Read on for more about why we love this oil and ways to use it daily...

Orange essential oil is rich in limonene, making it supportive of the immune and circulatory systems as well as good for our bodies overall. Citrus oils are also known for stimulating creativity, so this is a great oil to diffuse while working, during homework or during arts and crafts.

Start your day with a burst of liquid sunshine by diffusing Orange in the morning. Orange is delightful on its own, or you can combine it with complementary oils such as Grapefruit, Cinnamon, Neroli, and Patchouli. Orange Vitality essential oil has a sweet, citrusy flavor and provides digestive and immune support when taken internally.

BACKGROUND & SOURCING

Originally native to Asia, orange trees are now cultivated around the world, including in France, Germany, and the United States. An evergreen plant, mature orange trees can reach a height of 30 feet. Known as liquid sunshine, Orange essential oil has a sweet and uplifting aroma that brightens any room and cleanses the air when diffused.

KEY CONSTITUENTS

*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

Limonene: known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits

Myrcene: boasts emotional soothing properties as well as immune bolstering properties.

ORANGE & EMOTIONS

Orange essential oil is an instant mood booster! This bright, happy oil is great for promoting an aroma of joy and creativity. Diffuse, apply, or add it to your favorite emotional support oils in a roller.

Citrus oils in general are wonderful for emotional support. Citrus oils contain Limonene, a potent free radical scavenger. When there is less physical oxidative stress in the body, then there are less negative emotions. Citrus oils also contain compounds that boost your mood by increasing calming neurotransmitters in the brain.

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!).

Small Steps for a Cozy, Balanced Winter: Sleep and frequencies

Embrace the Winter Calm: Cozy Nesting for Balance and Warmth

As daylight fades and temperatures drop, nature invites us to slow down and find peace in winter's embrace. Join us on December 10 for a soothing evening at our Wellness Zoom Gathering, "Cozy Nesting for Balance and Warmth." Discover how gentle shifts in your environment, sound, sleep, and daily rhythm can restore harmony for both you and your furry companions.

The Power of Seasonal Shifts

Seasons shape our inner balance, with winter offering a time for restoration. By aligning with this cycle, we can calm hormones, smooth emotions, and restore energy. Embrace gentler rhythms: warm soups, slower mornings, calm evenings, and shared stillness with your pet.

The Human–Animal Bond: A Mirror of Calm

Our animal companions sense our energy deeply. As your breath calms, so does your pet’s. Together, share tranquil moments, stroll outdoors, and synchronize your rhythms, fostering trust and shared healing.

Creating a Haven of Warmth

"Cozy nesting" crafts a sanctuary for your senses, filled with warm lighting, soothing sounds, grounding scents like cedar or frankincense, and comforting touches. An environment rich in warmth mirrors peace back to you.

Restorative Sleep: The Foundation of Healing

Winter invites deep restorative sleep, crucial for emotional balance and clarity. Create a nightly routine with dim lights, calming activities, and comforting sounds to ease into rest.

Wishing the Sound: Restorative Frequencies for Wholeness

Explore how sound—like a purring cat or 432 Hz music—harmonizes body, mind, and spirit. These vibrations nurture healing and balance for both you and your pet.

Nourishment that Grounds You

Enjoy warm, comforting foods like root vegetable soups that stabilize and nurture. Make meals mindful and shared, soothing your soul and your pet's.

Join us on December 10 6 pm Pacific to reconnect with nature’s rhythm and rediscover peace within and around you.
