How Do You Use Essential Oils?

Aromatically-inhale directly from the bottle or diffuse.

Topically-apply directly to the skin, being careful of the eyes. You may dilute with a carrier oil (a fatty oil like olive oil or coconut oil) which slows down the rate of absorption.

Internally-Young Living has a line of Vitality oils that are safe for use internally, identifiable by their white labels. You can also cook with a variety of them.

Why Make Changes To What I Bring Into My Home?

The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health studied 2,983 ingredients in our products at home and found 884 toxic ingredients. 314 of them caused biological mutations. 218 caused cancer tumors but were allowed in the United States, even though they were banned in other countries around the world.

Many of these chemicals are allowed in common cleaning supplies in the United States. Even beauty products are laden with chemicals-26 seconds after exposure, chemicals are found in measurable amounts in the human body. The average woman applies over 300 chemicals every day to her body just through soaps, makeup, shampoos, and hair care products!

Does it really matter where you get your oils?

Yes! Not all essential oils are created equally. Companies cut corners, by using pesticides to produce more crops to distill or a chemical solvent may be used to extract the oil to pull more out, or they are diluted with a cheaper oil or carrier oil (if you see a $6.00 bottle of Frankincense, it is a red flag that the oil is not pure). Young Living will never knowingly compromise by adding synthetics, contaminants, or cheap fillers, or by using unethical production practices.

Young Living’s oils are sourced from their corporate-owned farms, partner farms, and Seed to Seal-certified suppliers. The Seed to Seal promise is then proven in the lab where their quality testing and retesting are performed by more than 50 highly trained scientists. Young Living chooses to work only with partners they trust-those that produce pure essential oils and ingredients ethically and legally, but even with that trust, we engage third-party global experts to validate that our standards are being upheld. This helps to ensure that inferior or unethically sourced ingredients don’t make it to your home. That’s why I don’t buy from just anywhere.

If I Become a Customer Will I Have Sell Essential Oils?

No. You are never required to sell anything. I love being a part of Young Living and sharing the products with others. But if you have wanted to have your own home business with very little cost to you, this is a great company to work with.
