As we go through times of chaos and complexity, it is best to keep our focus on what matters most: the safety and wellbeing of our family and loved ones. With the entire world currently battling an invisible foe, we need to ensure that our homes are a haven where we can shelter together in safety. Within the comforts of our private spaces, we can build resilience by adopting healthy habits, choices, and mindsets to keep dangers at bay and shield our family from unseen threats as we face the new normal together.
As a recognized world leader in the essential oil industry, Young Living empowers families to take charge of their whole-life wellness by giving them access to 100% pure and natural products during this period when they need it the most. The company’s extensive line of essential oils is a great way to turn our homes into an oasis of freedom where family members can shelter in place with a complete sense of wellbeing.
In the recently concluded #CompleteCare Zoom Workshop, General Manager of Young Living Philippines Franco Silva shares how the company is committed to equipping people to find the freedom of holistic natural wellness.
“Our mission as a company has always been committed to our stewardship of championing nature’s living energy—the use of essential oils—to empower and inspire individuals to live a life of wellness, purpose, and abundance. We’re here not only to empower our community of members but also to empower every Filipino home to have access to 100% natural, pure and safe products that they can use to protect and nurture their family especially during current circumstances where they would need it the most.”
For renowned essential oil advocate and educator Geri Gil, today’s current atmosphere of anxiety and uncertainty is a poignant message for us to prioritize our well-being.
“We need to start taking better care of our body by making mindful choices to eat healthier and to switch to natural products such as essential oils,” she says.
Geri shares practical recommendations on the combinations that work best to get the best uplifting benefits for your family.
USE A DIFFUSER
Inhalation by diffusion is one of the safest and most effective ways to reap the benefits of essential oils. Scents have the power to shape our emotions and how we perceive the environment we move in.
“Young Living’s Dewdrop Diffuser atomizes any mixture of essential oils and water into a microfine mist of microparticles into the air. In my experience, the aroma lingers in the air for several hours,” Geri shares, “For boosting my daily energy and focus, I like to use a blend of Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint oils in the diffuser. It cleans stagnant air and promotes mental clarity.”
DIY WELLNESS ROLLER
Another way to use essential oils is to apply them to specific points of the body. For this, Geri recommends whipping up a wellness roller with Young Living’s Thieves, Oregano, and Lemon Essential Oils with the V6 Carrier.
According to Geri, these scents give your family a daily sense of security and empowerment. These are also best applied to the soles of the feet and up the spine for added protection.
COOLING MIST
To beat the summer’s heat, Geri shares a cooling spritz that instantly freshens up stagnant and sticky feelings. According to Geri, Lavender essential oil is useful for soothing and restoring balance. It also blends well with Peppermint, giving you a complex menthol coolness coupled with a subtle, invigorating sweetness.
NATURAL CHEST SERUM
In order to ensure that our body functions well, we need to make sure we’re breathing properly and getting plenty of oxygen.
“Breathing fuels the body with much-needed oxygen which is essential for it to function properly. Many of our body’s cellular and metabolic functions rely on a steady supply of oxygen,” says Geri.
Slow and mindful breathing has also been proven to regulate heart rates and clears foggy minds.
For a natural way to free up the flow of oxygen into our bodies, she showed workshop guests how to make a chest serum using Young Living’s Peppermint and R.C. Essential Oils.
NATURAL FOAMING HAND SOAP
Since hand-washing is one of the most effective ways to keeping healthy this season, Geri introduced a simple way to make a foaming hand soap using a blend of Young Living’s Thieves and Lemon essential oils.
Thieves is an oil made of clove, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus radiata, rosemary, and lemon. Combining it with Lemon creates a natural aroma great for everyday use.
