My Mineral Essence Journey: From Trash to Treasure
If you've ever tried Mineral Essence from Young Living, you know it’s...well, unique. Let’s be real—it's not exactly a fan favorite. But before you write it off completely (like I almost did), let me explain what it is and why your body may be craving it more than you realize.
What is Mineral Essence?
Mineral Essence is a powerful, balanced full-spectrum ionic mineral complex infused with essential oils like Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, and Peppermint. It’s designed to deliver a wide range of vital minerals that our bodies need to function optimally — especially trace minerals that are often missing from modern diets.
Our bodies rely on minerals for countless processes — from energy production and immune support to hormone balance and cognitive function. Unfortunately, mineral depletion in our soil means that even healthy diets may lack these essential nutrients. That's where Mineral Essence comes in.
But…there’s a catch. Its taste is strong — and let’s just say, not everyone’s cup of tea (including mine at first!).
My Confession: From Trash to Treasure
I’ll be honest — my first experience with Mineral Essence was a disaster. After one taste, I tossed the bottle straight into the trash. Gone. Done. I wanted no part of it.
It had been sitting in my fridge for over a year, and I just couldn’t make myself take it. This is shocking even to me because I can usually handle just about anything.
But after digging into the research (and venting to a friend about how much I disliked it), she gave me a simple challenge:
➡️ Start with half a dropper in water and work my way up.
I was not about to make capsules every day, so I was determined to find a way to make it work. And guess what? I quickly developed a love (and actual craving) for it because the results spoke for themselves.
The Evolution of My Recipe: Making Mineral Essence Enjoyable
I knew I needed to get creative to make Mineral Essence part of my daily routine. Here's how I turned this “yuck” into my favorite wellness habit:
⭐ Step 1: Years ago, I learned that adding Mineral Essence to ice water helps disperse the minerals better — and made it more tolerable.
⭐ Step 2: Later, I discovered Vitality Drops — but didn’t love them alone in water.
⭐ Step 3: The game-changer? Mixing Mineral Essence with my go-to combo: NingXia Red, Sulfurzyme Powder, Lime essential oil, and water. Total win!
Now, I rotate between Lime and Tangerine Vitality essential oils. I also love switching up my Vitality Drops — sometimes going for Grapefruit Bergamot, and other times choosing Jade Lemon/Lavender. Honestly, it’s hard to pick a favorite!
What I’ve Noticed Since Using It
Once I started using Mineral Essence consistently, the benefits spoke for themselves:
✅ Improved Sleep — My body feels more rested, and I fall asleep faster.
✅ Reduced Inflammation — I’ve noticed less discomfort and tension in my joints.
✅ Better Energy — My stamina and focus have improved, and I don’t hit that mid-afternoon slump like I used to.

Bonus Tip: Absorb Minerals Through the Skin
💡 Pro Tip: Did you know that Mineral Essence can also be absorbed through the skin? Try adding it to Magnesium flakes in a warm bath — especially after digestive upset or a long day. It’s a gentle yet effective way to support your body’s mineral needs. Trust me — your body will thank you!
