This past week, I filled you all in on my experience with Young Living Oils–at least, that was most of my experience.
I wrote about how I had been basically the Queen of Skeptics, hearing about essential oils and Young Living for years, but basically thinking that there was no way that they could really work.
I mean – oils–heal?
Come on.
Well, there’s more that I’d like to share and I hope to–soon.
However, I thought it was high time that we have a fun giveaway on Whole New Mom. (Sorry I haven’t done many. I promise there will be more where this came from!)
Truth be told, it’s been a fairly stressful week, and I could use a little fun. You too?
There seemed to be no better time than the present.
Because everyone loves FREE 
!
First of all, if you missed either of those posts, you really do need to go back and have a look. And besides just the posts, the comments have some fascinating information in them as well. I love how much my readers have to share – even when the conversation gets a little “dicey.”
As long as it is respectful it’s OK with me to have a little controversy.
You can see what I mean in:
- Are Essential Oils a Scam? ~ A Skeptic Looks at Thieves Oil and
- Are Essential Oils a Scam? ~ Peppermint, Wintergreen and More
And if you’re into controversy 
, then you really need to check out:
Now, onto the giveaway.
Today I am giving away to one lucky reader… 15 ml bottle of Young Living’s Peppermint Oil.
Of course, you can use this Peppermint Oil to flavor foods and beverages!
You can see in that second post on YL’s oils all the things that I have used Peppermint Oil for. They include:
- upset stomach
- digestive issues
- muscle aches
- growing pains
- headaches
Besides that, other possible applications include:
- Rheumatism / arthritis
- respiratory infections (pneumonia, etc.)
- obesity
- viral infections (herpes, cold sores, etc.)
- fungal infections / candida
- digestive problems
- skin conditions (itchy skin, varicose veins, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis

According to The Complete Book of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy, (one of the resource oil books that I own), it is also good for:
- flatulence
- toothache
- fatigue
- keeping mice, fleas and ants away!
By the way, if you are using or decide to use essential oils, this book is great. TONS of info on how to use and what to use them for:

Lavender! – I make my own laundry detergent and think that this would be a wonderful addition to wash our bedding in.
Awesome!
Thieves Oil
I love the whole basic kit! Lemon, Thieves, Lavender… <3
I’ve been wanting to try the peppermint for so many things and the valerian to help with sleep.
Thanks for the opportunity! Peppermint or Thieves for me! Love the peppermint, but haven’t tried the Thieves.

I love Thieves Oil. Works great!
I would love to get the Endoflex. I think women are hit with endocrine imbalances a lot more often than they know (I sure have… it has taken an allopath and naturopath to get me on the right track). Would love to try that one and see who it works with my current protocol.
Well the peppermint was the one I wanted to try the most, cause of my headaches (think they have been made worse by the bed we got cause it’s out gassing…hopefully, since it was bothering my back, and the place agreed to exchange it for a different kind, that will stop, although I do get them now and then anyway…just not as often) so the next one I wanted to try was the Thieves. I’d read about the thieves formula a while back, only it was talking about the herbs made into a tincture…but the essential oil would be nicer I’d think.

Did you see my post on Thieves? I think you’d really like it
. Thanks for entering!
I’m interested in trying the Citronella to make my own mosquito repellent.
I heard about Thieves just a couple weeks prior to reading your blog post on it. I’m interested in that one, the Peppermint and the Deep Relief.
What a fun giveaway! Peppermint and lavender both sound really nice!
I love YL’s peppermint oil! I brush my teeth with it daily. It’s so potent, all you need is one drop! Also is good in homemade hot cocoa!
I really want to try the Thieves oil!

I just discovered peppermint oil and the magic it does for a headache! I would love to try the thieves oil, I’ve heard wonderful things about it!
I would like the lavender i believe. I does adds wonderful smell to my homemade laundry detergent and it is a wonderful addition to my little Bruise Buddies (rice socks) for those little bumps all kids get.
Peppermint oil!
I have chronic pain and continual headaches due to my autoimmune disease, and I prefer to avoid taking meds for daily pain and headaches if I can hack it. I am hoping that peppermint oil will take the edge off for me! 
Interested in the Thieves Oil and the Peppermint. Thanks for the giveaway! cokelush at gmail
This would be so awesome to try! I’ve been looking for the best natural way to help headaches, and it sounds like this is a good option to get started with

Where did you read about that? Interesting!
Here is the article:

I would love to try thieves oil…have heard lots of good things about it!
I would definitely like to try Thieves Oil. It sounds so helpful!
I’ve looked at your catalog. I know Eucalyptus is probably in everyone’s medicine cabinet, but I haven’t tried it yet. I’d love to try one of them and the Lemon oil.
Peppermint Oil sounds like it could be very helpful!
I’d love to try the thieves oil… your post was very informational about it.
thanks,
Lori G.
I have heard a lot about the thieves oil lately and I’m intrigued with that one.
Peace and Calming. Because we all need that!
It seems to help my son a lot. Dealing w a lot of anxiety right now so we’re using it daily.
Very interesting, so many to choose from. I am actually interested in this and will be getting the book. I wonder if there is something that would help an inactive thyroid.
I’ve read EndoFlex, nutmeg and myrtle are helpful for thyroid issues. Stay in touch! I am working on metal detox for that. And diet change. Check out my adrenal fatigue post for links to my practitioner if you like.
I am really interested in learning about essential oils.

After reading some of your essential oil suggestions, I really want to try peppermint because I’m pregnant and get frequent headaches! And I also read somewhere else that sniffing a few drops of it on a handkerchief can help with the morning sickness: that would be great!

I would like to try Thieves Oil
What is Thieves oil used for? We may have a mold issue in our sunroom even though it’s not visible to the eye. I’ve heard diffusing oils may help. I have severe asthma and allergies and am concerned. I vote Peppermint if it will help. Thanks for your help.
Here is my post on Thieves so you can see what I use it for. I am really impressed with what I hear about mold issues and Thieves but I haven’t used it for that yet.
I make my own detergent and cleaning supplies….this would be a great smell in addition to the vinegar I use!
Totally Thieves!
Lavender sounds lovely!
I’m completely new at this, so I’m thinking Peppermint is the place I would start. Thieves might be next, but I feel like I need to know more.
Hi Samantha. I’d be happy to correspond as I am able on the oils. I think you are right on w/ where to start. Lavender is another broad use oil. But I wouldn’t be w/o the Thieves now. Take care!
Hi Adrienne,
I am a new reader to your blog as of a couple months ago. I enjoy so much of what you write. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with all of us.
I would like to try the Thieves oil. I have not used it but I do have some lavender and tea tree oil. I enjoy them for many applications.
Blessings, Lydia

the Australian Blue sounds like something i want to try.
Love thieves, use it for everything but especially love to add a drop or two to my tea if I feel I might be fighting a cold and panaway is amazing stuff too!! My husband LOVES and will not be without the dentarome toothpaste (can’t remember now if its plus or ultra, its the most expensive one of course
) I like it lots too but I’m too cheap to use it so I make my own from coconut oil, bkng soda and thieves oil.
I am so intrigued by the Thieves oil! I really want to try it.
I wonder if I can use this oil for my purple under eyes zones…
Cindy, I did a little investigating to find out what to do about dark circles under the eyes. I haven’t tried these, so I can’t say, but one recommendation I read is:
So it seems looking at other oils would be a better option. Hope that helps.
would like to try thieves, have a sinus problem right now, would like to see if its really works,
