How to get your own essential Oils!

Welcome!!!  I have to start off with a disclaimer.  I am not a dr or a nurse.  I can not diagnose, treat or cure anything.  I am here to give you information and ideas that have worked for my family and friends.  Please use common sense.  Do not stop any meds unless talking to your doctor first.

I also want to say all oils I speak of on this blog is Young Living oils.  Please understand that all oils are not made the same.  Only 3% of oils on the market are truly pure.  I trust Young living and would only use these with my family.  Please do your research before using any essential oil.

Ok....now that is out of the way I will tell you a bit about our family.  We have four children.  One son as asthma and allergies.  One daughter is gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant.  Our other daughter is gluten intolerant and has issues with yeast infections.  Our 5 yr old son is adopted and has down syndrome and has sensory processing disorder.  I have been on a mission the past 3 yrs to research ways to help my family and  help us live better lives.  Recently we have discovered Young living essential oils and they rock our world!  We are loving them and I am so excited how many different things I can treat naturally.  It truly is about taking control of your lives.  Knowing what you are using and how you can use them to change your lives for the better.

I pray that information I post can help you understand the amazing benefits essential oils have for your family.

Let's review exactly what is an essential oil, where do we get them and why purity and quality are so important.

"Oils are the aromatic, volatile liquids distilled from plants. The oil can be obtained from the seeds, roots, an entire shrub, flowers, leaves, and trees. Each plant may contain hundreds of molecular chemical compounds with names such as terpenes, sesquiterpenes, phenols and aldehyes, just to name a few. For example, Clary sage has 900 different molecules and lavender over 400. Essential oils are very complex and currently under much study for their remarkable benefits to our health.

The majority of our plant essential oils are obtained by steam distillation to release their precious oil. Young Living uses a proprietary steam distillation process using low heat, proper pressure, time and of course fresh, properly, organic grown and harvested plants to deliver essential oils whose quality and purity are unmatched in today’s market. There are many essential oils out there to choose from. There are essential oils used in the textile manufacturing industry, cleaning products, in rubber and plastic manufacturing, for food flavoring, cosmetics and perfumes. Whether an essential oil is adulterated or synthesized in many cases makes little difference to these groups, as they are not looking for a therapeutic effect.

Young Living Essential Oils go through numerous independent lab tests and are graded to meet or exceed Young Livings own high standards which often exceed common AFNOR and ISO standards. They are never adulterated, synthetic or chemically enhanced. If they do not make the grade (which sometime oils from plants not grown on their global farm land do not) – they are not given the Young Living label. They are returned and the grower simply sells to the next person in line – this was a recent case for helichrysum.

The old adage – you get what you pay for is true in the essential oil industry.

Let me give you an example, Cypress: Ithas280knownchemicalconstituents. If it is distilled for 20 hours you only get 20 of the 280 properties. If distilled for 26 hours you get zero properties. Most market cypress is distilled for 3 1/2 hours. The correct length of time for distilling cypress is 24 hours, you will get the full 280 properties. If you want cypress to the job it is intended to do, you must get all 280 constituents.

Before YL, I used many brands of essential oils for nearly two years, names you would all be familiar with – but neither I nor my clients were very impressed, so I went back to my master herbalist background and just helped people with standard herbal preparations.

Then in early 2000 a student at one of my workshops told me about Young Living. I said thank you, I’ve tried essential oils and was not overly impressed. She persisted that Young Living was different so I decided to give them a try – it’s now been 9 years and I have seen Young Living oils change and save peoples lives. I, for one, would rather not use essential oils if I couldn’t use Young Living. There is a definite difference.

Did you know that in 2004 when the human genome was mapped, that more covered the olfactory system (smell) than any other part of the body?

Cheap, synthetic, diluted oils are potentially toxic. Therefore, it is very important that you use only high quality essential oils from a trusted source – right from the farms. Young Living has over 4,500 acres of aromatic farm land where properly grown, harvested, distilled, bottled and blended oils are produced. Young Living is the largest therapeutic grade essential oils producer. Other aromatic farms where we get oils are personally inspected by Gary Young, founder of Young Living, to be sure our high standard of cultivation, harvesting and distillation are met.
