Why Young Living, you ask?
Young Living is a company that goes to great lengths to ensure the integrity of their essential oils. They have perfected the distillation process. In fact, they have traveled the world to study the history and art of essential oils in order to never compromise a single drop of oil. They are the only oil company in the world that has a Seed to Seal standard.
They own over 5,000 acres of land on four different continents where they raise their own plants that will become their essential oils. What they don't raise themselves is wild crafted (gathered from the wild). They harvest the plants at their peak performance, and they have built their own distilleries right on their farms so there is no "drying out" time after the plants are harvested.
Each batch of oil is tested to ensure it meets specific chemical constituent requirements. The oils are also third party tested and approved by the FDA for internal consumption. In fact, Young Living has developed most of the testing and standards for the American essential oils industry.
Young Living does not taint, dilute, or adulterate their oil in any way; and they’re so principled in this standard that they open up their facilities for the public to come and see the harvest, distillation, testing, bottling and packaging of their essential oils.
Young Living has a wholesale membership (like Costco or Sam's Club) that you can purchase to get 24% off of your products. There are no requirements to maintain the membership other than purchasing $50 once each year. They have a HUGE selection of oils, with 86 singles and 78 blends. They also offer a wide selection of supplements, hygiene products, and household supplies.
These oils have worked for us time and time again, with marked results and consistently few variables. It is clear to us that they are effective. We are so grateful that this company has made these incredible oils available to us… to fill our cabinets and shelves full of products that work naturally with our bodies… that are pure and effective.
