ENDOFLEX AND YOUR ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
Did you ever wake up one day and say "Man, I sure wish I knew more about my Endocrine System!". No? So that wasn't how you rolled out of bed today? 🤣. Ya, me neither - BUT, your Endocrine System is rather essential to how key components of your body work, so it can't hurt to learn just a bit more about it.....like what makes that system a "system". Well, it all starts in the brain.....
"The endocrine system, made up of all the body's different hormones, regulates all biological processes in the body from conception through adulthood and into old age, including the development of the brain and nervous system, the growth and function of the reproductive system, as well as the metabolism and blood sugar levels. The female ovaries, male testes, and pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands are major constituents of the endocrine system". (EPA.gov, What is the Endocrine System)
Sheesh - it's pretty important! And the key to tie all or those body parts and glands together is your bodies hormones.
Did you know that Young Living has an essential oil created just to serve this? It's one of THE first oil blends that I purchased after I received my Young Living Starter Kit, and it's one that I will say I noticed immediate benefits from and still do to this day! I use this one daily, both topically and internally.
This oil comes in both of our labelling forms. Remember - same oil, different labels per the FDA.

Why this one? I have hypothyroidism, and one of things I sought out with my oils were ways to use them for my health. I looked up some ideas in my reference guide and learned about oils for the endocrine system, like this one.
As soon as I got this one in my hands, I put it on my thyroid, liver and Kidneys. On my very first day, my urine had a greenish tinge to it, but never again. I have always wondered what the oil cleared out that day lol! But better yet, my energy level almost immediately improved. I went from needing a daily nap to not needing one anymore! And this was before I became a daily NingXia Red drinker.
"Endo" (our little nickname for this in the oily world) is for the entire endocrine system, and if you look at that chart above, that's a lot! You can apply it topically to your desired gland (diluted is best) or your feet via the vitaflex charts, or you can ingest it.
I have learned that applying it "neat" to my thyroid was not a good idea - it's just too sensitive of an area, so I "dilute" this with a good fat carrier oil, such as Young Living's V6 or your favorite good fat oil such as olive or coconut. I also "dilute" when applying it to the liver and kidneys. (Never use water to "dilute" an essential oil) Since I've been on and still take daily meds since my pre-oil days, there is this war of the sludge in my liver from this and the topical use of this oil, so even diluted, when applying directly to the liver, it can be sensitive for me. My best place for application is actually between my big toe and the next one on both feet.
Endoflex is a blend consisting of sesame seed oil, sage, myrtle, spearmint, nutmeg, geranium, and German chamomile. It comes as a Vitality oil and a regular oil so it is safe for aromatic, topical, and internal use.
—Sage is good for strengthening the senses and the vital centers of the body. It helps support healthy metabolism, as well as the respiratory, reproductive, and nervous systems. It is also thought to be uplifting and can help aid against mental fatigue.
—Myrtle is supportive of the respiratory system, it is a highly effective decongestant. It is known to have antibacterial and antiseptic properties and it has been researched for its effects on glandular imbalances and can help normalize thyroid function. It is used by some people to help with meditation and is also great for your hair and skin.
—Spearmint is rich in carvone and d-limonene. It can help boost your metabolic rate, which is helpful for weight loss. It is also used for digestive and respiratory support.
—Geranium has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, sedative, and antidepressant properties. It can help stimulate your liver and pancreas to flush out toxins, as well as supporting your circulatory and nervous systems. It also revitalizes body tissues and is great for your skin!
—Nutmeg supports your adrenals, which give you your energy. It is used to support your nervous and endocrine system and has been shown to improve prostaglandin balance.
—German chamomile is made from the flower and contains chamazulene, a compound studied for its ability to support the body’s natural response to irritation and injury. It also is thought to help clear the mind, which benefits your ability to be patient and feel more at peace.
I apply this twice daily and also take a capsule of 3 or 4 drops every night before bed to assist my thyroid gland and allllll of those other hormones related to my Endocrine System. This stuff both smells and tastes yum -like Spearmint! You will enjoy both the smell AND taste of Endoflex!
