Essential Oils are my jam! I hands down, 100 percent, think that EVERY home should have them.
I have been aware of the toxins in my home and environment. I have always tried to take a proactive approach on trying to remove as many as I can from my life. After having children, this desire was moved to the forefront and hasn’t moved since.
When you sit down and really dive in, it is ALARMING how many toxins are in every day products. Products you use daily with very little thought. Products you trust.
When I was introduced to essential oils, while skeptical, I was VERY excited to give it a try. How can these little bottles of liquid gold replace so many things in my home? How can they help my family not only be healthy but thrive? How can they empower me as a mother to help my children naturally? Well I am here to tell you it IS possible-and SOOOO worth it!
They are the catalyst to a healthier life. To changing our generations story. They empower us as mother’s and leaders of our home. To living above the line of wellness.
If you aren’t familiar with essential oils, simply, they are the part of the plant that give it its distinct smell and are found in the stem, roots, seeds, bark, flowers and other parts of the plan. however, pure essential oils are far more powerful than the botanicals from which they were extracted. They are extracted through careful steam distillation, resin tapping, and cold pressing from the rind.
They are the lifeblood of a plant and these oils carry therapeutic properties (or constituents) to protect the plant from any element is is exposed to in nature. Simply put, essential oils are to the plant what blood is to the human body.
Each essential oil is composed of 200-500 different constituents which make them VERY diverse in their effects to the human body. One of the many reasons why they are so effective. They are also so small that they can get into the body at the cellular level.
I have done a TON of research on essential oils and let me tell ya…they are not all created equal! I encourage every one to do their research. Make sure you find a company that abides by strict guidelines for growing and distilling.
I personally looked for one that:
- uses non-GMO plants
- provides you with first distillation
- practices sustainability
- has their hands in the ENTIRE process…from planting, to harvesting, to bottling
- be good stewards
At the end of the day, I chose Young Living for my family. With 30 years of experience, they have always been at the forefront of essential oils. They have a seed to seal (seedtoseal.com) program that is unsurpassed. The integrity of this company and quality of products can not be beat!
I have had the opportunity to visit their farms and see the distilling process for myself. All of this is why you can use their oils not only topically but as a dietary supplement.
I would love to have you join me on this journey!!!! I bought myself a Premium Starter Kit from an acquaintance. With no prior knowledge and low expectations, I certainly didn’t expect Young Living to rock my family’s universe. It was so much more than a box of goodness, it was community, hope, and opportunity.
