Essential Oils 101

Essential oils are made from plants and are the immune system of the plant.

Oil particles are so small that they actually cross the blood brain barrier!

Oils are either steam distilled or cold pressed from the plants to ensure all the important therapeutic and health-giving constituents of the plant and oil remain intact.

Due to the way the plant is distilled through low-heat, slow-steam distillation, the molecules that make up essential oils becomes highly concentrated. These highly concentrated molecules are so tiny that when we apply a drop of oil to our skin the oil is absorbed immediately and starts working in our body.

22 seconds – the molecules reach the brain

2 minutes – the molecules can be found in the blood stream

20 minutes – the molecules will have saturated every cell in the body

How do you use essential oils?

Diffuse - Place 6-8 drops in your diffuser with water

Inhale - Place a drop or two in your hand and breathe in

Apply - Apply directly to your skin and rub in

Ingest* - Apply to the roof of your mouth, under your tongue, in a clear vegetable capsule, or even cook with them!

*Not all oils are made for ingestion. I can only speak to Young Living’s Vitality Line.

It has been documented that essential oils have been used in our environment for over 5000 years! Using these oils by the way I have listed above and incorporating them into your lifestyle, you will help keep you and your family above the wellness line.
