Life can get stressful, especially when you are trying to juggle more than one hat. In the morning, you’re a parent, then you are a worker or a boss for the majority of your waking day. When you get home, you go back to being a parent and a spouse, which is a lovely way to live, but it can take a toll on us.
There are times when it gets to be a bit too much, and we want to unwind and let life’s daily stresses melt away. Young Living, a company that specializes in aromatherapy and essential oils, created a blend that is intended to relax and benefit your body. We are going to take a closer look at this product and its Vitality version.

The Company
Young Living is the top producer and distributor of essential oils in North America. Their products are harvests from the best growers and extracted in top-of-the-line distilleries. While they are based in Utah, they have offices located throughout the world including Australia, Canada, Japan and Europe.
The came up with their own testing process, which they titled Seed to Seal®. It enables them to watch every oil start from growth as a plant, to extraction, to the time when they put the cap on the little amber bottle.
Types Of Oils
Currently, they have a wide selection of essential oils from Lavender to Lemon and from Frankincense to Fennel. Not only do they sell singles, which are the pure extracts of one type of oil, this company has designed blends that are intended for specific purposes like Thieves, for cleaning, and PanAway, for muscle aches.
Vitality®
Another version of this blend is sold under the name Vitality®, which is a series of oils this company created intended for internal consumption. If it says Vitality® on the label then you can put a drop in your water or use it in recipes.
The Vitality version of DiGize has the same powerful essential oils as the original version but is sold to aid the consumer with digestive issues. This is because every oil in this blend is beneficial to our digestive tracts.
DiGize and Digize Vitality
When this blend was created, the idea was to give a sense of calm to the consumer. Also, it aids in digestion when consumed. This mixture is unique in its scent and is comprised of several essential oils. I’ve listed them below with a brief explanation of their benefits.
Uses And Benefits
Besides the worth of benefits we’ve listed above, this blend was created with the idea to calm the inhaler in mind. It is said that out of every ten workers, six have reported feeling their workplace stress rise, and 80% of workers interviewed said they need help managing stress.
And when stress is involved, our digestion is also affected and, in this case, will compound what you’re already feeling.
When you read statistics like that, it makes you wonder why not just give a little bottle of oil a try, whether you want the one inhaled or consumed. The ingredients, the only the way the company does it, creates a blend that not only brings about a feeling of harmony but one that’s rich and spicy and pleasing to smell.
Below, we are going to go over each of the essential oils used to create this blend. After reading it, you will see the power in this blend rise with each ingredient.
Tarragon
The first ingredient on our list will stimulate blood circulation and combat bad smells. It gives the nervous system a much-needed boost and eases that arthritis pain.
It stimulates digestive juices for secretion and helps break apart nutrients in the food you eat. On top of all that, tarragon also promotes peristaltic movement in the intestines, which means it helps it move through the digestive tract.
Ginger
Our next ingredient is powerful when used to treat infections and acts as an anti-inflammatory. It also works as an antioxidant and promotes heart health. It does wonders for respiratory issues, and it relieves anxiety.
This oil is also a great aid when feeling nauseous or experiencing an upset stomach.
Peppermint
Extracted from the leaves of this herb, this oil will relieve your aching muscles, work as an insect repellent, ease joint pains and headaches, treats stress, and promotes skin health.
This can also suppress your appetite, which can be helpful if you are like me and have a tendency to overeat. It’s great for bad breath and is a potent germ fighter, some of which wind up in our digestive tract. It is also an anti-inflammatory, which is probably why it works so well for irritable bowel syndrome.
Juniper
Pulled from a berry with the same name, this addition eases cramps and cleans the blood. It stimulates the cells and accelerates the healing process. It has been used to battle dandruff as well as eczema.
This essential oil can relieve you of bloating, prompt enzymes in your system that help with digestion, and help break down fats, nutrients, and proteins. It also helps with absorption of these needed nutrients as well as help clean your liver. Just when you thought that was all there’s more. Juniper is also an enormous aid with heartburn.
Fennel
This oil purifies the blood and aids with wounds. It eases spasms and promotes stomach health. Fennel works as a stimulator and treats wounds. Your spleen will benefit from a little fennel oil and it will help treat that cough.
It stops digestive muscle spasms, lessens gas, remedies constipation, and eases symptoms from irritable bowel syndrome.
Lemongrass
With an earthy scent, this oil eases headaches, reduces fevers, gives the inhaler a boost of energy and works well as a room deodorizer. It’s also a sedative and an antidepressant.
This oil serves as an aid for flatulence, fights infections, and stops microbial growth. It works as a strong detoxifier and can pull out all the bad stuff from your bladder, liver, kidneys, and other organs that deal with digestion. Lemongrass also helps with gastric ulcers and eases digestive aches like nausea and loose stools.
Anise
Next, we have an oil that protects and heals wounds, treats spasms, and eases arthritis. It works as a decongestant and relieves respiratory issues.
This can also ease indigestion and help with gas elimination.
Patchouli
While easing depression, this oil will also guard against infection. It accelerates the healing process and reduces fevers. It guards and kills insects and works as an anti-inflammatory.
As an additive for digestion, patchouli can ease stomach cramps and the limbic system
When Combined
It’s when these essential oils come together, it creates a fragrance that is pleasing to the smeller. Each of these ingredients has its own unique ability to calm, when they are put together in one bottle, it can take you on a relaxational journey that is hard to resist.
The Scent & Flavor
This blend is a mixture of exotic spices and is as unique as they come. It has an herby scent as well, which makes sense. Between the earthiness of tarragon, the spice of ginger, the freshness of peppermint, and the soft citrus of lemongrass, this blend should appeal to the noses of many.
As to how it tastes, it’s described as refreshing and spicy. It leaves a distinct taste that will surely entice your taste buds.
How To Use It
This regular DiGize is intended for diffusion or topical use alone. It is recommended to put a few drops of this into your favorite diffuser when you are feeling like you need to unwind. The product site suggests using it in a car diffuser on long car rides to avoid restlessness.
As for using it as a topical agent, it is important that you dilute it well with a good carrier like jojoba or fractionated coconut oil. Young Living suggests you put one drop of DiGize in with 1 drop of their V-6
Vegetable Oil before applying it to the skin.
As for the Vitality series, this can be used in a variety of ways. You can add a drop or two of a diluted version to a capsule or a tall glass of water or a cup of tea. You can add honey if you fancy it sweeter, or you can blend it with another Vitality product to enhance the power of both.
Essential Oils And Safety
We would like to take this time to mention that it is always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional before ingesting anything. While our mission is to help you achieve a better mind, body, and soul, we are not doctors and always advise our readers to use caution when consuming any oils.
Can I Use It To Calm My Children?
There are certain essential oils that are not safe for use by children. At least, they are recommended you use them with care and professional advice. As for what Young Living has to say about DiGize, they recommend it be kept out of their reach.
What If I’m On Medication, Pregnant Or Nursing?
Young living recommends that if you fall into any of the above categories, then you should consult your doctor before using this product. Also, if you put some on your skin, avoid going into the sun for twelve hours.
Young Living DiGize Reviews
While the regular version of this oil is promoted as a relaxing blend some consumers claim that it has helped them with their depression. It seems folks who purchased this product are happy with it.
Still, when checking out the reviews for the standard DiGize product, consumers still couldn’t help but mention the amazing effects this product had with their digestive issues. One reviewer says that it has aided with her Irritable Bowel Syndrome. If you know anything about IBS, it can be a side effect of anxiety or endless worry. So it makes sense that this product could aid in that area.
Other reviewers say that it has helped them with their heartburn and another said it has eased her colitis. To be fair, there was one review that said it caused a burn on the skin when diluted so be sure to check the dilution method given by Young Living and follow accordingly. Also, be sure to do a patch test on a small part of your arm.
For the most part, though, the reviews of this product as a digestive aid is high. When it comes to choosing a distributor, always make sure it’s a reputable one since some folks claim that their product was opened when they received it. Also, not all people are sold by the smell, which is understandable
To Conclude
I started out this piece intending on reviewing DiGize as a relaxing agent in aromatherapy. Still, through my research, I found that it also comes in a Vitality version, which is ingested and intended to aid with digestion. Whatever you choose to do with this oil, I must reiterate that there are cautions so be sure to follow the directions well and ask a professional.
Have you put a few drops of DiGize in your diffuser or used it as a digestive aid? If so, leave us a comment below. If you know someone who could benefit from this information please pass it along.
