I feel truly blessed to have found Young Living Essential Oils and be a part of this dynamic and caring organization. For over a year now, I have been actively trying to remove chemicals from our family home. From dryer sheets (I now use wool dryer balls which should last me forever, seriously), to laundry pods (see my previous post), to diffusers that double as air fresheners and humidifiers, to wood floor cleaners. Truly - I used to be the gal who insisted that her husband clean the bathroom with all the windows open otherwise it would trigger an asthma attack.
After doing a year’s worth of research, I decided upon Young Living Essential Oils. I found Young Living to be deeply committed to the purity and quality of their oils, from Seed to Seal. Their oils go through a strenuous testing and distilling process in order for them to be most effective and safe. Oils you can purchase at stores, while they may be cheaper, have no regulations, meaning they can be adulterated with chemicals and water to make them go further. Young Living Essential Oils are the only ones I know and trust enough to share with you.
Quick note, did you know that there are over 200 references to aromatics, incense and ointments in the Bible? Many oils such as frankincense, myrrh, cinnamon and rosemary were used for anointing and healing the sick. When I read all about this, I really did feel that God was nudging me towards this option for my family.
I started slowly - with Peppermint. I had read that when the throbbing started in my head, I should use Peppermint. So, that’s exactly what I did (after two doses of an over-the-counter medication) - see, I too was skeptical at first. So, after four hours and no relief, I finally rubbed the Peppermint on my temples. 20 minutes later I was amazed to tell my husband that I was pain free. But, next came the real test - asking my husband (THE ULTIMATE SKEPTIC) to use it. Telling him to rub Peppermint Oil on his temples was akin to asking him to “rub a penny on a wart and then burying it in the backyard”. Apologies to my mother-in-law for that reference! But, after badgering him enough, he agreed. And you know what - he came to me about 15 minutes later and was a believer.
From there we branched out into diffusing Lemon-Lavender-Peppermint (LLP) to help with seasonal nasal issues. One morning my husband discovered that he was out of his OTC medication so I started diffusing LLP in his office. About 2 hours later he stopped by my office and told me that whatever was diffusing in his office 1) smelled great; and 2) helped stop his sniffling, sneezing, and watery eyes.
We are now a family of believers. My kids love Lemon Myrtle and swear that it makes them nicer to each other. Our dog tends to freak out over fireworks, and this year I patted his fur with Peace and Calming. He was more calm than in years past (even falling asleep while the fireworks were still going off in our neighborhood).

So How Do I Use the Oils?
* Inhale - deep breaths of the bottle or by diffusing {my favorite method}
* Topically - apply directly to the skin or diluted with a carrier oil
* Ingest - through drops placed in water or foods or by gelatin capsule
The uses are endless!
What Kit Would You Recommend for Starting Out?
I would highly recommend starting with the Premium Kit. The Premium Starter Kit contains everything you need to start and experience these oils for an amazing value. This kit includes the 10 Everyday Oils, Stress Away Oil Roll-On, 10 Essential Oil Samples, Ningxia Red Samples, references for getting started, and the Diffuser {which alone is $100}. A $300 value for $150! to start out - everything you need to get started at a exceptional value of $150 (over $300 value). That seemed a little hefty to me at first, but I can say it's saved us money in the long run from over-the-counter drugs, cleaning supplies, and probably doctors visits.
