The Ultimate Guide to Vitality Essential Oils

Vitality Essential Oils Created by Young Living for Dietary or Culinary Use

What's your favorite Vitality Essential Oil? I love jade lemon, orange, tangerine and lime! ​

Perfect for adding flavor to your favorite foods or using as dietary supplements, the Vitality dietary essential oil line gives you the freedom to share and explore some of our best-loved essential oils in a variety of nutritious and delicious ways.

With four distinct categories—Herb, Spice, Citrus, and Supplement—we invite you to explore Vitality dietary essential oils.
​
You can use the Vitality line to create dietary and culinary oil blends. I love to make personalized capsules with a mixture of essential oils. I love the fact that I have about 40 different Vitality Essential Oils and I can customize the recipe in my capsules for any given day.

There is also a variety of ways to work these Vitality Essential Oils into your daily regimen, creating capsules, adding essential oils to cooking recipes, and I love to enjoy the bursting flavors in my water or beverage of choice.

Let me show you what I mean. Here are just a few of my favorite Vitality Essential Oils that I use as dietary supplements and how they optimize wellness. 

• Spearmint - Spearmint (Mentha spicata) Vitality™ essential oil is treasured for its unique minty flavor, as well as its ability to help calm tummies* and support normal digestion* as a dietary supplement. With naturally occurring menthol, carvone, and limonene, Spearmint Vitality essential oil can add a cooling effect to foods that is both pleasant and beneficial.
• Lemongrass - Fresh lemongrass has this unmistakably crisp, citrusy scent that you might recognize from Thai and Southeast Asian cuisine. However, the fresh herb is hard to find, which makes the essential oil a perfect substitute in Tom Ka soup and green Thai curry. Beyond adding it in recipes, you can take Lemongrass Vitality as a dietary supplement for supporting your digestion and overall health.*
• Orange - Supports a daily wellness regimen. Adds a refreshing burst of flavor to water and culinary dishes.
• Lemon- Pressed from the fresh rinds of the fruit, Lemon Vitality is a delicious essential oil that has that wonderfully nostalgic taste and smell of lemon drop candy. It’s a great substitute in any recipe calling for fresh lemon juice, rind, or flavoring—without all the hassle of zesting, grating, or juicing. 
• Grapefruit - Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) Vitality™ is known for its invigorating citrus scent and delicious, tart taste. Grapefruit Vitality essential oil can also support weight-management programs when taken internally and paired with a healthy diet and exercise.* Add Grapefruit Vitality oil to water to give your drinks a little zing, or add a hint of citrus by incorporating it into culinary recipes.
• Citrus Fresh- Contains Orange, Tangerine, Grapefruit, Lemon, Mandarin, and Spearmint essential oils
• Jade Lemon - Jade Lemon™ Vitality™ has a unique lemon-lime taste that is a favorite beverage infusion. When used in culinary applications, Jade Lemon Vitality adds a wonderfully bright flavor and invigorates the senses. A surprisingly delicious ingredient in baked treats, Jade Lemon Vitality can liven up any recipe that can benefit from a citrusy kick of character.
• Thieves - Keeping up with your busy schedule means keeping up with your immune wellness. Stay off the sidelines by supporting your immune system* with 1–2 drops of our proprietary Thieves Vitality essential oil in a cup of hot tea. A blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils, Thieves Vitality has a warm, spicy flavor that you’ll love. Plus, the Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil in Thieves Vitality may help support respiratory health when taken internally.*

I often include three drops of the following in a wellness capsule: Vitality Lemon, Vitality Frankincense, and Vitality Thieves then I fill the rest of the capsule with fractionated coconut oil. I like to take these during the school year to just keep the cooties from school away! 

Also, what is not pictured here are Vitality Lime and Vitality Tangerine, these are truly my favorite Vitality Essential Oils for all year long! They are the perfect summer blends but also assist you all year long. I enjoy adding Lemon and Tangerine to my water or seltzer for some extra flavor. I admit that I am not the most well behaved when it comes to hydration, however using these oils in my water has allowed me to improve significantly. Remember, hydration is important!  Between teaching and maintaining a high activity level the citrus oils have allowed me to really turn into a water drinking enthusiast.  These two must be in my purse because I don't leave home without them.  

• Lime - Brings a unique citrus flavor and delicious zing to any food or beverage. Adding a few drops of Lime Vitality essential oil to your dishes is the perfect way to elevate your cooking. Whether you’re stirring it into drinks for a bright burst of flavor or giving your food a little extra citrus zip, Lime Vitality essential oil is a welcome kick of summer that you can enjoy year-round.
• Tangerine- One of the sweetest Vitality oils. Bringing complex citrus notes to savory dishes and desserts, Tangerine Vitality essential oil is a bright, tangy addition in the kitchen. When you want to give your recipes an extra kick of something unexpected, try reaching for Tangerine Vitality.

I have had some difficulty regulating the pH in my body (some common signs/symptoms are headache, fatigue, sleepiness, lack of appetite) which has had quite a bit to do with the beginnings of my essential oil journey. Further, imbalanced skin pH has been correlated to acne and skin blemishes.

I noticed very quickly (after using Lime Vitality in my water everyday) some amazing positive changes with my skin and nails. Hydration is important! 

When using any of the oils from the citrus family (orange, lemon, grapefruit, and lime) use a glass or stainless container! Citrus oils are believed to break down modern plastics which is bad news for health! On our supplies and tools page, we have a list of recommended items to use under the section "Using Vitality Essential Oils" to help you.
