Using Essential Oils

Essential oils have many benefits if you buy therapeutic grade oils

Picking lavender in a Young Living field

Essential oils have a long tradition of providing a variety of therapeutic benefits. Many of these traditionally known benefits have been confirmed through modern scientific research.

Essential oils can provide relief from symptoms, ease chronic pain, and help us rest and relax, plus they smell really good!

Essential Oils are readily absorbed through the skin or by inhalation, having an immediate effect, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Since they are so readily absorbed, I prefer to use the purest available.  Some essential oil companies use fillers and oils from several sources, which compromises the purity and effectiveness of the oils.

Young Living Essential Oils give great results – and last a long time

With family and clients my main experience has been with the Young Living Oils, made by a company created by a very focused individual, Gary Young. Young Living grow the plants, distill and bottle the oils themselves to spectrographic testing standards higher than those required even by the FDA.

They are wonderful oils, and since they’re so pure and concentrated they last a long time and even one one drop can fill a room with scent.

How to work with a Young Living Distributor

If you want to learn more, find a local Young Living distributor in your area. For people working with me, my distributor number is 969959, copy and paste it and go to this website link to make your own purchases, or you can contact me directly if you’re in the Wichita area and I’ll place an order for you.

Young Living Distributors help, inform and share in the abundance

There is an abundance network created when you buy from Young Living. If you work with a distributor, they will have materials they can share with you to help you learn more about the oils, and most distributors use the oils in daily life themselves, so we all have plenty of guidance to share with you.

You can start with an Everyday Oils kit, or even just one or two oils (I’d recommend starting with Lavender and a blend such as Panaway).  As time goes by and you learn more about the benefits of the oils, you’ll find yourself more interested in the other products, from oil diffusers through to toothpaste, shampoo and house cleaner!
