Get Started with Essential Oils: The Why and Where

My Journey to Essential Oils:

I started a journey to natural health and wellness through my sons diagnosis of a rare disease of his esophagus and multiple food allergies 12 years ago when he was just 1 year old.  My life of processed foods, eating wherever I wanted, and not paying attention to the environment around me was turned upside down and on its head.

Somewhere in this process, I had heard of essential oils and the fact they they were a good thing for many reasons but didn't know any more.  So when my good friend Dani had a class that fit my schedule, I jumped on the opportunity to learn about essential oils.

--- LIFE CHANGED --- never before has one class changed my life so thoroughly.  I learned how to use them, heard testimonies of their use, and was given tools to help me along in the journey.  Read about how to use them here with an online version of a starter guide.

Within two weeks, my family knew we had a reason to share with others.  And that, my new friends, why I am here  to share.  The more people that become aware of the use of essential oils, the more lives that are changed in the name of health and wellness through natural, healthy means!

My entire family has found oils that have brought about health and wellness of both the mind and body in the last year that we have never known.  It is amazing as we have removed the chemicals and toxins from our home and replaced them with the plants that God has given us to clean, eat, use on our skin, and breath in our air, our bodies have responded with nothing but a positive response.  (*important note - do not ingest oils that are not intended for internal use - see seed to seal quality)

Money Savings and Tidbits to Share

This past year our family has saved money from the use of our Young Living Premium Starter Kit.  By replacing former items that we used to buy with essential oils, our budgets have decreased in other areas causing for a net gain to the family's overall budget in health and wellness.

I seriously believe that no matter what a person's budget, essential oils are the right choice as you will be amazed at how many uses you will find for essential oils in your lives.

Some things I have learned about oils that you MUST know!
1.  I needed support to learn how to use oils in a safe and effective way!
2.  It is NOT safe to ingest all oils.  Oils that are not the right quality can cause damage to your body!!!  You CAN ingest Young Living oils (there are others you can ingest too -- just be sure they are the right quality).
3.  A company is allowed to label their oils as 100% pure with only having 10% essential oils in the bottle.  In fact, they do not have to label the other 90% of the ingredients.
4.  A company is not required to disclose the method of distillation to retrieve the essential oils.  Some methods destroy the chemistry and effectiveness of the essential oils leaving you with an essential oil that may have a nice smell, but zero effectiveness on health and wellness.  Some methods even cause harm to the user of the oil if they have used toxins in the process.
5.  Some oils are "adulterated" which changes their chemistry. 

Why I choose Young Living 

1.  My honest first reason is because I was at Dani's party and my friend Rechelle had been researching oils beforehand.  I was so amazed and impressed at what had been presented and the value of the offer being given that I asked her (Rechelle) if this quality thing was important or the real deal - I knew her, trusted her research, and decided to go for it!

After seeing the results and wanting to be completely genuine in telling others why Young Living is so awesome, I did a bunch of research and decided that IF I had done my own research before, I still would have chosen Young Living because:

1.  Young Living has a seed to seal guarantee which gives me the knowledge that the integrity of reason #2 is real.  Check out the seed to seal guarantee.
2.   Young Living uses only the first press of the oil.  Think of a tea bag - the more you use the tea bag, the less potent the tea becomes.  Using the first press means that the essential oils found in your bottles are potent and require less of the oil than others who use the complete press.
3.  The support received through Oily Families and EssentOily are second to none for both me as a user and as a business owner.  They have trained and empowered me to support others.
4.  The Premium Starter Kit has extreme value.

Things of note on the Membership Enrollment Page:

*Young Living, a 20+ year old company, asks for your Social Security Number in the case that you choose to pursue the business side of Young Living per IRS rules.  If you are not comfortable with giving Young Living this number, you can get an EIN from the IRS to give Young Living right now.  If you ever make more than $600 in one year, Young Living would send you a 1099 as required by the IRS.  Young Living would NEVER share this information!

*You will create a 4-digit pin that you will need to give to customer service if you should need to call customer service for any reason in order to protect your identity.

Your kits comes with this set of oils, samples, and literature (described above) and your choice of one of 4 diffusers listed below.  The price of each Premium Starter Kit depends on the diffuser chosen.

 

Step Three: 
Essential Rewards

This step is COMPLETELY optional.  

Young Living offers us a program to earn points towards free product and gives reduced shipping.

Step Four:  
Monthly Bonus Freebies
Again, this step is optional...

Each month you can earn free product for ordering particular Product Value (PV).

Your starter kit is 100 PV which means you could earn free products by ordering 90 or more PV in addition to your starter kit.

Here are some suggestions to get you 95.25 additional PV which will get you a free peppermint oil.  If you want to see my other "must haves," you could earn more as well (see August's promotions in the picture above):

1.  Valor II - 22.75pv (for every human who needs courage or motivation) 
2.  Thieves spray 3pk 22.75pv (don't leave home without it)
3.  Oregeno 27.75pv (my health and wellness kit will NOT be without it!)
4.  Thieves Household Cleaning Concentrate 22pv (clean your home chemical free with this amazing cleaner that lasts forever and smells great!  My one bottle has lasted almost a year now.) 

the last two are three we will NEVER be without again in our home!!!

7. Ningxia Nitro 38.75p (I am ultra sensitive to caffeine and was nervous to even try this one.  It sat in my fridge for about 3 months before I decided that 3 hours worth of sleep was simply NOT enough to teach a class.  Nitro is TRUE to it's word wto clear the mind and enhance mental fitness, while also providing a boost of energy and daily pick-me-up!) 

8.  Progessence Plus - 37.50pv (my husband's best friend - he checks it's levels to be sure I have enough - everyone with ovaries should have this - no matter your age, it's good stuff!!)

9.  Ninxgia Red 71pv (benefitting all 9 systems of my body, I have never looked or felt so good and neither has my husband or daughter!!!  Again, I was hesitant to "believe" - but once I tried, I was hooked!!)
