How I Began My Journey with Young Living Essential Oils

Hello! I'm new to Young Living Essential Oils as a distributor, but not new to essential oils. I've seen them at the natural foods store and been intrigued. I've used lesser brands from time to time in my home and my practice as a midwife. After attending some Young Living classes, I have learned that quality and purity are very important for seeing therapeutic results. It is of paramount importance for the oils to not be acquired by using solvents and to use the 1st distillation rather than the 2nd or 3rd distillation. Later distillations contain fewer beneficial constituents in the oil.

Even before I signed up with Young Living, I was obsessed with the scent of Thieves oil. I wanted to bathe in it! My friend gave me a sample of Thieves and I used it very quickly! I decided to join Young Living just so I could buy all the Thieves oil I wanted.

I started by purchasing the Premium Starter Kit, which contains Peppermint, Lemon, Lavender, Thieves, Peace & Calming, Joy, Purification, Frankincense, Panaway and Valor. I also received sample packets of 5 oils, 2 samples of Ningxia Red, a roller ball fitment and a bottle of Stress Away.

I used the Thieves orally on my toothbrush and for immune boosting. I also used it for cleaning. I added Lemon to my drinking water. Peppermint was great for headaches. Lavender in my toddler's bath relaxed her before bedtime. However, I did not know much about the rest of the oils and their uses. I went online and read oil-testimonials.com. I looked at a few of my health complaints to see how others had resolved them using Young Living Oils. Then I looked up my husband's health issues. Then my daughter's. And so on.

Finally, I made the decision to start using the oils therapeutically as others had suggested. If it worked for me, that would be great! I would have an alternative to herbs, supplements and homeopathics that were easier to access away from home. Here is what I discovered:

Stress Away smells amazing! I started using that as my every day scent, like a perfume. I am very sensitive to artificial fragrances and none of Young Living's oils have made me sneeze ever. I started using Lemon to clean my bathroom and Purification as bug repellent. I discovered that Peppermint was perfect for my hot flashes and did not negatively affect my milk supply. Peace & Calming has become a bedtime ritual instead of taking valerian tincture. Lavender helped my toddler through teething, just placing it diluted in coconut oil on her back. Thieves repels ants. Valor also smells good enough to use as perfume but it helped my neck aches from poor sleeping positions. I started using Panaway on me and my husband's muscles aches and pains. My husband said he had greater rotational movement in his bicep then he'd had in weeks using Panaway. Joy we use in the diffuser to uplift the mood of the house. Peppermint, Lemon and Lavender taken together can prevent allergies. a drop of Lemon gets the goo off of jars. I'm now using Frankincense on all of us to see how it affects our scars...but this will take some time before we see results.
