Continuing with my young living essential oil journey. This week I am introducing you to my absolute favorite oil. Thieves. The smell of Thieves is amazing and I love diffusing it. Not only because it smells good, but because it is also excellent for helping prevent sickness. So, having little kids in the house, I diffuse thieves at least once a day to try and keep the germs away. I also have put it on the bottom of the boy’s feet when they are coughing and it has worked like a charm to clear the cough up completely or not make it as severe. I also try to remember to put it on Jay daily since he is in school and I don’t want him getting sick.

A few other things Thieves can be used for:

Coughing
Fever
Nausea
Hand foot and mouth disease
Ear Infections
Respiratory infections
Ringworm
and more!

Thieves is seriously just amazing to have on hand at all times, it’s one I NEVER want to run out of.

A couple of weeks ago I started my young living essential oil series. You can see six of my favorite oils here and you can see the oil I shared on December 3rd, which was Joy. Today, I’m going to share another absolute favorite! Peppermint. I seriously love the heck out of peppermint oil. I mainly use peppermint for headaches. I apply one drop to each side of my temple and one drop on the back of my neck, it works wonders! I’ve also stared using it on Kade for his reflux and he’s not doing it as much now, yay! I dilute it alot with olive oil and put one drop peppermint oil in a bowl with olive oil, mix it up, then i apply one drop to the bottom of each of his feet.

A few other things it can be used for:

Headaches
Itching
Breech babies
Lactation decrease
Constipation
Energy increase
Nausea

Peppermint is seriously my best friend. I get headaches pretty often so I make sure to carry peppermint with me wherever I go. I highly recommend peppermint oil and I think you will love it if you get it. It’s truly helped me and I’m making sure I never run out of it!

Last week, I shared my six favorite oils and I mentioned that I would be doing an oils series to share what I use each oil for and share a few other ways they can be used! This week starts that series and up first is Joy! I personally use Joy to help with my anxiety and to lift my mood up. I try not to skip putting it on first thing in the morning, but I can tell when I don’t because my anxiety is high and my mood isn’t exactly the best. With everything going on in life lately, my mood can shift and I become upset easily so using Joy has been really helpful for me.

A few other things it can be used for:

Bonding with your baby after birth.
Postpartum depression.
Massages.
Period cramps.
Uplifting the mood.
Blood pressure.
Mood swings.
and so much more!

Joy really is a great oil to have around when you need a mood boost or if you suffer with anxiety or depression because it helps to calm you down and lift your mood. Before I started using the oils, I was really stubborn and refused to take medicine for my anxiety. I decided to just deal with it and there were days that it was unbearable. There were days I was on my knees, on the floor, crying and begging God to make the anxiety stop, to make the anxiety attack go away. Sometimes it did and sometimes it didn’t, sometimes I had to calm myself down which took quite sometime. I hate having anxiety and I hate the attacks that come with it when it’s really bad, but I can honestly say when I have Joy on, my anxiety isn’t that bad, and when I feel it rising, I apply more to my wrists and inhale it. Joy is now something I refuse to run out of!

Do you suffer from Anxiety? Do you currently take anything or do anything that helps it?

If you follow me on social media, you have seen my talking about my recent love for young living essential oils. I love them so much, that I decided to become a distributor. I love talking about the YL {young living} oils and sharing the different ways they work. I’m one of those people who doesn’t believe in running to the doctors every time myself or my kids are sick, instead I try to treat it at home. These oils help me do that so much. I remember when Kage was sick last week; I’m taking watery eyes, horrible cough, slightly feverish, and I put Thieves on the bottom of his feet, I was blown away when he woke up the next day and all he had was a small cough. I was completely and 100% sold by that alone. I was also sold on YL oils when I was pregnant and had RSL {restless leg syndrome} and I used peace and calming on the bottom of my feet and I had my first night of peaceful sleep in awhile! I could go on and on, but I’ll get to that stuff in this series.

Today I’m going to share six young living essential oils that I love. Then, starting next week, I’ll be sharing each oil I’m using, what I’m using it for, how I use it, and other ways it can be used! I am so excited to share about YL oils! If you want to follow our essential oils journey, you can do so on my newest IG account here.
 

Joy and Valor are two of my favorite oils. I have major anxiety and I’m pretty sure I’ve talked about it on here before. Well, using Joy and Valor together has really helped calm my anxiety down and lift my mood up! {I’ll be sharing next week where it’s applied and how much to use!}

Peace & Calming is another favorite! I love putting it on mine & the boys feet to help relax us and sleep better at night. I also like diffusing it in my room 20 minutes before bedtime.

Thieves is one of my all time favorites so far. I love diffusing Thieves, it makes my house smell SO good. I also use it on the bottom of my boys feet to prevent sickness.

I love using Lavender on my back to help with my back pain. I use it with a couple of different oils for my back that I will be introducing in my YL oil series.

I’ve been using peppermint for headaches and it works SO well!

Do you use young living essential oils? If so, what is your favorite?!
