Make your own Joy Essential Oil Blend - DIY Recipe and Uses

Wow, the past month (April/May 2015) for me has been super overwhelming, with kids being sick and my dad being out of town and having open heart surgery, birthday parties, traveling, vacations, and stress at work....... wholly moley, I am just exhausted physically and emotionally and have been feeling so down in the dumps. I've heard of the Joy Essential Oil blend and thought I should mix some up and give it a try to get myself in better spirits.

** My blogging on essential oils took a back seat since my youngest daughter got very sick just after her 1 year birthday back in May. She was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis which is an autoimmune disease triggered by the vaccines she received. It caused her immune system to attack her spinal cord causing paralysis of her limbs and torso.  For more information on my daughter's illness you can visit her page at www.GoFundMe.com/MaggieDawn. 

I had this saved as a draft just needing some final edits in my files since about April, 2015. The good news is that she is recovering and I am slowly getting back into things I used to do. It's been a long six months but I will say that I had my oils with me even during our 2 week hospital stay and at home to help us get through our tough times.


Our 'go to' oils have been; Peace and Calming, Lavander, Jojoba Oil, Frankinscense, and Theives. I haven't been able to mix up the Joy blend but I will be ordering up the few that I need and enjoying Joy as it has been much needed and I'm sure it would have been handy to have. 

Joy Essential Oil Blend promotes the emotions of love, happiness and confidence. It helps us release emotional blocks of love, self-love and sharing love. It also helps us release grief and sorrow that is stored in the heart and lungs according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Joy (TM) is an essential oil blend by Young Living Oils.

It is a blend of ten different oils. 

• Ylang Ylang -has a long history in skin and hair care products, particularly in Asia, where it is used to promote luxuriant hair. It also restores confidence and equilibrium.
• Bergamot- includes soothing digestion and combating stress. The essential oil has a calming aroma which relaxes the mind and body.
• Geranium - helps you relax and beatify your skin! Used traditionally to support the circulatory and nervous systems, a great deal of its strength lies in its ability to revitalize body tissues.

• Roman Chamomile - creates inner peace. It is a calming oil that resonates well with adults, children and animals! Soothing to all types of skin, it is used extensively in Europe in skin preparations. Roman chamomile is also beneficial when added to massage oil for relief of muscle discomfort after exercise.
