PART 4: STARTER OILS
Let’s Talk Oils!
Let’s kick things off with two of Young Living’s most popular oils.
If you’re heading out into the woods, you want your Swiss Army Knife with you. If you’re heading out into LIFE, you want your Lavender!
Lavender is called The Swiss Army Knife of oils because it’s SO versatile!
Lavender can soothe your skin and help balance your emotions. ??????
I love to unwind at night by adding a cup of Epsom salts and 4-5 drops of oil to a warm bath. ? Ahhhhh! Spritz your pillow with distilled water and Lavender mixed in a spray bottle to help carry you off to Dreamland! Sometimes we diffuse it to help everyone (including dogs! ?) calm down a few notches.
I think the Wise Men were onto something when they brought Frankincense to Jesus. Seriously… They couldn’t have chosen a more valuable AND practical gift! ?
From grounding to emotional support to skincare, Frankincense is a powerhouse! ?? Need to collect your thoughts? Diffuse or inhale Frankincense.
Want to keep your skin looking radiant and smooth? Grab your Frankincense. ? Add it to your lotion or night cream to highlight your natural beauty. Or just it all by itself. It’s gentle enough to do just that!
Don’t forget Frankincense during your post-workout massage. #bliss
Blend it up!
So far we’ve talked about single plants – Lavender & Frankincense. But blending oils together for a specific purpose can work some serious magic! ✨
Purification is your secret weapon for all things STINKY! It replaces toxin-laden air fresheners and keeps your home smelling fresh. We diffuse it when someone burns dinner, popcorn, or anything else that might trigger the smoke alarm. ? We also have a spray bottle of Purification and distilled water to use as an air freshener. I love that it actually eliminates odors instead of just covering them up.
Purification is also a lifesaver in the laundry. I’m sure I’m the only one who forgets to take clothes out of the washing machine and has to rewash them (sometimes several times), right? ? When that happens, I add a couple of drops of Purification to the laundry soap. It gets rid of that after-5th-grade-camp smell and keeps the clothes (and the washing machine) smelling fresh! We also add a couple of drops to wool dryer balls instead of scented dryer sheets.
Purification also helps moisturize the skin and improve the appearance of healthy-looking skin. You can apply it directly to your skin as needed. I used it (along with Frankincense and Lavender) in a DIY toner for myself and my tween daughter!
Heading out to enjoy a summer evening? Put on a little Purification to enjoy the outdoors annoyance-free. Pro tip: Mix Purification with distilled water in a spray bottle, and spritz the whole family!
Take me away, PanAway! This blend of Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Clove & Peppermint is your BFF after exercise or after sitting too long at your desk or in the car. Rub some on your neck or back – anywhere! – for a little soothing.
Need to apply PanAway to a larger area? Add it to a carrier oil to stretch it even further.
Just Breathe!
Do you adore eucalyptus? R.C. is a blend of three different types PLUS other powerful oils! Diffuse or apply it before, during, or after a workout ? to help you stay motivated and energized.
R.C. is a fabulous oil for massage too! Combine it with V-6 Vegetable Oil, and you’re in for an invigorating, spa-like experience. Or mix a few drops of R.C. into a warm Epsom salt bath to calm as the oil diffuses in the steam.
We even make our own chest rub with R.C.! So soothing during those ❄ winter ❄ months!
Ahhhhh Stress Away! The name says it all! This Lime-Vanilla blend has a citrusy scent that is relaxing and comforting.
Long day at work? Soak it away with Epsom salts and Stress Away in a warm bath.
Kids stressing about a school project? ? Apply Stress Away to the wrists and back of neck before they head off for school!
Or diffuse Stress Away for a little calming before bedtime. ? #mamashelper
Vitality!
See the white Vitality label on that bottle in the picture? Young Living has made it super easy for us to know which oils work well internally. Just look for the Vitality label, and you’ll know it’s a great pick for your water, a capsule, or your favorite recipe! ?
Some oils have both regular labels and Vitality labels. Regular solid color bottle labels explain how to use the oil topically and/or aromatically. Vitality labels explain how to use the oil internally. Same oil. Different label.
Peppermint Vitality is a pick-me-up in a bottle! I use it to stay alert and when I need extra concentration & focus.
It also helps with occasional nausea and supports normal digestion. It can even support exercise performance. So add a drop to your water the next time you hit the gym!
You can take a couple of drops of Peppermint Vitality in a capsule or put a drop in a glass of water to enjoy a refreshing drink. You can also add it to baked goods, teas, or other recipes. Add 5-6 drops to your next 9×13 pan of brownie batter, and you’ll bake up the most amazing mint brownies! ?
Any lemon water fans out there? If so, you’re going to LOVE Lemon Vitality! ??? Adding it to your water instead of lemon juice is WAY easier on the enamel of your teeth. Your dentist will thank you. ?
You can also add 1-2 drops of Lemon Vitality to a vegetable capsule or add it to your favorite recipes. I love adding it to my fruit dip!
After this class, put your Google skills to work and check out limonene. It’s found in Lemon Vitality, and you won’t want to be without it!
Staying Well!
Raise your hand if you want to keep your immune system running like a finely-tuned machine! ????
If that’s you, Thieves Vitality wants to be your BFF. It’s a powerful blend that supports your immune system & your overall wellness. It even has Eucalyptus Radiata Vitality to supports your respiratory system.
You’ll want to grab your Thieves Vitality before the kids head out for school, before you leave for work, or when you’re traveling (especially if you’re traveling by plane!).
Take Thieves Vitality in a capsule, or mix it honey. We like to add a drop to a glass of apple juice to make it taste like apple cider! ?
DiGize is like a superhero! It often saves the day by supporting our digestive systems!
It’s a blend of Tarragon, Ginger, Peppermint, Juniper, Fennel, Lemongrass, Anise, and Patchouli… great oils for digestive support. It can soothe stomach discomfort and makes a fabulous mealtime companion! ?
Add it to a capsule, mix it with water and Peppermint Vitality, or combine it with honey. You can use it after meals or just when you need it.
Get ready to break out your Google skills again! ? This time Google beta-caryophyllene. That’s one incredible things you’ll find in Copaiba Vitality. And your body will thank you for it! ?
Take Copaiba Vitality in a capsule to promote wellness and as an important part of your health regimen. You can add a drop or two to a cup of tea for a complex, soothing flavor and a boost to your overall wellness.
NingXia Red!
Young Living’s Premium Starter Kit isn’t just oils, friends! They also include two packets of NingXia Red, an antioxidant drink that will pretty much rock your world. ?
It’s packed with superfoods like wolfberry, plum, aronia, cherry, blueberry, and pomegranate juices and extracts.
It’s a whole-body nutrient infusion in a shot glass! Use it to promote health and wellness and normal cell function. It even supports energy levels and normal eye health!
There are so many ways to get your daily dose of NingXia Red! Drink it straight or with your favorite Vitality oils added. ? Blend it into a smoothie or morning juice, or pop a packet in the freezer until it’s slushy. A daily shot of 2-4 ounces helps support overall wellness with powerful antioxidants.
