Check out my latest video on "Dealing with difficult emotions and stress". I hope it blesses you: https://youtu.be/5EdbIqzK5N4?si=0lAiGyp3pGGmy42s
Many are experiencing tough times in the world right now for so many different reasons. I raised my kids almost solely as a single parent after being widowed until getting remarried 4 years ago. I not only learned how to keep my kids and myself healthy with our Young Living products, I was constantly looking for ways to do it on a budget especially before Young Living became my full time income. I wanted to share how to use the top single oils that are under $25 dollars to get the best bang for your buck and to get the benefits of some of the most powerful oils you can get your hands on. I have shared before that I got started with Young Living because I needed something to assist with my middle daughter after she was struggling mentally after her older sister died tragically. I did not want to medicate her, but was at a loss as to what to do. I attended a Young Living class at a friends home and she shared the uses of the oils. I started with the oil of Joy and Stress Away which are both great for people struggling emotionally, that are despondent and hopeless, and I witnessed such a big change by having my daughter use it daily, proactively, that I was hooked and dove into a desk reference to see what all the oils can do. My story has been life changing ever since.
But, at that time, I did not have the extra money to buy oils monthly. Zero, Zilch, Nada, for anything extra. But I did have a budget for vitamins so I did a swap of the vitamins I was buying online for Young Living vitamins after having a natropath check the quality of the Young Living vitamins and gave a thumbs up for quality and purity. So I jumped on Loyalty and just ordered my vitamins monthly and received half off on shipping, woohoo, and then with the cash back that I received, I started redeeming it for a free oil, then two and then more. This helped me build my wellness stash and as I started to share Young Living and creating an income, I was able to order more on Loyalty and get the free promotional products that Young Living generously gives us each month on top of redeeming the points I had, $1 for $1 for more free product. Placing an order monthly on Loyalty is never required to have a Young Living account, but with $50 as the minimum to earn points, (10% back for the first three months, 20% back for the next 2 years, and 25% back indefinitely after year 2), and 1/2 off on shipping, it is always the best way to save money. If you are $4.00 away from the $50 minimum, I encourage people to toss a $6 vitality oil on to make the minimum or a Young Living lip balm, the best lip balm that will ever touch your lips, I guarantee!!!
Let's get started with how to use the most inexpensive oils with Young Living. Our oils are grown with our Seed to Seal guarantee. Did you know that Young Living will not purchase land for a farm unless it has not had chemicals used on it for 50 years? Organic status only requires 5 years. We also hand weed on our farms, or use goats. We never use any pesticides or chemicals used to treat the weeds, or to extract more oil from the plants like many commercial oils do. Did you know that the FDA only requires 5% of an oil to be in a bottle of essential oil in order for it to be labeled "pure"? So if you are opting for a cheaper oil, what you pay for is what you get and they can cause harm because of the impurity and the preservatives most companies use. Young Living oils go through rigorous testing and if they don't pass the test for having all the constituents that the plant should have, we do NOT sell our rejected oils, we put them back in the earth.
Ok, I am ready to get started...really! I bet you didn't know.....
15ml of Orange oil ($12.50) Just a few drops is amazing to add to your moisturizer for beautiful skin, 7 drops in a diffuser at bedtime is wonderful for a great nights sleep, several drops can be added to your water for flavor or to a vanilla milk shake for a creamsicle flair, and one of its super powers is emotionally calming on a budget! The smell of this oil makes me smile!
15ml of Cedarwood ($13.00) is the brainpower that we all need daily. Its wonderful for adults and kids alike that have a hard time sitting still, focusing their brain. Put it in a roller ball to help the child that cannot get it all together. It also helps with all the teen facial breakouts and it is the bomb for a deep good nights sleep. It pulls you into sleep and you won't know what hit you. Love on your brain and grab a bottle. We order it monthly to never run out.
15ml of Lemongrass ($13.00) has historically been used for purifying (think all the odors) and digestion. It is wonderful to put in a capsule to help with digestive upset but my husband and I make a knee blend for our aging knees with Palo Santo, Copaiba, and Lemongrass and oh man is it soothing and helps us walk freely without discomfort. It is wonderful for all the muscles and I regularly put it on my husbands back when he has a hard day at work to soothe the system. It loves to support a healthy bladder and those nasty sinus irritations!
15ml of Lemon ($13.00) Let's just think focus and energy and immune goodness. Did you know there are studies out there by colleges that show that Lemon oil diffused during testing resulted in higher test scores by up to 50%? It helps you retain information because its a wake up call for your brain and energizing to the mind. It is great to diffuse in the morning when you need your family to wake up and get moving for the day and during homework time after school. Just do not diffuse it for bedtime!!!! When taken internally it helps with lymphatic cleansing and it boosts your immune system. I regularly use a few drops in my water to make it taste better and love on my digestive system.
5ml of Lavender vitality ($13.50) Did you know our Vitality labels are the same pure oils as in their colored labels but they are only in 5 ml bottles and labeled for internal use so we can satisfy gov regulations? The government agency came out and told us in 2014 that we cannot label internal use and topical use on the same label so we created vitality to satisfy this requirement even though its the same oil in both bottles. This is the same oil as the 15ml Lavender for all the beautiful reasons we use Lavender. Its been known as the Swiss Army knife of essential oils for decades. It does it all; sleep, owie care, bug bite butter and deterrent, calms the emotions and helps soothe sun kissed skin. Best of all, when added to Lemon and Peppermint in a capsule, it helps all the seasonal irritations that many go through in the spring and fall with the itchy, water eyes, sniffles and sneezes.
15ml of Lime ($14.00) Its a party in your guacamole when you don't have limes in the house! It is wonderful and so inexpensive to diffuse for happy emotions, supporting your respiratory system so you can breathe easy on the cheap! It helps boost your immune system so it can fight all the things.
15ml of Eucalyptus Globulus ($16.50) Do you like to breathe? Do you have sore feet at the end of the day? My husband applies this to his chest daily, before going to work where he works with lots of dust, debri in the air, and lots of construction guys who sneeze, cough and spit. This oil loves on your lungs but guess what? I also apply it to his feet and spine when he gets home from work to soothe his aching muscles and feet. He says it provides immediate relief! Its not just for lungs!
15 ml of Pine ($17.25) Does anyone remember Pinesol? Well, that was the chemical version of this beautiful oil. This bottle of goodness helps with emotional balance, its cortisone-like, assists with sinus' and bladder support, muscle relaxant and difficulties with lungs. Its wonderful to diffuse, apply on the spine or bottom of your feet. And people will want to be around you, because you will smell like a walk in the forest.
15ml of Clove ($17.75) Think fall scents and the warmth of winter. Every house needs a bottle of Clove. It is a hot oil so keep it to the bottom of your feet or in a capsule for internal use. Think immune system support on steroids. This gem is needed to fight all the things that we come in contact with that we don't want. It is so soothing to diffuse, and helps support a healthy sleep because it calms the mind. It is a natural cleanser and if you don't like the smell, add 5 drops to a capsule to help support your system. You don't want to go a day without having this in your home for emergencies, when you drop under the wellness line, or when your family is driving you crazy and you need some peace of mind.
15ml of Rosemary ($18.00) Do you remember when? Did you forget already? Rosemary is great for your memory!!!!! Apply one drop to your temples daily! It is also liver protective, helps the bodies natural response to inflammation, helps support healthy lungs and I put it in my DIY hair tonic that I spray in my hair daily after my shower for my lovely locks!
15ml of Wintergreen (20.50) This is a great oil that helps one calm down, especially the vascular system!!! Early settlers in America used to have their children chew the leaves each spring for several weeks to help prevent tooth decay. It was also used in place of black tea during the war. Now that our history lesson is over, you need to look this oil up in your desk reference because its got too many amazing uses that we cannot discuss here. Like, when your angry and your blood pressure goes up, Wintergreen would be amazing to apply to the spine or bottom of your feet. Its a beautiful oil and helps assist with stressed and sore muscles and ligaments too. Look it up, really!!!
15ml of Cypress ($22.25) Do you like to drink water? Think of Cypress as the water stealer. It helps remove it when its in excess in the body. Its wonderful to apply to the spine after a long day or to add to some coconut oil and apply to the calves when they are overworked and full. Your circulation will love you for it and so will your liver. It is also part of the Raindrop so your muscles benefit too.
15ml of Citronella ($22.50) Now everyone thinks of bugs when we say Citronella. I get it, that is what it is widely used for, but did you know that it is actually very emotionally calming to the nervous system when diffused or applied to the spine? It is also wonderful to help support a grumbly tummy when applied to the stomach because it loves to help our digestive system. And you can put it in your DIY outdoor spray to keep those nasty bugs and crawlies away!
15ml of Melrose ($22.75) This is another must have. This oil creates a hostile environment to so many things to assist the body in fighting what it needs to get rid of. It especially loves to fight the fun guy, I mean fungi! Its a powerhouse when the body needs extra support and its an amazing blend to have on hand.
15ml of Peppermint ($24.75) This was one of my first oils that I personally used on myself and I still continue to order it every two months. I cannot go without this oil. I love to put 5 drops in a capsule after a meal when I eat something that bothers my sensitive stomach or to add to any body part that has discomfort. From the temples down to the feet. It lowers the bodies temperature when needed, think the bottom of kids feet or the back of the neck on your aunt who is going through the change! It keeps bugs away and especially spiders, yuck. I used to wash my kitchen floors with a drop in the water to keep the crawlies away when I was in a rental while looking for my new home. I use 5-10 drops in my stevia sweetened melted chocolate to make a minty chocolate treat for myself and we have put a drop or two in hot chocolate or just in warm water to help soothe the body when inflammation is getting out of control. This is a must have for every home.
The $25 and under marathon is over, are you exhausted? There are so many other oils that fall under the $25 dollars as well but I wanted to stick with the 15ml to give you the best bang for your buck. The oils listed above cover every body system and when you step out in faith and try them for the things you have going on, I know you will love what you experience for yourself. You don't need to take my word for it. Your body will respond and you will know when your body is a happy camper. Essential oils are multi-taskers. Every one of the oils I mentioned have more uses than I even typed out. If you do not have one oil, then use what you have. Most of the time it will work with the issue you have going on because they all have so many constituents that bring harmony to the body. Its an incredible thing!
If you are unsure what to use, start out with using one oil 3x a day, whether it be on the bottom of your feet or on your wrists, for one week. Do this daily and jot down on a calendar if you notice any changes or feelings that come up. Remember the oils affect our emotions too, so make sure to note how you feel emotionally. Consistency is key when your testing things out. Let your body experience the oils and just see what happens. I think you will like it. If you use a warm oil like Clove on your skin and its uncomfortable, apply a carrier oil (Olive, Coconut or Jojoba) right on top of the spot and it will slow the absorption down so the discomfort will disappear. No harm will come to you or your child when an oil is hot or warm. Just bring the carrier oil to the rescue and then apply the hot oil to your feet where you have thicker skin.
Almost all of the oils listed create a hostile environment to virus', bacteria and fungi and assist the body with its natural response to inflammation. There are only a few that do not have those properties.
I love helping people find natural solutions to support their body. If you have questions and need to chat or would like to host a gathering in your home to share the love and oils, please reach out.
