Essential oils are a topic that are widely talked about in health circles but also looked upon as a hippy trend or fad. I had no prior knowledge on essential oils other than you can use them for unscented natural laundry. I went to a health food store and bought Eucalyptus, Lavender and Tea Tree. My goal for my family is to reduce the amount of toxins in our household.

Then last year around Mother’s Day, I attribute it to God guiding me to the right path, a friends post on Young Living Essential Oils pops up in my Facebook feed. I thought, hmm a place to buy oils online. Not thinking more into what the company is all about. I mention to my husband as a gift idea for Mother’s Day. We go online together and order what is called a Premium Starter Kit! I get so excited thinking wow I am going to get 11 oils to use and something called a diffuser to use with the oils. As you can see I don’t research everything before I buy it! When I received my kit a week later it came with TONS of info on Young Living as a company, the oils, and the beautiful home diffuser. I felt like a little girl on Christmas morning opening my Premium Starter Kit! I couldn’t wait to smell all the oils! Dr. Gary Young, founder of Young Living founded his company over 20 years ago! He is considered the pioneer of essential oil companies. Young stands by his products and is without a doubt passionate about health and what we are putting on and in our bodies! After reading the Seed to Seal Guarantee I knew that I chose the right company for my family. There are no fillers or synthetics in my oils and Young Living is the only company that owns their own farms and distilleries. They are the first in essential oil companies to use the distilling method that preserves the therapeutic quality of the oil versus high heat which destroys the health benefits.

Each oil in the kit benefits your health and wellness! There are three uses for your oils.

Topical Application

Make sure to read the bottle label on each individual essential oil for specific usage directions.

Apply 1-3 drops directly to the desired area (dilute spicy/hot oils with organic carrier oil like V-6 or coconut oil)

The bottoms of your feet are a great place to topically apply oils because they have the largest pores in your body and contain all your nerve endings.

Inhalation/Aromatic/Diffusing:

A diffuser disperses oils into a micro fine cool mist into the air covering hundreds of square feet in seconds. These oils will remain in the air for hours to purify and deodorize.

When you inhale an oil, they go through the olfactory nerves in the nose to the limbic system where memory and emotions are stored. This region of the brain only communicates through smell. Inhaling oils, you are able to access and release certain trauma stored in the body.

Internally:

Many Therapeutic grade oils can be taken in a vegetable capsules  To get an oil into your system quickly put a drop under your tongue.

You can also add essential oils to your water. I love to drink oils in my water each day! Make sure to use only glass or stainless steel cups. You can even add many oils to your favorite recipes!

Thieves Vitality 

Thieves is a blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary.

It was named after a band of robbers who were grave robbing during the plague in the 15th century. They were a band of aroma-therapists and they had soaked their handkerchiefs in this blend and would then rob the plague victims.

Can be taken in a capsule, in tea with honey, or rubbed on bottoms of feet.  Use before and after getting on airplanes, going to school or other environments where immune support is needed. Helps with healthy teeth and gums. Gargle or apply diluted to ease throat or teething discomfort, may help draw out splinters!

This is a “hot” oil which means diluting with a fatty ‘carrier oil’ like coconut, almond, avocado, or olive oil is best when beginning use and especially with kiddos! This is an oil to stock up on for fall and winter, we take it with us everywhere, and use it in several DIY recipes!

 

Young Living also offers a whole line of Thieves infused products!

How do you get the oils?

You can get your oils the same way we do as wholesale member, which is similar to Sam’s or Costco, and the kit itself is your membership!

As a wholesale member, you will always get 24% off and Young Living ships directly to you. You never have to sell anything or purchase monthly, in fact, you only have to order once per year to keep an active membership, and that’s it! This kit (Premium Starter Kit) retails for about $300, but as a wholesale customer you get all 11 oils, plus the home diffuser for only $160. It’s a really great deal! You do have the option of ordering as a retail customer, but you will not get the 24% discount.

As soon as you become a member of our “Oily Community”, we will add you to our private Young Living facebook page where you can ask questions, and get tons of resources and training!  Also, I created my own team group on facebook that you will be added to “The Oilistas”.

The  Starter Kit contains 5 ml bottles of ALL the oils we talked about tonight, as well as some samples, Ningxia Red Samples, information, and a DIFFUSER (choose from several different diffusers at different price points).

Young Living has a great referral program as well. Every time you refer someone to the company Young Living sends you a $50 “thank you”.  By sharing with three people, it pays for the cost of your oils! I love to go around and teach classes! If you are local to the Milwaukee area I will teach classes in your home. If you are not local I love doing online classes to teach all about oils to your friends and family 🙂
