Home for the Holidays
Diffuser Blends
It's the time of year when we naturally start to slow down and savor the beauty around us, and these diffuser blends will help set the stage to do just that.
Rich in warm, spicy oils like Cinnamon Bark and Clove, these blends will also help show some love to our immune, adrenal, and respiratory systems (all of which need some TLC this time of year!). The woodsy oils in these blends help calm our minds and bodies and create the coziest holiday home. So fill up your diffuser, and keep it running all season long!
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!!

The holidays are a time for gathering with loved ones, but let's be honest - sometimes that can be an emotional experience. Whether it's stress, family dynamics, or just the hustle and bustle of going here and there, this blend feels like a warm hug in the middle of the chaos.
Christmas Spirit brings the cozy, festive feeling we all want, while Frankincense adds a grounding element so you can feel calm and centered. Lavender softens the edges of tension, and a bit of Bergamot brings a bright, uplifting twist to help ease anxious feelings.

Abundance Spotlight
This rich and spicy oil is designed to help us release fears associated with a poverty mindset. Even when we don't realize it, we have skills, abilities, tools, opportunities, contacts, teachers, and wisdom right at our fingertips. Abundance oil blend (and intentional practices!) can help us to realize this fact and step into those things in front of us!
Abundance at a Glance
- Has a warm, spicy aroma that is stimulating and inspiring
- Can help enhance the mindset of prosperity and plentitude
- Is a wonderful addition to your daily gratitude practice. Pair this oil blend with a daily gratitude journal.
- Pairs well with Harmony, Forgiveness, Joy, Tangerine, Stress Away, Valor and White Angelica essential oils
- A great addition to the Feelings Collection kit.
Background
Abundance essential oil blend features Orange, Frankincense, Patchouli, Clove, Ginger, Myrrh, Cinnamon Bark, and Black Spruce essential oils, which were used by ancient cultures to attract prosperity and magnify joy and peace. Each oil in this blend was chosen for its unique properties!
Key Ingredients
- Orange - high in limonene, which is great for the immune system; uplifting and encouraging to the mind and spirit
- Frankincense - carries historical and biblical significance as a grounding and uplifting aroma
- Patchouli - grounding and helps connect to the inner self
- Myrrh - stimulates the limbic system, the seat of memory; a wonderful oil to use to work on stored emotional trauma or negative thoughts
- Black Spruce - grounding and relaxing and helps to clear the mind.
It is time for us to wake up to the walls we are building between us and freedom because we insist that there is never enough time, money, or us. We choose. We have the same 24 hours anyone else has, our own unique set of gifts that no one else has, and one life to live. Let's not waste a single moment in fear and a spirit of lack.
We can have this spirit of not having enough in our health and wellness as well as in our finances. Always believing that it's not worth it to invest in our health, that we'll never have enough energy, and that it's impossible for us to be "whole" in our health. We are believing falsehoods. We were created for wholeness and our bodies were designed for healing.
As you apply this oil, speak truth over yourself such as:
- "I lack nothing."
- "I have everything I need."
- "I am enough."
Key Constituents
*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties
- Alpha pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown alpha-pinene to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind
- Bornyl acetate - may help calm and focus the mind
Daily Habits with Abundance
Diffuse as you work, read, and contact others.
Dab onto letters, packages, and envelopes you are sending out to business contacts.
Apply to your wrists and over your heart as you pray over your team, your time, and your future in this business.
Put on the edges of your calendar and planner so that every time you are thinking of your time commitments, you are shifting to a viewpoint of abundance and choice.
Drop on a diffuser bracelet in your purse or wallet and stop thinking of money as something in short supply. Money will ALWAYS be there and there will be ways to attain it. TIME? That's the one you guard. Use your time to find ways to pursue freedom and residual income where your money works FOR YOU.
Make a daily perfume or cologne roller:
- Abundance, Tangerine, Hope
- Abundance, Lavender, Frankincense
- Abundance, Vetiver, Bergamot
- Abundance, Vanilla, Lavender

Make a daily Gratitude Roller:
- 10 drops Joy
- 7 drops Orange
- 5 drops Abundance
Top with a carrier oil and roll on liberally + frequently!
Make DIY Oil-Infused Shower Melts
- 1 cup Baking Soda
- 1/2 cup High Quality Epsom Salt
- 30 drops Abundance
- Water (about 2-3 teaspoons)
- Silicone mold
Step 1 - Pour the baking soda and epsom salt into a mixing bowl. Slowly add water, about 2 teaspoons, and mix well. If the mixture is not holding, add another teaspoon of water.
Step 2 - Add essential oil(s) of your choice and mix well. Scoop into silicone molds and let sit overnight. Remove and store in an airtight container.
To use - simply place a shower melt on the floor of the shower near the water but not directly in the stream. Enjoy!

Deep Spectra Frankincense Spotlight
Take your everyday wellness to the next level with DeepSpectra Frankincense2! This Young Living exclusive technology is a unique and brilliant fusion of Frankincense essential oil and frankincense resin compounds. When blended together, these two create a powerhouse wellness tool that supports overall longevity and a healthy immune system!
Just a Drop of Frankincense2
- Combines frankincense essential oil and frankincense resin
- One of a kind product and technology exclusive to Young Living
- Supports general wellness, digestive health, and a healthy immune system
- Has antioxidant properties that help support immunity and vitality
- Supports a healthy inflammatory response
- Features a softly spicy, exotic flavor
DeepSpectra Frankincense2 is more than just another essential oil - it's a revolution in wellness. Meticulously created using a patents-pending DeepSpectra technology, Frankincense2 results from using Frankincense essential oil in an innovative way to extract key therapeutic compounds from frankincense resin. These compounds include boswellic acids, which are renowned for their health benefits like protecting cells and helping lower and even prevent inflammation.
Background
As the industry leader in essential oils and essential oil science, it's no surprise that Young Living has done it again! Meet DeepSpectra Technology – a cutting edge technology that uses distinct characteristics of essential oils to attract additional compounds from the plant. The final product contains an enriched array of organic plant compounds that give us even more incredible benefits from these oils!
DeepSpectra Technology
This patents-pending process is the culmination of decades of research and development. Young Living only uses carefully selected (and often upcycled) plant material that's rich in beneficial compounds. A carefully selected Young Living essential oil is combined with this plant material and used as the extraction fluid.
The extraction is then enhanced by applying an optimal energy source to the mixture. The result is a unique combination of essential oil and extract of even more beneficial compounds of the plant. DeepSpectra technology creates a new era of essential oil extracts.
DeepSpectra Frankincense2 v. Frankincense Essential Oil
DeepSpectra Frankincense2 contains all the benefits of Frankincense essential oil, plus additional beneficial compounds from frankincense resin that are not present in steam or hydro-distilled essential oil. DeepSpectra Frankincense2 extract also has a thicker and stickier consistency than Frankincense essential oil alone.
DeepSpectra Frankincense2 has the characteristic smell of Frankincense oil but with a deeper, richer aroma reminiscent of frankincense resin. And while Frankincense is intended for topical use, diffusing, and ingesting, DeepSpectra Frankincense2 is intended for ingestion only.
Key Constituents
- 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
- Sabinene - a constituent known to enhance the effects of other compounds; helps fight oxidative damage and reduce inflammation

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)

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.

This Wellness Box is full of curated favorites for the animals in our lives! Whether you need acute support for a specific need, daily maintenance for overall health, or want to prevent the bumps in the road, there are so many ways oils can help!
WHAT'S IN THE BOX:
Animal Scents Shampoo
Animal Scents Ointment
Animal Scents Ointment is a protective, soothing salve designed specifically for pets. Infused with cleansing Tea Tree and soothing Myrrh essential oils, this naturally derived, plant-based formula is gentle and safe for everyday use and can be applied anywhere on your pet's body to moisturize and soothe skin and promote healing. The gentle, non-greasy, formula absorbs smoothly and replenishes the skin's natural barrier. (It is also a favorite for soothing human skin needs as well!)
If you need a little more oomph for your pet's situation, you can also layer oils beneath the Animal Scents Ointment. If using oils, simply apply oils prior to application of Animal Scents Ointment. This product is also a crowd favorite for human use because it contains so many wonderful oils that promote natural skin health and healing!
Animal Scents ParaGize Essential Oil BlendAnimal Scents ParaGize was developed to support pets with the settling, grounding properties of Ginger, Anise, and Peppermint essential oils. These oils are our go-tos for any digestive needs in humans, and the same can be said for our pets! This relaxing, quieting blend can be applied to your pet's abdomen or diffused to support your pet with its comforting aroma.
Animal Scents T-Away Essential Oil Blend
So many of our pets experience emotional trauma that can often leave them with debilitating needs. Animal Scents T-Away is our go-to for everything from storm anxiety to more complex emotional issues with our pets.
T-Away contains a combination of Young Living's Trauma Life, Harmony, and Peace & Calming essential oil blends. These blends work together to promote feelings of balance and grounding in your pet, while their aromas mix to help elevate disposition. This blend can be used topically or aromatically to bring about a calm and peaceful environment for your pets' overall well-being.
Apply according to animal size, but in general apply 1 drop behind each ear to calm your pet.
Animal Scents PuriClean Essential Oil Blend
Animal Scents PuriClean is the first step in Young Living's three-part system to support pet recovery from minor scrapes and scratches. This prediluted, essential oil blend refreshes and prepares your pet's skin for mending by cleansing and moisturizing. PuriClean combines the skin-improvement properties of Patchouli, Mountain Savory, and other essential oils so that you can help your pet feel its best.
Animal Scents Infect-Away Essential Oil BlendAnimal Scents Infect Away is step two of Young Living's three-part system to support pet recovery from minor scrapes and scratches. This prediluted, premium essential oil blend helps guard against harmful contaminants while supporting your pet's irritated coat or skin.
Carefully apply according to the size and species of animal. Additional dilution is recommended for smaller species. You can also put 8−10 drops in a 1-ounce spray bottle with distilled water for a quick skin-cleansing spritz. Best when used as part of a three-part system: PuriClean, followed by Infect Away, then Mendwell oil blends.
Animal Scents Mendwell Essential Oil BlendAnimal Scents Mendwell is step three of Young Living's three-part system to support pet recovery from minor scrapes and scratches. This prediluted, essential oil blend supports your pet's natural healing process by soothing and moisturizing dry, sensitive, and distressed skin. The aroma creates an uplifting environment and promotes feelings of health and wellness for your pet.
Mendwell soothes and moisturizes dry, sensitive, and distressed skin with Myrrh, Hyssop, Frankincense, and other essential oils and is free from synthetic perfumes, dyes, artificial colors, or fragrances – all the good stuff and none of the bad!
Copaiba VitalityThis gentle oil is wonderful when it comes to animals (and honestly humans too!). Copaiba has little scent or flavor, so it is easy to apply and administer, and it augments the body's response to inflammation. So much so that it can be given alongside non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) until symptoms improve, and the animal can be weaned to just copaiba! It is a must have in your animal toolkit.
NingXia Red, 2 PackNingXia Red is a daily must for everyone in our family – even our pets! This wolfberry antioxidant drink is great for so many things for our pets – shiny coats, healthy joints, immune health, energy levels, and much much more!
Check out this NingXia Red Spotlight and this NingXia Red Spotlight blog posts for more on this incredible supplement.
SulfurZyme PowderThis supplement comes in capsules and powder, and it is a wonderful choice for maintaining healthy hair, skin, and joints for many animals (especially large dog breeds prone to arthritis). It is also wonderful during times of pain and inflammation!
Sulfurzyme contains MSM, a natural anti-inflammatory compound that helps a myriad of issues – wound healing, reducing inflammation and speeding healing, as well as skin conditions, autoimmune disorders, and more.
MightyZyme TabletsMightyZyme is a chewable digestive enzymes are wonderful for our pets and for ourselves! Enzymes are crucial to our health and digestion, and in an ideal world our foods would be rich in natural enzymes. Without these little workers, we are not assimilating the nutrients that we need, and we all know that growing bodies need those nutrients! This is a great addition to your pet's routine.

Essential Oils & Exotic Animals
Essential oils can be a huge benefit to our animals – including ferrets, frogs, snakes, lizards and more! In fact, in a healthy environment, animals come into contact with essential oils naturally as they graze, consume herbs, and scratch against trees. We can harness all that plant power to give them amazing tools for their health. Whether you need acute support for a specific need, daily maintenance for overall health, or want to prevent the bumps in the road, there are so many ways oils can help!
Oils & Exotic Animals at a Glance
- Start by placing a drop of oil on your hands and allowing your pet to sniff.
- Remember animals have heightened smell, so a little goes a long way.
- Dilute for small animals as much as you would for cats (Oils & Cats Spotlight), if not more.
- Exotic animals tend to like citrus oils, so introducing one of them first will likely allow the animal to prefer other oils.
- When adding oil to your pet's water, make sure to have a fresh water option available as well.
- For furry animals like ferrets, you can use similar applications as for small cats (Oils & Cats Spotlight).
- For other exotic animals, a water-based diffusion or spray method is more ideal. Water animals like lizards, frogs, or turtles absorb oils in the same way as fish – from plant matter within their water. One simple way to do this is to add a drop of citrus oil (Orange, Lemon, Citrus Fresh) to their drinking water (in a large container).
- For exotics in general (furry or not), 1 drop of oil for every quart of water OR for smaller animals or more dilution, you can dip a toothpick into the oil and swirl it in a quart of water.
- For amphibians, 1 toothpick of an oil (Purification is a good one), for every liter of water and allow them to soak.
- Misting is a great option for the hairless exotics! For small animals like amphibians, 1 toothpick or 1 drop of oil per 1 liter of water. For larger reptiles, up to 4 drops of oil for every 4 ounces of water.
When it comes to reptiles, remember that like most other animals, they are much more sensitive to scents and tastes than humans. Even handling a reptile (or other fur-less exotic animal) with oil residue on your hands may be overwhelming to some. One simple way to test your animal's response to an oil is to place 1 drop somewhere in the animal's environment and note their reaction.
Reptiles and other hairless animals also have more sensitive skin, so remember to introduce oils slowly and keep them diluted until the animal is comfortable with the oil(s).
Skin Soothing Soak
- Infuse 1 pint of magnesium flakes or epsom salt with 15 drops Lavender
- Add 1 Tablespoon of mixture to a quart of warm water and soak for stuck sheds, minor injuries, scrapes, etc.
Animal Scents Line
Using oils on and around your animals is absolutely ok when done correctly. In fact, Young Living has an entire animal care line that is perfect for our four legged, furry pals!
- Animal Scents ParaGize Oil Blend
A settling, cleansing blend of Ginger, Anise, and Peppermint essential oils great for any digestive needs. This relaxing, soothing blend can be applied to your pet's abdomen or diffused to support your pet with its comforting properties. - Animal Scents T-Away Oil Blend
So many of our pets experience emotional trauma that can often leave them with debilitating needs.

This prediluted blend refreshes and cleanses your pet's skin and prepares it for healing by moisturizing as well. PuriClean combines the skin-improvement properties of Patchouli, Mountain Savory, and other essential oils so that you can help your pet feel its best. - Animal Scents Infect-Away Oil Blend
This is step two of Young Living's three-part system to support your pet's skin healing. This prediluted blend includes Ocotea, Patchouli, Myrrh and other cleansing oils that help guard against harmful contaminants while supporting your pet's irritated coat or skin. Carefully apply according to the size and species of the animal. Additional dilution is recommended for smaller species. You can also put 8−10 drops in a 1-ounce spray bottle with distilled water for a quick skin-cleansing spritz. Best when used as part of a three-part system: PuriClean, followed by Infect Away, then Mendwell oil blend. - Animal Scents MendWell Oil Blend
This is step three of helping your pet heal and recover from minor scrapes and scratches. This prediluted blend supports your pet's natural healing process by soothing and moisturizing dry, sensitive, and distressed skin. Plus the aroma of Lavender, Frankincense, Geranium, and more creates an uplifting environment and promotes feelings of health and wellness for your pet.
Common Favorites for Pets
- Fleas, ticks, and pests - Citronella, Tea tree, Citronella, Animal Scents Ointment
- Aches, pains, and inflammation - SulfurZyme, NingXia Red, Helichrysum, Copaiba
- Emotions and trauma - Frankincense, Peace & Calming, Stress Away, Lavender
Quick Tips for Applying Oils
- Apply one drop of your chosen oil to your hands and rub them together. Hold your pet or allow them to sit close to you and get used to them. Do not try to force them to smell your hands or hold them. Let the animal approach you, and if they show interest in the area that has the oils let them sniff/approach at their own pace.
- Try the ‘Petting Method'. Simply apply an oil to your hands and gently “pet” your animal. The animal's hair will actually carry oils down the hair follicle into the skin. Only apply oils to a small part of the animal's coat or body initially. The oils will get where they need to go!
- Always start with 1 drop of essential oil, and apply more often versus using more drops.
- In general, avoid the eye area, unless this area is one of need. According to Dr. Melissa Shelton, DVM, in this case you can use a very diluted ‘eye spritzer' (ex: up to 4 drops of Lavender in 120 mL water) to mist around the eyes.
Tips for Diluting Oils for Exotic Animals
- When using an oil for the first time or for pets under 20 lbs it's best to dilute with a 1:4 ratio or more. That's one drop of essential oil to 4 drops of carrier oil (like V-6 or coconut oil). Apply oil(s) mid-spine to the tail and down the rear legs. Once animals are familiar with oils, they can be applied to the neck, head, outer ears, front legs, and so forth.
- Always dilute “hot” oils like Oregano, Peppermint, Thieves, etc. You can always add more oil, so dilute more and apply more frequently versus diluting less.
Poultry Care
In today's society, many people have a backyard flock, and these amazing creatures can benefit so much from natural practices with essential oils and oil-infused products!
- Use Animal Scents Ointment for cuts and scrapes as needed
- Add 1 drop of Oregano and a splash of Apple Cider Vinegar to a large (5 gallon) water trough
Because of their anatomy, chickens breathe in higher concentrations of oxygen and whatever else is in the air, so diluting oils for them is key! One great way to keep your coop clean and let your chickens get the benefits of oils is to use this Natural Coop Cleaner Recipe:
- 16 oz glass spray bottle
- 1 capful Thieves Household Cleaner
- 25 drops Lemon essential oil
- Fill halfway with white vinegar, then fill with water.
Animals & Supplements
Our animals need the nutritional support of good quality supplements, just like we do! And the same way that we start supplementing to maintain good health before a need arises, we want to do this for our animal friends.
Enter NingXia Red, Mineral Essence, and SulfurZyme (Spotlight). These three really wonderful supplements form a baseline for your furry friends to help keep them healthy and active. Another really great thing to give your pest is digestive enzymes!
- Adding a round of Life 9 (Spotlight) after antibiotics, oral use of antimicrobial oils, severe diarrhea, or an infection is a wonderful way to support a healthy microbiome for your pets!
- MultiGreens is a wonderful supplement to include for immune support, viral infections, and neurologic support.
- NingXia Red (Spotlight #1, Spotlight #2) is amazing for SO many things.

Essential Oils & Large Animals
Essential oils can be a huge benefit to our animals! In fact, in a healthy environment, horses and other large animals come into contact with essential oils naturally as they graze, consume herbs, and scratch against trees. We can harness all that plant power to give them amazing tools for their health. Whether you need acute support for a specific need, daily maintenance for overall health, or want to prevent the bumps in the road, there are so many ways oils can help!
Oils & Large Animals at a Glance
- Start by placing a drop of oil on your hands and allowing your pet to sniff.
- Remember animals have heightened smell, so a little goes a long way.
- In general, large animals (horses, mules, donkeys, mini horses, etc.) will use the same dose or dilution as humans (it's directly on the oil bottle!), though there are always species-specific considerations. Diluting is never a bad choice! Dilute more and apply more frequently.
- Animals with fair or red coats or have a finer bone structure may require more dilution. Also, after applying an oil, stay with the animal for 15-20 minutes to observe any discomfort. If they try to lick it off, are upset or anything, use more dilution.

Common Favorites for Pets
- Fleas, ticks, and pests - Citronella, Tea tree, Citronella, Animal Scents Ointment
- Aches, pains, and inflammation - SulfurZyme, NingXia Red, Helichrysum, Copaiba
- Emotions and trauma - Frankincense, Peace & Calming, Stress Away, Lavender
Quick Tips for Applying Oils
- Apply one drop of your chosen oil to your hands and rub them together. Hold your pet or allow them to sit close to you and get used to them. Do not try to force them to smell your hands or hold them. Let the animal approach you, and if they show interest in the area that has the oils let them sniff/approach at their own pace.
- Try the ‘Petting Method'. Simply apply an oil to your hands and gently “pet” your animal. The animal's hair will actually carry oils down the hair follicle into the skin. Only apply oils to a small part of the animal's coat or body initially. The oils will get where they need to go!
- Always start with 1 drop of essential oil, and apply more often versus using more drops.
- In general, avoid the eye area, unless this area is one of need. According to Dr. Melissa Shelton, DVM, in this case you can use a very diluted ‘eye spritzer' (ex: up to 4 drops of Lavender in 120 mL water) to mist around the eyes.
Tips for Diluting Oils for Large Animals
- When using an oil for the first time or for pets under 20 lbs it's best to dilute with a 1:4 ratio or more. That's one drop of essential oil to 4 drops of carrier oil (like V-6 or coconut oil). Apply oil(s) mid-spine to the tail and down the rear legs. Once animals are familiar with oils, they can be applied to the neck, head, outer ears, front legs, and so forth.
- Always dilute “hot” oils like Oregano, Peppermint, Thieves, etc. You can always add more oil, so dilute more and apply more frequently versus diluting less.

This is a great recipe for large animals (adapted from the Essential Oil Animal Desk Reference).
- 2 oz NingXia Red
- 10-15 drops Oregano
- 8-13 drops Mountain Savory
- 8-10 drops Lavender, Lemon, & Peppermint combined
- 5 drops each Frankincense, Copaiba, & Evergreen Essence
Add to a 14 oz container and top with purified water. Mix well and drench the animal with the solution
Animals & Supplements
Our animals need the nutritional support of good quality supplements, just like we do! And the same way that we start supplementing to maintain good health before a need arises, we want to do this for our animal friends.
Enter NingXia Red, Mineral Essence, and SulfurZyme (Spotlight). These three really wonderful supplements form a baseline for your furry friends to help keep them healthy and active. Another really great thing to give your pest is digestive enzymes!
- Adding a round of Life 9 (Spotlight) after antibiotics, oral use of antimicrobial oils, severe diarrhea, or an infection is a wonderful way to support a healthy microbiome for your pets!
- MultiGreens is a wonderful supplement to include for immune support, viral infections, and neurologic support.
- NingXia Red (Spotlight #1, Spotlight #2) is amazing for SO many things. For horses and large animals, 1-2 oz daily, up to 4 oz during injury.

Essential Oils & Farm Animals
Essential oils can be a huge benefit to our animals! In fact, in a healthy environment, animals come into contact with essential oils naturally as they graze, consume herbs, and scratch against trees. We can harness all that plant power to give them amazing tools for their health. Whether you need acute support for a specific need, daily maintenance for overall health, or want to prevent the bumps in the road, there are so many ways oils can help!
Oils & Farm Animals at a Glance
- Start by placing a drop of oil on your hands and allowing your pet to sniff.
- Remember animals have heightened smell, so a little goes a long way.
- In general, large animals (horses, mules, donkeys, mini horses, etc.) will use the same dose or dilution as humans (it's directly on the oil bottle!), though there are always species-specific considerations. Diluting is never a bad choice! Dilute more and apply more frequently.
- Animals with fair or red coats or have a finer bone structure may require more dilution. Also, after applying an oil, stay with the animal for 15-20 minutes to observe any discomfort. If they try to lick it off, are upset or anything, use more dilution.
First-Aid Kit for Horses (or Other Large Animals)
- Animal Scents Ointment
- Purification, Peace & Calming
- Tea Tree, Lavender, Helichrysum, Copaiba
- Coconut oil for diluting
- Mineral Essence, NingXia Red
- Thieves Household Cleaner (for cleaning all the things!)
- Epsom salts, wraps, adhesive bandages, etc.

Using oils on and around your animals is absolutely ok when done correctly. In fact, Young Living has an entire animal care line that is perfect for our four legged, furry pals!

A settling, cleansing blend of Ginger, Anise, and Peppermint essential oils great for any digestive needs. This relaxing, soothing blend can be applied to your pet's abdomen or diffused to support your pet with its comforting properties. - Animal Scents T-Away Oil Blend
So many of our pets experience emotional trauma that can often leave them with debilitating needs.

Check out these great tips, tricks, and guidelines for using oils on and around dogs!
Oils & Dogs at a Glance

- Diluting is never a bad choice!
- Supplements like NingXia Red (Spotlight #1, Spotlight #2), Sulfurzyme (Spotlight) (great for larger breeds prone to inflammation!), and MightyZyme (Spotlight) are wonderful for dogs

Do not try to force them to smell your hands or hold them. Let the animal approach you, and if they show interest in the area that has the oils let them sniff/approach at their own pace.
- Diffuse your oils on the intermittent setting. Always ensure the animals aren't initially locked in a room and can come and go freely. Your pets should be able to leave the room at any time if they choose. Don't start the diffuser right over where they sleep initially, but only after they are comfortable with diffusing. If the animals pace or look at the diffuser often, they could be uncomfortable with the scent so just allow them to leave the area or add more water to the diffuser to dilute the scent further.
- Try the ‘Petting Method'. Simply apply an oil to your hands and gently “pet” your animal. The animal's hair will actually carry oils down the hair follicle into the skin. Only apply oils to a small part of the animal's coat or body initially. The oils will get where they need to go!

- Always dilute “hot” oils like Oregano, Peppermint, Thieves, etc. You can always add more oil, so dilute more and apply more frequently versus diluting less.
- Use cation with oils and blends containing cinnamon or clove for dogs (like Thieves). These plants are toxic to them and while the distilled oil is different, it is better to be safe with these particular oils.

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:
- Duet Diffuser - no water needed, simply add the oil bottles of choice!
- Aria Ultrasonic Diffuser- 15-25 drops essential oil, covers about 430 sq. feet
- Desert Mist Diffuser - 8-12 drops essential oil, covers about 320 sq. feet
- Dewdrop Diffuser and Rhinestone Diffuser - 5–8 drops of essential oil, covers approximately 320 sq. ft.)
- Sprout the Puppy Diffuser - 8-20 drops essential oil
- Find info on these and many more of the Young Living diffusers right here.
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!

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!
