What are Essential Oils??

Want to start using essential oils? Read this first!

Essential oils have changed my life – and believe me, I was a skeptic when I was first introduced to them. You mean to tell me that an oil is going to help my families health and wellness?! YEAH RIGHT!  My husband was a skeptic too. He was like ok, if you say so!!!
But before I explain why essential oils are so great, you might be wondering what they actually are!

What are essential oils?

Essential oils are the oil of the plant from which they were extracted.  They contain all the goodness that protects and maintains the plant, and we can use them to help support our own bodies’ health and wellness.
There are many different kinds of oils out there, and they all have different properties and uses. From well-known plants like Bergamot and Eucalyptus to unusual and exotic ones like Petitgrain and Spikenard, there’s an unfathomably huge range to choose from – and they each provide all sorts of different benefits and uses. 

How can essential oils help promote the health and well being of you and your family?

I’m no scientist (and you probably aren’t either), so I’ll explain how essential oils have helped my loved ones and me…
I’m all about hanging onto my sanity despite all of the craziness of my every day life of a mom of three boys and a surgical tech!  – Stress Away is my go-to for stress: it relaxes me, calms me down, and takes the edge off my worries.
My boys love Lavender and can't wait to see what I will be difussing, next! 
Those are just a few examples, but essential oils have also replaced many everyday products that I used to spend a fortune on. I now clean my home with oil-infused natural cleaners rather than toxic chemicals from the supermarket, for example. I cleanse my face with oil-infused natural products too. And everyone in the family benefits from using calming essential oils in the diffuser before bedtime!

Can you just use any essential oils?

In my opinion, no. I’ve done a lot of research into this and if you ask me, there’s one particular brand that stands head and shoulders above the rest: Young Living

Introducing Young Living Essential Oils!

There are many reasons why this brand is so great, but here are my three favorites:

1: The source matters

One of the most important things I’ve learned in my journey to healthy living is that it’s not just what something is  it’s where it comes from, how it’s grown, and how it’s processed. Whether it’s blueberries fresh from the farm, or cows on green pasture, or a soft organic t-shirt, I know that the source matters.
I did many hours of research to find an essential oil company that I felt I could trust with my family’s health. Young Living is that company: they truly care about quality.
To ensure the purity of their oils, the team at Young Living set the highest standards for planting, harvesting, and distilling on the farms they own and co-op. And if I’m going to be putting products on my family’s skin and around our home, I want to know they’re pure and unadulterated!

2: You become part of a big, friendly community

As a Young Living customer, you automatically become a member of a big oily family that will give you all the support and advice you need! It’s a wonderful feeling to know you have the help and reassurance of a generous and caring community of moms, experts, and lifelong users.
I’ve been using my oils for a long time, but I still reach out to the our close-knit community for their advice and expertise!

3: The Young Living Premium Starter Kit is the best introduction to essential oils (and it’s such great value, too!)

No other essential oils company offers such a great-value and comprehensive range of products to get you started.
The Young Living Premium Starter Kit contains your everyday staples – all the oils and equipment you’ll want to have on hand for a variety of situations. There’s an excellent user guide, too, which will help you understand how to use everything contained in the kit.

This means you can continue to buy other Young Living products for a huge 24% discount off the retail price!
