Updates from Traci Stensaas

Citrus oils are some of our most used oils! These bright, uplifting scents are wonderful additions to diffuser blends, selfcare DIYs, roller blends, and home cleaning recipes, plus these oils have some wonderful health properties. These oils are sure to bring a smile to your face.

JUST A DROP OF CITRUS OILS…

Citrus essential oils are rich in limonene, making them supportive of the immune and circulatory systems as well as good for our bodies overall. Citrus oils are also known for stimulating creativity, making them a great choice to diffuse while working, during homework or during arts and crafts. The Vitality line of citrus oils are great for supporting the immune and digestive systems as dietary supplements (the actual oil in the bottle is the same as the non-Vitality one though!).

CITRUS OIL OPTIONS (plus oils that smell like citrus)

You can also find citrus oils in many blends and oil-infused products: Citrus Fresh, Lushious Lemon, Peace & Calming, Christmas Spirit, Inner Child, Valor, Clarity and many other oil blends, Thieves Foaming Hand Soap, Thieves Lozenges, Super C and Super C Chewable tablets and more!

BACKGROUND & SOURCING

Citrus oils are mostly cold pressed from the rind of the fruit, though some are vacuum distilled. In a beautiful, natural symmetry, the rind of citrus fruits are alkaline while the juice is acidic, giving citrus oils some really wonderful health properties that we can utilize!

KEY CONSTITUENTS

*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

CITRUS OILS & EMOTIONS

Citrus oils can be an instant mood booster! These oils are great for promoting an aroma of joy and creativity and lessening worries. Diffuse, apply, or add them to your favorite emotional support oils in a roller. 

Citrus oils contain Limonene, a potent free radical scavenger. When there is less physical oxidative stress in the body, then there are less negative emotions. Citrus oils also contain compounds that boost your mood by increasing calming neurotransmitters in the brain, making them wonderful tools for emotional support. 

DAILY HABITS WITH CITRUS OILS

Start your day with a burst of liquid sunshine by diffusing Orange, Lemon or Bergamot in the morning. These oils are delightful on their own, or you can combine them with complementary oils such as Grapefruit, Cinnamon, Neroli, and Peppermint.

Diffuse citrus oils alone or in one of these combinations:

Try this Rosemary Orange Hair Mask:

¼ cup avocado oil 

10 drops Rosemary

5 drops Orange

Optional: 5 drops Cedarwood (great for growth)

Mix well and apply on hair starting at the ends. Let sit for up to 10 minutes then shampoo and condition as normal. 

Refresh dried lips with this Grapefruit Sugar Scrub

2 Tbsp Organic Sugar 

1 Tbsp Organic Olive Oil 

2 Tbsp of Organic Honey 

1 tsp Lemon Juice 

3 drops Grapefruit 

2 drops Lemon or Tangerine 

Mix ingredients well then rub onto lips. Rinse well and follow with Lavender Lip Balm as desired.

Try this Unicorn Roller as a daily perfume with emotional support:

10mL roller bottle

Carrier of choice

We love our citrus oils! If you don't already have an oily person to help you get started, I am happy to help you!

Minerals are essential to our overall health, playing a pivotal role in countless bodily functions. From maintaining strong bones and teeth to supporting the immune system and regulating heart rhythm, minerals are crucial for daily well-being! 

MINERALS AT A GLANCE

    Minerals are natural, inorganic substances that the body needs for bone formation, nerve transmission, fluid balance, and other things.

    Minerals help maintain a healthy metabolism, support nerve and muscle function, and aid in hormone regulation.

    Macrominerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, sulfur, and chloride are needed in larger amounts

    Trace minerals like iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, selenium, chromium, molybdenum, fluoride are needed in smaller amounts.

    We get minerals from whole foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, dairy, animal protein, and mineral-rich waters.

    Signs of mineral deficiency can include fatigue, muscle cramps, brittle bones, irritability, and poor immunity.

 Minerals are a crucial part of the health puzzle, but many of us are unknowingly deficient, leading to a host of health concerns. Understanding minerals, their sources, and how to incorporate them into our daily lives is essential to achieving optimal health!

 

WHY MINERALS MATTER FOR YOUR HEALTH

Minerals are often the unsung heroes of a well-balanced diet. While vitamins tend to get more attention, minerals are equally essential for maintaining a healthy body. They are involved in a variety of physiological processes, from supporting enzyme function to regulating hydration levels. 

For example, calcium strengthens bones, magnesium helps muscles relax, and potassium balances fluids. Without the right balance of minerals, even the healthiest diet can fall short of meeting your nutritional needs.

Unfortunately, many people are unaware of how important it is to consume minerals in the proper amounts. Deficiency in minerals can contribute to a range of health issues, from low energy to weakened immunity and digestive issues. 

Traditionally, eating fresh, sprouted grains, fruits, and vegetables grown in nutrient-rich soil has been the primary supply for a full spectrum of ionic minerals. Unfortunately in today's world, naturally occurring, nutrient-rich soil is becoming increasingly rare. Decades and decades of vegetation growth and aggressive modern farming techniques have brought many of the earth's minerals to the surface where they have been washed away. Synthesized fertilizers are routinely applied to farms and fields where minerals have been depleted, but man-made fertilizers provide only enough mineral substance to support basic plant life.

And just like so many other areas of our health, we can achieve our goals with supplementation!

WHAT MINERALS DO FOR THE BODY AND HOW THEY ARE USED

Minerals are essential to nearly every function in the human body. They help with building bones, teeth, and tissues, conducting nerve impulses, maintaining fluid balance, and supporting the immune system. Each mineral plays a unique role, and they work together to ensure your body functions smoothly. Minerals are absorbed by the body through food and supplements and are then transported to various organs where they are utilized to perform specific tasks.

    Calcium: Needed for bone and teeth formation, muscle function, nerve transmission, and blood clotting.

    Magnesium: Needed for muscle and nerve function, energy production, protein synthesis, and bone health.

    Potassium: Needed for fluid balance, nerve function, muscle contraction, and blood pressure regulation.

    Iron: Needed for oxygen transport, energy production, and immune system function.

    Zinc: Needed for immune system function, wound healing, protein synthesis, and DNA synthesis.

    Sodium: Needed for fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction.

    Phosphorus: Needed for bone and teeth formation, energy metabolism, and cell membrane structure.

    Selenium: Needed for antioxidant activity, thyroid function, and hair growth.

    Copper: Needed for iron absorption, energy production, collagen formation, and antioxidant activity.

    Iodine: Needed for thyroid hormone production and metabolism regulation.

    Manganese: Needed for bone formation, collagen production, wound healing, and antioxidant activity.

NINGXIA RED: A POWERFUL MINERAL SOURCE

NingXia Red is a fan favorite supplement that stands out for its impressive mineral content. Made from the whole wolfberry (goji berry), NingXia Red offers a wealth of nutritional benefits, including essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron. These minerals are key to supporting energy levels, bone health, and proper muscle function.

Aside from its mineral-rich profile, NingXia Red is packed with antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins from the wolfberry, which help protect the body from oxidative stress. This powerful juice also contains other essential ingredients like sweetened wolfberry puree, citrus juices, and essential oils, all of which work synergistically to support overall vitality.

This one supplement is clinically proven to:

    Boost energy levels

    Decrease physical and emotional stress

    Promote a healthy immune and respiratory system

    Improve sleep

MINERAL ESSENCE FOR EVERYDAY WELLNESS

Mineral Essence is a great option for promoting mineral balance. You know all those minerals we listed a minute ago that the body needs?? They are ALL in this one supplement!

This liquid supplement is rich in naturally derived minerals, including magnesium, potassium, and calcium, which help the body perform its vital functions. Unlike synthetic mineral supplements, Mineral Essence uses trace minerals that are easily absorbed and utilized by the body.

One of the main benefits of Mineral Essence is its ability to support optimal hydration and electrolyte balance. Since minerals like potassium and magnesium play a key role in regulating fluid levels, taking Mineral Essence can help keep you hydrated throughout the day. This is especially beneficial for those who lead an active lifestyle or suffer from dehydration.

One incredible thing about Mineral Essence is that it includes ionic minerals. This means that the minerals are in their ion forms and therefore more easily absorbed by the body. This makes Mineral Essence different from any other mineral supplement on the market! 

    Promotes muscle health

    Supports skin health

    Supports heart health

    Enhances energy production

The following deficiencies have been linked to many health issues -- including those that affect our emotional health -- and all of these deficiencies can be improved with Mineral Essence!

    Iron: affects around 20% women and 50% of pregnant women. Pair with Master Formula for ideal results.

    Selenium: a key component of thyroid health. Pair with Master Formula for ideal results.

    Magnesium: some sources say up to half the population is deficient in magnesium! 1 serving of Mineral Essence provides 80% of our daily magnesium requirements.

    Zinc: this mineral is used by more enzymes than any other mineral our bodies need and is used for everything from gut health to DNA repair.

By incorporating Mineral Essence into your daily routine, you can ensure you are replenishing your body with the essential minerals it needs to thrive.

SUPER MAGNESIUM - A MUST FOR EVERYONE

Did you know that magnesium is a core building block for your health? It is involved in over 300 processes within the body! And almost all of us aren't getting enough of it. BUT a good quality, sustainably sourced magnesium supplement that is easily absorbed by the body is almost impossible to find… but we have it with Super Magnesium.

Super Magnesium:

    Supports a restful night's sleep and a calm nervous system

    Promotes healthy organ function

    Reduces oxidative stress on the body as a whole

    Contains melon juice concentrate to increase magnesium efficiency in the body (sends the magnesium where it needs to go!) and reduce oxidative stress and fatigue

    Decreases physical fatigue while supporting an active lifestyle and normal energy levels

    Promotes overall well-being when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle

 This mighty supplement is sustainably sourced from seawater with a variety of trace minerals and formulated with melon juice concentrate, which reduces oxidative stress and increases magnesium efficiency in the body. Super Magnesium combines the power of bioavailable (read: easily absorbable) magnesium from the Irish Sea with the power of melon juice concentrate and Bergamot essential oil to maintain healthy magnesium levels in the body all day long. In short, this supplement helps your body win!

OTHER WAYS TO ADD MINERALS TO YOUR DIET

While supplements like NingXia Red and Mineral Essence are wonderful tools to boost your mineral intake, there are many other ways to incorporate minerals into your daily life:

    Eat a mineral-rich diet: Include a variety of whole foods, such as leafy greens, nuts, seeds, legumes, and dairy. Foods like spinach, almonds, avocado, and quinoa are excellent sources of key minerals.

    Drink mineral water: Opt for mineral waters, which contain naturally occurring minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium.

    Use sea salt: Switch out regular table salt for sea salt, which is rich in trace minerals like iodine and magnesium.

    Snack on seaweed: Seaweed is an excellent source of iodine and other trace minerals that support thyroid function and metabolism.

    Make bone broth: Bone broth is naturally rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, making it a great addition to your diet for optimal bone and joint health.

By making small, consistent changes to your lifestyle and diet, you can ensure that your body is getting the minerals it needs to stay balanced, energized, and healthy

There are so many incredible ways to use essential oils and adding them to our bath routine is one of them! Detox baths can be an incredible way to help your body through acute needs, help with skin issues, or help you get back above the wellness line as soon as possible! My boys know that when they aren't feeling their best, a detox bath with Epsom salts will be one of the first things they'll get to do.

DETOX BATHS AT A GLANCE

Detox baths are a really great way to give your body comfort, support, and a little TLC! This is a wonderful tool when you are feeling your defense go down (or they have already been breached!) or are fighting an acute skincare or muscle need. Essential oils, baking soda, and Epsom salts or magnesium flakes combined in hot water can help flush impurities from the body by allowing it to sweat out toxins!

This is a super easy way to use essential oils and also help give your body some magnesium! We like the Epsom salts but magnesium flakes will work as well.

1 cup Epsom salts

½ cup high quality baking soda (optional)

20-40 drops essential oils of choice 

Simply add oils to the Epsom Salts and mix well. 

To use, run hot water into the container of salts and let it overflow into the tub!

When adding essential oils to detox baths, you can use your own judgment on the number of drops, but remember that we are using this for an acute need (versus a relaxing soak!). Because of that you want to use enough oil to give your immune, respiratory, or other body system the boost that it needs. For most detox baths, we use around 30 drops of essential oil. When we are making detox baths for our little ones, we usually use about 15-20 drops of essential oil, depending on their age. You can use your discretion and start lower and add as desired! 

The goal with a detox bath is to sit in the bath with the water as hot/warm as comfortably possible. Ideally you are sweating as you soak so that your body is processing (detoxing!) the invaders! You want to sit in the bath for 40 minutes or so, up to an hour. The first 20 minutes will give your body time to remove toxins from your system while the last 20 to 40 minutes will allow you to absorb the minerals in the water and help you emerge from the bath feeling rejuvenated.

Some of our favorite oils for detox baths include:

Northern Lights Black Spruce, Idaho Blue Spruce, Frankincense, Copaiba

Dorado Azul, Ravintsara, Eucalyptus

Cilantro Vitality, Lemon, Pine

Purification, Thieves, Aroma Siez

This is the recipe we swear by for acute immune needs! If you don't have all these oils, use what you have on hand. Feel free to play with the number of drops for a recipe that is exactly what you want! Also, we like to use tepid water in the presence of a fever for even more comfort.

1 cup magnesium flakes or Epsom Salt

½ cup high quality baking soda (optional)

15 drops Ravintsara

6 drops Frankincense

6 drops Idaho Blue Spruce

3 drops Dorado Azul

2 drops Eucalyptus Radiata

1 drop Wintergreen

Add oils to epsom salt and mix well, then run hot water into the jar of salts/oils and overflow into the tub to mix! 

This curated set of essential oils is a powerful tool for promoting health, wellness and vitality – both proactively and for acute needs since the oils included can be incredible tools for healing! We love using these oils in rollers, massages, and in detox baths.

1 cup magnesium flakes/Epsom Salts

½ cup high quality baking soda (optional)

1 drop each Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Cypress, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Peppermint, Valor and Aroma Siez essential oils

In 2020, Pine, Geranium, and Lemon were huge players in our arsenal for ‘that which shall not be named.' Grab this recipe to help provide comfort and support for your immune system!

1 cup magnesium flakes/Epsom Salts

½ cup high quality baking soda (optional)

10 drops each Lemon, Geranium

15-20 drops Pine

This is one of our winter time go-tos. Adding oatmeal to the bath is helpful for more acute skin needs, especially for children. Think conventional oat baths but without the fake (chemical, man-made) fragrance!

1 cup organic oats, ground

¼ cup organic powdered milk (or coconut milk) (or goat milk)

1 Tbsp liquid castile soap

2 tsp Vitamin E oil

10-15 drops Frankincense

5 drops Lavender

5 drops Helichrysum

This one is incredible for both the skin and for joints! An ACV soak with magnesium is a great way to support active lifestyles.

¼ cup magnesium flakes

¼ cup organic oats, ground

2 Tbsp sweet almond oil

10 drops each Frankincense, Idaho Blue Spruce, Lavender

¼ cup raw organic apple cider vinegar

Mix together and add to bath water. Then add ACV to the water and gently mix.

This is a great recipe to tweak for your little ones! You can alter the oils as needed for specific issues, or you can add even less oils for younger children. If your child has trouble staying in the bath, consider reading to them or playing music while they soak!

1 cup magnesium flakes

½ cup high quality baking soda (optional)

15 drops Frankincense

5 drops Lavender

Simply add oils to magnesium and mix well. 

To use, run hot water into the container of salts and let it overflow into the tub!

Detox baths are a really wonderful tool to have in your toolbox and can benefit every need that you have. Use the basic recipe above and customize it based on your specific issue at hand:

Muscle love → Frankincense, Idaho Blue Spruce, Aroma Siez

Aches away → Peppermint, Lavender, Clove, Cypress
