All Things Antioxidants

All Things Antioxidants

Antioxidants are truly a powerhouse when it comes to our health! They are essential for many things in the body, including reducing inflammation, responding to injury, promoting immune health, promoting skin health and much more. If you want health and vitality, antioxidants are definitely something to pay attention to!

ANTIOXIDANTS AT A GLANCE

Compounds that help neutralize free radicals in the body, preventing oxidative stress and cellular damage

Help support a healthy immune system, promote skin health, reduce inflammation, and slow the aging process

Work by donating electrons to free radicals, stabilizing them and preventing them from damaging cells and tissues.

Vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, flavonoids, polyphenols, and many essential oils are common antioxidants

Antioxidants are powerful compounds that help protect the body from the damaging effects of free radicals—unstable molecules that can cause oxidative stress, leading to cellular damage and a variety of health issues. By neutralizing free radicals, antioxidants play a crucial role in maintaining health, reducing inflammation, and slowing down the aging process.

WHY ANTIOXIDANTS MATTER FOR YOUR HEALTH

The body is constantly exposed to free radicals—unstable molecules that can damage cells, proteins, and even DNA. This damage contributes to aging, chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease, and conditions such as arthritis and Alzheimer’s. Free radicals are produced by environmental factors like pollution, radiation, and cigarette smoke, but they are also a natural byproduct of normal cellular processes.

By incorporating antioxidants into your diet and lifestyle, you can help protect your cells from this oxidative stress and support overall health. Antioxidants have been shown to improve skin health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and help slow the signs of aging. Whether through food, supplements, or essential oils, adding antioxidants to your routine can be a simple yet powerful way to improve your wellness.

NingXia Red’s high antioxidant content not only supports a healthy immune system, but it also promotes increased energy, improved digestion, and radiant skin.

ESSENTIAL OILS

When you have a cough or cold or feel one coming on, you just want to be comfortable – especially if you still have to work, travel, or take care of your children or loved ones! (click on the individual oil pictures to learn more about the oil)

Thieves Essential Oil Blend:

This blend is our go-to for all things immune system related! It's the blend infused into the chest rub and cough drops we just talked about – and for good reason! We love to apply and diffuse this blend, add Thieves Vitality to a mug of echinacea tea, or add it to epsom salts for an immune supporting detox bath!

Frankincense Essential Oil:

Frankincense is an immune and respiratory powerhouse! This historical oil has been used for centuries for health. Apply it with Thieves, Lemon, R.C. or Purification to the chest and back, add a few drops to the Thieves Chest Rub when you apply, add Frankincense to epsom salts for a detox bath, and diffuse this oil when you're feeling down. Get it in, on and around you as much as possible!

Lemon Essential Oil:

Lemon is a wonderful oil for soothing cough and creating comfort in times of congestion. Diffuse it, apply it with Frankincense and Thieves Chest Rub, add a few drops of Lemon Vitality to echinacea tea, and add Lemon to detox baths. Lemon is high in limonene, a constituent highly regarded for its immune system support.

R.C. Essential Oil Blend:

Standing for Respiratory Comfort, R.C. essential oil blend is a gentle eucalyptus blend that we love for soothing and comforting the respiratory system. Diffuse, apply, and add this oil to detox baths as much as possible. This is a great choice for little ones too!

Purification Essential Oil Blends:

This purifying blend is another favorite for immune and respiratory needs. Containing Tea Tree, Lemongrass, Myrtle and other purifying oils, it makes a great addition to your comfort routine during times of cough or cold. Diffuse, apply, and add to bath salts.

Raindrop Technique Collection: This curated set of essential oils is a powerful tool for promoting health, wellness and vitality – both proactively and for acute needs since the oils included can be incredible tools for healing! This collection features nine essential oils with immune and respiratory support properties. We love them for making rollers and adding to detox baths!

Thieves chest rub & cough

THIEVES CHEST RUB

A must-have for every medicine cabinet, Thieves Chest Rub is a 100% plant-based alternative for over-the-counter cough and congestion relief. This natural chest rub soothes sniffles, coughs, and congestion for the whole family with a powerful blend of essential oils and natural, plant-based ingredients.Plus the easy-to-use bottle doesn't even require you to get your hands messy!! The formula is free of petroleum, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, synthetic perfumes or dyes, artificial colors, or preservatives and still packs an incredible punch when it comes to cough and cold! Pure ingredients and all the power of Thieves kicking that chest congestion to the curb? We will take some of that!

Sadly, conventional chest rubs are filled with synthetic additives and diluents, and even the ‘natural' options are less than ideal. Many options use petroleum as a base. Petroleum (petrolatum) is often not fully refined in the US, which means it can be contaminated with toxic chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.Many ‘natural' chest rubs also contain impure essential oils or other lower-grade components that don't meet the same standards as the ingredients found in Young Living products. The active ingredient in the most popular over the counter chest rub is actually a synthetic version of Ravintsara essential oil! And we are always going to choose the original over a synthetic copy, especially when it comes to our health and our family's health!

THIEVES COUGH DROPS

Get natural, quick, and safe cough, congestion, and sore throat relief Thieves Essential Oil-Infused Cough Drops! These are a staple in our cough and cold toolbox. They are easy to keep at home or take on the go, made with naturally derived ingredients, taste great, and work wonders!

Thieves Essential Oil-Infused Cough Drops are minty, spicy, and sweet without processed sugar, dyes, artificial flavors, or preservatives found in conventional cough drops. Infused with Cinnamon Bark, Peppermint, and Lemon essential oils, these menthol-based drops make soothing coughs and colds simple and tasty.

THIEVES HARD LOZENGES

Infused with Young Living's signature Thieves essential oil blend of Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Lemon essential oils, these lozenges are one of the things we reach for to keep our immune systems firing on a daily basis! The Thieves Hard Lozenges are a sugar-free dietary supplement to add to your daily wellness regimen with more of a cinnamon taste than a menthol one.We use these daily when we need a lozenge, when we travel to bolster our immune systems, and sometimes in place of the Thieves Cough Drops when we are out or if someone doesn't want the strong menthol taste of the drops (but it's that menthol that helps open the airways and soothe the throat!).
