Essential Oils - Why Use them and Where to Get Them

Alrighty.  

Yesterday I shared why I'm starting this series and some very very basic information about essential oils. (read it here)

I've spent the morning trying to get the right literature to explain WHY and how these oils work.  I finally found someone else who did more research than I have time or energy for!

The VERY basic understanding is that oils have the unique ability to effect actual cells in our body.  They can penetrate cells that other common substances cannot. 

AAANNDDD I'm sure we all are reading our labels more now and we see all those ingredients that are potentially harmful!  The only ingredient in these little bottles will be an essential oil, and in some cases, a carrier oil!

The health benefits essential oils are pretty incredible!!!  Studies have shown that Thieves essential oil blend from Young Living Oils have killed a remarkable amount of AIRBORNE virus and bacteria!!  

Airborne...meaning stuff in your home waiting for you to inhale it!

If you'd like to know more of the science behind it, please refer to this lovely lady's blog who took the time to study it and put it in layman's terms for us!

I can personally attest to them improving our overall health and wellbeing!  

I'll document some ways we've used them starting this coming week.

And I'm sure I'll have found more uses by tomorrow night :)

Now.  

Where do you get them?

As I said, I'm not even going to address other companies! I can only vouch for what we use, and honestly, it's a darn good deal!!!

What you do, is sign up to be a Young Living Distributor.

By doing so, you are able to get the oils at a wholesale price, get the amazing value of the starter kit that I have, and be able to share these little miracle bottles with your friends and family!

A LOT is included in this kit!!!

**Home Diffuser

source

Young Living’s newly designed Home Diffuser combines a humidifier, air purifier, atomizer, and aromatherapy diffuser into one product that safely releases essential oils into the air to eliminate odors and create a spa-like atmosphere. 

**The kit also includes an AromaGlide Roller Fitment - to be fitted on any of your favorite oils for easy application!

**They include literature on how to use each oil included, as well as the uses of their other oils.

**There's also a handful of samples thrown in!!!

Value of this kit?  

$300!!!!!

Yea.

And you can grab this for $150.

***Update***
There is now an option to get a Premium Starter Kit with an Aroma Diffuser instead of the Home Diffuser.  They are both great diffusers, now you have a choice of which one you like best!  The new kit with the Aroma Diffuser is $10 more.

We also chose to purchase RC Essentil Oil separately, which is amazing for support of lung, sinus, and nasal function!  It's also supportive of the immune system during the winter months!

So here's how you purchase.

Click here to order now.
    
       OR
Go to my website here and click on "Get Started."

*Make sure you sign up as a Wholesale Member.  That is how you get your oils at wholesale cost.  There are NO other requirements for being a distributor!!!  If you wish to continue being one, simply make sure you purchase $50 worth of product per year....not real tough ;)

Make sure the box "A member referred me and I have his/her information" is selected

And make sure the member number 1529374 is in both the Enroller and Sponser Id field.


Then choose the PREMIUM Starter Kit! (The original kit or the Premium Kit with the Aroma Diffuser)


It is BY FAR the best value.


You are NOT required to choose an Essential Reward Kit.  I selected "No Thank You".

***If you would just like to try it out by choosing one or two individual oils or oil blends, you can sign up as a "customer" using the same process.  But your cost will be retail, not wholesale.

I know $150 sounds like alot.  And to our family it is.

But not only have we been able to not make as many trips to the drugstore for other products, these oils have also helped to build our immune systems which is so valuable during the colder months.

We are also trying to reduce and eventually eliminate the use of products in our home that contain harmful ingredients.  We're moving towards using more natural products in our home for cooking, cleaning, and eating!

Anyway.  I believe it's worth it.  And if you choose to purchase, you'll agree!!!
