasting and chronic stress all affect the lymphatic system's clearance of waste and toxins.

Deep Night Essence helps us to support this innate system's work and natural sleep cycles, so you can wake up ready to tackle the day!

Key Ingredients

  • Spearmint and green tea extracts - clinically proven to promote more restful sleep (twice the restful sleep versus without it); improves concentration, normal cognitive function, visual recall, and processing (aka brain power!) by five times – up to 60%!
  • Holy basil extract - known for calming properties; supports the body's response to stress and supports the immune system
  • Lemon balm extract (also known as Melissa) - supports the body's natural response to stress and the immune system
  • Lavender essential oil - supports sleep quality during restlessness; calming and relaxing to the mind and body
  • Spearmint essential oil - supports overall wellness
Why Melotnin-Free

Melatonin is typically the first thing we reach for when we need some help with sleep, and while it is a wonderful option, it is not intended for long term use. 

Melatonin is naturally produced in our body and is a vital part of our circadian rhythm. It's released to signal to the body that it's time to go to sleep, but it also impacts so much more – body temperature, blood sugar, and blood vessel tone (how constricted or relaxed the blood vessels are at any time). It is actually a really important hormone for our health!

BUT...

We want our bodies to continue making their own melatonin. And when we continue with melatonin long-term, our bodies will begin to make less of it – which is not what we want! So while a good short-term support tool, melatonin isn't intended for long-term use. Which is why Deep Night Essence uses a clean herbal formula for a complex job!

How to Use Deep Night Essence

Deep Night Essence offers a nature-based, long-term solution to support healthy sleep habits over time. Unlike short-term sleep aids, it won't cause any drowsy side effects the next day!

  • Take 2 capsules nightly.
  • Looking for a dynamic duo? Pair Deep Night Essence with daily Super Magnesium!

This diffuser is our favorite for creating healthy sleep routines. You can choose two oils to diffuse, combine the wonderful effects of aromatherapy, light, sound, and an alarm.

All Things Diffusing - June 2024

All Things Diffusing

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. This is hands down one of the easiest health habits you can start! And we have you covered right here with everything you need to know.

Diffusing at a Glance

  • Makes your space smell amazing
  • An easy habit for anyone to start at any time
  • A great alternative to scented candles and wall plugs (which are full of toxins!)
  • Benefits many needs - mood, respiration, focus, immunity, cleansing, sleep and more
  • Supports overall health and a low-tox lifestyle
There are three major ways to use essential oils - topically (on the skin), ingesting, and aromatically (diffusing, inhaling from the bottle). We often choose the method of diffusing (or inhaling) over topical or ingesting because it is extremely effective for:
  • Emotions
  • Mental Support
  • Respiratory Support
  • Rest & Relaxation
Cliff notes version: Breathing our oils has the potential to make us happier, healthier, and more focused! 

What & How of Diffusing

All you need to start diffusing essential oils is a diffuser, a little bit of water, and some Young Living essential oils!

Each diffuser will have a fill line on the inside, so just add water to the fill line, add your oils of choice, replace the lid and turn on the diffuser. Instant transformation! You can place a diffuser virtually anywhere - your home, office, even your car! 

  • Feeling a little stressed with early morning traffic? Try Peppermint + Stress Away in an USB diffuser that sits right in your vehicle cup holder.
  • Need some help calming your thoughts at bedtime? Lavender, Cedarwood & Vetiver are your friends. (Put your diffuser right by your bed!).
  • Feeling a little stuffy? Diffuse Raven, Lemon and Frankincense (get extra oomph for diffusing while you shower - oils + steam!).
  • Want a festive atmosphere without the toxins in wall plugs and candles? Fire up that diffuser with a seasonal scent! Cinnamon bark, Clove and Orange are great in the fall/winter, and we love Lavender, Lemon and Lime in the spring/summer!
Quick tip! If you don't have a diffuser or have access to a wall plug/USB outlet, grab a tissue, a wooden clothes pin, or some cotton balls and drop a few drops of oil onto them. Place them in an air vent or under a seat in a vehicle or anywhere you can to create a passive diffuser! 

Benefits of Aromatherapy

The practice of aromatherapy has been around for centuries and has become an incredibly popular area of study in the last decade. There are countless studies on PubMed about the ways that essential oils can positively impact health areas such as immunity, mood and emotions, sleep, racing thoughts, focus and much more.

Does this sound too good to be true? Are you wondering how breathing in some Lavender can change your mood??

Aromatherapy (breathing in essential oils) sends messages to our brain through our cranial nerves. The olfactory (sense of smell!) cranial nerve ends in the brain right next to the organs of the limbic system - the system that controls mood, emotions and memory. So inhaling oils triggers this area, helping us to rest, reset, and recharge. And diffusing is a great way to get the benefit of these oils for more than one individual! You can play with combinations to find the ones you love and that are the most beneficial to you!

Diffusing FAQs

How long can I diffuse at a time?

We have diffusers going in our home pretty much 24/7! In large, open areas we don't keep track of how long we diffuse. At bedtime we use the intermittent setting on our diffusers and let them run all night long! And if we are diffusing in a room where doors are closed (ie kids bedrooms), we simply add less oils and use the intermittent setting. Don't overthink it!

How many drops do I use?

That will depend on your diffuser! Larger ones that cover more area will require more drops. Here are a few of our favorite diffusers available from Young Living:

Do I need to clean my diffuser?

  • We do recommend cleaning your diffuser for best results! For the Aria, YL recommends you wipe down after every use with a clean, dry cloth and, as needed, wash the glass bowl either by hand or in the dishwasher. For other diffusers, YL recommends: 
  • Clean the ultrasonic plate and lid after each use.
  • If essential oil begins to build up on the ultrasonic plate, gently wipe it off using a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
  • If essential oil begins to build up on the lid, gently wipe it off using mild soap and water only.
Diffuser Settings

Did you know you can turn the lights on and off and change the colors on the diffusers? Or that the kids' diffusers can also double as a sound machine? Depending on the diffuser simply press the button on the left to cycle through the light options.

Most diffusers also have 1 or 2 intermittent modes, which can be changed by pressing the button on the right to cycle through the options! This is one of our favorite ways to have oils diffusing while we sleep.

Check out the manual that comes with your diffuser or the product links above for specific info on each one!

ImmuPro Spotlight - August 2023

ImmuPro Spotlight

ImmuPro is one of our favorite ways to support the immune system! These chewable tablets contain Ningxia wolfberry (a potent antioxidant), zinc, and selenium along with melatonin for restorative rest when you aren't at your best. Grab these tablets when you feel your defenses going down - or anytime you want a little boost!

Immupro at a Glance
  • Provides immune system support through a mixture of Ningxia wolfberry polysaccharides and a mushroom powder blend
  • Contains Orange essential oil, which is high in limonene
  • Contains chelated minerals, including zinc and selenium, which emerging science suggests are more easily absorbed by the body for proper immune function
  • Delivers melatonin, which encourages restful sleep by promoting the body's natural sleep rhythm
  • A convenient way to support the immune system and healthy sleep
Background

ImmuPro tablets are jam packed with some of the most powerful plant-powered immune stimulants around – the wolfberry, organic reishi, maitake, and agaricus blazei mushroom powders, zinc, and selenium. These ingredients deliver powerful antioxidant support to help reduce the damaging effects of oxidative stress from free radicals. Trace minerals like zinc, copper and selenium are essential for proper immune function. Plus, ImmuPro tablets include melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone that our bodies already produce that is great for immune support and sleep. Melatonin levels steadily decrease with age and in times of stress and is important as it encourages restful sleep by promoting the body's natural sleep rhythm.

Like all of Young Living's supplements, ImmuPro is enhanced with essential oils to help the body to assimilate and absorb the nutrients in the supplements, which is so amazing! ImmuPro contains Orange essential oil, which is rich in limonene. Limonene has been extensively studied for all of its health benefits from immune support to relaxation.

Key Ingredients
  • NingXia Wolfberry - packed with antioxidants and micronutrients; helps repair and prevent oxidative damage from free radicals
  • Reishi, Maitke, Mycelia mushroom powders - provide immune system support, help with memory, focus, brain health & also supports gut health (a key component of a healthy immune system!)
  • Melatonin - a naturally occurring hormone that the body makes to promote restful sleep, which is essential for immune function - especially in the presence of immune invaders
  • Orange essential oil - high in antioxidants and limonene, which support the immune system, bolster the natural immune response, and repair and prevent free radical damage
How to Use ImmuPro
  • Take 1 chewable tablet once daily at bedtime.
  • Use when you feel that telltale twinge in the back of your throat or any time you start to feel your defenses needing reinforcements.
  • Use before and during travel to support the immune system (airplanes, international travel, etc.)

CBD Calm Roll-On Spotlight - August 2023

CBD Calm Roll-On Spotlight

Topical use of CBD is another great option! There are so many studies on how much our skin absorbs, and there are even drug delivery mechanisms designed to exploit this.

Some studies state that 60% of what you put on your skin is absorbed into your bloodstream within 26 seconds. We want to be aware of the things that are bad for our health, but we can also utilize this for things we WANT to absorb -- like CBD and essential oils!

The Calm CBD blend is infused with essential oils like lavender, frankincense, ylang ylang and vetiver that help create a peaceful environment, relax and quiet your mind, and wind down before bed.

  • Mentioned in one of the oldest known medical records
Lavender Essential Oil: 
  • Calming + relaxing to the body, mind and emotions
  • Reduces mental stress and promotes relaxation
  • One of the few essential oils listed in the British Pharmacopoeia 
Orange Essential Oil: 
  • Creates a sense of peace and harmony
  • Uplifting and relaxing
  • High in limonene 
Vetiver Essential Oil: 
  • Used since ancient times for its anti-inflammatory properties
