Get Essential Oils + a Toxin-Free Lifestyle Here

Click HERE for a simple walk through on how to buy the safest essential oils and start a toxin-free lifestyle with Young Living.

Why Young Living Only?

  • Zero pesticides
  • Single distillation
  • Soil hasn’t been touched by pesticides in 50+ years
  • You can go to any farm in the world to see for yourself
  • Zero synthetics
  • Zero fragrance
  • ONLY essential oil
  • BECAUSE YOU ARE READY TO TAKE BACK YOUR HEALTH!

5% Rule

There’s a rule that says companies only have to make sure 5% of the oil in their bottles is actual essential oil to be considered “pure and therapeutic.”

Organic oils can even have synthetics and fragrance added to them under this rule, and do.

Young Living oils are the ONLY oils who never adulterate* their oils and have 100% never changed essential oil.

*I consider spraying plants with any pesticide as adulterating the oil.

Why Care About Pesticides?

Anything you put on your skin is in your bloodstream in 26 seconds.

Choosing an essential oil company outside of Young Living ensures you’ll have those pesticides coursing through your veins as well.

Why spend your money on a temporary fix that makes a long-term problem?

What About Organic Pesticides?

When I say ZERO pesticides, I mean ZERO.

Not even organic pesticides.

Young Living is hand-weeded (or sheep-weeded in some cases like the France Lavender farm!) and this is their above-and-beyond calling they call Seed-to-Seal.

Are They Expensive?

The amazing part about Young Living is the concentration of the oils and over 600+ lifestyle products.

For example, the household cleaner makes 29 spray bottles.

One 15mL bottle of oil has around 300 drops in it.

When you buy a Young Living lifestyle item, you’re adding immense value to your home and saving a ton!

How Do I Know Which Oils I Need?

Most people start with the Premium Starter Kit. It comes with 12 oils, a diffuser, and some samples of other lifestyle products at around half the cost as a bundle/kit.

These 12 oils are called our “Everyday Oils,” and the kit itself comes with a 24% discount on all products for life.

From there, the iTovi scanner {click HERE} and Essential Oils Reference Guide {click HERE) are two must-haves for taking on your new life of proactive living.

How Often Do I Have to Order?

That’s up to you.

Our family can’t possibly pass up the thousands of dollars we save every year with the loyalty program called Essential Rewards (read about it HERE).

You can order once in your whole life and never again, you can order with Essential Rewards, or anywhere in-between.

Do I Have to Sell this Stuff?

Nope.

I personally tell everyone I know (including you!) because it feels like a deep down serious moral obligation to let people know there’s a safe way to live with all the disease in this world. You can be a part of one of the greatest changes in someone’s life, and that’s big.

You decide how and when you share, AND if you do, Young Living will send you a thank you check. No strings. No immediate business you’re roped into. Simply a, “Hey, you helped save a family. Thanks!” bonus check!

You can learn how to utilize the Young Living referral program HERE.

Zero spam. No salesy stuff. It’s really me, Andrea Marshall, talking to and helping you.

Not quite ready?

Read on for amazing, yet really simple changes you can make to be healthier this fall.

September Health Favorites

IMMUNE: Inner Defense & Thieves

The big guns.

We take one drop of Thieves essential oil blend in raw, local honey when we’ve been exposed to germs or when we’re starting to feel a little under the weather.

We diffuse it all night and day.

The bottoms of our feet are covered in Thieves and tucked in cozy socks.

Consistent use is absolutely key here. We use it a few times per day or every couple of hours if we’re really run down.

If we’re a little late to catch an icky feeling, we’ll take Inner Defense to get our bodies back to performing above the line of wellness again. It’s easy. Just follow the directions on the side of the bottle.

Fall health booster recipes

Want to hear something really crazy? 

We’ve used nothing but Young Living products for the last six cold and flu seasons.

No prescriptions. Nope.

Zero doc visits. Zilch.

Why?

We’ve got everything we need in our home.

Not so sure yet?

Read on.

Lung Support

LUNGS: R.C., Breathe Again, and Snifflease

R.C. and Breathe Again open up passageways and help your lungs work at optimal function.

Snifflease is the kids’ version, which just means it’s pre-diluted.

Diluted doesn’t mean weaker here, though. 

Just that it stretches a bit further and is ready to apply because there’s a fatty oil inside.

So, I’ll carry Snifflease in my purse for all four of us and keep the others in the house.

R.C. and Breathe Again are our go-tos (I prefer the pre-diluted roller of Breathe Again for late night coughing fits).

Thieves Tea

Dilution…what?

We dilute for many reasons, and not all need diluted, but don’t worry.

It’s super simple.

Why?  Because the ratios are on the side of the bottle.

However…

I usually follow this rule: 1 drop essential oil to 4 drops carrier (fatty oil like coconut, olive, grapeseed, hempseed, etc).

Don’t be afraid.

You won’t mess this up…promise!

Why Young Living ONLY?

I know…what a weird thing to say, right?

We *only* use one oil company. Sounds odd. I know.

But here’s what happened to us in a nutshell:

  • Our two-month-old was diagnosed with a toxin-caused cancer (we know it’s toxin-caused because it wasn’t genetic…seriously, go down *that* rabbit hole for a minute…).
  • Two years later I stumbled upon what it means to have toxic makeup, cleaners, etc.
  • I tried multiple types of “organic” and natural “essential oils” from big and little companies. None of them worked. Some of them made me feel worse.
  • I learn about Young Living’s Seed to Seal promise: zero pesticides, zero fillers, zero synthetics, zero fragrance, period. I could not find this anywhere else. 
  • We start using Young Living and were overwhelmed by it’s purity and efficacy.
  • Six years later, I write to tell you all about it.

Wish there was a way to learn without being sold to?

Have you been hearing about oils in a negative (or positive) light but know deep down there’s something to it?

If you follow me on social media, do you ever wonder why we’re so healthy…consistently?

For years?

Or why we get better really fast we are sick?

Zero spam. Always an option to opt out. It’s literally me, Andrea Marshall, talking to you.

Simple information to learn about toxin-free living in just a few easy steps.

Because why not live the healthiest life possible for the least amount of financial investment possible?

We’ve saved *thousands* since leaving traditional living and switching to Young Living. 

I can’t wait for you to see how!

Hormone Tracking and Balancing Free Printable

FREE Hormone Tracker and Balancer

Women have been sold a life that only works outside the female cycle.

We’ve bought product after miserable, hormone-crushing product to deal with it, too.

I’m guessing that, if you’re here, you’re so over it.

Guess what?

Today you can choose to quit feeling like a dumpster fire every single month. 

Normal or Common?

What I’m suggesting to you today is big.

You’ll be giving up some things we all hate. For some reason we’ve believed they’re just a part of being a woman.

What will following this plan allow you to say goodbye to?

  • No more PMS…because that’s not normal. Common? Okay. Normal? Nope.
  • Goodbye, cramping…because that’s not normal.
  • Lock up mood swings…they’re not normal.
  • Huge blood clots have got to go…because that’s so not normal.
  • Long periods….because lengthy, drawn-out cycles are not normal.

Our bodies have been crying out, begging for help for years. It’s about time we listened.

You may scrunch up your nose at the following suggestions, and that’s okay.

Now, it is a package deal, but it can be done easily.

I’ve been free for six wonderful years, and you can be, too!

1. Say Goodbye to Synthetic Fragrance

Greenwashing

First, you’ve got to know about Greenwashing. It’ll save you so much time and money.

Long story super short, just about every “green” or “natural” product out there is a farce.

How can you know for sure?

Is something created for our health full of synthetics? Pesticide-sprayed plants? Fragrance?

Just because the bottle says “free of,” doesn’t give it the right to trick you into buying their lie.

How to Start Fresh

This is how I was able to let go of all the synthetic fragrance in our home.

At first glance I thought it would cost more. In reality, it’s saves us thousands every year.

It’s an absolute shame that marketing starts with our pre-teen girls (and boys!) and works their way up the age ladder with this harmful version of “normal” living.

If I had one bottle of  “Country Apple” lotion or “Cucumber Melon” body wash when I was a girl, I had them all. They became the standard teenage girl gift.

Add in all the candles I burned.

Now, mix in all of my household cleaners.

Add a dash of perfume, makeup, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and feminine products.

Top it all off with laundry detergent and fabric softener, and you’ve got a recipe for adrenal fatigue and hormone failure.

You can follow a plan like this to slowly ditch and switch your products if it feels overwhelming to start.

2. Peace-Out, Pesticides

There were two main ways I got rid of pesticides. First, I had to fully understand why I needed to get rid of pesticides.

Thankfully, the first way I let go of them (here) allowed the budget to burst wide open for the second way.

The second way was buying only organic (or better yet, chemical-free) foods.

Be careful with your organic produce, though.

I use this to wash off the carcinogenic gasses sprayed to help make the long trek from farm to table in our country.

*Note: Highly concentrated products stretch to last! This is part of what saves us so much financially!

 

3. Healthy Water

Test it for yourself, but I think we all know the tap is not for drinking.

The water jug filter I thought was so great was almost as bad as the tap, unfortunately.

Not to mention how bad bottled water is…don’t even get me started on how many petrochemicals we drink from those things…yuck!

Healthy water, I hate to say it, is an investment.

It’s something we should all have free access to, but sadly it isn’t just yet.

I’ve settled on this second best option and was gifted this first rate option.

4. Balance Hormones

The lack of education we receive on hormone health or even how to mange our cycle is unfortunate.

Thankfully I was blessed with this new lifestyle.

Here’s how I balanced my hormones (in addition to what I mentioned above): free hormone balancing printable!

If I were you, I’d either laminate or slip it into one of those old school paper covers like this.

I keep mine in the bathroom where my hormone balancers are stored.

If you don’t already have an app that tracks your cycle, I like the free version of Flo, but I’m sure there are a ton out there.

Also, if you’ve opted for synthetic birth control, let this be your sign to throw it in the trash or have it removed ASAP. Those things have damaged enough women’s bodies (including long-term on my own). Don’t be another statistic!

5. Encouraging Note to You!

Take it from someone who’s been right where you are now– you can do this!

It does take time.

Like…sometimes a lot of time, if you’re like me undoing 15+ years damage.

With the help of functional medicine, I’ve made huge strides over the last two years in addition to these at-home remedies.

Every product I use in the air I breathe, clothes I wear, or place on my skin matters.

Each piece of food I eat changes things.

Is everything I eat organic? Nope. Had food from a restaurant last night.

BUT

I’ve learned that I feel and look much better when I’m 95% clean and enjoy desserts and a night out a little in between.

It just became increasingly clear that either I paid intentionally with wisdom now, or I pay much more later.

Physically, mentally, emotionally, and out of my pocket.

Illness or health is generational.

We can choose to turn it around today.

And when we choose for us (and four generations beyond us), we have the amazing benefit of never looking back.

To your health,

Andrea

1 John 1 Bible Study Questions

With new Believers in our home, I wanted to walk through 1 John together.

I’m definitely not some great theology major, but I have actively studied the Word for the last 15 years.

Even that many years in, I’m still so amazed in wonder each time I open the Bible. This raised the question: how do I help my family go through a book of the Bible together?

With the ESV Study Bible to help, I created questions based on what the commentary would answer for me.

Next Steps

I typed out all of my questions, then got to thinking.

What if other families could use these questions?

I’ve joyfully added them to my Teachers Pay Teachers site for FREE for anyone to download.

You can click right here and get access to it now.

Also, please PIN the following image and follow me on Pinterest here for the follow up chapters.

This FREE download is a simplistic study guide on 1John 1 that was made to work in conjunction with your ESV study Bible.

Let’s Work Toward 1 John Together

I’m nowhere near proficient in writing any sort of Bible study. That’s why I created questions the commentary could answer.

If you have a great question you think I should add to this study guide, please comment below!

I’d be super grateful for your input.

Kindergarten Reading Mini-Lessons Master List

Why a kindergarten reading mini-lessons master list?

Aren’t we wanting to teach full lessons?

The following are things good readers do. You’re setting up your child’s reading foundation.

To make it strong, practice is key.

This, of course, is not an exhaustive list, but it’s a great working one!

This kindergarten reading mini-lessons master list is adapted from state standards. Read here about how you can add these to your homeschool without allowing it to crowd out the good you’re already doing!

This list could lead to a month-long study on each.

Or more. Or less.

The best thing you can do for your child is dig into lots of books with you!

The more they’re exposed, the greater their vocabulary and a better reader they’ll be.

DID YOU PIN THE GRAPHIC ABOVE YET?

NINE SIMPLISTIC LESSONS:

  1. Find key details in a text.
  2. Retell a familiar story, including key details.
  3. Identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.
  4. Ask and answer questions about unknown words in a text.

Digital Documentary Project

This digital documentary project is an amazing way to deepen student understanding of research and visual media presentation.

This digital documentary project has been a favorite among students.

Research Done Fun

I know the standard five paragraph essay has its place in life.

But by the 8th grade, my students were about to fall over if they had to write another standard research paper.

Even worse, they’d (and I quote) “rather stick a fork in their eye” if they had to sit through another set of research presentations.

Thus the documentary project was born.

I’m not saying it was a simple process.

I’d never claim it took a short time to create.

But boy, oh boy was it worth it in the end.

Critical Thinking

This project goes beyond the typical research.

Because it wouldn’t be in paper format, they had to envision each piece of information differently.

This time, they’d need to think of what photograph or video they needed to accompany each fact.

On top of that, students would have to decide where it made the most sense within the flow of their documentary.

This took their synthesis of the research and it kicked up a notch.

Tracks Sources During the Research Process

Included in this bundle, you’ll notice the sourcing sheet.

I’ve included this to both track sources as well as keep notes on each piece of information.

I noticed my students would gather all this amazing research then hit a roadblock.

They were frustrated when trying to remember what they’d wanted to do with each piece.

So, we added in a column in the sourcing sheet for them to jot a note about each photograph or fact as they researched.

This page also helped in the creation of their storyboard.

Storyboarding

In order to get a general idea of what information or picture went where, students needed to storyboard. I allowed them to either do this digitally or print it off for a physical storyboard.

They’d present these to their small groups and get feedback on what was lacking, which pieces seemed most interesting, and if it made sense to a general audience.

It was great to do this before putting their documentary together.

Who wants to add all that into a medium and narrate over it just to find out it doesn’t have a great timeline or is missing a huge chunk of information?

Presentations Worth Sitting Through

This is basically asking students to sit through movies.

I mean…who doesn’t wan to do that?

I’ll admit it…not every one of them was a winner.

However, I will say they were a heck of a lot more entertaining than the standard presentation.

I had students even thanking me for this project!

I’d say it was a hit and definitely worth checking out for your next research assignment.

Happy teaching, friends!

This digital documentary project is an amazing way to deepen student understanding of research and visual media presentation.

The Case For Year-Round Homeschool

When I was a public school teacher, I longed for year-round school.

Other teachers told me I was crazy…they loved their summers off.

But I knew in my gut I could make it amazing.

I’ve been blessed in our homeschool setting to prove just that.

In this article, I want to share six reasons we’re grateful for year-round homeschool.

I hope it gives you hope in your schooling situation, wherever you may be.

1. Mental Break

We school four weeks, then take a week-long break.

With this schedule, we school many more days than the typically schooled child.

But it feels like so much less.

That fifth week is amazing for the kids and for mama.

It’s like a fresh start every time!

The mental break is beyond helpful.

However, the overall mindset shift might be my favorite part.

Waiting until the next extended break while I was teaching was such a drag. We don’t experience that anymore!

2. Travel Year Round

Hiking, mini-trips, or even exploring our surrounding area has been so fun.

Especially when we’re not confined to the school year.

I had no idea how much there was to do out there in the other 3 seasons!

We’ve had a blast.

No long lines, and we can bring all the homeschooling friends we want?

Win!

We also get homeschool discounts in lots of places, too.

How and why we love year-round homeschool as a fun, easy-going, and enjoyable school option in all seasons of the year and in life.

3. Nix the Summer Gap

The one thing I hated most as a teacher was how it never seemed like anything stuck after summer vacation.

My new students sat there in August, year after year, with a whole lotta nothing in their heads.

That summer gap is for real, y’all.

We don’t have to experience that anymore with year-round homeschool.

I see their skills and building blocks growing stronger in every four week session, and it’s so exciting!

They’re much more confident.

We waste no time reviewing because everything is always fresh.

Best of all, their excitement for learning doesn’t fade.

4. What About Schooling While Friends are Off?

People ask me this all the time.

But they forget one important little detail: homeschooling is flexible!

We’re at the pool, out back with the neighborhood kids, and spraying each other with the hose just as much as all the other kids.

There is one thing we don’t have though: summer boredom!

Schooling is what happens around life.

This means when everyone is tired of the heat, thirsty, or hungry, they’re inside learning!

We also really enjoy schooling outside. The trampoline, swings, treehouse, and a blanket in the grass are some of our favorite spots.

Our days are so full and fun all summer long!

5. Our Kids are Invested

It was harder when we knew our next extended break time wasn’t for another two or three months.

Especially when you’re little…everything takes forever!

It’s amazing to see their ability to jump right back in after a nice week-long rest.

We said goodbye to the drag of waiting for the next break.

6. The Children Make SUCH Fun Plans!

It’s exciting to encourage and assist in our boys’ fifth week plans.

Where will we go?

What will we do?

Do we need rest and relaxation doing a whole lot of nothing?

Or would we enjoy lots of outside time or a quick trip somewhere?

They can help us budget, map out hikes, and pack the essentials.

It’s an amazing way to train up adults who are cognizant of the balance between work and rest .

Final Thoughts

I pray this finds you excited or at least interested.

This has added such an element of fun to our homeschool experience.

Would you try homeschooling year round?

Have you done it before with a different schedule?

I’d love to hear what you think of this in the comments below!

How and why we love year-round homeschool as a fun, easy-going, and enjoyable school option in all seasons of the year and in life.

How We Beat Covid Naturally

It took two years, but there we were: Covid.

Losing our smell and taste (how we got it back fast!), headache, achy joints.

All of it.

Spoiler: We each experienced symptoms for only 1 and a half days.

The following is, I believe, why.

Our family beat Covid naturally with these simple items and tricks every home should have in their wellness arsenal.

Pre-Game

Not too much changed for us when we learned about Covid in November of 2019.

We still ate whole, organic foods that I prepared for us. We very rarely eat outside the home.

Young Living toxin-free products kept our bodies from pesticide, synthetic, and fragrance burden.

We’d been antibiotic and prescription free for almost 4 years when the world locked down in March of 2020.

I trust that our pregame health measures were huge in getting us through Covid easily.

Where I Went Wrong

The busyness of Christmas along with family deaths meant I took my eye off the ball for a few weeks.

I wasn’t giving anyone Thieves and honey as preventative.

We weren’t making sure we put Lemon oil in our water all day to flush out any ickiness.

I wasn’t filling diffusers each day.

And on top of it all, we were eating more sugar than usual, lowering our immune systems.

Our family beat Covid naturally with these simple items and tricks every home should have in their wellness arsenal.

Caught it From the Kids

Both boys complained of achyness in their lower back (in the same spot).

Our functional medicine doc said their immune function needed some boosting. After a day-and-a-half of supplementing, they were back to normal.

To be fair, they never really slowed down…kids!

They had no other symptoms except one morning each of a mild headache and some smelling issues.

Knowing they were low on immune function, I did go back to adding in our preventatives and our detox/flushing.

Then a few days later, like a ton of bricks, it hit me: the headache.

Our family beat Covid naturally with these simple items and tricks every home should have in their wellness arsenal.

Taking Action

These are powerful tools every home should add to their wellness arsenal as soon as possible.

Building up and Knocking Out

  • Inner Defense: Every 3 hours when symptoms were at their worst. 3 times per day the second and third days. How we ever lived without Inner Defense is beyond me. It. Just. Works.
  • Geranium + Lemon oils: We always have these on hand. I like Geranium for my skin and hair. Lemon is amazing for so many things, (read more here) outside of kicking this “big bad” illness. I put one drop of each on my spine, undiluted, every hour while I had symptoms.
Our family beat Covid naturally with these simple items and tricks every home should have in their wellness arsenal.

Flushing Out the Bad

  • Quality water + Lemon oil + AminoWise: Lemon oil in water (no plastic!) for flushing out the gunk. AminoWise for the zinc, branched-chain amino acids, antioxidants, and minerals. It also supported my sore muscles, and produced nitric oxide, which can improve vascular blood flow. I drank this in 32 ounces of water as much as I could.
Our family beat Covid naturally with these simple items and tricks every home should have in their wellness arsenal.

Soothers

  • Deep Relief + M-Grain: For the sinus pressure and headache during Covid, I applied these as often as I felt pain or pressure. They were my only relief along with an ice pack.
  • Peppermint + Lime: My fever never got out of control (shaky/painful). I embraced it and thanked God for something else that would allow me to beat this quickly. I was prepared to bring my fever down if needed. Add one drop of each to 4 drops of carrier oil (any fatty oil like olive, almond, coconut, etc). You can apply to the spine. I’ll also apply without carrier to the bottoms of my feet until it comes down to a comfortable level. You can read more about our experience with fever since toxin-free here.
Our family beat Covid naturally with these simple items and tricks every home should have in their wellness arsenal.

Kick the Covid Cough!

  • Thieves Chest Rub + Cedarwood: Covid was the first cough that’s gotten me in a while. I typically fight it off with Peppermint and Cedarwood as soon as I sniffle. However, I coughed more than I had in years with this one. These two are always on our shelves just in case. I’m so glad I had them in our health arsenal for when I needed them most.

  • Thieves Cough Drops: When it was socially acceptable to go back into the world, I needed my cough drops. While I’d kicked it mostly, a tickle would make me look like patient zero while with family and friends. Thieves Cough Drops are an investment I’m always glad we’ve made. They work so well without the synthetics and immune suppressors you find in even “natural” store drops.
Our family beat Covid naturally with these simple items and tricks every home should have in their wellness arsenal.

Food as Medicine

  • Organic foods/fruits and veggies: I know; this one is obvious. I focused on what I could keep down that first day when nothing looked good to eat. Mostly I had apples and carrots. I had one slice of homemade bread and felt like I’d had an entire meal. It’s always my belief that quality food is medicine, and this was no exception.

  • Zero Sugar for a solid week or more: Sugar weakens our immune system like crazy. The sad fact is, it’s in so many of the “get better” junk on the shelves. It’s why I refuse to take any cold medicine, cough syrup, cough drops, electrolyte drink, etc. They simply make matters worse. I’ll stick to my Young Living pesticide-free, synthetic-free stuff that works, thank you!

Three Key Players

  • DetoxZyme, Super Vitamin D, Super C: DetoxZyme-The name says it all. There’s a toxin in my body or I wouldn’t feel like garbage. Out with the bad, in with the good! Super Vitamin D-I’m sure you’ve read about how helpful this is for all illness. It’s especially been in the news since Covid really hit in March 2020. Finally Super C– because vitamin C is great! However, it’s harmful if you’re taking the in-store junk with synthetics, added sugar, or sugar substitutes.

Smell and Taste Back in 7 Days!

The easiest and most effective way to get your smell and taste back after fighting Covid. Just one more perk of toxin-free living!

Losing your smell and taste is the most surreal feeling, isn’t it?

You know how something should taste or smell, but you just…can’t.

The worst part for our family was that it happened during the Christmas season!

The best food.

Cozy smells.

All gone.

I was determined to get it back and fast.

4 Bottles + 4 Minutes Per Day

All we used was 4 oils.

Yep, that’s it!

You’re looking at 100 drops for each 5mL bottle and 300 for each 15mL, so these oils will last you a long while!

If you choose Subscribe and Save, you’ll be given a 24% discount at checkout.

You are NOT locked into anything and can cancel anytime.

BUT, when you get such great results with this, I’m willing to bet you’ll be wondering what else you can do with this toxin-free lifestyle!

The How To:

Oils you’ll need:

  • Clove
  • Lemon
  • Eucalyptus Radiata
  • Rose (I actually didn’t have Rose, so I used a blend called “Gathering.” Other blends with Rose in it are Awaken, Forgiveness, Gentle Baby, Harmony, Highest Potential, Humility, Joy, and White Angelica.

*Note: we had these oils on hand because we use them for so many other things! They were simply a part of our health arsenal we depend on all of the time.

What you’ll do:

  1. Put one drop of the first oil in the palm of your hand and bring it close to your nose, breathing in deeply for 20 seconds.
  2. Wait five seconds and repeat with each of the following oils.
  3. Do this twice a day.

That’s it!

The easiest and most effective way to get your smell and taste back after fighting Covid. Just one more perk of toxin-free living!

Consistency Matters

Are you like me and think you might forget?

Set an alarm!

Keep working toward getting your smell and taste back. Set your mind to never give up.

For the first six days I didn’t think anything was happening, and then day 7, I could smell a little something!

It was so exciting!

Each day from then on it got better.

I stopped once I was back to normal just a few days later.

Extra Perks to the Toxin Free Lifestyle

Because my body hadn’t been burdened with fragrance, synthetics, or prescriptions for the last five and a half years, Covid didn’t rock my world too much.

It was definitely a different feeling, and I’ve never lost smell and taste before, but I was only down for a total of one-and-a-half days.

The first day was rough, especially with achy muscles, but I leaned heavily on my Young Living products and oils. By day two I was doing house chores.

This is how it affected my husband, too.

We didn’t even know both of our boys had it except for an occasional complaint of achyness we thought was growing pains…they gave it to us!

This is just one of the many ways we know Young Living is one of the best decisions we’ve ever made!

The easiest and most effective way to get your smell and taste back after fighting Covid. Just one more perk of toxin-free living!

Natural, Effective Seasonal Relief!

Seasonal relief shouldn't mean reaching for expensive and harmful over-the-counters. This is a much simpler and healthier solution!

Seasonal relief is so simple!

After 6 years of research and digging into every company I possibly can, I will only in good conscience recommend this pesticide-free, synthetic-free, fragrance-free, and hand-weeded company. Here’s why.

Recipe

1 drop of each:

Lemon essential oil

Peppermint essential oil

Lavender essential oil

Seasonal relief shouldn't mean reaching for expensive and harmful over-the-counters. This is a much simpler and healthier solution!

How to Get Relief

There are two ways to use this blend.

I suggest you do both.

Method 1: Inhale

Put the oils in the palm of your hand. Rub them together. Cup your hands and cover your nose and mouth to breath the blend in deeply.

Do this a few times until you feel relief and repeat as necessary.

We like to carry a rollerbottle with us because it travels so well.

For that, add 10 drops of each oil and fill the rest of the bottle with your choice of carrier oil.

Carrier oil is just a fatty oil you have in the kitchen like olive, sweet almond, grapeseed, jojoba, or coconut oils.

*For rollerbottle recipes, you’ll need liquid coconut oil like I linked above.

OR

You can also diffuse. My forever favorite diffuser is the 12 hour Desert Mist by Young Living.

Method 2: Ingest

Put one drop each in a vegetable capsule (you can get these here) and take with a glass of water as needed.

OR

Put one drop of each in raw, local honey (said to have its own allergy-busting benefits) and take as needed.

OR

Put one drop of each of the three oils in raw milk and take as needed.

Consistency is Key!

You’ll need to continue using this for relief as often as needed.

It’s amazing that with how often your allergies kick up, you can be free from scary ingredients.

In fact, you’ll be supporting your entire body while doing so!

There is a belief that allergies, while common, are not normal.

Until you sort all of that out, keep consistent and carry your oils with you, so you don’t have to reach for the dangerous over-the-counter junk.

I’m so grateful with what we can do with a truly clean, toxin-free routine!

You're not alone. Let me help you create the safest,healthiest home possible for the least expense.

12 Easy + Powerful Ways to Use Lemon Oil

What is Lemon Oil?

(I can only safely and in good conscience recommend Lemon oil from this pesticide-free/synthetic-free oil company).

  • $6. 50 for 100 “doses/drops” or $11 for 300 “doses/drops” from the link below for “lemon.”
  • You can Subscribe and Save for every 1, 2, or 3 months. Whatever you need!

Lemon oil is cold-pressed from the rind of lemons.

It has a neutral pH, something you don’t get when squeezing the acidic insides into drinks.

It supports your circulatory, respiratory, renal, and digestive systems.

Lemon also supports a healthy memory, vibrant skin, and balanced emotional health.

12 easy and powerful ways to use Lemon oil in your home that will make life, health, and keeping a home simple!

12 Easy Ways to Use Lemon Essential Oil

  1. Seasonal Relief
  2. Happiness/mood support
  3. Nighttime Lip Serum
  4. Clean home and uplifting home smell
  5. Immune support
  6. Large intestine support
  7. Liver support (had a lot of Acetaminophen in your life?)
  8. Spleen support
  9. Nail bed support
  10. Respiratory support
  11. Sinus support
  12. Healthy weight support
12 easy and powerful ways to use Lemon oil in your home that will make life, health, and keeping a home simple!

How to Use Lemon Oil

There are three ways to use Lemon essential oil.

1. Topical

Mix one drop Lemon oil with 1 drop carrier.

Rub into skin where needed, avoiding places that will see the sun.

Some good places to apply are the spine, brain stem, and bottoms of your feet.

Carrier is just a fatty oil you have around the house like coconut, jojoba, almond, olive, etc. They help dilute, stretch, and absorb the lemon oil better.

2. Aromatic

Put a few drops in a diffuser.

My favorite will forever be the Desert Mist 12 hour diffuser from Young Living.

You can also put a drop of Lemon into the palm of your hand, rub them together, cup and inhale deeply.

Internal

Because Young Living is hand-weeded, synthetic-free, additive-free, and pesticide-free, we’ve had tremendous success ingesting Lemon essential oil.

Put 3 drops in a vegetable capsule (available on the Young Living website) and take 3 times daily.

We put lemon in our water (no plastic bottles!) all day to help detox any pollutants or toxins we take in from the world or food we encounter.

One simple step toward toxin free.

Get Strong, Healthy Lungs

It's easy to get strong, healthy lungs, but you won't find that in the mainstream news. Get healthy lungs with this simple solution!

Are You Harming Your Lungs?

The top lung-suppressing items are commonly found in our homes.

How many times a day are you burdening your lungs?

  • Laundry detergent and dryer sheets (Even fragrance-free has fragrance. They’re labeled “emulsifiers” and are masked by heavy chemicals so they smell “free.”)
  • Air fresheners, candles, wax melts, etc.
  • Household cleaners (even fragrance-free)
  • Perfumes and colognes
  • Makeup, personal care (lotions, shampoo/conditioner, creams, etc)

Did you notice the common factor was synthetic fragrance?

Did you know many synthetic fragrances have been labeled carcinogenic yet are still allowed to be used in the United States?

It's easy to get strong, healthy lungs, but you won't find that in the mainstream news. Get healthy lungs with this simple solution!

Don’t Be Fooled

Even when you buy “organic” essential oils at the store, they’re loaded with synthetics and fillers!

What’s a family to do?

Decide for yourself what’s truly healthy.

What will you allow in your home?

Who earns your business?

It's easy to get strong, healthy lungs, but you won't find that in the mainstream news. Get healthy lungs with this simple solution!

Here’s our quick checklist:

  1. Is it pesticide free? How can I be sure?
  2. Did the company add synthetic fragrance?
  3. Is it crazy cheap–this is a big, red flag.

I’ve searched for 6 long years for something that’s truly safe.

The only product line that fits into all three on our checklist is Young Living (you can read why here).

The great news?

It’s so super concentrated that we save money even though the price tag looks more expensive.

How?

Read on!

Be Proactive

Once you drag those lung-suppressing items out of your home, you get the most amazing benefit.

Living proactively!

Now you’re not weighing your body down with toxins in the form of pesticides and synthetic fragrance and additives.

This means you can use Young Living to strengthen your lungs!

Yes! It’s true!

It's easy to get strong, healthy lungs, but you won't find that in the mainstream news. Get healthy lungs with this simple solution!

The Right Tool

First, you need the R.C. oil blend. <–Click the link to get it. (I can only, in good conscience, recommend Young Living. See why here.)

In a 5mL, $11 bottle, you get 100 “doses.”

We get to use this proactively and if we get a cough! How great is that?!

To get the same with generic cough syrup, you’d have to buy seven of their $9 bottles. That’s $63!

Not to mention R.C. is pesticide-free, synthetic-free, and powerful.

Cough syrups (even “natural” ones) have immune-suppressing sugar, dyes, and synthetics along with drugs that harm your body.

See how easy it is to switch? Save your money and your health!

Easy Use

It’s so crazy-easy to use R.C.!

You can use it on your chest or in a diffuser.

I suggest you use it both ways.

Here’s how:

Topical (on your chest):

Put one drop of R.C. in the palm of your hand (cup your hand) with 4 drops of carrier oil (if more than that comes out, no biggie!).

Carrier oil is just a fatty oil you have in your kitchen.

A lot of people use olive, grapeseed, or coconut oils. It doesn’t matter what you use–(well, don’t use vegetable oil, but that’s another wellness topic for another day).

This is to stretch the R.C. and help it absorb into your skin.

Mix together and rub over your chest, throat, and lungs a few times a day.

Diffuser

Simply fill your diffuser (I like this one) to the fill line and put oil inside.

The diffuser I chose was a large one, so I put 20 drops inside for the 40 hour setting.

If I use a smaller diffuser like this one, I’ll just put in 3 or 4 drops of R.C. for its 5 hour setting.

My favorite diffuser will always be the Young Living Desert Mist diffuser that runs 12 hours!

It's easy to get strong, healthy lungs, but you won't find that in the mainstream news. Get healthy lungs with this simple solution!

Keep It Simple!

The easiest way to get this toxin-free life is to keep it simple.

For us, I knew what I wanted to tackle first: our air quality.

So, I clicked this link , made an account, chose Subscribe and Save, and made sure my PV (point value) was always at least 50.

This way I could get up to 25% back in points to spend like cash (AKA get free stuff) and enjoy a 24% discount on everything we needed to make our home healthy.

When they began the 100PV get free shipping program, I now make sure my order hits that mark! Love me some free shipping!

Here’s what I think makes an amazing first month order:

  • Diffuser (I like the Desert Mist) It comes with two free oils!
  • R.C. oil blend
  • Thieves Household Cleaner (read about how this allows you to stop buying all other cleaners here)

Looking at this first order is so exciting!

Why?

It's easy to get strong, healthy lungs, but you won't find that in the mainstream news. Get healthy lungs with this simple solution!

Because just look at the huge change you’ve made for your health in just three easy clicks!

From this order you now can stop buying the following:

  • Candles or any type of synthetic fragrance
  • Cough syrup
  • EVERY. SINGLE. CLEANER. YOU’VE. EVER. BOUGHT. YAY!!!

The cleaners are so hard on your lungs, friend! And Thieves Household Cleaner does it all!

Want ideas for the following months?

Read this!

You’ve GOT This!

You can do this!

Bit by bit.

Month by month.

You can make careful choices, save time, money, and health.

You can live free and proactive!

It's easy to get strong, healthy lungs, but you won't find that in the mainstream news. Get healthy lungs with this simple solution!

Natural Bleach Alternative

Natural Bleach Alternative

This natural bleach alternative works!

It’s super simple to put together, stores nicely, and is something the whole family can use.

What a relief to know that your surfaces are clean, your whites are white, and your home isn’t toxic.

Natural bleach alternative that works.

Ingredients List

Glass jar like this one

3/4C hydrogen peroxide (I use this one)

1/4C lemon juice

15 drops Young Living Lemon oil (why we only trust YL here)

3/4 C baking soda

1/4C Thieves Household Cleaner (the only household cleaner you need!)

7C water

Directions

Mix all ingredients in the 1/2 gallon jar.

For laundry, use 1C per load, or use in sinks and tubs like you would regular bleach.

Printable

You can get the free printable below right here.

Do you have a Young Living Recipe book like this one? How cute is it?!

Natural bleach alternative that works.

Why Traditional Bleach is Highly Toxic

You probably already know bleach isn’t good for you based on the smell.

If you’d like to read solid research behind why bleach is toxic, here’s a site I trust.

Where to Use

We like to use this bleach on the following areas of our home:

  • Laundry whites
  • Sinks
  • Tubs
  • Showers
  • White tile
  • Pest/rodent repellant (add Peppermint essential oil to boost)
  • Wipe down counters (that can handle bleach–be careful!)

A New Generation of Clean

Our boys help clean our home because we know Thieves Household Cleaner or alternative bleach mixes like this are safe.

We do our research on cleaners and essential oils.

It had to be Young Living and no other brand after months of learning.

Now, we work together as a family to take care of our home.

Our children learn the value of hard work in keeping a clean and safe, toxin-free environment young.

This means they’ll pass this on to their children creating a new generational health.

It helps restore minerals lost when sick, so we add it to water and lemon as we fight anything icky.

I also love this for when I feel a headache coming on!

6 Fall Health Essentials

NingXia Red

I could go on and on about my favorite supplement, NingXia Red.

If you’d like to read more, read this article: NingXia Red: Antiaging Superfruit.

6 Fall Health Essentials

Clove

According to Life Science Publishing, Clove was, “reputed to be part of the Marseilles Vinegar AKA Four Thieves Vinegar that bandits who robbed the dead and dying used to protect themselves during the 15th century plague.”

How to Use Clove Essential Oil:

  • Keep bees at bay: 20 drops Clove, 10 drops Tea Tree, and 10 drops Citronella in a 15mL roller bottle + carrier of choice

Love me some NingXia Nitro!

Here’s what one little shot of it will do (Lifescience Publishing):

  • increase cognitive alertness
  • enhance mental fitness
  • promote energy
  • support overall performance
  • speeds up physical recovery
  • increases overall energy reserves
  • avoids typical caffeine crash
6 Fall Health Essentials

ImmuPower

According to Life Science Publishing, this oil blend, “Strengthens immunity and DNA repair in the cells.”

How to Use this powerful blend:

  • 1 drop oil with 4 drops carrier applied around navel, chest, temples, wrists and on bottoms of feet.
  • Use with Raindrop Technique

This has a pretty strong smell, so if you’re using it in your prevention routine, I’d suggest bottoms of feet.

6 Fall Health Essentials

Your Wellness Routine

Do you think about wellness or illness?

Are you waiting to get sick and then take care of yourself?

Are eating well and exercising the only ways you prevent illness and promote wellness?

Have you created a wellness routine?

Practice Makes Healthy Homes

Make adding new wellness practices simple.

Add something new each month and pair it with what you’re already used to doing each day.

For example, I always get dressed for the day.

It makes sense that my wellness roller goes in my closet where I’ll remember to apply to my feet.

I have breakfast each morning.

Near the kitchen sink, I keep my morning wellness oils and vegetable capsules.

I open the curtains around the house each morning.

I take water infused with the oils of the day around with me, so I can fill my 12 hour diffuser as I open the house.

See?

Easier when you think about keeping it simple, isn’t it?

Have a happy and healthy fall!

4. Keep Up With Your Health

I love Subscribe and Save for more than just the free stuff (like 100PV’s free shipping).

Our family’s health has greatly benefited from me keeping up with this for the last five years.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, right?

That applies when it comes to thinking about health.

I can’t ever think of a time I ever thought about our wellness before Young Living.

Oh, I thought about illness all the time.

But health?

Nope.

Now with each month’s subscription on the day of my choosing, I’ve got my phone’s alarm ready to remind me to get my order in the day before.

What’s this mean?

That every single month I assess our family’s wellness instead of waiting on our family’s illness.

It’s been the best!

5. Share the Wealth!

How are you going to have access to a truly healthy lifestyle and not tell everyone you know?

Can you imagine having an endless supply of 24% coupons for your favorite store but not giving them to everyone you love?

Or can you fathom having a bonus coupon for up to 25% back for free stuff in that store and not giving them that, too?!

Exactly!

Oh, and guess what?

You’ll see a balance of money when you login that you can use to help pay for your Subscribe and Save boxes each month!

Here’s how to give Young Living to anyone:

Grab your diffuser; this year we’re creating a strong offense for your health.

Why Diffuse?

We use our diffuser every day for our health.

Thankfully, our 12 hour Desert Mist Diffuser makes it super simple to fill just twice!

  • Diffusing purifies the air (if you’re using Young Living oils)
  • Makes your home smell great
  • Zero flame
  • Can increase concentration and memory function
  • Eliminates pollutants and odors
  • Maintains a healthy immune system
  • Relieves tension
  • Improves mood
  • Supports all the systems of the body
  • If using YL, zero pesticides and fragrance

Types of Diffusers

While I’ve used other diffusers from Amazon like this one, and they’ve been okay, Young Living diffusers get top billing in my opinion.

Their medical-grade plastic and long diffusing settings are amazing.

Their look is even better.

32 Seriously Impressive Uses for Basil!

If Basil essential oil isn’t in your life yet, it’s invaluable! Get cha some!

For less than a penny a serving, it’s a staple in the Marshall home.

*Note: When figuring how much you’re getting for the price, divide the cost by 300 for 15mL and 100 for 5mL.*

Do you know how to get the most from your Basil essential oil? These 32 seriously impressive uses are practical and so helpful!

What Clinical Studies Have Shown

When distilling the Basil leaf, it has been shown to have anti-cancer properties. Just to be clear, I’m not aiming to heal, treat, or cure a dang thing. I’m just sharing what the ole scientists have reported. K? K. 😉

They have also found that it demonstrated strong bactericidal action against microorganisms.

Basil strengthens circulatory, muscular, skeletal, immune, and respiratory systems. YAY for that goodness!

Who Can Use It?

  • Epileptics should not use Basil.
  • Those with high blood pressure should talk to their doc first before using it.
  • Don’t use if you’re pregnant.
  • No internal use for children under 6.

How to Dilute It

Dilute 1 drop Basil to 4 drops V-6 or other carrier before applying to skin or taking internally.

You can ingest the Young Living oil because it’s pesticide free, synthetic free, and fragrance free!

No harmful junk.

Can you find any other oil brand to say this?

I searched for 9 long months and could only find YL!

Do you know how to get the most from your Basil essential oil? These 32 seriously impressive uses are practical and so helpful!

Not a New Remedy

According to Life Science Publishing, Basil goes waaaay back.

“Used extensively in traditional Asian Indian medicine, Basil’s name is derived from “basileum,” the Greek name for king. In the 16th century, the powdered leaves were inhaled to treat migraines and chest infections. The Hindu people put basil sprigs on the chests of the dead to protect them from evil spirits. Italian women wore basil to attract possible suitors. It was listed in Hildegard’s Medicine, a compilation of early German medicines by highly regarded Benedictine herbalist Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179).“

Blends that have Basil In Them:

Want more Basil in your life?

Trying to avoid it because you’re one of those peeps listed above who shouldn’t use it?

It’s also in the following oil blends:

  • Aroma Siez
  • Clarity
  • M-Grain

PRACTICAL WAYS WE USE BASIL:

Let’s get down to it!

Pin this or dig out your special oily notebook and add these for future use!

1.) Growing pains! Dilute and apply right to the sore shins or knees (that’s where our boys hurt the most) or wherever it’s needed.

2.) Use as a part of the Raindrop Technique (included in Kitty and dog Raindrop as well!)

3.) Add to shampoo or conditioner for extra shine.

4.) Add a drop or two to the bath to help wind down at the end of a stressful day.

5) Three drops Basil + 1 dropper of CBD Base for sore muscles.

6.) Add a drop to marinades or pasta sauces for amazing flavor!

7.) Get more basil oil in your diet when enjoying one of our Slique Shakes.

8.) Dilute and apply to brainstem area when dealing with confusion.

9.) Put one drop neat into the palm of your hand, cup hands, bring to nose, and breathe in deeply when needing to refocus and concentrate.

10.) Dilute and apply to brainstem area and breathe in deeply when walking through emotional shock.

—————————————

11.) Enjoy the benefits of Basil when taking ICP (Intestinal Fiber Cleanse).

12.) Add a drop to your minestrone soup.

13.) Dilute and use daily either topically or internally for bone and joint support.

14.) Add alongside MindWise in your 2 oz of NingXia Red each day to support a healthy memory.

15.) I can dilute and either use with a cold compress on my joints affected by bursitis or take it internally to help. What a thing to be grateful for!

16.) Dilute and put on any ligament sprains or tears this house of athletes may suffer! I can take 15 drops of Aroma Siez (has Basil in it) and add it to 5 drops Lemongrass and apply 3-6 times per day.

17.) Add to veggie capsule for heartburn (it always strikes me right before bed–ugh!): 8 drops Sage, 3 drops Sacred Sandalwood, 2 drops Basil, 1 drop Palo Santo. You can use any single or mix of these oils you have.

18.) Dizziness! While I’ll need to figure out the root cause of any time I’m experiencing dizziness, I’ll grab the Basil and put a single drop under my nose to feel better first.

19.) This one has been put to the test a few times in our house: Place 2 drops Basil on a small piece of cotton and place it in our ear when we have an earache. I’ll also dilute it and rub it around (but not in!) our ear. This is one of the most amazing things we’ve experienced with Basil. It’s our go-to.

20.) Likewise, we’ll do the same when we have ear infections. Of course, I also tag team it with taking Thieves in honey to help in the way it always does in our house–fighting that ick!

—————————————

21.) Ever get ringing in your ear? So thankful we can take a drop of Basil and rub it along our ears, on temples, forehead, and the back of our neck whenever we need that annoying bit to stop it right now!

22.) Mental fatigue hits me around that middle-of-the-day slump! Breathing in a drop of Basil in my cupped hands perks me right up!

23.) Put a drop on corns and calluses 3 times a day. I can also use this mixture: 4 drops basil, 2 drops Myrrh, 2 drops Cypress, 1 drop Oregano, and 1 drop Hinoki. I’d apply this directly to the corn/calluses undiluted.

24.) I have used this multiple times for migraine, and it just flat out works! Massage Basil onto temples, base of the neck, center of the forehead, and at nostril openings. Massage on thumbs and big toes. Place warm compress with 1-2 drops of Basil on the back of my neck. I like M-Grain (has Basil in it) for this. I’ll also press a drop of Thieves to the roof of my mouth. If it’s sinus related, I’ll also rub Deep Relief along my sinuses.

25.) Okay, listen up new mamas (or older mamas like me, cause this never goes away!): Hemorrhoids. YASSS. Okay, here’s what you do: add 4 drops Basil, 1 drop Cistus, 1 drop Cypress, and 1 drop Helichrysum (or whatever mix of those oils you have on hand) and mix it into some Rose Ointment. You can dip a cotton round into this if you don’t have Rose Ointment, or just spread it on one if you do and place it where the sun don’t shine. If it stings a little, that’s okay. You’re not hurting yourself, promise. We both know those things are buggers. By the next application, you should be feeling some relief. I know I do!

26.) Menstrual cramps,anyone? Grab that Basil! Dilute and rub over your lower back and stomach. Kick it up a notch in the relief department when you add the Basil to a warm compress. Ahhhhh!

—————————————

27.) Bruise from a kid running into you really hard? No? Just me? 🙂 Add some Basil to carrier and rub over the bruise a couple times a day.

28.) Charley Horse, muscle spasm, or cramps (ugh! Pregnancy attacked me on this front!). Grab some Sulferzyme and add a drop of Basil and chug, girl! Or, if you don’t much love the taste of a pizzeria in your delicious Sulferzyme, you can have your Basil on the side in a veggie capsule. 🙂

29.) In this computer-driven life, Carpal Tunnel can run rampant. I love that I can dilute Basil and massage this into where it hurts most.

30.) Okay, I know this is super “ew,” but I’ve had to use this before. Parasites (which are way more common than I realized!). Take 3 drops in milk or in a capsule twice a day for 7 nights before bed. Rest 7 nights. Do this three times/cycles. I experienced a huge difference.

31.) Poison Ivy/Sumac/Oak. How do my boys always find this stuff? I have gotten rid of it more than once using just oils. Put 4-6 drops Basil and 4-6 drops Peppermint diluted on the affected areas twice a day. You can also add it to a cold compress to help any swelling.

32.) Dilute and use on spine for good spine support and health. I have a disc issue. I love that I can put Basil right on the area when it hurts. Especially when I just seem to have nagging lower back pain. Same for my neck and sciatica (hello, pregnancy!)

7 Amazing Health Benefits of Angelica

Before I share these 7 amazing health benefits of Angelica, we must first make sure you’ve got the right oils.

Yeah, I know…but really.

Your health and safety is nothing to mess with.

We’re trying to be healthier here, right?

7 health benefits of Angelica, specific dilution instructions, and in what other blends you'll find this amazing plant.

7 Health Benefits of Angelica Oil

  • Digestive issues. 1 drop Angelica in 2-4 drops carrier oil. Rub on stomach.
  • Promote a healthy circulatory and nervous system. Why would you do this? Google how those two affect our health. Same dilution as above put on the bottoms of our feet.
  • Respiratory strength. Dilute and rub over lungs. I think 2020 taught us why we need a strong respiratory system!
  • When we just need to relax. Stressful day? Put a few drops in the diffuser and breathe in and out deeply.
  • When I’m feeling negative. You know how you can just get the grumps? Putting some of this diluted on my outer ear and over my brain stem is some real chill.
  • Hormone balancing. True, if I hadn’t switched to all Young Living toxin-free products, no amount of Angelica could stop the storm of hormonal crazy that the store bought stuff was doing to me. However, now that I’ve slowly ditched and switched over to less expensive Young Living, I can utilize Angelica’s full potential! I can put this diluted on my inner wrist.
  • Emotional release. Emotions can wreak havoc on our health. I wasn’t sure what I would think about The Emotion Code, but after seeing some huge improvements in my own health and my family’s, I can’t recommend it more! Pairing this technique with Angelica is powerful!

Can you believe all the health benefits of Angelica? It’s just one tiny plant!

7 health benefits of Angelica, specific dilution instructions, and in what other blends you'll find this amazing plant.

Angelica’s History

According to The Essential Oils Reference Guide, Angelica is “known as the “Holy Spirit Root” or the “Oil of Angels” by the Europeans. Its healing powers were so strong that it was believed to be of divine origin. From the time of Paracelsus, it was credited with the ability to protect from the plague. The stems were chewed during the plague of 1660 to prevent infection. When burned, the seeds and roots were thought to purify the air.”

Where Else Can You Find It?

The following oil blends contain Angelica.

If you like the benefits from this single oil and the uses from the other blends listed, these could be for you!

*Note: Each 5mL bottle has around 100 uses or “servings,” and each 15mL around 300. This can help keep pricing in the correct frame of mind. Also, don’t forget to “subscribe and save (24% discount)” or utilize the Loyalty Rewards program if you’re excited about going toxin-free.

  • Forgiveness
  • Grounding
  • Harmony
  • Surrender
  • T-Away (for pets)
  • Loyalty (not for sale; free with each year’s anniversary you’re in the Loyalty Rewards program! I use mine as perfume; it’s so lovely!)
  • Celebration

Extra Info.

*This is a single oil. Only one plant was distilled to create Angelica.

**It has high photosensitivity. If you’re heading into the sun, just wear it where the sun won’t touch (like the bottoms of your feet).

***Don’t use if you’re diabetic.

****Of course, if you’re pregnant, you’ll always speak to your healthcare provider before using anything new. This isn’t any different.

*****To dilute for babies 0-1, put one drop into 10 drops of carrier oil (any fatty oil like coconut, almond, or grapeseed).

******To dilute for ages 2-6, add 1 drop in 4 drops carrier.

*******For ages 7 and up use 1 drop Angelica in 1 drop carrier.

You can always add more carrier if you’d like.
