What if I have low iron?

What if I have low iron?
Iron is a crucial mineral for maintaining energy, supporting the immune system, and promoting overall health. If you're looking for natural ways to help raise and maintain healthy iron levels, Young Living's essential oils and supplements offer fantastic options that are much better than the stuff at your local grocery store!


LOW IRON AT A GLANCE


Common symptoms of low iron include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and difficulty concentrating.
Iron-rich foods, supplements, and proper nutrient absorption can go a long way to raising iron levels.
Pairing iron with vitamin C improves absorption and supports gut health for optimal results.



THE POWER OF NINGXIA RED


NingXia Red is a nutrient-packed drink that plays a key role in so many areas of health, including supporting iron levels.
NingXia Red supports energy, immune function, and overall vitality.
NingXia Red is clinically proven to lower the effects of stress and improve sleep.
NingXia Red also includes citrus essential oils, which support health and immunity.


NingXia Red is rich in wolfberries (goji berries), which contain iron and vitamin C—a combination that provides the body with iron and also enhances iron absorption. Additionally, the robust antioxidant content of NingXia Red supports healthy blood cells and reduces oxidative stress.

LOW IRON AND MINERAL BALANCE
Balancing minerals is essential for maintaining healthy iron levels because several key minerals play supportive roles in iron absorption, storage, and utilization. In fact, many individuals who have low iron on a blood test focus on mineral balance and whole-food supplements to get iron levels back where they need to be.

Improves Iron Absorption: Minerals like zinc and copper are crucial for the enzymes that help absorb iron in the intestines. A deficiency in these minerals can lead to inefficient iron uptake.
Enhances Iron Metabolism: Magnesium and selenium help with overall nutrient metabolism, including the processes that involve iron utilization in the body.
Supports Hemoglobin Production: Copper plays a direct role in forming hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen and requires iron.
Promotes Cellular Health: A balanced mineral profile ensures that cells responsible for producing blood and maintaining oxygen transport functions operate optimally.
Prevents Imbalances: Excess or deficiencies in one mineral can interfere with others. For example, too much calcium can inhibit iron absorption, while a lack of magnesium can affect energy production and overall metabolism, indirectly impacting iron.


MINERAL ESSENCE
Mineral Essence is a liquid ionic mineral supplement packed with essential minerals that help create a balanced environment for optimal nutrient absorption.


Packed with minerals like magnesium, zinc, and selenium that play a role in iron metabolism and absorption. 
Has a balanced mineral profile that ensures your body can utilize the iron you consume effectively.
Contains ionic minerals that are easy to absorb
Supports overall wellness, including energy production, bone health, and immune function


To use, simply add 5 droppersful to water or juice and drink daily. Its spicy, tangy flavor pairs well with citrus juices.

ESSENTIAL OILS FOR IRON SUPPORT
While essential oils don't often directly increase iron levels, they can complement your wellness routine by supporting related systems.


Lemon: Add a drop to water to support gentle detoxification and enhance vitamin C intake.
Peppermint: Promotes healthy digestion, ensuring your body absorbs nutrients effectively.
Copaiba: Helps soothe inflammation, creating an optimal environment for nutrient absorption.


TIPS FOR MAINTAINING HEALTHY IRON LEVELS

Pair iron with vitamin C: Combining iron-rich foods and NingXia Red with vitamin C improves absorption. Add Super C Chewable to your daily lineup when you take your NingXia!
Prioritize gut health: A healthy gut microbiome is key to efficient nutrient absorption. Probiotics like Life 9 can help.
Stay consistent: Regular use of supplements like NingXia Red and Mineral Essence ensures your body receives consistent support. 

One more tip to help maintain healthy iron levels - cook using cast iron pans!

All Things Stomach

All Things Stomach
Ohhh stomach issues. We have all been there, and we all know that this area is one where we need tools that work well and work quickly! Thankfully we have a whole toolbox of natural options when it comes to all things stomach! 

QUICK TIPS FOR ALL THINGS STOMACH

* Stock your wellness cabinet before hand so you're prepared when the issues arise - DiGize, TummyGize, AlkaLime and Peppermint

* Think proactively! Add Life 9 or MightyPro to your daily routine for a healthy gut.

* Consider DiGize Vitality in a capsule and/or AlkaLime when traveling, eating rich foods or foods that you normally don't consume. 

* Add enzymes to your daily routine with Essentialzymes -4. Enzymes are a huge boost to health as they help us digest our food and extract nutrients. (Try the chewable MightyZymes for kids or those needing a chewable form!)

* To keep things healthy and moving, add ICP Daily to your daily wellness routine.

A lot of stomach health relies on effective daily habits like a good probiotic (Life 9 or MightyPro), eating a rainbow of fruits and vegetables, providing your body with good nutrients, and moving your body daily. 

SUPPLEMENTS FOR HEALTHY STOMACHS

High quality digestive supplements can go a long way when it comes to having healthy stomachs. Probiotics are the foundation of digestive health, and we can build from there. Healthy daily bowel movements are a good indicator of digestive health. If things aren't moving, they get backed up and cause a whole host of problems. There are a lot of great digestive supplements to target specific needs (see below!), but here are the foundational ones:

Life 9 or MightyPro

A high quality probiotic is a cornerstone of health! Life 9 is a diverse, high potency capsule that should really be on everyone's daily routine. For the little ones, we love the MightyPro packets -a pre and probiotic in one that tastes great with no added sugar! (I like them, too!)

Essentialzymes-4 or MightyZymes

Enzymes are crucial to our health and digestion, and in an ideal world our foods would be rich in natural enzymes. Unfortunately the average diet and even the soil quality of our produce lead us to be sorely depleted in enzymes at an early age. Enzymes are involved in every cell in the body, and are especially important in digestion! 

ICP Daily

Taking daily steps to build, support, detoxify and balance gut bacteria and intestinal lining is crucial, and one of our favorite, simple ways to do this is with ICP Daily! ICP Daily is a daily prebiotic and fiber drink that is both delicious and easy on the stomach. ICP Daily supports gut health, aids in the body's natural detoxification process, and helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome - all things that are crucial to overall health! This gentle daily formula contains 6 grams of plant-based prebiotics, 5 grams of soluble fiber, and a belly-supporting blend of essential oils - Fennel, Anise, Tarragon, Ginger, Lemongrass, and Rosemary.

Healthy habits go a long way towards preventing or mitigating a lot of common digestive issues, but when the bumps in the road occur, we have tools for that as well!

HANDLING BUMPS IN THE ROAD

DiGize

The DiGize essential oil blend is formulated specifically to provide a calming, soothing digestive experience. Well known digestive-supporting oils like Tarragon and Ginger help soothe and settle while Juniper and Patchouli calm. DiGize is our go-to when we need to get things moving! Dilute and apply to the belly with a gentle massage.

* Dilute and rub over the abdomen for helping things get moving, if you're not feeling great after eating or during travel or anytime you need things to be soothed.

* Pair with Lemon and Peppermint in a 10mL roller - 20 drops of each - and roll around the belly button as needed.

* Add 1-2 drops of DiGize Vitality and a bit of olive oil to an empty vegetable capsule and take as needed for digestive discomfort. You can do this before or after eating/needs arise. 

* Add 1 drop of DiGize Vitality to a large glass of water (you can add Lemon or Peppermint as well if you don't' love the taste) - this is a great way to get the effects quickly!

“One of the ways I used to feel the most powerless when taking care of our health prior to oils was with any type of stomach discomfort. Then we found DiGize. Now every member of my family knows to grab that red bottle at the first signs of rumblings.” - customer testimony

TummyGize

TummyGize is a pre-diluted, kid-specific version of DiGize! This blend is perfect for your little ones age 2 and older, and they can grab it themselves and apply to the belly as needed. We love to keep one in our wellness kit and one at home where the kids can always find it when they need it!

* Roll over the belly before big events or school days

* Some moms of younger children have chosen to use TummyGize either as is or further diluted for common infant digestive needs. Use to your own comfort level!

Peppermint

If you take a walk down the digestive aisle at a store, you'll find that almost all the products are mint-flavored. There is a good reason for that! The mint family, peppermint especially, has long been known for its ability to soothe digestive needs. This is definitely one oil you want in your wellness arsenal! Peppermint is great for travel needs, for nerves that bring digestive discomfort, for first trimester struggles or anytime you need the crisp, soothing scent of Peppermint. 

* Dilute and apply Peppermint topically on its own or in the roller blend listed above

* Inhale Peppermint directly from the bottle (great to do if traveling is a trigger for you!)

* Drop or roll Peppermint on the back of the neck to help soothe queasiness and bring alertness/center yourself when feeling bad

* Take an epsom salt bath with 1 cup of epsom salt + 5 drops Peppermint

* Add 1 drop Peppermint Vitality to a very large glass of water to soothe

AlkaLime

So many modern foods are loaded with (often hidden!) sugars and stimulants, impeding the body's ability to foster a healthy pH balance. AlkaLime works to combat this with its array of high-alkaline salts and other yeast-fighting elements such as citric acid and lemon and lime essential oils! AlkaLime also helps soothe digestion and occasional upset stomach. This is also a wonderful supplement for those who have dietary sensitivities and experience exposure to a food that is pro-inflammatory for their body! 

WHEN THE DREADED ‘YOU KNOW WHAT' HITS

When the stomach bug is going around we want to do all we can to avoid it and all we can to support ourselves if the worst happens! We focus on bolstering immunity as much as we can, then if we go down, we reach for all our digestive tools. Here are a few things we reach for during these times:

* Thieves Essential Oil Blend - topically, diffused, ingested as Thieves Vitality - get this oil in, on and around you for immune support

* Oregano, ImmuPower - great immune support oils to diffuse or apply

* Inner Defense - these capsules helps reinforce your immune defenses

* Peppermint, DiGize, Lemon - for all the digestive things we mentioned above when you go down. Peppermint diffused or inhaled is great for feeling queasy!!

* NingXia Red with AminoWise and/or Lavender Lemonade Vitality drops for nutrients and rehydrating after you can keep things down.

OTHER DIGESTIVE SUPPLEMENTS

* Allerzyme, Essentialzymes, DetoxZyme - enzyme supplements with targeted support

* Comfortone - fiber and gentle cleansing agents for daily use, great for colon support

* Digest & Cleanse - essential oils for cleansing and digestive health

* Cleansing Trio (ICP, Comfortone, Essentialzyme) - great for doing an intestinal cleanse and eliminating waste by specifically supporting normal liver function.

Meet Traci Stensaas, a horse loving, homeschooling, boy mom.

 
Our family used to face constant bouts of illness. My son suffered from reactive airway disease as a toddler. Every passing bug knocked him down. We became well-acquainted with doctor visits and nebulizer treatments, trying anything to ease his breathing troubles. I believed that cleaning our home using store-bought cleaners was a good thing and that I was helping him get better.

Then I discovered the truth. Those chemicals were causing more harm than good. I found there were options that not only cleaned effectively but also boosted our health. I started with simple swaps. We all started a healing journey. The transformation was incredible. He is an athlete and has enjoyed all kinds of sports like football, basketball, cross country, track, and Taekwondo. We're all healthy, happy, and thankful for these positive changes.

I now support other moms and families in replacing toxic products with safe, clean options, one step at a time. If that's you, get in touch—I’d love to help.
