Essential Oils

Hey everyone!

 I recently mentioned that I am now an independent distributor for Young Living Essential Oils, and now I get to explain to you why I truly believe in these products!

I was introduced to Young Living Essential Oils not too long ago, and as you can tell, I have become infatuated with them!
A healthy lifestyle is important to me, so I want as much natural, organic products to have and use in my life. Being as healthy as possible is a daily struggle, so any help is something I appreciate! That's where the oils come into play.
A lot of the products we use everyday, we are uncertain of the chemicals and ingredients that transfer on or into our bodies. With essential oils, you know exactly what ingredient is used and that it is natural and pure.

Why Young Living Essential Oils?
(From my own personal experiences)

I have been using Young Living essential oils practically everyday since I was introduced to them. The oils are natural and pure, which means they can be used for almost anything you can imagine. Whether you diffuse, apply on skin, take internally, inhale, or use for massages, these oils are marvelous. The company hand picks everything, from the seeds, to the products that are delivered out, making sure that people receive the purest products.

I won't go into much detail, but I suffer from chronic pain, and some other health issues. I am beginning to get started finding the right oil(s) for me, to help with my health problems, and overall well-being. I am hoping these oils could eventually be a natural alternative to taking certain medications.

So far, all of my experiences with Young Living Essential Oils has been extremely positive!

Thieves oil is the main oil I have had diffusing in our home. After hearing reviews from family and friends that the thieves oil has helped prevent them from getting sick, or has helped them recover more quickly from colds, etc., I decided to give it a try! Just like you, I was skeptical at first. However, believing more and more that the holistic approach is better than taking medicines (with who knows what ingredients), I decided it couldn't hurt to try it out. Even if you don't believe the thieves oil can help, the fragrance alone is fabulous. Nathan especially enjoys it.
Since diffusing the thieves oil almost every single day this winter season, I do feel that it has helped keep Nathan and I from getting colds/flu as often as we normally would.

The stress away oil has been a blessing as well. The scent is instantly relaxing for me. I was surprised how well the mixture of oils made this blend super intoxicating!



Frankincense has been another oil I use frequently. The smell reminds me of living in the middle east, and for me, that is relaxing and pleasant. It is also wonderful to use for massages!

Besides those reasons I already mentioned, I have found that I can use these oils for practically everything! Cooking, cleaning, perfume, diffusing, DIY projects, and much more!

For example: see my previous post about the lavender oil pillow spray:

For diet/health/weight-loss, I have been putting a few drops of the tangerine oil in my water to help keep me drinking more to stay hydrated and to help curb my appetite! I absolutely enjoy the added flavor! I'll have to get the grapefruit oil next!!    :)    Yum!
I LOVE that I can cook with these oils! They can add so much more flavor to my meals! I'm very excited to use them for cooking!!

I am also very happy to see that the company has multivitamins, weight management products/tools, and other nutritional products to help you live a healthier lifestyle. I'm looking forward to trying some of those products as well!

I received a sample of the NingXia Red drink in my starter kit, and couldn't wait to try it! The pomegranate, and cherry flavors seemed to be what I tasted the most, and it was GOOD! 8 oz. (a/k/a 1 cup) would only be about 120 calories, so that is a plus!
Per Young Living Essential Oils - "NingXia Red combines the extraordinary wolfberry superfruit with 100% pure essential oils in a powerful whole-body nutrient infusion."
It helps support all over wellness with antioxidants, so having a cup of this would be beneficial, especially if you drink it instead of sodas, sugary juices, etc.!



There are endless possibilities and uses for the essential oils. I look forward to experimenting more with them, and sharing my experiences with you!
