I don’t know about you, but if I’m stressed, my mind is racing.
That leads to my eyes wide open for hours.
So, I like to add oils to my Essential Rewards orders that can help with stress for many reasons, including sleep.
Some of my go-to essential oils for stress are Stress Away (Premium Kit), Tranquil, Release, and RutaVaLa.
Here’s a list of healthy ways to promote sleep through relieving stress:
For Children
Our kids have been so blessed with the best essential oils for sleep.
It’s become such a part of our routine, they know exactly where to grab what they need and how to apply it.
Here are some of our favorite sleep tips for children:
A toxin-free home, good nutrition, and a routine bedtime are all key to good sleep.
SleepyIze from the KidScents Line is great to do a light nighttime massage.
A couple drops of Peace & Calming on a favorite stuffed animal they snuggle with at night, so they can breathe in the goodness as they unwind during storytime.
A drop or two of Lavender and Stress Away in a warm bath before bed is a great way to start calming down before bedtime.
Massaging your oil of choice like Tranquil on the soles of their feet will help them fall asleep as well.
Dream Catcher Blend: Helps to open the mind, enhancing dreams. Helps children sleep more soundly.
How to Get This Goodness in Your Life!
To avoid the “Bandaid Effect” where we throw an oil on just to get us down one time, I highly suggest reading this.
When you’re ready to see your options, you can walk through everything, step-by-step here.
If you have any questions, I’d love to hear from you!
Email me at andrea@graceblossoms.com and we’ll connect.
I have such fun meeting you all and helping you through this new lifestyle!
If you have a wholesale account with Young Living, you automatically get a referral link.
The same way I can refer someone to my apartment building and get cash or a discount on next month’s rent, I can give my link to someone wanting this lifestyle.
The only break in the link between the apartment analogy and YL is that with Young Living, I then get a kickback every time that person orders whereas I only benefit once from my apartment referral.
We added up how much we spent the first year we only bought Young Living.
Then we added how much we spent the year before with doc co-pays, running to the pharmacy, over-the-counters, and buying everything else we get from YL at the store.
How much did we save?
Over TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.
It’s $2,000 less to live a life that won’t harm my organs, immune system, or hormones?
OKAY!
*I did not count in any of the money I made from sharing the referral link. Simply comparing orders from YL with life before it.*
The bandaid effect is the opposite of healthy living.
Your kid falls down, but there’s no scrape or bump or bruise in sight.
They insist they need a bandaid.
It’ll make them feel better. They just know it, Mama.
So you hand them their favorite character bandaid, kiss their boo boo, and magically they’re off running full speed.
We do this as adults, too.
Don’t believe me?
Take a look.
Everyday “Bandaids”
Ever find it frustrating that those cough drops and syrups don’t actually make your cough go away?
That your muscle cream doesn’t fix the strain?
When your sensitive toothpaste doesn’t stop the pain when you drink a cold glass of water?
That’s because the world around us is all marketing us toward the bandaid effect.
A fascade.
A temporary fix.
Root Causes
Raise your hand if you’ve asked a doctor what caused your illness just to hear they don’t know or there’s no known root cause.
We’ve been taught for generations to treat symptoms.
We now hold onto this idea to the point of not knowing what else to do.
Most every time someone reaches out to me about an essential oil, they’re really asking for the bandaid effect.
“Can you recommend an oil for sleep? For acne? For reflux?”
Why are you facing these issues?
Stress? Trauma? Gut issues?
I’m definitely not a doctor, so where do we go from there?
Responsible for Self
We’ve (unfairly) pushed the responsibility of our health onto our doctors then we’re frustrated when all they can give us are prescriptions for symptoms.
It’s time to step up our responsibility and do the hard work.
What does it take to advocate for your health?
You’ve got to get a few of your ducks in a row.
1. Your Lifestyle Products
You can read more about it here, but long story short, everything on the shelves made to look safe and healthy is greenwashed, which is a fancy word for a lie.
Hormonal, immune, organ, and overall body-destroying. The cleaners, washes, makeup, lotions–you name it– are all a marketing scheme.
They sell you a lotion with chemicals that dry your skin. Guess what you need more of?
And those chemicals? It’s perfectly legal even though they’re harmful to your body.
So, we switch to Young Living. Read here to find out why, after 9 months of research, that our family can only land on YL an no one else.
2. Your Food
Pesticides are a bigger problem than we realize.
They’re taking the nutrition right out of the food we need to survive.
I agree that organic (or even better biodynamic) foods are more expensive, and that can make things difficult.
Esepcially on a tight budget.
But here’s the great news.
Young Living as a lifestyle is about $2,000 less expensive per year than traditional in-store shopping (read all about that here).
Looks like your organics budget just blew wide open, friend.
3. Digging Up Roots
You know how your body feels.
And you know its history best.
If you can find a doctor who will dig in alongside you and supplement you instead of medicate you, you’ll be blown away by how much progress you’ll find.
It took far too long for me to find my doctor. Actually, my friend found him, and now I tell everyone about it!
Our mission is to restore optimum function to the body in order to help our patients experience life to its fullest. By removing stressors to the nervous system through chiropractic adjustments, nutrition supplementation, and neurofeedback, we aim to release the innate ability of the body to self-heal and thrive.
To put this into perspective, I fought cystic acne with meds and then finally with my own natural route (applying oils topically) for 17 years in total.
After changing up the type of doctor I saw, I’m almost completely clear-skinned only 8 months later.
And we did it all with zero meds.
You Can Do This!
After hearing a woman in one of my oil classes say she’d have to ask her doctor if she could look into possible root problems, I knew I’d need to write this.
This is your body.
No one else’s.
You can live well because your body was fearfully and wonderfully made to be healthy!
Get Started with this New Healthy Lifestyle!
Your next step toward escaping the bandaid effect is right here.
It’ll walk you through each step and show you all of your options.
However, if you’re in need of some one-on-one conversation to help you through or to get some questions answered, email me any time!
andrea@graceblossoms.com.
I love to hear from my readers. to help your families live and feel like we do is a blessing.
You’ll get exclusive group support, easy and clear directions, and see real results for this cleanse when you get your supplies here.
What is a PetroChemical Cleanse?
It wipes out the toxins stored in your fat cells from years of exposure and helps smooth the cellulite on your thighs, hips, and waistline.
It can even drop some inches, which I’m always down for!
What Do You Need?
Read here about why, after 9 months of research, and over four-and-a-half years using Young Living, we can’t bring ourselves to use any other oils (or lifestyle products) but YL.
Supplies you’ll need:
Citrus Fresh oil blend
Ledum (or JuvaCleanse) essential oil
Grapefruit essential oil
One bag of 00 vegetable capsules (I use Young Living’s Vegetable Capsules)
Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil (you can read all about this here!)
Your full ingredients list with amounts and directions are in our exclusive group for supporting our members when you shop here.
Important Notes
Don’t skip the Grapefruit capsule.
You’re breaking down toxins and you need the Grapefruit oil to escort that nastiness right out of your body.
Without the Grapefruit oil, you’ll feel rough because those toxins won’t be leaving your body but instead having a little party on your insides.
If you’d like, this would be a great time to supplement with other antioxidants like NingXia Red, or applying Thyme and Clove essential oils to the bottoms of your feet after you apply your cleansing oils.
Drink lots of water.
Flushing requires a “flusher,” and what better to tea, up with the Grapefruit oil than good, ole fashioned H2O?
Ten Ways to Seriously Beef Up Your Results
Working out and eating clean
Dry brushing to stimulate your lymphatic system and helping the cleanse a ton (directions here)
Measure out your water. On a normal day, drinking about half your weight in water is good, so bumping it up a bit will be great!
Add a Fascia Blaster like this one to your targeted zones during the cleanse after you apply your Citrus Fresh/Ledum (or JuvaCleanse)/Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil combo.
Add products from the Young Living Slique line to your 6 week cleanse.
Make this the time you choose to get to bed around the same time each day. Use oils like Peace & Calming, Stress Away, and Valor (all from the Premium Starter Kit) to diffuse and apply topically before bed for better rest.
Add in Young Living’s Essentialzymes or Essentialzymes-4 right before your biggest meal of the day. I’ve been amazed at what adding enzymes to my diet can do!
Ditch and Switch your products to Young Living’s cleaning and personal care during and after your cleanse to help reduce and seriously knock out sources of petrochemicals.
Stop drinking from, storing, and eating off plastic. Never put essential oils into plastic!
Find times of quiet for deep diaphragm breathing to reduce stress and allow your body to soak in the goodness and release the gunk!
Plateaus
If you plateau, take that as a sign your body has pulled as many toxins out of that area as it can.
This is a one-time protocol.
That means consistency matters.
Long Term Benefits
Once or twice a week for a lifetime can help your body purge the toxins that continue to find their way in.
You’ll not see those obvious changes like you did during your cleanse, but that’s okay.
We know from the cleanse that big things are happening.
Your energy levels and how you’ll feel overall will be all you need to keep this as a part of your weekly routine.
Before + After?
It’s always fun to see how far you’ve come, isn’t it?
Measure around your target areas.
For example, measure around the belly button and at the hips for your stomach.
Measure the widest spots everywhere else.
Keep track of your progress, and get excited for doing something so great for your health!
Snag the printable and follow the arrows with gentle, even strokes.
Remember, consistency is key to results.
How to Get the Oils
Getting the oils is simple. This link will walk you through each step and explain your options for purchase.
If you have any questions at all, let’s chat! I’m just an email away andrea@graceblossoms.com.
I love hearing from my readers and helping you get set up. We can connect, and you’ll be really thankful when you start your oily journey all the support you’ll receive (that you choose how much or how little of!).
I love it, so let’s jump in to learn all about it!
Sourcing
Did you know that women apply over 300 harmful chemicals before breakfast?
And here’s the scary thing: on the whole, people are actually trying to cut back on toxins.
So, we buy the earthy labels that say words like, “non-GMO” and “natural” and even “100% therapeutic” yet use other harmful pesticide-sprayed plant material, fragrance, etc.
Because of this struggle, we only use products like Cel-Lite Magic because it comes from Young Living.
Young Living’s Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil does the following:
Detoxification
Cleansing
Improving skin texture
Enhances circulation
Provides nutrients
Helps reduce the appearance of fat and cellulite
What’s in It?
Like all other 600+ products from Young Living, every ingredient is fragrance-free, synthetic-free, toxin-free, and pesticide-free.
Here’s the ingredients list:
Caprylic/capric triglyceride (coconut oil)
grape seed oil
wheat germ oil
sweet almond oil
olive oil
Grapefruit essential oil
Cypress essential oil
Cedarwood essential oil
Juniper essential oil
Clary Sage essential oil
How to Use It
It’s super simple!
Just massage on locations where you need some firming and toning. You can use in massage or you can even add it to bath water. Just make sure to shake it up before you use it!
Another great way to use it is after dry brushing. Grab your free printable for detox dry brushing with this oil here.
When you read this graphic, I’d encourage you to really think about what each of these truths about Young Living really means for your family’s health.
Simply amazing!
How to Use Essential Oils
You guys, it’s super easy.
I promise.
Questions?
You’ll have a direct line to me and tens of thousands of people to weigh in on anything you’d like to ask.
Here are the basics:
Carrier Oils
Don’t let carrier oils freak you out.
They’re easy as pie.
Fatty oils like olive, coconut, jojoba, almond, grapeseed, etc. all work.
Use what you’ve got in your pantry for now.
You’ll figure out which carriers you like best as you learn more.
You’ve got this!
In our education communities we provide simple dilution ratios for babies, kids, and elderly to make life even easier.
All Parts of the Home with the Whole Family
My husband, the kids, and I have all learned together on this journey with essential oils.
The friend who helped me get the best oils on the planet heard I’d walked away from teaching to come home to my boys.
She asked if I’d like to tell people about Young Living however I felt most comfortable.
I’d get a huge part of our home’s needs covered financially.
Cleaning, personal care, over-the-counters, natural remedies, makeup, kid care, and dog care.
All covered when I helped other families become healthy, too.
About a year-and-a-half later I was more than covering this part of our budget.
After taking away a large chunk of our financial stability, this felt amazing.
Even better, we were healthier and paying almost no co-pays anymore.
We saw other families changing and becoming healthier.
I fell in love with this company and their mission bigger than I ever thought possible.
Getting to a Farm
I couldn’t believe it!
I’d made it to the Mona farm in Utah.
I got to see the distillation, the growing, the baby plants, the fields.
And I can’t wait to see more all over the world!
This is me taking the picture and my friend, Laurie, who helped me get started is in the purple shirt.
That trip changed how I viewed not just YL but every company I shop with.
If they could create what they do without pesticides or synthetics or fragrance, so could everyone else.
They became my new standard.
I saw with my own two eyes, deep in the heart of those beautiful mountains, on a gorgeous day in Utah what I was sharing here on my blog and in person with the people I care about most.
And it felt good.
Nerd Alert: I Love the Distillation Process!
Laugh it up, friends.
I’m nerdy for distillation!
It is, in a word, fascinating!
I learned more about how our founder studied ancient distillation practices as I breathed in the lavender being distilled that day.
Okay, this is going to sound crazy, but…
The whole farm smelled like Fruity Pebbles, and everyone was at max chill.
Lines like crazy. Hours of waiting. And yet…total…calm.
I was in awe of the huge drums, the oil I could smell and see being made, the steam coming up through the grates.
There were no words.
I just kept walking, eyes wide, taking in all of the careful process.
All too clear was the reason why I could never go back to the way I used to do life.
They’re the first company I’d ever seen actually care about my family’s health.
This first-aid spray is for minor cuts and abrasions. If you have a serious cut or wound, consult your physician.
Pour distilled water into spray bottle. Add the drops of essential oils, and shake to mix.
Clean all cuts and abrasions thoroughly and then spray the area with the first-aid spray.
You may want to cover the area with the sterile gauze to which you have applied 3 drops of Lavender.
This application should be repeated 2 times daily as necessary.
After 3 days, you should allow the cut or abrasion to be exposed to the air, if possible.
Must Know Info:
I can only suggest Young Living essential oils because:
They’re the only pesticide-free grown essential oil (no, not even organic pesticides)
There are zero synthetics added.
There are no fragrances added.
I can see all this with my own two eyes (and have) by going to the farms all over the world myself.

Your Support will Look Like…
I’ll reach out to add you into my private group and weekly education texts so you’ll never have to do this alone.
You’ll also be able to message me directly to ask any questions.
Finally, I send everyone who made a purchase the month before a monthly newsletter and laminated recipe card, so you can start your health journey right away!
What diffuser blends for the new year are you most excited about using in your home?
Before digging in, this is a must-read about quality and safety when choosing oils!
Snuggle Up Diffuser Blend
It’s super chilly out there!
This blend would be amazing in your diffuser curled up with a good book.
Northern Lights Black Spruce is amazing for those winter blues. It’s been known to release emotional blocks and helping you support feelings of balance and grounding.
That makes this a special one to diffuse while you’re walking through difficult times.
Peppermint is fantastic for mental focus and for stimulating our brains, which we can use when the dreary days won’t seem to go away. There’s also a brightness to it that is super uplifting in our home on days like that.
Rosemary is fantastic for mental clarity and focus, too.
This is such a cozy yet clean blend that would be great for those work-from-home days.
My Year! Diffuser Blend
I love the feeling of a brand new year.
It’s a time when all things are possible and lends itself to making joyful plans with what we’ll do with this trip around the sun.
In this blend, you’ll find a bright and joyful set of oils that will boost your health in the new year.
Ylang Ylang is amazing for fighting off anger, boosting self esteem, and filters out that negative energy that can hinder our plans for the new year.
Tangerine is one we use for happiness, calming, and helping with anxious feelings or nervousness.
Cedarwood is one we use for calming and purifying. A great one to use in the new year to knock out any old yucky feelings and usher in joy!
Fresh Start Diffuser Blend
If there’s any time to clean out the house and start fresh it’s January 1st!
This blend will help purify, kick synthetic fragrance, and boost your family’s health.
Lemongrass promotes mental awareness and purifies. It’s got a crisp smell to it, too!
Lime strengthens the immune and respiratory systems. That’s super helpful in the new year since we’re always fighting off one bug or another during germ season.
Purification blend disinfects the air and neutralizes mildew, cigarette smoke, and any funky odors you’ve got going on in the house.
Spearmint is another oil that opens and releases emotional blocks and brings about a feeling of balance and lasting sense of well-being.
If this kinds of emotional support talk from essential oils is new to you, it would be helpful to look up what the oils do in your limbic system.
Each generation tries to gift their kids a better life. Our generation may be the first to get it all wrong.
From birth, our parents made trade school, college, or some form of secondary education was our top priority .
We’ve handled with those gifts in our own ways.
We reaped those rewards (or paid heavily for them).
But to gift our kids the same, is putting them so far out in left field, they may never get a chance to play ball.
However, it may not be for the reason you’re imagining.
Why We’re So Off Base
For decades upon decades, we’ve been told schooling is the only way to get ahead.
However, at closer inspection, take a look at what this generation has that their dial-up parents didn’t.
They’re dripping with information. Lousy with it.
They carry it in their pockets for crying out loud.
Yet we still harp at them that this is it. The one thing that will make or break them.
We have to sound absolutely crazy. They get that education is important. It’s common knowledge to this generation. Common. Knowledge. Nothing to pass along, friend.
They get it.
Meanwhile, cancer rates are soaring, diseases are running rampant, and obesity is a sickness a huge amount of Americans have denied is even a problem.
How in this world do we expect our children to become adults that can use their education if they’re too sick to show up to a job?
What Needs Fixing
The main issues are hard to see. Like…really hard to see.
Why?
Every other commercial on the television is pushing the problems and treating them like gifts.
The main issues we need to resolve for our kids are:
1. Food
You’ve heard the old adage: food is medicine.
That’s no joke.
Prepackaged “healthy” foods are immediately unhealthy.
Pesticide-sprayed fruits and vegetables are flat out proven to have less nutrition than organic and chemical free produce.
Our children drink more sugar in one beverage than they should consume in an entire day.
Yet we’re surprised when we see the charts shouting at us that we’re sicker than ever…
The only way around this is to find chemical-free and organic farms that we can buy from to bring costs down. To budget in organics just like we do a cell phone bill.
If you’re reading this in the Dayton, Ohio area or you’d just like to see some great examples, visit Three Trees Farm or Eat Food For Life. Read their websites and about their practices.
This education is priceless.
2. Lifestyle Products
We were shocked at how many “safe” products were full of synthetics, fragrances, and pesticides.
How can companies get away with this?
We keep buying it!
We’ve got to look into what we put on our body and in our air, friends!
This is dire. And I do mean DIRE.
The average American home is up to five TIMES more toxic than the most populated and industrialized cities!
It’s no wonder the cause of 95% of cancers is toxins.
Every single hour of burning a candle in your home is the same, toxicologists say, as smoking a cigarette.
Imagine putting a cigarette in your baby’s mouth.
What do we expect when detergents and soaps marked cancerous and hormone disrupting are marketed to children?
Somehow we’ve forgotten that medicine is a LAST RESORT.
Somewhere in the last twenty years we decided that popping a pill or dropping acetaminophen in our kids’ mouths every time their temperature goes above 99 degrees is fixing the problem.
Please. We have to stop. Now.
Don’t you see?
If you fix the food and lifestyle products issue and you use Young Living to work home remedies then you WON’T NEED THE MEDICINE!
But instead, we toss aside those little square side effects pamphlets assuming that our docs wouldn’t prescribe them to us if those effects weren’t like…the freak accidents, right?
But what you’re not reading (and what your doctor isn’t telling you) is all the little things that are happening to your body every time you take something you could fix naturally.
All those things you did to your body and passed on to your child that they’ll genetically pass on to theirs.
Remember who makes a LOT of money from every prescription or synthetic medicine labeled “natural” the next time you head into your local drug store.
But I do urge you to make the decision sooner than later, friends.
Where to Start
I’d love to tell you to go out and buy all the white labeled stuff at the store and make yourself a new clean home with a Target cart full of new bottles, but I can’t.
I know because I tried it myself, and it didn’t work. Here’s why.
CLEAN YOUR AIR: get a diffuser (I suggest the Desert Mist)
CLEAN YOUR LAUNDRY: grab the Thieves Laundry Detergent. It dilutes out to 16 bottles and you’ll get the recipe when I add you to our Facebook community.
CLEAN YOUR EVERYTHING ELSE: Thieves Household Cleaner is 29 bottles in one. You can get rid of EVERY. SINGLE. CLEANER. IN. YOUR. HOME. No, this isn’t a joke. Yes, it kills the germs. We’ve done it for 4 years. I’d not beat my head against a wall for four years if it didn’t work like a charm…hello!
SET UP A LOYALTY BOX: this will give you a % back on each monthly box you get. You’ll choose what goes in (think oils for remedies and prevention, personal care/toiletries, makeup, supplements, CBD, etc) and remember, most all dilute out to save you tons. What you can’t dilute, you can use your % back to get for free!
YOU CAN DO THIS!
Set small goals for yourself each month.
What can you swap out at the store for a Young Living product?
What can you buy organic this week instead of conventional?
Living on a budget?
You’ll be shocked by how much moneyis left over for organics when you take out pop/soda, cookies, chips, and prepackaged snacks and stop running to the pharmacy and turn to oils instead.
This will be the most rewarding gift you’ve ever given your family.
When your children are reaping the rewards as adults and teaching their children, your grandbabies, how to create a home the right way, you’ll be so very glad you read this, took action, and never looked back.
The top 4 ways to reduce fever naturally is so simple, I can’t believe we haven’t been doing this all along!
I hope this article encourages and leads you to a more natural option even if you’re not fully convinced just yet to ditch the harmful fever reducers.
*Disclaimer: Because of pesticides and/or synthetics in every other oil brand, I can only in good conscience recommend Young Living, who never sprays, but instead hand weeds and allows you on their farms all over the world to see for yourself. No one else offers this.
1.Peppermint
In your Premium Starter Kit, you’ll find one of the most complete oils: Peppermint.
In four drops of a carrier like this one, we put Peppermint on the bottoms of our feet and along our spine.
We do this every fifteen minutes until our temperature is at a more comfortable level.
The last time I did it, I brought my child’s 104 degree fever to 101 in an hour.
By that time, he could get to sleep comfortably.
The next morning, he was up running and playing!
Because fever is one of the most powerful healing responses of the human body, we don’t want to take it away, but we instead want to protect our brain and help soothe and comfort.
We love the gradual cooling Young Living’s Peppermint provides.
2. Vitality Water
Create your own electrolyte drink without the sugar (immune suppressing), dye, and preservatives.
Young Living’s Vitality Drops have naturally occurring electrolytes from the Great Salt Lake to keep you hydrated.
Not only that, but have you tasted these?
YUM!
**Pro Tip: Glass only.
3. Spine Power!
Lemon and Frankincense, both in the Premium Starter Kit, are two we add to carrier along the spine.
We apply them to the spine because of how many nerves there are along this area of the body and the two carotid arteries and two vertebral arteries found there.
This means better absorption and that the oils are carried better throughout the bloodstream with that kind of artery power behind it pumping from the heart through the body.
Frankincense is a huge support in immune boosting and Lemon is lovely for supporting a detox of all the junk our body is trying to fight.
4. Get to the Root
Oil blends like ImmuPower and nutritionals like Super C Chewables, we are able to work on the root of the problem through a serious support of the body.
Instead of breaking down the gut, where a lot of our immune system is housed, we build up the body with Young Living oils and oil-infused supplements.
Better yet, we’re not destroying our gut health as we work toward bringing our body back up above the line of wellness, so our immune system doesn’t take a huge hit like it does with antibiotics.
Consistency
Be consistent when trying to lower a fever.
Stay hydrated, well rested, and put the oils on often throughout the day.
Follow the directions on your supplements.
Use your oils a lot.
Feel better.
It’s a simple as that.
The more we stray from gut-harming medicines and focus on the building and supporting of our immune system instead, we’ll find issues like fever are much easier to handle.
My husband works closely with China, and while we aren’t panicking about the new virus, we have been thinking about our top 5 light prepper must have items.
Those guys haven’t left their homes in a month.
Would we have what we needed if that were us?
I’m not so sure I’m 100% on board with the full-on prepper thinking, which is why I’ve labeled this light prepping.
Diffuse: Use your diffuser and choose from Lemon, Lavender, Stress Away or Peace & Calming from your Premium Starter Kit. Diffuse 2-3 drops. My favorites are Lavender and Stress away.
Breathe Deep: Put a drop of Trauma Life or Release in your hand. Rub your hands together. Cup over your nose, and breathe deeply.
Roller Bottle: Repurpose an old 15mL oil bottle or get multiple new rollers here. Add 20-30 drops of your favorite stress relieving oil. Then fill the rest with carrier oil like our V-6 oil. Roll on the bottoms of your feet or on the back of your neck.
Nutritionals
ImmuPro: has been specially formulated to provide exceptional immune system support. When it’s combined with a healthy lifestyle and adequate sleep to support the body’s needs (youngliving.com).
SleepEssence: Combines lavender, vetiver, valerian, and Ruta graveolens essential oils with the melatonin (youngliving.com).
Try for sleep around the same time each night. Turn off your WiFi and set your phone to airplane mode to get a better night’s sleep.
Massage Oils
Young Living has 7 different massage oils. I recommend the Relaxation Massage Oil or making a quick DIY with one of the stress-relieving blends mentioned above.
For a quick guide, dilute 1 drop essential oil to 4 drops carrier like the V-6 from Young Living.
Final Thoughts
I encourage you to dig into preventing stress rather than waiting until you’re overwhelmed to grab what you need.
Lemon oil is from the rind. It has a neutral pH and never damages tooth enamel.
Vitality Drops will help replace lost electrolytes and make your water taste amazing!
Young Living is the only company not spraying any of their plants with pesticides, which get into your bloodstream and wreak havoc. Thank you, God for Young Living!
It is said that the liver is where we store anger and hate.
Whether you believe that or not, we can all agree it’s a super important part of our health, and we must take great care of it.
JuvaFlex in a veggie capsule will be so kind to your liver and therefore your overall health!
Gentle Baby
Gentle Baby is great for your skin, calming your emotions, and will be something I use on my “mama marks” for sure when my free bottle arrives in a few days!
That’s just one more quick ditch and switch to a safe product right away!
Know Friends in Need?
When you share with two friends this month, Young Living will give you a $100 thank you check and a 15mL bottle of Dream Catcher.
When you share with four friends, Young Living will give you a $200 thank you check, and you’ll get a lava bead bracelet and special Celebration blend.
Think about it.
You help four new families have four generations of health and wellness and you get a big thank you.
We sip on this in glass only (no one wants to drink petrochemicals from plastic!), and make sure we keep up with this hydration process to help flush all the ickiness out of our system.
Nutritional Supplements
Our biggest successes came when we ditched the drug mindset and adopted a supplement/wellness way of thinking.
What is at the root of this cough and congestion?
Why bandage something without taking care of the cause first?
Put a couple drops in and sit right next to it as you give your body some time to rest.
My favorites for cough are Raven, R.C., Eucalyptus Radiata, and Thieves.
Having a diffuser right next to you as you rest or nap is the best way.
That’s a way to make sure you’re feeling better and staying consistent with your oily routine here, so you can be back to normal in no time.
Final Thoughts
If you’re already living the pesticide-free lifestyle, some of these will be normal for you like taking Thieves Vitality, diffusing, and drinking Lemon Vitality oil in your water.
That’s wonderful!
If not, don’t worry.
It’s something that starts to feel second nature in no time.

I’ll be in touch to place you in our oily education tribe, but feel free to ask any questions first contacting me directly at andrea@graceblossoms.com.
Give yourself grace and rest, friend.
Many blessings to you and quick healing when you’re not feeling well!
I love how empowering this app is for all new oilers!
Just Use Them!
Put them on.
You won’t do it wrong.
I promise.
Diffuse them.
Use three or four drops in the diffuser.
Use them, and then use them some more.
Consistency creates a new habit and a healthy home in this case!
Plan Ahead
Essential Rewards is basically the best things since sliced bread, y’all.
Our family saves SO much more with the Young Living lifestyle compared to shopping in store, it’s unreal.
So, use posts like this, your reference guide, or an iTovi scanner (learn more about them here) to create a list of needs in your home.
Ditch-n-Switch
If you signed up for Young Living because you thought a few natural remedies here and there would be great, guess again!
You get SO MUCH MORE than that!
We ditch the bandaid mentality and switch to a wellness and proactive way of thinking!
Let me just save you lots of time here.
Everything in your house that isn’t Young Living isn’t safe at its core.
How do I know?
Because everyone but Young Living puts one or both of the following in their products: pesticides (they spray their plant material) or synthetics (your body is real and doesn’t handle these well).
Go around the house and create a list of all the products in your home and seek out the Young Living product that will let you get rid of it for good.
This lifestyle should be simpler and lessexpensive.
If you aren’t finding this to be true, talk to your upline about diluting (our products are highly concentrated and like buying in bulk), Essential Rewards, and even a DIY here and there.
This is a hugely rewarding lifestyle that comes with a little learning curve, but one that is simple to navigate if you’ve got a great group to learn alongside!
