What are Young Living Essential Oils?
Essential oils are the highly concentrated, aromatic essences
of trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses, resins and flowers. Essential oils are greaseless and not like
the other ‘oils’ you have in your home. Essential oils are the plant’s natural
defense and protective mechanisms. They work the same in our bodies as they do
in nature. They penetrate our cell membranes and disperse into our blood and
tissues. 1 drop contains countless
molecules that affect the body at the cellular level. Their purpose is to smell
amazing and many also help support all of our body systems by keeping our
bodies clean and our system functioning as it should.
All oils are not created equal! Young Living is the oldest,
most trusted and well-respected essential oil company in the world. We are the
world leader and are now a BILLION dollar company with over 3 million members

farming practices and as members, you can visit them to partake in the
production!
How to use Young Living Essential Oils:
AROMATICALLY (INHALATION/DIFFUSING)
Scents are powerful and the best and fastest way to reach the
mood center is through our nose! In less than a second, essential oils hit the
limbic system and have the power to affect our mood. 75% of American homes use
synthetic air fresheners that contain numerous amounts of chemical agents that
have been linked to cancer (namely formaldehyde). When you see the term
‘fragrance’ remember that it can include up to 300 toxic chemicals but still
just say ‘fragrance’!
Formaldehyde is the #1 cancer causing chemical and is what
you are embalmed with at the morgue. Why are you breathing this in when you
don’t have to?! Diffusing essential oils is an all-natural ways to incorporate
pleasant scents into your home and to enhance your life. Another way to get
oils aromatically: 'Tenting'. Pour boiling hot water into a glass bowl. Drop in
2-3 drops of the essential oil of your choice. Breathe in the vapors while
covering your head with a towel over the bowl. Excellent for the respiratory
system!
INGESTING
I didn’t ingest at first. It wasn’t until I researched the
company and heard MANY stories from other YL members that I found there are so
many benefits to ingesting these oils!
Usually, I ingest oils by placing a drop of an essential oil
intended for internal use in a glass of water to drink in the morning or after
dinner (depending on the oil and intended use). I will also mix a drop with
honey, a carrier oil like coconut oil, or water
in a table spoon. There are a few oils that are so beneficial, but I’m
not a huge fan of the taste, so taking a small amount by tablespoon works for
me!
On occasion I will also fill empty veggie capsules with
coconut or avocado oil and add some drops of essential oils. This is usually
when I need some immune system support and the capsules can be bought on the
Young Living website.
TOPICALLY or Trans-dermal
Essential oils are
absorbed by the skin rapidly, so topical use is very popular. Many oils can be
rubbed on the feet for support and wellness.
Keep in mind that some oils need to be diluted by mixing with
a carrier oil. Check out our safety page for all the safety tips when using
oils and for more information about carrier oils!
