There are a lot of things that can contribute to stress for teachers: Lesson planning, grading papers, test scores, students who are below their grade level, hyper kids bouncing off the walls and probably the worst cause of stress is those students who are disrespectful, misbehaving and totally disrupting the class. You are trying to help those students who want to learn and some days it is a real struggle to keep things under control when you have to keep to a schedule and cover the material the children need to learn.
Essential Oils for Teachers Immune System Support
Then there is the struggle trying not to catch anything from those students who are coughing and sneezing all over the place?

Even though you may not be able to diffuse essential oils in the classroom, there are lots of ways you can use essential oils to help deal with the daily stress that teachers have:
Days when the kids really getting on your last nerve.
Motivation on days you feel like you just want to crawl back under the covers in the morning.
Mood uplift when you would rather go back on summer vacation.
Support your own healthy immune system so you don’t have as many missed days.
Keeping the classroom clean can also help keep the children healthier through the school year.
And much more.

Young Living has a complete line products infused with the Thieves essential oil blend! Thieves essential oil blend was inspired by the legend of four 15th-century French thieves who formulated a special aromatic combination composed of clove, rosemary, and other botanicals used while robbing the dead and dying.

Thieves Essential Oil Blend is an absolute MUST for teachers because it contains oils that defend and protect. It is highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health.

Thieves Household Cleaner is an all-purpose, concentrated cleaning solution that contains all-natural plant-based ingredients formulated to distribute the power of essential oils in your home and classroom while cleaning virtually any surface. Dilution ratios are on the bottle.

Thieves Spray is ideal for use on doors, handles, desks and any other surface that needs cleansing to protect from undesirable microorganisms. This small bottle is perfect for keeping in a purse, drawer or backpack.

Thieves Cough Drops – The power of Thieves and menthol in a cough drop! The triple-action formula of Thieves Cough Drops offers comfort by relieving coughs, soothing sore throats, and cooling nasal passages, without processed sugar, dyes, artificial flavors, or preservatives.

There is a whole line of Thieves Products that help teachers defend against whatever is going around. Let’s face it, when you are rubbing elbows with a room full of kids every day, you need a little support for a healthy immune system.

Here are a few other essential oils that can be really helpful for teachers:

Essential Oils for Teachers
Stress Away Roll-On – The name says it all. Teaching can be stressful at times, Young Living’s Stress Away is a good oil to apply to reduce any teaching stress, especially good for those days when the kids are bouncing off the walls. This unique blend of vanilla, lime, copaiba, and other premium grade essential oils relieves daily stress, encourages relaxation, and reduces nervous tension. This oil can be used in the morning before heading off to school or after school to unwind from a stressful day. Apply generously to wrists, temples, neck, or any desired area as needed.

Peace & Calming is another wonderful blend for those times you need to unwind and relax. It promotes relaxation and a deep sense of peace, helping to calm tensions and uplift spirits. When massaged on the bottoms of the feet, it can be a wonderful prelude to a peaceful night’s rest. A good night’s sleep is important for both teachers and kids in school.

Clarity Essential Oil promotes a clear mind and alertness. I love to drop a few drops of Clarity right on top of my head, then put a couple drops in my hands and deeply inhale when I am working on things like writing articles. The rosemary and peppermint found in this blend have been used for years for mental activity and vitality. Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati discovered in a research study that inhaling peppermint oil increased the mental accuracy of the students he tested by 28 percent.

Joy Essential Oil – This oil is very mood uplifting. You may want to use a little Joy oil if you are dealing with children who are feeling bummed out because the summer is over and they have to get back into the grind of the school schedule. Or if you are feeling that way yourself. 😉


Teachers have one of the hardest, most important jobs in the world. Every day, every year, you are molding and shaping 20 young people who have very different personalities and temperaments. This is a challenge with 2 or 3 children but a whole group can be exhausting. Then, dealing with parents who think their child can do no wrong. It’s a long day working with all the children and all of the responsibilities that go with it, then, once the school day is over, you spend even more time at home grading papers and other work planning for the next lessons.

All of this while trying to keep Healthy and feeling stress free.

That’s why I love using essential oils! They are wonderful for those days when things are getting on your last nerve. Essential Oils are amazing for helping teachers deal with all the crazy as well as the joy that comes with the classroom.

You don’t need to wait until retirement to feel rested and joyful. You can take care of your health and your mind now – simply, and affordably. As a teacher in these high stress times, it is really important to practice self care that helps you rest and recharge for the next day.

†Seed to Seal Premium Standard oils from Young Living Essential Oils.


What makes Nature’s Ultra CBD different?

1. Seed to Seal Standards
2. Smart Spectrum

CBD companies are popping up all over the world. Unfortunately, most of them do not really understand the plant, the oil, or the law and the consumer is ending up with products that may not work, may not be good for them, or may be illegal. What that means is that products are cropping up that are riddled with impurities, toxins, CBD dosage different than what the products is labeled, illegal levels of THC, synthetic CBD molecules, some of which are considered drugs with more hallucinogenic power than plant-based THC, again illegal to sell without a prescription.

1. Quality starts at the source. Nature’s Ultra CBD is grown high in the mountains of Colorado. High altitude farming comes with fewer pests, naturally, which allows CBD to be grown without toxic pesticides.

2. Nature’s Ultra has one of the first hemp farms in the United States to hold both a USDA organic certification and USDA organic handler’s certification. All products are tested in multiple stages throughout the manufacturing process for potency and purity.

3. No heavy metals. All products have been subjected to rigorous laboratory testing to ensure that it contains the optimal amount of CBD and is free of heavy metals.

4. No solvents. Harsh chemicals are never used in the manufacturing process thanks to the proprietary CO2 extraction methods.

5. The QR code on bottle will lead you to the lab test results. You can share and leverage these amazing results with anyone interested in using these products!

6. Quality extraction process. The green-friendly CO2 extraction process produces the purest CBD at 99% or higher. Nature’s Ultra also certify all of their products for zero THC (0.00%).

7. All ingredients are natural, organic, vegan approved.

You buy essential oils from Young Living because we are experts in farming, distilling, and testing and you want the same expertise when you harvest and extract your CBD oil. Nature’s Ultra products offer CBD with 0% THC, all paired with powerful Young Living essential oils.



Smart Spectrum™:
Nature’s Ultra products are premium, potent, Seed to Seal certified, and unlike any other brand on the market, offer the benefits of Smart Spectrum™ CBD science. Because there are little to no CBD regulations and with the whole hemp plant you don’t know what you are getting, we created our own Smart Spectrum™ products. This provides the best way to control purity and efficacy.

We take Seed to Seal Certified CBD isolate which is the best way to ensure there is no THC and control purity. You’ve probably heard a lot of talk about isolates versus full-spectrum oils. The term “full spectrum” is poorly defined and it currently means there are other compounds in the plant or “everything” in the plant is in the oil. We know, however, that full spectrum may contain other ingredients that you don’t want like THC, contaminants, or toxins. For these reasons, we have chosen to work with the premium CBD isolate.

We then add Young Living’s premium grade essential oils to the CBD isolate. We are able to use our leading knowledge of terpene chemistry to formulate specific combinations of CBD and natural terpenes to selectively broaden and round out the natural spectrum of Nature’s Ultra Products. The terpenes found in essential oils can increase the overall efficacy of a product and the terpene profile of hemp oil is miniscule compared to those of essential oils.

Anytime you use Nature’s Ultra products, or give them to your pet, you can rest easy knowing that you are getting potent, clean, natural products, uniquely blended to work with your body in the smartest way.

A Few Frequently Asked Questions About CBD



What is CBD?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a cannabinoid—a plant-based compound derived from the hemp plant.

Do Nature’s Ultra products contain THC?
No, Nature’s Ultra products are formulated with a CBD isolate, which by definition contains no THC.

Is Nature’s Ultra CBD oil broad spectrum or full spectrum?
Nature’s Ultra uses a combination of CBD isolate and the terpenes in essential oils to produce a broad-spectrum CBD oil without THC.


What is the difference between full-spectrum and isolate CBD oils?
There is significant discussion about isolates versus full-spectrum CBD oils, which contain other compounds in the plant. Full-spectrum products include both CBD and THC. The best way to ensure that there is no THC present and to control purity is to use CBD isolate. However, the terpenes found in essential oils can increase the overall spectrum of a product. By adding Young Living essential oils to Nature’s Ultra CBD products, the product is no longer truly an isolate but a broad-spectrum CBD product. This provides the best way to control purity and efficacy.



Are Nature’s Ultra products labeled as Seed to Seal®?
Nature’s Ultra products infused with Young Living essential oils will have the Young Living logo and Seed to Seal logo on the packaging. Young Living has performed extensive audits on their production processes, from farming to manufacturing, to ensure that they meet the same rigorous standards in place for our Seed to Seal suppliers.

summer-travel-essential-oils200x150What oils do you like to keep on hand for the summer months? Essential oils are amazing in all seasons but I find them especially useful when traveling. I have lots of oils in my summer survival kit but here are a few of my top favorites.


Lavender – Diffuse for a comforting and calming scent. Unwind by adding a few drops to a nighttime bath. Diffuse for a fresh, clean scent and to eliminate odors.

LavaDerm After-Sun Spray
This naturally derived after-sun spray offers temporary relief from the pain and itching of minor burns, minor cuts, sunburns, scrapes, insect bites, and minor skin irritations, so your family can keep playing all day.

Using menthol from mint, this spray soothes and cools the skin. Plus, its moisturizing qualities—from ingredients such as aloe, Lavender essential oil, and Helichrysum essential oil, also, help prevent peeling from sunburn and leave skin feeling soft and smooth instead of tacky or sticky. With a vegan-friendly formula and made without alcohol, synthetic fragrances, or synthetic colorants, LavaDerm After-Sun Spray is ready for the whole family to use at the beach, on a hike, or during any outdoor play time.

Formulated without alcohol, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, animal-derived ingredients, synthetic preservatives, synthetic fragrances, or synthetic colors.


Lavender and Peppermint Foot Soak
2 drops Lavender
2 drops Peppermint
2 drops chamomile
Cool, soothe and relieve your feet after a long day. Add essential oil blend to a large bowl of warm water. Soak your feet for at least 10 minutes. You could layer those oils on the bottom of your feet as an alternative.

Citronella
This is an essential oil that is awesome to have for summer activities to help keep pesky bugs from bothering you during fun summer activities.
Wear Citronella when you are out planting your garden or having summer fun. Using your diffuser on the patio instead of a citronella candle is a healthier way to go. Citronella candles are usually full of harsh petrochemicals and synthetic citronella!

Purification – Apply topically to enjoy the outdoors annoyance free. Add to distilled water in a small spray bottle and use when traveling to freshen the air and eliminate odors.


Thieves – Supports healthy immune function.


Di­Gize – Add to a gel capsule. Add 2 drops DiGize™ and 1 drop Peppermint to water for a stimulating beverage. Use with every meal along with Essentialzyme­s-4. Use as a dietary supplement in water when traveling abroad. Add 2­–3 drops to honey for a tasty snack.


PanAway – Apply topically after exercise or a long day walking.

Insect Repellent
Young Living’s Insect Repellent is clinically tested to repel mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas using only 100 percent naturally derived, plant-based ingredients.


You can use it on your little ones and not worry about the synthetic chemicals used in many traditional repellents. You’ll also love the pleasant, citrusy aroma and smooth, non-greasy, non-sticky application.


Cel-Lite-Magic Massage Oil
Are your legs ready for summer? Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil tones and nourishes the skin with pure vegetable oils, vitamin E, and authentic essential oils. Grapefruit oil improves the appearance of skin texture, while Juniper oil helps cleanse.


Cel-Lite-Magic is so good for the back of those legs. Use it with a cellulite brush or roller you can find on amazon. Or use your FasciaBlaster if you have one.


After a hot shower or bath, gently pat skin it dry and immediately apply Cel-Lite-Magic to both thighs and rub vigorously with a FasciaBlaster or your knuckles and fingertips in a back and forth motion for 5-10 minutes. Apply once a day for up to 2 weeks then rest for one week. Drink at least 80 ounces of water per day during application days or no less than half your body weight in ounces.


Mineral Sunscreen Lotion
Made with ingredients you can feel good about, Young Living’s Mineral Sunscreen Lotion provides protection against UVA and UVB rays without harsh chemical ingredients. Instead, it offers broad-spectrum SPF 10 protection using naturally derived plant- and mineral based ingredients, including non-nano zinc oxide—a physical UV blocker. Formulated to smooth onto skin easily without a white residue, this lightweight, non-greasy lotion lets you get back to enjoying the sunshine.


For those days when you do too much in the garden or play too hard:

Cool Azul Essential Oil Blend includes the light aroma of Dorado Azul and the warm fragrance of Plectranthus Oregano (both Young Living exclusive oils), along with Peppermint, Wintergreen, Sage, Copaiba, Blue Cypress, Elemi, and other oils. Cool Azul is ideal for use before, during, and after physical activities.


Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream provides cooling relief from minor muscle and joint aches, arthritis, strains, bruises, and sprains. Our plant-based formula combines the power of Wintergreen essential oil with our exclusive Cool Azul essential oil blend. With two powerful, synergistic active ingredients, this cream provides pain-relieving benefits in two ways: methyl salicylate found in Wintergreen helps alleviate pain deep in the muscles and joints, and natural menthol found in Peppermint provides a cooling effect.


Cool Azul Sports Gel delivers a cooling sensation to the skin with a unique, plant-based formula that includes pure essential oils. With over 10 ml of Essential Oils, Cool Azul Sports Gel contains an unparalleled amount of essential oils: a full 10 percent of the formula! That means that each 3.4-oz. tube contains enough essential oils to overfill a 10-ml bottle. This amount is significantly higher than similar products on the market, more than 2–3 times as much in some cases.


The formula features 13 distinct essential oils that work together for a power-packed essential oil: Young Living exclusive Dorado Azul, Peppermint, Wintergreen, Sage, Copaiba, Plectranthus Oregano, Tea Tree, Lavender, Blue Cypress, Elemi, Caraway Seed, Vetiver, and German Chamomile. The base ingredient in our Cool Azul Sports Gel formula is aloe vera, while other comparable products use water as their main ingredient. This gives Cool Azul Sports Gel a thicker base, while giving you the smooth, cooling hydration of aloe vera.


Cool Azul Sports Gel conveniently fits in a purse or gym bag, so whether your day is spent at an amusement park or running a marathon, you can easily keep a tube with you.

Peppermint is very stimulating and wonderful for those summer days that are full of busy activities. Inhale it & put a drop or 2 on your big toes. Put a couple drops of peppermint in water and drink it. Always use essential oils in glass containers.

Digestion: Peppermint or DiGize. Put a few drops in an empty capsule and take internally after a heavy meal. Rub 4-6 drops in the palm and rub over stomach and around the navel.

AromaEase or Peppermint for those times when you want to read while riding in the car. Or if you get motion woozy when in a boat or plane. Put a drop of peppermint on your tongue, then on your hand and inhale it.
Another way is to rub several drops of peppermint on the abdomen.

Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils prior to application. They carry the essential oils further into the tissue or help hold the essential oil topically. Carrier oils vary in thickness. Tired and overworked muscles respond best when the essential oils penetrate deep into the tissue. For this application, choose a lighter viscosity carrier oil.

If applying to someone with sensitive skin, use a medium viscosity carrier oil to slow down the rate of absorption.

Safflower
Hazelnut
Grapeseed
Apricot Kernel
Canola
Camellia Seed
Rose Hip

Average Absorption

0 – Won’t clog pores
1 – Very low likelihood of clogging pores
2 – Moderately low

Five Easy Steps to Blending Essential Oils

Decide on the purpose or reason that you’re creating the blend.
Choose the application method – bath, diffusion, compress, massage etc.
If necessary get the supplies you need (like V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex or diffuser etc.)

Select 3 – 5 essential oils that will work together to accomplish your purpose.

Choose the dosage or concentration level of the oils you need – for the method you want.

Carrier Volume 1% EO 2% EO 4% EO
1/2 Ounce (1 TBS) 3 Drops 6 Drops 12 Drops
1 Ounce (2 TBS) 6 Drops 12 Drops 24 Drops

1% is great for kids and the elderly
2% is great for all over body lotion type application
4% is great for concentrated area of massage

Add the oils to your carrier oil or lotion or to your bath (usually 8 – 10 drops) or whatever method you chose – and enjoy!

Other things to remember:

• Only add 1 oil to a “ready made blend”.
• Use only 3 – 5 oils to make your own blend.
• Blend just one drop at a time. One drop can make a big difference.
• Write down what you do – so you avoid making mistakes twice and also so that you can recreate what you like.
• Blend in small quantities so that you don’t have a big batch of something you hate. Once your blend is perfected
you may go ahead and make larger quantities.
• Mix your oils in a glass container.
• Have FUN! Let imagination and your nose guide you.

Every year about this time people start feeling like doing a little spring cleaning. Do you find yourself feeling motivated to freshen things up a bit after a long winter with the house closed up and the furnace or a wood burner running? There is something motivating about the spring. It makes you feel like getting out and doing things. I find myself wanting to give the house a good cleaning.

Most of the cleaning products on the market these days are full of toxic chemicals that are not at all good for your health. I’m sure you are like me, you do NOT want to be poisoning your family every day with the products you are using to clean your home. Health and safety data only exists for 15 percent of all the chemicals out there, even though so many are known to cause asthma or endocrine disruptions.

Essential oils are a better way. They are totally free of harsh chemicals, steam distilled or cold pressed from natural plants. Young Living’s Thieves Product Line is plant based and free of dangerous harsh chemicals.


Young Living Thieves Products


Here are a few DIY recipes using Thieves Products for natural cleaning in your home.

Glass and Mirror Cleaner

1 capful Thieves Household Cleaner
5 drops Citrus Fresh essential oil (or any citrus oils)
1 teaspoon white vinegar
3 cups water

Add all ingredients to a spray bottle and shake well to combine. To use, spray windows and glass surfaces liberally and wipe clean with a lint-free cloth.

Deep Cleaning Scrub

1 capful Thieves Household Cleaner
2–3 tablespoons baking soda
3 drops Young Living Lemon Essential oil
Combine Thieves Household Cleaner and enough baking soda to form a thick paste. Apply mixture with a clean cloth, sponge, or scrubbing brush and scour the surface thoroughly.

Deep Cleaning Scrub – Larger batch

Ingredients:
3 cups Baking Soda
3/4 cup Thieves Household Cleaner

Directions:
1. In a large glass bowl, add your Thieves Household cleaner, vinegar and Lemon essential oil.
2. Then slowly add your baking soda, stirring to combine.
3. Once completely mixed through, transfer to your desired container. I recycled my old honey jar. It fit perfectly. You could even use an old soap dish bottle. (However you may need to add a bit of water to thin it enough to squirt through the top)
4. Use wherever a little more scrubbing action is needed.
Once completely mixed through, transfer to your desired container. You may need to add a bit of water to thin it if you are using a squirt bottle like an old dish soap bottle.
