Wizardly World of Potions & Brews

Welcome muggles! Snuggle up with your favorite magical creature and a goblet of butterbeer (or wine will do just fine!) ;)

I am so excited you’re here to learn a few easy ways to ‘brew up’ some recipes with essential oils!

Ready to start? Let’s have some fun!

Every wizard knows that quality ingredients matter when it comes to potions and brews. There are many essential oil companies out there and what sets Young Living apart from all of them is their ‘Seed to Seal’ promise. It’s the reason I chose them and trust them with my family.

YL owns its own farms, which no other major company does. It has partner farms all over the world that have to abide by the same standards.
YL won’t plant on soil that has been in contact with ANY chemicals within 50 years. (Organic standards are only three years!)
YL picks the absolute best seeds from strong, thriving plants.
YL hand weeds and uses its own oils on plants for weed and pest control to avoid harmful chemicals.
YL harvests at peak times to ensure you get the highest quality oil.
YL distills on site at the proper temperature, which allows the oils to maintain the highest amount of their naturally occurring constituents as possible, without the use of harsh chemicals.
YL tests every batch multiple times, and in multiple ways, throughout the process with state-of-the-art equipment and on-staff scientists

YL Oils are the best of the best. Here are a few tips to help you use them:

Some oils are hot, so dilute with a carrier such as coconut oil or YL’s V-6 complex when using on children, sensitive skin, or anytime you experience discomfort.
Do not drip essential oils into your ear canal or directly into your eyes. If you do get oils in your eye, stay calm and apply a carrier oil, not water.
When in doubt, dilute and apply to the bottoms of your feet!
Citrus oils can cause your skin to be more sensitive to UV rays. So apply citrus oils where the sun won’t be shining (or a tanning bed)!
Use glass or stainless steel when adding citrus oils to your water. Citrus oils can break down plastic and nobody wants to drink plastic!

So how can you use them?

Topically: Put a couple of drops right on your skin and rub it in. No need to be precise. Just get those oils on! Worried about sensitive skin or a hot oil? Dilute it with a carrier oil (grapeseed oil, coconut oil, Young Living’s V-6 oil, etc.) and apply to the bottoms of the feet.
Aromatically: Use them in the diffuser OR inhale them from diffuser jewelry, your hands, or directly from the bottle! It’s that simple!
Internally: Young Living has a special line of oils that are safe to ingest called Vitality oils. Put a few drops into an empty vegetable capsule, a cup of tea, or a glass of water. You can even cook & bake with them! Try some Lemon Vitality in your yogurt or a drop of Nutmeg & Cinnamon Bark into your coffee grounds before brewing. So yummy!

Concocting your own sprays is a great way to eliminate the harmful chemicals found in commercial room and fabric sprays. Some of these chemicals, like BHT, Propylene Glycol, Linalool, and Benzaldehyde(just to name a few) have been found to be neurotoxins, endocrine disruptors, and irritators of the eyes, skin, and lungs. Do a quick Google search on the dangers of these chemicals and commercial room sprays in general. You’ll be surprised!

Essential oils are a charming alternative and can be used in any area of your life. But before we jump into the potions and brews recipes, take heed of this wizardly tip! Always keep Copaiba on hand - it has the power to enhance and magnify the effects of another oil.

For each spray you will need:

- 4 oz glass spray bottle
- 2 Tbsp witch hazel
- Distilled water

- 15-30 drops of essential oils

Add witch hazel and essential oils to glass bottle. Top off with distilled water. Shake well before each use.

Next, let’s make some powerful potion rollers!

Mixing up your own potion rollers is not only fun, but also a great way to stretch your oils (and $$$) to make them last longer. Simply pick out your favorite roller recipe and follow the directions below.

Every wizard and witch needs some aroma power to diffuse the situation… but remember earlier when we talked about the harmful effects of room sprays? Candles rank right up there with sprays! Yuck!

“Most scented candles use synthetic fragrances and dyes that give off dangerous VOCs even at room temperature. Commonly emitted VOCs related to the scent in candles include formaldehyde, petroleum distillates, limonene, alcohol and esters. These harmful chemicals can cause health problems ranging from headaches, dizziness and allergy symptoms to asthma attacks, respiratory tract infections and even cancer.”*
