Essential Oils are the extracts that are taken from plants by "steam distillation, cold pressing, or resin tapping." They can be taken from the leaves, roots, or flowers of herbs, plants, and trees. Since they are natural they are quickly able to reach your body resulting in positive effects on the mind and body.

For each product that Young Living releases they have their promise of purity. This promise is called the SEED to SEAL promise. The SEED to SEAL promise is the five steps that Young Living takes to produce their essential oils.

SEED
This is the first step in the Young Living process. They select seeds that are going to produce plants with optimal compounds.

CULTIVATE
This is the second step in the Young Living process. In this step they use their expertise in agriculture to monitor the high standards that are in place for producing essential oils.

DISTILL
Combining techniques from the past to more recent to maintain the ideal plant compounds is the third step in the Young Living SEED to SEAL process.

TEST
Testing each oil is the fourth step in the SEED to SEAL process. For this step Young Living uses their own labs to test each batch of oil to guarantee the quality commitment that they have provided their customers for decades.

SEAL
This is the final step in the process. In this step each oil is carefully inspected and packaged before shipped off around the world.

For anything that you are putting in your body or using for your body it is important that safety is one of the most important things that you consider. For using your essential oils there are a few key things that you should consider when using the oils:

STORING YOUR OILS
When storing your oils it is important to keep them in a cool place. This is key in making sure your oils stay in their purest form.

KEEP AWAY FROM EYES AND EARS
Because the oils are not water-soluble it is recommended that you keep the oils away from your eyes and ears. However, if this was to occur it is recommended that you use a carrier oil to cleanse the area.

DO NOT USE THE OILS INTERNALLY
On each bottle of Young Living oil, it will give you directions for how to use the oil and what to use it for. Unless it says that the oil can be used as a food additive or a dietary supplement it is not recommended that you use the oils internally.

The great thing about these oils is that they truly do help your entire body. From your digestive system, immune system, musculoskeletal systems, respiratory system, and your reproductive system there is truly an oil for everything. Not only does Young Living offer oils but they also offer other forms of ways to be healthy.

Although the starter kit doesn't feature everything that Young Living has to offer there are three main ways that you can use your starter kit.

DIRECT APPLICATION
Direct Application is one of the easiest ways to use any of your oils and it is also one of the quickest ways to disperse the oils throughout your body.

AROMATICALLY
Diffusing oils is another way to improve the environment around you. When you diffuse oils you are purifying the air.

INTERNALLY
Because of the SEED to SEAL approach that Young Living takes, you are able to take oils internally! However, you can only take specific oils that are dietary supplements. You can find this information by reading the directions on the bottle.

Essential oils can be used in many ways but the most effective would probably be direct application. This includes rubbing them on the bottom of your feet, your wrists, temples, neck, chest, etc. The oils quickly pass through the body this way. Another way that oils can be used is through diffusing. Diffusing oils is a great way to purify your space and the air that you are breathing. Diffusing is the most common way that I have used my oils however, direct application can be great too. For example, I suffer from psoriasis, a skin disease  for which there is no cure. To make sure it doesn’t flare up I continually put lavender on the direct area. The lavender is one of the most diverse oils and serves as a nutrient to your skin as well as having a calming effect. Some of the other ways that you can take in essential oils is by taking them internally. This is something I have never tried before but have previously done a lot of research on. When you take the oils internally, you typically see them used by making capsules.That is another great thing about Young Living! They have a specific line called Vitality that is safe for internal use. These oils allow you to add them to drinks, food, or make the capsules that I discussed previously.

I was given my starter kit as a gift for my birthday. The starter kit is a kit where you get the main essential oils. Therefore, I got: lavender, peppermint, lemon, copaiba, frankincense, thieves, purification, R.C., DiGize, Stress Away, and PanAway. In your starter kit you also receive a diffusor. A diffuser is what you use to get the oils into the air. This specific diffuser  functions as a humidifier, atomizer, and aroma diffuser.

They sell supplements such as vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy snacks. One of their biggest sellers is something they call Ningixa Red. It is a drink (that’s red of course) that contains wolfberries and several other natural ingredients to promote energy levels and whole body health. Young Living also has other products that include shampoo, conditioners, body washes, toothpaste, and even a line for your dogs! This includes treats, bones, and snacks.

There are many brands of essential oils such as doTerra or genetic versions but I live for my Young Living  oils. The difference between Young Living and other brands of essential oils is the Seed to Seal approach that Young Living takes before sending out their products. To make sure these oils are the most pure they have a process. This process includes getting the essential oils (Seed), cultivating them, distilling them, testing them for the active compounds within, and lastly sealing them.

I love my oils and all the different things that they can do. However, my favorite oil to use is thieves. Thieves is a blended oil that is made by a mixture of clove, cinnamon bark, rosemary, lemon, and eucalyptus. Since I have bad allergies this is one of the best things I have found to give me that natural cure that I love. Its focus is on maintaining a healthy immune system. However, the nice thing about Thieves is that is has many more uses . As you know the cleaners that you use everyday are full of chemicals. These chemicals take seconds to enter your body. However, now you can clean with Thieves and let me remind you that they are not harmful! Young Living has an entire line of cleaning items that revolve around Thieves. This line includes hand soap, hand sanitizer, spray (like Clorox), dish soap, cough drops, and much much more. Using thieves to clean and help your immune system is the best combination of all!
