Who would like to see our newest diffuser? I know who I am going to get this for already, she is soooo cute! Meet Shelly the Turtle!
What’s on the minds of most of us lately? 
I laugh when people say YL oils are too expensive! It’s like everything in life, knowledge is power and when you understand what’s in these little multi-tasker bottles is straight up money saving goodness! 
People spend a lot of money on lots of things, cough syrup, allergy meds, pet protection, prescrips galore, wound care, anti-BI-O-tics, emotional pills, and the list can go on and on.
Just this one bottle of Purification goodness here, does so many things in our home. Currently I am diffusing it in my garage because we had our baby chicks in our garage for weeks and the smell is 
so this beautiful oil blend digests odors from clothes, shoes, attics, smoke, fish, and chickens 
without putting any toxic chemicals into your air space. It is also free this month with our qualifying monthly promos.
so this beautiful oil blend digests odors from clothes, shoes, attics, smoke, fish, and chickens without putting any toxic chemicals into your air space. It is also free this month with our qualifying monthly promos. It also is great to spray on you and pets to keep the creepy crawler things off you during the summer, when your camping, hiking, playing and especially crawlers that like to cling to you and suck your blood, so it’s an outdoor spray for the whole family that doesn’t contain any CAN -CER causing ingredients for you or your pets.
It’s also great to rub on your glands when your not feeling well. It helps support your lymphatic system and cleanse all the things in your body when your body is struggling. When my youngest had emergency surgery 11 years ago, so put this on her feet every half hour in the hospital, along with other oils, to keep her body from catching anything that we did not want her to catch in the hospital.
That’s just a few ways we use this oil.
So next time you hear someone say Yl oils are too expensive, add up all those above items that you would have to buy to replace this little bottle here and realize what a gem you have. It works cellularly to create balance in the body, and your over the counter boxes can’t touch that 
So today I’m spraying this pup today to keep her safe outside and keep her from bringing in any unwanted guests on her fur and then I’m diffusing it in my house to get rid of the chicken smell.
Choose health! Be informed, when you know you know! 
What do these two bottles below have in common? One bottle is almost 10 years old and one bottle is new! I combined the oils in these two today BECAUSE our oils DONT expire!!!!
Our oils are pure so a bottle of oil tucked away in a drawer that you haven’t used in years is JUST as potent and great for your cellular integrity and ailments as is the new one you just bought. I’m consolidating oil bottles at my moms today. So glad we have a great product that lasts and doesn’t loose
its potency over time!!!!
Cheap oils don’t work at a cellular level. They are literally just a pretty scent. BUT Yes our Young Living oils work at a cellular level and create restoration and change in the body and don't have expiration dates. Dried herbs loose their potency in less than a year, and our pure oils last a lifetime!
Oily tip:
Did you know in 1922 when King Tut’s tomb was opened, 350 liters of Essential Oils were discovered in alabaster jars, as the jars were sealed by plant waxes, the Essential Oils were discovered to be in perfect condition.
Pure essential oils do NOT expire! Our labels do not have an expiration date on them because a pure unadulterated oil does not expire.
I talk about Digize a lot because its a powerhouse. Some of the uses I have currently used for it just this month is Digestive support when my stomach is feeling crummy, on my one month old nephews feet when he was screaming after he ate, on my feet when I went into a local lake (its great for all the things that could make you cringe when you are walking on the beach or in the dirt- I used to put it on my youngest feet daily because she loved to be barefoot daily) and I have used it as bug repellant because it was closer than my Purification bottle when I was going outside at night with the skeeters to water my garden. It kept all the nasties away! This oil is the bomb for people and for pets and is a must have to have on hand!
When people say YL is expensive.
Here is another money saving tip!!!!
When these vitality drops came out, I was a little aghast at the price. I usually am with some YL products until I experience their benefit and break down the cost.
So I don’t drink pop but I do drink iced tea or coffee when I go out to a restaurant. We all need to drink more water too. Does anyone struggle with that? I ordered these vitality drops when they first came out to try them so I could talk about if they were good or meh, and I definitely personally love them. This here is the Electrolyte version that I use all Summer long for hikes, biking, walking and generally being in the heat and they have an energy one that I love to get for my husband to keep him from drinking an excessive amount of coffee when he needs energy. All the flavors are amazing! Getting natural energy while drinking water, plus plus.
I am traveling soon and in planning what I am taking with, I know I will be in a hot where we are going (hence why we need more electrolytes) and I will need to eat out some while we are traveling.
So here is how I broke down the savings for me:
If I’m at a restaurant, at the MINIMUM a tea or coffee is 2-4 dollars anywhere, I am finding. Yes you get refills but still, it adds up and increases my bill. That’s just for one person and one drink. Yikes ....
When I just order water at a restaurant it costs ZERO dollars and I can add a squeeze of vitality drops and it will taste like a sweet, fun fruity drink.
I paid $30.25 dollars for a 3 pack of these vitality drops which sounds like a lot but in each bottle you get 24 servings.
When I take the 30.25 dollars and divide it by 72 servings in the 3 bottles that means I will get 72 drinks out of this 3 pack for .42 cents a piece.
You can’t even buy a stick of gum for .42 cents!!!!!
Saving money while choosing healthy products!!!! Order them on your Loyalty Order and I get $ 7.50 back to use on other products just from savings myself lots of money on drinks.
I’m also drinking LOTS more water because it tastes good. No artificial garbage, no artificial sweeteners which are neurotoxic, and electrolytes to keep me balanced when it’s warm out or natural energy when I buy the energy 3 pack.
Win, win, savings galore!
Choose health!!!!!
Minerals anyone?
Mineral Essence™ is an organic, liquefied ionic mineral complex with more than 60 very fine ionic minerals that assimilate much easier than minerals taken from other sources. Of course it also has the added benefit of our Lemon, Cinnamon bark and Peppermint essential oils to enhance their bioavailability. The minerals Gary chose to put in this product are essential for activating certain enzymes for
digestion and metabolic functions that promote a healthy digestive tract!
Now, I’m warning you that it can be pretty rough tasting to some people
(as are all respectable liquid mineral supplements i.e. minerals are not tasty). I always add it to my NingXia Red
and MindWise
combo, and maybe some extra Tangerine Vitality oil and throw it back. Be sure to keep it in the fridge after opening (and cold is better for taste anyhow) and it’s easy to remember next to your NingXia Red!
Years ago, I remember seeing a video of Diamond leader Nancy Knittle’s dog Boomer
and he would sit up and let them squirt Mineral Essence in his mouth! He loved it and it became a daily treat for him. Now, the back story to this is that this little poodle used to chew on rocks (which has its own obvious consequences) but he stopped after getting what his body was craving from Mineral Essence! When people chew ice, and certainly if they are chewing rocks, this can be an iron or a mineral deficiency. If we exercise a lot/in the heat, we hear about replacing our electrolytes (like those sold in nasty neon blue sports drinks), and electrolytes are minerals. A friend who is a cyclist is in really good shape. A few years ago, he was screened with a zyto compass after a 4-hour bike ride and it came up that he was out on 17 biomarkers… and 16 of those biomarkers were brought back into balance by the suggestion of Mineral Essence and the last one with MultiGreens. The perfect experiment to see what we need to replenish ourselves with after exertion! Gotta replace those minerals we sweat out!
Although we should get most of our minerals from food, so many of our food sources (and I’m talking fresh, organic foods even) can be grown in very nutrient-poor soil and therefore have very little of the minerals previously known to be in our veggies and fruits. Not only is the soil devoid of most minerals now, it is heavily polluted with chemicals.
We must have minerals, vitamins and enzymes for our body to actually carry out its myriad of functions that keep us alive. So, I do supplement with Mineral Essence to be sure I have the catalysts for millions of reactions throughout the body. I grew up with my maternal grandma telling me she did not take supplements because she got what she needed from her food. Now, she did have a great diet FULL of fruits and veggies but the soil and our diets just aren't the same anymore. It is the quality of the produce that is the key. And, unless we are growing it ourselves and have the soil tested, we don’t really know the vitamin and mineral content of the broccoli or swiss chard or spinach that we purchase each week at the store.
We have major-player minerals like Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Sulfur and Chloride that we can get in bigger doses in our YL products Super Cal Plus, Sulfurzyme and Alkalime.
But then we have our trace minerals that are crucial to the body for intricate functions of enzyme reactions, hormone production, metabolic processes. If you want to know more, go research how important trace minerals are to our bodies. You’ll be gulping down Mineral Essence after a little stint on your search engine.
Need some help on the energy bus? Try it in the morning.
Need some support for muscle twitching at night? Try it in the evening.
Do it for 30 days and you will FEEL the difference it makes in your life.
So, if you haven’t tried it before, get it on your next order and make it your daily habit. Your cells and organs will thank you!
Please reach out to us if you have questions about your Young Living products, how to use them, how to save money, and any issues that arise with your account.

It May!!! Spring shower bring May flowers and itchy eyes and sniffles and sneezes and all the uncomfortable issues with pollen and grass. Remember to use last months seasonal trio (5 drops of Peppermint, 5 drops of Lemon, 5 drops of Lavender) in a capsule every 4 hours OR check out our new Season Essentials to help with those irritating seasonal issues. Its our newest blend!!!!
I am currently sitting in the hospital with my mom who is 94 next week. She is my health mentor and has taught me so much about living naturally but she put her hand on a stack of books to steady herself when she was bringing food to the table and the books slipped out from under her and she went down too. As I have been sitting in the hospital with her all week, trying to navigate next steps with a parent who needs much care, I went to add this order to my account. Not only is our Cortistop supplement needed to help me handle the emotional stress and rising cortisol levels that this is causing in my body, but I am placing an order for Trauma Life to help with just the taxing issues that will be surfacing as we move forward as a family. Have you heard of Trauma Life? It is great to apply to your newborn babies after birth because it is incredibly traumatic being born, and everything else from witnessing something traumatic to experiencing something traumatic or the loss of a loved one, a career, a home, or just the dream of a life that you no longer have.
Trauma Life is perfect for when life throws curve balls at you or the pain is deep!
My children and I have been through more than our fair share of things not going as planned in life, quick traumatic changes to life and so much intense and unexpected loss. I feel like so many are going through that right now. But, with all that, we know we have a great God who is in control as well as these amazing oils that can help our emotional state. The oils reach the limbic system of the brain and can calm, restore and even help release these tough spots in life that we all encounter.
Trauma Life was originally created at the request of actor Steven Seigal, renowned actor, director and producer, for his volunteer work in hospital trauma centers.
Trauma Life is an amazing oil that is a natural blend of pure Sandalwood, Helichrysum, Rose, and other essential oils designed to offer support during difficult emotional exploration and great for beautiful skin.
Do you know someone who has experienced incredible suffering and Trauma? Along with seeking a good counselor, research and look into the amazing benefits of using essential oils during the process. There are many to help in this area. Check your desk reference under trauma.
Remember, when experiencing a traumatic event, you may not like the smell of the oils your body needs. If you use them regardless, I encourage people to use them on the feet daily, you will see your body's natural changes as well as you will start to LOVE the smell of the oils being used. Really!!!!
Just some oils to suggest when dealing with difficult emotions:
Trauma Life - apply on the forehead, palms of your hand and smell and inhale deeply. Daily.
Frankincense - apply on the bottom of the big toe daily
Release - apply over liver daily
Joy - apply over the heart daily
3 Wise Men - put on the crown of your head daily
SARA - stands for Sexual and Ritual Abuse - apply on temples
Peace and Calming - apply on palms and inhale deeply daily
Tranquil Roll On - Apply on the neck behind the ears
Forgiveness and Hope and Envision are also wonderful blends to use daily.
We are not suggesting you use all of the above, just choose the one or two that stand out to you and apply and use daily for some amazing emotional support!
Oil up, stay well, choose health and wholeness in mind and body!
Our next oil spotlight is KUNZEA. You may not have heard of this oil but it is a beauty!
I have used this oil and it’s aaahhhmazing!
The Kunzea plant is native to the southern coast of Australia and Tasmania and has often been referred to as the “white cloud” because of its white and pink flowers. Native cultures have used the many benefits of the Kunzea plant for centuries. Animals will sleep under the plant when they want a more peaceful outdoor experience and it attracts native insects, birds, and small animals. Kunzea is often compared to Tea Tree essential oil because of its similar uses and properties; however, Kunzea has a more pleasing and refreshing aroma.
How do you use Kunzea?
• Diffuse! When diffused, Kunzea helps to create a relaxed atmosphere and a refreshing aromatic experience. It also purifies the air from unwanted odors with its clean, crisp smell!
• Apply it to your fatigued muscles after exercise. Kunzea is high in the naturally occurring constituents alpha-pinene and eucalyptol. Add a few drops to a carrier oil and massage away!
• Reduce the appearance of blemishes. Add it to your daily skin care routine and apply topically to your face.
• Add a few drops to your Thieves Household Cleaner when cleaning your home, you’ll love the additional freshness.
• Stinky shoes? Add a few drops to your shoes to help get rid of those nasty smells.

I personally love to use it to stay healthy and enjoy the calming smell on my wrists and neck. If you have not tried it, I highly suggest.
ART SKIN CARE TRIO
Do you love your skin? May is a wonderful time to splurge on a special woman in your life; a mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend and share the gift of beautiful skin.
What is your beauty routine? What do you spend monthly?
I do not do much for my skin, I never have, but I had started using organic products now that I am older. I have always had baby skin but it changes ladies as we age! Right?
I started using Young Living Skin care 9 years ago after attending a beauty class and after trying all the products at the class, I transferred from my organic line to YL because it works much better and their quality has their Seed to Seal guarantee behind it so I know its clean. I have very sensitive skin and there are so many commercial products I cannot use.
I priced out what I pay for the Art skin care set. It lasts me about 4 months .$127 divided by 4 = $31.75
Per month for all natural skin care that does not harm but actually nourishes your skin with oils as you age. Something we all want.
I also bought this Rose oil, years ago years ago and still have several drops, I use one drop when my skin is struggling or for other emergencies. It has the highest Megahurtz of any oil. 320Mhtz . What does that do for you? It feeds and energizes your cells and brings life and clarity to your body. Check out Rose oil in your desk reference and see all the amazing properties it has for your body and mostly your skin. It is truly incredible! It is $214.75 for this little gem but I calculated over two years and that's 8.91 a month and even cheaper if it lasts you longer than that. It was my gift to myself back then and it keeps on giving. I never let my children touch it. I have used it when I needed extra energy and clarity and found it to be amazing!
To end this months newsletter, A requested repost! Enjoy!

According to Dr. Royal R. Rife, every disease has a frequency. He found that certain frequencies can prevent the development of disease and that others would destroy disease. Substances with higher frequency will destroy diseases of a lower frequency. The study of frequencies raises an important question, concerning the frequencies of substances we eat, breathe and absorb. Many pollutants lower healthy frequency. Processed/canned food has a frequency of zero. Fresh produce has up to 15 Hz, dried herbs from 12 to 22 Hz and fresh herbs from 20 to 27 Hz.
Essential oils start at 52 Hz and go as high as 580 Hz. Clinical research shows that therapeutic grade essential oils have the highest frequency of any natural substance known to man, creating an environment in which disease, bacteria, virus, fungus, etc., cannot live.
Idaho Blue Spruce is at a whopping 580 MHZ.
Idaho Blue Spruce is also great to help balance hormones for men, especially when they are despondent and are no longer engaged, works well on teen boys too. It is great for the immune system, nervous system and helps support the adrenal glands.

April is here and Spring is upon the Midwest! If you struggle with the seasonal changes in the air, sniffling, sneezing, itchy eyes, please remember to use our beloved Seasonal Blend that people in Young Living have been using for well over the 13 years that I have been with Young Living. 5 drops each of Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, in a gelatin capsule and take internally every 4 hours or as needed. It also works to support healthy digestion and lymphatic system and you can use the oils separately too for soooo many other things, that is why we call our oils the great multi-taskers. One bottle of Lavender helps keep bugs away, helps you sleep, creates a hostile environment to fungus and bacteria internally. helps with skin irritation of all kinds, cuts and scrapes, cellular integrity and sooo much more. Its known as the Swiss Army knife of oils. Be sure to only use YL Lavender, as Lavender is the widest known adulterated oil and there is actually more Lavender sold then there is grown because there are so many synthetic versions out there. If you purchased an off brand of Lavender that smells sweet like candy, its synthetic. And, Young Living oils don't expire because they are pure, unadulterated and have no chemicals or herbicides or pesticides used on the crops. They are safe to ingest for just that reason.
Every month we have a giveaway and all we do is ask for feedback or testimonials from you. No purchase is ever necessary. For the month of April, we will be giving away a bottle of Sleepessence. In order to enter your name, just let us know either on our Facebook education page or by replying to this email, and let us know what your favorite oils are to use for sleep? Or if you have not tried any for sleep yet, what are the oils you would like to try for the first time? When you answer one of these questions, your name is entered into this months drawing!
Sleepessence testimony from a flight attendant!
I’m fortunate to not have much difficulty sleeping, however, as a flight attendant I’m constantly working odd hours and have no real consistency in my sleep schedule. I’ve always taken Sleepessence with me on my trips in case I’m having trouble falling asleep in hotels. I usually only take it in abnormal circumstances like that, but this past week I happened to be home all week and took it every night to try to catch up on quality sleep while I had the chance.
Every night that I’ve taken it I have slept so deeply for 9-10 hours without waking up at all in the night! Even though I’m normally a good sleeper without it, I typically sleep 7-8 hours and wake up at least once or twice. I know not everyone has the luxury of sleeping this long, but if you have any trouble falling or staying asleep you need to try this!!
2nd Testimonial - My son-in-law was having a terrible time staying asleep. He just has too much energy and needs to wake up very early morning for his job and wanted to get and stay asleep sooner and just wasn't having success. They bought a bottle of Sleepessence last month and it is recommended to take 2 capsules, but he decided to take one instead and didn't even remember falling asleep. He slept long and hard and couldn't believe it. He doesn't even feel like he needs to take the two capsules to get the rest he needs.
I have been using my Itovi Scanner a lot recently to help people see what their body needs nutritionally. One of the products that has come up for many has been Mineral Essence. I think we, as a society, are very mineral deficient. I know when I crave chocolate more than usual, I just take magnesium glycenate at night and the cravings are gone. It is the same for leg cramps or charlie horses. Young Living has an incredible Mineral blend that has so many benefits. It is great to put into a shot glass of juice or your morning Ningxia or you can actually put it in your bath water or apply it to your skin topically and get the same benefit.
Mineral Essence™ is an organic, liquefied ionic mineral complex with more than 60 very fine ionic minerals that assimilate much easier than minerals taken from other sources. Of course it also has the added benefit of our Lemon, Cinnamon bark and Peppermint essential oils to enhance their bioavailability.

We have major-player minerals like Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Sulfur and Chloride that we can get in bigger doses in our YL products Super Cal Plus, Sulfurzyme and Alkalime.
But then we have our trace minerals that are crucial to the body for intricate functions of enzyme reactions, hormone production, metabolic processes. If you want to know more, go research how important trace minerals are to our bodies. You’ll be gulping down Mineral Essence after a little stint on your search engine.
Need some help on the energy bus? Try it in the morning.
Need some support for muscle twitching at night? Try it in the evening.Do it for 30 days and you will FEEL the difference it makes in your life.
So, if you haven’t tried it before, get it on your next order and make it your daily habit. Your cells and organs will thank you!
CORTISTOP
Stressed? I feel like this is an understatement for almost all of us right now.
When life gives you tomatoes 
Use Cortistop to help people that need a little help with the jitters or when life is throwing you some hard stuff and you are staying in that flight or fight mode! 
Do you know it’s not healthy to stay in the fight or flight mode? It actually weakens your muscle tissue? It causes stress on your cardiovascular system too!
It helps women or men of all ages, but especially as us ladies get older and experiencing “changes”!!!!
Choose health, choose prevention!

Spring is coming and the holiday overeating is over and so many of us want to get healthy before consistent warm weather hits. Personally I find it much easier to eat healthy when its warmer weather, how about you? A salad just doesn't cut it when its snowing here in the Midwest.
The world seems a little topsy turvey at the moment but there are things we can do to help us feel our best so we can handle the stress and do it on a budget to save our sanity and pocketbook.
I went through a major over-hall in my health about 13 years ago, after loosing my husband and my daughter, stress was so high for so long that I was having major unexplained pain issues in my body, brain fog, times of high anxiety and fatigue that was unbearable. Stress is detrimental to our health. YL Cortistop helps our body lower our Cortisol levels when life situations are out of control.
I was still homeschooling 4 other kids and working part time as a single mama and I was told by a doctor that I had MS. Before I had any testing done, I decided to go cold turkey and take out sugar and grains, (I was already dairy free) and after going through two weeks of major withdrawals (sugar withdrawal is a real thing people, its not for the faint of heart) and by week 3 I was like a new person. I had clear thinking like I hadn't had in years, I had NO pain, no numbness, and the fatigue was a thing of the past. It was quite incredible to see how quickly the body responded to those changes. Initially I vowed to only do those changes for 3 weeks just as a trial basis but my body felt so good at the 3 week point, I didn't want to go back. I now eat mostly paleo, and definitely gluten free and if I have sugar its only in the form of coconut sugar or Maple Syrup or honey, no processed white sugar of any kind, and my body likes it that way. I honestly didn't like most of the baked goods I ate at that time, there was a period of a month or two where I had to figure out how to bake things that I liked, but now days, there is lots of paleo baked goods you can buy if your not a baker like me. I ultimately enjoy my food way more now, as its nutrient dense and satisfying, rather than empty carbs that make me bloated, angry and feeling sluggish.
I am hosting a FREE 30 days of Sugar Free Starting April 1st. Normally I do this on Facebook in a private group but I have been having issues with Facebook so I am doing a drop campaign via email for this upcoming April challenge. If you would like to join us, you will get daily facts on sugar that will BLOW your mind and make you read labels like never before. We have had people get pregnant after a month of no sugar, arthritis pain disappear, brain fog clear, and people loose weight too. You will start to receive emails the last week in March to prepare you, and give you alternatives to beat the sugar cravings. There is nothing in it for me, I just love to help people see how good they can feel when they ditch the sugar for just 30 days and see for themselves how their body responds.
Here is the link for the 30 Days of Sugar Free group....https://getoiling.com/ceciliabruce/events/15535/sugar-free-for-30-days-aprils-challenge
I always recommend people ditching the chemicals out of their home before tackling their diet, as the first step in getting their health in order. The chemicals in our household cleaning products and personal care products are so detrimental to good health, you would just be stunned at how many carcinogens are in products that are advertised as good for your family and home. If you have never been a label reader, I would definitely start. There is a lot of green washing in advertising, meaning they say its plant based, all natural, but when you look into the ingredients, those are all just "good advertising" words. You need to be a savvy shopper if you want to make your health a priority.
Please watch the movie "Stink" to get informed about chemicals in our household! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk6elw_VGB0
I know it mattered to me when I was raising my kids to keep all the harmful junk out of our home because their futures mattered more than a star bucks coffee, that cable tv show, or that extra handbag. I made so many sacrifices as a single mama and went without a lot of extra things that I may have enjoyed because I wanted my kids to know how to take care of their health by modeling it myself, and I wanted to have healthy future grandbabies, and my kids to have healthy futures, so sacrifices had to be made. Now, I am an empty-nester and I get to watch my babies have their babies and it has been a great payoff seeing the other side of it.
I grew up with a wise mama who didn't use chemicals when I was young. She used one natural cleaner that I personally didn't like the smell of or the film it left on things, but it didn't have harmful chemicals in it and she also used vinegar and water. I do use vinegar for a few specific things but coming home to a house that smelled like vinegar has made me quite adverse to using it to clean my house. It triggers things, have you had that with certain smells? I always vowed to have a nice smelling home, not one that hit people in the face with a vinegar smell upon entering. But, I am so grateful to my mom for having cared about us enough to be mindful to keep the harmful chemicals out, even 50+ years ago.
The number one thing you can do to start cleaning up your home and health is to ditch the cleaning products. I used to clean houses and after cleaning one house with the owners products, I just told all my clients after that, that I was using Thieves cleaner and if they didn't like it, I would have to quit. My lungs hurt so bad using the commercial cleaners, the headaches were so intense and I was not about to harm my health to clean someones home. It was such a dramatic difference immediately in how I felt daily when I started using my Thieves recipes to clean the homes I was paid to clean. Not only did the families love it, I kept my health in tact.
Thieves cleaner is by far one of the cheapest ways to clean your home. A $22 bottle of concentrate will last you atleast 6 months and you will get all of your household cleaning needs done with this one cleaner, and baking soda. Do you know that I have even sprayed my stinky dogs with Thieves cleaner when they need a quick fur freshener? My kids and grandkids can help clean with it and I have no worry of them getting it in their mouth of eyes, no warning label to call poison control. I can wash my floors and have a baby crawling on it minutes later and know that there is nothing harmful in it to get onto their little hands. Not only is it safe, it is the most effective natural cleaner I have ever used, and I have tried ALL the brands since I started having my own kids over 30 years ago. I am attaching a Thieves cleaner document that I hope serves you well, and please reach out if there is a cleaner that you want to replace that this document doesn't cover. Thieves cleaner is the only cleaner in my home for every surface, every floor, carpet, oven, mirror, wall and toilet and shower. I am even including a DIY bleach that is more effective than any regular bleach I have ever used and again its not harmful to kids or pets. I have gotten rust stains out of fabric by using this DIY bleach recipe, and pit stains out of white shirts. Please reach out if you need more direction. I love helping people find success in their healthy choices.
Next, ditch the commercial personal care products. I use YL and I hack all of them from shampoo, to mouth wash, to facial moisturizers so they all last double or triple the amount of time to save money but if you need to find alternatives, just make sure you are keeping away from anything that has a dangerous chemicals and especially Fragrance. There are lots of DIY recipes out there too! Fragrance on a label could mean over 300 different chemicals, and which ones is anyones guess. My son in law just started using goat milk soap from a local farmer when he and my daughter got married and a terrible systemic rash he had for years went away with him changing out his soap and shampoo. It was such a dramatic difference.
We will be doing a Chemical Free class on our NEW You Tube Channel this weekend, please follow our channel and like and subscribe as we move forward and teach on gardening, homeschooling, living through grief (loosing a child and spouse) single parenting, faith, woodworking, and of course all things Young Living oils. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHt7r5E8z3Bu6DdGdE7D7vA
Next up in cleaning out your home and improving your health, what do you use for the every day bumps, bruises, or health emergencies in your home? Do you know that Young Living has been used in millions of households around the globe for almost 30+ years for everything from ear discomfort, stomach and digestive challenges, things grabbing ahold of our immune system and challenging it, sleep disruption, head tension, heart support, liver support, kidney support, back discomfort and injury, brain clarity, trauma (physical and emotional) injuries, tissue repair, skin issues (severe and non) bleeding, hormonal issues, emotional restoration, nerve issues and the list can go on and on. Because we see essential oils at the dollar store, (YUCK) and Target and even gas stations (double yuck) advertised as calming and relaxing that make your home smell great, we think of them as only a
way to keep our house smelling good. The essential oils you buy online, get at a local TJ Maxx or health food store, are not safe to ingest like YL has since its inception, they are not safe to apply to your skin, like YL has been since its inception, and although they say you can diffuse them, I personally would not. They are fractionated, they are distilled with solvents like Hexane to increase the yield so that the companies can sell them cheap and still make a profit, and unlike YL, they don't boost your mood or your immune system when diffused as they don't have any ability to work at a cellular function like Young Living oils. Because the FDA only requires 5% of an essential oil to be in a bottle in order for it to be labeled 100% pure, it could be dangerous to even diffuse these cheap grade oils.
Do you know Young Living has the only extensive research facility to know when to harvest, plant and distill each plant. Take Melissa oil, people complain its so expensive, but it only has a two week harvest window and then once the harvesters start cutting the plant, it cannot touch the ground so workers have to walk alongside the harvest machine to keep the plant from touching the ground so that the oil produced has all the constituents that make Melissa do for our immune system, or digestive system and to fight all the viral loads that it is known for. If you have visited the Melissa farm like I have, and see how much time and effort and research that goes into that plant, you would treasure every drop. I have had two bottles of Melissa in my 13 years and I make sure to use it sparingly and only when needed for emergency issues and I have only had to buy it twice. I encourage you to save up your points for that precious bottle of oil to have on hand for all kinds of emergencies. Cheap oils don't work and pure oils aren't cheap for a reason. When you buy IKEA furniture it is cheap because its made cheaply, when you buy a hand crafted Amish table, you know and see and feel the difference and it can be passed down through generations because of its durability and craftsmanship.
Here I am at the Melissa Farm talking with the Farmers. The Farm is nestled between mountain peeks and is so beautiful and serine. Everyone is invited to visit ANY of our farms worldwide and see for yourself how we harvest, distill and bottle our precious oils.
Young Living oils aren't just a pretty scent, start using them along with your desk reference to tackle every ailment in your home and be amazed, and see how much money you save with co-pays and OTC items. Your Young Living oils are also easy to travel with for ease of use in any and all situations. I'm heading to California in two days to see a new grand-baby be born and knowing I can take my healthcare in a small bag on the plane gives me much assurance. AND our YL oils don't expire.
My top Emergency Wellness kit items below- I suggest using your points from your Loyalty rewards for much of this, or just by one item each month on loyalty and rack up your points for something you want. I buy my health related oils and supplements monthly and then I use my loyalty points for skin care and Frankincense. Remember, Loyalty Orders are never required, but sure are profitable along with the free promo items Young Living gives us monthly. Its a win win, all around and you will see your health care budget decrease when you start using your oils as they are intended.
Ancient oils of Scripture Kit, a must have for the bomb of oils it has, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Myrrh, Cedarwood, and many more. These are all amazing emergency oils for soooo many accidents and emergencies that come up in the home.
Cedarwood - use it in your diffuser at night to sleep so well, for loosing your hair in our Hair tonic recipe, and a drop on the pituitary gland daily before bed will do wonders for your brain. It is the cheapest ($13.00) brain supporting oil we have. It keeps pesky bug away too.
DiGize - all things digestive for dogs and people. Like all things, do you know that YL tested toxic - round up treated land in a research project they did and they tested the soil before and then used DiGize to treat the land and then the land tested back to organic status after the use of the DiGize on the land? Yep, DiGIze is amazing and is also in our Fruit and Veggie wash for the very reason they did this experiment. Wash all your fruits and veggies and keep this stuff on hand. DiGize is great for babies on the belly when digestive upset hits when they are feeding.
RC is our emergency breathing go to.. For all things lung related, breathing related, whether chronic or situational, its the bomb. Apply a drop to the chest daily to help open up the airways before exercising and use hourly when needed in desperate situations. It helped my 3 month old grandson recently breathe easy and give his parents a sigh of relief.
Helichrysum, I know its costly but this isn't for diffusing or using daily. This is literally my emergency oil for bleeding, and anything tissue or nerve related. Its the BOMB. Really. I keep it in the safe and no one touches it unless they are in serious need of it.
GLF Liver and Gallbladder support. Gary's regimen was 5 drops daily in a capsule. It stands for Gallbladder and Liver Flush. This isn't an oil you need daily, except during a time when you need to flush things out and get your liver working well, but it is definitely an Emergency oil and is just needed when your liver and gallbladder are struggling,
Juniper oil and K&B tonic for kidneys and bladder. Just know it works, fast and well. When and if I need it, (I don't use them daily, only in desperate times) I use the entire bottle of K&B until its finished (3x a day until bottle is gone) and 3-4 drops of Juniper in a capsule or topically over bladder.
This is not a YL item and this does not replace medical advice but Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar for kidney stones with Lemon juice. When in pain, take 1 tbs of braggs vinegar in water with lemon juice and honey every couple hours to break apart stone and it actually works fast to ease the pain, it really works, and then after doing that for a week or two and you know the stone has passed, take 1 tsp daily with lemon and honey for prevention. Its simple, easy and cheap.
Purification - when anything needs to be purified, there are many oils that do that but for sticking to a budget and for the most bang for your buck, Purification. Purification is used widely to diffuse when your house smells like fish or leftover bacon, and I love diffusing 8 drops to take the odors out of the room or ANYTHING. For items that are stinky, take a few cotton balls with 4-5 drops of Purification on them and stick them in a vaccum bag or any kind of bag that seals and let your items sit for a few days with the Purification balls in it and you will have some amazingly clean smelling sports equipment, work socks and boots, family heirlooms like have been in a musty attic, or items that have been overtaken by cigarrette smoke and the smell won't come out. Purification actually digests the odors and doesn't cover them up. After a few days of using Purification, you wont have any issues at all. AND I also use it on the bottom of the feet daily, several times a day when feeling under the weather. It is great to help the lymph system get moving and rid itself of unwanted gunk. Its a powerful and beautiful oil. It helped keep my daughter healthy when she was in the hospital.
Thieves for all immune related issues. Feeling under the weather? Put a drop of Thieves on your thumb and hold it to the roof of your mouth. Sound crazy? It works, do it every hour and it works, really! That sublingual action is powerful. I love putting 5 drops in a capsule or tsp of honey and taking it every couple hours when I need to travel or feel yucky. Also, putting a drop in your warm tea with honey when your feeling achy or diffusing it when the whole house is coming down with something, its the best way to get your family back up and running.
And my number one oil for trauma is Frankincense but whatever oil you love that calms you like Valor, Kidspower, Lavender, Trauma Life, Joy, Tranquil Roll-on, Stress Away, keep a bottle on hand for when things come up and you need help with your emotions. Unlike cheap oils, Young Living oils work at a cellular level and can reach the brain to help with emotions, trauma, and retraining your brain by helping you work through issues that need to be dealt with. When you do not deal with your emotions, your body stores those traumatic memories and emotions in your organs which can lead to disease later on in life. If the state of the world has you bound up in hard emotions, I would encourage you to grab a bottle of Orange, it is very inexpensive and has powerful effects for our emotions. Using it daily preventatively will have a profound effect on how you deal with daily situations.
When purchasing vitamins, I would just encourage you to research the brands your using and never buy vitamins from the grocery store, no matter what brand you go with, make sure they have little fillers and no sugars. The gummy vitamins that are all the rage have very little vitamin nutrients in them and are filled with food dyes and sugars to make them taste good. They are of very little help to the person or child taking them. Aside from daily vitamins, the most beloved supplements that my home cannot do without - SULFURZYME (for healthy bones, skin, joints and discomfort) and helps the body produce more glutathione and helps the body's detoxification processes work effiently. MULTI-GREENS - just 3 a day is the equivalent of 5 servings of green leafy vegetables and its got Melissa in it for the digestive benefits. CARDIOGIZE - great for heart healthy support. ILLUMINEYES - great for eye health, to help with long exposures to devices and aging eye health related issues. COMFORTONE - helps keep the intestinal track swept clean.
Lastly, the great thing about all that I have talked about above, this is not only great for our family but our pets too. I have a great animal desk reference that I have had for years and any pet issue we deal with, we use our oils and have always had success. We use the oils on our garden, our dogs, and even our chickens. So the oils not only work for us, they work for our pets and to keep our home healthy!
Please reach out if you need assistance with your orders, shipping, or product usage. If you would like to host a local or online oil class to take advantage of YL March Gathering discount, please let us know. For the entire month of March, the host will save 15% off of their order of $100 or more and every participant in the classes receives free shipping with a 100 pv order.
