Essential Oils 101: The Premium Starter Kit

And now we arrive at one of my favorite things about Young Living… The Premium Starter Kit!

Most of us are living on a pretty strict budget these days, myself included. A few years ago when I first learned about Young Living Essential Oils (YLEOs) and tried them out, I loved everything about the products immediately… except the price tag. How could I afford to use these oils?

The sweet ladies that taught me about YLEOs mentioned to me that I could sign up as a distributor to receive the 24% off retail (wholesale) pricing. “Yeah… but, what’s the catch?” I thought to myself. I was told that there was NO CATCH! As a distributor I was not obligated to actually sell any products. I could sign up strictly to get the discount on purchasing products for my own use. “But how much do I have to spend each month to get that discount?” I thought. NO MONTHLY PURCHASES! The only requirement was that I spend $50 product value per YEAR and I had one year from my sign up date to spend that. “Um, for real???” 50 PV is the equivalent of just a couple of bottles! I knew I would want to buy at least a couple bottles in a years time as I was looking to grow my personal oil collection!

But… what if I decided I didn’t want to make that 50 PV purchase within the year? Would there be a penalty? Nope! NO PENALTY! If you decide not to make another purchase, you are simply put on an “inactive” status. It’s no risk to you.

Of course, as a distributor I had the option to turn my love for essential oils into a home business, but I wanted to make sure that I really, really loved the products before I did that, so I just bought the oils at wholesale price to use for myself and my family members… and now a few years later, I am sharing what I know & selling them as a business because I really do love YLEOs!!!

So, let’s lay this out in an easy-read format…

The Premium Starter Kit includes:

• The Everyday Oils Collection (retail $163.16)

Essential Oils 101: Diffusers

As you have read through the Essential Oils 101 series, have you noticed a trend in how many times Young Living essential oil diffusers are mentioned? That’s because although not all essential oils are safe for topical and/or internal use, almost any essential oil can safely be diffused! A good diffuser is a must-have for any essential oil junkie!

Reasons to use diffusers:

• Uplift mood
• Reduce depression
• Ease anxiety
• Calm atmosphere
• Increase mental clarity
• Increase alertness
• Increase focus
• Deodorize / freshen
• Sanitize
• Eliminate pathogens
• Fight respiratory symptoms (cold, cough, congestion, etc.)
• Relieve allergy symptoms

Young Living sells multiple types of diffusers. You should pick which diffuser would work best for you based on your individual needs. Here are links to the different diffusers:

• The Aroma Diffuser (comes in The Premium Starter Kit)
• The Rose Home Diffuser
• The Travel Fan Diffuser
• The USB Orb Diffuser
• The TheraPro Premium Diffuser
• The Aromalux Atomizing Diffuser
• The Aria Ultrasonic Diffuser

The Premium Starter Kit includes the Aroma Diffuser. I have found that this diffuser (the Aroma Diffuser) works very well and meets all of my at home needs. When out and about or on a trip, I like using the Travel Fan Diffuser because it is light, compact, works well in small areas & packs up easily.

What questions do you have about diffusers? How have you used diffusers with your essential oils?

Essential Oils 101: Joy

The last oil in the Young Living Everyday Oils Collection is a blend called “Joy.” This oil blend is a mixture of Bergamot, Ylang ylang, Geranium, Lemon, Coriander, Tangerine, Jasmine, Roman chamomile, Palmarosa, and Rose. Joy is calming, uplifting, and can be used on children. This is also a great blend to have on hand for any woman when it’s near or during “that time” of the month because Joy can not only relieve menstrual cramps, but also balances emotions. One caution with this oil is that it can cause photo sensitivity, so avoid large amounts of direct sunlight within 12 hours of using. Joy is also an interesting blend because it works well when applied over the heart area. A good way to remember this is that we all want to bring “joy to our heart!”

Some uses for Joy essential oil blend:

If you suffer from muscle and joint pain and discomfort, then the essential oil blend I am talking about today may be just the relief you having been looking to find!

Essential Oils 101: Valor

This essential oil blend is one of the most coveted items in the Young Living product lineup. The main reason being that Young Living Valor essential oil blend is known for enhancing the properties over other essential oils when used in combination with them. Valor is frequently out of stock & when it is not out of stock, it becomes that way fast! However, it comes in the Everyday Oils Collection along with the 9 other oils I have been talking about recently. Unless you have sensitive skin, dilution is not always required when using Valor. Because it works directly with the nervous system, this blend of spruce, rosewood, blue tansy & frankincense promotes feelings of strength and courage & has a lovely scent as well.

Valor got its name because Roman soldiers bathed in the ingredients in it before going into battle in order to promote strength and courage (as stated above, this happens by the oil properties working directly with the nervous system).

Some uses for Valor essential oil blend:

• Promote feelings of strength & courage
  • Apply a drop or two to your neck area when it’s time to have a serious talk with your boss, friend, or teenager

Essential Oils 101: Peace & Calming

Ready for something relaxing? That’s just what you will get with Young Living Peace & Calming essential oil blend! I have only recently started using this wonderful blend of tangerine, orange, ylang ylang, patchouli & blue tansy, but I wish I had started using it sooner! Not only is it relaxing, but it smells kind of like candy!

Life can be stressful and there was one day in particular a few weeks ago where I had one of *those* days. You know the type of day I am talking about? The one where nothing seems to go according to plan and by bedtime you find that you have a headache, tense shoulders, a furrowed brow, a racing mind & a bad attitude? Please tell me I’m not the only one that finds myself in this situation at times. Well, the first thing I would recommend in this scenario is to spend time meditating on Philippians 4:8 and praying to God through Jesus name, but while you’re doing that, here are some ways that this great oil blend can relieve the tension as well…

Some uses for Peace & Calming essential oil blend:

• Promote relaxation, decrease stress/anxiety, thought clarity
  • Add a few drops to a hot bath to unwind after a long day
  • Massage on the reflex points of the feet and back of the neck for a soothing and relaxing effect
  • Rub on soles of feet to release tension and promote a good night’s rest
  • Rub on a child’s great toes at night to promote restful sleep
  • Diffuse in your diffuser
• Promote peaceful atmosphere, decrease stress & uplift mood

  • Diffuse to calm overactive children and/or apply to the soles of their feet
  • Diffuse in your diffuser

  • 2-3 drops rubbed onto legs

Unlike most essential oils, dilution is not always required when using Peace & Calming. However, if you have sensitive skin I would recommend diluting. It is also considered suitable for use on children age 2 and older, but I do know some mom’s who have used it (diluted) on the soles of the feet of younger children to promote relaxation without any issue.

Essential Oils 101: Thieves

 

I am so excited to have the opportunity to tell you about Young Living Thieves essential oil blend! This is one of my absolute favorite blends… actually, I think I would dare say it is the best essential oil blend. It is antibacterial, antiviral, antiseptic, antifungal, and all around antipathogenic. It is my first line of defense for anything germ related. Before I get into the many uses for Thieves, I want to tell you the story of how this blend got its name.

Back in the 15th century, there was an outbreak of the black plague in Europe. Many died from this serious illness, but there was a group of thieves who would travel around, robbing the dead of their possessions and yet somehow they never caught the plague. It was later found that these robbers were using a blend of lemon, eucalyptus, cinnamon bark, rosemary and clove to prevent themselves from contracting disease. These are the ingredients that Young Living now uses to create their special blend called Thieves. This mixture is so effective that Young Living even has a specific line of household cleaning and hygiene products using Thieves oil!

Remember in a previous post I talked about how unlike pharmaceuticals, essential oils have the ability to penetrate to the inside of the cell wall? Well, that is exactly what Thieves can do! The result is amazing!

I have so many stories of how this oil blend has personally helped me and my family prevent sickness, shorten the span of contracted illness, and sanitize to protect against the spread of pathogens. I would not want to be caught without Thieves… especially in cold/flu season! Thieves oil should be always be used with a carrier oil because it contains essential oils that are considered “hot” (aka spicy) which could irritate the skin. The essential oils in this blend that are considered “hot” are clove & cinnamon bark. The amount of carrier oil you will want to use depends on your own sensitivity, so if you find the oil is too “hot,” try using more carrier oil. So now, onto the many uses for Thieves…

 Some uses for Thieves blend:

• Sanitize / disinfect
  • Combine with a carrier oil and apply to wrists and behind ears for a subtle perfume
  • Use for scenting other homemade body products such as lotion, deodorant, etc.

Essential Oils 101: Purification

I don’t know why it took me so long to start using Young Living Purification essential oil blend. It was just another essential oil blend… until one day I opened the bottle and smelled the incredible scent provided by the combination of lemongrass, citronella, rosemary, tea tree, lavender, and myrtle. Light and sweet with just a touch of spicy. If I wasn’t hooked immediately by the aroma, the list of uses was enough to win me over! This oil blend is considered safe for children 2 years of age and older, but I have used it in my homemade bug spray on my infant son without any issue (and he even has sensitive skin), because I am much more comfortable using this oil blend to repel bugs away from him than using ingredients in store bought repellants on him! This oil is also considered safe to use on dogs and horses. Use with caution on cats.

Some uses for Purification blend:

  • Dilute 8-10 drops in a 8-10oz spray bottle filled with filtered water, shake & spray on like store bought repellant

Young Living Lemon essential oil is another oil I wouldn’t want to be without! Lemon is naturally antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral, and antipathogenic in general.
