This introduction into the world of essential oils should answer some of the questions you have, but feel free to message me via Instagram, Facebook, or send me an email to Viviane.AromaNest@gmail.com if you want to chat.
In February Young Living launched a brand new, limited-edition starter kit called the Welcome Home Kit. Oil users love it because it’s an awesome place to start! It’s at a lower price point that other starter kits, it comes with 8 oils (4, 15ml oils and 4, 5ml oils) a shelf, and literature.
The magic of this kit is that it is perfect if you already have a diffuser, want to choose your own diffuser, or just want to dip your toes in!
The essential oils included in this kit smell incredible… but they have more benefits than just aroma, so let’s dive into it today!
SEED TO SEAL
Seed to Seal. You will probably hear that phrase mentioned a lot in the future. It is the foundation; the very base Young Living was built on. What Seed to Seal means is that Young Living controls the entire process of producing these pure, therapeutic grade oils;
from carefully selecting the seeds they plant, to ensure the highest standards through the cultivation and growing process,
to using innovative distilling of the oils to preserve their precious constituents,
then testing each oil they’ve distilled to make sure they meet stringent standards,
all the way to bottling and sealing each oil to make sure you receive the very best essential oil available for you and your family.
Young Living owns its own farms, its own distilleries, and its own laboratories to achieve the highest quality control standards. Because of all of this, we can rest assured that Young Living won’t allow a substandard product to leave its facilities.
Young Living owns fields all over the world: Utah, Idaho, Canada, France, and Ecuador, just to name a few. They’ve made the decision to grow plants in their indigenous region. So, for example, Frankincense is harvested from the resin growing on trees in Oman. Why would we want or expect anything less from a wellness company than the very best product possible?
Additionally, Young Living’s oils are highly concentrated with no fillers added to the bottle. They use the first distillation while other companies use the fifth or sixth press. Look at it this way – if you were making a pot of coffee, the first pot you brew will be very strong. The perfect cup of coffee, really. If you use the same filter, filled with the same (now used) grounds, the next pot won’t be as strong. Good, maybe…but not great. It’s the same with essential oils. So, in essence, when other companies are using the sixth press, there won’t be much left to squeeze out of the plant. They have to use fillers and add other preservatives and chemicals to fill the bottle. Young Living isn’t like that – they use the first press, and they fill your bottle with only essential oils. For most of us, Seed to Seal is the reason we chose Young Living. As Young Living says, “It’s more than a slogan, it’s a promise!” For more information on Seed to Seal, go to: seedtoseal.com
HOW TO USE YLEO + CARRIER OILS
There are three ways to use Young Living Essential Oils (YLEO): Topically, Aromatically, and by Ingestion.
TOPICALLY means to apply directly to the body. We always recommend you dilute your YLEO with a carrier oil – like coconut oil or grapeseed oil – until, at the very least, you know how your body is going to react to the oils. Many essential oils are “hot” oils, so you’ll always use a carrier oil with them.
AROMATICALLY means to breathe in the oils. In your kit, you’ll get a diffuser, and that’s the easiest way to use essential oils, but you can also put a drop or two in your hands and cup them over your nose and mouth and breathe deeply. You could even put a little essential oil on a cotton ball and stick it into the vents of your car!
INGESTING your oils means to swallow them – either in drink or food, or by filling a vegetable capsule. Some people are very comfortable with ingesting and others aren’t. This is a very personal choice and we won’t judge based on your decision either way. Not all oils are made to be ingested, so please refer to the label of each oil for proper usage instructions. NOTE: All “Vitality” oils are part of Young Living’s dietary oils line and are GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) and can be ingested if you choose to do so.
CARRIER OILS are important to help stretch your essential oils, both to help carry the oils to a greater area on the body and to adjust the heat in those hot oils, plus it just makes good fiscal sense!
Carrier oils we like:
- V6 Vegetable Oil Complex (a specially formulated carrier oil blend from Young Living)
- Coconut Oil (we like unrefined and organic, if you can find it. Sam’s & Costco have the best prices we’ve found)
- Grapeseed Oil (find it in the cooking oil aisle)
- Fractionated Coconut Oil (this is a liquid and can be found at certain health food stores and on Amazon)
- Sweet Almond Oil
- Jojoba Oil
- Avocado Oil
- Argan Oil (this is a Moroccan oil that absorbs quickly and is good for skin and hair)
