- When in doubt, dilute. There are no hard and fast rules about dilution so don’t stress over it. You just want to start slow since their systems are more sensitive than adults’. A good place to test out oils is on the feet. For ages 0-1, start off with 1 drop of essential oil and add 8 drops of carrier (Young Living’s V-6 oil, coconut oil, grapeseed oil, etc.). For ages 2-6, try 1 drop of essential oil and add 3 drops of carrier. For ages 7-11, try 1 drop of essential oil and add 1 drop of carrier. For ages 12+, use your best judgment based on the oil you choose to use.
- Be cautious using “hot” oils topically. Examples of hot oils and blends include Cinnamon, Clove, Lemongrass, Oregano, Thyme, Exodus II, and Thieves. For some people, Peppermint’s cooling sensation can be too intense. These oils will need heavier dilution when applied to an area that’s more sensitive. Try them on the feet or spine to be safe. Wash your hands after applying these oils by hand; you don’t want any accidentally getting into someone’s eyes. If that ever happens, don’t worry! You can pull the essential oil out with a fatty carrier like coconut oil.
- Start slow when diffusing. Start with just a few drops or less when diffusing around kids. As you see how they respond to the oils, you can increase the amount as you see fit. If you’re in a more open room, you can use more. If you diffuse in a smaller, more compact area, use less. Everyone’s body has different needs and responds to oils in his/her own unique way, so start slow.
- Have your oils OUT and visible. If your oils are stored deep in a cluttered drawer they will be out of sight, out of mind. Keep them on a stand, a shelf, on a counter, wherever you will SEE them and use them.
- Label and/or organize your oils. Group them in similar colors or organize them alphabetically. You could even set them apart based on certain health needs you have.
- Make rollers. Rollers provide a quick, convenient way to dilute your oils and have them ready for application whenever you or your child has a need. Plus, they fit in backpacks, purses, pockets, anywhere! And they empower your kids to use them when their body needs them.
- Pair your oils with other daily activities you’re already accustomed to. Set a roller by your toothbrush so you apply it every morning. Have a bottle of oil and a carafe of water sitting next to your diffuser on your bedside table so you don’t forget to diffuse at bedtime. Set rollers or sprays near the backdoor where you store your shoes or purse and use them on your way out. You can do this; get creative!
This protocol is a GREAT way to start your day... for kids and adults! Bring on the CALM and COURAGE!
- Use these chewables for relief of occasional symptoms including fullness, pressure, bloating, stuffed feeling (commonly referred to as gas), pain and/or minor cramping that may occur after eating.

This post is quite long, but full of juicy bits for women, for men, for understanding your hormones and much more! Scroll thru and find the info that fits your life today!
USING ESSENTIAL OILS TO BALANCE HORMONES IS ONE STEP
There are many things you can do to relieve hormonal imbalance naturally but essential oils can be particularly powerful. Clary Sage has been used since Medieval times to treat PMS, infertility, difficult or irregular menstrual cycles, lowered libido, and difficult menopausal symptoms like sweats and hot flashes. Lavender essential oil will promote relaxation and help you deal with any added stress caused by your hormone imbalance.
But first – realize that using essential oils to balance hormones is just one step you need to consider when looking for healing. Diet can play a huge role in hormone imbalance issues. For example, dairy often contains hormones that can throw your levels our of whack, while healthy nuts and seeds like hemp seeds can help bring hormones into balance.
I also want to make sure you aren’t making a hormone imbalance WORSE with toxic ingredients in your home. Did you know many air fresheners and fragrances have hormone disrupting ingredients in them? Many laundry care products also have dangerous chemicals – dyes, fragrances, and cleaning agents can all have negative effects on your body’s hormonal balance. As you look to heal your body with essential oils to balance your hormones, make sure you detox your home to eliminate harmful chemicals as well!
HORMONE BALANCING SERUM RECIPE
After creating your Hormone Balancing Serum, massage a few drops over your thyroid and adrenals (front of neck and low back) in the morning and before bed.
INGREDIENTS FOR HORMONE BALANCING SERUM RECIPE
- 10 ml Evening Primrose oil (you can use another carrier oil)
- 4 drops Clary Sage oil
- 4 drops of Frankincense oil
- 4 drops Lavender oil
- 4 drops Geranium
- 2 drops Ylang Ylang oil
- 10 ml Roller Bottle
HOW TO MAKE HORMONE BALANCING SERUM WITH ESSENTIAL OILS FOR HORMONES
- Put essential oils in roller bottle and fill with evening primrose oil.
- Massage over neck (thyroid) and along lower back/over kidneys (adrenals) morning and night.
WHY DO THESE ESSENTIAL OILS WORK TO BALANCE HORMONES?
Clary Sage – Clary sage is known to have anti-inflammatory and antidepressant effects, as well as shown to relieve cramps and pain from hormonal surges in women. This is a must-try for hormone balancing blends.
Frankincense – One of my favorite essential oils for overall balance and to enhance the effects of other essential oils in many of my blends.
Lavender – The restful anti-anxiety properties of lavender essential oil make it invaluable in this hormone balancing blend.
Geranium – An essential oil with proven benefits for libido, stress and other menopause or hormonal imbalance symptoms.
Ylang Ylang – The queen of essential oils, this floral essential oil is one I turn to for libido, stress and more.
What makes bone broth good for you?
The nutritional profile of bone broth depends widely on the kind of bones you use (you can use chicken, turkey, beef, pork, fish—anything!), your cooking time, and the way the animals were raised (grass-fed and pasture-raised animals will give you more nutrient density). But there are a few common things about bone broth that make it so awesome:
- It’s loaded with gelatin. The slow and low cooking helps to release the gelatin—which is a broken-down version of collagen—that is in the connective tissues and bones you use. Why is this a good thing? Well, major important areas of our body (like the lining of our gut and our own connective tissues and joints) are made from collagen—in fact, about 25% of our body is made of collagen! Some folks use gelatin or collagen supplements, but bone broth is another effective (and affordable) way to get your gelatin and collagen. Making sure you get an adequate supply of collagen has a ton of health benefits like helping you sleep better, making your skin more supple, protecting your gut lining, and making your joints less achy.
- It’s easy to digest. Sometimes the roughage of a huge salad is good for you, but sometimes—especially if you are fighting digestive disorders or your immune system isn’t up to snuff—easy-to-digest foods are the way to go. Bone broth is a wonderful marriage of easy-to-digest but still nutritionally powerful
Is bone broth some new fancy food trend?
While bone broth is quite trendy now, it is absolutely not a new food! Healing broths and stocks have been part of the vast majority of cultures for centuries. Chances are if you can speak with an elder in your community, they can tell you stories about healing bone broth and soups from their childhood. If you’d like to read more about traditional foods and how they are (unfortunately) missing from our current diets, I highly recommend checking out Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. It’s an incredibly eye-opening look into how we’ve stripped away the traditional preparation methods for many of our foods in the interest of saving-time.
How to do you make bone broth?
While bone broth can be incredibly time-consuming to make (three hours at it’s fastest in your Instant Pot or up to two days using other methods), it is also incredibly simple. To make bone broth, all you have to do is:
- Cook or roast animal bones.
- Soak shortly in filtered water and apple cider vinegar.
- Add any seasonings or flavorings you prefer.
- Cook over very low heat until done. That’s it!
The vast majority of the bone broth cooking time is hands-off (we’re talking like 99% of the time).
How do you use bone broth?
You can use bone broth just like you would any other stock or broth. Use it to make chicken soup. Use it to cook rice. Use beef bone broth it in beef stew. Many bone broth fans also prefer to drink bone broth straight—as a sipping broth. The long-simmering of the broth gives it a complex, rich flavor that is cozy, comforting, and warm. I personally love having bone broth with ginger and garlic for immune supporting qualities! The gelatin in the broth is great for your skin and joints!
What are the best bones for bone broth?
I believe the best bones for bone broth are the ones you have! I always make bone broth after roasting a chicken—because those are the bones I have on hand. Waste not, want not! For the absolute highest collagen content in your broth (meaning it will gel the best), you’re looking for bones that are full of connective tissue. You want to use necks, feet, backs, joints, and knuckles where possible. I tend to keep some of these on hand in my freezer to add into a batch of bone broth whenever I want to boost the nutrition. Yes, I have a bag of chicken feet in my freezer! You can often purchase bones from local food co-ops.
