⋒ What are essential oils?

Essential oils are a highly concentrated version of the natural oils in plants.

They are obtained by a distilling process that involves every part of the plant, including roots, leaves, stems, flowers, and bark, resulting in oil containing the fragrance and healing properties of the plant. You can think of the oil as a plant’s immune system; it is the life-blood of the plant!

Essential oils can provide support to every system of our bodies, including hormones, nervous system, and metabolism. It only takes 2 minutes for oil molecules to hit the bloodstream, and only 20 minutes to affect every cell in your body!

⋒ What do we use oils for?

For just about everything!! Whether you are looking for oils to help you sleep, for natural immune system support, for energy, for focus, for relaxation, for your kids, for natural alternatives to cleaning products, the list is endless, there is an oil for that!! And you will learn along the way, there aren’t hard set rules, but part of joining our oils team is that you get access to the most amazing resources & our private facebook community.

⋒ Why Young Living?

YL has an unmatched Seed to Seal process to guarantee the purity & potency of every oil. Each batch of oils is rigorously tested in house for therapeutic viability & they are so confident in their products that you can actually visit the farms & participate in the harvest/distillation process.

⋒ How do we use oils?

There are three ways that you can use Young Living essential oils. Since Young Living’s oils are 100% pure therapeutic grade, they are safe to use in the following three ways:

1. Aromatically: Use an essential oils diffuser, inhale directly from the bottle, or place a drop in the palms of your hands and cup over your nose. This is the most gentle way to use essential oils.

2. Topically: Dilute with a carrier oil or apply ‘neat’ to your skin either directly at the source of concern or on the corresponding Vita Flex point on your feet. (some require a carrier oil like coconut oil, you’ll learn all about that later!), you can make rollerball combos, creams, sprays, and just about anything!!

3. Internally: Mix with water or use a clear vegetable capsule (with carrier added to the essential oil in your capsule) to ingest, add oils to water (always use a glass cup). Some oils can also be used in cooking and baking. NOTE: This can only be done with therapeutic grade essential oils and it is a personal decision to ingest. We recommend that before you decide to ingest, research for yourself to find your comfort level. Young Living’s Vitality line is GRAS approved (Generally Regarded as Safe) for internal usage.

⋒ How will I learn how to use my kit?

You’ll get plenty of reading material with your kit, but as mentioned above, you’ll get access to our exclusive Facebook community full of amazing resources like how to use each oil in your kit, which oils to avoid around kids or while pregnant/nursing, and all of the dilution ratios for individual oils. We have classes, books, live facebook hangouts & search functionality that will help you navigate through any questions you might have.

⋒ What should I get?

A premium starter kit, which comes with 12 of the most commonly used oils + your diffuser (I recommend the Desert Mist or the Aria to start out), is the best value & provides you with everything you need to get started. You’ll get over $300 worth of product for only $165.

⋒ Do you have to order more oils monthly or sell them?

Nope! Your kit can be a one time purchase, but along with it comes a wholesale membership, which just means that should you decide to purchase oils in the future, you would get a 24% discount!

You will also get a personal referral link should you ever decide that you want to share them, but neither is required. As a wholesale member, you will never ever be pressured to sell or share about your oils. You can simply enjoy our oily community–facebook group, classes, etc., and get your wholesale discount on all Young Living products.

However, if you ARE ever interested in starting your own business to sell Young Living products, our team will set you up for success with plenty of resources! We have a mentorship & tons of training videos to help you!

⋒ Are there any yearly fees?

The Young Living wholesale membership is included FREE with the purchase of a premium starter kit. Once you are a wholesale member, you receive 24% off all purchases of Young Living products! There is no monthly fee to maintain membership and no renewal fee. The only condition of maintaining membership is that you order at least 50pv (approx $50) of product per year, otherwise your membership would go on hold due to inactivity, and you would have to contact Young Living to reinstate it (but there would still be no renewal fee).

⋒ What’s the difference between Doterra & Young Living?

Both companies make very high-quality essential oils. Young Living, however, has been in business longer (YL founded in 1993, and DoTerra in 2008), which not only means that Young Living has a better-established track record of quality, but they also offer a much broader range of products. Additionally, only Young Living is committed to quality and control from “seed to seal.” For a great article comparing the two companies, check out this comparison. 

⋒ I’ve heard you talk a lot about rollers – – what’s the deal with them?

Rollers are a great way to apply oils topically. Don’t be intimidated, it’s fun and easy to make your own rollers of all your favorite oil blends! I have quite a few highlights on this very topic!

⋒ How & why do you use a diffuser?

Diffusers are a super-easy way to use oils aromatically for therapeutic use, and to make your house smell great! It’s one of the best ways to get oils around/in your body! I have a diffuser in every room in our house!

HOW TO PICK A DIFFUSER BLEND:
The key is to choose a diffuser blend based on your wellness need. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
1️⃣ HOW DO YOU WANT TO FEEL
Ask yourself – “How am I feeling?” 👉🏼 “Would you benefit from access to more energy? more focus? calm? rest? or boosted immune system? The good news is: there’s a diffuser blend for that. Follow your mood, your wellness & your nose to the blend best suited to helping you meet that need” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ PICK YOUR OILS
Oils are hecka versatile. ex: lavender can help you sleep AND help ya focus. Remember – everybody’s bodies are different, so this is where you wanna use intuition & good ole trial and error. Take the lids off, hold the bottles up to your nose to get a whiff, and see if it suits your fancy!

Here’s a little cheat sheet of oils by category:
⋒ CALM: Lavender, Stress Away, Northern Lights, Palo Santo, White Angelica
⋒ FOCUS: Frankincense, Rosemary, Vetiver, Orange, Geneyus blend ⠀⠀⠀⠀
⋒ ENERGY: Peppermint, citrus oils, Basil, Geranium
⋒ HAPPY: any citrus oil, Joy blend, Valor, Spearmint, Inner Child ⠀⠀⠀⠀
⋒ WELL: Thieves, Raven, Oregano, Frankincense
⋒ REST: Chamomile, Cedarwood, Dream Catcher blend, Patchouli

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ CHOOSE THE RATIO OF DROPS
It’s important to think about the aroma strength of the oils you’ve picked! If one aroma is very powerful, you would not want to blend equal amounts because it’ll overtake the others. A great example of this is rosemary is STRONG & will overpower lavender.
