Get ready for the cooler weather and all the fun fall activities, but also be prepared for runny noses and weakened immune systems. This season is not just "flu season," but also "sugar and stress season." Avoid overloading your body with sugar and evaluate the activities you say "yes" to this fall to minimize stress and negative impacts.

Make sure your wellness toolbox is stocked with Young Living's Thieves, DiGize, Thieves cough drops, and Inner Defense to help support your immune system during this time. It's easier to stay healthy than to recover. Additionally, replace harmful toxins and endocrine disruptors in your home by using fall diffuser recipes with Young Living essential oils, adding a few drops of Vanilla oleoresin for extra delightful scents.

Stay healthy this fall and enjoy the season without compromising your well-being by being prepared and using Young Living products to support your overall wellness.

Welcome to April!

If you were here last month, you cleaned out your home with our Thieves line… this month it’s time to focus on cleaning out your ‘temple’ and it all starts in the gut!

Did you know that your gut health is directly related to your immune health and your mental health?!

In the US almost 70 million people struggle with digestive diseases and nearly 1 in 5 people struggle with mental illness. This is important because your emotional well being is directly linked to your gut health.

So, this month we are focusing on supporting your digestive system because it is the number #1 factor in many health conditions.

For some great tips on how you can improve your digestive system and to learn a bit more about why this is so important and how it works, CLICK HERE to access one of my most popular resources, ‘Digestion 101’.

This month I'm teaching Oils of Ancient Scripture on April 17th at 6:30 at The Hen House in Jacksonville.

We'll talk about 10 of the 33 species mentioned in the Bible--and learn how they were used thousands of years ago and how you can still use them today!

Not local? You can still watch this class online! The link is in the Video Classes section of the Member Vault! Not sure what that is or how to access it? Drop me a line and I'll make sure you get hooked up!

I'll also have my Zyto scan available and...BIG NEWS...I'm upgrading the software to get more reports on body systems like digestive and immune systems, emotions, sleep, reports on specific organs, and you can even scan for your top foods and foods to maybe eat less of! Scans are still only $5 (if y'all know the cost you know that's a steal!) or free if you're on my team!

You’ve been using essential oils to help keep you and your family above the wellness line--but what about the furry and feathery members of your family? Yep, essential oils can be used on all pets! Join us for this informative class on May 1st at 6:30 at The Hen House where we will be addressing some major issues animals face--from kittenhood to older pets. We’ll give you tools you need to keep your hooved and tail-wagging friends at their best--emotionally and physically! I'm hoping to have my 11 month old pup there as a willing demonstration dog! She absolutely loves oils!

Save the date for the upcoming Young Living Convention in July! Get discounted pricing on your in-person or virtual ticket until May 30th HERE.

Why attend Convention in person?

It’s an opportunity to see the Mona Farm first hand (an experience you will never forget).
To smell every single oil and try all kinds of new products in the Expo.
To feel the energy of thousands of other YL enthusiasts and see your favorite people from Corporate. (While it’s a large group, Convention is much smaller than it was 3 years ago which makes it even more enjoyable for the introverts.)
It’s a great way to get LOADS of content for your social. #reels

HAPPY MARCH!

If it is not spring yet where you are, it will be soon! We are focusing on Spring Cleaning this month and fighting any seasonal 'things'... if you know what I mean. ;)

Let the recipe below be your hint on that one! This works like a charm and SO much faster than those over-the-counter "solutions”... not to mention it’s a whole lot safer. Tip: you can also take all of these in Vitality form in a capsule! Remember...the only difference between Lavender and Lavender Vitality...is the color of the label ;-)

A cup of hot coffee wrapped in a blanket on the back porch, pulling on a warm hoodie when the sun dips behind the hills, and seeing the beautiful colors of autumn intensify overnight--so many things to love about this time of year!

Along with those can come runny noses, little coughs, and sore throats...no fun! Make sure to keep your immune system healthy this season by avoiding sugar, eating lots of clean, whole foods, and of course using your essential oils!

This month's freebies have SO many uses! Check out the newsletter with diffuser recipes, kitchen recipes, product spotlight, news and more!

Do you love your lymph? Check out this short quiz to see if your lymph system is in need of a tune up!

Meet Kait Palmer

Hi - I'm Kait!

I used to deal with a debilitating issue that would last from 4-7 days twice a month…that was a LOT of my time!

After 7 years of searching, I have learned the solution--and I no longer spend $300 a month on medication…I no longer spend ANYTHING on synthetic stuff that has side effects!

The amount of time this has redeemed is beyond monetary value. I get to be present with my husband and 3 girls, I have the space to do things I love–like reading, running, boxing, and helping mamas learn how to take authority over their own family’s health!

I’ve taught hundreds of mamas to learn practical ways to take care of themselves and their families–and I can do the same for you!

All About Essential Oils

Aromatic, Topical, and Dietary

Essential oils have enriched lives for thousands of years, offering a variety of benefits from cosmetic and dietary purposes to spiritual and religious use.

Extracted through careful steam distillation, resin tapping, and cold pressing, the purest essential oils are far more powerful than the botanicals from which they come.

You can access the power of essential oils in many ways, but the most common practices include aromatic diffusion, topical application, and dietary consumption. These methods bring the pure essence of health-promoting botanicals to your home, family, and life.

Uses Of Essential Oils

Essential Oils can be used in many ways, including:

Inspire a positive emotional state
Enhance your physical wellness
Awaken spiritual awareness
Purify your home
And so much more!

What Are Essential Oils?

They are the most powerful part of the plant.

They are distilled from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, fruit, rinds, resins, and herbs. Oils consist of over 100 different, natural organic compounds.

In humans, they provide support for every system in the body: your skeletal system, your muscular system, circulatory system, endocrine system and your hormones, respiratory system and immune system. They support brain health and healthy weight. They are used extensively for emotions and for spiritual support in your prayer life. An oil in a diffuser can soothe a child’s tough day at school and provide a calming effect when you’ve had a stressful day at work. Oils can be used as an alternative to toxic cleaning chemicals in the home. You can literally start swapping out every single chemical cleaning toxin in your home to live a purer lifestyle, and you can do it without breaking the bank!

Uses Of Essential Oils

Topical

The skin is the largest organ of the body, so topical application of essential oils can help in many ways. Whether used for a full-body massage or on location for those sore post-workout muscles, essential oils can bring relief.

Using oils topically is as simple as adding a drop of sandalwood to your skin care routine, rubbing PanAway on your joints for pain, or using some Clarity on your brain stem.

Make sure to dilute “hot” oils like cinnamon, oregano, lemongrass, thyme, Thieves, etc. If you ever use an oil and your skin pinks up or it feels a little warm, just add some carrier oil (like coconut, almond, jojoba oil, etc.). A little goes a long way, so we always recommend you “start low and go slow.”

Tests have shown oils reach the heart, liver, and thyroid in three seconds when inhaled. Expulsion of essential oils takes three to six hours in a normal, healthy body.

Aromatic

Inhalation is a very effective way to get the benefits from essential oils. The molecules in essential oils are small enough to cross cell membranes and the blood-brain barrier.

Crack open a bottle, and breathe it in. It can be that simple! Add your oils to a diffuser and enjoy the therapeutic benefits from diffusing. Use diffuser jewelry made from leather, clay, or lava rocks. Add some oils to a wood clothespin attached to the vent in your car. Put a drop in your palm, rub your hands together, and cup your hands over your nose. Breathe deeply and enjoy!

Dietary

Essential Oils were found in the bloodstream in 26 seconds when applied topically! Whoa! The Vitality Line with Young Living highlights oils that are great to use internally...but guess what? The Oregano and Oregano Vitality? EXACTLY THE SAME. So don't stress too much on what YL had to do to appease "big brother!"

Add a drop (or more) of a Vitality oil into an empty vegetable capsule, a cup of tea, or a glass of water. You can even cook and bake with them! Try some Lemon Vitality in your yogurt or a toothpick tip of Oregano Vitality in your next batch of spaghetti sauce. One of my favorite things to do is add 4 drops of Peppermint Vitality to a box mix of brownies! One thing to note: citrus oils can break down the petrochemicals in plastic so it’s safer to use stainless steel, glass, or ceramic when adding oils to your dishes and drinks.

Does Young Living Test Its Oils?

I love when I get asked this...

After distilling and before any bottling, we do about 20 different tests on each oil, including gas chromotagraphy (GC), gas chromatography mass spectrometer (GCMS), viscometry, densitrometry, polarimetry, refractometry, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), Inductively coupled plasma atomic optical emision spectrometry (ICP-OES), Fourier transform infared spectrometry (FTIR), automated micro-enumeration, disintegration testing, pH, flash point, microscopy, combustibility, chiral chomatrography, and finally Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS), of which we are the ONLY essential oil company in the world to own not one--but two.

Those are most of the tests but in all we test 20 different ways, and then send them out to at least two other labs so every test is done in triplicate. Young Living can't share the names of the other labs for legal reasons (we have about a half dozen other labs we send to), but they were able to tell us these labs work with the FBI and Scotland Yard (we have distilleries worldwide), specialize in forensic analysis, were the labs responsible for analyzing the content in the shoe bomber that led to arrests, and analyzed the air mass in the envelopes with anthrax when that was going on in 2001. So these aren't hokey mom and pop labs ;-)

So not only is every single oil tested at least 20 times, and then in triplicate, BEFORE they are bottled, but we do this same testing AFTER bottling as well--so every single oil you use has been tested approximately 120 times.

Of all the oil we produce, we only bottle and sell about 30% of it that tests up to our standards.

We also have the only gas chromotagraph in the world with such powerful capabilities in our lab in Ecuador, as we are constantly bringing in new species from the Amazon and surrounding rain forests to test their chemical constituents. We have the largest database in the world when it comes to essential oils and their compounds and constituents.

So yes, we test ;-)

Why Young Living?

Not all oils are created equal. Found out why!
