why i’m obsessed with eos

In all honesty, I used to think essential oils just smelled nice or made hippie stores smell like patchouli. I had no idea they were actually one of nature’s most powerful forms of plant therapy. Once I discovered them and started using them on myself and my family I was blown away at how quickly and easily we started seeing results.

My allergies improved, I got colds and flus way less often and got over them faster, I started sleeping better, I could get myself out of a funk in a flash, and my home started to be filled with safe all-natural alternatives to commonly toxic culprits like air fresheners and chlorine-based cleaners.

I loved how, as a mom, I always had a quick solution for my kid’s problems, and how fast and easy they were to use.

When I started learning more, I realized there there is SO much miss-information surrounding essential oils and I got REALLY confused…Could I use them on my kids? Could I use them around cats? What’s the proper dilution ratios? What’s safe to take in pregnancy? 

The information online was so contradictory and confusing that I almost gave up the idea of use essential oils altogether!

But, I’m glad I stuck with it, because now, they are my first go-to solution for just about every problem you could think of.

Does brand choice matter?

Did you know that, in today's marketplace, approximately 96% of essential oils are adulterated or synthesized?! Take lavender for example...research shows that there is nearly 100 times more lavender oil being sold today than is actually being grown.

So, what does that mean?

It means that the essential oils sold in most stores (online and offline) are being diluted or completely manufactured using synthetic chemicals and then falsely marketed to us as "pure," "organic," or "therapeutic grade," when really, these unregulated terms don't hold any real truth. Yes, even the oils at your health food store are likely to be partially cut with synthetic fragrance or carrier oils, or not be manufactured specifically for therapeutic use.

When it comes to essential oil safety and efficacy, yes…brand choice matters a lot!

Here’s where i recommend you Start

Now, this is a free country folks…You my friend are free to use whatever oils you choose. However, being a public essential oil advocate, I find it my responsibility to nudge others towards a brand that’s going to get them results, and not cause them harm. So, when it comes to the health of myself, my family, and those I recommend oils to, I go straight to a source I trust to make a product that’s 100% pure, undiluted, and intended for therapeutic use. For me that's Young Living Essential Oils.

I love the fact that they own their own farms, are in control of every step of the process, from seed selection and growing, to harvesting, testing, distilling, and bottling. They have huge hearts and are committed to making the world a better place. 

Personally, I recommend The Young Living Premium Starter Kit as a place to start. It's how I started my journey over 5 years ago, and it's how most of our community members get started as well. It's an arsenal of 12 powerhouse oils, plus you get extra perks like a diffuser, your 24% member discount pass for life, plus amazing resources and one-on-one help from your sponsor (whoever introduced you to Young Living).

The Young Living Premium Starter Kits includes:

ordering instructions

3. Although the Essential Rewards program is optional, I can't recommend it enough! Because Young Living offers SO much more than just essential oils, you'll save tons of money by purchasing high quality, everyday household needs such as toothpaste, personal care products, vitamins, supplements, and more through the Essential Rewards program. Customize your next months order with whatever you choose and change it anytime (I recommend anything in the Thieves or Ningxia product line).

This is SO much more than a box of oils

faqs

Does “Distributor” mean I have to sell something?

Absolutely not. This is a big misconception about Young Living because there is an optional income potential for wholesale members. You can learn more about the optional income potential with Young Living HERE. We have everything you need to get started, plus free coaching calls from us! It’s what we love to do!

Are there any monthly, yearly, or hidden fees?

Nope! No tricks or gimmicks or automatic charges to your credit card whatsoever. Do be aware that in order to keep your wholesale membership with Young Living you will need to purchase at least $50 worth of products every 12 calendar month. If you don't, no biggie, you can always buy another Starter Kit to get your wholesale pass back.

Can I just buy a few oils instead of the starter kit?

To become a wholesale member you must buy one of the start kit options, but if you simply wish to buy individual oils you can create a retail customer account instead. You will be paying 24% more when you do (or 50% more in the case of the oils you’d be getting in the Premium Starter Kit). A great alternative is to become a Young Living member by purchasing the Basic Starter Kit for $45 first, and then purchase individual products at a discount.

If I don’t like it can I return it?

Yes. You have 30 days to receive a full refund if you do not like your products.

Why should I buy from Young Living instead of other essential oils companies?

It does seem like a new essential oils company pops up every day, doesn’t it?

I can’t speak to the quality of other companies, but I can say that Young Living was the only company in my research of essential oil companies that could answer all of my questions about purity in a way that was satisfactory to me.

Young Living is the only company that has their own farms (in the regions where the plants should be grown), could absolutely guarantee that no pesticides or herbicides were used in the growing of any of their oils (they use essential oils for pest control and they do all of the weeding by hand), has their own testing equipment (they do both in-house and 3rd party testing, and use many different testing methods not just GC/MS which only tests for certain chemicals, not whether those chemicals are synthetic or not), and only uses the first distillation of oils instead of adding chemicals to get more out of the plant.

Young Living also was the only company that was directly in charge of essential oil farming operations. Every other company I researched goes through some kind of an “oil broker” to buy their oils and/or plants. They have to trust that the oil broker is telling the truth, who has to trust that the essential oil distilleries are telling the truth, who have to trust that the farmers are telling the truth about what they say they are doing.

Since they are a full-disclosure company, anyone can visit the farms, participate in the harvesting and distillation, view the Young Living labs, and see the entire process. That’s not an option with any other company.

Plus, Young Living is a company with real heart and a tenacity to change the world. Check out the amazing work they do around the world to give back to communities around the world..

Does Young Living only sell essential oils?

The answer to this one was surprising to me when I first got my starter kit! Young Living actually has an entire line of personal care products, supplements, meal replacements, energy drinks, and more! Almost every product incorporates essential oils (for example, frankincense is absolutely wonderful in facial products), but there’s a wide variety of products available.

My favorite products (outside of the essential oils offered through Young Living) are:

• Thieves toothpaste

• Children's toothpaste

• Thieves household cleaner

• Ningxia Red (antioxidant super drink)

• Protein powder (chocolate and vanilla are both amazing!)

• Mineral Essence (a powerful mineral supplement...taste like poo, but it works!)

• Nontoxic sunscreen!

• Nontoxic insect repellent

• Nontoxic makeup!

• Oh my, the list goes on and on!
