Clove Oil Post by Zoe Austin

Clove (Syzygium aromaticum)

Perfect for adding flavor to both your sweet and savory dishes for the holidays, Clove Vitality oil includes the naturally occurring constituent eugenol and is beloved for its use as a dietary supplement.

Clove is an important ingredient in Young Living’s Thieves oil blend, and has a scent that is very warm and inviting. Clove is the perfect scent for fall and winter – it reminds me of Thanksgiving, Mulled cider, crisp nights, and Christmas. It comes from the flower buds of the evergreen tree and the buds resemble small nails or tacks. Always dilute Clove when using topically.

How to use: For aromatic or topical use. Diffuse, inhale, or add to bath water. Apply to crown of head, back of neck, behind ears or inside wrists. Possible skin sensitivity.
Enjoy this festive fall scent in your own sugar scrub by combining 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 3/4 cup sugar and your favorite oils. Combine Clove with complimentary oils such as Cinnamon, Orange, or Ginger.

Add a single drop to your toothbrush when brushing your teeth to promote fresh, clean breath!

Clove is a warming oil and is therefore a great oil to use for a warming massage.

Diffuse Clove any time of year to enjoy it’s spicy scent. Try diffusing it with Frankincense and orange.

Add clove to a spritzer bottle with water and alcohol and use it to spritz up your potpourri. Feeling adventurous? Make your own potpourri using dried fruits, dried flower heads or petals, pine cones and wood chips. Combine Clove with Cassia, Vetiver, Orange, Cinnamon, Ginger and spritz on potpourri as needed for a wonderfully fall scent. This makes a GREAT Christmas gift❤️

Oregano Vitality
Oregano (Origanum vulgare) Vitality™ is more than just a seasoning—it may also support a healthy lifestyle when taken as a dietary supplement.* Oregano Vitality essential oil is a key ingredient in ImmuPower™ essential oil blend and is included in the Raindrop Technique® essential oil collection.
Oregano Vitality essential oil is an easy way to flavor savory dishes. Its distinctive, pungent taste makes it an indispensable addition to Mediterranean and Mexican cuisines, though it can be used in a variety of cuisines and recipes.

While its spice makes it a delicious addition to dishes when used sparingly, when taking it as a supplement, be sure to use a carrier oil such as V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex or olive oil to dilute this powerful oil.

Oregano Vitality Essential Oil Uses:
1. Dilute with a carrier oil such as V-6 or olive oil in a 1:2 ratio and add to a vegetarian gel capsule before ingesting. Take every day to support a healthy lifestyle.*
2. Add sparingly to various dishes for extra flavoring, particularly Mexican and Mediterranean dishes.
3. Use in a blend such as ImmuPower to support your optimal wellness.*

I love using my Oregano vitality oil and making what I call healthy pills daily. I put olive oil, 2 drops of Oregano Vitality oil, Thieves Vitality oil, and Lemon Vitality oil. This helps me keep healthy and I haven't had the cold or flu in the last several years.

Post 3 Practical tips To Stay Healthy

Staying healthy doesn’t have to be complicated. These simple, practical tips can keep you feeling your best during the winter season.

Wash your hands

According to the Global Handwashing Organization, “Handwashing reduces the rate of respiratory infections by removing respiratory pathogens from hands and preventing them from entering the body or passing on to other people.” Respiratory infections are one of the leading causes of death in children under age 5, yet most of these deaths can be prevented by adequate hand washing. Evidence suggests that washing hands with soap after using the restroom can cut respiratory infections by up to 25%. Proper hand washing not only protects against respiratory infection, but can also protect against cold and flu by removing common viruses that are spread from coughs and sneezes. (1,2)

Young Living has multiple products to help keep your hands clean. Thieves Foaming hand soap is a plant-based formula that leaves your skin feeling clean, but not over-dried. Infused with essential oils like Lemon and Cinnamon Bark, this soap is gentle and is not filled with harsh chemicals like Triclosan. Thieves Hand Sanitizer is perfect when you are on the go and kills 99.9% of germs using a powerful plant-based formula and no harsh chemicals!

Sleep

When your body is running off little sleep, it makes fewer proteins that help fight infection and inflammation, these proteins are known as cytokines. Cytokines are made and released during sleep. This is why sleep is so important when you are feeling under the weather and trying to stay healthy. Sleep is a restorative act our bodies need to stay healthy and optimally functioning. (3)

Diffusing essential oils is a great way create an environment conducive to sleep and relaxation. Lavender, Peace and Calming, and Cedarwood all have relaxing aromas you can diffuse or apply to calm your mind and body before bedtime.

Stress Less

When we’re stressed, the immune system’s ability to fight off bacteria and viruses is reduced because stress hormones lower the number of white blood cells, which fight off foreign bodies. You may notice that everyone seems to get sick around finals week, this is because stress has a huge impact on your immune system! Make sure to take time for self-care and relaxation so you can fill your cup and stay healthy. Essential oils like Stress Away, Copaiba, Joy, and Northern Lights Black Spruce have aromas that can help you relax and unwind during stressful and hectic times.

Good Nutrition

Cut the sugar! Increased sugar suppresses your immune system. When you eat high amounts of sugar, your immune system’s ability to respond to challenges decreases and the effects last for several hours. So, if you eat sweets several times a day, your immune system may be continually disadvantaged. Focus on eating whole foods that are full of vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, E, and B to help your body protect itself!

Supplements

Optimal nutrition should ideally come from your diet, but sometimes we need to fill nutritional gaps or give our bodies extra support on top of the nutrients from our diet. Supplementing with extra Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc can give you the extra boost you may need! Try Supplements like Super C, Master Formula, and Immupro. We will talk more about these products and many others in the following posts.
