The Make a Shift Essential Solutions Kit comes with everything you need to take the next step in your everyday wellness journey! Whether you are wanting to make your home smell amazing without using fragrance, get a greener cleaning routine, or find natural solutions for wellness needs, this kit has something to help you achieve those goals! Here's what is included:

  • Thieves essential oil blend, 5 mL This powerful blend of immune boosting oils works with the body's natural defense systems, making it one we reach for every day. Thieves is a combination of Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Lemon essential oils that smells amazing and kicks the germs to the curb at the same time. Some simple ways to use this blend include:

    • Dilute Thieves 1:4 (1 part Thieves, 4 part carrier oil) and apply to the spine, over the lymph nodes, and/or to the bottoms of the feet.
    • Add Thieves to your cleaning DIYs. (There's a reason Young Living has an entire line of household products infused with this blend!)
    • Add a drop to honey, then pour warm water over for a Thieves Tea (you can also add your favorite herbal tea), add a drop or two to coffee grounds before brewing, or mix into your favorite latte recipe.
    • Diffuse! Studies have shown that the Thieves blend can blast 96% of airborne germs. Pair with Peppermint for a pick-me-up or with Lavender for a bedtime blend that supports the immune system.
  • Purification essential oil blend, 5 mL Purification is our favorite way to keep our homes smelling fresh and clean - even if they aren't! It has a crisp, fresh aroma, and unlike many harsh chemical-based sprays it truly eliminates odors and doesn't simply mask them. It's a bright, cleansing blend of Citronella, Lavandin, Lemongrass, Rosemary, Myrtle, and Tea Tree that we use in so many different ways! These include:

    • Add Purification to wool dryer balls to give your laundry a bright-smelling boost.
    • Drop Purification directly into areas that need some freshening - rain boots, forgotten laundry, diaper pails, etc.
    • Use Purification to support healthy airways! Simply mix a few drops with coconut oil and rub onto the chest, neck and back. (This blend is full of wonderful purifying oils for the immune & respiratory systems!)
    • Apply Purification topically to calm everyday skin irritations or use to spot-treat blemishes.

  • Lavender essential oil, 5 mL Considered the panacea of aromatherapy, Lavender essential oil has endless uses – it is truly our Swiss Army Knife! In addition to its tranquil aroma, Lavender provides many skin care benefits, from beauty routines to first aid needs! It is also one we reach for to calm our systems when the air quality lowers. This oil is one to reach for whenever a need arises. Some ideas include:

    • Apply Lavender topically following sun exposure or add it to your facial essence, serum, or moisturizer.
    • Add 4 drops of Lavender and 1 cup of Epsom salt to a bath to create a relaxing environment.
    • Use it as a spot treatment for minor bumps and blemishes.
    • Unwind in the evening with a calming Lavender-infused neck or back massage.
    • Use Lavender to help cleanse and soothe minor skin irritations. Pair with Frankincense and coconut oil.
  • Peppermint essential oil, 5 mL Peppermint essential oil has a fresh, minty aroma that is invigorating whenever you need a pick me up! This crisp oil can be diffused to create a focused environment for work or study, or it can be applied topically to soothe & cool muscles following activity. Some of the ways we use it include:

    • Diffuse Peppermint while working or during homework time to create a focused environment.
    • Sprinkle a few drops in your shower for an awakening shower steam in the morning.
    • Apply it to your neck and shoulders or to tired muscles following physical activity for a cooling sensation.

  • Deep Relief Roll-On, 10 mL Deep Relief Roll-On is one of Young Living's most popular blends and will be your new tension-melting best friend! This pre-diluted blend combines Peppermint, Wintergreen, Copaiba, Clove, and Fir essential oils (plus more!) provide icy cool relief wherever you need it! Ditch the store-bought creams and grab your Deep Relief Roll-on!
    • Apply onto the temples, back of neck, and shoulders and gently massage to relieve stress and tension.
    • Apply generously to any sore or tense muscles or onto legs and feet after standing or walking all day.

  • Stress Away Roll-On, 10 mL We call this beachy blend a “vacation in a bottle.” Stress Away is your stress buster! It smells lovely with hints of vanilla and makes a great addition to DIY body butter, bath salts and more. Stress Away combines Copaiba, Lime, Cedarwood, Vanilla, Ocotea, and Lavender essential oils for the ultimate relaxing blend. To use this oil:
    • Apply to the neck, chest and shoulders and feel the tension melt away. Apply liberally and frequently
    • Use on the chest and feet before bedtime – alone or with Lavender – to promote relaxation.
    • Use as a daily perfume or personal fragrance!

  • Fresh Start Diffuser (exclusive to this kit!) This beautiful diffuser is streamlined and elegant and will be the perfect companion to any space! Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! Not only does it make your entire space feel like a spa, you get all the benefits of inhaling the pure essential oils you are diffusing – immune support, respiratory soothing, calming and relaxing, focus and attention – win win!
