Young Living Products Worth Trying

My first experience with Young Living essential oils was back in 2017. My little sister had just gotten a starter kit and I brought my boyfriend, Kevin (who is now my husband), home from college for the weekend. My family had a cat at the time and Kevin was very allergic. My sister was like… “hey idk if this will work but I think lavender, lemon, and RC rubbed on the chest helps with breathing”. He gave it a try and we were all like “what is this magic?!” I kept seeing other ways to use essential oils on Pinterest and I ended up buying my own starter kit! In this post I am sharing all of my favorite Young Living products that are worth trying.

When I first got my oils I tried different blends in the diffuser and I noticed that it helped me sleep better and it made my house smell good, but I had no idea how to use the oils in other ways. I dove into watching videos, reading books (I recommend this one) and following essential oil instagram accounts to figure out how to safely use them. It sounds dramatic, but these products have seriously changed my life and really introduced me to the world of wellness. Now I use several Young Living products every single day and I’m listing my favorites in this post. I plan to keep it updated as I try more things!

Why Young Living?

You might be wondering why I choose to shop at Young Living when there are so many options for essential oils and non-toxic products these days. From what I’ve learned over the years since beginning to dig into healthier products and foods, marketing can be very tricky. There are several loopholes that allow companies to label items as natural when they actually have additives, fillers, and secret ingredients. Young Living has been in business for over 25 years and were focused on creating natural products before it was trendy. They are extremely transparent in all of their sourcing and even allow visitors to their farms where they show the entire process of distilling their essential oils. Besides their high quality standards, their products actually work! So many people tell me that essential oils never worked for them until they tried them from Young Living!

Essential Oils

Now, let’s get into my favorite oils and how I use them!

Believe – this is my favorite blend to diffuse! It’s a blend of many high end oils including frankincense, ylang ylang, idaho blue spruce, and geranium.
Bergamot – this citrus oil elevates any diffuser blend! It’s also key to my apple pie blend (recipe below)
Christmas spirit – a sweet, spicy blend of orange, cinnamon, and spruce. I diffuse this every single day in December but it’s so good all year long.
DiGize – a life saver for any tummy troubles. Just rub it on your stomach and feel instant relief. This one turns everyone into an oil believer! (my dad even swears by this one and he is not an EO kind of guy – haha!)
Frankincense – this one helped even out my blotchy red skin tone! Rub it directly on your skin or add it to glow serum (recipe below)
Geranium – my favorite floral oil! Diffuse it, add it to your skincare, and put it on your laundry dryer balls.
Grapefruit – I’m just obsessed with all citrus oils! I always add them to my diffuser blends but you can also use them to flavor your water.
Lavender – this + cedarwood at bedtime is amazing sleep support. Cedarwood helps the body naturally release melatonin! Add a drop of lavender to a fresh mascara tube to help with eye lash growth.
Lemon – mix this with baking soda to scrub your sink, stove top, etc. It’s also amazing at removing those annoying price tag stickers!
Northern Lights Black Spruce (NLBS) and/ or Idaho Blue Spruce (IBS) – must haves for anthropologie diffuser blends
Orange – another favorite to add to diffuser blends- it always helps me feel positive and energized!
Peace & Calming – such a good oil to diffuse at bedtime. I also rub it on my dogs ears and it calms them down so much!
Peppermint – rub it on your temples when you have a headache (be careful not to get close to your eyes!), rub it on the inside of your wrist to help you cool down when it’s hot, smell it to help reduce nausea, and add a drop to a glass of water to reduce bloating.
Raven – a blend of different types of eucalyptus oil. This is amazing for respiratory support. Diffuse it, rub it on your chest if you feel congested, and put a few drops in the shower to make it feel like a spa!
Stress away – this smells like vanilla / lime. I love to diffuse it and I have the roller for perfume.
Thieves – a MUST HAVE for immune support. Diffuse it, rub it on the bottoms of the feet, and apply it down the spine.
Valor – this oil saved me during a time in my life when I had extreme anxiety. It sounds weird but it feels like a hug when you put it on and it just smells SO good! It comes in a roller too! I tend to carry a lot of tension in my jaw, especially at night, so I’ll roll this right on my jawline and it helps relax those muscles so much!
White Angelica – the prettiest smelling oil that is perfect for perfume and helps keep negative energy away. I love to rub it on my shoulders and diffuse it with orange.

Plant based cleaning

Shortly after I started using essential oils, I learned that the air inside of our homes is extremely polluted from all of the toxic cleaning products! I was seriously horrified thinking about walking around my house barefoot and all of the chemicals that were getting into my body. Plus, I have two dogs that are always laying on the floors and eating anything that falls on the ground. I wasn’t sure how well natural cleaning products would work but I’ve been pleasantly surprised that I don’t miss my old cleaners at all! Now that I’m used to natural products, I can’t even walk by the cleaning aisle at Target without coughing or getting an instant headache. It’s insane how that never bothered me before detoxing our home of chemicals!

Thieves household cleaner – if you’re looking for any easy way to ditch your toxic cleaning products, this is it! This single bottle of concentrate will make 30 spray bottles (all you need is one capful in 16 ounces of water). I even add it to my swiffer mop and carpet cleaning machine. So many of my customers shop Young Living primarily for this product. Someone even told me that they spilled an entire bowl of chili on their carpet and this got the stain out!
Thieves laundry soap – This was one of the first cleaning products that I switched because I learned that many chemicals found in laundry detergent are related to skin issues, respiratory problems, and decreased fertility. I had to get used to this leaving no scent on my clothes – the soap actually rinses out rather than just coating them in artificial fragrance. I buy one bottle of laundry soap and separate it into 2 of these bottles, add 2 caps of household cleaner, and fill with water. I use a few pumps per load and it lasts for so long!
Thieves fruit & veggie soak – This might just be one of my favorite thieves products! This will keep your produce fresh for much longer! I’m always amazed by how much dirt comes off and how bright my fruits and veggies look!
Thieves dish soap – This is super thick so a very small amount goes a long way
Thieves hand soap – I also like the lushious lemon and winter nights scents
Thieves hand sanitizer – smells so good and doesn’t dry out your hands at all!

Skincare

Mint Satin Facial Scrub – the best gentle exfoliator that wakes you up with the smell of peppermint!
Charcoal Mask – OBSESSED with this! As it dries you can see it soaking into every single pore on your face. It smells like orange and leaves your skin so soft!
Mirah cleaning oil – I rub 1-2 pumps of this over my face to remove my makeup. It seriously melts the makeup right off and it makes it so easy to wash your face at night. It also helps to moisturize your skin! I love this stuff.

Glow Serum DIY

In a 4 oz glass dropper bottle, add jojoba oil and 10-20 drops of any or all of the following oils:

lavender

frankincense

copaiba

tea tree

geranium

patchouli

apply to clean skin morning and night

Personal Care

Thieves whitening toothpaste – the only toothpaste that doesn’t give me a dry mouth or chapped lips
Thieves mouthwash – very strong! Mix with water or just use a tiny amount.
Poppyseed lip scrub – this sugar scrub exfoliator is a must have for dry chapped, lips!
Lip balm trio – flavors are cinnamon, lavender, and grapefruit. I always add these on to my monthly orders because this is the only chapstick I use and I have them all over my house.
Lavender lotion – love this before bed. It’s a thinner consistency.
Genesis lotion – this one is a little thicker consistency and is my favorite scent! It has geranium, palmarosa, and bergamot essential oils in it.
Sensation massage oil– smells so good!
Stress away bath bombs – love love love these!
CBD – The cool mint is the best flavor in my opinion! The essential oils in this make it taste really good and also help increase the health benefits of regular CBD.
CBD muscle rub – this stuff is worth every penny and will blow your mind with how well it works. My entire family is obsessed with this!

Supplements

What makes Young Living supplements unique is that they are infused with essential oils that help with absorption of the vitamins and also provide additional health benefits. Young Living also never adds any shady fillers or ingredients to any of their products!

Ningxia Red – If you try one supplement from Young Living it should be this! This antioxidant superfood drink tastes like berries and helps with immune support, energy levels, and so much more! All you need is 2 ounces a day and you can either drink it straight, mix it with water, freeze it like a popsicle, or add it to a smoothie. If you don’t notice an improvement immediately, you will definitely notice a difference when you run out! I recommend using it consistently for a month and evaluate your change in energy, mood, skin, and how you feel overall!
Sulferzyme – This is what I take for hair, skin, and nails. It makes your hair grow like crazy!! I use it in place of a collagen supplement. I’ve only tried the pills so far but I just ordered the powder because it also has a prebiotic. I plan on mixing it with NingXia red and sparkling water.
Progessence plus – a natural form of progesterone that helps balance hormones. I apply it to the inside of my forearms each night and I notice that it helps keep my cycle regular, regulate my mood/ anxiety, and keep my skin clear.
OmegaGize – this helps with brain, heart, eye, and joint health. Honestly, I started taking this supplement because I heard that an omega-3 DHA helps keep skin looking youthful and plump. I just finished a bottle that lasted me 2 months and immediately ordered another!
Super C tablets – this supplement supports immune, respiratory, and circulatory function. I just ordered the chewable tablets because the pills are pretty large and difficult for me to swallow.
Super Vitamin D – vitamin D helps support respiratory health, bone growth and muscles. The essential oils in this supplement also support mood and hormone regular. This supplement dissolves in your mouth and tastes like an orange mint!
Super B tablets – this supplement contains all 8 B vitamins. I notice major improved energy when I take this! Caffeine has started to make me feel really anxious so this combined with NingXia red has been a life saver!
Inner Defense – I keep this in stock anytime I start to feel “under the weather” and I’m always amazed how quickly I start to feel better.
