YL essential oils and why I use them....


Young Living oils and why I use them...

I have had horrible allergies for many years.  I went to an allergy specialist and started doing injections and had a bad reaction to the 6th one I had so I stopped.

After a few more years of horrible allergies and many, many sinus infections, I went to another allergy specialist where I again started the injections. I made it a whole year this time..going in every week for a shot. However, because of another bad reaction and an epi shot to stop my throat from swelling closed, both the doctor and I decided that I needed to stop.

I then went on to the next best thing...drops under the tongue everyday. I did this for 1 year and was still having bad allergies and sinus infections. So, I just quit. Why pay money and time doing something when it isn't working for you.

Weeks later, a friend of mine started post on FB about how her husband was using oils for his allergies and he wouldn't leave home without them.
She then invited me to an oil party.

I was very skeptical, I had other friends that swore by them. And I hate to say it...but I thought they were just strange and how could a plant do so much. 

At the party they told about how and why oils work.  At this point I would try anything to help ease my allergies. I was in.  That night I bought  a Premium Starter kit and couldn't wait to try the oils.

I'm lucky, because I live right here in Lehi Utah, where Young Living head quarters are..so I got in my car and went and picked up my kit.

I immediately mixed together, lavender, peppermint, lemon oil and vegetable oil and applied it to my wrist. Within minutes I could feel it working. Does it take away my allergies completely-no.
But it helps a great deal.

Since then, I have done a lot of reading and learning on my own about oils and about Young Living.
I have learned that not all essential oils are equal. And there for if you buy the cheap ones they probably aren't going to work as well. Also, not all oils are 100% pure, they have additives in them. This makes them have a shorter shelf life and not work as well.

Young Living has what they call seed to seal promise...They own their own farms, and distilleries. There is no middle man.  They know what happens form start to finish and promise that you will only get the best product.  They and a third party test their oils and if they don't pass the high quality standard test--they aren't sold.

Since purchasing my first kit , I have purchased many other products that I love and know are safe for me, my family and the environment.

We use oils for almost everything now, colds, sore throats, fevers and more.
However, because of diffusing oils, we don't get sick much.

My latest find is Thieves laundry detergent. It is so concentrated that you only have to use 1 TBS per load. It cleans great and smells amazing.

I have to say...I am a believer and have many products made with EO's in my house.
