Teachers & Essential Oils
The tables have turned and the teacher has now become the student! Put on your learning caps and get ready to have your minds blown as we introduce you to the world of essential oils and the other health and wellness products Young Living has to offer!
This class offers suggestions for personal use as well as suggestions for diffusing and oily use around your classroom with your students. Be sure to check with your school's policy on diffusing and essential oil use while school is in session. It is always a great idea to share Young Living with your students' families. Young Living products can be very effective when used on a regular basis.
Safety & Usage
Let's start off by looking at the ways you can use the oils and supplements in this class.
AROMATICALLY: Put 6-8 drops of an essential oil or a combo in your diffuser. The diffuser will send the oil into the air and fill the room with the scent and beneficial properties of the oils.
TOPICALLY: Apply essential oils to your skin. Dilute your oils with a carrier oil if using topically, especially if you’ve never used them before. It is recommended that you use one drop of essential oil with 10-15 drops of coconut, olive, or almond oil and then apply it to your skin. Citrus oils like Lemon are photosensitive. Please avoid sun exposure for 12 hours after application to areas where you have applied citrus oils topically. Avoid putting essentials oils in the eyes or ears directly.
INTERNALLY: Young Living oils are pure and are labeled as Generally Regarded as Safe by the Food and Drug Administration. Because of their purity, some people like to ingest their oils to avoid "smelling" like an oil, or to support their body from the inside out. Oils that are safe for ingestion carry our Vitality Oil label.
SUPPLEMENTS: Follow the directions on each individual supplement package for proper safety and usage.
Purity is EXTREMELY important when it comes to wellness products. When you use products that are pure, you will have more effective results. Products that are formulated with synthetic ingredients may not provide any results and can potentially cause damage to your body. Young Living goes above and beyond organic standards to provide natural products that work. YL farms on land without the use of pesticides, hand weeds their fields, and tests their essential oils multiple times in million-dollar labs to provide products with the purest and highest quality chemical constituents. If a batch doesn't meet these HIGH standards, YL will not bottle it up and send it to you.

Focus
Check out these 3 oils that will help you focus during difficult times as teacher OR a student...
Vetiver has a grounding and stabilizing effect.
Cedarwood has a calming effect.
Lavender promotes a general sense of well-being and creates a spa-like atmosphere.
FOCUS ROLLER RECIPE

Add each essential oil to a 10 mL bottle and top off with YL V6 oil, grape seed oil, or fractionated coconut oil.

Peace & Calming is a blend of 5 different oils to promote confidence, self- love, peace, & calm.

If you are not much of a DIYer but enjoy using your oils topically, you can take advantage of Young Living's premade Roll- ons. The Tranquil Roll-on is a school- night favorite ready-to-go recipe of Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Cedarwood, and coconut oil. This "unicorn concoction" is composed of relaxing oils that can help ease your body and mind for a restful and deep night's sleep.

Immune System Strength
Besides eating well, getting plenty of sleep, and drinking your water, you can add these little weapons to your stay-well arsenal. First, start each day off right with 1-2 oz Ningxia Red (pronounced Ning- Sha)! Two 2-oz packs come in the Essential Oils Premium Starter Kit.
This delectable antioxidant drink is a proprietary blend of wolfberry puree and concentrated blueberry, plum, cherry, aronia, and pomegranate juices along with essential oils (Orange, Yuzu, Lemon, and Tangerine) and a few more ingredients, all supporting the digestive, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems. Ningxia Red also aids in detoxification, energy production, and brain function.
Take your NingXia Red (NR) shot to the next level by adding a drop of each of these vitality oils:
Thieves Vitality Essential Oil is a blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary. This essential oil blend is highly regarded for its ability to support the immune system. It's the perfect addition to your everyday wellness routine.
Lemon Vitality Essential Oil supports the digestive, immune, and respiratory systems. It promotes health and energizes the mind and body! It also contains 68% d-limonene, a powerful antioxidant!
Copaiba Vitality Essential Oil includes naturally occurring beta- caryophyllene and alpha-humulene, both of which support the body’s natural response to injury or irritation. Be a good student and do a little research on your own about this one to see what a magical little oil it is.
Clove Vitality Essential Oil, which comes from cloves, the ultimate "protective" herb, helps support the digestive, immune, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. It's also a powerful antioxidant! Ground clove has an ORAC** value of 290,283 units. This means that every gram of ground cloves contains 30 times more antioxidants than a gram of blueberries, which only has a value of 9,621.

WELLNESS ROLLER RECIPE
10 drops Frankincense
15 drops Oregano
15 drops Peppermint
15 drops Thieves
30 drops Lemon
Put the above in a 15ml glass roller and top it off with a carrier oil. Apply to the bottom of your feet before leaving for school in the morning.
BONUS TIP: Your empty essential oils bottles from Young Living can be reused. Purchase a 10 pack of YL roller fitments. Use a fitment on your recycled YL bottle for an easy roll-on.
Safe Cleaning
Many of the generic cleaners used at home and in the classroom contain Phthalates, which interfere with hormones and are carcinogens. They also contain asthma instigators and poisonous ingredients that affect you and your students' health.
Thieves cleaner is plant-based and does NOT contain those big bad Phthalates or any other harmful chemicals. It can be used on many different surfaces: counters, bathrooms, floors, toys, clothes, carpet, mirrors, windows, and, yes, your desk!!
There is an entire Thieves line you will want to try, but two teacher must-haves are the Thieves Spray for easy on-the-go quick clean up and the Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier. As a teacher, being around kids all of the time calls for a lot of hand washing. The Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier is quick, easy, gentle, and won't dry out your hands. It smells great, too! A sample of Thieves Household Cleaner comes in the Essential Oils Premium Starter Kit. It is enough to make one 30 oz bottle of all- purpose cleaner! You also get a 1-oz. bottle of Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier!
Energy & Mood
As a teacher, you encounter a lot of emotional ups and downs. Sometimes you need a little extra support in the emotions and energy department. Maybe you had to cover someone's class or you have to head home to care for your family after a long day of teaching. Whatever your situation is, there are many great YL options to keep you energized, like NingXia Nitro. If you haven't tried it, take this 1-oz. energy drink after lunch and feel energized with no afternoon crash.
JOY is a beautiful blend of ten different essential oils that helps stimulate uplifting emotions. It contains Rose oil, which is the most expensive oil with a very high frequency. High frequencies keep you healthy and happy!
ORANGE & LEMON help bring peace and happiness to mind and body.
PEPPERMINT is stimulating & invigorating in case you need a little energy boost.
JOYFUL ENERGY ROLL-ON RECIPE
3 drops Joy
7 drops Peppermint
10 drops Lemon
10 drops Orange
Combine these essential oils in a 10 ml bottle with a roll-on top. Top the bottle off with YL V6 carrier oil and apply to your wrists as often as needed. You can easily turn this into a diffuser recipe by cutting down the recipe by 2/3.
Please Note: Citrus oils can cause your skin to be more sensitive to the sun. Avoid applying this blend to skin that will be exposed to the sun if you plan to go outside later in the day.
Occasional Stress
Stress Away essential oil blend contains Lime, Vanilla extract, Cedarwood, Lavender, & Copaiba essential oils. It releases tension to help your mind and body relax. It also comes in the Premium Starter Kit! Put one drop on the top of your head first thing in the morning before all the craziness of your day starts and diffuse 3-6 drops when needed.
CALMING ROLL-ON RECIPE
10 drops Lemon
5 drops Lavender
15 drops Clary Sage
Add these three oils to a 10 or 15 ml roller bottle. Fill the rest with your favorite carrier oil or YL V6 oil. Keep this in your desk and apply to your wrists and neck when needed, even if it's every period. Turn this into a diffuser recipe by using 2 drops Lemon, 2 drops Clary Sage, and 1 drop Lavender.
Feeling tech challenged? Use Clarity blend topically and in the diffuser.
Taking home your students' problems? Diffuse Release blend.
To-do lists got your head pounding? Use Peppermint and PanAway* on your temples.
