Cost will be $22/person to help cover cost of supplies & ingredients.
We'll have extra empty rollerballs and carrier oil on hand as well, if you'd like to bring your oils, we can help you make some rollerballs.
While it's easy to remember to take your daily supplements, it's also easy NOT to. How do you remember?
~ HABIT STACKING ~
→ Take something you do EVERY day (such as make coffee, wash your face, go to bed), and ADD your good habit to that established daily habit.
~ For example, every morning while my coffee brews, I take my supplements, my Ninxia shot, and load my diffuser ~
→ TIP: “Load” your diffuser the night before, so it's ready to go right away in the morning. ☀️
→ TIP: Put your supplements or roll ons in plain view of where that habit occurs. My night time roll ons are on my nightstand, my supplements are next to my coffee. The NingXia is right next to my coffee creamer in the fridge. My face oils are in my bathroom, so they're easy to grab when moisturizing my face.
Here we go AGAIN??? Rather than focussing on what we can't control, let's choose to focus on what we CAN!

Super C – Easy Immune Boost
FEELING STRESSED?
TROUBLE LOSING WEIGHT?
→ Constant stress = constant cortisol, and over time that has some nasty side effects:
💠 Cortisol increases your appetite for fattening foods.
💠 It interferes with sleep, which has a domino effect in fat gain (throws hunger hormones out of whack, interferes with proper metabolism, and lowers energy and motivation to stay active). It spikes insulin levels, which shuts down your ability to burn fat.
💠 Studies show that vitamin C essentially “inhibits the secretion of cortisol.” In one study at the University of Alabama, just 200mg of Vitamin C per day stopped cortisol levels from going up … Even under extreme stress!
💠 Animals that didn’t get vitamin C had 3 TIMES the cortisol levels. The inverse is also true - even slight vitamin C deficiencies increase cortisol secretion under stress.
💠 Super C Tablet is 1.3 g (1300 mg) per serving, Super C Chewable is 150 mg per serving. The tablet has nearly 9x more Vitamin C!
💠 Our bodies are NOT able to produce vitamin C on our own.
💠 The recommended daily amount of Vitamin C is between 75-90 mg. Some people who are wanting to give their immune system an extra boost, or if they feel they've fallen below the Wellness Line, take quite a bit more. (Your bowels will let you know when you’ve had too much. 💩 )
Heat up 8 oz of water. Mix in 1 tsp raw honey, 1 drop Thieves Vitality, 1 drop Lemon vitality, Great to sip on these colder evenings to support your immune system and soothe your throat. Optional: add 1 drop Copaiba Vitality (for inflammation) or 1 drop Peppermint Vitality.
OREGANO
Take a second & look up “Benefits of Oregano Oil Research” 😯
→ It's is an immune boosting POWERHOUSE, & at just $12.50 for a Vitality bottle, it is a STEAL! A few drops go a LONG way, so that little bottle will last a long time!
→ (Did you Google it yet?) If so, now you can see why it's a key ingredient in most Immune Roller blends, as well as Young Living's Inner Defense Supplement, Immupower, Master Formula, Cool Azul Gel, Cool Azul oil, Raindrop Collection, & Orthosport Massage Oil
ELDERBERRY BENEFITS
Why Elderberry Syrup?
Even if you don’t love a good scientific study, searching PubMed about Elderberries vs Cold & Influenza is pretty eye opening!
One Study (last link below) revealed that elderberry phytochemicals stimulated infected cells to release cytokines, a class of chemical messengers the immune system uses for communication between different cell types to aid in coordinating a more efficient response against the invading pathogen.
These studies are just a handful of reasons to make some Elderberry Syrup!! (Or attend our Elderberry Make & Take class on the 19th – RSVP here)
⭕ In a RECENT STUDY on a virus, “Researchers are seeking ways in which to potentially protect people . . . or to alleviate its effects once caught. One such means is Zinc therapy . . . Zinc is well tolerated and it is best known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory [something that affects immune function], and antiviral activities, the latter possibly mediated by its ability to inhibit RNA virus, thus protecting the body’s cells and tissues from viral infection, oxidative damage, and dysfunction. Based on the current knowledge, it can be safely concluded that risk to reward ratio is in favor of Zinc supplementation. . . . "
⭕ Zinc plays many crucial roles in our bodies, which don’t naturally produce zinc, so we must obtain it through food or supplements. Zinc is necessary for the activity of over 300 enzymes that aid in metabolism, digestion, nerve function and other processes. It’s also critical for the development and function of immune cells.
⭕ Zinc is fundamental for skin health, healthy cell metabolism, strong immune function, and wound healing. Our senses of taste and smell depends on zinc (a zinc deficiency can reduce our ability to taste or smell).
⭕ Zinc supplements stimulate particular immune cells, help decrease oxidative stress and reduce levels of inflammatory proteins in your body. They also significantly reduce the risk of infections and promote immune response. (All this info and more can be found HERE).

Inflammation & Your Immune System
“Individuals with low-grade chronic inflammation present a dysregulated innate immune system, resulting in an increased risk of infection." (Resource)
“When healthy people are sleep deprived, they have more inflammation.” (Resource)
Look into an anti-inflammatory diet (reducing sugar, carbs, & dairy)

Got Inflammation? We've got you covered!
Member Testimonies for Inflammation: “Clove & Copaiba really make a difference to my inflamed knees after hiking. Apply 2-3x a day when needed.” ~ Lisa G.
"Copaiba, RC and Wintergeen NEAT have done wonders for my inflammed knees!" ~ Aimee H.
“Agilease helped with my inflammation, but I took 3 or 4 a day, 2 bottles worth. Good news is that now I only take them when I need them, which isnt often.” ~Deanna H.
"For joints in general, both Agilease and Sulfuzyme have been very helpful for me. I take 2 Agilease and 2 Sulfurzyme in the morning, and another 2 Sulfurzyme mid afternoon." ~ Jenn J.
“BLM and Deep Relief reduced my husband's pain until he had total knee replacement. During recovery from his surgery, we continued the BLM and I mixed up some oils to put on incision. Doctors didn’t want us to put anything on it except Saline water. I obeyed for a while and then put the blend on half of the incision. (I know it had Helichrysum in it). When I showed him the difference between the oil half and the saline half, he told me to put oils on the other half also.” ~ Leigh C.
“Agilease fixed my inflammation. I took 3 each day for 2 bottles and now I keep it around and take 3 if I feel it start to ache at all.” ~ Deanna H.
“I got into oils to try to avoid knee surgery. Torn meniscus, bad arthritis & cysts behind the knee. Started with Panaway, then started layering Copaiba followed by Peppermint. After a month, I started using Agilease and a few months later NingXia and Sulfurzyme. Four years later, and no surgery is on the horizon. I don't even use the oils on my knee regularly. But I made Agilease, NR and Sulfurzyme part of my morning routine.” ~ Anna G.
For People Who like to Breathe

SUPPLEMENT SPOTLIGHT – SUPER D
Why Does Super D Matter?
Vitamin D plays a key role in Hormone Balance
Vitamin D enhances Calcium absorption
Especially important for women as we age
Vitamin D improves our immune health
Vitamin D plays an important role in reducing the occurrence of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), depression, & other mood disorders
Vitamin D deficiency is linked to issues with proper thyroid function, epilepsy disorders, &
anxiety
.
What are signs of a Vitamin D Deficiency?
✔️ Fatigue
✔️ Chronic pain/weakness (in muscles or bones)
✔️ Depression/low mood
✔️ Compromised Immune system -- get sick oftenHair loss
What contributes to Vitamin D Deficiency?
✔️ Being overweight (& ironically, weight loss surgeries)
✔️ Certain medications such as anti-seizure medications, steroids, cholesterol lowering drugs, laxatives, tuberculosis drug, weight loss drug
✔️ Dark Skin (absorbs less Vitamin D from sun)
✔️ Health conditions such as Lupus, Cystic Fibrosis, Multiple Sclerosis, Crohn's Disease, Celiac Disease, kidney & liver disease
What makes Super D different?
✔ Each small dissolvable tablet contains 50mcg (equivalent to 2000iu) of Vit. D3 (suggested dose is 2 tablets, you may need to take more/less)
✔Most Vitamin D is from D2, which is cheaper to produce, but Vitamin D3 is more effective at improving Vitamin D status
✔The Vitamin D is derived from lichen (not lanel)
✔ Free from fish, shellfish, nuts, egg, gluten
✔ Because it's dissolveable, it bypasses first pass metabolism, which allows your body to absorb more of the vitamin.
Ditch & Switch: Cough Drops
Thieves Cough Drops are FREE FROM: sugar, dyes, artificial flavors, and preservatives!
They offer triple soothing action that relieves coughs, soothes sore throats and cools nasal passages.
Thieves Chest Rub is also FREE of all the icky stuff! The MAXIMUM STRENGTH Essential Oil-Infused Chest Rub is a Cough Suppressant and Topical Analgesic Ointment. I've also discovered it is AMAZING for sinus pressure when applied to the bridge of your nose.

Love FALL? Transform your favorite diffuser Blend into a custom Fall Perfume!

• 1/2 oz Thieves Mouth Wash • 8 drops each of Thieves Vitality, & Copaiba Vitality
• 3 drops each Peppermint Vitality & Lemon Vitality

Epsom Baths: More than Self Care
🛀 Detox baths help remove toxins from the body by stimulating the production of digestive enzymes and juices, which pushes these toxins right out of your body. They also have a highly calming effect, so are perfect before bedtime. Epsom salts are also known to help relieve constipation. 💩
The combinationof Epsom Salt, Baking Soda and Essential oils draws out toxins, lowers stress-related hormones, and balances your PH levels.
→ TIP: Mix your essential oils in with the epsom salt prior to adding them to your bath. That way, the oils won't sit on top of the water.
→ TIP: If your muscles could use some extra love, you can add in muscle-loving oils like Panaway, Copaiba, or Peppermint.
→ Could your Respiratory System use some love? Try Raven or RC in your Epsom Salts – the Eucalyptus plus the warm steam will soothe your lungs, and your bathroom will smell like a spa!
