Health Care VS. Sick Care

With clinics on every corner and around 6,000 registered hospitals in the US, we are armed and ready to be sick. But what if we as a society made a shift, and were better at HEALTH care than we are at sick care? 

So often we react to issues versus coming at them prepared and ready. Being proactive with our health can be highly beneficial if we’re willing to do the work.

Are you ready to put your health first so you can have more days with your loved ones, your babies, your grand-babies? This class will show you just how simple that is. 

Ditch and Switch

I know that making healthy lifestyle choices isn’t always easy. Do you struggle to order the salad over the burger? Been there! Maybe you struggle with choosing to exercise regularly or maybe it’s hard for you to get solid sleep. Maybe your house is filled with questionable products and you don’t know where to start. Been there too!

Making these changes does not have to be overwhelming. You can take small steps that add up to big ones. Young Living is here to help you create a wellness LIFESTYLE, starting with the products in your home. Ditching the chemical-filled, hormone disrupting cleaner for a SAFE, plant-based cleaner infused with the best essential oils is a GREAT start. Then maybe you decide to ditch that toxic shampoo and switch it out for one that’s made from ingredients that are truly safe for you. Then maybe you move on to replace your laundry soap and so on. Small changes lead to big results. 

With ingredients that actually support a healthy body, Young Living oils and products are absolutely worth the investment. From skin care and makeup to a kid and baby line, pet products, supplements, food, and so much more, YL makes it easy to support everyone’s health!

What are essential oils & how does Young Living compare? 

They are the most powerful part of the plant! They are distilled from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, fruit, rinds, resins, and herbs.

Oils consist of hundreds of different natural, organic compounds.

In humans, they provide support for every system in the body:

  • your skeletal system,
  • muscular system,
  • circulatory system,
  • endocrine system,
  • hormones,
  • respiratory system, and
  • immune system.
  • They support brain health and a
  • healthy weight.
  • They are used extensively for spiritual support in your prayer life, as well as emotional support.

They have been used for thousands of years as beauty aids. An oil in a diffuser can soothe a child’s tough day at school, and provide a calming effect when you’ve had a stressful day at work. Oils can be used as an alternative to cleaning chemicals in the home. You can literally start swapping out every single chemical in your home to live a purer lifestyle; and you can do it without breaking the bank!

For me, it all came down to something called Seed to Seal and Young Living is the ONLY company that provides this. Seed to Seal is a quality commitment unlike anything else; they have control of the ENTIRE process, from the seed to the sealed bottle. You can rest assured that you’re getting a quality product made with the highest quality essentials oils and other naturally-derived ingredients.

At Young Living, we do not strip constituents to make our oils smell better. We do not mix species of the same oil. We do not spray weed killers or pesticides or herbicides or use genetically modified seeds. We spend $12-thousand-dollars per acre to hand-weed Lavender, instead of the industry standard of $60 per acre for the same plant. The industry standard is $60 per acre because spraying with pesticides is much cheaper than hand weeding. We do not distill with solvents like hexane.

Our soil is not tainted with mercury, arsenic, glyphosate, or any poison because our fields are untouched by toxic chemicals. We harvest at the exact time of day that Young Living’s research team has found to be the ideal time for that specific plant. We know when that peak is because of our extensive library on oils; the oldest and largest globally, compiled from nearly 30 years of research at farms on six continents.

Check out some of the strict guidelines they abide by to fulfill their promise in sending only the best products to your home. 

  • plant material that is grown on corporately-owned farms or carefully vetted partner farms (that you CAN visit!)
  • sustainable farming and sourcing practices, providing the purest oil
  • great care taken to preserve and protect natural resources
  • hand-weeded fields and ZERO use of pesticides
  • oils that retain all their natural constituents and therapeutic properties
  • use of food-grade distillers with state-of-the-art design and distillation methods
  • low pressure and low temperature distillation, without the use of solvents or synthetic chemicals
  • rigorous testing on each batch by internal labs and third-party facilities
  • oils that are carefully reviewed through every step of production in order to meet or exceed industry safety and purity standards (beyond organic!)

And the best part… if the oils do not meet these high standards they are rejected and will not be bottled as a Young Living product. Check out more info on their Seed to Seal promise at www.seedtoseal.com. 

How do you use essential oils? 

You do not need to be an aromatherapist to use them. In most cases, just rub it topically on the skin. There are three main ways to get oils into your system: the English apply it topically, (rub it on the skin), the French ingest and cook with it, and the Germans diffuse and inhale.

How do they enter, and how long do they last?

Tests have shown that oils reach the heart, liver and thyroid within three seconds when inhaled.

They were found in the bloodstream within 26 seconds when applied topically.

Expulsion of essential oils takes three to six hours in a normal, healthy body.

Before we dive into the most popular oils I want to explain how to use them. Well, it’s rather simple! Just pick a way and go for it! Anyone can use essential oils – no aromatherapy training needed.

Topically

You can apply them to your wrists, neck, back, feet, etc. Just keep them out of your ears and eyes, directly. If you get oil in your eyes, don’t rinse it with water. Instead, apply a fatty carrier oil around the area.

Another thing to keep in mind is that some oils are gentle enough to put directly on your skin without diluting. If you notice it getting hot or making your skin a little red, just throw some carrier oil on (coconut oil, grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil, etc.). For kids and elderly people, dilute it more heavily. Don’t overcomplicate it; keep it simple! 

Aromatically

Another way to use them is aromatically. Crack open a bottle, and breathe it in. It can be that simple! Add your oils to a diffuser and enjoy the therapeutic benefits from diffusing. Put a drop in your palm, rub your hands together, and cup your hands over your nose. Breathe deeply and enjoy! No matter how you do it you still reap the benefits.

Just some ideas:

Internally

Add a drop (or more) of a Vitality oil into an empty vegetable capsule, a cup of tea, or a glass of water. You can even cook and bake with them! Try some Lemon Vitality in your yogurt or a toothpick tip of Oregano Vitality in your next batch of spaghetti sauce… so delicious! One of my favorite things to do is add 4 drops of Peppermint Vitality to a box mix of brownies – talk about yummy! One thing to note: citrus oils can break down the petrochemicals in plastic so it’s safer to use stainless steel, glass, or ceramic when adding oils to your dishes and drinks.

Now, before we go any further… I want to make sure you know the difference between a Vitality oil (white label) and the “regular” oils (solid color label). The Vitality oils are labeled for internal/dietary use so they can be ingested. The solid color bottles are labeled for aromatic/topical use. However, they are the SAME oil. The ONLY difference is the color of the label. It just makes it easier for us to know which oils can be safely ingested. The Essential Oils Premium Starter Kit comes with 5 Vitality oils – Peppermint Vitality, Lemon Vitality, Thieves Vitality, Citrus Fresh Vitality, and DiGize Vitality. But guess what? Those oils also come in solid color bottles, which means they can be used aromatically and topically! Does that make sense? 

Lavender 

First up… Lavender, which is probably one of the most well-known essential oils. They call this one the “swiss army knife” of oils because it is extremely versatile and can be used for so many things! Being that I am not a doctor and cannot diagnose, treat, or prescribe anything to you, an essential oil reference book comes in handy when getting to know your oils. Be sure to connect with me after you get your oils so I can show you some!

What’s so great about Lavender? 

  • It may promote feelings of calm due to its balancing properties that calm the mind and body.
  • It fights occasional nervous tension.
  • It may help cleanse and soothe minor skin irritations.
  • It may help reduce the appearance of blemishes and support aging skin.
  • It can be very soothing to the skin after a day in the sun.

Did you know? Lavender also comes in a Vitality version (same oil, different label). It can improve sleep quality for occasional sleeplessness, supports general wellness, and contains cleansing and antioxidant properties. Lavender Vitality supports the integumentary system, nervous system, and cardiovascular system when taken as a dietary supplement. 

Frankincense

You guys! This oil is like the MAC DADDY of oils and it comes in the starter kit! That’s insane!! Remember in the Bible how the wise men brought Jesus some Frankincense? Yep… this is it – REAL Frankincense – and it is oh so wonderful. 

What’s so great about Frankincense? 

  • It promotes the appearance of healthy-looking skin.
  • It may help reduce the appearance of uneven skin tones.
  • It has a sweet, honey-like, and woody fragrance that’s very uplifting.
  • It can create a safe and comforting environment when diffused.
  • It can enhance your spiritual and meditative practice.
  • It is perfect for grounding and spiritual connectedness.

Did you know? Frankincense also comes in a Vitality version (same oil, different label). It contains properties that can help support overall well-being and a healthy immune system when taken internally. It also supports the respiratory system and the integumentary system.

PanAway

 PanAway

This oil… ahhhhhhhh. That’s what I say every time I use it. It just makes that _____ go away, like the name implies. It has the smell of good ol’ fashioned root beer and feels like heaven when applied. #YouNeedThisOil

What’s so great about PanAway? 

  • With Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Clove, and Peppermint essential oils, PanAway has a refreshing, cooling sensation when applied to the skin – shoulders, neck, and scalp. 
  • It offers a refreshing, stimulating aroma when inhaled.
  • It includes the naturally occurring constituents methyl salicylate, gamma-curcumene, menthol, and eugenol.
  • It cools the skin after physical activity.

Did you know? PanAway contains Wintergreen, which is high in a constituent called Methyl salicylate. Methyl salicylate is used as the active ingredient in many sports creams, but usually from a synthetic source. Young Living uses the real deal. 

Raven

“If I just breathe… everything is alright if I just breathe.” Remember that song? Ya, this oil will make you do just that – breathe and breathe well. Raven is a cool, refreshing combination of Ravintsara, Peppermint, Eucalyptus Radiata, Lemon, and Wintergreen essential oils.

What’s so great about Raven? 

  • It creates a cooling sensation and provides a comforting aroma when applied topically to the chest and throat
  • It provides a refreshing aromatic experience when diffused or inhaled directly.
  • It may be used as part of your exercise routine to help promote the sensation of deeper breathing.
  • It may give you that boost of energy and motivation you need to conquer the day! 

Easy Uses: 

  • Diffuse in any stuffy environment for a fresh, crisp atmosphere.
  • Add a few drops to a wet washcloth and set outside the stream of water during a hot shower for an invigorating experience.
  • Add a few drops to Young Living’s carrier oil, V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex, and create a relaxing massage oil. 
  • Add a few drops to some coconut oil and stir for a quick chest rub. 

Valor

This oil holds a special place in my heart. It just makes me smile every time I take a whiff; I can’t get enough! SHARE YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THIS OIL. 

What’s so great about Valor? 

  • It is a unique blend of Black Spruce, Blue Tansy, Camphor Wood, Geranium, and Frankincense – a true member favorite.
  • It encourages a positive attitude and promotes feelings of courage and confidence.
  • It has a great woodsy, grounding aroma that is great for massages and perfect for wearing as a personal fragrance. 
  • It helps freshen the air when diffused and creates an uplifting, positive environment. 
  • It may also enhance the appearance of healthy-looking skin when applied topically.

Did you know? Valor is the first oil in the “Great Day Protocol” lineup, created by the late Young Living founder, D. Gary Young. You should google it – it’s pretty amazing!

Peace & Calming

The name says it all with this blend. It’s my go-to oil when things get crazy and we need a little CALM to come over us… which is pretty much all the time! Ha! Where are my moms at??

You can wear this one on diffuser jewelry, on your neck or wrists, or pop some in the diffuser. You can even get a little creative with it and add a drop or two some homemade playdough for the kids!

What’s so great about Peace & Calming? 

  • It’s a gentle, sweet blend of Ylang Ylang, Orange, Tangerine, Patchouli, and Blue Tansy and is one of Young Living’s most popular blends. 
  • Tangerine and Orange contain some of the highest naturally occurring levels of the constituent limonene.
  • It has a comforting, fresh aroma.
  • It helps freshen the air when diffused.
  • It offers a peaceful environment for yoga and meditation.
  • It can provide a relaxing environment for yourself, your kids, or your pets. 

Note: Since Peace & Calming contains citrus oil it’s considered a photosensitive blend. That just means you don’t want to apply it to your skin if you plan to be in direct UV rays for the next 12 hours. Either apply it where the sun doesn’t shine 😉 OR just make sure clothing covers the area you apply it to. 

Stress Away

Stress Away is ANOTHER member favorite because it does just what its name suggests. It’s one you will never want to run out of. Thankfully it comes in your starter kit but you might want to add it to your monthly box just to be safe (we will talk about this box soon so keep an eye out).

What’s so great about Stress Away? 

  • This blend contains a unique combination of Lime essential oil and vanilla extract, giving it a “beach in a bottle” type of aroma. 
  • It also contains a mix of Copaiba, Cedarwood, Ocotea, and Lavender – such an incredible blend of well-rounded oils. 
  • It promotes relaxation and a calming environment.
  • It has an inviting aroma that helps calm the mind.
  • It can relieve occasional stress and tension.

Take the roller fitment top from your starter kit and replace the plastic reducer in the Stress Away bottle. Now you can roll it right on! Keep it in your purse, car, office, diaper bag, or anywhere else you find yourself needing a little happy.

Note: Since Stress Away contains citrus oil it’s considered a photosensitive blend. That just means you don’t want to apply it to your skin if you plan to be in direct UV rays for the next 12 hours. Either apply it where the sun doesn’t shine 😉 OR just make sure clothing covers the area you apply it to. 

Lemon Vitality

So far we have talked about all the topical and aromatic oils that come in the starter kit. Now we are going to talk about the oils that are labeled for ingestion… the Vitality oils. 

First up – Lemon Vitality. This oil can add such a bright and dynamic flavor to your dishes with just ONE drop! Use it to add flavor to savory foods like fish and chicken or sweet foods like pastries and cakes; it’s so versatile! You can sub it for lemon zest or juice and still pack a punch. Try it! 

We also love to add it to our drinks – water, teas, smoothies, juices, homemade popsicles, etc. It’s so tasty! Be sure to use a glass, ceramic, or stainless steel container; citrus oils can eat away at the petrochemicals in plastic and you don’t want to accidentally ingest plastic. Yuck! 

You could also grab some empty veggie capsules from Young Living and add a few drops to take as a dietary supplement. Like I said, so versatile!

What’s so great about Lemon Vitality? 

  • It has antioxidant properties.
  • It supports the immune system.
  • It provides circulatory support. 
  • It contains cleansing properties.

Cool Fact: Lemon essential oil is cold-pressed from the rind of the fruit so it doesn’t contain the high acid content that the inside of the fruit does. Therefore, it’s not hard on your tooth enamel. #WinWin

One more thing, this one comes in a solid-label bottle too. That means it can be diffused or applied topically as well. Remember – same oil, different label.

Peppermint Vitality

One of the very first essential oils I ever tried was Peppermint, from the grocery store. It smelled like candy and when I applied it, it did absolutely nothing. Looking back, I wish I would have had the real deal. Thankfully, a friend shared Young Living with me and THAT Peppermint smelled completely different and ACTUALLY worked. Moral of the story: don’t buy oils from the grocery store. Ha! TELL YOUR OWN STORY HERE.

What’s so great about Peppermint Vitality? 

  • It supports gastrointestinal system comfort.
  • It enhances healthy gut function.
  • It maintains efficiency of the digestive tract.
  • It may support performance during exercise.
  • It reduces feelings of discomfort after large meals. 
  • It provides a refreshing, minty flavor to food and beverages.

How awesome is that?! Peppermint is SO much more than a flavor – when you get the real deal. Just like other Vitality oils you can add this one to food like brownies, cakes, cookies, candies, fruit dishes, etc. You can also add it to drinks like water, tea, or protein shakes. You can also take a few drops in a veggie capsule as a dietary supplement – whatever works for you! 

One more thing, this one comes in a solid-label bottle too. That means it can be diffused or applied topically as well. Remember – same oil, different label.

Digize Vitality

This oil is a powerhouse for the digestive system. Seriously – it works in seconds flat (at least for me it does). DiGize Vitality is a blend of Tarragon, Ginger, Peppermint, Juniper, Fennel, Lemongrass, Anise, and Patchouli essential oils. Put your googling fingers to work and do a little research to find out how amazing those oils are for your body! You’ll be amazed. You can take this oil internally with a veggie capsule (personal favorite), in food or drink, or directly under your tongue. 

What’s so great about DiGize Vitality? 

  • It helps support and cleanse the digestive system.
  • It’s a great companion to Young Living’s enzyme supplements when taken with meals to support your wellness regimen.
  • It includes antioxidant properties.

One more thing, this one comes in a solid-label bottle too. That means it can be diffused or applied topically as well. Remember – same oil, different label. Personally, I think this blend smells like black licorice so I prefer the internal use the best. You get to decide what works best for you!

Citrus Fresh Vitality

This oil is such a refreshing gem! It’s a mix of Orange, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Tangerine, Lemon, and Spearmint essential oils and can be added to food, drinks, or taken internally with a veggie capsule. Add a punch of flavor and pizazz to chicken, salmon, and gourmet salads. You can use it to keep yourself motivated and hydrated by adding a drop or two to your water. This one also tastes amazing when added to NingXia Red (a red antioxidant drink), which we talk about soon! Don’t forget to use glass, ceramic, or stainless steel containers as citrus oils can eat away at the petrochemicals in plastic.

What’s so great about Citrus Fresh Vitality? 

  • It has an invigorating citrus flavor.
  • It contains antioxidant properties.
  • It supports overall wellness.
  • It has cleansing properties.
  • It includes the naturally occurring constituents limonene and carvone.

One more thing, this one comes in a solid-label bottle too. That means it can be diffused or applied topically as well. Remember – same oil, different label. It’s one of my favorites to diffuse and add to my Thieves Household Cleaner for an incredible burst of happy citrus oils!

Thieves Vitality

This is the final oil that comes in the starter kit; I saved the best for last! There’s even an entire line of products that contain this powerful combination of oils; it’s THAT good. Thieves Vitality is a sweet and spicy combination of Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, Rosemary, and Lemon essential oils.

Did you know? The name ‘Thieves’ was inspired by the legend of four 15th-century French thieves who formulated and wore a special aromatic combination of clove, rosemary, vinegar, and other botanicals that they believed provided protection while they were stealing. The story goes on to say that when the thieves were caught they were offered a lesser punishment if they would divulge to the king the secret to their immunity, despite being exposed to a highly infectious, deadly disease. Pretty interesting, huh??

What’s so great about Thieves Vitality?

  • It provides immune system support.
  • It’s cleansing to the digestive system.
  • It contains antioxidant properties.
  • It provides general wellness support.

Again, because it’s a Vitality oil, it can be added to food or drinks, taken in a veggie capsule, or placed directly under the tongue. Some people enjoy it added to oatmeal, parfaits, coffees, desserts, honey, or NingXia Red. Try a few things and get creative; the possibilities are endless! 

One more thing, this one comes in a solid-label bottle too. That means it can be diffused or applied topically as well. Remember – same oil, different label. I love diffusing it with a little citrus oil like Lemon or Orange for a boost of aroma. 

NingXia Red

Ningxia Red is a whole-body supplement. It’s a blend of the Ningxia Wolfberry (also known as goji berries, a superfruit) along with plum, aronia, cherry, blueberry, and pomegranate juices and extracts plus pure vanilla extract and Lemon, Orange, Yuzu, and Tangerine essential oils. It also has an incredibly high antioxidant rating. Antioxidants make for an unfriendly environment for free radicals. If you don’t know the effects free radicals have on your body, go look it up. You need NingXia in your life! 

What’s so great about NingXia Red? 

  • It supports whole-body wellness.
  • It supports normal cellular function.
  • It supports normal energy levels & eye health.
  • It’s rich in antioxidants & d-limonene.

You can add it to smoothies, juices, drink it straight, or even make fun things like popsicles and gummies with it. It’s recommended that you consume 1-2 ounces a day and it’s best served chilled. I love adding my own Vitality oils as well for a custom flavor! Bottoms up!

Thieves Spray & Hand Sanitizer

If there’s an ingredient you’re not familiar with, type it in “Google” with the words “dangers of”. You will be blown away at some of the poison lurking in your cabinets!

for taking the time!
