6 Fall Health Essentials

6 Fall Health Essentials

Adding these 6 fall health essentials will change your life.

We keep these in our home because they work.

Really well.

You can get them here (don’t forget to read here about Subscribe and Save first).

Keep reading below for recipes and easy ways to use each.

6 Fall Health Essentials

Tangerine

Tangerine’s high limonene content makes it a great immune support.

It helps keep an uplifted mood, which is nice as the days become shorter.

Ways to use it:

  • Diffuse (6 drops Tangerine, 4 drops Lemon, 1 drop Vanilla essential oils)
  • Put in capsule and take 3 times/day
  • Add it to your water
  • Create a sleep support roller (20 drops Patchouli, 15 drops Tangerine, and 10 drops Ylang Ylang)
  • Support a healthy weight with a drop of each oil in a capsule: Black Pepper, Citrus Fresh, Cinnamon Bark, EndoFlex, Lemon, Lime, Nutmeg, Orange, Peppermint, Spearmint, and Tangerine)
  • Create a manly mix for your diffuser (2 drops Tangerine, 1 drop Cinnamon Bark, and 1 drop Vetiver)
6 Fall Health Essentials

AminoWise

This is a great workout booster because it supports our muscles so well.

Our family uses it both for this as well as for when we’re under the weather.

It helps restore minerals lost when sick, so we add it to water and lemon as we fight anything icky.

I also love this for when I feel a headache coming on!

6 Fall Health Essentials

NingXia Red

I could go on and on about my favorite supplement, NingXia Red.

If you’d like to read more, read this article: NingXia Red: Antiaging Superfruit.

6 Fall Health Essentials

Clove

According to Life Science Publishing, Clove was, “reputed to be part of the Marseilles Vinegar AKA Four Thieves Vinegar that bandits who robbed the dead and dying used to protect themselves during the 15th century plague.”

How to Use Clove Essential Oil:

  • Keep bees at bay: 20 drops Clove, 10 drops Tea Tree, and 10 drops Citronella in a 15mL roller bottle + carrier of choice
  • Layer with the following oils (one drop each) when detoxing: Lemongrass, Helichrysum, Clove, and Patchouli. Rub in this order for 30 seconds each on the bottom of your feet and over the liver and kidney areas. Add 4 drops carrier oil.
  • Diffuse this “Pumpkin Pie” recipe: 3 drops Orange, 2 drops Cinnamon Bark, 2 drops Clove, 2 drops Nutmeg, and 1 drop Ginger
  • Support your respiratory system with this roller bottle: 20 drops Frankincense, 10 drops Ravinstara, 8 drops Clove, 6 drops Myrrh, and 3 drops Sage in a 15mL bottle with your choice carrier.
6 Fall Health Essentials

NingXia Nitro

Love me some NingXia Nitro!

Here’s what one little shot of it will do (Lifescience Publishing):

  • increase cognitive alertness
  • enhance mental fitness
  • promote energy
  • support overall performance
  • speeds up physical recovery
  • increases overall energy reserves
  • avoids typical caffeine crash
6 Fall Health Essentials

ImmuPower

According to Life Science Publishing, this oil blend, “Strengthens immunity and DNA repair in the cells.”

How to Use this powerful blend:

  • 1 drop oil with 4 drops carrier applied around navel, chest, temples, wrists and on bottoms of feet.
  • Use with Raindrop Technique

This has a pretty strong smell, so if you’re using it in your prevention routine, I’d suggest bottoms of feet.

6 Fall Health Essentials

Your Wellness Routine

Do you think about wellness or illness?

Are you waiting to get sick and then take care of yourself?

Are eating well and exercising the only ways you prevent illness and promote wellness?

Have you created a wellness routine?

Practice Makes Healthy Homes

Make adding new wellness practices simple.

Add something new each month and pair it with what you’re already used to doing each day.

For example, I always get dressed for the day.

It makes sense that my wellness roller goes in my closet where I’ll remember to apply to my feet.

I have breakfast each morning.

Near the kitchen sink, I keep my morning wellness oils and vegetable capsules.

I open the curtains around the house each morning.

I take water infused with the oils of the day around with me, so I can fill my 12 hour diffuser as I open the house.

See?

Easier when you think about keeping it simple, isn’t it?

Have a happy and healthy fall!

32 Seriously Impressive Uses for Basil!

If Basil essential oil isn’t in your life yet, it’s invaluable! Get cha some!

For less than a penny a serving, it’s a staple in the Marshall home.

*Note: When figuring how much you’re getting for the price, divide the cost by 300 for 15mL and 100 for 5mL.*

Do you know how to get the most from your Basil essential oil? These 32 seriously impressive uses are practical and so helpful!

What Clinical Studies Have Shown

When distilling the Basil leaf, it has been shown to have anti-cancer properties. Just to be clear, I’m not aiming to heal, treat, or cure a dang thing. I’m just sharing what the ole scientists have reported. K? K. 😉

They have also found that it demonstrated strong bactericidal action against microorganisms.

Basil strengthens circulatory, muscular, skeletal, immune, and respiratory systems. YAY for that goodness!

Who Can Use It?

  • Epileptics should not use Basil.
  • Those with high blood pressure should talk to their doc first before using it.
  • Don’t use if you’re pregnant.
  • No internal use for children under 6.

How to Dilute It

Dilute 1 drop Basil to 4 drops V-6 or other carrier before applying to skin or taking internally.

You can ingest the Young Living oil because it’s pesticide free, synthetic free, and fragrance free!

No harmful junk.

Can you find any other oil brand to say this?

I searched for 9 long months and could only find YL!

Do you know how to get the most from your Basil essential oil? These 32 seriously impressive uses are practical and so helpful!

Not a New Remedy

According to Life Science Publishing, Basil goes waaaay back.

“Used extensively in traditional Asian Indian medicine, Basil’s name is derived from “basileum,” the Greek name for king. In the 16th century, the powdered leaves were inhaled to treat migraines and chest infections. The Hindu people put basil sprigs on the chests of the dead to protect them from evil spirits. Italian women wore basil to attract possible suitors. It was listed in Hildegard’s Medicine, a compilation of early German medicines by highly regarded Benedictine herbalist Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179).“

Blends that have Basil In Them:

Want more Basil in your life?

Trying to avoid it because you’re one of those peeps listed above who shouldn’t use it?

It’s also in the following oil blends:

  • Aroma Siez
  • Clarity
  • M-Grain

PRACTICAL WAYS WE USE BASIL:

Let’s get down to it!

Pin this or dig out your special oily notebook and add these for future use!

1.) Growing pains! Dilute and apply right to the sore shins or knees (that’s where our boys hurt the most) or wherever it’s needed.

2.) Use as a part of the Raindrop Technique (included in Kitty and dog Raindrop as well!)

3.) Add to shampoo or conditioner for extra shine.

4.) Add a drop or two to the bath to help wind down at the end of a stressful day.

5) Three drops Basil + 1 dropper of CBD Base for sore muscles.

6.) Add a drop to marinades or pasta sauces for amazing flavor!

7.) Get more basil oil in your diet when enjoying one of our Slique Shakes.

8.) Dilute and apply to brainstem area when dealing with confusion.

9.) Put one drop neat into the palm of your hand, cup hands, bring to nose, and breathe in deeply when needing to refocus and concentrate.

10.) Dilute and apply to brainstem area and breathe in deeply when walking through emotional shock.

—————————————

11.) Enjoy the benefits of Basil when taking ICP (Intestinal Fiber Cleanse).

12.) Add a drop to your minestrone soup.

13.) Dilute and use daily either topically or internally for bone and joint support.

14.) Add alongside MindWise in your 2 oz of NingXia Red each day to support a healthy memory.

15.) I can dilute and either use with a cold compress on my joints affected by bursitis or take it internally to help. What a thing to be grateful for!

16.) Dilute and put on any ligament sprains or tears this house of athletes may suffer! I can take 15 drops of Aroma Siez (has Basil in it) and add it to 5 drops Lemongrass and apply 3-6 times per day.

17.) Add to veggie capsule for heartburn (it always strikes me right before bed–ugh!): 8 drops Sage, 3 drops Sacred Sandalwood, 2 drops Basil, 1 drop Palo Santo. You can use any single or mix of these oils you have.

18.) Dizziness! While I’ll need to figure out the root cause of any time I’m experiencing dizziness, I’ll grab the Basil and put a single drop under my nose to feel better first.

19.) This one has been put to the test a few times in our house: Place 2 drops Basil on a small piece of cotton and place it in our ear when we have an earache. I’ll also dilute it and rub it around (but not in!) our ear. This is one of the most amazing things we’ve experienced with Basil. It’s our go-to.

20.) Likewise, we’ll do the same when we have ear infections. Of course, I also tag team it with taking Thieves in honey to help in the way it always does in our house–fighting that ick!

—————————————

21.) Ever get ringing in your ear? So thankful we can take a drop of Basil and rub it along our ears, on temples, forehead, and the back of our neck whenever we need that annoying bit to stop it right now!

22.) Mental fatigue hits me around that middle-of-the-day slump! Breathing in a drop of Basil in my cupped hands perks me right up!

23.) Put a drop on corns and calluses 3 times a day. I can also use this mixture: 4 drops basil, 2 drops Myrrh, 2 drops Cypress, 1 drop Oregano, and 1 drop Hinoki. I’d apply this directly to the corn/calluses undiluted.

24.) I have used this multiple times for migraine, and it just flat out works! Massage Basil onto temples, base of the neck, center of the forehead, and at nostril openings. Massage on thumbs and big toes. Place warm compress with 1-2 drops of Basil on the back of my neck. I like M-Grain (has Basil in it) for this. I’ll also press a drop of Thieves to the roof of my mouth. If it’s sinus related, I’ll also rub Deep Relief along my sinuses.

25.) Okay, listen up new mamas (or older mamas like me, cause this never goes away!): Hemorrhoids. YASSS. Okay, here’s what you do: add 4 drops Basil, 1 drop Cistus, 1 drop Cypress, and 1 drop Helichrysum (or whatever mix of those oils you have on hand) and mix it into some Rose Ointment. You can dip a cotton round into this if you don’t have Rose Ointment, or just spread it on one if you do and place it where the sun don’t shine. If it stings a little, that’s okay. You’re not hurting yourself, promise. We both know those things are buggers. By the next application, you should be feeling some relief. I know I do!

26.) Menstrual cramps,anyone? Grab that Basil! Dilute and rub over your lower back and stomach. Kick it up a notch in the relief department when you add the Basil to a warm compress. Ahhhhh!

—————————————

27.) Bruise from a kid running into you really hard? No? Just me? 🙂 Add some Basil to carrier and rub over the bruise a couple times a day.

28.) Charley Horse, muscle spasm, or cramps (ugh! Pregnancy attacked me on this front!). Grab some Sulferzyme and add a drop of Basil and chug, girl! Or, if you don’t much love the taste of a pizzeria in your delicious Sulferzyme, you can have your Basil on the side in a veggie capsule. 🙂

29.) In this computer-driven life, Carpal Tunnel can run rampant. I love that I can dilute Basil and massage this into where it hurts most.

30.) Okay, I know this is super “ew,” but I’ve had to use this before. Parasites (which are way more common than I realized!). Take 3 drops in milk or in a capsule twice a day for 7 nights before bed. Rest 7 nights. Do this three times/cycles. I experienced a huge difference.

31.) Poison Ivy/Sumac/Oak. How do my boys always find this stuff? I have gotten rid of it more than once using just oils. Put 4-6 drops Basil and 4-6 drops Peppermint diluted on the affected areas twice a day. You can also add it to a cold compress to help any swelling.

32.) Dilute and use on spine for good spine support and health. I have a disc issue. I love that I can put Basil right on the area when it hurts. Especially when I just seem to have nagging lower back pain. Same for my neck and sciatica (hello, pregnancy!)

7 Amazing Health Benefits of Angelica

Before I share these 7 amazing health benefits of Angelica, we must first make sure you’ve got the right oils.

Yeah, I know…but really.

Your health and safety is nothing to mess with.

We’re trying to be healthier here, right?

7 health benefits of Angelica, specific dilution instructions, and in what other blends you'll find this amazing plant.

7 Health Benefits of Angelica Oil

  • Digestive issues. 1 drop Angelica in 2-4 drops carrier oil. Rub on stomach.
  • Promote a healthy circulatory and nervous system. Why would you do this? Google how those two affect our health. Same dilution as above put on the bottoms of our feet.
  • Respiratory strength. Dilute and rub over lungs. I think 2020 taught us why we need a strong respiratory system!
  • When we just need to relax. Stressful day? Put a few drops in the diffuser and breathe in and out deeply.
  • When I’m feeling negative. You know how you can just get the grumps? Putting some of this diluted on my outer ear and over my brain stem is some real chill.
  • Hormone balancing. True, if I hadn’t switched to all Young Living toxin-free products, no amount of Angelica could stop the storm of hormonal crazy that the store bought stuff was doing to me. However, now that I’ve slowly ditched and switched over to less expensive Young Living, I can utilize Angelica’s full potential! I can put this diluted on my inner wrist.
  • Emotional release. Emotions can wreak havoc on our health. I wasn’t sure what I would think about The Emotion Code, but after seeing some huge improvements in my own health and my family’s, I can’t recommend it more! Pairing this technique with Angelica is powerful!

Can you believe all the health benefits of Angelica? It’s just one tiny plant!

7 health benefits of Angelica, specific dilution instructions, and in what other blends you'll find this amazing plant.

Angelica’s History

According to The Essential Oils Reference Guide, Angelica is “known as the “Holy Spirit Root” or the “Oil of Angels” by the Europeans. Its healing powers were so strong that it was believed to be of divine origin. From the time of Paracelsus, it was credited with the ability to protect from the plague. The stems were chewed during the plague of 1660 to prevent infection. When burned, the seeds and roots were thought to purify the air.”

Where Else Can You Find It?

The following oil blends contain Angelica.

If you like the benefits from this single oil and the uses from the other blends listed, these could be for you!

*Note: Each 5mL bottle has around 100 uses or “servings,” and each 15mL around 300. This can help keep pricing in the correct frame of mind. Also, don’t forget to “subscribe and save (24% discount)” or utilize the Loyalty Rewards program if you’re excited about going toxin-free.

  • Forgiveness
  • Grounding
  • Harmony
  • Surrender
  • T-Away (for pets)
  • Loyalty (not for sale; free with each year’s anniversary you’re in the Loyalty Rewards program! I use mine as perfume; it’s so lovely!)
  • Celebration

Extra Info.

*This is a single oil. Only one plant was distilled to create Angelica.

**It has high photosensitivity. If you’re heading into the sun, just wear it where the sun won’t touch (like the bottoms of your feet).

***Don’t use if you’re diabetic.

****Of course, if you’re pregnant, you’ll always speak to your healthcare provider before using anything new. This isn’t any different.

*****To dilute for babies 0-1, put one drop into 10 drops of carrier oil (any fatty oil like coconut, almond, or grapeseed).

******To dilute for ages 2-6, add 1 drop in 4 drops carrier.

*******For ages 7 and up use 1 drop Angelica in 1 drop carrier.

You can always add more carrier if you’d like.

All About Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil

Have you tried Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil?

I love it, so let’s jump in to learn all about it!

Sourcing

Did you know that women apply over 300 harmful chemicals before breakfast?

And here’s the scary thing: on the whole, people are actually trying to cut back on toxins.

So, we buy the earthy labels that say words like, “non-GMO” and “natural” and even “100% therapeutic” yet use other harmful pesticide-sprayed plant material, fragrance, etc.

Because of this struggle, we only use products like Cel-Lite Magic because it comes from Young Living.

You can read all about why we only use YL here.

Here’s the ingredients list:

  • Caprylic/capric triglyceride (coconut oil)
  • grape seed oil
  • wheat germ oil
  • sweet almond oil
  • olive oil
  • Grapefruit essential oil
  • Cypress essential oil
  • Cedarwood essential oil
  • Juniper essential oil
  • Clary Sage essential oil

How to Use It

It’s super simple!

Just massage on locations where you need some firming and toning. You can use in massage or you can even add it to bath water. Just make sure to shake it up before you use it!

Another great way to use it is after dry brushing. Grab your free printable for detox dry brushing with this oil here.

A Day in the Life of an Oily Family

How I wish I’d been taught to be an oily family when I was making my home from the start!

Now that I’ve got it, I love to share it with others.

In this article, I’m going to share with you what it’s really like to live this lifestyle.

Come on in!

Welcome to our home!

Wake Up!

Good morning!

To flush our bodies of toxins we’ll encounter out in the world, we use Lemon oil.

Lemon essential oil from Young Living doesn’t have the acidic wear and tear on your teeth that the flesh of a lemon would.

I don’t know about you, but we just don’t drink enough water if we aren’t super intentional about it.

So, we fill up our water bottles first thing (we’ve been loving these bottles!) and put a drop or two of Lemon oil in there to help boost our immune system and help us drink more water.

In the Kitchen

We start our morning in the kitchen cleaning up after breakfast.

What I love about Thieves Dish Soap is how concentrated it is. We get lots of bottles from one!

It also knocks out grease like an old pro.

With two boys and a dog, killing germs and cleaning dirty hands is important.

Being able to split this one soap into four is even better.

I just grabbed these foaming hand soap bottles from Amazon, poured a fourth of the concentrate in, and filled the rest with water.

Want to guess how many cleaners we had in our house before Young Living?

After clearing out the old and replacing the new I later found 14 bottles in the basement, so…

No telling what we were doing with all those cleaners!

Thieves Household Cleaner one does it all.

*NOTE: This is highly concentrated. There are 29 bottles of cleaner in one.

You can read more about it in 50 Top Ways to Use Thieves Household Cleaner.

Ever wonder what using Young Living really looks like? What an oily family really does with all those oils? Here's your chance!

Diffusers

We need the house to smell nice, these homeschooled little nuggets need to focus, and mama needs some chill.

So, we diffuse…all day long!

We had lots to choose from, but Desert Mist is my fave because it’ll diffuse 12 hours.

I’ll put Purification blend in the boys rooms because boys stink and Purification fixes that.

I’ll add something cozy in my room like Orange and Idaho Grand Fir to boost immunity and purify the air, and then some GeneYus from the KidScents line in the homeschool room for the boys.

Isn’t the Desert Mist so pretty?!

Ever wonder what using Young Living really looks like? What an oily family really does with all those oils? Here's your chance!

Shower/Get Ready

Here’s a quick rundown of what we’ve got going on in the bathrooms fully transferred over to Young Living.

Zero synthetics. No pesticides. Absolutely no filler or fragrance!

How’s that for hormonal strength?!

This is for Mama, Daddy, and boys:

  • Deodorant
  • Bath/Shower Gel
  • Oral Care
  • Makeup & Remover
  • Shaving Oil
  • Haircare
  • Beard oil
  • Perfume
  • Hormone support
  • Skincare
  • Anti-aging
  • Maximum Strength Acne Treatment

It’s crazy to think about all of these in the toxic form that looked so harmless before going into our bloodstream.

It’s such a relief to know everything we’re using is truly safe.

Supplements

The drug mindset is to use a specific medicine or whatever it is forever (i.e. if I take a vitamin C tablet today, I’m locked in for life).

We’ve adopted the supplement mindset with Young Living.

We take what we need when our bodies need it, and don’t stress when we don’t.

That’s why we use our Subscribe and Save orders to add to our arsenal of health; now it’s there when we need it.

How do I know when to take them?

It tells me on the side of the bottle.

As I’m writing this it’s during the pandemic and it’s winter.

So we’re using Super Vitamin D and other immune boosters from Young Living right now!

Laundry

I’ve long given up on being on top of laundry, but I do feel great about what I use on our clothes!

First of all, Thieves Laundry Detergent dilutes out like crazy, which you can read about here.

That saves us lots each month!

Then, we use this laundry freshener or these safe fabric softeners to make life easy.

It’s crazy how our air quality changed when we got rid of old detergents and softeners!

Ever wonder what using Young Living really looks like? What an oily family really does with all those oils? Here's your chance!

Heading Out with the Family

I’ll pack Young Living Einkhorn granola, water bottles, Young Living sunscreen, Young Living bug spray, and Young Living after sun to make sure we’re ready to go.

Of course we’ve always got those must-haves with kids, like this first aid spray, Owie blend, and lots of bandaids because…kids.

This is just a small sampling of the over-the-counters Young Living provides to make our life easier.

We also really rely on the Full Spectrum CBD!

Dinner, Unwinding, and Bedtime

We’ve got our lineup of Vitality oils (those we can ingest) for cooking.

To unwind, the boys’ rooms will get their diffusers refilled with their nighttime oils.

What’s really cool is that since their rooms were diffusing immune boosting and air purifying oils all day, they’re settling down into a an amazing space for optimal sleep.

Of course I keep my standbys in the hall for anything night time can bring:

  • PanAway for when we’ve got growing pains
  • SleepyIze when it’s tough to fall asleep
  • Seedlings Linen Spray to prep pillows for easy rest
  • Thieves Chest Rub in case I hear the start of a cough in the night
  • Peace & Calming for night time wind down in their diffusers and backs of their necks.
Ever wonder what using Young Living really looks like? What an oily family really does with all those oils? Here's your chance!

Easy as Pie

Remember getting your first place?

Running out to grab all of your basics?

This time you get to do it right and save tons of money in the process.

We took advantage of the Subscribe and Save option to save a ton and budget best, and boy does it work! You can read all about it here.

If you’re ready to get rolling and can see this lifestyle fitting right into your very own, this is your next step!

If you need a one-on-one conversation, I’d absolutely love to hear from you! Let’s connect by emailing me at andrea@gospalchapter.com.

How to Get Young Living Essential Oils + FREEBIES!

How to get Young Living Essential Oils and the amazing freebies is simple!

I’ll walk you through how in this post!

High Value, Lower Cost

By now you’ve read about our journey with essential oils and why it absolutely had to be Young Living.

Maybe you could picture yourself making the switch to this new lifestyle after following our family through a day in our oily life.

However you landed here, know you’re in the right place for a healthy change and to save tons of money compared to your old, toxic lifestyle.

This post walks you through how to get Young Living oils, what their toxin-free lifestyle really looks like, and what your options are.

First Decision: Wholesale or Retail

We were so sick of putting bandaids on everything and were ready for a real change.

Because we didn’t want to be roped into anything where we were forced to sell or spend any certain amount, we made Young Living fit our lifestyle.

Retail means to buy at full price.

Wholesale gives you discounts and the ability to choose the monthly program to budget (which you can read about here).

Becoming a Wholesale Member

Wholesale makes the most sense if you’re looking for more than just an oil or a bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner.

You’ve got a few different kit options here:

Diffuser Choice with Kit

If you choose the oils kit, you can pick a diffuser.

Here’s a quick break down of each, so you know which you’d like to choose. You get the diffuser FREE in the Premium Starter Kit!

Frequently Asked Questions

DOES SIGNING UP MAKE ME A “DISTRIBUTOR”?

Nope! You aren’t ever required to sell.

When you become a wholesale member, you get a special link you can share with friends and get credit from their purchases, but there are no minimum sales amounts if you choose to use it.

In fact, 90% of the wholesale members in Young Living don’t do the business side at all. They’re buying from Young Living because of the quality.

WHAT ABOUT MINIMUM PURCHASES?

There are NO minimum monthly purchase requirements.

To remain a wholesale member, you have to make $50 worth of purchases per year to keep your membership.

But if there’s a year that you don’t make a $50 purchase, you can reinstate your wholesale membership discount by just placing a $50 order.

If you do find yourself making regular purchases each month, then Young Living has a rewards program (called Essential Rewards) where you can make a nice percentage back in product credit each month on all of your purchases.

So that’s a great program to join if you find that you *want* to purchase regularly (but it’s not a requirement for being a wholesale member).

WHY SHOULD I BUY FROM YOUNG LIVING INSTEAD OF OTHER ESSENTIAL OILS COMPANIES?

It does seem like a new essential oils company pops up every day, doesn’t it? 

I can’t speak to the quality of other companies, but I can say that Young Living was the only company in my research of essential oil companies that could answer all of my questions about purity in a way that was satisfactory to me.

Young Living was the only company that:

  • Has their own farms (in the regions where the plants should be grown)
  • Could guarantee that no pesticides or herbicides were used in the growing of any of their oils (they use essential oils for pest control and they do all of the weeding by hand). Organic is not pesticide or herbicide free. It’s a step down.
  • Has their own testing equipment (they do both in-house and 3rd party testing, and use many different testing methods not just GC/MS which only tests for certain chemicals, not whether those chemicals are synthetic or not)
  • Only uses the first distillation of oils instead of adding chemicals to get more out of the plant.

Young Living also was the only company that was directly in charge of essential oil farming operations.

Every other company I researched goes through some kind of an “oil broker” to buy their oils. Even if they’re “sustainably sourced,” that’s not something you want.

They have to trust that the oil broker is telling the truth, who has to trust that the essential oil distilleries are telling the truth, who have to trust that the farmers are telling the truth about what they say they are doing.

With Young Living, you just have to trust one company instead of several.

I felt the most comfortable trusting Young Living since they’re a full-disclosure company.

ANYONE can visit the farms, participate in the harvesting and distillation, view the Young Living labs, and see the entire process. That’s not an option with any other company!

HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH OILS TO USE FOR WHAT?

One of the benefits of getting a starter kit is that you also get to join our private Facebook group that’s specifically for questions about essential oils!

My weekly usage tips and recipes will text straight to you making life even simpler!

DOES YOUNG LIVING ONLY SELL ESSENTIAL OILS?

The answer to this one was surprising to me when I first got my starter kit!

Young Living uses their pesticide-free, synthetic-free, fragrance free, people over profit model to create over 600 lifestyle products.

Most all of these are concentrated, so it’s like buying bulk in small bottles saving you lots in the process.

Thanks so much for reading and please email me at andrea@gospalchapter.com for any other questions!

Reduce a Fever Naturally

The top 4 ways to reduce fever naturally is simple.

I can’t believe we haven’t been doing this all along!

My hope is that this article encourages and leads you to a more natural option.

By the end, I pray you’ll be fully convinced to ditch fever reducers for good.

*Disclaimer: Pesticides and/or synthetics are in every other oil brand. I can only in good conscience recommend Young Living, who never sprays, but instead hand weeds and allows you on their farms all over the world to see for yourself. No one else offers this.

1.Peppermint

One of the most complete oils is Peppermint.

We add one drop of Peppermint to four drops of a “carrier oil” like this one. Then, we put it on the bottoms of our feet and along our spine.

We do this every fifteen minutes until our temperature is at a more comfortable level.

The last time I did it, I brought my child’s 104 degree fever to 101 in an hour.

By that time, he could get to sleep comfortably.

The next morning, he was up running and playing!

Fever is one of the most powerful healing responses of the human body. We don’t want to take it away. Instead, we protect, soothe, and comfort.

Our family is grateful for the gradual cooling Young Living’s Peppermint provides.

Plow & Hearth

2. Vitality Water

Create your own electrolyte drink without the sugar (immune suppressing), dye, and preservatives.

Young Living’s Vitality Drops have naturally occurring electrolytes from the Great Salt Lake to keep you hydrated.

Not only that, but have you tasted these?

YUM!

**Pro Tip: Glass only.

3. Spine Power!

Lemon and Frankincense are two we add to carrier along the spine.

We apply them to the spine because of how many nerves there. Also, there are two carotid arteries and two vertebral arteries found there.

This means better absorption.

The oils are carried better throughout the bloodstream with that kind of artery power behind it.

Frankincense is a huge support in immune boosting, and Lemon is lovely for supporting a natural detox.

4. Get to the Root

We like oil blends like ImmuPower and nutritionals like Super C Chewables. Because of these, we’re able to work on the root problem through serious support of the body.

Instead of breaking down the gut, we build up the body with Young Living oils and oil-infused supplements.

We’re not destroying our gut health. We’re working toward bringing our body back above the line of wellness. This means our immune system doesn’t take a huge hit like it does with antibiotics.

Batteries Plus

Consistency

Be consistent when trying to lower a fever.

Stay hydrated, well rested, and put the oils on often throughout the day.

Follow the directions on your supplements.

Use your oils… a lot. (No, you won’t overdo it)

Feel better.

It’s a simple as that.

We have learned an important lesson.

Ditching gut-harming medicines and focusing on the supporting of our immune system makes fever much easier to handle.

The top 4 ways to reduce fever naturally are so simple, much more cost-effective, and don't harm your vital organs like all other fever reducers.

Top 5 Prepper Must Haves

Top 5 Light Prepper Must Have Items

While we aren’t panicking about the new virus, we have been thinking about our top 5 light prepper must have items.

Those guys haven’t left their homes in a month.

Would we have what we needed if that were us?

I’m not so sure I’m 100% on board with the full-on prepper thinking, which is why I’ve labeled this light prepping.

Everyone has to start somewhere, right?

Here’s our top 5.

HanesInk

1. Life Pitcher

We need water, right?

If our source to clean water was somehow cut off, I’d like to know I could give my family one of our most basic needs.

This Life Pitcher would come in handy if the situation warranted it.

2. Immunity Items

Let me be super frank with you.

The immune boosts in the store don’t work.

They have synthetic flavoring, cane syrup, and sugar.

Sugar=lowered immune system.

Not exactly ideal in our current situation, let alone one where we couldn’t get medical attention.

The Thieves line through Young Living is super concentrated but comes in small bottles.

For example…

One bottle of cleaner has 29 spray bottles worth of cleaner!

One bottle of oil is 300 drops!

One foaming hand soap is really three!

In addition, it just makes good sense to get on their Essential Rewards program.

It saves our family over $2,000 per year compared to shopping at the store!

These highly concentrated products last, which is exactly what we’re looking for when preparing for the unknown.

Click the picture below to get your own Thieves Kit.

3. Illness Items

Everything over-the-counter is not only not that effective, but it’s super damaging and immune lowering.

Get these main items in your life that last a good, long while and are highly effective!

Here’s a quick rundown of what our family has used the last three years.

*Note: anything outside Young Living will only further do harm because of chemicals sprayed on plants and/or synthetics added to the final products.

Our family uses the following:

Germs (bacteria and viral): Thieves, Frankincense, Lemon, Inner Defense capsules

Cuts: Lavender, Owie

Chest Congestion: R.C., Raven, Cypress, Breathe Again

Rashes: Lavender, Tea Tree

Stomach Issues: DiGize, Peppermint

Eight of those are in this Premium Starter Kit.

A fast way to have this delivered to you directly: click here.

4. Heirloom Seeds

Keeping heirloom seeds handy in case you’d have to raise your own food is a good idea.

Here are some organic, non-gmo options that will help boost your overall health along with your immunity builders mentioned above.

5. 72 Hour Kit

This has four packs of the must-have items if a serious needs arise.

It will last you three days, and it has all of your basics in one single pack.

This is something I could get on board with, being a light prepper.

I think one of my biggest issues with prepping is imagining a ton of items we may or may not use laying all over the house.

That’s why I love the concentrated Young Living products, the small packages of heirloom seeds, etc.

Final Thoughts

While I may not be fully on the prepper train just yet, I will say having watched the past couple months unfold has made me wonder.

What would our little family of four do if we were bound to our home and couldn’t get out for medical attention?

How would we handle low food, water, or energy?

I may not be lining shelves with canned food just yet, but these five basics could be a way to give us a little peace of mind.

Champion.com (Hanesbrands Inc.)
These are the simplest and most important top 5 light prepper must have items for your home in case your family found themselves in need.

Handle Stress for Good

Learn a few simple, cost-effective ways to handle your stress naturally and how to equip yourself with your own just right tools.

Learn how to handle stress for good with these super simple additions to your wellness routine.

1. Safe Essential Oils

Because of pesticides, fragrance, and/or synthetics used in every other oil company, I can only in good conscience recommend Young Living.

You can learn more here.

*Note: Each 15mL bottle has around 300 drops; each 5mL, 100.

  1. Diffuse: Use your diffuser and choose from Lemon, Lavender, Stress Away or Peace & Calming. Diffuse 2-3 drops. My favorites are Lavender and Stress away.
  2. Breathe Deep: Put a drop of Trauma Life or Release in your hand. Rub your hands together. Cup over your nose, and breathe deeply.
  3. Roller Bottle: Repurpose an old 15mL oil bottle or get multiple new rollers here. Add 20-30 drops of your favorite stress relieving oil. Then fill the rest with carrier oil like our V-6 oil. Roll on the bottoms of your feet or on the back of your neck.

2. Nutritionals

  • SleepEssence: Combines lavender, vetiver, valerian, and Ruta graveolens essential oils with the melatonin (youngliving.com).

3. Sleep

Sleep is hugely important to your overall health as well as how you handle emotional and situational stresses.

Try for sleep around the same time each night. Turn off your WiFi and set your phone to airplane mode to get a better night’s sleep.

4. Massage Oils

Young Living has 7 different massage oils. I recommend the Relaxation Massage Oil or making a quick DIY with one of the stress-relieving blends mentioned above.

For a quick guide, dilute 1 drop essential oil to 4 drops carrier like the V-6 from Young Living.

Final Thoughts

I encourage you to dig into preventing stress rather than waiting until you’re overwhelmed to grab what you need.

This is why it’s so important to have Young Living essential oils wellness arsenal with Subscribe and Save.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, right?

Let’s be proactive to keep our minds sharp, emotions in balance, and stress levels low.

Learn a few simple, cost-effective ways to handle your stress naturally and how to equip yourself with your own just right tools.

Top 10 Most Powerful Immune Boosts

The most powerful immune boosts on the market might surprise you, and what you're using now could be lowering your immune system.

In this article, I will share the top 10 most powerful immune boosts.

These are keystone products for every home’s health and wellbeing.

*Note: any underlined item is linked directly to its website for easy viewing.

1.DITCH Disinfectant Cleaners SWITCH to Thieves Household Cleaner

  • Lysol and those like it are super dangerous and lower your immune function immensely
  • Lysol is a pesticide
  • Thieves Household Cleaner has zero pesticides
  • It kills 99.96% of germs
  • Thieves Household Cleaner dilutes to be around seventy five cents per bottle

*Note: Thieves Household Cleaner is a concentrate. You put one capful in a spray bottle then use around the house. This IS different from Thieves essential oil or any of the rest of the Thieves line of products from Young Living.

2. DITCH Store Sanitizers SWITCH to Thieves Hand Sanitizer

  • Store sanitizers harm genital growth and function
  • Store sanitizers are drying and harm your hormones/endocrine disruptors
  • Thieves Hand Sanitizer has zero pesticides or body-harming ingredients
  • It boosts immune and respiratory system
  • Thieves Hand Sanitizer kills 99.99% of germs

3. DITCH “Vitamin C” OTCs SWITCH to Thieves Essential Oil, Super C

  • The most popular Vitamin C OTC has 7g sugar (hugely immune lowering)
  • Vitamin C OTCs have coloring and “natural flavoring,” which is code for not real in the least
  • Vitamin C OTCs have synthetic flavoring. Your body isn’t synthetic, and it doesn’t respond well to it. It’s like kicking your immune system while it’s down.
  • Vitamin C OTCs have corn syrup solids (um…no thanks)
  • Thieves essential oil blend kills bad bacteria and leaves the good. Put it in a capsule or in your favorite tea for a real immune boost
  • Super C is a Young Living essential oil-infused supplement.

*Note: Each bottle of Thieves essential oil at 15mL is roughly 300 drops. A 5mL bottle is around 100 drops. This really lasts and is super economical! Think about how cheap those other pesticide-filled oils are…there’s a reason!! Young Living is hand-weeded, never sprayed with any pesticide, and there are zero fragrance or synthetics added ever!

4. Sleep Exercise, Organic Fruit + Veggies + Thieves F+V Soak!

The first two are easy to understand. What’s up with this Fruit and Veggie Soak, though?

  • Organic fruits and veggies are gassed with carcinogenic preservatives while they travel across the country or as they come from other countries
  • You can literally see these in the water after using Thieves Fruit and Veggie Soak
  • The wash stretches super far and lasts a good, long time saving your health and money

*Note: Super concentrated, too. One small capful in a big bowl of water each time stretches nicely!

5. DITCH Store-Bought Hand Soaps SWITCH to Thieves Hand Soap

  • Store-bought hand soaps kill all germs, even the good ones you need to be well
  • They have synthetics, which lowers immune function
  • Store-bought hand soaps have fragrance, which lowers immune function
  • Thieves Hand Soap kills the bad and keeps the good.
  • Thieves Hand Soap has zero pesticides, fragrance, or synthetics

*Note: Like the Thieves Household Cleaner, the hand soap is also concentrated. I get four or five bottles out of one. Take about 2TBS of your concentrate and put it into a foam bottle like this one and fill the rest with water.

6. Minimize Stress

Stress affects the immune system.

Thankfully, there are a ton of Young Living options for reducing stress.

  • Stress Away, Peace & Calming, and Lavender work within your amygdala to literally reduce stress
  • Pray. Lay your cares at the feet of Jesus. I cannot stress this enough as a mama who has had to do this plenty of times!
  • Breathing and exercise

7. DITCH Store-Bought Elderberry SWITCH to Organic and Pesticide-Free

  • Remy’s Elderberry Syrup is organic. She will add Young Living’s Vitality oils, too.
  • We add it to NingXia Red and Thieves.
  • Remy’s has gummys for kids, too

8. DITCH ALL FRAGRANCE

I cannot stress this enough.

Fragrance is one of the scariest chemicals in our homes, and we don’t even know it.

  • Fragrance damages your endocrine system
  • You need a strong endocrine system to have a strong immune system

9. Bust those Unscented + Fragrance Free MYTHS

  • Unscented is a term for adding fragrance-masking chemicals.
  • Fragrance-Free is a term for using fragrance for something other than odor.
  • See #8 for why these don’t fit the bill for immune boosting lifestyle

10. Boost Water with Lemon Essential Oil + Vitality Drops

  • Lemon oil is flushing.
  • It’s immune boosting
  • Lemon oil is from the rind. It has a neutral pH and never damages tooth enamel.
  • Vitality Drops will help replace lost electrolytes and make your water taste amazing!
  • Young Living is the only company not spraying any of their plants with pesticides, which get into your bloodstream and wreak havoc. Thank You, God for Young Living!

Final Thoughts

The best way to make these switches is to utilize the Subscribe and Save option. This gets you 24% off and you’re able to keep a slow and steady approach to your wellness.

When you spend at least 50PV each month (not a requirement, just a Loyalty program you can choose like we do!), you get points back to spend like cash on your next order.

This will help you take a huge leap toward a strong immune system.

Bag

Can we just pause for a moment and look at how cute that bag is?!

How perfect for spring!

Valor

Valor is commonly referred to as a chiropractor in a bottle.

While I’d never trade it out for an actual chiropractor all together, it has gotten me through some rough times for sure.

This is also an amazing oil to help your emotions and bring courage.

Clarity

Clarity is one of my favorites!

It helps me stay focused and gives me a little energy boost.

I also like to rub it on my temples if I feel the start of a headache coming on.

JuvaFlex

JuvaFlex provides liver support.

It is said that the liver is where we store anger and hate.

Whether you believe that or not, we can all agree it’s a super important part of our health, and we must take great care of it.

JuvaFlex in a veggie capsule will be so kind to your liver and therefore your overall health!

Gentle Baby

Gentle Baby is great for your skin, calming your emotions, and will be something I use on my “mama marks” for sure when my free bottle arrives in a few days!

Traveling During Cold + Flu Season

Traveling tips during cold and flu season and walking away unscathed is much easier than you may think. Here we share our best wellness tips.

Traveling During Cold and Flu Season

This family of ours loves travel, and my husband has to do it often for work, so traveling during cold and flu season happens to be our specialty.

It can be simple and super low-cost.

This works for us every time.

Roadtrippers.com

Preemptively Strike and then Keep Attacking

Boost your immune system before, during, and after you travel.

Here are our top body boosters we never leave home without:

  • Thieves Essential Oil Blend
  • Inner Defense capsules
  • Lemon Essential Oil
  • DiGize Essential Oil Blend
Plow & Hearth

The Trip There

Will you be around a lot of other people who don’t live in your home on the way there?

If so, this little trick is amazing.

Mix a bit of Rose Ointment (a very small amount goes a really long way!) and 1 drop Thieves essential oil.

Rub around the outside of your nostrils to help block airborne germs.

Sanitize

Store-bought sanitizers actually lower your immune system function and destroy your hormones.

Skip it.

Instead, stock up on Thieves Hand Sanitizer.

It kills 99.99% of germs, supports your immune and respiratory system, and leaves those beautiful hormones alone.

Bonus?

The little ones here fit into all those cute little travel holders like this one (who even knew they had something like this?!).

The New Digs

Wherever you stay, set up like you’re ready to do battle.

  • Diffuser with Thieves ready to go
  • Hand Soap, shampoo, body wash, etc. from Young Living (everything else is synthetic and lowers immune function) or invest in the Bon Voyage Travel Pack here–we love ours!
  • Raven roller next to your night stand
  • Inner Defense next to your night stand
  • Plenty of water for your glass water bottle
  • Lemon essential oil

Coming Home

Changing clothes and showering as soon as you get home will help reduce the germs that linger on clothes and hair.

Get your diffuser going, take an Inner Defense, drink some lemon water or add some of the Vitality Drops to your water, and turn in early so you can let your body recover from your time away from home.

The next day or two, follow up with continued diffusing and taking Thieves in a capsule, honey, or in Thieves tea.

Gaiam Wholesale Program

Final Thoughts

Traveling with Young Living means you can enjoy your trip and your time settling back in at home after your time away.

It’s such a relief to know that we don’t have to feel panicky or nervous about travel during the sickest times of the year.

We have the only pesticide and synthetic free way of life boosting our bodies!

And that is something for which our family is forever grateful.

Don’t have the Young Living lifestyle in your home yet?

With over 600 lifestyle products, you’ll be completely covered and your wallet will thank you, too since the concentrated products provide a much more frugal and safer lifestyle than shopping in store.

Cough & Congestion Naturally

How we attack cough & congestion might surprise you because of how easy it is, but here it is: our fool-proof way to feeling better fast.

How we attack cough & congestion might surprise you.

We never go to the store, and we’re never given prescriptions.

But this works better than anything we’ve ever tried.

Sam's Club

Supported Lungs

The only pesticide-free essential oils available are all over our home.

We call this our “wellness arsenal” because we believe God made us to be well and created plants for us to use to this end.

This was how we support our lungs.

Taking away all fragrance, cleaners, and replacing them with Young Living’s safe products made a world of difference.

Life and Home

Oils We Use

Raven is helpful when we have cough and nasty congestion.

We put one drop of Raven in four drops carrier (fatty oil like avocado, olive, coconut, etc) and rub it over our lungs and throat.

Since consistency is key, we make a batch and set a timer on our phone or Alexa to remind us.

Lymphatic Drainage

Okay, the name is gross, but goodness does this work!

Here are the simple directions.

Hydration

Lemon essential oil is our go-to in our reverse osmosis water.

We sip on this in glass only (no one wants to drink petrochemicals!). Keeping up with this hydration process helps flush all the ickiness out of our system.

Nutritional Supplements

Our biggest successes came when we ditched the drug mindset and adopted a supplement/wellness way of thinking.

What’s at the root of this cough and congestion?

Why bandage something without taking care of the cause first?

That’s why we always keep Inner Defense in the house and add it to our Subscribe and Save to arrive every few months, so we never run out.

The oils in this capsule are a sure fire way to get us feeling better fast.

Neti Pot

Okay, I know what you might be thinking.

And believe me. I feel you.

I have my own love-hate relationship with my Neti-Pot, but let me tell you what.

When you put a drop of Rosemary and a drop of Tea Tree into your solution, the results are unbelievable.

Pro Tip: Use only reverse osmosis water and boil it in a lead-free kettle for optimal safety.

Safe Cough Drops

Dyes, synthetics, and pesticides are doing us zero favors.

Instead, try Young Living’s cough drops or make your own with Thieves and Lemon essential oils.

They work amazingly well without anything harming your body while you’re trying to feel better.

Soothe Your Throat

Thieves tea is my jam, y’all.

Steep your favorite organic tea (though I still think Cinnamon tastes best with these oils!).

This helps us break up our congestion.

Then sip to soothe a scratchy throat and enjoy.

Remake as often as needed.

Thieves Tea

  1. Steep tea
  2. Add 1 drop Thieves, 1 drop Peppermint, 1 drop Frankincense, 1 drop Copaiba, 1 drop Lavender, and 2 drops Lemon.
  3. Missing any of those in your oily collection? Just throw in what you do have!
  4. Add honey to taste and waft toward you to open your sinuses and start breathing better!
  5. Sip and remake as many times a day as you need.

We use this to soothe sore throat, stem cough, and for a serious immune boost any time we need it.

Microsoft Azure Certification Training

Diffuse!

Grab your diffuser and some Raven.

Put a couple drops in and sit right next to it as you give your body some time to rest.

My favorites for cough are Raven, R.C., Eucalyptus Radiata, and Thieves.

Having a diffuser right next to you as you rest or nap is the best way.

That’s a way to make sure you’re feeling better and staying consistent with your oily routine here, so you can be back to normal in no time.

HanesInk

Final Thoughts

If you’re already living the pesticide-free lifestyle, some of these will be normal for you like taking Thieves Vitality, diffusing, and drinking Lemon Vitality oil in your water.

That’s wonderful!

If not, don’t worry.

It’s something that starts to feel second nature in no time.

I’ll be in touch to place you in our oily education tribe, but feel free to ask any questions first contacting me directly at andrea@gospalchapter.com.

Give yourself grace and rest, friend.

Many blessings to you and quick healing when you’re not feeling well!

Top 10 Natural Living Must Haves

We've gathered up our most useful top ten  natural living must haves so you can make your switch to safer living safe and simple.

What are the top 10 natural living must haves?

It seems like everyone is going toward safer ingredients, but which can you trust?

These ten definitely hit the mark.

1. Premium Starter Kit + Essential Rewards: Young Living

This is an obvious one. It’s how our family got started.

No one else offers both synthetic and pesticide-free living.

With over 600 lifestyle products, you’re getting way more than just essential oils.

Plus, Young Living is concentrated. It’s basically buying in bulk, but in small bottles.

Finally, Subscribe and Save makes this lifestyle even more financially freeing!

2. Lead-Free Glassware

Ditch those plastic storage bins faster than you ditched candles, y’all!

Petrochemicals leech into your food and harm your body.

It’s easier to find lead-free glassware than you think.

Find our favorite food storage here.

Get our favorite glasses here.

See our favorite dishes here.

Discover our favorite straws here.

Fall in love with our favorite mixing bowls here.

3. Toaster Oven

Kick the microwave to the curb and fast!

The toaster oven (like this one) takes a bit longer, but seems like it’s done in no time once it’s a part of your routine.

Who wants to destroy all the good nutrients in your food and harm your body with extra radiation when you could have leftovers that taste just like dinner last night?

Toaster oven bonus?

Cook, warm, toast…all in one!

4. Outlet Timer for WiFi Router

Adults and children alike are overexposed to radiation from phones, tablets, computers, and WiFi.

This simple timer will allow your family to have the WiFi shut off at a certain time before bed and will turn back on when you need it in the morning or afternoon.

We noticed a huge difference in how the entire family slept without WiFi on all night.

Home all day?

You can still turn it off and on as needed!

5. Blue Light Blockers

With all the time we spend looking at blue light, research is finding our eyes are deteriorating faster than any other generation before us.

Blue light blocking glasses like these for adults and these for kids are super helpful as well as Young Living’s IlluminEyes supplement and NingXia Red!

6. Glass Kettle

I love coffee and tea.

A glass kettle like this one keeps me from ever needing a harmful microwave to warm my water.

Even better, you can avoid drinking petrochemicals from heated plastic coffee makers with a Chemex coffee maker instead.

You can also have richer coffee with a Bur grinder, and avoid bleached coffee filters with this reusable filter.

7. Ceramic Neti Pot

I have a love-hate relationship with my Neti Pot, but I cannot deny the power in it!

I’m sure you’ve heard of some of the dangers of Neti Potting because of our water nowadays.

The glass kettle in number six is a sure way to make sure you have good, boiled water, but suggestion number eight will be even more important.

Just make sure you let it cool down for a long time before you use it!

8. Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration

Have you ever tested your water?

Like, really tested it?

I was shocked when we did our testing.

Our super high filtration system was not that helpful.

Drinking from filtered refrigerators was like drinking tap.

Drinking from the tap…well…not good, friends. Not good at all.

Ideally, a whole home reverse osmosis is best because of how much exposure we have with showering and hand washing.

If that’s out of your price range, a much more doable option is an under-the-sink reverse osmosis with these shower head attachments.

9. Clean Up Your Cleaners

It’s no surprise to learn that household cleaners are seriously dangerous.

Like, reports of holes burned in the esophagus, asthma, and lowered immune system bad.

Why not save yourself a ton of money and health issues?

The best way to do this is to get a refillable mop and the Thieves line.

The Thieves Household Cleaner on its own makes 29 spray bottles just from the one concentrated bottle.

This is the only cleaner in our home.

It kills 99.96% of germs.

Yes, you can use it on all surfaces.

And oh, yes. It smells like Christmas.

10. Clean Your Air

Diffusers are everywhere, but why is using them alongside the only safe essential oils so important?

  • Every hour a candle burned = one cigarette smoked to your lungs
  • Essential oils are only required to have 5% oil in the bottle
  • Young Living is the ONLY company not spraying their plants with pesticides (think Round-Up in your veins within 26 seconds of touching your skin)

If you choose Young Living to make your house smell like home, you’re not only ditching seriously harmful fragrances.

With Young Living in your diffuser of choice, you’re also building your immune system, supporting your mood, memory, bones, cardiovascular health, and more!

Final Thoughts

A safe lifestyle takes a little time to step into, but it’s the best thing you can do for both you and for four generations beyond your own.

You have to protect your family, and thanks to this list, you’ve got a great start.

I Have my Young Living Starter Kit, Now What?

If you've been thinking to yourself, "I have my starter kit, now what?" after getting your start with Young Living, here's the next step.

I Have My Young Living Starter Kit, Now What?

If you’re thinking to yourself, “I have my Young Living Starter Kit, so now what?” you’re in the right place!

A few easy steps to success are up ahead!

Step 1: Get Connected

The way Young Living works is by word of mouth.

Some of us love this way of life so much that we tell everyone we know and help you all along for the ride.

Get connected with what we call your “upline leader” and go to classes both online and in person.

Scroll through their Facebook group to learn something new to apply each day (or week-go at your pace!) that’s easy to add to your life.

If you don’t know who your upline is or where their education group is, ask the person who helped you get started.

Get a Reference Guide

I gift the Essential Oils Reference Guide app to each person who gets their kit because it makes life so simple!

Look up what your new oils can do.

Find what oils you need for a certain issue.

I love how empowering this app is for all new oilers!

Just Use Them!

Put them on.

You won’t do it wrong.

I promise.

Diffuse them.

Use three or four drops in the diffuser.

Use them, and then use them some more.

Consistency creates a new habit and a healthy home in this case!

Plan Ahead

Subscribe and Save is one of the best things our family did.

We save much more with the Young Living lifestyle compared to shopping in store, it’s unreal.

So, use posts like this, your reference guide, or an iTovi scanner to create a list of needs in your home.

Ditch-n-Switch

You get SO MUCH MORE than just a few natural remedies!

We ditch the bandaid mentality and switch to a wellness and proactive way of thinking!

Let me just save you lots of time here.

Everything in your house that isn’t Young Living isn’t safe at its core.

How do I know?

Because everyone but Young Living puts one or both of the following in their products:

  • pesticides (they spray their plant material)
  • synthetics (your body is real and doesn’t handle these well)

Go around the house. Create a list of all the products in your home. Seek out the Young Living product that will let you get rid of it for good.

Or, if you’re in my wonderful tribe of oilers, you can use our cheat sheet in our Facebook group !

Final Thoughts

This lifestyle should be simpler and less expensive.

If you aren’t finding this to be true, talk to your upline about diluting (our products are highly concentrated and like buying in bulk), Essential Rewards, and even a DIY here and there.

This is a hugely rewarding lifestyle that comes with a little learning curve, but one that is simple to navigate if you’ve got a great group to learn alongside!

Need a Tribe?

We’d love to have you!

Get started here.

Ask questions to me directly at andrea@gospalchapter.com.

We’ll take you under our wing and help you learn the ropes!

Canker Sore GONE Naturally

Wish you could have a canker sore gone naturally without breaking the bank and all while making your immune system much stronger?

Canker sores are so annoying, aren’t they?

My youngest gets them every time he fights off any sickness, so we have to rely on this when that happens.

In this article, I want to go over three things.

  1. I will let you in on our amazing life hack.
  2. Help you get your own.
  3. Teach you how to use this canker sore hack to prevent and fight other illness, too!

Canker Sore GONE Naturally

We’ve had the best relief from a canker sore naturally with this quick and simple remedy.

It’s saving us a ton with each healing only costing around fifty cents!

The best part is that this remedy is also the exact same bottle we use a drop of every day to prevent viruses and bacterial junk from coming into our home.

Please know this is one of the most important staples for our health.

I believe this should be in every single home–it’s been that good to us these last five + years!

Wish you could have a canker sore gone naturally without breaking the bank and all while making your immune system much stronger?

Simplest Option

We grab a little organic coconut oil (in a glass jar like this one) and put one drop of Thieves in it.

(Note: 300 drops in a 15mL bottle)

This is what we call a “hot” oil, so it needs to be diluted.

The standard rule is around 4 drops carrier (what we’ll call the coconut oil) to one drop essential oil.

Be Consistent!

The same way we don’t exercise once and assume we’re at our goal weight, we don’t put one drop on the sore and expect a miracle.

You may, however, notice it shrinks noticeably.

Don’t stop applying!

We find we need to apply it around four times to get rid of it, but we have also been pesticide and synthetic-free for over five years.

Toxin-free living should be easy. gospalchapter.com has natural remedies, healthy replacement options, and tips for your new lifestyle!

Nutritional Options that ROCK

We get canker sores for a reason, right?

Since we’re all about digging to the root and attacking that rather than just putting a bandaid on the symptom, we add Inner Defense to our wellness arsenal.

This is a capsule with Clove, Thyme, Lemongrass, Eucalyptus Radiata, Rosemary, and Cinnamon Bark oils in it.

These oils are all measured out in such a way that packs the best punch.

We are always successful knocking out the root cause of a canker sore with Inner Defense !

Oral Care

Two other amazing ways we fight back against the canker sores that pop up from time to time is by creating a healthy environment in our mouths.

Thieves Spray and Thieves Mouthwash are two unbelievable strong defenses against canker sores in our home.

Even better?

On my Facebook page we have a fantastic hack to dilute the super concentrated mouthwash and the spray to get them to stretch and work just as well!

Other Uses for Oils Above

I’m super grateful for the only hand-weeded, pesticide-free, synthetic-free, and fragrance-free oils.

Once I learned what that really meant for our family, I’ve been blown away with what a blessing this is.

However, I don’t want to buy Thieves just for canker sores, right?

300 drops goes far.

So, we put one drop in a little honey often.

We’ve used this to fight off any sort of icky germ we feel coming on.

It’s been amazing for scratchy throats.

Even better for cough and prevention.

I cannot tell you what a gift it is to know I can lean so heavily on Thieves when my friend calls to say her kid puked just after my children were playing with hers.

Before Young Living I had no way to prevent, fight, or support a healthy lifestyle!

Final Thoughts

Skip the over-the-counter $18 tiny tube of side effects!

Why waste your money on something like that?

You can only use it for one specific use before it expires.

Even worse, those products only tear down your body with synthetic ingredients.

When on the Young Living site, you can make it work for you.

Choose Subscribe and Save to get 24% off all products.

You’ll never be locked in to anything and can cancel any time!

If you’d like to order monthly, you can get free products and points to spend like cash, too.

This is how our family has become toxin-free and healthier than ever!

Fix Cuts and Scrapes Naturally

How we take care of cuts and scrapes naturally is simpler, safer, and less expensive than any other in store option available.

Fix Cuts and Scrapes Naturally

I thought I had a handle on how to take care of cuts and scrapes.

I had no idea.

Especially when it came to our children’s developing bodies.

Pesticides + Synthetics

Store shelves are full of pesticides and synthetics pretending to be healing ointments, creams, and sprays.

In fact, that’s all that’s available to you.

Why does it matter?

26 seconds.

That’s all it takes to get those nasty cell-changers into your family’s cells.

Hard pass.

That means saying goodbye to anything with a petroleum base, any spray under pressure, and truly anything from the store, no matter how natural the label looks.

What do We Use?

Some of our favorites are Owie, Peace & Calming, Thieves Spray, and LavaDerm.

Note: 5mL bottles have 100 drops; 15mL have 300. You only need one drop at a time. How much would you spend at the store for 300 doses?

Here’s a quick rundown on each:

  • Owie: Prediluted from the KidScents line making this and a box of bandaids a must for this mama.
  • Peace & Calming: First it calms the person who’s hurt. Then it provides great support under a bandage.
  • Thieves Spray: Lets me know I’ve thoroughly cleaned the wound before putting an oil and bandaid on it.
  • Lava Derm Spray: All-around amazingness during cuts and scrapes in this house…oh, and for the fairest skinned of them all (me) whenever I step into the sun (cringe).

How to Get a Discount

Choose Subscribe and Save when you check out.

You are never locked into anything. You can cancel any time.

If you choose to use this option to go toxin-free, you’ll get points to spend like cash and other free items each month.

Just do what you need for your family.

This is the number one, best health decision our family has ever made.

You’ll never be alone in figuring it out, and you’ll always be glad you made the switch.

How to Switch to Safe Products

With everyone trying to switch to safe products, who can you trust, who should you stay away from, and how much should you be spending?

How to Switch to Safe Products

It can be daunting when you decide to switch to safe products.

With all but one company out there greenwashing, it can be very confusing with such tricky marketing.

This was us.

We bought every clean, fresh, free, organic, toxin-free product on the shelves when our boys were born.

Years later, I learned how to find out what was really in our products, and whose products were worth our money.

Who Can You Trust?

It was a painful journey learning who we could trust and who we couldn’t.

Long and uncomfortable story short: Young Living is who we can trust.

Yep. That’s it.

How do I know for sure this is the only one?

Because no one else is refusing to spray their plants with pesticides.

26 seconds.

That’s all it takes to have anything you put on your skin to penetrate down into your cells.

When I’m putting something on or in my family’s bodies, you couldn’t pay me to use anything but Young Living.

Our lives are too precious.

How Much Should This Cost?

This switch should cost less than buying at the store.

Most of the over 600 lifestyle products are highly concentrated.

For example, I use one drop of Peppermint every fifteen minutes to bring down a fever.

Within the hour, it’s down.

That was four drops out of my 300 drops in a 15mL bottle.

You aren’t finding value like that at the store!

Another quick example, our Thieves Household Cleaner is one container costing around $22, but you get 29 spray bottles out of it, and it cleans quite literally every single thing in your home.

Whatever isn’t concentrated I’ll buy using my Essential Rewards points.

Essential Rewards is Young Living’s loyalty program that helps you keep your shopping quick, simple, and less expensive.

For example, I get makeup and supplements with “ER” points I earned from getting oils, personal care products, pet care, kid care, baby care, etc. from my Essential Rewards order.

They even have a shipping program that you can take advantage of like Amazon Prime, so you save a ton on shipping, too!

It’s super helpful!

Get Started

I’m nearly four years in, and I’ve never looked back.

Our family has a wellness arsenal we now pull from to proactively take care of our health.

It is an empowered lifestyle where we know what we need through the use of our Essential Oils Reference Guide, we’re never alone in our education group online, and we’re always able to life to its fullest!

With everyone trying to switch to safe products, who can you trust, who should you stay away from, and how much should you be spending?
