Young Living has been in
business for a little over 20 years. It was founded by Gary Young who used
essential oils to overcome a disability from a logging accident. By using
essential oils he went from paralyzed for life to running in a half marathon,
finishing in 60th place out of 970 people. From there he has toured the globe
learning more about essentials.
Young Living owns and/or operates the distillers in USA (2), Ecuador, France, Oman, Taiwan, Egypt, Israel, Kenya and is building the 10th at one of their farms in the USA,
farms much of their own production with their own farms in St. Maries, Idaho, Whispering Springs Farm in Mona, Utah, Highland Flats Tree Farm in Naples, Idaho, in Guayaquil, Ecuador, in Simiane-la-Rotonde, France and their newish farm in Salalah, Oman-where they are the only ones allowed to distill the Frankincense (Boswellia sacra) from Oman. And they recently acquired farms in Taiwan, Peru and Israel and soon one in Egypt.
There are over 50 hospitals that exclusively use Young Living Essential oils in helping their patients with many health issues, including Beth Israel Medical Center. http://www.naturallybalancedliving.net/hospitals-using-young-living-products.html http://www.youngliving.com/en_US/company/partnerships/Beth_Israel_Medical_Center.html
Young Living has been opening distribution centers all over the globe. They just opened in Hong Kong which now join the USA, Singapore, China, Mexico, Australia, Japan, Germany, Canada and Sweden.

Essential Oils are
volatile liquids created by aromatic plants that help the plants sustain it's
life. They are considered the "life blood" of the plant since they
help defend plants from insects, environmental conditions and disease. They
also help humans on the same level.
"When a fragrance is inhaled, the odor molecules travel up the nose where they are trapped by the olfactory membranes that are well protected by the lining inside the nose. Each odor molecule fits like a little puzzle into specific
receptor cell sites that line a membrane known as the olfactory epithelium. Each one of these hundreds of millions of nerve cells is replaced every 28 days. When stimulated by odor molecules, this lining of nerve cells triggers electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb in the brain. The olfactory bulb then transmits the impulses to the gustatory center (where the sensation of taste is perceived), the amygdala (where emotional memories are stored), and other parts of the limbic system of the brain. Because the limbic system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance, essential oils have a profound physiological and psychological effect.
The sense of smell is the only one of the five senses directly linked to the limbic lobe of the brain, the emotional control center. All other senses (touch, taste, hearing and sight) are routed through the thalamus, which acts as the switchboard for the brain, passing stimuli onto the cerebral cortex (the conscious thought center) and other parts of the brain.
The limbic lobe (a group of brain structures that includes the hippocampus and the amygdala located below the cerebral cortex) can also directly activate the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is one of the most important parts of the brain, acting as our hormonal control center. It releases chemical messengers that can affect everything from sex drive to energy levels. Essential oils-through their fragrance and unique molecular structure-can directly stimulate the limbic lobe and the hypothalamus." Essential Oil Integrative Medical Guide written by D.

Essential oils can be
used as a tool to treat the root cause of the medical issue while prescription
drugs can only treat the symptoms. You may have a headache and you use Tylenol
to treat it but WHY do you have a headache, is it because of dehydration,
hormonal issues, tension, vitamin deficiency or other problem? You have to get
to the root of the problem or it can only get worse.
Essential oils can be used as a tool to treat many different health conditions whereas prescription drugs are usually only used to treat one health condition. For example I have used Peppermint essential oil when my kids have a fever, to drive away bugs, enjoyed as a tea, used for headaches and nausea, flavor foods-yummy peppermint brownies, cooled down on a hot day, help with digestion. etc where as I can only use Tylenol for two of those times.
We are having a crisis in the medical world where because antibiotics are synthetic and always created the same that bacteria are learning to be resistant to the antibiotic so companies are having to create super antibiotics and now bacteria are starting to become resistant to those. What is going to happen when they can't make an antibiotic strong enough to kill the super bugs that are going to kill us? I am thanking God that the essential oils he spoke into existence are created a little bit differently each time that superbugs haven't become resistant to them. They have their therapeutic properties but depending on so many factors that each essential oil is a little different and the superbugs can't predict and adapt to the changes and they die.
100% pure essential oils are natural while some essential oils and prescription drugs are synthetic. Our bodies do not like synthetics and in some cases will reject the synthetic and we can have reactions, sometime pretty severe including death.

Essential Oils have been
around for a long time. The bible mentions an anointing oil in Exodus:
"22The Lord said to Moses, 23"Take the finest spices: of liquid myrrh 500 shekels, and of sweet-smelling cinnamon half as much, that is, 250, and 250 of aromatic cane, 24and 500 of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil. 25And you shall make of these a sacred anointing oil blended as by the perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil."
Almost every book in the Bible talks about oils. The Egyptians wrote essential oil recipes on their medicinal scrolls. Their tombs contained highly valuable essential oils. The Chinese, Greeks and Romans all used essential oils for anointing, medicinal, beautifying and aromatherapy. Unfortunately Essential oils were almost lost in the land of synthetic medicine until a French chemist, Dr. Gattefosse, while working in his lab, burned his hand. It resulted in a third degree burn. He then used some Lavender Essential Oil on his burn and was amazed that it was healing. It was then that he started researching essential oils for healing. More learning happened when they ran out of medicinal supplies on the battle fields and started using essential oils for battle wounds, infections and other health conditions. Since then there has been research in how 100% pure essential oils have helped many health conditions.
“The compounds comprising plant oils were spoken into existence when God created plants. These compounds are imbued with God’s Word and God’s intelligence, which is not measured in a laboratory, nor by any physical instrument…Synthetic compounds may be copies of the formulas of compounds found in essential oils, but they are lacking the subtle energies contained in natural substances. Those who apply essential oils for healing soon learn that only pure, natural, complete, and unadulterated oils bring about healing, while synthetic oils, or oils adulterated by synthetic compounds, do not.” – David Steward, PhD, DNM, IASP

What it means to be a YL
Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil.
The term 'therapeutic grade' is not a regulated term, so anyone can claim it. It means nothing unless you define it. All we can do is tell you what we mean by 'therapeutic grade'.
The distinction is of utmost importance, since 90%+ of the essential oils marketed in the United States would not qualify. To start with, ‘therapeutic-grade’ is not simply an indication of purity. Young Living produces oils that have an unusually high concentration of therapeutic components. You can’t get that without having your own farms and doing your own distillations – or in the case of Frankincense, have access to the finest plants (trees) in the world.
To get these high concentrations of therapeutic components, Young Living uses a process that involves strict attention to detail right from the seeds sown to the plants harvested. This ensures that the oils they provide are the purest, most potent essential oils available. This precise, detailed method is known as the ‘Seed to Seal’ process.
Young Living essential oils are:
• 100% pure
• Sourced only from known botanical species
• Sustainably grown and harvested
• Grown on chemical-free lands in carefully nourished soil (organic)
• Unmatched throughout the essential oils industry
• So pure and natural, they’re used and recommended by integrative health professionals around the world
The fact that Young Living’s oils are organic is more important than food being organic. Since essential oils are the concentrated essence of the plant, any contaminants in the soil or on the plant will become present in the oil.
When we compare Young Living ’s ‘therapeutic-grade’ essential oils with the type of “pure essential oils” available at wholefood shops, we find significant differences in quality and purity. For example, the Essential Oils Desk Reference tells us that:
“Pure frankincense is often extended with colorless, odorless, solvents such as diethylphthalate or dipropylene glycol…unfortunately, a large percentage of essential oils marketed in the United States fall in this adulterated category. When you understand the world of synthetic oils, as well as low-grade oils cut with synthetic chemicals, you realize why unsuspecting people with their untrained noses don’t know the difference…
“Anyone venturing into the world of therapy using essential oils must use the purest quality oils available. Inferior quality or adulterated oils most likely will not produce therapeutic results and could possibly be toxic.”
The Four Grades of Oils
Basically, there are 4 grades of essential oils:
1. Grade A oils are pure, therapeutic, and superior quality. They are usually made from organically grown plants, and are distilled at the proper temperatures. “Virgin” soil may also be used.
2. Grade B oils are the most common essential oil and they are sometimes labeled as “pure.” However, they may still contain pesticides, fertilizers, synthetics, extenders, or carrier oils. While Grade B oils are considered “food grade,” I would never recommend ingesting these oils.
3. Grade C are perfume grade and usually contain the same type of adulterating chemicals as Grade B oils. They also often contain solvents which are used to gain a higher yield of oil per harvest. Solvents are not healthy. Still, these oils are sometimes used in aromatherapy or for making perfume products.
4. Floral Water is a byproduct of the distillation process. It can be very high quality if superior, organic material is used and it comes from a “Grade A” distillation process. However if it is from compromised raw materials and/or a poor distillation process, it will be a very low quality. Floral Water is often used for more expensive oils, such as Rose Oil, since it takes 5000 pounds of roses to make just one 1 pound of essential oil.

Questions to Ask
When trying to decide which quality of oils to buy, these are some of the questions that need to be asked (taken from The Essential Oil Desk Reference):
Are the fragrances delicate, rich, and organic? Do they “feel” natural?
Do the aromas vary from batch to batch as an indication that they are painstakingly distilled in small batches rather than industrially processed on a large scale?
Does your supplier subject each batch of essential oils through multiple chemical analyses to test for purity and therapeutic quality? Are these tests performed by independent labs?
Does your supplier grow and distill its own organically grown herbs?
Are the distillation facilities part of the farm where the herbs are grown (so oils are freshly distilled), or do herbs wait days to be processed and lose potency?
Does your supplier use low pressure and low temperature to distill essential oil so as to preserve all of their fragile chemical constituents? Are the distillation cookers fabricated from costly food-grade stainless steel alloys to reduce the likelihood of the oils chemically reacting with metal?
Does your supplier personally inspect the fields and distilleries where the herbs are grown and distilled? Do they verify that no synthetic or harmful solvents or chemicals are being used?
Do your essential oils meet AFNOR or ISO standards?
How many years has your supplier been doing all of this?
Do your essential oils have a shelf life of just a few years? [If so, this means they are probably mixed with a carrier oil (like almond oil) that will go rancid.] This means the oil is certainly not pure.
Do your essential oils come from an edible plant, yet have a warning on them not to take them internally? [This is a huge red flag!]
A Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil is more than a “certified organic” oil. It is an oil that is complete in the makeup of its constituents, having the fragrance, frequency, and chemistry that are necessary to give it all of its unique, therapeutic qualities and effects.
As we have already mentioned above, a quality, Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil is chemically complex and all of its sometimes fragile components need to be present after distillation of the final product. This requires not only a lot of understanding of the makeup of the oil on the production side but also a great deal of time and expense to care for the proper species of plant.
To insure proper potency, plants should be grown on virgin land, uncontaminated by chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides or herbicides and away from pollution sources. The plant materials must be kept free of petrochemical herbicides and pesticides, since these can react with the essential oil during distillation.
The soil should be conditioned with enzymes, trace minerals, and organic bio-solids, since plants lacking in certain minerals and nutrients yield oils low in therapeutic value. Irrigation should be done with reservoir, watershed or mountain stream water.
Plants need to be harvested at the proper time of the season to insure highest potency. Sometimes even a few hours can make the difference. For example, German Chamomile needs to be harvested in the morning since it then yields an oil with far more azulene than when it is harvested later in the day.
The steam distillation method of extracting the oils from the plants requires careful and proper low temperature and pressure monitoring. Too high of temperature or too much pressure can be deleterious to the fragile aromatic molecules of the plant. (“Here is an example of the importance of precise timing during distillation. Cypress has 280 known chemical constituents, and all 280 constituents must be present for Cypress to have medicinal and healing potency. If it is distilled for 20 hours, only 20 of the 280 properties are released. If distilled for 26 hours, none of the properties are released. Most Cypress available in the US market is distilled for about 3 1/2 hours. The correct length of time for distilling Cypress is 24 hours, releasing all 280 properties.” Debra Raybern) In addition, batch sizes need to be kept small and the distillation chamber must be made out of food-grade stainless steel instead of copper or aluminum to avoid reactions with the oils.
Producing pure, Therapeutic Grade Essential oils is a costly venture. The methods required are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it often requires several hundred, sometimes even thousands of pounds of raw plant material to produce a single pound of essential oil. For example, it takes 5,000 pounds of rose petals to produce one pound of rose oil, and it takes three tons of Melissa to produce one pound of oil.”

FDA Says Only 5% of
Ingredient = ‘pure’
In her book, Their Leaves for Healing: The Divine Gift of Plants That Heal, Elizabeth Flores writes that:
"90% of what is sold in the United States as ‘pure’ essential oil is fragrance-grade and diluted. (The FDA has determined that a product need contain only 5% of the ingredient on the label in order to use the word pure.) These oils are found on the shelves of many health food stores and at online discount houses. They may be less expensive, but they will not be useful for healing."
The difference between all essential oils is that not all are created equal. 90%+ of essential oils are either created solely for their scent or flavor. Companies find the chemical properties that they need and isolate the chemical(s) and create it in a lab. The remaining essential oils are created for their therapeutic effects and even those can be synthetically altered.
Some essential oil companies redistill the plant multiple times to extract as much essential oils from the plant to be able to sell more and thus increasing their profits. This is like olive oil. The first pressed oil is called the "extra virgin" pressing and produces the best olive oil. Further pressing reduces the quality of the olive oil. That is what happens with essential oils also.
To extract essential oils out of plants, many companies will use chemicals or solvents to help with the extraction process leaving the chemicals in the essential oil. Then when you use the oil you may end up with a burn or rash from a reaction to the chemicals plus they don't have the therapeutic effect. A few years back France produced 15 tons of lavender essential oil and exported 250 tons, how would that happen? By using synthetic chemicals. "Today most of the lavender oil sold in America is a hybrid called lavandin, grown in China, Russia, France and Tasmania. They bring it into France, cut it with synthetic linolyl acetate to improve the fragrance, add propylene glycol or SD 40, DEP, and DOP, which are solvents that have no smell and increase the volume, then sell it in the U.S. as lavender oil. From <http://www.young-living-oils.net/articles/quality/adulterated_oil_dangers.html> "
Take for example Wintergreen. In it's natural form wintergreen is safe, non toxic, and healing. But when you have synthetic wintergreen it is toxic, does not heal and still smells like wintergreen.
Quote from Dr. David Stewart’s book The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple, page 270. “Wintergreen and Birch are both 85-90% methyl salicylate which dominates their fragrances and flavors. However, while the other 10-15% of ingredients may not be important to the food and fragrance industry, they are the ingredients that keep methyl salicylate from being toxic. They are the quenchers that make the natural oil safe and effective while the synthetic version is neither safe nor effective.”” You can read more here about natural and synthetic compounds: http://www.raindroptraining.com/messenger/v6n1.html
Young Living's essential oils are never cut with chemicals or solvents. They are only stream distilled or in the case of citrus cold pressed.

A few years back France produced 15 tons of lavender essential oil and exported 250 tons, how would that happen? By using synthetic chemicals. "Today most of the lavender oil sold in America is a hybrid called lavandin, grown in China, Russia, France and Tasmania. They bring it into France, cut it with synthetic linolyl acetate to improve the fragrance, add propylene glycol or SD 40, DEP, and DOP, which are solvents that have no smell and increase the volume, then sell it in the U.S. as lavender oil. From <http://www.young-living-oils.net/articles/quality/adulterated_oil_dangers.html> "
Take for example Wintergreen. In it's natural form wintergreen is safe, non toxic, and healing. But when you have synthetic wintergreen it is toxic, does not heal and still smells like wintergreen.
Quote from Dr. David Stewart’s book The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple, page 270. “Wintergreen and Birch are both 85-90% methyl salicylate which dominates their fragrances and flavors. However, while the other 10-15% of ingredients may not be important to the food and fragrance industry, they are the ingredients that keep methyl salicylate from being toxic. They are the quenchers that make the natural oil safe and effective while the synthetic version is neither safe nor effective.”” You can read more here about natural and synthetic compounds: http://www.raindroptraining.com/messenger/v6n1.html
Young Living's essential oils are never cut with chemicals or solvents. They are only stream distilled or in the case of citrus cold pressed.
When properly cultivated,
harvested, and steam distilled (or in the case of citrus-steam pressed) the
essential oils retain it's therapeutic properties.
They are 50-70 times more powerful than the herb and are much more complex then synthetic pharmaceuticals.
Essential oils cost between $0.05 and $2.25 per drop where as prescriptions can cost hundreds per month supply. Heard a story of a lady that needed meds and ONE of her meds cost $200 for the month supply.
Don't forget the side effects of most prescription medications. I believe it is 1 in 4 ads on TV is for prescription drugs. They always list the side effects and I have to say some of the side effects are just as bad as the disease the medication is trying to cure. My own MIL is on many prescription meds (severe mental health issues) and she has prescriptions that take care of the side effects of some of her main meds and even more prescriptions to take care of the side effects from the medications that are for the side effects of the main meds. She needed a grocery bag to carry all her meds. No wonder she had heart failure twice (from a medication that was said to be safe and is now on the recall list for causing severe health issues) and kidney failure (from acute withdrawals of prescribed pain medication).
There are over 200,000 deaths a year from properly prescribed medications. There are no deaths in the world with proper use of essential oils. There are a few deaths in the world from children drinking a bottle of essential oil or mothers using essential oils to abort their unborn baby and causing the death of the baby and themselves. When using essential oils PROPERLY there are virtually NO side effects.

Several months ago, our cat started getting sick and was vomiting blood. Afraid that the vet would tell us to put him to sleep, I started applying purification. Worked like a charm. No more getting sick and he is back to his old self. Now when I notice anything with him, I just apply a drop or 2 to make sure!

Lavender helped years ago when my son burned his hand. We were outside burning papers and a plastic bottle had fallen, my son didn’t realize it was hot because he was so young. Before my husband or I could stop him he reached for the bottle and grabbed it. The plastic that was melted burned his hand. We immediately ran into the house, my husband held his hand under cold water while I ran for the lavender bottle. We applied lavender and ice for 24 hours, not one blister or scarring.

My children who are now 17 and almost 14 use lavender on their pillows
at night for a good nights rest!
We also used lavender for a
sunburn while at the beach.

I use it when my kids get a fever. I applied it to their feet and not long after their temp dropped and they felt much better.
Rubbing peppermint on my stomach helped when I had heartburn. Just applied it and 20 minutes later it was gone.
There was one time that I had a bad headache and I dabbed some on my temples, then laid down with hubby to watch a movie. After the movie was over and my headache was gone, hubby said that it had helped him with his nausea too.

Peace & Calming®
great for relaxation and better sleep-great for wound up kids
helps with insomnia and anxiety
Fights depression
supports the nervous system
Bad dreams
Good in bath products
I loved using Peace and Calming for exactly what is named for. I can just apply the oil and feel so much better. We also use it for my daughter's by diffusing it at night when they sleep. It helps them go to sleep within 30 minutes of going to bed.
I apply it daily to help with my anxiety. I tend to get anxiety a lot and now am able to avoid my anxiety meds about 100% of the time just by putting a drop of P&C on my chest and smelling it. At first I hated the smell but eventually I started using it and now it helps for the reason it was created. (Usually a YL oils that smells really bad to you means your body needs it. Many other who have used YL oils have attested to that fact. )

I've been battling recent heart palpitations that are brought on my panic attacks by putting Joy over my heart. It's still not my favorite smell, but I've been putting on my feet, diffusing it, and generally trying to use it every day. It's very helpful for me when placed over the heart!~Jennifer C.

There are a few ways you
can use YL essential oils.
You can use it:
Topically-by applying to almost any body part (not eyes or ears) using your hands, a roller ball cap, or straight from the bottle
Diffusing-Using a cold air diffuser, it will disperse the oils in to the air. It will either use water mixed with oils or just the oil. Heating the oils will destroy the therapeutic properties.
Internally (ONLY YL essential oils)- By adding drops to water and drinking it or adding to capsules which you can mix with a fatty acid oil like coconut or olive oil.
Here's what I do for applying some of the oils that I use:

Young Living also has
many other essential oil products. ART skin care system, Ningxia Red (which is
a MUST in my opinion), Slique weight loss products, many different supplements
and the Thieves line of personal and household care products. By using
essential oils you can replace so many medications, personal hygiene products,
cleaning supplies, gift for families, and help your family to become healthier.
There are so many more testimonial that I could share about how much YL product
have helped me.

One thing I also love
about Young Living is the Essential Rewards Program. If you’re like me, you
like to budget for what you need each month. The Essential Rewards program
helps you do that while earning points for FREE product at the same time! ER is
an auto-ship program that offers discounts and reward points based on your
monthly purchases. You choose the date (and can even change it if needed) and
choose products (which you can also change) to arrive at your door every month.
If you sign up as a member of Young Living and don't sign up for the Essential
Rewards (ER) program, you are losing money! I lost almost $20 because I didn’t
sign up for ER until two months after I purchased my enrollment kit. This is a
great way to budget and “try out” the various oils available, while saving
money as you build your own natural “Medicine Cabinet.” When you sign up as a
distributor, it also qualifies you for certain commissions and bonuses (with an
ER order
of 100PV/month).
Here are a few main points to consider:
· FREE to sign up
· No obligation to continue
· Discounted Shipping ($6.98 for the first 5 lbs!)
· Earn points for up to 20% back in FREE products
· Qualify for special discounted essential oil collections and more free oils (YL has special promos where you can get free oils just for meeting the PV for the month)
If you’re serious about essential oils, this program is a MUST!
Months on Essential Rewards Points Earned
Months 1–6 earn 10%
Months 7–12 earn 15%
Months 13+ earn 20%
If you decide to join, you need only sign up to purchase 50 PV per month.
