Since a good amount of my posts will have something to do with Young Living Essential Oils, I thought maybe we should start at the beginning and get a little background on the company, and essential oils.
Young Living is all about VIBRANT health, wellness, self-care, and taking charge of our lifestyle and wellness choices.
I'm not an expert, and I'm certainly not a doctor, but I do want to make better choices when it comes to my health and wellness. If I can do that without the use of prescription or over the counter "conventional" medicine, all the better.
EO's are volatile substances derived from plants, containing the natural smell and characteristics of the plant. They are extracted primarily through steam distillation. These potent, volatile oils are often called the "life blood" of the plant. They have protective properties which are the plants natural defense mechanism.
Since EO's are volatile, they will evaporate, unlike a fatty oil. Essential oils are extracted from trees, shrubs, flowers and stems and seeds. EO's don't have a shelf life. They last a long, long time.
The purest, most potent for of an herb. 1 drop of peppermint = 26 cups of peppermint tea; 5,000lbs of rose petals = 2.2lbs of rose oil.
EO's are nothing new. Historically, essential oils are the oldest known form of medicine, dating back to 4500BC. They're mentioned over 180 times in the Bible. In 1922, 122 liters of EO's were found in King Tut's tomb. When tested, they showed all chemical constituents meaning they were still just as potent as ever.
EO's can be helpful for supporting ALL body systems.
So, why Young Living Essential Oils? Because of their Seed to Seal Promise. YLEO uses the proper species of seed. They cultivate organically grown, beyond certified organic standards. Weed control is done by hand, and they're harvested at the proper time of year. The proper part of the plant is distilled without chemicals. They do rigorous testing in house, and by a third party. They're bottled and labeled in Spanish Fork, Utah. YL owns it's own farms, unlike most other companies. Anyone is welcome to visit the farms and view the distilleries. YL is a full disclosure company.
Keep in mind that any information provided on my blog only pertains to Young Living Essential Oils, I cannot speak for any of the "other" companies.
