Lemongrass - Essential Oil Spotlight


Lemongrass is a very popular herb that can be found growing natively in Asia, Africa, and Australia. It has been used for cooking and medicinal purposes for hundreds of years.


This is one of my favorite essential oils! It is has a sweet lemon smell and has so many uses. The main way I use it is in my diffuser. I usually combine it with peppermint or spearmint for a bright fresh scent. It is very uplifting, the scent actually makes me happy!

It is a great addition to the laundry routine on your wool dryer balls. Or use to make a room mist. Click here to see my purification spray recipe. You can use any of your favorite oils to make your own room spray.



Lemongrass Vitality can be added to your tea or water. A little drop goes a long way in recipes.

I have used Lemongrass with a carrier oil for underarm deodorant with great success. It can sting a bit on sensitive areas so try with a carrier oil first! 

Use it with a carrier oil after a workout on tired muscles. It is in many of my blends for skin and hair care because of its purifying properties (and it smells great). Many insects do not like it. So wearing it may help keep those pests at bay!

If you are a wholesale member a 15 ml bottle is under $12!

Raindrop Roller

Most of us who have been with Young Living know the amazing benefits of the Raindrop Technique for overall wellness and immune system support.  There is great training available to learn the technique and many videos too.  But in a pinch, this roller is a great item to have in your oily toolkit to keep your family above the wellness line.  Since we have one child with a rare disease who cannot have over the counter meds, this is our only defense. When anyone starts to dip down into illness. This roller comes out. We roll it down our spine and on the bottoms of our feet. I repeat at least 3 times a day. Usually, it only takes a day or two to be back into wellness!

Thyroid Support & Young Living

Image
I did a post for my private Facebook group recently on Thyroid support. That little thyroid sure does affect every part of our bodies! I personally have Hashimoto Thyroiditis. I was diagnosed over 10 years ago. It is hereditary for me and we have many generations with hypothyroidism on my mother's side of the family.  There are many supplements that support the thyroid, but I am going to highlight my personal top 4. 1)Endoflex - supports the entire endocrine system. Apply over the thyroid, adrenal glands, kidneys, liver, vitaflex on feet, can be ingested and diffused. I apply to my thyroid and adrenals (kidney area on my back) morning and night.  2)Sulfurzyme - this is a capsule, I take 1-2 in the morning and night. This supports the entire body, helps the immune system, and joints (includi ng my back!)  3)Thyromin - Another capsule, I take two at night. Developed by Gary Young who no longer has a thyroid. This does not force thyroid to certain levels, it supports

Purification spray to keep the odors away!

I made Purification spray today! It is just the right thing for sneakers, teen boy rooms, refreshing throw pillows, stale rooms and so much more! Here is how to make your own. Put 1 tsp baking soda in your bottle then fill nearly full with hot water from the tap. Put on the top and shake to dissolve the baking soda. Open back up and put in 10-20 drops of purification and shake again. My bottle was 4 oz so 15 drops was just right. I have made other room sprays with this same technique and different oils. Here is where I got my great bottles! Blue Spray Bottle
