🧄 No Herbs? No Problem! The Vitality Oil Switch That Shocked My Taste Tester

Did you know you can ingest some Young Living Essential Oils?

That’s right—because these oils are straight-up plant juice with absolutely NOTHING added, they’re safe to consume. Look for the white Vitality label—those are the ones made for internal use. You can cook with them, add them to water, even drop a bit straight in your mouth (if you're brave like that!).

Now, let me tell you a little story.

Being Italian and having learned how to cook from my mom, tomato sauce has always been a sacred thing in my kitchen. It’s a process—a rich symphony of herbs and spices that you don’t mess with lightly. But one day, I decided to experiment. (Spoiler: it was risky.)  All of my usual herbs—except onion, garlic, and salt—happen to come in Vitality form. So I swapped the dried spices and herbs for drops of essential oils. I didn’t tell my husband. Because let’s be honest—he’s got a pretty picky palate, and I wasn’t in the mood for a mid-dinner lecture.

He smelled the sauce simmering all day. Nothing unusual there. But when it came time to eat, he looked up and said:
“What did you do different to the sauce?”

Uh-oh.

I played it cool:
“Why, what’s wrong with it?”

“Nothing,” he said. “It’s probably the best sauce you’ve made.”

Mic drop. Victory. Validation.

Of course, I spilled the beans (or the oils, in this case). He didn’t believe me until I showed him the pot—no visible herbs or spices. Just onion and garlic. The rest? Essential oils.

Now, this story has nothing to do with the recipe I’m about to share… except that it shows how natural, powerful, and downright magical these Vitality oils really are.

I’ve been using them for years, so I’m comfortable experimenting. But if you’re new to oiling and want to start small, this summer sipper is the perfect intro.

Enjoy a refreshing twist on a classic beverage. This lemonade recipe includes honey and Lavender Vitality™ essential oil for an added touch of sophistication and depth.
