Super B TabletsSuper B is a comprehensive B Vitamin complex contains all eight essential energy-boosting B Vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12). It features Orgen-FA, a natural folate source derived from lemon peels, and methycobalamin, a more bioavailable source of B12. Combined with Nutmeg essential and bioavailable chelated minerals such as magnesium, manganese, selenium, and zinc, Super B not only assists in maintaining health energy levels, but it also supports mood and cardiovascular and cognitive function!
B Vitamins are essential to health and well-being and each B Vitamin performs a unique and separate function in the body. B Vitamins are not stored in the body, so supplementation is critical.
WHO SHOULD USE SUPER B?
- Anyone under stress, as it depletes B vitamins in our bodies
- Anyone who battles candida. Some believe a lack of it causes overgrowth.
- Anyone who needs energy. It nourishes our adrenals and combats fatigue.
- Anyone struggling mentally and emotionally, a deficiency can be linked to many anxious, exhausted, dark feelings and thoughts.
- Anyone who struggles with anemia, is pregnant, or doesn't eat a strong whole food diet. While we DO NOT need folic acid which is all over our processed foods and grains, we do need folate which is what you will find in this whole-food supplement.
Create a daily stress-less protocol:
- Take 2 Super B Tablets in the morning (or one in the morning and one around noon).
- Apply the Adrenal Love (Stress Recovery) Serum over the lower back morning and evening. To a 4 oz glass dropper bottle, add:
- Organic castor oil
- 25 drops Nutmeg
- 20 drops Clove
- 20 drops Frankincense
- 20 drops Rosemary
- Roll EndoFlex over the front of the throat (thyroid) and lower back (adrenals) morning and evening. Simply add a roller top to the bottle!
- Drink 2-4oz of NingXia Red daily. Make it fun! Mix it up with some kombucha, coconut water and/or sparkling water.
- Consider adding ProgEssence Plus Serum to your routine.
For more whey we love Super B Tablets, check out the Super B Supplement Spotlight blog post.

DetoxZyme Supplement
Freshen up from the inside out with this daily enzyme supplement that gently detoxes the system. There is so much in our daily life that can weigh down our systems, and DetoxZyme helps our bodies process it out so we can get the most out of our nutrition and keep functioning well!
So much more to read about this supplement on the DetoxZyme Supplement Spotlight blog post. You can find more about other incredible, oil-infused supplements from Young Living, check out this Young Living Oil-Infused Supplement blog post.
Charcoal MaskWhen you're pampering and detoxing your skin with a mask, the last thing you should have to worry about is harsh, synthetic ingredients!! Made with Tahitian volcanic black sand to gently exfoliate for softer, glowing skin, activated charcoal and a blend of ethically sourced kaolin clays, this mask will lift dirt and oil, purify pores, detox skin, and help restore the appearance of an even skin tone.
For oily, combination, and normal skin - Cleanse face with a gentle, non-irritating cleanser; then apply a thin layer of the mask to clean face and allow the mask to harden for 5–20 minutes. Once the mask has changed color and is hard, rinse with warm water to remove. Avoid the eye area, nostrils, and lips. Follow with the rest of your skin care routine, including moisturizer to rehydrate. Use 1–3 times per week.
For dry and sensitive skin - Apply a thin layer of the mask to a clean face and allow the mask to harden for 5–10 minutes. Once the mask has changed color and is hard, rinse with warm water to remove. Avoid the eye area, nostrils, and lips. Your skin will likely feel dry after rinsing, so promptly follow with the rest of your skin care routine, including moisturizer to rehydrate. Use as needed or as a spot treatment.
Create a skincare and true self-care ritual:
- Add a calming blend to your diffuse (Lavender, Tangerine + Patchouli is a great one!)
- Turn on a gentle fan or space heater to make the environment comfortable.
- Take time to wash your face, then apply the Charcoal Mask.
- As it sits, brush and floss your teeth (10/10 recommend Thieves AromaBright Toothpaste and Dental Floss), apply some Lavender Hand & Body Lotion, or some CBD Muscle Rub to the tense areas of your neck and shoulders, drink some water, and take your Life 9 Probiotic.
- Use warm water to remove the mask, then apply a moisturizer like CBD Beauty Boost or BLOOM or your desired moisturizer.
- Finish with lip balm and your favorite sleep roller (Tranquil is a fan fave!).
Bergamot Essential Oil
Bergamot is a household staple oil for so many things! The crisp, citrusy aroma is uplifting and harmonizing, and it makes a wonderful addition to DIYs and diffuser blends. This oil is one we love to have around!
Use Bergamot in your household DIYs
Add 20 drops of Bergamot to your Thieves Household Cleaner for a fresh twist.
Add a few drops to Wool dryer balls for crisp laundry.

To use, add 2-3 Tbsp directly to the laundry.

Step 2 - Let cool in the fridge for 30–45 minutes or until the mixture is no longer clear. It should have a soft texture. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the product for about 2–3 minutes or until it looks like foam and forms peaks. Store in a glass jar at room temperature.
Try a simple natural deodorant with equal parts Patchouli and Bergamot plus carrier in a 30 mL roller bottle.

It has an impact on mental acuity, energy levels and memory as well as many other body processes such as sleep/wake cycles and reproduction. Pregnenolone may also have a role in regulating mood and emotions.” - Supplement Field Guide
DHEA (20%) - DHEA is involved in maintaining the health of the cardiovascular and immune systems. “DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is often used by athletes to promote muscle growth and strength, but this pro-hormone is also involved in maintaining the health of the cardiovascular and immune systems, improving bone density and cholesterol levels and producing sex hormones. DHEA is one of the most abundant hormones in the human body and is required for more than 150 metabolic functions. The adrenal glands naturally produce DHEA for the body to convert into other hormones. DHEA levels naturally start to decline after the age of 30 which can lead to weight gain, low energy, low libido and higher levels of inflammation.” - Supplement Field Guide
How to Use PD 80/20

This handmade olive wood massaging tool was sustainably crafted by local artisans using olive tree branches in Bethlehem.

This is also wonderful with Ortho Ease Massage Oil.
The Holy Land Handicraft Cooperative in Bethlehem provides fair-trade wages and stable employment to those in economically unstable circumstances. But as travel restrictions began to take place in 2020, many artisan groups shut down due to the lack of work.
These orders from Young Living provided much-needed relief in the mist of the economic downturn. Many workshops have reopened, reviving the area and its artisans. Creating and selling unique olive wood products enables these families to stay in their homeland, earn a living, and provide opportunities for their children.

Super Vitamin DSuper Vitamin D is an incredible source of vitamin D that helps support bone growth and healthy muscle AND plays a key function in respiratory health, supports innate and adaptive defense mechanisms, and the immune system overall.

Temporarily relieve cough and congestion with soothing aromatic vapors and a powerful combination of camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus. Thieves Chest Rub helps reduce coughing and is safe to use on family members ages 2 and up. It's a medicine cabinet must-have!
