Hi Everyone, let me start out as this may not be relevant to you, but you may have friends or family member you care about that it may pertain to.
I don't usually do this kind of blog, but I was a pretty alarmed when I saw this article from life steps, as to just how harmful the chemicals that are in some of the products that are used everyday, I knew I had to share! This is not just for intimacy, but for massages too.

YES, (See the attached articles links), some lubricant ingredients also have the potential to cause longer term chronic health effects including cancer and reproductive problems from repeated exposure over many years.
Here's an healthier alternative!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
As the gatekeepers of our homes we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products and create healthy habits for ourselves and families. Join us this month as we make a simple swap with a big impact. Ditch personal lubricants and use Young Living massage oils instead!
When it comes to physical intimacy, there are many things that can help or hinder us in the process. One simple way we can enhance our experience with products that don't harm our health is with Young Living massage oils. For use as a personal lubricant, Relaxation or Sensation Massage Oil would be a great choice.
Sensation is formulated to create a beautiful smell that is profoundly romantic, refreshing, and arousing. It amplifies the excitement of experiencing new heights of self-expression and awareness. This blend is also nourishing and hydrating for the skin. The unique blend of essential oils can encourage and amplify an atmosphere of love, excitement, and affection.
* Geranium essential oil is commonly used in perfumes for its uplifting aroma, and it can help balance hormones as well.
* Jasmine essential oil helps you develop a broader perspective with its romantic floral aroma—a very feminine aroma that embraces and exults the sacred masculine—and has been revered for centuries as a symbol of love and purity, harmonizing opposites to promote wholeness.
* Ylang Ylang essential oil has a calming aroma that sets the mood for romance and helps enhance emotional connection.
Relaxation massage oil can help restore a state of calm and invites tranquility to the mind, body, and spirit. The pure vegetable oils blended with essential oils are moisturizing and nourishing to help soothe all skin types. This calming massage oil combines some of our favorite essential oils from across the globe
* Lavender helps promote feelings of calm and relaxation.
* Ylang Ylang has a calming aroma that sets the mood for romance and helps enhance emotional connection.
* Spearmint and Peppermint are energizing and uplifting to the body and mind.
* Bergamot and Tangerine promote feelings of calm and connection to others.
WHY MAKE THE SWITCH
Unfortunately both conventional and organic lubricants contain ingredients that can cause harm long after their use. These ingredients are toxic to vaginal tissue and disrupt the sensitive vagnial microbiome (balance of microorganisms that naturally inhabit the vagina). Exposure to these ingredients can lead to discomfort, irritation, and increased risk of infection - even from short term exposure. Some lubricant ingredients also have the potential to cause chronic health issues including cancer and reproductive problems from repeated exposure.
In fact, there is growing consensus among scientists (check out the link) that the vast majority of lubricants need to be reformulated to be safer than they are now. Ingredients found in common lubricants that have known health consequences include:
* Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Ethylparaben: Preservative chemicals that can irritate vaginal mucous membranes, contribute to genital rashes, and potentially cause fertility problems and endocrine disruption.
* Chlorhexidine Gluconate: A disinfectant chemical that can kill strains of lactobacillus, which is a bacteria that is necessary for a healthy microbiome
* Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclotetrasiloxane: commonly found in silicone-based lubricants, these substances are linked to reproductive harm and uterine cancer in animal studies. Almost no research has ever been conducted to examine the long term impacts of vaginal exposure to these chemicals in women.
* Natural and artificial flavor, Fragrance: Flavors, fragrances, and aromas can include a mix of chemicals which can cause irritation and allergies

PRODUCT alternative OPTIONS
* Sensation Massage Oil: a blend of Coriander, Ylang Ylang, Bergamot, Jasmine, and Geranium that is romantic, refreshing and arousing, amplifying the excitement of new heights of self-expression and awareness.
* Relaxation Massage Oil: combines Tangerine, Lavender, Spearmint, Ylang Ylang, Peppermint, Coriander, and Bergamot essential oils for their relaxing, restorative properties.
* Dragon Time Massage Oil: a soothing combination of Fennel, Clary Sage, Marjoram, Lavender, Yarrow, and Jasmine that is perfect for supporting women.
* Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil: tones and nourishes the skin with a blend of Grapefruit, Cypress, Juniper, Cedarwood, and Clary Sage essential oils
* OrthoEase Massage Oil: a blend of Wintergreen, Peppermint, Juniper, Eucalyptus Globulus, Lemongrass, Marjoram, Thyme, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Vetiver essential oils that warm and soothe fatigued muscles for relief
(I use this one in my Muscle Roller Bottle everyday)
* OrthoSport Massage Oil: combines Oregano, Peppermint, Thyme, and Wintergreen to give a cooling sensation when used with a soothing massage, specifically following strenuous physical activity
TO USE:
Use your massage oil of choice in place of a personal lubricant for intimacy. There is always the option to further dilute the massage oil with V-6 carrier to test the area(s) or when making the switch. Note that OrthoEase and OrthoSport contain hot oils that have a warming or tingling sensation when applied to skin.

Hi again, I have some info that I knew I had to share with y'all, so....
Who wants to join me in wellness for the BER months (September, October, November, December)?
Let’s have a diffuser challenge! I diffuses everyday, all day long & set my diffusers to the max time they allow. (Each diffuser is different).
Did you know 1 hour of burning a candle does the same damage as 1 cigarette?? 🤢🤢
Did you know “just” diffusing oils encourages wellness?!
Yes, it can & it's called aromatherapy... your sense of smell is one of your 5 senses & it plays in a Big roll when smelling the Young Living Essential Oils.
🌱Our Sense of Smell
The brain's Olfactory Bulbs are "Hard-Wired" into the Limbic System, which is why the sense of smell can evoke such a powerful response. This system influences the Endocrine System as well as the Autonomic Nervous System.
The limbic system is often called the seat of all emotions.
Whether it's a Happy emotion you get when you smell Lavender & remember walking in the Lavender field in Utah.
Or
Some smell that triggers you into remembering an unpleasant event that happened in your past.
Maybe it's a smell that reminds you of a past love one.
Young Living has some great Essential Oils that may just help you release the triggers, or help ya remember the good times. 💜
Want to know more drop me a comment.
🌱Now that you're aware a little bit on how the Olfactory & Limbic system works, here's a graphics with oils/diffuser ideas. It also has the cost associated, to get started on your diffusing journey.
