With things like cancer, infertility, and other health challenges on the rise there is no time like the present to kick all those nasty chemicals in your everyday products to the curb. It is time to give your body what it deserves, clean products that support your body, not hurt your body.
So lets take a look at what may be lurking in your cabinets and learn how easy it is to save money AND take care of your body at the same time with Young Living! I am going to break this up into small steps, just like an online class, so you can come back and check it out over the day if you don't get to it all right away!
#1 Welcome!
Before we get started, I just want to put out there... I am not a doctor. I am not here to diagnose, treat, or cure any of your illnesses. The content I cover is for informational purposes only.
Let me introduce myself. I have been using Young Living essential oils and products for the last 4 years for myself, family, friends, and really anyone I chat with interested in becoming healthier and going more natural. I grew up a hippy child and because of that the natural world is both very familiar to me but also something that I revolted against when I became a young adult out on my own (because what child doesn't dream of a world full of fake nacho cheese and marshmallow cereal if they've grown up on venison and sprouts). But I soon remembered the wisdom as I became more and more unhealthy. And now, with my own 3 kids, I have been on a mission to CHANGE that paradigm to balance, wholesome living, and toxin free! Which is why I'm here, sharing with you a bit of that purpose with you!

#2 Healthcare vs sick care
With healthcare clinics on every corner and almost 6,000 registered hospitals in the US, we are armed and ready to be sick. But what if we as a society made a shift, and were better at health care than we are at sick care?
I am here to tell you the shift is happening and you have the opportunity to be a part of it. We are already seeing those around us spending their money on travel, life experiences, and overall health and wellness.
I don't know about you, but I am ready to put our health first so I can have more days with my family, my (not so baby) babies, and future grandbabies! I want to be present in their lives!
#3 Toxin-Free Living
I know that some healthy lifestyle choices are hard. Do you struggle to order the salad over the burger? Been there! But guess what?! Using a toxin-free cleaner instead of the chemical-filled cleaner, or grabbing the toxin-free shampoo instead of a chemical-filled one can make such a difference in your health.
Products like detergents you find in the store have some scary ingredients in them: harmful chemicals like Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), a foaming agent that has been linked to irritation of the skin and eyes, organ toxicity, developmental/reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, endocrine disruption, and biochemical or cellular changes, possible mutations, and cancer. These chemicals from detergents get stuck in our clothes, rubbing against our skin all day long, absorbing into our bodies and causing problems.
Do you feel like you don't have time to research every chemical listed on the back of your laundry detergent, toothpaste, or home cleaner?
Young Living is here to make healthy decisions so much easier. With ingredients that are not harmful and actually support a healthy body, their products are safe and effective. From skin care and makeup to a kid and baby line, pet products, supplements, food, and so much more, YL makes it easy to support everyone's health from baby to grandpa, including your furry friends.

#5 How do I use oils?
SAFETY FIRST
- Please dilute your oils.
- Do not put them in your eyes or ears.
- Follow directions on labels.
*Once you get your own starter kit, I will connect with you and go over safety tips and suggestions in more detail! I am also always available to ask questions or run things by! I'm not the expert but I can help you find the answer, and I've been around the oily block for 4 years now. :)
The solid labels have aromatic and topical directions on them.
1. Topically - Apply on your skin. Dilute with a carrier oil like coconut oil or grapeseed oil. They are quickly absorbed and effective.
2. Aromatically - Use in the diffuser or by inhaling from diffuser jewelry or just put some on your hands.
3. Internally -Young Living oils are safe to ingest. The labels that are white are from their vitality line and have dietary instructions on them.
* NOTE: Oils in the regular bottles are the same as the vitality bottles. For Example: Peppermint oil from the regular line and Peppermint oil from the vitality line have different labels (per FDA rules) but are the SAME OIL.
#6 Lemon Vitality
Put a drop of lemon in your water for a hint of flavor and a gentle detox. Lemon oil is cold-pressed from the rind, which means there is NO citric acid to damage your teeth/enamel. Your dentist will be proud.
This oil supports your detox organs and can also help with an afternoon energy boost.
**When adding Lemon Vitality to food or beverage, use glass, stainless steel, or ceramic dishes. It will disintegrate plastic and you don’t want to ingest that.
#7 Peppermint Vitality
This oil is perfect for focus in the office or concentration during study time.
An afternoon pick-me-up perfect for mom.
Make a snack-time tea to curb your appetite.
Apply a few drops to a capsule to help support occasional nausea and a healthy digestive system.
Put a drop in your water bottle before exercise to support your work out.
Put five drops in your next batch of brownies and everyone will come back for seconds. #hitoftheparty
Immune Boosting Tea:
- 1 drop Peppermint Vitality
- 1 drop Lemon Vitality
- 1 drop Thieves Vitality
- 1 tsp raw honey
Stir into 16 - 24 oz warm/hot (drinkable temp) water and drink.
#8 Lavender
Imagine you're sitting in a SPA, The music is a gentle instrumental piece. The lights are dim. You put your feet up and rest your head back. Take a big inhale and smell the Lavender in the air as it swirls around in your lungs. As you breathe out, a sense of peace comes over you and the weight is lifted off your shoulders.
With a bottle of Lavender and a diffuser, you can turn your bedroom into a quiet tranquil SPA every night.
With a diffuser and Lavender oil, you can experience this SPA moment every night.
EASY EVERYDAY USES:
Before bed, rub a few drops into your palms, over the pillow, the back of your neck, and the bottoms of feet.
Combine two drops each of Lavender, Frankincense, and Stress Away into a cup of bath salts for a keep calm bath combo.
Put 4-8 drops in your diffuser to unwind after a long day. Use every night (or during nap time) to promote a restful night's sleep.
#9 Copaiba Vitality & DiGize Vitality
Copaiba Vitality helps the body naturally respond to injury and can enhance the properties of any other oil. It is calming and supportive to your digestive system. It is high in beta-caryophyllene. Don't know what that is? I didn't either. Google it: you will be glad you did.
DiGize Vitality is everyone’s favorite because it works so well. It’s a blend of Tarragon, Ginger, Peppermint, Juniper, Fennel, Lemongrass, Anise, and Patchouli, which is the perfect partner to any meal.
Combine Copaiba vitality and DiGize vitality daily, to provide amazing digestive support. You are so lucky to get these digestive powerhouses in your starter kit. Never leave home (or the country) without these two.
#10 Frankincense
Does anyone here love science? Frankincense contains 8% sesquiterpenes and 78% monoterpenes, which are known to be calming. It is grounding, and great for meditation. It is also amazing for your skin to help create a youthful appearance.
Combine a drop of Frankincense and Lavender in your daily moisturizer and you will be amazed at the appearance of your skin. #YouthForever
#11 PanAway
Do you dread going to the gym because you know that moving the next day might be a struggle?
This blend is perfect for your gym bag. A blend of Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Clove & Peppermint make working out a little more bearable. Apply a few drops to lotion or coconut oil and apply to muscles and joints pre and post-exercise. Heading out for a hike or anticipating some snow shoveling this winter? Keep this one handy to keep your joints happy.
Slept funny or have growing kids? Put a few drops in a container with a roller top for easy application to your neck or kids' arms and legs when needed.
Combine with Copaiba to enhance the properties or Peppermint to give an extra tingly sensation.
#12 R.C. (Respiratory Care)
A blend of three different Eucalyptus species along with Marjoram, Pine, Lavender, Cypress, Black Spruce, & Peppermint.
Have you ever been in a steam room? One where they put Eucalyptus in the vent and it consumes you? It's like a little piece of heaven, right? Imagine this blend giving you that same invigorating feeling.
Diffuse or apply it directly before, during, or after a workout. Its energetic aroma will help you stay motivated when you hit the weights, treadmill, or bike.
Diffuse before bedtime for a quiet night's rest.
Apply to your chest during the change of seasons.
#13 Purification
Purification is a blend that cleanses the air and eliminates odors. Throw away the febreeze and glade plug-ins. which have cancer-causing toxins in them, and diffuse this instead.
Cook fish? Stinky shoes or gym bag? Teenage boys in the house? No matter what type of situation you're in, there is always a use for Purification. Diffuse in the kitchen or add 15 drops to a 4 oz spray bottle of water and freshen any space.
It is perfect to improve the appearance of healthy looking skin and can easily be combined with our other skin favorites, Lavender and Frankincense.
It is a must-have in the laundry room. Dryer sheets are another popular product filled with harmful toxins. Use wool dryer balls and a few drops of Purification for a fresh scent. Dry your clothes with the wool balls. When clothes are dry, add a few drops of oil to the wool balls and tumble dry for five minutes to scent clothes. You don’t need to spend money on fabric softener or dryer sheets and you eliminate a TON of harmful chemicals. #WinWin
LIFE HACK: You can also use a Young Living baby wipe as a dryer sheet. If you don't have a baby, these wipes are also great to remove your makeup! So many great uses for the baby wipes. #WhoKnew
#14 Thieves Vitality
Thieves Vitality is another GREAT one to use regularly for immune support. It smells amazing, like cinnamon and clove with a hint of lemon, and works wonders. I use it regularly with my oils and products but if I start feeling a little drained, I double up on my Thieves and NingXia Red. I drink a wellness tea, the one mentioned in the Peppermint Vitality post, and I feel as good as new. Who has time to be down for the count? #Notme!
They have an entire Thieves line for personal care and your home. The Thieves Essential Rewards kit comes with cleaner, toothpaste, hand soap, hand purifier, and more. It’s the easiest and most affordable way to start making the switch to toxin-free living.
#15 Stress Away
This one does exactly what you think it does and we all need it.
A blend of Copaiba, Lime, Cedarwood, Vanilla, Ocotea, and Lavender, gives it a sweet vanilla citrus scent.
Take the little roller top from your kit and put it on this one to make a convenient roller bottle. Keep it in your purse, car, office, diaper bag, or anywhere else you find yourself needing a little calming.
#16 NingXia Red
This post wouldn't be complete without talking about one of our most beloved products. NingXia Red is 50% NingXia Wolfberry puree, which is a wellness-supporting superfruit with an incredibly high antioxidant rating. Blueberries are around 2500 on the ORAC scale and Wolfberries are around 30,000. Antioxidants make for an unfriendly environment for free radicles. If you don't know the effects free radicals have on your body, you should google it.
This dietary supplement helps support normal blood sugar levels, provides support for normal eye health, cellular function, and energy levels.
#17 Essential Rewards (ER)
I have mentioned this rewards program a few times because I don't want you to leave without knowing how amazing it is. We recently asked our members, "What is one thing you wish you had known in the very beginning." Do you know what they said? They said, "I wish I had known about Essential Rewards earlier." SO, I don't want to miss sharing all the perks of one of the best programs we have for our members.
Essential Rewards is an optional program, but you are definitely going to want to join the ER bandwagon, because it is the best way to save money while you replace the toxic products in your home and reorder products as needed. It is similar to those cool monthly subscription boxes you see all over your FB feed, except for one major difference: you can customize your wellness box EVERY. SINGLE. MONTH. You can also change your process date, which makes it very convenient to get what you want when you want it.
With every ER order, you will get a % back in points to use on future products AND free gifts for ordering on the rewards program. You will also be eligible to get your $50 bonus/Thank You check when you help your friend get a kit as well!
Most of our members join ER right away with either a 2 pack of Ningxia Red, or a bottle of Thieves all-purpose cleaner and Thieves laundry detergent.
#18 Membership
