Okay, now that Fall has officially started, your Fall Wellness plan needs to get into gear, pronto! We use our oils, supplements, and NingXia Red all-year long to stay above that wellness line, but there’s a little something I like to add during the fall & winter months as a super booster. It’s Elderberry Syrup! Just do some research on what all Elderberry Syrup can do for you and your family. Then… add our amazing oils to it for a power-packed combo! Here’s the recipe I use. I follow the Instant Pot version, and it’s super easy!
Elderberry Syrup Recipe
I added my vitality essential oils to add an extra dose of amazing to our elderberry syrup. Just a drop or two of each, plus extra drops of Lemon, because… yum.
*Thieves – This is a seriously amazing blend of clove, lemon, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus radiata and rosemary. Google its power!
* Nutmeg – Besides tasting and smelling awesome, this oil encourages optimal digestive function, supports joints and promotes cardiovascular health.
*Clove – This is super crazy high in antioxidants!
*Ginger – Part of keeping the immune system in tip-top shape is keeping digestion optimal. Over 90% of the immune system resides in the gut, so using ginger, with its ability to stimulate and regulate digestion, only seems natural, right?
*Cinnamon Bark – Another oil already found in the Thieves blend, cinnamon bark is a powerful support to the immune system...Antioxidants off the charts!
*Lemon - Also already in Thieves, but it tastes yummy, and it's great for the immune system. I add extra drops of it, too, about 10.
*Copaiba - An under talked about oil if you ask me! It’s made with the gum resin tapped from the copaiba tree native to Brazil and is known for its beta-caryophyllene content and sweet aroma. Copaiba Vitality has a pleasant, complex taste, and when taken internally, it can promote overall wellness!
*Frankincense – One of the gifts given to Jesus by the Three Wise Men, frankincense has been used for centuries. You should google Frankincense oil. Just do it.

This is the recipe I used - it was sooooo easy!
1 cup dried black elderberries
4 cups of water
YL Vitality Essential oils (cinnamon bark, nutmeg, ginger, frankincense, thieves, clove, copaiba)
1 cup local raw honey
Pour water into a medium saucepan and add elderberries (do not add honey or EOs)
Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce to a simmer for about 45 minutes to an hour until the liquid has reduced by almost half. At that point, remove from heat and let cool enough to be handled. Mash the berries carefully using a spoon or other flat utensil. Pour through a strainer into a bowl.
Discard the elderberries and let the liquid cool to lukewarm. When it is no longer hot, add 1 cup of honey, and a drop of each essential oil and stir well. (I added extra Copaiba to mine)
When honey is well mixed into the elderberry mixture, pour the syrup into a pretty quart-sized mason jar or 16-ounce glass bottle of some kind.
Take straight or add to yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes, tea...and ENJOY the flavor and taste of wellness entering your body. ♥️

Instant Pot Version
- Put dried elderberries in the Instant Pot.
- Add 4 cups filtered or bottled water.
- Close the Instant Pot with the valve in the “SEALING” position, then cook on manual pressure for 10 minutes.
- Do a quick pressure release, remove the lid, and set to “SAUTE”
- Let it boil for about 10 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half.
- Pour through a strainer, mashing on the berries with a spatula until all the liquid is released.
- Let cool to 115 degrees F or less (to keep from overheating the honey) and stir in 1 cup of raw, local honey and the essential oils.
- Keep in a jar or bottle in the fridge. I use an empty NingXia Red bottle.
Recommended “dosage” is 1 Tbsp. per day as a preventive health measure. This same dosage can be increased to once every 2-6 hours if you feel your immune system has been compromised. (not recommended for children under 2 years of age due to honey as an ingredient)
I’ve had some questions this week about oils and dogs, and guess what YL just posed to their blog? This handy post! Thanks, YL!
Our latest online class is ready! Did you know that YL has an entire line of oils and products just for your kiddos?! It’s the Kidscents line!
Do you often ask yourself, “Does it work?” and “Is it safe?” when you are looking into products for your children?
What if you could help your kid’s tummy ache in minutes or mend a ‘boo boo’ and never have to worry about whether it’s safe or not?
As parents, we naturally want what is best for our children. We don’t want to worry about calling poison control when our kids get into our “things.” But we also want it to WORK! There’s nothing worse than feeling helpless when your kiddo is uncomfortable.
I discovered a company that gives me products that WORK and are completely safe and natural. And guess what? They’re fast-acting and effective too, thanks to all the natural ingredients. #PlantBased #DoubleBonus
If you are a parent, stepparent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, or anyone who has littles in your life in any way, shape, or form, you can learn more about these products and how you can use them to keep your kiddos feeling great! Go HERE to access the class. Feel free to share the link with your friends, too! Let’s learn together!
It’s getting close to last call for the September freebies!! Don’t miss out! #FREEisbest
Stay Oily!
