What The Heck Are Essential Oils And Why The Hype Over Young Living?
Become a member of wellness, helping others, a supportive community, and fun when you invite Young Living into your home and lifestyle.
The following content is from my own perspective, experience, opinion, and in my own words. I am an independent distributor of Young Living and they have not approved of this post.

How would you like to find a company whose products support almost every aspect of your life? Products that are fun and exciting that improves not only how your body and mind function but also improves how your household functions too. From a company who makes buying them more exciting and rewarding than buying any item you’d find at the store? What are they?
What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are a plant’s lifeforce. The oils of the plant are what protect it from getting sick and are what heal it when it does get sick or damaged. Scientists carefully distract these oils by a process called steam distillation and then they repeatedly test it, bottle it, seal it, and then they ship it to your door so that you can reap its benefits. Each plant has multiple uses and in order to know which oil to use you need to have access to a reference guide.
Quick Note: Your reference guide is the perfect place to educate yourself on which oil does what and how to use the oils safely. If you do not have a reference book, then consider an app. For a 101 class, keep reading.
The reference guide that I use is:
Essential Oils Pocket Reference (life science).
The reference App that I use: Live Well and Pocket On The Go
The Young Living Farms
Each plant is grown on a farm in the region that is best suited for it to grow most beneficially, and each farm is owned by Young Living themselves so that they can watch over and monitor the whole process from seed to seal. They allow you to visit many of these farms around the world and I hear its an amazing experience, which you should aspire to do yourself one day. Young Living’s founder was a big fan of doing things the right way, caring for everything down to each plants soil. You can learn about the farms <– here, or on Young Living’s website.
Founder D. Gary Young
I wish you could have met D. Gary Young because he loved animals, he loved people and his family, and he loved what he believed in. He seemed like a wholehearted guy, a leader who deserved to lead. A man who put his heart and soul into everything that he did such as Young Living. As a result, he created more than just a company, he created a family within the community and organization, he found a way to help as many people as possible and he helped the earth too.
Do You Want To Aspire To Help Others?
By joining Young Living you are giving yourself the opportunity to do something great. You have many options when joining Young Living (explanations on request). You can either become a retail member, a wholesale member, a wholesale rewards member, or you can become an independent distributor. Where if you rank high enough you can aspire to help the world too.
Do You Have A Dream To Help Others, Animals, Or The Earth?
If you were to earn a surplus of income, what would you do with it? How would you help yourself and others? Would you travel, own a mansion, start a business or non-profit, or donate a portion of your profit to non-profit organizations and what organization(s) would that be? I would love to hear about your dream in the comments of this post.
Donate Now Or Support A Project
You do not have to do the business, nor do you have to wait to help Young Living give back to the world. After every purchase they allow members to place a donation to The D. Gary Young Young Living Foundation. Click the link to learn more and how you can help from sponsoring someone’s education to supporting one of their many projects. This foundation is truly amazing.
The Integrity Of Young Living And Our Products
You will love our high-quality “improve your wellness” products, they work well and they are pure.
**If you are currently using another brand of essential oils be sure that your oils are without impurities, synthetics, pesticide(s), chemicals, and toxins. Many other companies do not have to disclose what is in their product and they are allowed to say “100% essential oil” without listing other harmful ingredients. Young Living goes above and beyond to comfort you of their purity. Are you thinking of any products you own with these impurities?
“Can you say Ditch and Switch?”
Young Living products are very high in quality and they do not compare to anything you’d find at the store. They go above and beyond in selection to show you that they are the best. I have not found another company that has as big of a selection of essential oils and oil-based products like they do. They’re one of the few companies who allow ingesting of the white label vitality line (non-GMO and generally regarded as safe) oils and supplements. (Be sure to follow safety guidelines.)
I don’t know any other companies who welcome you to visit their farms with open arms as a means to say they have nothing to hide.

Seed To Seal
They have a seed-to-seal process that is so detailed that I have to leave a link for you to check it out because it takes a while to read it all. From the farm to your door, each plant and product must be approved of and every check must be checked off extensively. If one batch is off, they won’t use it. They have standards for sourcing and science and standards for their standards. Young Living tests each batch multiple times. They allow distributors and visitors to visit many of their farms and they’re a pretty open company. If you have questions, they usually have answers. Check out more here.
The Products
Young Living products help you to care for yourself and your family before you go below the wellness line instead of responding after it happens. This is especially helpful for the winter time when if one is under the wellness line, you’re all under the wellness line. Be the family who stands while others fall, and help them to stand with you so they can help others too.
The Type Of Products We Offer
We carry everything from essential oils, supplements, dental-care, hair-care, skin-care, and personal care products, cleaning supplies, make-up, products specifically designed for men, women, children, and pets, diffusers and accessories, and more. There are so many products that you have no choice but to choose one place to start and to slowly educate yourself and build your collection from there. Start small and take your time because good health is whatever your pace is that doesn’t cause you overwhelming stress. If it takes you ten years to grow your collection or 50 it doesn’t matter so long as it is a pace you are okay with.
The Kit You Will Start With
Young Living didn’t want to overwhelm their members with the great selection of products that they own, so they created a kit for everyone to get started with. The kit has grown abundantly with all of our favorite oils and products in them at HALF THE COST. This is the place I started and I wouldn’t recommend it any other way.
Once you are comfortable with the kit, continue with your education and grow your collection. Education is key for safety and to have a surplus of fun and enjoyment through every experience. Whether this is a new hobby, a new lifestyle or a new business you will love Young Living.
What’s In The Kit?
Young Living has an abundance of products and starter kits, but the one they recommend is the one I started with and I agree that you should start with it too. The main starter kit comes with the 12 most used oils. Some help you to sleep, focus, gain energy, balance your emotions, relieve stress, and support any part of your bodily functions.
You have a need and we have oil. “There is an oil for that”, many like to say.
You will also receive samples of our most popular, most used, and most loved products which are our thieves cleaner, thieves hand-sanitizer, two packets of Ningxia red, and a big beautiful diffuser of your choice.
Learn all of the great things you can do with your soon to be kit by taking my 101 class –> more soon.
Fun Thing You Can Do With Your Kit And Other Essential Oils
- Turn on your diffuser and try a popular recipe such as snickerdoodle, thin mint, tropical beach blends, fresh rain, etc.
- Create bath bombs, cough drops, roller bottles, inhalers, room sprays, car sprays, carpet sprays, counter sprays, soaps, natural self-care products, and more.
- Baking/Cooking. Must be a white-labeled vitality line bottle. Try a popular recipe like brownies, blondies, protein balls or bars, sweet or savory dips, dressings, and pasta sauce.
- Uniquely generate new perfumes or choose a recipe from the many perfume recipe books on Amazon. Most perfume recipes in books are more advanced. I suggest you start by choosing the scents you love in your kit most and start mixing and matching to see which new blends and effects you would enjoy wearing most and simply have fun!
- Other ideas include bug repellant, natural sunscreen, toothpaste, different salves, lip bombs and chapsticks, body butter, lotions, teas, lollipops, play dough, diffuser jewelry, and detangler sprays.

If I haven’t Convinced You Yet Here Is:
Why The Hype And What Is So Great About Young Living?
Young Living is not just about our amazing products. When you join Young Living you make a choice to make a lifestyle change. Starting with a “ditch and switch” you free your home from toxins and chemicals which are harsh on you, your family and your pet’s bodies! You gain prevention and wellness, and a supportive community (a family). Then additionally, if you join as an independent distributor, after a lot of hard work and self-training, you also gain direct and indirect personal growth, and you learn to rest when things get hard, not give up! The integrity of our company is phenomenal, and the products are overwhelmingly abundant and useful in your day to day lifestyle. Young Living will bless your life!

A Supportive Community (Your Family Outside Of Your Family)
You get a community who enjoys the “ditch and switch”, the lifestyle changes, the struggles at home, and the direct and indirect personal growth. How does it sound to do things together as a community with those who have similar interests? Together you will learn how to create vision boards and goals through reading books recommended by other distributors and friends, and then learn how to prioritize and succeed at those goals. You’ll go to classes and events together and cheer each other on. With brilliant women and men surrounding you, it’s hard not wanting to succeed and chase after what you want.
You gain friends new and old who you thought were out of your life for good or friends who you never expected to get along with. Most of all you get to know yourself, in fact, I think we ourselves grow more than our business does. The changes we see in each other motivates us to change ourselves because we see others living the lifestyle that we wish to live. It motivates you and changes you. Together, we stumble, break down and do it again until we magically make it to the finish line (a liveable income), but the journey is the prize.
No matter who you ask everyone will have their own special and unique testimony about how Young Living has changed their life for the better. However, it will be your testimony that matters!
Finally, Let’s Talk About Why You Should Invest In Your Health
This shouldn’t even be a question but I am going to answer it anyway. The following is merely theoretical, not a promise or guarantee, and it is simply a bit of hope from taking action now as opposed to after the fact.
How Do You Want To Live In Your Later Years?
You have only one body, one vessel, and it is your lifeline. Caring for it is the smartest and least selfish thing you can do for you and your family. Not only that but when you care for yourself, others will feel motivated to care for themselves. Investing in your health is teaching your children how to care for themselves at a young age so that they are more independent and capable in their teenage years. They will respect you more and respect themselves more. By holding yourself and others to higher expectations you will grow and they will grow. Be the change you wish to see in the world and others will follow.
The ultimate question is: what is the change you wish to see?
