Information and statements regarding our products have not been evaluated by the FDA.

We are not medical professionals and this event is not in any way meant to take the place of medical advice. It is for educational purposes based off opinions and facts that we have found to be true in our own experience and with research we have gathered from books and online. We are not diagnosing, treating, or prescribing.

SAFETY INFO: Essential oils sure are powerful and because of that, we want to make sure you learn how to properly use them if you haven’t before. Take a look at this great overview about essential oil safety and remember that the content of this class is intended to be used with Young Living Essential Oils only.

Learn to love your labels: Each bottle of Young Living essential oil is wrapped in a colorful label full of important information. On the front of each bottle, you’ll find the oil name and grade. All Young Living oils are 100% pure, therapeutic grade, which is the highest quality essential oil on the market. You will also see the bottle size printed under this information (most come in either a 5ml or 15ml size). The back of the label will give you directions on how the oil can be used – aromatically, topically, and/or as a dietary supplement. Not all essential oils are recommended for all three types of use, so reading and adhering to the information printed on the bottle is important! Young Living just released its Vitality line of oils meant for ingestion and will eventually transition all of the non Vitality oils to be topical/aromatic only.

Within these directions will be suggested dilution ratios. This simply means that it is recommended to mix the essential oil with a carrier oil (your choice of vegetable oil like coconut, jojoba or grapeseed) before applying or ingesting it. You will also see a batch number stamped on the back of every bottle – that’s right, every single bottle! As part of Young Living’s commitment to quality, they are able to track each bottle back to the batch it was produced from should there ever be a concern.

Actions and reactions: If you know you are allergic to lavender, it probably isn’t a wise decision to use lavender oil – make sense? Now this doesn’t necessarily hold true for everyone and every oil. Due to the distillation process, proteins (what usually causes an allergic reaction) are generally absent from the essential oil minimizing the chance of allergic reactions. The essential oil of a plant may come from a different portion than what triggers an allergic reaction for a specific individual. For example, lemon oil is obtained from the rind and not the flesh of the fruit. Some people may be allergic to lemon no matter what, but others may have no reaction to the essential oil because it comes from a different part of the plant. If you know you have an allergy to a certain plant but are wanting to try the essential oil, consult with your doctor before testing a small amount on a non­sensitive part of your body (like the back of your hand).

Nut allergy information: Be aware that several of Young Living’s blends and products contain nut oils. You can always contact Young Living directly for an up­to­date ingredients list of any product, but if you have a nut allergy, take caution when considering use of the following products:

Products containing coconut oil:

Cel­Lite Massage OilTM Cinnamint Lip BalmTM
Dragon TimeTM Massage Oil GenesisTM Hand and Body Lotion Grapefruit Lip Balm
HopeTM
Into the FutureTM
KidScents® Lotion
KidScents® Tender Tush
Lavender Lip Balm

Oils and medications: Most of the time, essential oils are perfectly safe to use even if you are taking another medication. However, there are some instances in which essential oils like grapefruit may interfere with prescribed medication. If you are taking any prescription medication, it is strongly recommended to consult your healthcare provider prior to the use of any essential oils to check for possible contraindications. Be sure to inform your health care provider that our citrus oils are made from the rind vs the juice.

Safety with children: Many of us have children and are excited at the possibility of using essential oils with our beloved little ones! Most essential oils are perfectly safe to use with children as long as they are diluted appropriately. Two of our favorite resources on the topic of oils and kids are the books Aromatherapy for the Healthy Child by Valerie Worwood and Gentle Babies by Debra Raybern. You do want to make sure that your essential oils stay out of children’s reach (they can sting and you don’t want them in eyes, little mouths, etc.). There are also a few oils with special child safety caps because they can be dangerous if swallowed such as PanAway due to the wintergreen it contains.

Citrus oil precautions: It is important to take some extra precautions when using citrus oils because of their ability to dissolve certain plastics. This is great if you want to get a sticky label off of a glass jar, but not so great if the lemon oil you put in your water dissolves your cup! The general rule is that citrus oils should only be used in glass or stainless steel containers – no plastics.

Photosensitivity: Certain essential oils are photosensitive. This means they absorb sunlight or radiant energy more intensely than your skin naturally would. You’ll want to check the label of the oil you’re using to see if it contains this warning and avoid the sun for up to 12 hours after application.

Oils & pregnancy: Many essential oils are completely safe to use while pregnant and can provide much needed relief for a variety of pregnancy symptoms. There are some oils that should be avoided during pregnancy, however. The Gentle Babies book mentioned above is a fabulous resource for information about using essential oils while pregnant.

Start slowly: As we said, Young Living’s essential oils are extremely potent and powerful substances. It is recommended to start slowly when you first begin using oils. Choose one oil to try and then build from there. Listen to your body and watch for signs of detoxing.You can usually apply essential oils as needed, but do not overload your system!

Storing your oils: Young Living’s essential oils do not expire, but you do need to take care when storing them. You’ll notice that the bottles are a dark, amber color. This is to keep light from reaching the oils. Even though the bottles are dark, you’ll still want to store your oils in a cool environment away from direct sunlight to preserve the therapeutic properties.

Medical conditions: It is always advised to consult a medical professional before starting any essential oils routine, especially if you have been diagnosed with a medical condition, are taking any prescription medications, or have concerns about your health. The information provided on our site is not intended to replace the advice of your doctor or diagnose any medical condition. Treat essential oils with the care and respect they deserve and exercise your best judgment when using them for a safe, effective experience!

Roll Call!!!

Who’s here? who invited you? where are you from? what is one thing you would like to support with essential oils?

Post 3:

If you don’t know your soil, you don’t know your oil. There are no real regulations for Essential Oils right now—what does that mean? That means just about anyone can label an oil bottle “organic” or “all natural” when in reality that bottle has fillers and fragrance in it.

Why should you care? More than 95 percent of the chemicals in synthetic fragrances are derived from petrochemicals. These chemicals include: benzene derivatives, aldehydes, phthalates, and a slew of other known toxins that are capable of causing cancer, birth defects, nervous-system disorders and allergies—some of which are cited on the EPA’s hazardous waste list. WOAH.

Young Living is completely toxic chemical free. They hand weed their plants, own many of their farms and distilaries, and partner with family farms to provide us the PUREST essential oils on the market. Literally. We have no competition. Did you know you can visit any of Young Living’s farms? You can watch the Seed to Seal process with your own two eyes!

Young Living’s commitment to quality is also unmatched. Did you know they test each oil with up to 30 different tests? TWICE! And then send them out for third party testing using the same lab the Scotland Yard and FBI use.

We also have an amazing foundation that we get to be a part of. Young Living pays for all admin fees and 100% of your donations go to the foundation. LIKE WHATTT??? Guys that almost never happens. Our foundation provides disaster relief, education, malaria treatment, hope for justice (helping to end human trafficking) and SO. MUCH. MORE.

What are Essential Oils?-

• Essential oils are organic compounds extracted from plants that have therapeutic properties. They can be found in the plant’s flower, stem, leaves, bark, or fruit.
• The chemistry is extremely complex and may consist of 100’s of different and unique chemical compounds. This is what gives each oil its unique attributes and characteristics.
• The oils are also the “essence” of a plant. It protects the plant from disease, provides nutrients, and helps fight off anything it doesn’t want! It keeps the plant (or tree, fruit, bark, root, etc.) healthy and functioning at its best! Essential oils should smell exactly like the plant they come from – nothing more, nothing less.
• Essential oils are NOT the same as vegetable and/or olive oils. Vegetable oils are obtained from the fatty parts of a plant like the nuts, seeds or kernels and are greasy. They can also go rancid over time. Young Living’s essential oils do not go rancid or expire – yay! In the essential oils world, we refer to the kitchen oils (olive, coconut, avocado, grape seed, etc.) as carrier oils since they are often used to dilute the potency of therapeutic grade essential oils and “carrier” the oils into the cells of your skin.

-What Do They Do?-

• Reach every cell in your body within 20 minutes when applied topically to the body
• Eliminate toxins in your body and regenerate DNA
• Have the capability of passing the “blood-brain” barrier
• Work on emotions via the limbic system of your brain when inhaled, can release emotional trauma, relax and clear the mind
• Transport nutrients to starving cells
• Act as powerful antioxidants
• Remove toxins in the air
• Increase ozone and negative ions in the area which inhibit bacterial growth

Anytime you hold a bottle of Young Living powerful essential oils, you are holding the pure essence of health-promoting botanicals that can be diffused, inhaled, applied topically, incorporated into massage to inspire a positive emotional state, taken internally (the vitality line), enhance your physical wellness, purify your home, refine your skin, and create deep spiritual awareness. YES, PLEASE!

-Methods of Use-

Topically – Many essential oils can be applied directly to the skin, either neat (meaning straight with no dilution) or diluted (with a carrier oil, such as: coconut oil, grape-seed oil, olive oil, etc.). Applying oils directly on location can be the best way to target areas in need. (ex: Peppermint Oil on screaming muscles; Digize Oil rubbed on your angry tummy). You can also apply oils to the Vita Flex points on your feet and they will make their way throughout your body and to every cell within minutes.

Aromatically – Research shows that therapeutic grade essential oils stimulate active regions in the brain’s limbic system associated with memory, emotion and consciousness. This is actually the quickest way for your body to use the oils.

• Inhalation: Place 1-2 drops of oil into the palms of your hands and cup your hands over your nose and mouth and inhale slowly. You can also inhale directly out of the bottle.
• Diffusing: Young Living diffusers propel essential oil molecules into the air, where they stay long after the diffuser turns off. Certain oils can help purify the air, may help boost your energy, ease daily stressors and occasional emotional ups and downs, increase focus, promote a more restful sleep, and much much more!

You can also wear essential oils as perfume for the amazing aroma and as a bonus, can also lift your mood!

Internally- Because of Young Living’s therapeutic grade of oils, there are many oils that can be taken internally as a dietary supplement. You can add oils to your water (Grapefruit Vitality Oil is my fav!), a spoonful of honey, or into a vegetable capsule. The Vitality line (white labels) is clearly labeled for this use and why you will see it mentioned as a “Vitality Oil” when talking about ingesting an oil.

LAVENDER

Did you know that it takes 9 square feet of lavender to make a 5ml bottle of Young Living Lavender? NINE!!!!

A gentle and versatile oil with a sweet, floral aroma. Can complement your favorite shampoos, lotions and skin care products. Lavender is called the swiss-army knife of oils with good reason! Many other essential oil companies sell “Lavadin” as Lavender and Lavadin isn’t good for skin issues!

Just SOME of the uses:

• Use it with Frankincense as a facial serum 
• Supports the body’s natural healing processes
• Add it along with Cedarwood to mascara and conditioner to promote healthy hair growth
• Put a drop on your pillow at night to relax you and help quiet your mind 
• Soothes skin after being out in the sun all day or touching a pan that was a little too hot
• Add a drop to your moisturizer 
• Diffusing lemon, lavender, and peppermint can help provide seasonal support
• Make bath salts to help with the normal detoxification system of your body
• Comforting, supports a feeling of security 
• Drop on your bug bites to help stop the itch and helps to repel the “annoyances” that come out during the summer and try and bite your skin
• Sleep. Sleep and more sleep. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz, good night 

Basically, when in doubt…use Lavender!

PANAWAY

A powerful blend of Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Clove, and Peppermint oils that promotes the circulatory and natural anti-inflammatory responses of the body.

Okay. Seriously. If any oil works instantly, it’s THIS one. Some people (myself included) needed more tangible, instant proof of these oils. Panaway was the one. Any sore muscles from workouts, sleeping  funny, old knees, etc. apply a few drops of a carrier oil  (like coconut oil, vegetable oil, or almond oil) and Panaway directly to the location in need and watch the magic happen.

Just SOME of the uses:

• • Has anti-inflammatory properties so it helps introduce oxygen into the tissue, supporting the body’s natural healing process and helping to relieve pain and tension quickly
  • Can alleviate occasional stressed muscles and physical discomfits
  • Eases occasional minor head tension
  • Energizing and uplifting!
  • Mix it with Raven for a nice Chest rub. It helps to open up your airways!
  • Helps with feelings of exhaustion
  • Contains Helichrysum, which is called “everlasting” in Europe and it’s in very limited supply!
  • Commonly used for help with sciatica pain, arthritis , bone pain, and spasms
  • Also helps promote healthy circulation!

Like Frankincense, this is another pricy oil that really makes the Starter Kit worth it! Trust me, you’ll thank me when you’re muscles are screaming and looking for relief!

THIEVES

THIEVES HOUSEHOLD CLEANER

What is Thieves Household Cleaner?

It’s hard to believe, but this is truly an all-in-one natural cleaner that’s non-toxic, yet super effective.

Post 11:

Not sure if Thieves actually works??? Here are some experiments my friends have done to prove its effectiveness. What surprised you most?

Post 12:

DIGIZE

A blend of Ginger, Anise, Fennel, Peppermint, Tarragon, Lemongrass, Patchouli and Juniper oils that supports a healthy digestive system.

Digize is an oil that you are SUPER thankful for when you need it. It’s kind of magical. We add a little peppermint and keep a roller top on it so it’s really easy to roll over our bellies when we are feeling uncomfortable.

Just SOME of the uses:

• BLOATING – Anyone else? I can’t be alone here. Soy sauce and carbs are two of my favorite foods. Not fun in the morning. I always go into the kitchen and rub some Digize and Lemon on when I’m feeling the extra water weight!
• Shouldn’t have eaten that extra donut? Digize on your belly!
• Can help with that burning feeling in your chest after spicy foods
• Helps to support the respiratory and digestive processes 
• Supports healthy and regular elimination processes (ya hear that? all you “unregular” people…Orange oil can also help “keep things moving” if you catch my drift)

When you need DiGize, you will be so happy to have it.

FRANKINCENSE

Valued more than gold during ancient times, Frankincense has a woodsy, warm aroma. Frankincense goes WAY back. It was a present brought to baby Jesus, Cleopatra traded it for gold, and it has been used in the Middle East for upwards of 5,000 years. If it’s good enough for baby Jesus, it’s more than good enough for me! The best part of Frankincense, to me, is the mental and emotional healing properties. It is SUPER calming and provides a feeling of safety, security, and overall peace.

Just SOME of the uses:

• It helps to combat feelings of being anxious, sad, and shaken
• Combine it with Lavender for a nice, deep sleep
• Great for little bumps & cuts and bites on the skin
• It’s AMAZING for all things skin. Add a drop to your moisturizer and awesome in make-up remover pads
• Put a few drops to relieve tension, such as on your jaw (teeth grinding) or neck muscles
• Inhaling Frankincense can help to lower blood pressure and bring emotional stability
• Unwind! Great to use when meditating, doing yoga, or just relaxing

THIS is the oil that makes the Starter Kit worth it (I mean they all do, but this was the big selling point for me.) It’s the priciest outside of the kit, and you are going to want this oil!

CITRUS FRESH

Combining Orange, Tangerine, Grapefruit, Lemon, and Mandarin oils with a hint of Spearmint, Citrus Fresh™ Essential Oil is a proprietary Young Living blend that offers an uplifting, refreshing aroma that you can diffuse to transform home, work, and classroom spaces.

  • Great to use before a workout on your chest to really enhance your workout!
  • Apply to feet before bed to create an atmosphere of comfort and easy breathing

  • When getting sinus headaches and too much sinus pressure, apply to your sinus passages (bridge of nose, cheekbones, forehead)
  • Drop a little on a Q-Tip and roll inside of your nasal passages for a quick breathing fix when stuffy

COPAIBA

A powerful oil from South America, traditionally used to aid digestion and support the body’s natural response to occasional injury or irritation.

It’s known for its gentle, woodsy aroma and is a product of steam distilling the Brazilian Copaifera reticulata tree.

Just SOME of the uses:

• Mix with a dab of coconut oil, Frankincense, and Raven to open up pathways and breathe better
• Good to mix with Panaway and Peppermint for an after workout rub + occasional head tension 
• When diffused with Peppermint and Lemon, Copaiba has often been used to lighten the spirits, improve mood, and clear the air!

• The strong antibacterial nature of Copaiba can act as a major booster for your immune system. Add this to a vegetable capsule along with some of our other immune supporting oils and you have quite the army fighting for you!
• It can also act as a shield for your skin, protecting wounds from developing an infection, and also protects you internally, reducing harmful bacteria and microorganisms that may be negatively affecting you from inside!
• Is your baby teething? This can be used neat or diluted along with Thieves to help ease the pain
• I also add this to my Thieves Tea when feeling that “ick” come on!
