What are Essential Oils?
Here’s the thing, these gems from nature are incredibly powerful… and versatile… and maybe you want them for energy, focus, smoother digestion, or creating a non-toxic life, or all of the above!
They have been used for hundreds of years to support wellness in people all over the world.
So what are they?
Think of essential oils as the immune system of a plant. The oil of a plant carries nutrients to help the plant stay healthy.
Science has now discovered that these nutrients of the plants, or chemical constituents, also support every system in the human body - all 11- such as the nervous system, digestive, reproductive, muscular, etc.
Pretty cool, eh?
BUT not all oils are created equally. There is a wide variety of quality out there and it’s like comparing strawberry jello to freshly picked, organic, strawberries. You know the jello isn’t as good for you as the strawberries and you’re also probably aware the jello contains ingredients that are actually unsafe for consumption.
If you want the benefits we are talking about, you need oils that have all the nutrients within them.
So that’s why we only use Young Living. They are the only company that farms all of their plants sources themselves OR partners directly with the farmer who does to abide by strick protocols to ensure the oils that come from the plants abide by Young Living’s strict protocols.
AND you can actually visit these farms! (We have!) It is quite an experience to feel the energy there!
