I suffered from hypothyroidism for years, and while I feel amazing now thanks to the essential oils and crystals that helped heal my thyroid, this journey also led me to create Lula May Design and Ivy + Light. I still take very good care of my thyroid, and I'm very aware of how important my thyroid health is to continuing to enjoy life to its fullest.

What has helped me with my thyroid healing journey?
Every day, I use Endoflex from Young Living, which is a blend of essential oils that is fantastic for all of my hormones and hormone balance in general. I rub it on my throat around my thyroid, since that's my hormone secretor of most importance to me.
However, you can create your own thyroid support essential oil blend utilizing what’s on hand.
Here’s a quick & easy D.I.Y Hypothyroid Support essential oil recipe:
20 drops each of spearmint, cedarwood, lemongrass, copaiba, clove, and lavender.
Add all these essential oils into a roller bottle for convenient application.
Allow the essential oils to synergize overnight.
Next day, fill the rest of the bottle up with fractionated coconut oil.
Optional: Use our Blue Lace Agate or Balance Energy Crystal Roller Bottle to gain the benefits of these healing crystals as well.
