October Freebies for Immune Support with Essential Oils

Liz James · October 1, 2025 ·

Happy October friends! The last (and usually busiest) season of the year is upon us. In addition to weather changes, festivities, extra ‘peopling’ time, and sweet treats vying for your attention at every turn hopefully also brings an added awareness for immune support.

The freebies this month are on point for helping avoid (or mediate if needed) some of the less fun things that come with the last season of the year!

100PV loyalty order

15ml Eucalyptus Globulus essential oil

Retail value: $21.71

YL tip: Dilute with carrier oil and apply to the upper back, chest, or under the nose for a lung and sinus opening (and relaxing) experience (or add a few drops to a hot bath!)

200PV one-time and loyalty order

15ml Season Essentials essential oil blend

Total Retail value: $77.63

YL tip: Take a couple drops in a veggie capsule or with a teaspoon of honey to support a healthy respiratory system. (Also effective in a diffuser…. such a great value… so many of us have been making a similar blend ourselves…. the infamous LLPC …. but this premade blend is ready for on the go, no DIY necessary!)

300PV one-time and loyalty order

Super C tablets

Total Retail value: $121.38

YL tip: Take 2 tablets daily to support a healthy immune system with a big dose of vitamin C, plus zinc, manganese, and citrus essential oils. PS….. did you know that most Vitamin C (aka ascorbic acid) that is found in supplements is made from GMO’d corn mold ? NOT Super C (no corn starch used … so important for those who try to stay away from GMO’d products or corn in general. )

Have a great day!! xoxo~ liz

🍂 Autumn Wellness Tips: Essential Oil Blends & Immune Support for Fall

Liz James · September 1, 2025 ·

Before there was social media and Starbucks, what senses and memories clued you in that

Autumn was almost here?

For me, it was watching the leaves start to change, seeing wispy corn stalk leaves blow in from nearby farms, seeing pumpkins almost ripe on the vine, and of course (at the pharmacy) a full on uptick in people coming in with prescriptions for “the annual Fall crud”.

I’m so thankful for these Freebies this month! September also heralds football season and like football

…… the best defense is also a great offense!

Fire up that diffuser and enjoy your own “punkin spice” blend that is your FALL “scent with benefits” (Back to basics pro tip: Healthy alternatives are keeping toxins out of your home …. and out of your body, AND these also help create an inhospitable environment for “the crud” to thrive, unlike the synthetic stuff which tears the immune system down. Win win! )

3 drops clove
3 drops cinnamon bark
2 drops nutmeg
1 drop ginger
1-2 drops orange

4 drops cardamom
3 drops orange
2 drops cinnamon bark
2 drops clove

Now, about those Immugummies!

Have you tried them before? I use them as a healthy sweet “snack” alternative when I want to pop something sweet in my mouth. These tickle the tastebuds and offer the benefit of elderberries and 1,3 beta-glucans ( a super important component harvested from a type of algae that has been shown to improve immune system response, esp when it comes to upper respiratory tract health). What an easy way to support the immune system!

Nobody’s got time for “the crud”, especially as we glide into the busiest time of the year! Use your tools

so you can cross your finish line strong!

Beat August Stress: Essential Oils for Brain Health & Mental Clarity

Liz James · August 1, 2025 ·

I cannot even believe we are already talking about August! Is your 2025 going as fast as mine is?

Yes, August is back to school month, but it’s also a great time to take a breath for a moment and plan for how to manage the last 1/3 of the year……because if the first 2/3rds of 2025 was a blur, chances are high things are only going to accelerate August thru Dec. That’s where brain health comes in!

Stress on the brain is highly inflammatory no matter your age, and it’s to everyone’s benefit to navigate stress in a healthy manner with healthy tools. Thankfully, our friends at YL know this too

, and give us tools…. and this month, 3 of them are free (with qualifying purchase).

100 PV Loyalty Order

15ml Tangerine essential oil

Retail value: $24.67

YL science

tip: oils high in d-limonene (such as tangerine) may modulate serotonin and dopamine signaling and also appear to support healthy cortisol levels…. the result? helping calm overactive minds, relieving nervous tension, and uplifting mood.

200 PV Order

5ml Vetiver essential oil

Retail value: $31.25

YL science

tip: vetiver is one of the most studied essential oils for its effects on those people who suffer from chronic “squirrel”

brain. It can be so helpful in oil blends to help reduce overthinking and constant mental chatter, overwhelm, and “hyper brain”.

300 PV Order

Green Omega 3 softgels

Retail value: $89.47

YL science

tip: Omega 3’s have been proven to protect neurons from oxidative stress and cell death (none of us need dead or dying brain cells

). Omega 3’s are power packed for other areas of the body too… it’s not just for neurons.

If your world appears to be spinning faster and faster in 2025, take some time for self care friends. Do the things. We have access to some pretty amazing tools (you can also learn more about de-stressing in healthy ways in my book, Becoming Your Own Health Detective, Volume II… available on Amazon or now at Seeds of Thyme).

xoxo~ liz

PS: Have you used vetiver before? I’m so curious about how/ where you use it. If you have a blend/concoction you’ve had success with, please do consider sharing here with everyone. Together we protect and heal!

Young Living Brings Essentials for Our July Free Gifts

Liz James · July 1, 2025 ·

July’s gifts with purchase are more than summer perks. They’re a celebration of our roots and history.

I’m curious….. how many of you have been saved from seasonal sniffles because you are deeply familiar with our LLPC winning combo?

( If I just spoke an acronym foreign to you…. welcome to our community education page….. your oil and health vocabulary and skillset is about to expand in beautiful ways!….. the ways of our ancestors. )

I wonder how often our country’s

forefathers and foremothers reached for peppermint

and lemon

to aid in their health??

Both were a health kit staple even before Paul Revere rode his midnight ride

, tho lemons were often hard to come by and dear in price in many parts of the world!)

One thing our ancestors didn’t have to worry much with was Magnesium deficiency…. the soil was rich with it and not tainted by fertilizer that bound up magnesium making it unusable by plants (as has been the case since the 1970’s). Nowadays, unless someone is supplementing, it’s estimated that roughly 85% of the population is magnesium deficient. And when you know that magnesium is used about 600 different ways in the body for everything from enzymatic activity to cardiac and gut function to muscle and immune system support to bone health…. well, as you might imagine, a deficiency can be problematic. If you aren’t already using magnesium in your daily supplement regimen…. the freebie supplement this month may just help you with some “not so normal” things going on in your body that you thought were “normal”. (Normal ain’t always normal

Here’s everything you can earn this month:

100 PV loyalty order

Lemon essential oil, 15 ml

Retail value: $17.11

YL tip: Skip synthetic sprays! Add a few drops of Lemon to a spray bottle with witch hazel and water to freshen the air and uplift your space, naturally.

200 PV one-time and loyalty order

Peppermint essential oil, 15 ml

Retail value: $49.68

Pro tip: Dilute and rub Peppermint onto tired muscles post-workout or diffuse it for a crisp, cool pick-me-up on hot summer afternoons (or hot flashes…. which if you have these, we should talk

300 PV one-time and loyalty order

Super Magnesium supplement

Retail value: $93.10

YL tip: Ditch short-term sleep aids. These nature-powered capsules can be taken daily to support restful sleep, healthy energy levels, and over 300 essential functions.

Who is happy to see these three as a way to restock your necessities for free this month?

Happy July friends! How are you celebrating our country

this weekend?

Young Living's free gifts for July, supplements and essential oils

Don’t Miss These June Freebies: Essential Oils and Supplements Worth Stocking Up On

Liz James · June 1, 2025 ·

June.

Are you ready for the summer? What’s on your list to go, do, accomplish, vacay? (Do tell! Let us know in the comments so we can either cheer you on or be excited for the cool places you might be headed to!)

YL is always thinking ahead when they plan our gifts with purchase for the month.

Tea Tree: This might be one of the most well known essential oils (next to Lavender). I mean, even people who don’t know the power of 100% pure essential oils know about Tea Tree! Just a few things it’s good for….. skin care (have you tried it on a zit?

), respiratory health, insect deterrent, wound care…… it is another Swiss Army Knife (like lavender!).

Copaiba: One of my personal all time FAVES, and not because it has a dreamy aroma. It’s actually very mild in odor. You know the phrase, “speak softly, but carry a big stick”? That phrase reminds me of this team player. It is gentle enough for use on a baby, but powerful enough in supporting healthy inflammatory response that you can “handle things at home”. (This is one oil I’ll never have more than a “few” bottles on the shelf of!). It can be used internally or externally. Tell me one of your Copaiba stories (and I’ll tell you one of the dozens I have of my own!). What a hero in a bottle

this one is!

AminoWise: Many people tend to think of branched chain amino acids as “just for gym rats”. True…. BCAA’s are fantastic for post workout recovery and muscle building…… but there are many other life moments where BCAA’s would also benefit the body. A day filled with yardwork

or hiking

. But what if someone has muscle wasting because of an extended illness….. or as a natural part of aging (PS: this is why eating proper amounts of protein as we age is SOOOO important!). AminoWise is for everyone….. not just

! I do love that Young Living has been gifting us supplements recently. This is a beautiful opportunity to try some thing for free…… give it a 30 day test run, if you will…. and see if you don’t notice a difference!

Happy June! ….. and do tell, don’t forget to share your Summer plans

. While I don’t have anything huge planned for June (other than picking blackberries daily for the month in our garden… they are getting close to being ripe, and we’ve got about 250 plants), I’ll be taking this time to prep for some big travel in July!
