As the fall heads out and winter arrives.
|
I recently taught a workshop all about the scents of fall. It's one of my favorite ones to teach. I have our class handout PDF below just for you!
We talked about how using essential oils can be one of the easiest ways to make healthy changes in your home. I hope that you have found some great ways to do that and wanted to share the information that I put together for that class with you! Helping others get started with essential oils this time of year is doing them a HUGE favor. When people use candles with poor ingredients and artificial fragrances, they could be harming their lungs as much as cigarettes do. |
There are at least 3,163 ingredients that can be included in the label "fragrance." 1 in 6 of those are toxic. We have no way of knowing what is being included as this is proprietary information. It is highly likely that anything with fragrance in the ingredients does contain some form of hazardous toxin.
And all for the sake of the pumpkin pie scent or Christmas tree fragrance. We know they can get that with real, all natural, completely pure essential oils! Young Living is always going to ensure that.

It's important to know the truth about essential oils.
Using essential oils is a positive alternative. However, it is important to know the source and the process used to provide those. Most companies want to mass produce oils, never have any go out of stock for the season and do not focus on sustainability to the world's resources.
For example, some oil distribution companies buy their oils from China and other countries with unethical labor and product laws, unsustainable farming practices, exploitation of natural treasures of communities around the world, use of pesticides and petrochemicals and adding the same harmful synthetic fragrance.
Essential oils are being over sourced and over supplied: There is 2 times the demand for lavender oil in the world than supply of actual lavender plant. That means at least half of all lavender on this planet was never even a plant. It is completely synthetic, made in a lab, sold as all natural and pure.
Some essential oils will be labeled as one plant but will be sourced from a different plant with similar scent profile but not same chemical or therapeutic profile. This actually matters a lot when it comes to using plants for therapeutic use. You could find this out if you use a lavender that is actually produced from Lavandin. Don't put lavandin on a burn. It will make it worse. Now pure lavender (which is all you get in a bottle of Young Living Lavender), put that on a burn and feel relief!

The Seed to Seal Young Living difference:
Our Young Living oils are sourced from plants and seed that have been unadulterated. They are not trimmings of other plants. They are grown in environments that produce the greatest therapeutic effect because that is why Young Living makes essential oils. They are cultivated at proper temperatures, seasons and with least invasive methods. They are distilled at the proper temperature, for the needed amount of time and in the right time of year to produce the greatest therapeutic impact as well as to get the most essential oil out of the source. There is a LOT that goes into bringing us high quality essential oils.
Young Living prices essential oils based on what it takes to cultivate and extract the precious chemical constituents, to work with local communities and pay them good wages, and to keep the planet healthy and thriving.
Some plants are less expensive for this and others are more. For perspective: It costs $12,000 to HAND WEED an acre of lavender versus $60 to treat it with pesticides.
One example is: it takes Cypress 24 hours in the distillation process to release its 280 chemical constituents. If you distill for 20 hours, you get 20 constituents. 26 hours? Zero constituents. However, most Cypress oil on the market is distilled for 3.5 hours. This is not going to produce many if any therapeutic constituents. Though it will have a weak imitation smell.
With Young Living each farms soil is different, from state to state and country to country. Here are some examples of how that looks: mushroom compost for the lavender in Utah; fish pond for Idaho; companion crops- to grow alongside Ylang Ylang in Ecuador to keep the bugs away that eat Ylang Ylang plants.
I know this information is true because I have seen it in action! This time two years ago I was preparing for Winter Harvest where we got to harvest and distill Idaho Balsam Fir.

I joined Essential Rewards two month's after I got my Premium Starter Kit and the only regret I have is not joining sooner! I placed an order without earning my free oils! I lost the points and the percentage back! There are so many perks to Essential Rewards. Let me know if you want to figure out what you could use monthly while earning 10-25% back. No one else gives me that for our supplements, laundry detergent or body wash!
