This is the post you pay attention to because these favorites can fly out of stock!

SUPPLEMENTS

  • ImmuPro: ImmuPro Chewable Tablets are one of the easiest ways to give your body a good boost! These tablets are packed full of immune-supporting herbs and essential oils that stimulate the immune system (both cell-mediated and humoral immunity!), provide necessary minerals like Zinc, Copper, and Selenium, and allow the body to rest by providing a small amount of melatonin. When we are stressed our bodies need sleep even more to allow healing to occur. So adding melatoning to the mix just makes sense!
  • Inner Defense: This supplement is just what the name suggests – a defense and protection from all that today’s world can throw at us! This powerhouse blend of essential oil supports the immune and respiratory systems, making it a wonderful addition to your health routine either for daily use or for when your defenses start to go down.
  • Super C: Super C supports normal immune, respiratory, and circulatory function with vitamin C, rutin, citrus bioflavonoids, minerals, and an array of premium essential oils. These ingredients work together to promote overall health, vitality, and longevity. The added premium essential oils may also increase bioflavonoid activity. The ingredients in Super C also help to strengthen connective tissues and promote overall health, vitality, and longevity. Because your body cannot manufacture vitamin C, you can benefit by consuming this powerful antioxidant daily. Each serving provides 1300mg of Vitamin C! Also available in Super C Chewable Tablets: This formulation includes Orange premium essential oil and a broad range of fruit powders, including camu camu, acerola, cherry, and rose hip and delivers 150mg of Vitamin C per tablet.
  • Super Vitamin D: Super Vitamin D is a super source of vitamin D that helps support bone growth and healthy muscle AND plays a key function in respiratory health, supports innate and adaptive defense mechanisms, and the immune system overall. Vitamin D is also critical for mood and hormone regulation! Young Living’s Super Vitamin D is a small, dissolvable talbot infused with lemon balm extract and Lime Vitality essential oil for even more health benefits.

OTC PRODUCTS

  • Thieves Cough Drops: These cough drops are great at suppressing cough and relieving sore throats, and they are simply the most convenient way to get all of the internal, immune-boosting goodness of Thieves essential oil! So many lozenges are full of dyes, flavors, and sweeteners that are actually suppressing your ability to fight disease. Unlike these other lozenges, Thieves Lozenges use pure essential oils and natural ingredients instead of sugar or artificial flavoring for a great, refreshing taste.
  • Thieves Chest Rub & Cough Suppressant: Conquer your seasonal cold the natural way! Conventional chest rubs are full of synthetic ingredients and low-quality ‘natural’ ingredients. The 100 percent plant-based formula of Thieves Chest Rub delivers over-the-counter strength with hands-free application for quick relief you can count on. Temporarily relieve cough and congestion with soothing aromatic vapors and a powerful combination of camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus. Thieves Chest Rub helps reduce coughing and is safe to use on family members ages 2 and up. It’s a medicine cabinet must-have!

FALL SCENTS

  • Bergamot: This slightly spicy citrus oil is the perfect addition to any Autumn diffuser blend! Try it with Eucalyptus, Spruce or Christmas Spirit! Bergamot is also very uplighting to the mood and emotions and is very cleansing. It may also provide cardiovascular and general wellness support when taken internally.
  • Cinnamon Bark: If there were one scent to summarize Autumn it would be Cinnamon Bark! Spicy and reminiscent of baked goods, this oil is also incredibly supportive of the immune system and packs a great antioxidant punch.
  • Idaho Grand Fir: Like walking through a winter forest, this tree oil is a favorite for so many. Also known as western white fir, Idaho Grand Fir essential oil was traditionally used by Native Americans to promote well-being. It has a refreshing, grounding aroma that evokes a sense of fall and winter nostalgie. Idaho Grand Fir can be used to enhance yoga or meditation when diffused or inhaled and promotes the sensation of deeper breathing.
  • Orange: The happiest of all the oils, Orange is a wonderful addition to ANY diffuser blend. Pair it with spice oils like Cinnamon Bark and Nutmeg, with Idaho Grand Fir and Lavender for sleep, or with Thieves for a great everyday blend. Orange is an incredibly uplifting oil that also inspires creativity!
  • Nutmeg: Nutmeg is an essential fall scent. Warm and welcoming, grounding and so good for our immune and adrenal systems! Diffuse this oil for a pick me up anytime of day. Pair with Cinnamon Bark, Orange, Thieves, or Idaho Grand Fir!
  • Thieves: Thieves is the oil that’s always in season, but it is especially wonderful this time of year. Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Eucalyptus and Rosemary essential oils are warm and inviting and create a calm, cozy space. Plus, they are incredible for purifying the air and supporting the immune system!

ESSENTIAL OILS

  • Breathe Again: Breathe Again is our favorite respiratory support roll-on! This blend of Peppermint, Cypress, Copaiba and multiple Eucalyptus varieties has a slightly sweet, herbaceous aroma that feels like a deep sigh of relief! This blend contains naturally occurring constituents Eucalyptol, Limonene, Menthol, and Alpha Pinene which are wonderful for calming, soothing and supporting healthy respiration. This blend also comes in a 15mL bottle which is perfect for diffusing, blending with other oils or adding to diffuser jewelry.
  • ImmuPower: The name of this blend says it all!! ImmuPower is a combination of powerful essential oils, including Hyssop, Mountain Savory, Cistus, Camphor, Frankincense, Oregano, Clove, Cumin, and Dorado Azul. Use this oil blend daily as a mainstay for you to be supported above the wellness line. Use it every few hours for acute needs.
  • Oregano: Don’t do fall and winter without Oregano! This herbaceous oil helps support a healthy lifestyle when taken as a dietary supplement and packs an incredible immune system punch. Diffuse with Thieves, Lavender, Orange and/or Rosemary. Add Oregano to your Thieves Household Cleaner. It is also a great addition to a daily wellness roller and a component of both Inner Defense Capsules the Raindrop Kit. When taking it as a supplement, be sure to use a carrier oil such as V-6 or olive oil to dilute.
  • R.C.: RC is a gentle, soothing eucalyptus blend that is safe for children ages 2 and older! We love to diffuse R.C. with Thieves and Orange after school to soothe and support the immune and respiratory systems. It is also great ad bedtime with Lavender! You can use R.C. to make a natural chest rub for little ones just by diluting with some solid coconut oil. R.C. is also a great addition to your daily wellness blend!
  • Thieves: The original immune support oil! This blend was created from research recorded in the archives of the British Museum library about a group of 14th century European perfumers and spice traders who rubbed oils on themselves for protection while they robbed the dead and dying. Use Thieves daily for immune support and overall wellness. Diffuse, dilute and apply 2-3 times daily, add a drop to herbal tea, add to Epsom salts for a lovely bath!

10 Things I bet you didn’t know about Frankincense…

Lori TisdaleLeave a comment

You might recognize the name because of it was mentioned in the Bible as one of the gifts from the 3 wise men in the story of the birth of Jesus.

Frankincense oil is extracted from the Boswellia tree. The tree is common in Somalia and other very dry climates. This type of oil has been used for thousands of years for healing and therapy. The natural antioxidant properties in this oil make it a top choice for natural remedies.

Boost your immune system – Frankincense has antiseptic properties. Organic Facts reports that the scent and smoke from the oil can have disinfectant effects. May I suggest adding a few drops of the oil to the palm of your hand and rub together, then inhaling it for a few breaths to ease cold symptoms.

Protect your mouth – Mix a bit of Frankincense oil with baking soda for an all-natural toothpaste. The antiseptic properties help prevent cavities and bad breath. These same properties protect against mouth sores, toothaches, and infections, according to Organic Facts.

Menopause relief – Try this oil to help reduce symptoms of menopause like nausea, headache, fatigue, mood swings and pain in the abdomen.

Clean your home – Freshen the air in your home naturally, by adding a bit of Frankincense oil in a diffuser to help deodorize your house.

Relieve stress – Put a few of drops of oil to your bath and let your stress melt away. The scent of the oil encourages relaxation.

Ease Anxiety – Frankincense works as a sedative because the smell can encourage relaxation. Add Frankincense oil to a diffuser when you’re feeling particularly anxious to calm your nerves.

Fight aging – Get some skin care benefits by applying the oil on your skin. Mix a few drops of the Frankincense with unscented oil (like coconut) and apply to your skin.(Remember to try a small area first to ensure you don’t have any negative reactions.)

Ease Tummy Troubles – Mix one or two drops of Frankincense Vitality with a glass of water and a bit of honey. Drink the entire glass to help cure tummy aches and digestive issues.

Reduce the appearance of scarring – Add Frankincense to a base oil (like coconut) or your favorite lotion, and apply directly to the skin. The oil helps reduce the appearance of scars, acne and stretch marks.

Reduce swelling in the joints – Frankincense has anti-inflammatory properties that make it a simple way to ease pain and swelling. Massage the oil onto sore joints. Alternatively, add some oil to hot water and soak a towel in the oil-infused water. Then apply the towel to your sore muscles or joints.

The Importance Of Humidity and Diffusion In Protecting Against Transmission of the Flu

(This information is provided by my friend Doug Corrigan)

Did you know that the reason flu is transmitted more prevalently in the winter months has nothing to do with the fact that it’s cold outside?

The reason the flu and other cold-like viruses are transmitted in the winter months is due to the low humidity conditions during those months. Multiple research studies conducted by the the CDC and other research universities have demonstrated that the influenza virus is transmitted as an aerosol much more readily in air that is devoid of moisture. Because the winter months tend to exhibit the driest air, both outdoors and indoors, the transmission rate of the flu virus skyrockets as it can survive passage through the air in droplets.

For example, the research study by John Noti with the CDC demonstrated that at 43 percent relative humidity, only 14 percent of the virus particles that were released were able to transmit the influenza virus. This is in contrast to the 70 percent transmission rate in air that is at 23% relative humidity. Also, the protective effect at higher humidity levels appeared to be rapid, with the majority of viral inactivation taking place within 15 minutes of when viral particles were first “coughed” into a high-humidity environment.

This just underscores the importance of running a large humidifier in your house during the winter months. Diffusers can’t replace a humidifier, but you can use diffusers in various rooms to supplement this effect, especially close to your bed at night while you are sleeping.

————> A few research studies are referenced below:

Noti, John D., et al. “High humidity leads to loss of infectious influenza virus from simulated coughs.” PLoS One 8.2 (2013): e57485.

Lowen, Anice C., and John Steel. “Roles of humidity and temperature in shaping influenza seasonality.” Journal of virology 88.14 (2014): 7692-7695.

Here are some fun facts:
1. Essential Oils can bypass digestion. Unlike using nearly anything else, your body will experience positive changes from using essential oils whether your gut is perfect or not!

2. Essential oils are fat soluble. Your skin soaks them up and pushes the oils deep into the bloodstream.

3. Essential oils cross the blood-brain barrier. So their wonderful power can flow deep into your system neurologically, and affect every system of the body – quickly.

4.Essential oils work off frequencies. Every single living thing has a different vibrational frequency. Oils stimulate and support certain parts of your body to create specific changes in frequency.

5.Essential oils are adaptogenic. They do for my body what MY body needs, and will do for your body what YOUR body needs.

6.Essential oils work in therapy localization. By applying an oil directly to the area you want support, you’re stimulating the nervous system intensely. Your brain tells your whole body to focus its energy there.

7.Essential oils clean receptor sites. When there is junk on the receptor site, the brain can’t send a signal to the body to tell it what to do or the brain can’t process the information that your body is receiving.

8.Essential oils are safe and easy to use. Period!

9.Young Living Essential Oils can be used through multiple applications.

Apply them! Diffuse them! Ingest them (the Vitality oils)!

(For safety purposes, follow the instructions on the bottle label.)
