Maybe you've heard someone talk about essential oils lately.. like at your kiddo's ballgame or on instagram. They're kind of all over the place. And guess what? They're totally not a fad! They were actually mentioned in the bible! I'd say that is a lengthy track record. So lets talk about what essential oils are.
Essential oils are just that - oils.
They're the “lifeblood” of a plant, and when these plants are grown in the right conditions, harvested at the perfect correct time, and distilled with the utmost care (read more about Young Living's Seed To Seal process here) they can aid in keeping our bodies healthy, well, and happy.. Which is exactly how our bodies were intended to be!
Essential oils are composed of teeny molecules. These molecules are so small that they can pass through our tissues and directly into our cells. Our systems are super effective and can transport these molecules all over our bodies within a matter of minutes!
Not all oils are created equal!
Not all oils are safe to use like Young Living essential oils are. Those oils you saw at the health store or grocery store cannot be ingested the way Young Living oils can. There are no laws restricting the other oil brands from using "100% pure" on the labels- even if they use dangerous synthetic oils and additives! Isn't that crazy?!
Young Living is the ONLY company that grows it’s own plants from start to finish, and owns their own farms, with the strictest standards around. Any time you hold a bottle of Young Living powerful essential oils, you’re guaranteed to be holding the 100% PURE Therapeutic grade essential oils.

1- AROMATICALLY
Oils can also be inhaled directly from the bottle, or by using a diffuser. This is actually the quickest way for your body to use the oils. And your house will smell amazing.
2- TOPICALLY
Using oils on your skin is a quick and efficient way to get oils into your system. You can also wear essential oils as perfume and to lift your mood.
Remember to check your YL oil labels for dilution instructions. Some oils need to be diluted with a carrier oil (coconut oil, grape-seed oil, organic olive oil, V6 oil, etc.) while others can be applied directly on the skin with no dilution (referred to as “neat.”)
3- INTERNALLY
Lastly, 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, cook with them, or even add them into a veggie capsule. The Vitality line is clearly labeled for this use.
