Welcome to Young Living Essential Oils!

Welcome to the exciting world of essential oils! Nature's purest plant products - essential oils - have properties that will soothe the senses, invigorate the body, and promote physical well-being. The following guide has been prepared to help you get the most benefit from the oils that suit your lifestyle needs.

EXPERIENCE THE UNIQUE BENEFITS OF ESSENTIAL OILS IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

Direct Application:
Essential Oils may be applied topically to promote soothing and wellness of body and spirit. Because they are soluble with the lipid membranes of cells, they have an unmatched ability to penetrate and disperse within minutes throughout the body.

Massage:
Allowing the body to experience relaxation and soothing through a massage brings one to a condition of rest and transformation. Our therapeutic-grade essential oils are designed to work aromatically and functionally, and provide a well-needed delight to the senses.

To create your own custom massage oil, mix 3-4 drops of essential oil with 1/2 tsp. of a massage oil base, such as V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex. You can also use Young Living's premixed massage oils for a relaxing, stress-relieving massage. Pamper yourself and get in touch with the senses.

Dietary Supplements:
All essential oils that are identified as Safe For Consumption can be taken as a dietary supplement to promote physical well-being. Some oils (e.g., valerian, lemon, grapefruit, orange, nutmeg, tangerine, etc.) are more effective when taken orally. Essential Oils should be diluted in oil-soluble liquids such as vegetable oil, olive oil, Agave, or goat/rice milk prior to ingestion. More or less dilution may be required, depending upon how strong the oil is. Usually no more than 2 or 3 drops should be ingested at one time during any 4-8 hour period.

Essential oils should not be given as dietary supplements to children under 6 years of age. Parents should exercise caution before administering essential oils orally to a child, and oils should always be diluted prior to ingestion for children.

Diffusion:
To enhance the mood and perspective of your home or office environment, essential oils can be diffused. The Young Living diffuser is specially designed to disperse a micro-fine mist of oils that will generally fill a room in a few minutes. Essential oils are renown for improving meditation and mood, purifying the the air if airborne bacteria, fungus, mold, ad unpleasant odors, and refreshing a room.
