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!

- 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.)

Everyone knows that calcium is essential for healthy bones and teeth, but did you know calcium works in tandem with other minerals? This means that taking calcium supplements alone is not enough.

Calcium and magnesium specifically work together to help maintain healthy bones, nerves and teeth. Symptoms of low magnesium and calcium may include low energy and fatigue as your body has trouble performing the minute cellular tasks without these minerals. In fact, magnesium alone activates over 300 enzymes or more in the body, and when you pair magnesium with calcium, they are vital healthy nerve and muscle functions and pathways.

- Zinc - Zinc is an essential trace element that helps strengthen the immune system is required for calcium uptake, and supports muscle health and energy levels.
- Manganese - Manganese is a cofactor required for enzyme activity in the body. It plays a role in amino acid, cholesterol, glucose, and carbohydrate metabolism, bone formation, and immune health.

How to use MegaCal

MultiGreens
Supplement Spotlight
MultiGreens is your daily salad in a bottle - spirulina, alfalfa sprouts, barley grass, bee pollen, eleuthero, Pacific kelp, and more. This nutrient-dense supplement combines invigorating greens and essential oils to support overall health, energy levels and general well-being. It features a purifying essential oil blend that includes the powerhouse essential oil Melissa.
MultiGreen at a Glance
- Provides energizing greens with revitalizing essential oils

MultiGreens is a natural, sustainable energy source for the body and is an excellent source of choline which is critical for energy production and also helps with brain fog!
Background
Did you know that there was a study done on MultiGreens that showed a huge increase in absorption versus conventional supplements? This means that when we take vitamins and supplements that are not infused with essential oils, we only absorb a little less than half of what we initially took. THIS (along with the incredibly high quality of Young Living supplements) is why we ditched conventional supplements for the Young Living ones!
When we take Young Living's oil-infused vitamins supplements, the absorption rate increases to 64% in the first half hour alone, and skyrockets to 86% within just one hour! This is because the essential oils help our bodies take in and use the vitamins and minerals in our supplements. Essential oils are able to work as little freight carriers to get the good stuff we are taking into our bloodstream and cells. Plus they all have health-benefiting properties of their own!
Key Ingredients
Each ingredient in the MultiGreens formulation was chosen for a specific reason:
- Bee Pollen - high in protein, low in fat, high in vitamins and minerals including potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins.
- Barley Grass - a powerful cleansing agent, antioxidant, high in minerals.
- Spirulina - a chlorophyll source that is high in magnesium, supports the immune system, liver, intestines and cardiovascular systems, some studies show a link to improved energy and metabolism.

Products & Emotions
When our physical bodies are tired and run down, our emotions are quick to follow. And sometimes it is our emotions that trigger us to our physical health declining! Besides, what is more emotionally exhausting than not feeling great?
Also… hormones. And stress. Thyroid, cortisol and other essential hormones are always affected when we are tired, run down and stressed. Our energy levels bottom out, and we have no pep in our step.
So what do we do? We grab our oils, our supplements and get to work. Ideally we are already supporting our physical bodies as well as our emotions on a daily basis with baseline supplements like MultiGreens. Why? Because balancing our hormones and especially the thyroid is crucial for maintaining good energy levels. Pacific Kelp is in MultiGreen for just that purpose! Pacific kelp supports thyroid function and helps to keep our hormones balanced and in check - something we need daily and even more so when we are run down. Add in all the other powerful ingredients in this supplement, and it is definitely something that can support us both physically and emotionally!
MultiGreens is for...
- Anyone who needs to up iron levels
- Anyone who needs to clean the blood
- Anyone who needs minerals
- Anyone who wants to support the circulatory and nervous systems
- Anyone who doesn't eat a strong, whole-food, many leafy greens diet
- Anyone feeling weak and tired

Daily Prebiotic Fiber
Supplement Spotlight
Health starts in the gut, so we want to do everything we can to have a happy, healthy belly! And having a healthy gut isn't something just for those with gut disorders. It is for us all. Taking daily steps to build, support, detoxify and balance gut bacteria and intestinal lining is crucial, and one of our favorite, simple ways to do this is with Daily Prebiotic Fiber! Daily Prebiotic Fiber is a daily prebiotic and fiber drink that is both delicious and easy on the stomach.
Daily Prebiotic Fiber at a Glance
Daily Prebiotic Fiber supports gut health, aids in the body's natural detoxification process, and helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome - all things that are crucial to overall health! This gentle daily formula contains 6 grams of plant-based prebiotics, 5 grams of soluble fiber, and a belly-supporting blend of essential oils - Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary.
Why We Love Daily Prebiotic Fiber
- Contains 6 grams of plant-based prebiotics and 5 grams of soluble fiber
- Aids in the body's natural detoxification process
- Helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome
- Easy on the stomach and well tolerated by those with digestion sensitivity
- Promotes healthy postbiotics in the gut
- Contains D. Gary Young's original essential oil blend of Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary essential oils
- Helps you feel full longer
- Supports cardiovascular health and immune system
Gut Health & Overall Health
Did you know that over 75% of your immune system is in your gut? Sounds so wild, but it is true. This is yet another reason why a healthy, happy belly is of utmost importance!
If you're thinking that you don't feel bad, don't have dietary sensitivities and feel like your gut is just fine, you could still be experiencing symptoms of gut inflammation and imbalance (dysbiosis). Lots of things in our daily life can result in tiny holes in the gut lining, creating a ‘leaky gut.' This is a huge topic of medical study and one for another day, but leaky gut can cause a whole host of symptoms. Some less straightforward symptoms include migraines, brain fog, joint pain, eczema, acne and emotional instability.
If this is you (and honestly even if it's not!) I challenge you to spend a minimum of 30 days eating low-inflammatory foods, moving your body, taking Life 9 and Daily Prebiotic Fiber and seeing how these things change! Bonus points for adding in 2-4 ounces of NingXia Red each day.
Daily Prebiotic Fiber contains powerful ingredients like agave inulin, guar gum, and prickly pear cactus extract that work synergistically (1+1=3) with Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary essential oils to dexotify the gut and promote a healthy environment for bacterial balance. Pairing Daily Prebiotic Fiber with Life 9 is ideal. Daily Prebiotic Fiber creates a clean, happy home for the diverse bacteria of the Life 9 probiotic!
Plus, the ingredients in Daily Prebiotic Fiber provide 6 grams of plant-based prebiotics and 5 grams of soluble fiber. Prebiotics and fiber are crucial for overall gut health and digestive mobility - ease of things moving through which is definitely what we want! As well as overall cardiovascular and immune system health.
Overall, Daily Prebiotic Fiber is an ideal way to maintain a healthy gut microbiome, aid in the body's natural detoxification process, promote healthy postbiotics in the gut, and even help you feel full longer. If that's not a win, I don't know what is!
Daily Habits for Gut Health
- Avoid inflammatory foods
- Eat whole, nutrient dense foods
- Move your body gently first thing in the morning (yoga, sun salutations, stretching)
- Avoid commercial seed oils (canola oil, sunflower seed oil, etc.)
- Take a high quality probiotic like Life 9
- Eat prebiotic foods like garlic, onions, and NingXia wolfberries
- Take Daily Prebiotic Fiber
Gut Health & Emotions
It may seem strange to link gut health with emotions, but there is a big reason why the two things are connected.
We've all heard about serotonin, especially since it is one of our ‘happy' hormones along with dopamine. Serotonin is the control switch for the body and brain's neurotransmitters. It helps us regulate our emotions from excited and energetic to calm and focused, so when levels are too low, problems can certainly arise.
Serotonin is produced in the brain (this is what we hear about a lot with mental health needs), but a large amount is also produced in the digestive system. So much so that our gut is called the ‘second brain.' In fact, almost 90% of the serotonin in our bodies is produced by the peripheral nervous system in the gut. WOW.
So many things impact the gut's ability to produce and maintain adequate levels of serotonin. A few of these include food sensitivities and allergies, acute and chronic stress, gut flora imbalances, yeast overgrowth, acute and chronic illness, conventional medication and antibiotic use. Some of these things are within our control to change and others we have to simply support and rebuild the gut after experiencing. Acute needs are definitely going to require work, but the real ticket to health is in daily actions!
Often when we crave foods high in sugar or white flour, we are innately trying to regulate low serotonin levels. These foods may give us a quick pick me up, but they also lead to a crash shortly after. BUT. There are many ways we can support the gut (second brain remember!) daily to maintain adequate serotonin (among other important things). Adding Daily Prebiotic Fiber to your daily wellness routine is a great way to support your gut on a daily basis!
To Use Daily Prebiotic Fiber
- Mix 1 scoop in 8 ounces of water or juice once daily.
- Take in the morning 30 minutes before meals on an empty stomach.
- Enjoy with water, NingXia Red, or juice

Green Omega-3
Supplement Spotlight
Say hello to this vegan omega-3 supplement that serves up essential fatty acids from algal oil (algae!) instead of fish oil to support your heart, brain, eyes, and immune system. A plant-based source of omega-3 has so many benefits over traditional fish-based sources – less impact on the marine ecosystem, reduced potential for marine contaminants, and a product without a fishy smell or aftertaste. All the good stuff, none of the bad!
Green Omega-3 at a Glance
- Supports heart and circulatory health
- Supports normal, healthy brain function and mood
- Excellent source of necessary fatty acids
- Great for getting and keeping a healthy immune response and antioxidant levels
- Promotes healthy eye, skin, bone and joint health
- Supports metabolic health and a healthy inflammatory response
- Sustainable vegetarian and vegan-friendly formula
Compared to other vegan omega-3 supplements, Green Omega 3 softgels contain one of the highest amounts of DHA and EPA. Each serving packs 330 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and 160 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) from a pure plant source - marine algae. This incredible formula also contains flaxseed oil, which is naturally rich in ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), and Clove essential for its antioxidant properties. Together, these plant- based ingredients give you all the benefits of fish oil supplements without the fishy aftertaste!
The Importance of Omega-3s
The health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids have been well-studied and established, and almost all physicians will recommend an omega-3 supplement! Omega-3s are synonymous with heart health, have a reputation for being anti-inflammatory, and help the body reduce blood clots. DHA and EPA also help reduce triglyceride levels – a specific type of cholesterol that can turn into blood clots.
The brain and eyes are also highly enriched with omega-3 fatty acids, making DHA and EPA critical for healthy cognitive function and eyesight. In fact, a natural treatment for macular degeneration is an omega-3 fatty acid capsule that contains EPA and DHA because it helps relieve intraocular pressure.
The brain is made mostly of fat, and it functions especially well with high levels of EPA and DHA. These omega-3s the brain's communication processes and reduce inflammation, which can help slow aging. This means you have more mental clarity, a better memory, easier decision making, and a better mood when you have enough omegas!
Omegas also help to reduce inflammation – a main culprit for many of the most common ailments we face. Preliminary studies suggest that omega-3s may even help improve symptoms of osteoarthritis and joint pain!
Omega 3s and Pregnancy
But omega-3s aren't just for those who want healthy hearts! Omega-3 requirements increase during pregnancy in order to aid brain growth, especially as it accelerates during the second half of pregnancy and continues through birth.
And these omegas aren't just for the growing babe. Moms need them too, especially during postpartum healing. Did you know that omegas can help with our moods? Getting enough good fatty acids like EPA and DHA go a long way when it comes to recovery – physical, mental and emotion!
Green Omega 3 Key Ingredients
- Algal oil - a plant-based source of DHA and EPA, derived from algae; DHA accounts for 97% of the omega-3 fats in the human brain, making it critical for cognitive function and heart, brain and eye health.
- Flaxseed oil - rich in omega-3 fatty acids in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a well-researched fatty acid that promotes heart health and helps decrease the incidence of cardiovascular disease; contains 50- 60% ALA, making it even more anti-inflammatory than fish oil
- Clove essential oil - an antioxidant powerhouse that supports the body from the inside out; has the highest ORAC value (antioxidant value) of all know foods and plants to help reduce inflammation, support organ health, promote longevity, and maintain overall wellness.
Full Ingredient List
Algal (Schizochytrium sp.) oil, Tapioca starch, Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) oil, Glycerin, Water, Clove† (Syzygium aromaticum) flower bud essential oil, Vitamin E (as d-alpha-tocopherol)
Why a Plant-Based Formula
Algae are easy to grow, requiring only sunlight, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and phosphorus, making algae farming one of the few operations with a neutral carbon footprint. And they are a wonderful source of the EPA and DHA that make fish oil so healthy for our bodies!
As the world's population grows and puts pressure on wild fisheries, alternative plant-based sources of omega-3s, like algal oil, are becoming increasingly popular. Algal oil provides a sustainable way to supplement your nutritional needs and positively impacts the planet.
How to Use Green Omega-3
Adults 18 years and older: Take 2 softgels daily.

Elderberry & Elderflower
Elderberry and elderflower are two different parts of the same medicinal shrub, and both can be used for their health benefits! While similar, they each have distinct properties that can be used for immune and respiratory health.
Elderberries have been utilized in traditional folk medicine for thousands of years. In European folklore, elderberry consumption was associated with increased longevity and vigor! They are a great source of antioxidants, dietary fiber and vitamins, and are a wonderful way to provide immune support for the body.
Elderflowers are the flowers of the same plant that bloom before the berries form. They have a slight sweet, floral taste, making them a popular choice for teas and cordials. Elderflowers have been shown to have up to two times higher antioxidant activity than the berries due to a higher phenolic content, and they are great for supporting the respiratory system.

Stress Recovery Challenge Essentials
We're so glad you've decided to join us for our Stress Recovery Challenge! This resource is one handy place to find everything you need to know!
Last month we focused on a giant exhale from the emotional and physical stress we've been carrying by supporting our nervous system and creating some practices that help us to let go of thoughts and patterns no longer serving us. This month we are going to move into recovery mode!
Stress over time takes a huge toll on the body depleting it of needed minerals and nutrients and increasing inflammation. Both of these lead to a long list of diseases, dysfunction, and distress! This month we restore and replenish with the Stress Recovery Challenge!
What you will do:
- Take ½ teaspoon Golden Turmeric (Supplement Spotlight)
- Drink Mineral Essence (Supplement Spotlight)
- Take your supplements
That's it. There's no more to it.
Literally will take a few minutes out of your day, and you will not believe the results!
Include the family of all ages, invite friends, and share the fun. The only thing better than getting amazing results is watching people you care about do the same! We're going to walk you through this step by step so simply stay tuned and enjoy!
We definitely recommend ordering these favorites on your Loyalty Rewards order. I mean, is there anything better than your favorite, healthy products showing up on your doorstep each month? What about getting free products and product credits just for ordering things you're already using? Sounds like a winning situation to us! Which is why we love ordering using the Loyalty Rewards. We ditch conventional, toxic products for safe, clean Young Living versions, save money, save time, create a natural home, and get freebies all at the same time! To set up a Loyalty order, search for the products on the ‘Essentials' list, then click ‘Add to Loyalty Order.' You can manage your subscriptions by going to ‘My Account' and ‘Loyalty Order'.

Every time you hit a qualifying PV threshold (100 PV, 190 PV, 250 PV and 300 PV), you will automatically add free oils or products to your order!

The 2023 Travel Handbook
We don't go anywhere without our oils no matter whether we are heading to the grocery store or heading out of the country! These little bottles of plant magic not only make us happy, they improve our experiences, help prevent things going awry, and help keep us going when we hit bumps in the road! Here are our best tips, tricks, hacks and more for traveling (no matter the time of year!)
How to Travel with Oils
Our oils go wherever we go! Often they are in our backpacks, purses and cars either on their own or in a cute oil organizer, but when you're traveling by plane or leaving the country you will want to store them differently.
- For plane travel, place your oil bottles or rollers in a 1 quart ziploc bag just like you do with your other liquids & gels, making sure to tighten the lids. We recommend keeping them in your carry-on luggage to avoid any leaks.
- Choose NingXia Red packets and place them in the zip top bag with the other liquids.
- When flying internationally ALWAYS check their TSA regulations as some may vary by country.
- Grab a supplement organizer and fill it out with your Young Living supplements (we love Inner Defense, Super C Chewables and ImmuPro for travel!)
- Grab a Bon Voyage travel Pack for TSA-approved sizes of your favorite Young Living personal care products and a perfectly sized carrier.
Quick Travel Hacks
Sometimes a good hack or two makes all the difference!
- Reuse an essential oil bottle and fill with liquid carrier oil as a convenient way to dilute your oils when needed.
- Reuse Thieves Hand Sanitizer bottles to make TSA-approved sizes of your shampoo, conditioner, etc.
- Roll up your diffuser plug and stick inside the diffuser, then add the covers back to make sure you don't forget it! We like to travel with the Desert Mist since it is plastic, and you can even forgo the outer cover to save space!
- Premix diffuser blends in empty 5mL bottles for convenience -- think Thieves + Orange for when you arrive and Lavender, Valor and Frankincense for sweet sleep when traveling!
- Utilize the packet versions of supplements: AlkaLime for happy bellies, KidScents MightyPro as an adult probiotic that doesn't need refrigeration, KidScents Unwind as a nightly magnesium supplement.
- Quick tip! - Dining outside & want to keep the bugs away? Grab an outdoor fan, put a few drops of Citronella + Geranium on a clothespin (or two!) & attach to the front of the fan & you have yourself a giant outdoor diffuser!
Top 10 Travel Essentials
The oils and products you take with you will vary a bit depending on your destination, but these ten are ones we always have with us when we travel!
- Thieves Hand Sanitizer - this one is a no brainer!
- Thieves Roll-on - for all the immune support
- Peppermint - for motion sickness & head tension
- DiGize - for allll the belly needs
- NingXia Red Packets - for an afternoon energy boost and immune support
- Lavender or Tranquil Roll-on - for a restful night's sleep & bumps/bruises
- Valor or KidPower - for anyone afraid of heights or flying. Also Valor is a lifesaver when sharing a room with a snorer (rub a drop on their big toe)
- Peace & Calming or Stress Away - for all the travel annoyances and big emotions
- Thieves Wipes - a quick way to wipe down all surfaces
- Insect Repellant Wipes - each one is individually wrapped so they are PERFECT for travel.
Motion Sickness Tamers
Travel excitement can quickly take a nose dive when you or someone else is feeling queasy with motion sickness. Here are our best tips to tame that feeling!
- Peppermint - ALL the Peppermint! Inhale straight from the bottle, dilute and apply over the chest, throat, shoulders and back of the neck, diffuse in the car if possible.
- AromaEase - Dilute this blend and apply it over the abdomen, along the back of the neck ideally starting before the motion sickness hits.
- DIY Tummy Tamer Tumbler:
- Fill a large glass/tumbler with water and ice
- Add 1 drop DiGize Vitality, 2-3 drops Lemon Vitality
- Option to add 1 drop Peppermint Vitality
- Drink as tolerated, ideally start before the motion sickness gets too bad
- DIY Motion Tamer Roll-on:
- 10-20 drops each Peppermint, Ginger, Frankincense
- Carrier of choice
- Roll over the abdomen liberally and frequently
- Hydration with minerals/electrolytes - Try to start the trip super hydrated and maintain that as much as possible throughout. Add Mineral Essence and Lemon Vitality to your water, bring the Lavender Lemonade Vitality Drops with you on a plane, or even mix in AminoWise to a bottle of water.
Camping Necessities Ohhh the great outdoors! We love getting outside and exploring, and naturally, we take all our favorite oils and products with us to keep everyone happy and healthy.
Citronella, Geranium + a battery-powered diffuser - When you're lounging at your campsite with a book in hand, this combo will be your BFF! Fill a battery-powered diffuser with 5-7 drops each Citronella and Geranium essential oils and enjoy the delicious aroma and pest-free zone!
Insect Repellent & Insect Repellent Wipes - This formula effectively prevents mosquito, flea, and tick bites, so you can enjoy the great outdoors worry free!
Insect Repellent Spray Hack - Grab the Insect Repellent bottle and make it into a spray for easy use:
- Continuous spray bottle or an empty Thieves Spray bottle
- Bottle of YL Insect Repellant
- 3 TBSP fractionated coconut oil or ClaraDerm Cooling Mist
- 20 drops Citronella essential oil
- Add all items to the spray bottle, but add the insect repellent last (it will not all fit!)
DIY Outdoor Spray - If you live in a state that has shipping exclusions for the Insect Repellant, try the wipes! Still can't order because of limitations? You can also add a spray top directly to your bottle of Citronella.
- Small continuous spray bottle or an empty Thieves Spray Bottle
- 25 drops each Citronella, Geranium, Lemongrass, Lavender
- 20 drops Eucalyptus Radiata, Tea Tree
- V-6 Vegetable Oil carrier or carrier of choice or ¼ part Witch Hazel to ¾ part Distilled Water
- Note: If you want to use a larger bottle, simply double the recipe. Also if you feel you need a stronger formula or are extremely susceptible to outdoor pests add more Citronella, Lemongrass and/or Geranium!
DIY Itch Stick - for those times you forget your insect repellent!
- In a rollerball, combine 10 drops Purification, 10 drops Lavender + 10 drops Lemon, and top with a carrier oil. Roll on bug bites & itches.
Lavender Essential Oil - We don't call this the Swiss Army Knife for no reason! Someone needs a little calm? Grab your Lavender. Skin saw too much sun? Grab your Lavender. Little one stepped in an ant bed? Grab your Lavender. Blooming flowers got you down? Grab your Lavender!
Mineral Sunscreen - Hands-down, the Young Living Mineral Sunscreen is our favorite sunscreen. It checks all of our boxes -- reef-safe, effective, all natural, great for all skin types, non-nano zinc, won't clog pores. What else is there?!
Mineral Sunscreen Spray Hack:
- Continuous spray bottle
- Bottle of YL Mineral Sunscreen
- 5 TBSP fractionated coconut oil or ClaraDerm Cooling Mist
- 20 drops Carrot Seed essential oil
- Optional: 30 drops Citronella essential oil
- Add all items to the spray bottle and shake well!
Beach Essentials
We are always ready for a day (or week!) in the sunshine and sand! Here's what we're always packing in our beach bags:
- NingXia Red packets - freeze them overnight for a slushie-like treat
- Lavender Lemonade Vitalty Drops + AminoWise - to keep us hydrated in the sun and heat
- Thieves Hand Sanitizer & Thieves Surface Spray - for clean hands, e-readers, toys, phones, etc.
- Lavender Lip Balm - great for lips, cheeks, noses and makes a great carrier stick too
- Peppermint roller - to roll over the back of the neck like instant air conditioning when we get a little too hot!
- Einkorn Granola - for a tasty, healthy snack
- Lavender essential oil - again, for ALL the things! Any kind of skin need, grab your Lavender.
- Seedlings Baby Wipes - for clean hands, even in the sand! Easily remove all the sand from everyone's feet, legs, and hands with Seedlings Baby Wipes!
Wellness 101
Travel can sometimes give our immune systems a run for their money, so we start giving them extra support a couple of weeks before travel when possible! Think extra Wellness Rollers, Super C Chewables, Inner Defense and even extra NingXia Red. Then, when we travel we keep these in our daily arsenal:
- Master Formula - Our favorite daily multivitamin that packs a HUGE nutritional punch and helps us work towards daily wellness. The prepackaged capsules make traveling with this supplement so easy, too!
- Daily NingXia Red - If there were only one habit that you could start or continue during the summer, a daily dose of NingXia Red would be it! This delicious supplement is a powerhouse of antioxidants and nutrients that we want for everyone in the family.
- Super C Chewables - Plant-based, whole-food vitamin C infused with citrus essential oils for a great-tasting immune system boost! These chewable tablets are great for the whole family.
- Wellness roller- We roll this blend over the lymph nodes, on the feet or along the spine morning and evening year round, then use it more frequently as needed! To a 10mL roller bottle add:
- 25 drops each Thieves, Pine, Lemon
- 20 drops each Geranium, Frankincense
- Fill with carrier of choice
I hope you enjoy this Travel Handbook. May your days full of sun and fun!
As Always, I'm here to support you.

Mineral Essence Spotlight
Mineral Essence is your daily liquid dose of minerals - an essential part of overall health and vitality. This unique supplement combines the benefits of ionic minerals with Lemon, Cinnamon, and Peppermint essential oils to create a formulation that is quickly and fully absorbed by the body. You get all the great benefits of minerals in a convenient daily dose!
Mineral Essence at a Glance
- Balanced, full-spectrum ionic mineral complex
- Enhanced with essential oils
- Excellent source of magnesium
- A great addition to your daily multivitamin
- A popular choice for supplementation during pregnancy
Background
According to two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling: “You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.” Trace minerals are incredibly important for our overall health. The body requires nearly two thirds of all the elements currently known to man in order to support optimal health, cognitive function and overall performance, and keeping these minerals in balance is a complex, yet incredibly vital task. The events of everyday living demand a continual ingestion of minerals, ideally from the diet, but given current farming practices, it just isn't enough.
Why do we need Minerals?
Traditionally, eating fresh, sprouted grains, fruits, and vegetables grown in nutrient-rich soil has been the primary supply for a full spectrum of ionic minerals. Unfortunately in today's world, naturally occurring, nutrient-rich soil is becoming increasingly rare. Decades and decades of vegetation growth and aggressive modern farming techniques have brought many of the earth's minerals to the surface where they have been washed away. Synthesized fertilizers are routinely applied to farms and fields where minerals have been depleted, but man-made fertilizers provide only enough mineral substance to support basic plant life.
And just like so many other areas of our health, we can achieve our goals with supplementation! Mineral Essence is a balanced, full-spectrum ionic mineral complex enhanced with essential oils. It contains sixty ionic minerals including iron, zinc, silicon, fluorine, boron, lithium, sodium, sulfur, magnesium, chloride, selenium, thallium, calcium, and potassium as well as peppermint, cinnamon bark and lemon essential oils. The addition of essential oils helps the body absorb all these ionic minerals, making them more bioavailable (and useful!) to our bodies instead of just passing through.
The following deficiencies have been linked to many health issues -- including those that affect our emotional health -- and all of these deficiencies can be improved with Mineral Essence!
- Iron - affects around 20% women and 50% of pregnant women. Pair with Master Formula for ideal results.
- Selenium - a key component of thyroid health. Pair with Master Formula for ideal results.
- Magnesium - some sources say up to half the population is deficient in magnesium! 1 serving of Mineral Essence provides 80% of our daily magnesium requirements.
- Zinc - this mineral is used by more enzymes than any other mineral our bodies need and is used for everything from gut health to DNA repair.
Key Ingredients
- Calcium - essential for healthy bones and teeth, assists in blood clotting, muscle contraction, and nerve transmission.
- Chromium - assists in the metabolism of glucose and regulates blood sugar.
- Cobalt - promotes the formation of red blood cells.
- Copper - promotes normal red-blood cell formation, connective tissue formation and central nervous system function. By storing and releasing iron, copper contributes to hemoglobin formation.
- Iodine - required by the thyroid hormone to support metabolism.
- Iron - important in red blood cell formation, energy and cognitive function.
- Magnesium - supports nerves and muscles and activates over 100 enzymes.
- Molybdenum - contributes to growth and development.
- Phosphorous - works with calcium to contribute to healthy bones and teeth.
- Potassium - regulates heartbeat, fluid balance, and helps muscles contract.
- Selenium - an essential component of a key antioxidant enzyme, also necessary for normal growth and development.
- Sulfur - required for muscle protein and helps with soft, healthy hair.
- Zinc - found in every fluid, tissue, cell and organ throughout the human body with high concentrates in the brain. Inadequate intake can affect over 200 enzymes involved in digestion, metabolism, reproduction and wound healing.
- Cinnamon bark essential oil - antiviral, antibacterial and a strong antioxidant. It also contains high levels of phenols – oxygenating compounds which function as catalysts.
- Lemon essential oil - promotes leukocyte production, which is an important factor in the immune system.
- Peppermint essential oil - antibacterial and a first-rate support for the immune system, also supports digestion
As with all other Young Living supplements, the addition of essential oils to Mineral Essence is key! The essential oils have their own benefits for the body, but they also enhance the bioavailability of the minerals, making Young Living's Mineral Essence superior to any mineral supplement on the market!
Daily Habits with Mineral Essence
Add Mineral Essence to your daily supplement routine!
Take 5 half-droppers (1 ml each) morning and evening or as needed as a mineral supplement. May be added to 4-8 oz. of distilled/purified water or juice before drinking. We recommend adding to cranberry juice if needed as the supplement has a spicy, mineral flavor. Shake well before using and refrigerate after opening.
Apply Mineral Essence to the skin or mix with epsom salts in the bath to allow for absorption through the skin! Note, however, that this route of administration will provide less absorption than ingestion.
Use Mineral Essence to promote hair growth and recovery. Simply drop Mineral Essence onto the scalp and massage in gently. Let sit for 20-30 minutes, then wash hair with gentle, sulfate-free shampoo.
Add Mineral Essence to your daily NingXia Red for even more robust results.
Make a mineralizing mouthwash:
- Mix ½ bottle of Thieves Fresh Essence Mouthwash with ½ bottle of Mineral Essence and shake well.
Try this Golden Mango Sunrise Tonic for daily health and longevity:
- 2-4 oz NingXia Red
- 5 half droppersful Mineral Essence
- ½ tsp Golden Turmeric powder
- Organic low-sugar lemonade or pineapple juice
- Mineral or coconut water + ice as desired
Note: This product contains royal jelly, which may cause allergic reactions, especially in those with bee or honey allergies.

The 2023 Summer Handbook
Hello summer. Warm weather, sunshine-filled days and vacations (or staycations) are on the agenda, and we are ready for it all - with our favorite oils and Young Living products in tow! Here are some of our best tips, tricks, recipes and DIYs for enjoying the summer months to the fullest.
Summer Skin
Two simple steps for getting that beach body:1. Have a body.
2. Go to the beach.
Of course, it wouldn't hurt if our skin was smooth & glowing too right?! A few of our favorite summer body DIYS!
Margarita Body Scrub via Hello Glow
- 1/2 cup salt (You can use regular salt, kosher salt or leftover margarita salt)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1-2 tablespoons tequila
- Juice of 1 lime
- A few drops of Lime EO
Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl until you have a paste. Add more olive oil if needed. Then scrub away in the shower. One note of caution – use the scrub before you shave, not after, because it might burn. The tequila and lime juice are natural antiseptics, the salt exfoliates any dead skin, and the olive oil adds lots of moisture!
Grapefruit Body Smoothing Oil
- Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil
- Grapefruit Essential Oil
In your hands, mix together one pump of Cel-Lite Magic + one drop of Grapefruit. Massage into legs and arms in a circular motion. Continue on any areas that need a little extra smoothing & get your beauty sleep! Be sure to shower before going out in the sun!
DIY Summer Glow Serum
Ditch all the other moisturizers and serums because this one is the game changer! Apply morning and evening for healthy, glowing skin. (PS - CBD Beauty Boost has been nicknamed ‘Botox in a Bottle' so you know it's good!)
- 2 oz glass dropper bottle
- 10 dropperfuls CBD Beauty Boost
- 40 drops Frankincense Essential Oil
- Optional: 20 drops Blue Tansy Essential Oil
- Carrier of choice: argan oil (great for dry skin), jojoba oil (good for all skin types), rose hip oil (for all skin types)
DIY Vitamin C Facial Toner
Vitamin C and Geranium are a dynamic duo when it comes to brightening the skin. Try out this simple toner as we head into the summer!
- 2 oz glass dropper bottle
- 1&1/2 tsp Organic vitamin C powder
- 5 drops Geranium essential oil
- 3 Tbsp distilled water
- Splash alcohol-free witch hazel (optional for more oil-prone skin)
Mix vitamin C powder into the water until dissolved, then add Geranium and top with a splash of witch hazel (optional). Use morning and evening or as desired.
Store up to 2 weeks at room temperature or longer in the fridge.
Moisturizing Oatmeal Soak
Sun and wind and heat can leave the skin needing a little extra moisture. Give your skin (and your whole self!) some TLC with a long, luxurious soak with these simple but effective ingredients.
- 1 cup organic oats, ground
- ¼ cup organic powdered milk (or coconut milk) (or goat milk)
- 1 Tbsp liquid castile soap
- 2 tsp Vitamin E oil
- 10 drops each Frankincense, Cedarwood OR use the YL Dry Skin Serum
- (Optional) 5 drops Helichrysum
Sit and soak for 30 minutes or as long as desired.
Wellness 101
School may be out for the summer, but we aren't getting lax on our wellness routines. Summer is a great time to really focus on great daily wellness habits that we can continue when the colder months arrive! Here are five simple things we're dong everyday this summer to focus on true self-care and overall health.
Master Formula
Our favorite daily multivitamin that packs a HUGE nutritional punch and helps us work towards daily wellness. The prepackaged capsules make traveling with this supplement so easy, too. Check out the Master Formula Supplement Spotlight bog post for more on this daily favorite.
Daily Red (NingXia Red, that is!)
If there were only one habit that you can start or continue during the summer, a daily dose of NingXia Red would be it. This delicious supplement is a powerhouse of antioxidants and nutrients that we want for everyone in the family. Check out the NingXia Red Spotlight blog post for more on this incredible supplement.
Wellness Roller
This bend is something we use year round to help keep our immune systems on the go! We roll this blend over the lymph nodes, on the feet, or along the spine morning and evening year round, then us it more frequently as needed. To a 10 mL roller bottle, add:
- 25 drops each Thieves, Pine & Lemon
- 20 drops each Geranium & Frankincense
- fill with a carrier oil of choice
Note: If you plan to be in direct sunlight, apply this somewhere your clothing will cover.
Diffusing 24/7
If we are awake (and even overnight too), our diffuser is on . Diffusing is such an incredible health habit. Not only will your home or office (and car too) smell amazing, you get the health benefits of breathing in the oils.
- Start the morning off with Raven + Lemon to get everyone going and support the airways
- Set the stage for a peaceful midday rest with Lavender + Grapefruit + Vanilla.
- Bring the 'afternoon pick-me-up' vibes of a cup of coffee with Peppermint + Tangerine + Stress Away.
- End your day with Thieves + Cedarwood to boost immunity and promote restful sleep.
Ditching and Switching
One of the biggest impacts you can have on your health is by ditching conventional products that are FULL of toxins and fragrance. Sadly these ingredients are often hidden or disguised by clever marking (greenwashing anyone?) or renamed as things that sound more natural. Here are a few simple swaps to make this summer.
- Conventional household cleaner ----> Thieves Household Cleaner
- Antibacterial hand soaps ----> Lushious Lemon Foaming Hand Soap
- Beauty store face serums ----> BLOOM Brightening Cream or CBD Beauty Boost
- Kids toothpaste, shampoo, bath gel ----> KidScents Toothpaste, Shampoo, Bath Gel

Fun in the Sun
'Tis the season for hot, sunshine-filled days, and we want to soak in every second of it while staying safe and health. Here are our top three necessities for safe, healthy fun in the sun.
Hands-down, the Young Living Mineral Sunscreen is our favorite sunscreen. It checks all of our boxes - reef safe, effective, all natural, great for all skin types, non-nano zinc, won't clog pores. What else is there?
Quick Tip - Make YL's Mineral Sunscreen application easy with this hack! Makes it even easier to apply, especially with kids by adding some to your hands and apply to the face.- 10 oz continuous spray bottle
- YL Mineral Sunscreen
- 5 tbsp fractioned coconut oil or ClaraDerm Spray
- 20 drops Carrot Seed essential oil
- 30 drops Citronella essential oil (optional)
Add all items to the spray bottle and shake well.
LavaDerm After Sun Spray is your first aid kit BFF! LavaDerm brings relief from the pain and itching of minor burns, cuts, sunburns, scrapes, insect bites, or really any minor skin irritation. Whether or not your skin has seen a little too much sun or wind, this spray will help you feel soothed and refreshed. Apply after a day outdoors for a sigh of relief.
Quick Tip - If you need some relief ASAP and don't have any LavaDerm on hand, try this DIY After Sun Spray:
- 5 oz continuous spray bottle
- 25 drops each Lavender & Frankincense
- 18 drops each Tea Tree & Peppermint
- V-6 Vegetable Oil or carrier of choice
Insect RepellentNo one wants to come in from a wonderful day outdoors with tons of itchy bites from outdoor pests... and you won't have to with the Young Living Insect Repellent! This liquid formula effectively prevents mosquito, flea, and tick bits - so you can enjoy the great outdoors worry free.
This incredible formula is gentle enough for the little ones, yet effective. You can use an empty Thieves Surface Spray bottle for easy applications. It is also available as wipes, with makes application on the go super easy!
Grab the Insect Repellent bottle and make it into a spray for easy use:
- Continuous spray bottle
- Bottle of YL Insect Repellent
- 3 tbsp fractioned coconut oil or ClaraDerm Spray
- 20 drops Citronella essential oil
Add all items to the spray bottle, but add the insect repellent last (it will not all fit!)
Quick Tip - If you live in a state that has shipping exclusions for the Insect Repellant, try the wipes! Still can't order because of limitations - add a spray top directly to your bottle of Citronella. Also try this DIY Outdoor Spray. To a small continuous spray bottle, add:
- 25 drops each Citronella, Geranium, Lemongrass, & Lavender
- 20 drops Eucalyptus Radiata & Tea Tree
- V-6 Vegetable Oil or carrier of choice
Note: if you want to use a larger bottle, simply double the recipe. Also, if you feel you need a stronger formula or are expertly susceptible to outdoor pests, add more Citronella, Lemongrass and/or Geranium.
Citronella, Lemongrass and/or Geranium!
DIY Itch Stick - for those times you forget your insect repellent! In a rollerball, combine 10 drops Purification, 10 drops Lavender, and 10 drops Lemon, and top with a carrier oil. Roll on bug bites & itches.
Quick tip! - Dining outside & want to keep the bugs away? Grab an outdoor fan, put a few drops of Citronella + Geranium on a clothespin (or two!) & attach to the front of the fan & you have yourself a giant outdoor diffuser!
Photosensitive Oils
Summer and citrus oils are synonymous, and we are all about using citrus oils this time of year. As always, we want to keep everyone healthy and safe, so make sure to separate application of citrus oils and exposure to sunlight. As a general rule, avoid direct UV exposure to an area where you applied citrus oils for a minimum of 12 hours, up to 48 hours.
WHY?
Citrus Oils (and some others) contain natural molecules that react with sunlight and cause sensitivity to the skin. All of the Young Living oils and blends that contain these compounds re labeled with a warming to avoid sun/UV light for 12 to 48 hours after applying.
Does that mean you have to put your beloved Grapefruit and Bergamot away for the summer? NO WAY! Just apply to areas that won't be exposed to the sun for at least 24 hours (basically under your clothes). And you can always diffuse.
Beach Essentials
- NingXia Red packets - freeze them overnight for a slushie-like treat
- Lavender Lemonade Vitalty Drops - to keep us hydrated.
- Thieves Hand Sanitizer & Thieves Surface Spray - for clean hands, e-readers, toys, phones, etc.
- Lavender Lip Balm - great for lips, cheeks, noses and makes a great carrier stick too
- Einkorn Granola - for a tasty, healthy snack
- Seedlings Baby Wipes - for clean hands, even in the sand
Quick tip - Easily remove all the sand from everyone's feet, legs, and hands with Seedlings Baby Wipes. We keep a pack in every bag for easy sand removal and clean, fresh hands.
NingXia Red Recipes
Superfood Lemonade Popicles
