Why did we choose Young Living?
*The value! It was much cheaper to get the Premium Starter kit and try a variety of oils, rather than buying 3-4 oils. Plus, we got a cool diffuser and other product samples.
*The quality! We really liked the fact that Young Living sticks with the oil making process from beginning to end. I'm talking from planting the seeds to the final product. They call this their Seed to Seal guarantee. No harmful chemicals or fake ingredients are used in their oils.
*Internal use! Young Living Essential Oils can be ingested. Not all of their oils, but many of them can be used as a dietary supplement. Their oils are so pure and are free of the synthetic junk that many other oil manufacturers use.
*Member Discount! A membership to Young Living is included with the purchase of the Premium Starter kit. That means I get a 24% savings on all products that I purchase. I LOVE saving money! There are no other fees. The membership is similar to a Sam's Club, Costco, or BJ's membership. And, there's no obligation to buy anything!
What are Essential Oils?
They are aromatic volatile oils that come from plants or plant parts (roots, resin, leaves, flowers, shrubs, seeds) and other healing parts of the plants.
*Cool Fact* Essential oils are mentioned in the Bible over 180 times! The wise men were REALLY wise! They gifted Jesus with 2 amazing essential oils: Frankincense and Myrrh! (Frankincense is considered the Holy Anointing oil in the Middle East!)
How can you use Essential Oils?
*Topically/Externally! Essential oils can be applied to almost every part of the body! Some oils can be applied directly to the skin. Other oils need to be diluted with a carrier oil (any vegetable oil) because they may irritate sensitive skin.
When we apply oils onto our skin, they are absorbed into our bloodstream through our pores and follicles. Applying essential oils to the feet are one of the fastest ways to get oils absorbed into the body. The feet have the largest pores on the body. Applying oils to the spine, neck, wrists, forehead, and temple areas are also favorites of oil users.
*Internally/Ingestion! Essential oils that have “Dietary Supplement” on the label can be ingested. Only Young Living brand oils can be taken internally. I have no other experience with other essential oil companies, so I can’t recommend the use of ingesting any other brand oil.
Essential oils can be added to food, drink, or added to a capsule to be taken in pill form. Adding 1-2 drops of oils to water is a great way to flavor the water & get the added benefits from the oils. Oils can be added to water, juice, or milk. Adding oils to food during cooking is another great option. Lastly, oils can be added to an empty vegetable capsule to take as a pill. Simply open the capsule, add your desired oils, fill up the rest of the capsule with a vegetable oil, then close the capsule.
*Aromatically/Inhalation! Essential oils can be inhaled. There are 4 ways to do this.
The first way to inhale the oils is by simply removing the cap and smelling the bottle directly.
Another way to inhale the oils, is by adding a few drops to your hands, cup your hands over your mouth & nose, then simply take a few deep breaths.
The next way to use oils aromatically is by using a diffuser. To diffuse the oils, simply fill the diffuser with water (to the fill line), then add 4-6 drops of your favorite oils. Perfect for using during sleep.
Finally, essential oils can be added to a hot shower, or a bowl of steaming hot water. Lean over the bowl of water, cover your head with a towel, and breathe deeply.
