Let's dive into the joys of hosting (the coziest blends), holiday fun (Vanilla Whimsey, anyone?) while we sprinkle a little magic into the everyday!

Get ready for a season of gatherings and give your body a little TLC with these free gifts! Grab all your holiday hosting and cozy home necessities - Thieves Household Cleaner, NingXia Red, and festive oils–and give yourself the gift of a happy, healthy belly all season long!

Here's how it works:

DiGize Vitality Essential Blend

DiGize is another oil to always have on hand. It is our go-to for digestive support anytime we need it - both daily and acutely. Make sure to grab this one before you head out to all your summer gatherings!

Add DiGize to V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier and massage it over the abdomen to soothe digestive needs.

Make a ‘Tummy' roller to apply over the stomach as needed for digestive support. To a 10 mL roller bottle, add:
  • 15 drops DiGize
  • 10 drops each Lemon & Peppermint (optional)
  • Carrier of choice
Apply DiGize diluted or in a roller over the stomach and liver to support release of toxic emotions. This works best when paired with strong affirmations and/or prayer.
 
When traveling, inhale DiGize directly from the bottle for soothing comfort. Or pair it with Peppermint in a travel diffuser.

DiGize Vitality is the exact same oil as DiGize essential oil blend, simply labeled differently so it can be ingested. That means you can use the DiGize Vitality the same way you would DiGize essential oil blend - in the diffuser and in all your favorite roller blends as well.

Support your health from the inside out with daily DiGize capsules. Add 1-2 drops DiGize Vitality to a vegetarian capsule and top off with a carrier oil (olive oil or V6).

Add a drop or two of DiGize Vitality to your favorite herbal tea for a digestive support twist.

Whenever you need some extra digestive health, add a drop of DiGize Vitality and a drop of Lemon Vitality (optional) to a large glass of water or to a vegetarian capsule for relief.

See the DiGize Spotlight for TONS of ways to use this oil!

Abundance Essential Oil Blend

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! 

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
  • Place 1-2 drops of Abundance on the crown of your head each day to focus your intention on hope and vitality.
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!
Make a DIY Whipped Body Butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup pure organic shea butter
  • 1 Tbsp Vitamin E oil
  • 20 drops Abundance
  • 15 drops Tangerine
    Step 1 - Melt together coconut oil, shea butter and cocoa butter, then add in vitamin E oil and whisk.
    Step 2 - Refrigerate until almost half solidified, then use a mixer to whip for 1 to 2 minutes until a fluffy consistency is achieved. Add in essential oils then place in a glass jar. 
Whip up a DIY Massage Oil:
  • 4 oz pump bottle 
  • 20 drops Abundance essential oil
  • 10 drops Lavender essential oil
  • 10 drops Orange essential oil
  • Carrier of choice
Give your tired feet some love with this DIY Foot Scrub

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!
Simplify Your Sleep Routine

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

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! 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. Create your own diffusing routine – one oil for the morning (imagine waking up to the uplifting scent of Peppermint) and one for the evening (wind down with relaxing Lavender) OR a combo to use together. There is truly no better way to give your health the gift of sleep!

Oils & Exotic Animals - July 2024

Essential Oils & Exotic Animals

image
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. Animal Scents T-Away is our go-to for everything from storm anxiety to more complex emotional issues with our pets. Apply according to animal size, but in general apply 1 drop behind each ear to calm your pet.
The Three-Step System for Skincare

  1. Animal Scents PuriClean Oil Blend
    This is the first step in Young Living's three-part system to support pet recovery from minor scrapes and scratches. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Oils & Large Animals - July 2024

Essential Oils & Large Animals

image
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.
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.
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. Animal Scents T-Away is our go-to for everything from storm anxiety to more complex emotional issues with our pets. Apply according to animal size, but in general apply 1 drop behind each ear to calm your pet.
The Three-Step System for Skincare

  1. Animal Scents PuriClean Oil Blend
    This is the first step in Young Living's three-part system to support pet recovery from minor scrapes and scratches. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 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.
Veterinarian Infection Suggestion

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

Essential Oils & Dogs

If you are an animal lover, you know that they have hearts and souls that connect with ours so deeply that they become our family. And we want to give them the best – a wonderful life with love and connection and health! And essential oils are a key component of that. Check out these great tips, tricks, and guidelines for using oils on and around dogs!

Oils & Dogs at a Glance

  • Use the Animal Scents line for perfect oils and products for your dog
  • Start slowly by placing a drop of oil on your hands and allowing your pet to sniff.
  • Diffuse on intermittently to let your dog get used to the smell.
  • Remember dogs have heightened smell, so a little goes a long way.
  • 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
Whether you are using oils for preventing or treating those pesky pests (hello Purification, Tea Tree, and Citronella), soothing cuts and scrapes and bites (Animal Scents trio!), adding essential nutrients to your pet's diet through supplements (NingXia Red, KidScents Mightyzyme, Sulfurzyme!), there are so many ways you can give your pets the best with the Young Living products you love!

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!

  • In general, for animals over 20 lbs use a 1:1 dilution ratio.
  • 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.
Dogs & 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!
  • For dogs - approximately 1 capsule or more of Allerzyme (Spotlight) per meal for every 20 lb of body weight; ½ of each Essentialzymes-4 (Spotlight) per meal for every 50 lb of body weight.
  • 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! For dogs, ¼ to ½ capsule for every 20 lbs per day is good for general maintenance, and for very large dogs, you can use up to 1 capsule.
  • MultiGreens (Spotlight) is a wonderful supplement to include for immune support, viral infections, and neurologic support. For dogs, 1 capsule for every 10 lb daily (up to 1-2 per day). 
  • NingXia Red (Spotlight #1, Spotlight #2) is amazing for SO many things. For dogs, ¼ oz for up to 20 lb, ½ oz for 20-50 lb, ¾ oz for 50-100 lb, and 1 oz for over 100 lb – no dilution required (only if preferred!).

Enter NingXia Red, Mineral Essence, and SulfurZyme. 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!
  • For cats - approximately 1 capsule of Allerzyme (Spotlight) daily; approximately ¼ to ½ of each capsule of EssentialZymes-4 (Spotlight) daily
  • Adding a round of Life 9 after antibiotics, oral use of antimicrobial oils, severe diarrhea, or an infection is a wonderful way to support a healthy microbiome for your pets! For cats, ¼ to ½ capsule can be mixed with soft food, 2-3 times a day or as needed.
  • MultiGreens (Spotlight) is a wonderful supplement to include for immune support, viral infections, and neurologic support (especially in the presence of conditions such as feline leukemia). For cats, ½ of a capsule daily (up to 1-2 whole capsules). 
  • NingXia Red (Spotlight #1, Spotlight #2) is amazing for SO many things. For cats, about ½ tsp daily, up to 1 tsp during illness, divided in 3-4 doses. Dilute in fresh water, add to food, give in a syringe.

Animal Scents Shampoo

Animal Scents Shampoo is formulated with seven premium essential oils and other natural ingredients to gently and effectively clean, condition, and protect your pet's coat. Formulated for all types of breeds and coats, Young Living's Animal Scents Shampoo promotes a healthy-looking coat and healthy skin for your furry friends. Plus, the plant-based formula is infused with essential oils to create a soothing aroma that helps calm your pet during bathtime.


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.

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 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 Blend

Animal 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 Blend

Animal 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!

Animal Scents ParaGize Essential Oil Blend

Animal 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.
