Deep breathing is a simple way to manage stress. (You always have it with you...) Add Young Living essential oils and take level-up your intervention!
The olfactory nerve connects directly to the center of the brain, specifically the limbic system which is the center for primal emotion. Essential oil molecules can penetrate along the nerve pathway and intervene in the stress response.
Deep breathing itself helps de-activate the sympathetic nervous system (fight of flight response) and helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest response). Also, the physical act of deep breathing with diaphragm massages the adrenal glands.
One of my favorite Young Living essential oil blends to use is Believe. It is a blend of evergreen or conifer essential oils, ylang ylang, plus citrus. (It's lovely and grounding.)
What's your favorite Young Living essential oil or blend to intervene in your day?

Focus on the 4-Essentials for Life with our Wellness Renewal.
--> First is AIR - Respiratory System (BTW, Believe would be a great complement to this program!)
Got smells? Teenage boys, dogs, chickens (even outdoors)... these are some of the smelly challenges our home has. We all want our homes to smell good. Let's accomplish that naturally -- in a way that actually supports health, rather than adding harsh chemicals into the air.
For our Wellness Renewal, we start by getting rid of artificial fragrances.
Get a trash bag and literally throw them away... all the scented candles, air sprays, bathroom scents, plug-ins, sprays for fabrics, etc. If you don't believe me, yet, put them in a box and stick them in your garage for 30 days.
Then, get a diffuser and Young Living essential oils (that come with the Seed to Seal quality guarantee).

Ready for a Wellness Renewal? Support your Respiratory System?
Focus on the essentials -
the 4 Essentials for Life: Food, Water, Air, and Love.
Dr. Peter Minke shares that if something is essential for life, then it is powerful for healing. We tend to spend a lot of time on food. However, we can live weeks without food, days without water, but only minutes without air. As powerful as food is for our healing, water is more powerful, and air is even more powerful. (And the greatest of these is love....)
To start our Wellness Renewal, we start with AIR... and add LOVE along the way.
Dr. Minke has provided videos to help you get in touch with your Respiratory System:
1) learn the anatomy and how it functions,
2) utilize breath to become more self-aware,
3) find out how specific nutrients and supplements support the basic functions, and
4) be trained in do-able massage and movement techniques to facilitate optimal function and increase comfort levels.
These videos are FREE. You can sign up to receive weekly emails with links.
These are greatly enhanced by adding in Young Living essential oils and supplements. You can choose what fits your needs, as well as time and money budget.
Action Steps for the month:
- Stop the Poison - Get rid of artificial fragrance in your living space (FREE)! Replace with natural, premium essential oils from Young Living. Get your diffuser out!
- Diffuse daily with Young Living essential oils and blends; try oils that are typically known for helping breathe easy.
- Focus on your breath for at least one short period of the day. Increasing your breath volume and oxygenation by even a little bit can have profound benefits! (FREE)
- Massage your ribcage to optimize your breath volume. This takes about 5-10 minutes and can be done daily or weekly. (FREE or add a massage oil)
- Take supplements to support and get in touch with your respiratory system.
- Apply Young Living essential oils topically to your chest and back to feel your Respiratory System.
- Build self-awareness skills, especially targeting your Respiratory System. (FREE)
- Speak powerful positive affirmations about your breath and body! (FREE)
Minimum
If you don't yet have a diffuser and Young Living essential oils, that's the place to start. Replace your artificial fragrance (candles, sprays, plug-ins, etc.).
You can use the essential oils and blends in the Premium Starter Kit for other parts of the Wellness Renewal -- making a massage oil, rubbing on topically to feel your Respiratory System, and even supplements to support the Respiratory System.
If you already have your diffuser and some oils to play with, you can choose to branch out and try some new oils.
If your budget allows, I would get Sulfurzyme, as well. Focusing on breathing and breath volume can get things moving in the body... Sulfurzyme provides basic nutrition to support the cleansing process. (Here's a video to explain.)
Basic
The Minimum plus I would highly recommend investing in the "Calm it Down Trio" of Sulfurzyme, Super C, Allerzyme. I find this trio helpful to manage cleansing reactions.
Complete

Today's focus is on NingXia Red - a superfood, nutrient infusion (AKA awesome tasting drink that's also nutritious)! NingXia red is high in both water soluble antioxidants (ex. wolfberry, blueberry, pomegranate) AND fat soluble antiodants (premium essential oils of lemon and other citrus fruits).
Young Living has conducted scientific research, including clinical trials, that was presented at Convention in summer of 2022. Some findings: 1) increased energy, 2) reduce physical limitations, 3) improve sleep patterns, and 4) reduce daily stress!
Watch this video for an overview!
I envision oxidative stress in my body like rust or tarnished silver or even an old, gummy, stiff rubber band. We had a random, tarnished silver spoon that got into daily use in our family and was put through the dishwasher often. At the time, we used the Thieves Dish Soap in our dishwasher (it didn't take much), and we noticed the spoon getting more and more shiny, without being polished. That's the power of antioxidants!
So, I imagine when I use my essentail oils and drink my NingXia Red that I'm getting shiny on the inside!
Here's an interesting video on NingXia Red's Seed to Seal story:

The Holiday Season can also be known as the Sugar Season... and once that sugar roller coaster has started, it can be hard to get off. The cravings -- for sugar or just calories -- can be intense. These two supplements - Slique Tea and Slique CitraSlim - can help!
Slique Tea is my go-to daily pick-me-up! I take a sip... and my brain feels happy! (It was actually designed that way... with cacao and vanilla -- two substances that help happy chemicals in the brain!) It has gentle caffeine with Oolong Tea -- from an award winning tea farm in Taiwan! (Did you know that there were awards for tea??) I find it satisfying and that it decreases my cravings.

- inulin,
- ocotea leaf (Ocotea quixos),
- Ecuadorian cacao powder,
- Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) fruit extract,
- frankincense powder (Boswellia sacra), and
- natural stevia extract.
For weight management, it's recommended to drink a cup of Slque Tea about 30 minutes before a meal (biggest meal of the day) to help feel satiated before the meal (and therefore eat less). I will often drink a cup at the beginning of the day.
I love this supplement! The first time I took it each day for a month and I noticed several things: 1) decreased cravings, 2) less hunger pangs, 3) less soreness (this one was unexpected!). It felt like my lymphatic system was cleaner, in addition to the digestive support!
