Insect Repellent by Young Living

Insect Repellent

Young Living’s Insect Repellent is tested to repel mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas using only 100 percent naturally derived, plant-based ingredients.

Here in Florida we joke that the state bird is the mosquito.  As you can imagine, insect repellent is a MUST and is used liberally during all of our summer activities.  Sporting events, outdoor concerts, BBQs, picnics, hiking, camping, kayaking…if it takes place outdoors, you’ll want insect repellent.  Since I need to use it so often, I was really looking for a more natural, toxin free solution without DEET or synthetic chemicals.  As always, I first look to Young Living and as usual, they have the perfect solution.

Pure sesame oil and a carefully selected blend of essential oils traditionally used for their bug-repellent properties come together to make up all 99 percent of the active ingredients in this formula. The other 1 percent? Vitamin E. That means you can use it on your little ones and not worry about the synthetic chemicals used in many traditional repellents. You’ll also love the pleasant, citrusy aroma and smooth, non-greasy, non-sticky application.

So whether you’re spending time in the backyard or the backwoods, you can feel great knowing you have a pure, plant-based way to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Due to state regulations, this product is not available for purchase in every state.

Mountain Savory Vitality™ essential oil

(Satureja Montana)

Mountain Savory (aka Winter Savory) essential oil is for use aromatically and topically while Mountain Savory Vitality essential oil is dietary and therefore can be ingested.  Both bottles contain the same essential oil and differ only in the way they are labeled.  The designation of the two products allows you to share all the ways to use essential oils in the correct and FDA approved way.

The mountain savory plant has been used as a culinary herb for centuries and has a strong flavor that is reminiscent of oregano. This perennial herb is native to warm, temperate regions of southern Europe and the Mediterranean. Mountain Savory Vitality™ essential oil is steam distilled from the flowering plant and can be a welcome addition to both your pantry and your daily essential oil dietary supplementation. Mountain Savory Vitality oil has many health benefits, including immune support, cleansing properties, and delivering powerful antioxidants.*

Mountain Savory Vitality adds a spicy note to herbal tea blends, sauces, stews, marinades, and rubs. It pairs well with Rosemary Vitality, Thyme Vitality, Sage Vitality, and Peppermint Vitality essential oils.

How to use: For internal use.  To use as a dietary supplement, add to food, water or other beverages.  Can also place a few drops in a vegetable capsule and take internally to support overall wellness.

• Add it to meats, beans, or stuffing to impart a spicy, herbaceous flavor.
• Dilute 1 drop with 4 drops of V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex and take as a dietary supplement to support overall wellness.*
• For a great start to your morning, add a drop of Mountain Savory Vitality to hot tea, then sweeten to taste with Blue Agave or Slique® Essence™.
• Add 1–2 drops to water in the morning to enjoy its cleansing benefits.*
• Add to white beans for a savory side dish!
