My family started using essential oils in the summer of 2011. In April of that year, a pediatric urgent care doctor discovered a mass in my 8-year-old's chest and on that same day, my son was life-flighted to St. Louis Children's Hospital. At midnight, an oncology doctor met us in the pediatric ICU. Thus began our two year journey with childhood cancer.
Over the next several days, we consulted with surgeons and specialists, determining the best course of action for our son. We learned of the medications recommended and were warned about the potential side effects. We felt overwhelmed to say the least. Once we entered into a "routine" of sorts, we began researching all natural alternatives to help counter the devastating side effects of chemotherapy.
One thing we learned quickly was the need to shield our son from germs. Chemotherapy strips the bone marrow of white blood cells, the infection fighting superheroes in the body. So, when counts are down, the risk of sickness rises. Our family needed to be proactive in guarding against illness. Purex hand gel became a best friend. We carried bottles in the vehicles, in my wife's purse, in our pockets and set up small disinfectant stations around the house. Unfortunately, the alcohol in the pocket-sized sanitizers, dry out your hands, making it too uncomfortable to tolerate. We needed an alternative. Our holistic doctor recommended Thieves Spray, a product in the Young Living line. This all-natural disinfectant kills germs and is so non-toxic it can even be used as a throat spray. We were hooked.
A while later, our niece encouraged us to become ambassadors to sell the products to family and friends (if we desire) and to personally benefit from the wholesale prices. We highly recommend Young Living essential oils.
So why do we love this company?
1. Young Living is the only essential oil company that owns their own farms or partners with farms that are willing to live up to their standards for growing, harvesting and distilling. They have named this standard, "Seed to Seal." So, from "Seed to Seal," Young Living oversees the entire process of formulating some of the most pure essential oils on the market today.
2. Young Living Essential Oils contain no additives, fillers, and synthetics to increase volume or fragrance. Pure essential oils contain all desired therapeutic compounds – nothing more, nothing less. Young Living Essential Oils smell fantastic and are all-natural!
3. Most products have an expiration date. Young Living Essential Oils do not. As long as they are properly stored in areas away from extreme heat and sunlight, the oils will last indefinitely.
4. Anyone can visit the Young Living Farms to inspect the process for themselves. They desire to be completely transparent in their production of essential oils.
5. Young Living has been producing the finest quality oils for over two decades and with over 180 different oils they have the greatest selection of essential oils on the market today.
My wife and I use essential oils on a daily basis. Lavender, Peppermint, and of course, Thieves, are favorites. Though some people make a substantial income from the Young Living line, my wife and I do not. We enjoy using the products and selling to family and friends when they are in need. We highly recommend Young Living Essential Oils.
