NEW** - Making a Chemical Free Home (Being in a large family, I know it can be overwhelming to think of having a harsh chemical-free home, especially when you don't know where to start or what all to look for! Well, that's the purpose of this class. We will look into some specific chemicals found in our daily household products and then go into steps we can take to begin replacing some of these harsh products with easy-to-make pocket-friendly homemade products using essential oils and other simple ingredients.)

-Essential Oil Basics - What's All This Jazz About (Here is where you get the ultimate run-through of what essential oils are, how to use them, and detailed information about each of the essential oils included in the Premium Starter Kit. It's a great way to get your feet wet and/or share about them with friends and family members who are curious about essential oils as well!)

-Beyond the Basics (Goes deeper into the where, how and why of essential oils and brushes over the chemical basics of essential oils in addition to specifics about favorite oils not included in the kit and tried and true testimonies from veteran oilers!)

-Essential Oils and Body Systems - Getting to the Root of the Problem (We go in depth into each of the main body systems, what they are and what they do in our bodies and cover essential oils and tips for each system as well as lifestyle choices that give additional support to each body system.)

-Oils and the Bible (Here we get back to the basics of Creation and look at how God's Word encourages us to ultimately trust Him for healing as well as using His creation to support our overall wellness. We will also cover the twelve oils mainly mentioned in Scriptures and learn about them and their benefits.)

-The Business Side of Young Living (In this class we touch on the financial aspect of Young Living in a very non-competitive way. We are a family and we grow by sharing what their products have done for us, NOT pushing sales. Learn how it works and how you can get your own "accidental paycheck" in the mail simply by using essential oils and other amazing products for your family and sharing with others how much you love it!)

If you purchase a kit AND host a class in the same month, I will place anyone who purchases a kit under you, and you will get an additional $50 bonus for EACH sign up! When you think about it, you COULD get your kit for FREE after only three friends getting their own kits!

Young Living Essential Oils Safe for Children

What about my kids? Well, let me just say I know of hundreds of "oily" kids! I had to laugh when my cousin shared that her little ones will come up with an oil bottle in their hand, "Oy-alls, mommy! Oyalls!" :-) Even they can tell the difference essential oils make! I'm always helping my younger siblings out with them. Even if they don't like the smell, they'll come to me anyway asking for some oily support!

There are SO many oils that are wonderful to use for children, and as a general rule, you dilute everything! (with the exception of the KidScents collection from Young Living, these are pre-diluted)

If by some chance you accidentally get oils too hot for your little ones, or in their eyes, any carrier oil (coconut, olive, almond, etc.) applied will dilute and ease their discomfort. Even I've accidentally gotten some in my eyes and had to rub coconut oil in. It works very well and quickly. DON'T use water as it will just encourage the oil to work faster, causing more discomfort.

Some oils are stronger or "hotter" than others and are not generally used for tots, so make sure you look it up before you try it! :-D

Here's a little graphic to get you started.

 

 

*Gentle Babies is an excellent book to show which oils are best to use for little ones and which ones are safest to use at suggested dilutions. If you would like more information on this, just let me know!

What does Modern Science say about Essential Oils??

People often ask the question, “Does science validate essential oils?” I love when people ask me that because I can confidently say “YES! Science does!”
Did you know that there are over 30,000 articles that talk about Young Living or Essential Oils? 

Here are some great 3rd party, government-funded resources:

1. www.PubMed.gov -National Library of Medicine, thousands of peer-reviewed published studies on essential oils
*Over 13,000 peer-reviewed, published studies on Essential Oils

2. www.AIRASE.org (Association for the International Research of Aromatic Science and Education) 3rd party research Dedicated to promoting scientific validation of essential oils for their global standardization for home, health care and medical uses

Why use Essential Oils?

Essential oils have been used in medicinal healing for centuries all over the world. They are known for their health, cosmetic, and emotionally uplifting properties. So why do we use them? 

Why Young Living

Watch this video to see just a few of the reasons why!

So... What ARE essential oils??

Welcome to the world of discovering the complexity and beauty of these amazing gifts from nature! Essential oils are the aromatic liquids found in trees, flowers, bushes, branches, stems, fruits, needles, roots & seeds.

Have you ever pinched a rosemary or lavender plant between your fingertips, then all of sudden you smelled a very strong liquid come from the plant? Or have you ever cut a lemon and noticed a backsplash coming from the pores in the rind? THOSE are essential oils! They are referred to as the “life-force of a plant” or, as we like to call them, the plant’s immune system. Their job, essentially, is to protect the cells of the plant from disease and decay. And that’s exactly what they do for the cells of our body! Keeping plants safe from disease and decay. What essential oils do for the plant is how they work in us. Essential oils are composed of HUNDREDS of chemical constituents (meaning they can cover a plethora of health issues) and are extracted through steam distillation (not killed; not extracted with chemicals). When plants are dried, 95-97% of the essential oil of the plant is lost. So by using essential oils, we are getting a complete chemical profile in every drop.

They are much more potent than the herbs or plants they come from:
-1 drop of Peppermint is equivalent to 26 cups of Peppermint tea
-1 drop of Lemon is equivalent to 40 lemons
