Essential Oils

Welcome! I’m so glad you decided to learn more about essential oils!

Looking for more energy, better mood, less feelings of overwhelm, sleep improvement, a healthier life, seasonal relief, a better balance to your body systems, and toxic free solutions? Then essential oils may be the answer to all of these needs!

Let’s dive in!

If you’re on a journey to a healthier, more natural life – essential oils are something you’ll want to add to that journey!

Why Young Living

If you were like me, you’ve tried oils from other companies before, even ordered some from Amazon that had great reviews. But, they didn’t quite meet your expectations. Sure, oils are great for making things smell nice – but we don’t just want nice smelly things – we want to benefit from the plants healing properties.

After doing some research, I learned that oil brand matters because not all companies create their oils the same. Sometimes fillers are added and other times they source their oils from questionable manufactures. And where they grow their fields matter!

Young Living has farms all over the globe, which is why they offer so many great varieties of the best oils on the market. You can even visit their farms! They also take this very seriously share more about this in their Sead to Seal message.

Check out more info:

• Seed to Seal
• They own their own farms around the globe because let’s get real- in order to offer so many wonderful oils, you have to grow these in the regions the plants would thrive in best. This also means it’s always them who oversee what is being done – they aren’t just ordering stuff from random factories around the globe.
• Their oils don’t expire
• They have a Scientific Advisory Council
• Their oils are safe for ingestion- check out their Vitality line.
• They have makeup made with some of the purest ingredients
• They offer products for animals – so your fur babies can reap the rewards of their fantastic quality of ingredients! You can learn more about their Veterinary Advisory Council here

How oils work

First, what are oils? They are concentrated plant extracts that retain the essence of the plant they were sourced from.

How are oils used? Essential oils are used in three ways: through aroma, through topical application, or through consuming them internally.

Aromatic use means you are basically exposing yourself to breathing in the aroma of the oil. When inhaled, the aromas can stimulate areas of your limbic system – which plays a role in emotions, behaviors, sense of smell, and long term memory. (1)

This is why you catch a whiff of something and you are suddenly reminded of a moment that happened decades ago (2, 3). The limbic system also plays a role in affecting some other things such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and physiological functions.

• You can benefit from aromatic use by adding a few drops to your hands and then just breathing that in by cupping your hands around your mouth and nose as you inhale.
• You can also add a few drops to your diffuser and fill a room with the beautiful scents you added.

My first love was blending Lavender and Peppermint. I adore the combination of these two in my diffuser. Our brains react to smells in ways we don’t always recognize until afterwards. That’s why it’s important to choose your oils well- you don’t want to expose yourself to junk. Instead, you want to expose yourself to the best quality you can. That’s what you’ll get with Young Living Oils.

Topical use, probably the most common way to use oils, is when you apply the oil to your skin. When applied to your skin, you are allowing your skin to absorb the properties of that oil. Though applying topically, you also still reap the benefits of aromatic use.

Depending on your goal with the oil in use, you apply it where needed.

• Some oils work best for you when applied to your temples, neck, behind your ears, etc. Others work best when applied to your forearms. That’s why it’s beneficial to be in touch with someone who can help guide you along the learning process.
• And others, that may help improve the appearance of your skin, such as Frankincense or Tea Tree, work best when you apply it all over your face.
• Some oils are pretty potent, so using a carrier oil helps adjust the potency. And this varies person to person. For example, some of my family members can use Thieves straight on the skin, but others in need to dilute it in a carrier oil. It’s a hot oil, so different people react in different ways.

Internal use of oils is the third way that oils are used. This is where it gets super important to be sure you are using top grade oils. Thankfully, if you’re using Young Living you’ll be set in this area.

• Less is more with internal use. You can always try an extra drop the next time you use an oil internally, so you can gauge how you reacted the first time. I say less is more because since this is something you’ve put inside of your body, it’s harder to dilute it once it’s in you.
• With Young Living, the oils that are labeled Vitality are meant for internal use.
• You can use their Vitality oils topically or aromatically too of course, but these are the labels you’ll want on the oils you use internally. I love this about them-it makes it super easy to know what can be ingested and what can not.
• Usually, people add a few drops to their morning tea. I like to add a drop or two of Thieves to my tea when I’m fighting seasonal things or if I’m a bit under the weather. Lemon makes for a great tasting tea too!

BENEFIT FROM WHOLESALE PRICES

Ready to benefit from wholesale pricing? Remember, it’s 24% savings when you sign up and you don’t have to sell anything to reap the rewards!

If you are wanting to start adding oils to your daily routine, you not only SAVE money (24%) by just simply signing up as a wholesale member vs shopping retail pricing — but if you also sign up for Essential Rewards, you also earn points each month with your order.

Points are basically Young Living credit to use towards their products. They add up, fast!

What’s the Essential Rewards Program? Essential rewards (ER for short) is like signing up for a subscription service, kind of like being on Amazon Subscribe and Save. You also get a percentage of your order back as points and freebies every month. The longer you’re on this program the more points you earn back each month.

BUT – you do NOT have to be on this program in order to reap the rewards of wholesale pricing (24% saving)! I think it took me a couple of months to sign up for ER. I wanted to get a good feel of the oils that I got in my Starter Kit and test out some other ones I was really interested in like Progessence Plus Serum (specifically formulated for women to help support our unique female systems).

OILS WE USE FREQUENTLY

• Prgessence Plus Serum
• Bergamot
• Thieves
• Raven
• Stress Away
• Lemongrass
• Tea Tree
• Oregano
• Copaiba
• PanAway

The best advice I can offer is to find five oils in your starter kit that you love, and at least one more that’s not in the kit. Learn a lot about them and their uses. Become comfortable using them. Once you do, and you will, you’ll be ready and confident to keep exploring more oils!

Ready to sign up and become a wholesale member? Just click here or on the link below and follow these steps if you need guidance:

1. Select Member (this is how you become a wholesale member)
2. Select your country and language.
3. Enter this number, 16332291, in the “My Sponsor ID” and “Enroller ID” box. It should populate for you though.
4. Choose your starter kit!
5. STEP 2 is below this. Select yes or no to sign up for ER
   • Select “yes” if you’d like to enroll in Essential Rewards (ER)
     • If you select yes to enroll in ER:
       • you’ll see another box to have this order count as your FIRST ER order! WOOT! Select yes.
       • Now, in STEP 3, you’ll choose WHAT your monthly order will be starting NEXT month. So it doesn’t mean you’re getting these additional things THIS month. This month your Starter Kit is your ER order. So you’re all squared away with that selection.
       • I’d suggest selecting one of the pre-defined options there vs customizing, unless you already know what you’ll want next month! This way you SECURE the ER process. You can ALWAYS change WHAT comes in your ER order up to 24hrs before it’s set to ship. Shipping is usually the same day every month. So if you do this on the 15th this month, expect your ER order next month to ship on the same day.
       • Click next
   • Select “no” if you do not want to sign up for ER. You can sign up for ER at ANY time. The perk of signing up now is to start having the monthly credit towards being an ER member. I did NOT sign up for ER at first. I waited until I felt a bit more familiar with my oils
