Happy Labor Day to all of our US customers and Happy September for our international customers. The weather is cooling off here in southern Wisconsin just until our Indian Summer hits and then we will have whiplash back into 90 degree temps within a 24 hour period. I know it’s 47 degrees this morning but don’t pack away your flip flops just yet!
In honor of the start of Fall, enjoy this apple pie recipe with crumb topping. I use coconut sugar in place of any processed sugar and always have amazing results. Let me know if you enjoy it! https://bakeitwithlove.com/wprm_print/dutch-apple-pie-with-streusel-topping/?fbclid=IwRlRTSAMnUnJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHofXwujt5WmYNc_I89-MSX-KzB4o4vCZrsd3uokFsrJagjTHML98bflBR-Fb_aem_oLwVmo9XJKfKwAaWQYbFqQ
Whether it is warm or cold where you are laying your head tonight, I hope you are well prepared for the season ahead. For the last 13 years I have advised people to order their winter oils during the summer and their summer oils during the winter. You avoid out of stock issues on your favorite oils and you are well prepared no matter what season you are in.
Before we talk seasonal wellness, I have to give a big shout out to our new product Daily Hormone Essentials. These little daily packs are a game changer. I am almost through my first month of taking it daily and I am in awe. I have always tried to stay away from processed foods. Not perfectly but it’s definitely not a routine thing in my life. I raised my kids on eating Whole Foods as well because I wanted them to have a healthy start in life and to have healthy hormones which affect so much for our future. Living life all these soon to be 58 years with the least amount of exposure to daily toxins, commercial cleaning products and pharmaceuticals, got me through menopause with ease and I didn’t experience the normal symptoms that most women deal with but I deal with some fatigue and extra weight that doesn’t seem to go away despite what I do. So I gave these little packets a try and I have already lost 2 lbs and my energy has blown me away.
If you are experiencing hormone imbalance or perimenopause, menopause or even beyond, this supplement may positively rock your world.
One caution is this may not be for women using synthetic hormones (birth control) or if you have an IUD. The Daily Hormone Essentials naturally bring balance to your body but synthetic hormones create chaos in your body so the two will be dualing forces and can cause symptoms of imbalance. These do not replace your Progessence Plus or PD 80/20 but pairs with it to bring balance to your entire endocrine system. The testimonies outside of my own are incredible.
This months free products with purchase are great products to add to your winter wellness kit.
If you are on Loyalty Rewards and spend 100pv, you will automatically get a 15ml Clove essential oil.
Clove is a powerhouse. A little Clove history; The people on the island of Ternate were free from epidemics until the sixteenth century when Dutch conquerors destroyed the clove trees that flourished on the islands. Clove essential oil can also act as a natural blood thinner so be mindful if you are using synthetic blood thinners.
Clove can be added to capsules to take internally or applied to the spine with a carrier oil or to the feet every few hours when your body is struggling. You can also diffuse Clove and it can encourage sleep and creates a peaceful mindset. It can kill anything in its path. It’s an oil you want to have in your home as the seasons change.
Cinnamon Bark is also free this month at the 200 pv point level and helps balance our blood sugars by adding 4 drops in a capsule 2-3x a day. Along with Ocatea or Fennel, all of them are wonderful at helping the body naturally balance blood sugar when you take them internally. I love to put a drop of Cinnamon Bark under my tongue for the taste and fighting benefits of this powerhouse. It can kill anything in its path!
At 300pv, you get to enjoy Immugummies. This easy to chew immune boosting daily supplement are for those picky eaters that will not take vitamins. These chewies are so delicious, so much so I have to hide the bag from my hubby! 2 a day is a serving.

Did you hear our Thieves Cough drops are back in stock? I would guess that half of our customers have been waiting for these gems. It’s been over 20 years since I purchased over the counter cough drops because they never worked and I didn’t like all of the sugar in them. (Sugar suppresses your immune system when your trying to heal) so I don’t know the cost of cough drops in the stores now days but I do know that I refused to buy these YL cough drops when they first came out. I was stunned at the cost and said no way. But then, I had a dry cough one year and I didn’t have any other symptoms but this terrible dry cough that wouldn’t go away before I had to fly out of town. My upline called me and I couldn’t even talk to her because my cough was so persistent so she sent her daughter over with these cough drops and I tried them and they worked. And they worked and they worked. So now I use my Loyalty points for two bags every season to use ONLY when absolutely needed. They don’t have any sugar or fake sugars added as well. They are worth every penny! Really! Let me know if you have had a wonderful experience with our cough drops.
So many of you ask how to use the oils for daily conditions or chronic issues. I realized I need to be more specific in how I use essential oils rather than just suggesting oils to use.
You can contact me anytime you have specific questions. I do private zoom calls, in person coffee dates and monthly classes at my home to help answer all of your questions about oil usage to keep your family healthy and happy naturally.
This 👇 is our hiking haul that I keep in a backpack for when we go hiking and boy did it come in handy this week. My hubby had quite the week and were so thankful we have tools at home to care for everything that happened.
Last Monday I sent out a pretty lengthy list of my testimonials to the email all of our active customers for our Monday Education to demonstrate how you can get started with how to use the products you have and why to have items on hand at the ready is so important.
So let’s chat about what oils and products I used this week in my home.
We started off this week with my husband getting a new sting. Not fun right? It actually swelled up pretty big on his ankle and he was in a lot of pain. We immediately put 2-3 drops each of Purification and Lavender on the sting every couple hours. By the next morning the pain was gone and the swelling had gone down but not completely. We continued for day 2 and by day three there was no sting left, no pain and no swelling.
The same day he was out gardening and building a flower bed for me so he was pulling weeds deep in the ground and next to the fencing wire for almost 6 hours on his hands and knees and when he came in, his hands were swollen as well as his knees. We applied our knee blend which we both use now that we both have torn our meniscus’. We apply this to both knees twice a day and it keeps us active and there is never a need to take over the counter anti-inflammatory products that can strain your liver. See knee blend below👇
I also had dairy one of the days this week and dairy really kicks my sinus’ into angry mode. I was dizzy from my sinus’ being so off so I added a few drops of Colloidal Silver in each ear and was as good as new.
I daily take 4 drops of Peppermint in a capsule to support my digestion and help with any inflammation.
I was feeling emotional one day this week about an issue a friend was experiencing so I applied Frankincense and Kidpower to the back of my brainstem and my wrists to recenter my thoughts and support my brain health.
I use 8 drops of Progessence Plus serum twice a day to support healthy hormones and emotions.
And my husband had a pretty intense physical therapy appointment stemming from his eye surgery earlier this spring so we used Valor on his neck and back before the appointment to calm his nerves and help his skeletal system align. It is the same frequency as your bones so it’s great for that aching back and skeletal health.
This following knee blend is also good for romantic moments. Hubba Hubba 😬🥰
Happy Knee Blend
1/4 cup coconut oil in a glass jar (never put oils in plastic, they will pull the petro chemicals out of the plastic, yuck.
30 drops Palo Santo
40 drops Copaiba
6 drops Lemongrass
Mix well with a metal spoon or knife and this should last a couple months, only needing a small pea size amount on the knees or hands or other area of the body in pain.
After Jim applied this to his knees and hands, he immediately was able to bend and move his hands and knees without pain. We don’t go a day without applying this blend. And you will love the smell too.
Sometimes we question why the oils seem so expensive....
Here are some quick tid bits to help keep things in perspective!
PALO SANTO (Holy Wood)
It is steam distilled from the wood chips of dead heartwood-Equador. The wood must be dead for at least 2 years before the oil is pulled into the heartwood. The wood must be cut into sawdust to get at the oil (9kg of sawdust to produce 500 ml of oil).
If you are not sure what Palo Santo is used for, check out your desk reference! Its a single oil and has some amazing emotional benefits, specifically addresses knee issues as well as immune support.
ROSE oil - Is the most expensive oil that Young Living produces and is not just for that pretty smell. Check out your desk reference for some of the amazing uses of Rose Oil. If you wonder why it is so expensive, it is Steam distilled from rose petals. It is deeply nourishing and beneficial to the skin. Twenty-two pounds of rose petal are distilled for every 5-ml bottle of oil produced. I have had two bottles in my time with Young Living and I use it sparingly to add to other blends for beautiful skin, deep emotional issues and for skin injury and repair.
LEMON oil - Do you know, it takes approximately 75 lemons to make one 15 ml bottle of Lemon Oil! Use it daily in water to help boost immune system, diffuse during homework for clear thinking and concentration and great for liver support!
If you have a desk reference, read one page a week! You will be surprised at what these amazing oils can do!
Back in stock!!!!! Check out our Education page on Facebook to get weekly Back in Stock notifications.
Have you got your oils for winter? Having them on hand will help you tackle whatever comes your way immediately to fight the battle before the sickness takes root.
Here are my top products to have on hand every year, all year around but absolutely during the winter:
Nebulizer - battery powered ones do not work well. You can get a good one that plugs in on Amazon for around $60. It will be well worth it and cheaper than a doctors visit. You can nebulize hydrogen peroxide or Colloidal Silver to help you or your child breathe easy in difficult situations. Of course consult a doctor in an emergency. We take ours with us when we travel and have used it. It’s a must have.
Colloidal Silver - our last newsletter went over the benefits and the brand to look into. It’s a must have. Great for so many things but also ear infections and pain. It’s easy and quick to put drops in you or your child’s ear. Really, it works. Find a good health book and read about it. Google is not the best source for medical advice.
Thieves cough drops - coughs, sore throat
Thieves oil kills it all
Clove oil - kills it all
Oregano - sinus’
Red Cedar Bliss - gunk and junk in your lungs and sinus’? Take 5 drops internally every few hours and you will be amazed.
Cedarwood, Peace and Calming -sleep
RC -respiratory
Inner Defense capsules- It’s a natural course of 7 days to clear the ick from your body kinda thing. Every home needs 2 bottles on hand
Ylang Ylang & Cedarwood for tough coughs that want to stick around. Rub 4 drops of each of these two oils on the spine and chest several times a day to kick it in the butt almost overnight.
I could go on and on but these would be my absolute must haves. You can conquer anything with those 11 options. Consistency always brings results.
If this list seems daunting, grab yourself a premium Starter kit for $165 and you will have 12 oils at the ready for all body systems and illness. Here is a previous video on how to use them and why the kit is such a money saver: https://youtu.be/uMfe5kLNd1A?si=Uqzbh1keU4RMi5_k
People say oils are costly but so is not being able to work because you are too sick. So are Co-pays to see a doc when many things you can kick it in the butt yourself. So is not being able to care for your children because you are down for the count.
Sometimes I get the feedback that it’s cheaper to go get the free medicine that the insurance pays for and I will always argue that what you are savings in money now, you will pay for in health issues later. Medicine is here as a tool for urgent or serious situations but our society has turned them into using them for well care which will never keep you well. Prescriptions cause chaos in our body which is why we have side effects. Natural remedies come front plants that our bodies can recognize and they bring harmony and wholeness to our body.
Especially as we age, having a healthy foundation under our belt is going to lead us into our older years with so much more ease and strength and endurance and freedom to stay independent.
What do you use for sleep?
Rutavala
Lavender
Cedarwood - soooo inexpensive (great for that adult or child with attention or hyperactivity issues.
Sleepygize
Orange - sooooo inexpensive
The oils work and are safe for your babies, pets and you!
If your not cleaning your house with Thieves cleaner, your missing out on the most inexpensive delicious cleaner out there that is proven safe for your kids, babies, pets and more. And there is even tested evidence out there that you can clean your counters with it after cutting chicken and poof 💨 all the yuck is gone. Ask me for the video.
The oils in Thieves cleaner are fighters and create a hostile environment to germs, bacteria and virus’. It’s safe to use in EVERY area of your home.
This time of year I like to add a couple drops of Christmas Spirit to it so my wood floors and counters and mirror have a little holiday scent to them. Christmas spirit boosts your immune system and gives you a feeling of security when diffused or inhaled. Grab yourself some little bottles before the end of the month. You will not regret it. It tastes delicious too under the tongue 👅
Make your home smell amazing and know that it’s a safe cleaner and the most versatile and effective on the market, so I believe. I have not found anything better
Thieves cleaner, under a dollar per serving, using only a capful per spray bottle 🥰
Have you tried DILL essential oil?
Dill essential oil, what do we do with this? Do you have “figity children”? Keep reading! 🙌
This gem is high in moniterpenes! It is wonderful for people who have cholesterol! 😜
Roman gladiators used to rub it into their skin before a fight. 🥴
It is wonderful to support your ......
digestive system
Your respiratory system
Healthy blood sugar
Healthy liver support

Oils and babies
A post from two years ago but the info is still good tips for today! Oils are safe and amazing for any age! 👇
Good morning from Not So Sunny California.
This beautiful girl is a week old now and I’m getting ready to head home after being here for over 2 weeks.
This is Kalei and is my daughters second sweet girl. As with the first she is an oil baby and is so healthy and happy.
Lots of people ask if oils are safe for newborns and most of the Young Living oils are. There is a great book for expecting or new mamas “Gentle Babies by Debra Rayburn” and it’s a beautiful guide to help you navigate health and oils in pregnancy, ”labor, delivery, postpartum, and newborn and toddler care. It’s my go to book to send as a gift to all new mamas!
People don’t hesitate to give their baby an over the counter med but are hesitant to give them pure plant goodness that has no preservatives, chemicals or synthetics in it. Young Living Oils are safe and beautiful for every stage of life and for our pets and we just use common sense and of course use way less than we would on ourselves as adults.
This beauty here and her sister and other grandbabies of mine started out life in the womb with mama using oils daily and then Frankincense applied to their feet immediately at birth with a little prayer! It’s a beautiful way to enter the world and be supported naturally from moment one.
We have used Myrtle on this little ones feet, just a drop twice a day since birth because a sinus yuck is going around and Myrtle is specifically great for infants respiratory support. Frankincense keeps the immune system working so well, brings emotional calm and helps them cellularly at all levels.
Gentle Baby is so gentle for our babies. It’s name fits perfectly. Helps with mama and baby feeling calm and collected, and beautiful for any kind of skin that needs attention from babies bum to mamas tender areas.
And then comes the respiratory and sinus support for all of us that we’re dealing with whatever is being passed around now days. Sinus discomfort is always just that, discomfort. So we tackled it with steamy hot showers first thing in the morning to drain all the things, lemon in our water daily, and then oils like Hong Kui (trees from Taiwan that grow for over 1,000 years and is highly resistant to decay and used for building temples), Lime for respiratory support, Palo Santo for Respiratory and Sinus support, Valor to keep all the emotions calm in the house after the chaos of a new baby and a blend I made of Oregano, Thyme, Lemongrass, Thieves and Cassia for the bottoms of feet for all of us 4x a day. Knocking this garbage out fast and furious so we can enjoy this new life to the fullest. ❤️
We added Aromaease for big sisters tummy who was a little stressed most likely from all the changes in the home.

You are receiving this email because you are part of our Young Living group. This is for educational purposes only, this is not a solicitation.
I have to give a fair warning for this months newsletter. I know we all have very short attention spans, but this month is jam packed with information that is very intentional to assist you with preparing for the fall and winter months that bring on many issues for many families. This months is longer than usual with the new products from convention. Some are noted here, and more are found when you log into your account under new products. Young Living has been helping people find wellness for over 30 years and we have farms all over the world to ensure that we stick to the purity guarantee that we stand behind. We are a relational business, and that is why we are not sold in stores. Our products need explanation. The FDA restricts YL from expressing what oils can help with specific conditions and health issues and that is why you have a sponsor to help educate you. We encourage you to get a desk reference (ask me for the link) because it will change the way you treat illness in your home and empower you with knowledge to be confident in the choices you make. My heart is to always provide alternative methods to keep your family healthy with products that work, teach you how to use them with choices that will not leave you with harmful side effects. And, as a side note.......Without fail, for as many years as I have been producing this newsletter, my computer crashes or deletes all my work, each month ONLY on the day I write this up for you, so I hope you enjoy this labor of love.
August is here and this newsletter is arriving late but better late than never. My husband and I have been driving across the country to visit sweet friends and one of my daughters in southern Idaho. We enjoyed lots of Ningxia and grabbed a Ningxia Nitro on the days when we needed the energy to keep on driving to meet our goal of 600 miles a day. I know, its not much, but we like to stop when we want to stop and visit sights that we see along the way. Do you like to travel? I have to admit, its my only addiction. Do you know that your oils travel well? We took about 50 bottles with us of various oils "just in case". They are great for emergency care, they are easy to apply anywhere, and they do not need refrigeration. Our host had some severe sinus blockage and back pain from a recent surgery so we gladly shared what we had to assist him. He was a happy camper. Juniper and Lemon came in handy for me with the wavering back and forth of drinking lots of fluids and then not drinking enough, extremely dry climates and not stopping enough while driving, and it took its toll on my body. TMI warning......my bladder was so happy for 5 drops of each of these two oils when major pain started to creep in. Thankfully it was halted within 12 hours of taking a capsule every 2-3 hours. Did you know that these two oils and Fermented Apple Cider vinegar also helps break apart kidney stones and the pain that goes with it? Just taking a tbs of Fermented Apple Cider vinegar every 2 hours with lemon eases the pain of kidney stones and starts breaking them apart. Adding Juniper is just the icing on the cake. It can work for gallstones too. This is a great tip I love to share with friends and family because I have seen it work and we all love to share what works with those we love. Its like finding a great restaurant, you just want to pass it on!!!
As the days get shorter, we need to ensure that our body has enough Vitamin D. This beautiful hormone helps keep our immune system strong and when we are not in the sun, supplementation is necessary. A good 30 minutes in the sun daily without sunscreen gives your body your daily dose but when the days get darker earlier and the sun is not as strong, a good Vitamin D supplement should be your friend. Young Living has a great chewable supplement that is not only good for kids but adults too. Vitamin D is not water soluble like Vitamin C and B, so it is good to get your levels tested. I only take it during the fall, winter and spring when I am not in the sun daily and 10,000 iu daily has worked well for me. Most insurance companies cover this very simple test and its worth it to ensure that your immune system is strong all year long.
Fall is approaching which means we all need to prepare our Wellness Cabinet for when illness strikes. Preparation is key so you have the things on hand that you need to kick it in the butt before it takes hold in your system. If you are on Loyalty Rewards, I encourage you to order one or two winter oils a month outside of your normal monthly needs, to keep within budget. I have always encouraged customers to order their winter oils during the summer months and their summer oils during the winter so you avoid out of stock issues. If you need a list of my "must haves" for winter, please respond to this email and I can pass it on.
If you live in Northern Illinois or Southern Wisconsin, please grab a friend and join us on Thursday, August 21st at 6:30 pm in Salem, WI for our Fall Wellness class. You will enjoy refreshments, education and go home with capsules and a wellness roller to get you started when illness strikes! Registration is free and closes on August 20th. Bring a non-Young Living friend and you both go home with a YL Lip Balm. If you have never tried a YL lip balm, it will be the best lip balm you have ever tried and it can also be used as a wound and cracked skin salve, bee sting soother, and bug bite relief. We look forward to seeing you! https://getoiling.com/ceciliabruce/events/19185/fall-wellness
Every winter families struggle with ear infections, kids and adults alike. There are oils to rub alongside the back and front of your ears to assist with this and you can take oils internally to help fight the nasty that is causing it, but we never want to put essential oils directly into our ear canal. The eyes and ears are the two places that we do not recommend inserting essential oils. (They can go in other sensitive areas with lots of carrier oil - ahem......Lucy Libido class 101!!!!) This is where colloidal silver comes in handy. Its a tried and true method that has been used for many many years with great success for ear infections. Used a few times a day for a couple days has had great results for my own family, kids and grandkids. It is easy to use and easy to travel with. If you have ever traveled with kids, you know someone always ends up getting sick so we always travel with a well stocked wellness kit with oils, Inner Defense, colloidal silver, a nebulizer and vitamins C and D. It goes with us everywhere. There is never a need to stop and purchase anything over the counter. Be mindful what you read about colloidal silver on the internet, there is much information that is not correct and causes lots of fear. Find a good resource that you trust to get valuable information on the topic.
For all the women out there, have you heard the news? Young Living has just released a new product, Daily Hormone Essentials!!!!! What? I speak to hundreds of women that are struggling daily, from mood swings, painful cycles, fatigue, hair loss, night sweats, hot flashes.....the list can go on.

Shannon Hudson is a Young Living member and here is her recent testimony:
I did not have a heart attack yesterday.
Nope. 
Last time we had a big event back in November… I did. 
Our minds are tricky little things. 
Yesterday was our first big in-person party since that heart attack. 
.
About 3 weeks ago, I started feeling panicky 
, worrying that history might repeat itself. The stress of running events, prepping, trying to keep all the plates spinning… whew. I’m a control specialist (aka recovering perfectionist 
), so my brain went into overdrive.
, worrying that history might repeat itself. The stress of running events, prepping, trying to keep all the plates spinning… whew. I’m a control specialist (aka recovering perfectionist ), so my brain went into overdrive..
I kept telling myself, I’m fine. I’m strong. My heart is healthy. 
But fear would creep back in, whispering what if…? 
.
I didn’t promote the event much. I didn’t make my usual personal calls.
That’s not me. That was fear talking.
.
The racing heart 
, the cortisol spike when you’re trying to do it all… it’s real.
, the cortisol spike when you’re trying to do it all… it’s real..
Then, about 15 days ago, my Daily Hormone Essentials arrived 
. You better believe I popped the first one right out of the box.
. You better believe I popped the first one right out of the box..
Five days before the event, I realized something was different…
I felt calm. 
No nervous tension.
No chest-tightening “what if I can’t get it all done” drama.
No obsessing over the agenda.
.
I actually thought, What doesn’t happen, just doesn’t get done.
I slept 
, swam 
, went for walks 
→ while usually I’d be in all-caps RAGE-PACKING mode.
, swam , went for walks → while usually I’d be in all-caps RAGE-PACKING mode..
I was so chill my assistant (aka my daughter Alicia) asked Brian what was wrong with me. 
.
Yesterday, at Convention in the Park, I hugged necks 
, played games 
, and taught outside in 90 degrees 
from 10:30→3:30. I felt full → full of joy 
, full of energy 
, full of peace 
. The fear showed up once… and only because I was telling people how different I felt.

The event didn’t drain me → it filled my cup. 
We even went to dinner 
and swimming 
afterward! Usually I’m down for 3-7 days after an event like that.

Today? Still riding the afterglow. 
We went to the farmers market, did a mini meal prep, helped my daughter pick up a bed, went to the lake 
, had dinner at a cute little place in historic Holly, planned and set up a Hormone Hoedown Event for September (yes, the agenda is already finished!), and went for an evening swim. And I just feel… good. It’s 11:00 pm and I’m heading to bed… not ready to collapse, just pleasantly sleepy.

Friends, this has not been my norm… ever.

That fear? Gone.

I know, TMI, but I’m past menopause… like it’s been 5 years. 
I was one of those women who thought, I’m good, I’m past all that.
I was one of those women who thought, I’m good, I’m past all that.Can I tell you → nope. WE ARE NOT GOOD. Our cells still need and deserve all the love and support. 
Balance still matters.
Balance still matters..
I feel nicer.
Not just to Brian and my kids… but nicer to me. 
Sadly, we’re often our own biggest critics. But my inner dialogue has shifted.
.
When I was getting ready for the party, I pulled on a brand-new pair of white pants 
, yanked off the tag 
, looked in the mirror and thought, Girl, you look amazing. Look at that booty! 
Eek → can’t believe I’m in a size 18/20 (down from a 38)!! Whoop whoop! 
Cue happy dance and dramatic jaw drop!

, looked in the mirror again and thought, You look beautiful.
, looked in the mirror again and thought, You look beautiful.Umm… do you know how long it has been since I felt beautiful??? 
I can’t say for sure it was the Daily Hormone Essentials.
It doesn’t claim “banishes all panic” on the label… or "nicer to family, friends, and yourself."
.
It doesn’t say "changes your inner dialogue, makes you love your reflection, or perks up your booty in white pants" 
.
..
But it does promise balance → and I have never felt more balanced in my life. 
Anyone else noticing that crazy calm 
and relaxed tension melting away… or anyone out there desperately needing it?
and relaxed tension melting away… or anyone out there desperately needing it?I know it has been out of stock, but today ITS BACK and It’s limited to one per account… and Brian Hudson said he’s grabbing one too “’cuz he never wants me to be without it.”
.
He said it with a little too much enthusiasm… like, calm down sir, what are you trying to say here? Should I be flattered or mildly offended?

It has two diffuser options for different budget points. Even if you are an existing customer, you can take advantage of the starter bundles and the immense savings that comes with them.
Thieves Lozenges are back in stock!!! It has been a long wait but they made it back just in time for the winter months. Did you know that Young Living ensures that our supplements that support your wellness do not have added sugar because sugar suppresses the immune system and conflicts with healing? I am always confused when commercial cough drops, cough syrups and over the counter meds contain sugar or corn syrup and artificial colors and flavors. These ingredients do not support healing and usually lead to other symptoms.
Thieves® Hard Lozenges offer a quick, convenient, low-calorie way to enjoy Young Living's signature Thieves blend and can be comforting to dry and itchy throats.

FRUIT and Veggies Wash
Thank you Shannon for the great info! Before you read on, the bottom picture is of an “organic, bio-engineered” tomato I bought since our tomatoes are not ripe yet in our own organic garden. I threw it away. It was foaming inside, it didn’t have a bad spot on it and was firm and fresh but these bumps, what are they? Sick 
Apeel, Pesticides, Critters, Fungal & Mold Spores? 
Gross. What’s Really Hiding in Your Produce 
OK, fair warning... this is an 8-minute rant.Put your seatbelt on, grab your oils 
and a snack 
, because
and a snack , because I. AM. DONE.
.
I just CANNOT with all the garbage they throw at us anymore.
Like, at what point did we go from “
eat the apples off the tree after rubbing it on your shirt” to “
your strawberry has a plastic coating & tastes like a sponge”? 
eat the apples off the tree after rubbing it on your shirt” to “ your strawberry has a plastic coating & tastes like a sponge”? .
They’re not just slipping in a little junk here and there anymore.
Nope.
They are sneaking entire toxic ingredient lists into your food 
, spraying unpronounceable science experiments on your produce 
, and then acting like you’re the crazy one for asking questions.
, spraying unpronounceable science experiments on your produce , and then acting like you’re the crazy one for asking questions..
AND THEN...
They slap a “safe” label on it...with zero long-term safety data 
, no independent testing 
, no transparency 
, NOTHING.
, no independent testing , no transparency , NOTHING.Just a “trust us” from the same people who thought margarine was a superfood. 
.
Like... am I supposed to just smile and say,
“Thanks so much for that unlabeled endocrine-disrupting synthetic coating, Big Food. Please pass the fake butter 
and genetically modified corn 
while you’re at it”?
and genetically modified corn while you’re at it”?.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. 
.
The FDA: “It’s safe.”
Me: “Cool, show me the 10-year safety studies.”
The FDA: “We don’t have any, but it seems fine.”
Me: “Y’all... you said the same thing about trans fats, aspartame, and a dozen other things we now regret.”.
Make it make sense. 
I'm not here for your science experiments 
.
.I’m not here for your “edible coatings” 
.
.And I’m SURE not here for your “trust us” PR campaigns funded by the very companies selling this trash. 
.
NO THANK YOU. 
My digestive system isn’t your testing ground 
.
.My kids aren’t your lab rats 
.
.And my apples 
don’t need armor 
.
don’t need armor ..
Can I ask...
Why is bread 
not molding anymore?
Milk can stay “fresh” for 2–6 months!! How is that normal??Do you remember pouring lumpy, spoiled milk 
on your cereal 
as a kid??
on your cereal as a kid??Like... you never forget that trauma. 
.
Let’s talk about why your fruit goes bad before you can even eat it.Want it to stay fresh longer ➝ without mystery coatings or chemical grime?
.
Start with the wash.Most people think it’s all about how you store your fruits and veggies and that’s a huge part of it ➝ let me know if you want a video 
on how I ingredient and meal prep!
on how I ingredient and meal prep!.
Truth?
Spoilage often starts before you even put them in the fridge 
.
.
Apeel: Invisible. Uninvited. Everywhere. Even on organic produce.
Pesticide Residue
Dirt & Debris
Fungal & Mold Spores
Critters, Bugs & Microscopic Hitchhikers
Synthetic Wax Sealants
Chemical Film from Shipping & Storage.
I’ve always been a water + apple cider vinegar 
kinda gal...
kinda gal...But “THEY” have upped the game ➝ so I had to level up too. 
That’s where Thieves Fruit & Veggie Soak comes in clutch. 
I am in love!!! This little bottle of plant-powered brilliance 
removes wax, dirt, and all the gross stuff that water and my lovely apple cider vinegar just can’t touch.
removes wax, dirt, and all the gross stuff that water and my lovely apple cider vinegar just can’t touch.
Why it works (and why it’s way better than water or ACV):.
Decyl Glucoside ➝ A plant-based surfactant that breaks surface tension and lifts off grime, wax, and pesticide residues
Natural YES: This sudsy superstar is made from sugar and coconut, not petroleum. It’s gentle enough for baby shampoo but tough enough to lift pesticide residue and wax off your food. No drama. Just clean..
Citric Acid + Sodium Citrate ➝ Gentle chelators that help break down tough films and mineral deposits
Natural YES: Not all citric acid is created equal. Some is made from black mold and GMO corn (hard pass)➝but not this one. Young Living’s formula uses plant-derived, non-GMO citric acid to gently break down surface grime without the gross..
Essential Oils ➝ Thieves, DiGize, and Purification blends = clean, fresh, and anti-all the nasty trying to seep into your digestive system via all your produce!!
Natural YES: These aren’t fragrance oils. These are serious botanical powerhouses➝like clove, lemon, rosemary, peppermint, anise, and citronella➝designed to fight the funk hiding in your produce..
Glycerin ➝ Helps dissolve oily residues and rinse clean without weird film or flavor
Natural YES: Young Living uses vegetable-derived glycerin, not petroleum or animal fat. It helps lift the oily, sticky stuff off your apples and grapes➝then rinses clean without leaving any residue behind..
ACV is great for your salad and your scalp… but when it comes to produce, it doesn’t break down waxy coatings or synthetic preservatives the way this soak can..
Several oily mamas have done the “grape test” side by side with water, vinegar, and Thieves soak➝and the Thieves soak made the grapes actually feel like grapes again. Not weirdly rubbery or slick. Just juicy, clean, and snack-worthy..
What about pesticides? Here’s the deal:
Produce washed with surfactants + acidifiers (like those listed above) have been shown to remove up to 80–90% of surface pesticide residues➝especially the oily, waxy kind that sticks to apples, grapes, and cucumbers..
So yes, Thieves Fruit & Veggie Soak absolutely helps.
.
What It Can’t Remove:Systemic pesticides
These are absorbed into the plant’s tissues during growth. They’re inside the cells, not just on the surface➝so no wash (not even boiling water or vinegar) is going to get those out.
.
Genetically modified or chemically treated seeds
Again, washing won’t reverse what was done before the fruit grew.
.
This soak is a tool, not a miracle, but it’s a mighty good one.
Buying local or organic is still best when possible, but washing smart gives your produce the best chance at being clean, safe, and long-lasting.
.
What is Apeel? (And why should you care?)Apeel is a post-harvest coating made from mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids➝and no, that does not mean it’s healthy just because it has the word “fatty acid” in it.
.
Let’s clear this up:
These aren’t omega-3s or healthy fats your body needs.
They’re highly processed emulsifiers, made by chemically modifying oils (usually soy, canola, or other industrial seeds) into shelf-stable coating agents.
.
The same type of compounds are used in:
Frosting and peanut butter (so they don’t separate)
Fast food buns and tortillas (to keep them soft for months)
Creamy junk foods (to mimic texture without using actual cream)Now they’re rubbing that stuff on the outside of your produce.
YES, even organic!!
.
Here’s the problem with Apeel, it’s not just what's in it... it’s what it does.Apeel coats your produce in an oxygen-blocking film, literally sealing it off from air.
Sounds smart, right? Keep oxygen out ➝ slow spoilage.
Except… that’s not all it slows.
.
It also stops the fruit from breathing.
It halts the natural ripening process.
It eliminates key enzymes your body’s supposed to get from real, fresh food.
It traps moisture inside, creating internal rot while the outside still looks “fresh.”.
That’s why your avocado stays hard for two weeks and then goes brown overnight.
Why your bananas stay weirdly green.
Why your produce looks alive on the outside, but is nutritionally dead on the inside.
.
Those enzymes?
They're part of nature’s design. They help you digest food, absorb nutrients, and support your gut, brain, and hormone health. And they’re supposed to show up when fruit ripens naturally.
But when you coat it in a suffocating film to fake shelf life,
you’re not getting vibrant, living food anymore—you’re getting a waxed-up placebo.
It’s marketed as a way to make fruits and veggies last longer, but here’s the kicker:
It’s applied to both conventional and organic produce
It’s not required to be labeled in the U.S. unless you happen to spot a sticker
And it’s darn hard to wash off with just water or vinegar.
In short: It’s invisible, greasy, synthetic, and completely uninvited.
Is it dangerous? “They” say no.But let’s consider the source...
The same folks behind this say a lot of things are “safe.” Meanwhile, our food is more processed, less nutritious, and covered in more chemicals than ever before.
Apeel was backed by Bill Gates and others who openly advocate for population control. 
(Yeah… let that marinate for a sec.)
There are zero long-term studies on what happens when you eat this stuff daily for years.
No data on cumulative buildup
No data and what it will do to our children.
No independent research on digestion, hormone effects, or gut health Just a whole lot of “Trust us.”
For me and my house?That’s a big fat NOPE.
Keep your hands off our food!!
We’ll wash it, grow it, or peel it ourselves, thank you very much.
.
Thieves Fruit & Veggie Soak is one of the few natural options that can actually help strip it off.Why? Because:
The surfactant + citric acid combo breaks down the sticky emulsifiers
The essential oils (like lemon and peppermint) are lipophilic, meaning they dissolve grease and film
The results? Produce that feels, smells, and tastes like food again➝ not rubberWe cant stop them from adding it, but we sure as heck can get it off and not consume it!!
Bonus Tip: Double Soak That ProduceIf you’re dealing with thick skin or Apeel, do this:
Soak in Thieves Fruit & Veggie Wash for 2–3 minutes
Scrub gently with a soft veggie brush
Rinse thoroughly
Repeat the soak for 2–3 more minutes to really break down that synthetic film if needed.
Kitchen Tip:Wash your haul the second you get home.
Toss it in a soak (just 1 oz per gallon of water), let it sit for 2 minutes, rinse, and dry.
This one step:
Extends freshness
Keeps your family safer
Makes you actually want to eat your veggiesAre you already soaking in Thieves?? Did you know it removed, like allllll the things?? Was this the reminder you needed??
Who’s grabbing a bottle (or two)? Its also great for dissolving odors in our laundry wash! Its a great multi-tasker!
Do you have kids that are nervous about going back to school and have trouble with focus and attention? These two Kidscents oils are 15% off through the end of August. Kidscents line of oils all have a carrier oil to take out the guesswork and worry about where you put the oils or if you need to dilute them. It's all done for you. Kidpower is an amazing blend of oils to help kids (and adults) that are struggling with nerves going into a new environment or performing new tasks. Rolling it on the back of the neck before school is a great way to send your child off with confidence. I personally use it myself for perfume and its general calming effects are a bonus. Geneyus is a blend for brain health and focus that again applied on the back of the brain stem will help calm the brain to help with focus and attention during school or after school during homework time.
Grab your child their own starter kit for their room and their own personal oil routine. My grand kids as young as two know how to apply the oils to themselves and enjoy putting them on regularly and for their bedtime routine. If you are not using the Kidscents line specifically, you can stretch our oils by purchasing roller balls from Amazon (with metal rollers) and cut with fractionated coconut oil or jojoba oil so your little ones are not using too much to break the bank. 20 drops of an oil to 1/2 of a roller ball filled with carrier oil.
Have you made a rollerball for a specific need or condition?
Do you know, putting your oils in a roller ball helps with easier application and even helps stretch your oils?
I had a customer reach out that she has her wisdom teeth coming in and her jaw is “angry”. She is using a roller ball of Helichrysum and Frankincense and finds it so soothing and it helps with the bodies response to inflammation too.
What’s in your rollerball? I like to make specific blends for my husband to take to work for easy application so he can just keep it in his pocket and roll on several times a day. Easy peasy!!!
If you have made it to the end of this, you deserve a cookie!
If you have questions about the use of your oils, supplements, or personal care products, please reach out. We can do a private zoom call to talk one on one for more specific assistance. If you would like to host a gathering of friends and family to share the gift of health and earn an income, we would be happy to assist you with an in-person or virtual class.

We are diving into the heat of summer, and the month of family vacations. Grab your oils and lets peek into how to keep cool while you play!
We are celebrating Christmas in July by giving away a supplement every Tuesday during the month of July. If you have never tried a Young Living supplement, you are missing out. I have been taking vitamins since I was a child and I have tried countless brands and I have found that Young Living supplements have the most immediate impact than any other supplements I have tried. All of our supplements have essential oils in them to make them more readily absorbed to the body. And, they smell so delicious. Really! If you would like to get your name entered to win one of our 5 supplements we will be giving away this month, join us in our private Facebook group for our members where we post the giveaways. No purchase necessary!
Did you know Peppermint is used to cool your body down? Whether you are a tiny human that is warm to the touch when your immune system is fighting hard or an older woman who is going through the change and the flashes are intense, Peppermint can be applied to the feet of little ones and to the back of the neck when you are experiencing those uncomfortable changes as you age, and when you are hiking, biking, or exercising, it is like an air conditioner in a bottle.
It also calms a queasy tummy while traveling or during pregnancy.
It repels bugs so you can enjoy that picnic at the park at dusk!
Add a drop or two to your water and watch the inflammation diminish in your body and the bloating release in your belly.
Peppermint is great for a headache or muscle aches and pain.
Put 5 drops in a capsule or tsp of honey for injury or upset tummy.
Put 5 drops in a capsule with 5 drops of Lavender and Lemon, every 4 hours for seasonal allergies.
It has so many more uses found in your desk reference to support many every day health needs in the home and has no side effects except improved wellness.
I will share an experience I had with Peppermint and one of my grandsons last year. Many of you have heard this story, but there are lots of new members that have not. I hope it encourages you not to be afraid to use your oils!
I have been watching my grandson one morning a week. I woke this little man up this morning as I was listening to the monitor, he was gasping for breath. He couldn’t take a breath in. (For context, his mom noted that he wasn’t sick when he went to bed)
I almost panicked (takes a lot for me) but decided to oil up his feet real good and sit him next to me with my bottle of peppermint just next to him while we read so he would just breathe it in. Peppermint assists with oxygenating the blood and opening up air passages.
He sat and breathed in the peppermint for ten minutes and the deep raspy labored breathing stopped, and within another 20 minutes he popped up and jumped down and ran to the kitchen and kept saying coffee and pointing to the coffee maker (no he doesn’t get coffee but he knows its mom and dads favorite)
We’re going to continue doing this routine every hour for the rest of the day. We have a nebulizer on hand if needed too.
But just the oils on his feet (Thieves, Lavender, Raven, Myrtle) and peppermint only next to him worked amazingly to help him breathe!
Don’t use cheap oils on your kids, pets or you. They do not work at a cellular level, and they could even cause harm. I was one of those people who used a $3 oil in the health food store many years ago and ended up in the emergency room 3x that week not knowing what was going on with my body.
In the EO industry, the 3 letter agency only requires 5% of an oil to be in those bottles your buying in the store and it can say 100% pure.
It’s junk. Like me ,if you have a bad experience with a junk oil you will walk away thinking all oils are dangerous or they don’t work. Until a friend begged me to come to her class, I was completely disinterested and uninformed of what pure oils could do and the difference between them. It changed my life forever 14 years ago and the lives of my kids and grandkids. I love educating people on how to stay healthy naturally and how to discern the incorrect information you hear on the internet about oils and the good that will only benefit you.
Say it isn’t possible? I’ve only had one antibiotic my whole 56 years and I didn’t even finish it, it made me feel so horrible. No prescrips, no over the counter meds and the first action we take for ANY and all issues in the home is oils. It saves on co-pays and doctor visits, and we never by any OTC meds at the store so the savings is reserved for our wellness.
The oils work at a cellular level so they can safely cross the blood brain barrier to help with emotions, trauma, and anything related to the brain. Its a beautiful thing when you start to use the oils you have and you see the all the benefits in those tiny bottles.

I just received my June order and I had to grab another bottle of this much needed oil to have on hand for winter. I encourage you to stock up with one or two oils a month so you are sure to have what you need when the crisis arrives. Just like we purchase an emergency first aide kit when you have a home and kids, I encourage you to build a wellness kit so you can start using the oils right away when your family is struggling so you can knock it out quickly instead of letting it settle into your system and take hold. When we are down and under the wellness line, we hit it hard with oils immediately and it almost never goes more than a day and a half or two days. Have you tried Red Cedar Bliss? This is a relatively new oil that Young Living came out with during 2020 and it is incredible for your respiratory, and circulatory system and is wonderful for your blood. Here is the scoop.
Let's talk about this one for a minute!! She is probably on your shelf RIGHT NOW, and you need to get her out and USE her!!

Mary Young created this blend to serve a particular purpose? Since this is on social media, I need to control how I say this put on your thinking cap and really listenfor a minute.For the last several years, there has been a clear need in today’s world for a re-balancing of the body, blood, and heart.
This is not just in the physical sense but also in the emotional sense. 
POWERFUL oils in this bend will open a path of overall healing for mental, spiritual, and physical support.
POWERFUL oils in this bend will open a path of overall healing for mental, spiritual, and physical support.Each oil in this blend provides constituents that help create channels in our body to clear our “toxins or proteins,” and the key to that is CLEAN BLOOD.
How do we help blood be the cleanest it can be? >>> Helichrysum, Red Cedar, Frankincense, and most especially clove.
. Where does blood pump through daily and carry good and potential toxins? The heart. The liver. Keeping these clean and healthy is key!
Orange Essential Oil packs a big, power-packed punch with antioxidants, helping the body remove toxins and free radicals it may be unknowingly exposed to. Why is this important? Clean cells mean a thriving body, both physically and mentally. It also is the foundation for a well-response immune system to anything that comes its way.
Clove Essential Oil contains antioxidants and may support a healthy immune system and general wellness. Clove oil also contains eugenol and flavonoids, which can help support a healthy inflammatory response and occasional aches and pains. No wonder it has been used in dentistry for centuries!!Bay Laurel (AKA Laurus Nobilis & Bay Leaves) has been believed to be effective at calming the mind since ancient times. The linalool and cineol found in bay laurel have been found to reduce everyday anxiety and balance stress hormones. It supports your healthy immune and respiratory systems!!
Frankincense Essential Oil kind of stands on its own in the blend. We know what Frank can do and how powerful it is for the mind, focus, and clarity. It is amazing at relieving occasional stress and promoting relaxation. Your lovely lungs and respiratory system love the aroma of Frank! Your strong healthy DNA adore frankincense!!!Helichrysum Essential Oil - Helichrysum is the Latin name for a flowering plant meaning “immortal” or “everlasting.” That is all I am going to say about our helichrysum right now. Sometimes, less is more.
Western Red Cedar Leaf Essential Oil AND Western Red Cedar Wood Essential Oil— I want to make sure you notice that we are using both the wood and the leaves. Each part has different constituents that are AMAZING for your body, your brain, emotions, and overall balance. The Western Red Cedar is called the “tree of life” by the Kakawaka'wakw Tribe [Indigenous tribes] of British Columbia. Again, sometimes less is more. Please note: your lungs, sinuses, and entire respiratory and immune system love the aroma!!
Red Cedar Bliss and why you need it:• A natural way to support your immune system.
• To support overall wellness.
• To invite harmony into your life.
• Antioxidant-supporting oils that deliver plant powered immune support
• Your lungs, sinuses, and respiratory will thank you!!
• Your healthy heart & blood cells will appreciate you too!!
• Love on your strong DNA!!
How do you use her
1. Add a drop under your tongue, in a glass of water or even to a veggie capsule to take internally
2. Dilute & massage into your skin
3. Diffuse to fill your space with this cheerful, spicy, citrus aroma

With all the toxins we are exposed to daily, from the ones we can control with our choices to the ones we cannot, we all need a liver cleanse. We are inundated daily with synthetics and plastics, round up on our food and banned chemicals in our personal care products, no wonder we are stressed and tired and sick. Young Living has had a line of Liver supporting supplements for decades (the Juva product line) and now they have new formulas for all of us that need to clean up our systems.
Detox Powerhouses
Your favorite liver-loving powerhouses are coming back with added ingredients and stronger scientific support for even more powerful products!
These formulas are designed to help you do what your body does best: detox. Because while you can’t dodge every toxin, you can support your body’s ultimate detox organ - your liver.
Enter LiverTone and Whole Body Cleanse supplements - the next evolution of our JuvaTone and JuvaPower supplements. With a renewed focus on the gut-liver detox connection, this duo works together to support healthy liver function, optimal gut health, and all three phases of detox.
Here’s how they work:
LiverTone supplement: a science-backed blend of artichoke leaf, NAC, milk thistle, broccoli seed, and essential oils that supports a healthy liver and phases I and II of detox.
Whole Body Cleanse powder: a gentle, bloat-free detox formula powered by organic baobab fiber, prickly pear juice powder, and kombucha-fermented green tea to support a healthy gut and phase III of detox.
Together, they’re your daily detox duo, helping you clear out what doesn’t serve you and make space for feeling amazing. Let me know if you try it and what you love about it!

There are a lot of emotions swirling through life right now. Everyone has a lot on their plate and the need for emotional balance and calm is ever present. Young Living has so many options for emotional calm for anxiety and restlessness. I can give you countless oils to use with great results. But today, since I see this beautiful plant outside my kitchen window in my garden, lets chat about Roman Chamomile!!! I personally used Roman Chamomile during a dental and medical procedure with no anesthetic. It worked so well for me. I am not telling anyone else to do it but it has incredible properties that many people don't talk about. We again, grow it in our garden and it provides a years worth of tea because it just keeps on giving.
When people think of Roman Chamomile, they often think “sleep.” And yes, this tiny flower is a gentle giant when it comes to supporting deep rest.
Did you know? Gardeners once planted it near sick or struggling plants.
Why? Because it had a reputation as the “Plant’s Physician.” Somehow, it would revive neighboring plants, helping them bounce back stronger.
Hmmm?? Does that sound like the kind of friend we all need?
Roman Chamomile has a story rooted in resilience, royalty, and regeneration. It’s a plant that’s soothed emperors, revived entire gardens, and still offers peace to overwhelmed nervous systems.
It’s been whispered through centuries that this little daisy-shaped flower holds not just medicinal properties but emotional wisdom.
This is one of the gentlest oils you’ll find, making it suitable even for littles.
Top uses:
Apply to soles of the feet before bed (kids love this too!)
Add a drop to unscented lotion for skin that’s cranky or reactive
Diffuse with Lavender and Orange for a calming, uplifting blend
Mix with carrier oil and apply over the heart during emotional moments
We live in a fast paced world, but Roman Chamomile invites us to slow down, breathe deeper, and remember that peace isn’t passive. It’s a choice. A practice. A path.
So the next time your nerves feel frayed, or your sleep feels scattered, reach for the oil that’s been trusted for millennia. Let its soft scent remind you of what’s eternal.
Young Living's Roman Chamomile is a must-have for every home.With Young Living’s Seed to Seal promise, you can rest assured plants have been harvested with care and bottled for those of us who are walking a modern path but still crave ancient wisdom.

June is known for celebrating Father's Day as well as the start of summer. Not all of us have our fathers here with us, myself included and my kids lost their dad when they were very young so its a tender subject for many. But if you have a father, a brother, a teenage or older son or favorite uncle in your life that is struggling with just being present, feeling strong, or feeling like they are not able to conquer all the things that men need to accomplish in a day, whether its working outside on a truck or working in an office, essential oils can play an active part in the health of the men in your life. From our supplements like Cardiogize for heart and blood sugar support, to Shutran for hormonal balance as they age, beard oil to allow them to have a great beard and smell amazing with no harmful chemicals, to using Idaho Blue Spruce oil for increasing healthy testosterone levels, the oils work. I met my current husband at an oil class that I was hosting. over 10 years ago now. He had been using essential oils for many years prior to even meeting me and loved them as a tool to take care of his health and especially for emotional calm when life got stressful. He works a very physically demanding job building booths in Chicago and always has Digize in his lunch box in case he has digestive upset, Clove in case all the guys there are coughing and sneezing and always RC for his sinus' no matter what time of year it is because the dust and debris and germs he is exposed to there is exponential. Oils are not just for the ladies!
Have you experienced hard situations in life that have left a scar on you emotionally? I had an appointment a couple years ago and I was in a town I had not visited or had much experience with since I have lived up in this area. (34 years) I was driving down the road and realized I was smack dab in front of a hospital that I have not seen in 29 years! This hospital is where they brought my husband when he fell 20 feet from a ladder while painting our home about 29 years ago. That was the one and only time I was in this town and at this hospital. This is where he was pronounced dead and when I looked around the area, I was immediately brought back to the day when I found out and had to drive those roads back to tell our children that he was not coming home that day. Something no one wants to do. The flood of emotions that I felt when I just saw this hospital shook me! I was very surprised at the emotion that came over me just by looking at this building that I have not seen in almost three decades. Obviously it is something I have not worked through emotionally. So what does a girl do??? Use this beautiful oil here! Release is a blend of oils that helps support a healthy liver and helps us work through and process the emotions that go along with negative experiences we go through in Add a few drops over your liver daily! When you come upon this situation, grab this amazing blend and apply it and sniff it to help your body work through these emotions from times long ago! Remember, emotions that are not dealt with get stored in our organs and if left without working through it, can cause disease later in life! Choose health!
Fun fact, the image of this bottle of Release Blend is an old label design back from when I started YL 14 years ago! The oil is still the same and still one of my favorites for aiding the body and liver in working through difficult emotions.
Facts about Young Living Sacred Frankincense you may not know.....
Do you know that Young Living oils are safe for babies and pets too? All kinds of pets like horses and cats and dogs and yes even goats and cows and then some.
My grandbabies (13 to date, soon to be 14) have been slathered with oils, all kinds and many drops since the moment they breathed their first breath. Yep, For many I was present at their births mostly in their homes and we put Frankincense on them the minute they were born! (Literally).
Why you ask?
Because Frankincense is the #1 oil for emotional trauma. (It’s traumatic being born) Yep, if you have experienced any of any kind, use it daily on the back of your brain stem or on your feet if you don’t like the smell. Do it consistently and daily for a period of several months, just one or two drops and watch what happens to your thinking! Really!
It’s also incredible for your immune system. It’s like having your immune system super charged so yeah, use a drop under your tongue or behind your ears daily as prevention or use several drops when it’s really needed.
It’s also beautiful for respiratory support. Y’all receive Frankincense in your Premium Starter kit when you start out with Young Living so drop 3-4 drops on your chest when it needs support every hour with your little bottle of Raven and be amazed. Consistency is key when your immune system is down. The Premium Starter Kit can be ordered even after your a customer, so if you need an inexpensive way to restock your oils and get a free diffuser, grab yourself one, its a steal of a deal at $165 for a diffuser and 12 oils!
Frankincense is also beautiful for your bones!!! It’s one of your go toos when you have a mishap and your bones need support and attention.
Do you also know that Frankincense has been known for thousands, yes thousands of years, for beauty and skin and an ageless look? Yep. It is incredible for those of us who like to age gracefully without a lot of wrinkles! Put a drop in your moisturizer daily as you apply it to your face and see how many compliments you get after a while!
It helps with cellular integrity. Yep. You can look that one up in pubmed.gov,
and there is lots of studies on it with YL Sacred Frankincense. Only ours is used in those studies.
It’s also great for when mishaps happen in life, severe or minor and your skin needs some attention. Yeah, like when I cut my wrist on sheet metal and ummmmm, that was not so fun but Frankincense and Helichrysum was my friend hourly for a week. Yes sir, it works!
Young Living is the only, yes ONLY company that is allowed to have Sacred Frankincense from Oman because of the tireless work Gary Young did to form a relationship with the Sultan (yep thats true) and his travels to there 15 times + to be able to build a distillery there and empower the locals the help us with this treasured oil. There is a whole book about it! It’s amazing. If you see this oil anywhere else, it’s a fake!
It’s also good for babies, before they are born when you rub it in your belly and after they are born and when they are crying and when they are happy and when they are toddlers and teething and when they are confused middle schoolers and especially when they are angry teens to confident college bound, to middle age to old age and I even slathered my brother with Frankincense hours before he died because in the Bible it’s a holy anointing oil. It’s amazing through all stages of life!
It’s also wonderful to calm you. Yes. Emotional calm, does anyone need that? It’s my number one oil that I personall use for that!
It’s also amazing for your eyes. Yes put a drop around the bony part of each eye daily and just be lovely and see your results after a few weeks. Consistency is key always when you want to experience change.
So it does so much more but check out Sacred Frankincense in your desk reference because it’s aaaahhhhhmazing!
AminoWise is an amino acid drink that helps crush your summer workout goals by replenishing minerals and muscle recovery.
Copaiba is one of our favorite oils in our house. We always try to have two on hand if possible. We use this in place of any over the counter pain meds and for digestive upset if we run out of Peppermint. 9 drops of Copaiba in a capsule and we feel relief. Our "discomfort bomb" that we have used for years and years for after surgeries or major injuries is a combination of 5 drops Copaiba, 5 drops Frankincense, 5 drops Idaho Grand Fir or Believe oil and 2 drops Clove in a capsule every 4 hours or as needed. Its been an incredible life saver not only for my own family but for thousands of Young Living members who enjoy this recipe.
My husband and I also both have had miniscus tears and so we make a well known knee blend with Copaiba, Lemongrass and Palo Santo. Let me know if you want the recipe, we also have it posted on our private members Facebook group. Its mixed with coconut oil and rubbed on daily. I could not go a day without it honestly. And it is also great for some intimate fun....wink, wink!!!!
Tea Tree is wonderful to create a hostile environment for fungal and infections. Its wonderful for acne prone skin and beautiful hair. It also helps keep the bugs away during the summer. Its got so many cleansing properties that it makes for an incredible oil on hand to keep for emergencies. It smells good in the diffuser with Lime too, to cleanse the air.
