DOES BRAND MATTER? WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OIL? ARE OILS JUST A FAD? ARE OILS REGULATED? EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

1 essential EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW oils ABOUT WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OIL? Essential oils are some of the most ancient and powerful wellness tools known to man. They are the potent and highly concentrated essence of a plant, harnessed through distillation into liquid form. They can be distilled from flowers, leaves, shrubs, resins, roots, trees, bushes, and seeds. A pure essential oil can contain anywhere from 80 to 300+ chemical constituents which enact change in the human body, and their molecules are small enough to effectively pass the blood brain barrier. Essential oils actually work in the human body the same way they work in plants, serving as a defense and communication system, a means to stimulate regeneration, and a method of carrying oxygen and nutrients to cells. They can work to support every single system of the body, providing digestive, hormonal, and immune support, healthy brain function, increased oxygen levels, heightened mood and emotions, and more. We can utilize the power of pure essential oils to provide physical wellness, emotional balance, and freedom from the need to use toxic chemicals in everyday life. ARE OILS JUST A FAD? Oils are not just a new health trend - they ve been used all over the world for thousands of years for their emotionally uplifting properties, to aid overall wellness, promote relaxation, support the skin, and so much more. Oils have been well-documented throughout history for their uses and benefits by the Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Europeans, and Chinese. It is no secret that humans have been utilizing plants as medicine for thousands of years, long before modern medicine came to pass. But most people don t realize that the reason we don t see more plant based medicine on the market today is that in America, one cannot legally patent a plant or any naturally occurring compound extracted from a plant, as it is derived and created by nature. This is why you ll probably never see a plant-based prescription drug at the pharmacy, but it is important for us to know that they are in fact, timetested and scientifically proven wellness tools that have been used for centuries. DOES BRAND MATTER? Absolutely! Brand will make a tremendous difference in the overall strength and quality of an essential oil. Young Living Essential Oils is the industry leader in the essential oil movement and their purity is unparalleled. Young Living s founder, Dr. Gary D. Young, is the original essential oil pioneer. He led the way in the modern day essential oil movement and in the rediscovery of the power of plantbased medicine. Young Living was founded over 20 years ago, and other companies simply cannot catch up to the decades of research, experience, education, and farming that Young Living offers. Truthfully, an essential oil label is meaningless without a tested quality control system in place. Young Living s Seed to Seal Quality Standard ensures proper and superior seed choice, growing conditions, farming methods, harvesting, and distillation techniques. The global farms that supply their oils are either completely owned by Young Living, or are partner farms, which they manage, oversee, and keep subject to the strict Seed to Seal guidelines. First and foremost, Young Living is a farming company. They will never purchase oils on the open market, like most companies, but ensure the plants themselves are healthy enough to produce the most therapeutically beneficial essential oils for our end use. Not only are their oils superior, but they offer nontoxic, essential oil infused products for every aspect of life. ARE OILS REGULATED? The US FDA does not regulate the process by which essential oils are obtained, nor the ingredients found within them. Many companies add synthetic fragrances, alcohol, hexane, and carrier oils within their essential oils to ensure a higher profit margin. Any company can call their product 100% pure because there is no agency or organization holding them accountable. If there is no tested quality control system in place, there is no way to know the purity and strength of an essential oil.

2 usage ESSENTIAL and OIL safety topical aromatic internal Essential oils may be used topically, either through direct application to the skin, or through dilution. After just two minutes, the essential oils will reach your bloodstream. A good rule of thumb when beginning with Young Living oils is to go low and slow. Start with the bottom of the feet, as your body is introduced to the power of these essential oils. After all, your body has quite possibly never been exposed to anything but synthetic fragrances, and many people can experience a detoxing effect when starting out. At any given time, utilize a carrier oil (a fatty, vegetable oil like coconut oil) to cut off any undesired effect. A carrier oil will immediately dilute the essential oil, as well as provide for efficient absorption. Most people do not experience any negative effects from essential oils, but it is important to be careful when you are just starting out. Essential oils can be perfect nontoxic perfumes and deodorants, as well as provide overall wellness when used topically. Aromatic use of an essential oil takes place any time the aroma of an oil is inhaled, thus allowing the molecules to effectively make their way into our bodies. Essential oil molecules traverse lung tissue, are diffused into blood circulation, and travel throughout the body through the circulatory system. Aromatic use can be done by inhaling the essential oil straight out of the bottle, or by placing a few drops in a diffuser. Diffusing is a common way to use essential oils aromatically, because it immediately changes the atmosphere in a room and uplifts your mood. In this instance, essential oils actually remove odors by molecularly changing the structure of the odor causing molecule, and will also increase oxygen availability, produce negative ions which purify the air, and release natural ozone. Cold-air diffusion is ideal for therapeutic use of essential oils, as heightened temperatures from things like candles and aroma lamps may render the oil less therapeutic. Young Living offers high quality coldair diffusers designed to atomize a microfine mist of essential oils into the air, where the oils will remain suspended for several hours. Using essential oils internally can be an excellent way to support your body systems. You can place a few drops in your beverage of choice, or take them in a capsule with carrier oil to provide targeted support for your digestive, immune, hormonal, nervous, muscular, and circulatory systems. Young Living is the only company to provide a dedicated line of essential oils for internal use: the Young Living Vitality Oils. For this reason, I would warn against using any other brand of essential oils internally. Because of Young Living s Seed to Seal Quality Standard, all of their essential oils exceed mainstream standards and are certified as safe to consume. The Young Living vitality oils carry a white label and specific instructions on internal use. Notably, any given vitality oil is bottled from the same batch as a non-vitality oil, and each batch is pure. Always use glass or stainless steel container when enjoying your Vitality Oils in a beverage, as the oils will eat away at plastic, styrofoam, or anything synthetic. This goes to show why taking essential oils internally can be so beneficial and effective at detoxing our bodies of anything unnatural.

3 why use essential oils? ESSENTIAL OILS ARE A NECESSARY PART OF ANY HEALTHY, NONTOXIC LIFESTYLE PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH Essential oils are effective, natural, therapeutic agents which work beautifully with our bodies to achieve physical wellness and emotional balance. You can use them to target various systems in order to ensure optimal health, or use them preventatively to keep you and your family healthy and well year round. It is such a relief to have a toolkit of essential oils to use whenever an issue arises: nausea, anxiety, skin irritation, burns, and SO much more. Essential oils also have a profound affect on the mind, and can be utilized to support emotional balance. Not only can they help release cellular memories stored anywhere in the body, but they directly stimulate the limbic system, which is in the center of your brain and controls your emotions, attitude, motivation, mood, instinct, and more. Inhaling essential oils will directly affect the emotional seat in your brain where traumatic memories are so often stored; and they can be incredibly beneficial in helping us unlock the subconscious, hidden emotional patterns that control our lives and hold us back from our full potential. AMERICAN TOXICITY EPIDEMIC The truth is, we are living amidst a toxicity epidemic. The sheer amount of harmful chemicals that are allowed in our daily products is astounding. We re a society obsessed with synthetic fragrances and chemicals produced in a laboratory because ultimately, they yield a higher profit margin. The United States of America has banned only 11 toxic ingredients, whereas the European Union has banned 1,328. These ingredients include formaldehyde, petroleum, parabens, quaternium-15, PPD, talc, avobenzone, and harmful fragrances, which make their way into countless products on our market. It is no surprise that cancer is the #2 cause of death, with cancer rates increasing rapidly every year. Essential oils and essential oil infused products offer alternatives which are natural, nontoxic, recognizable by our bodies, and supportive to our systems. Young Living utilizes the power of essential oils as the active ingredients in all of their household cleaning, cosmetic, and hygiene products, giving us an incredible peace of mind. side effects of chemical toxicity HORMONAL IMBALANCES & INFERTILITY ORGAN TOXICITY DEPRESSION & MOOD DISORDERS INCREASED RISK OF CANCER GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT ISSUES
