Essential oils are the aromatic, volatile liquids distilled from plants.  The oil can be obtained from the seeds, roots, and entire shrub, flowers, leaves and trees.  The Bible contains 188 references to the use of essential oils or the plants from which they are derived.  Pretty cool!

I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first (and totally called my friends crazy hippies) but the more I heard testimonies of the miraculous ways these oils were working for my friends,  I had to give them a try.

You may have also heard about these oils from Dr. Oz and Oprah. Oprah is a die hard Thieves lover and mentioned it in her must-have travel essentials in O Magazine. If Oprah endorses it, hello, it’s a good product!!.

The essential oils from Young Living are all therapeutic grade oils you can diffuse, apply topically, and ingest.  Basically things that you’d typically run to the medicine cabinet and pop a pill for.

Where to start?

There are eleven oils,  the Home Diffuser, some samples to share with friends, and some literature  in the Premium Starter Kit.   Again, this is how I got started, and I highly recommend oily newbies start here!  You can address sooo many issues with this kit  that it really makes it a fabulous deal.  I also recommend the Bamboo Diffuser, because it’s gorgeous, and has both a  1-hour and 4-hour timer.  That shuts off automatically.  And I have mommy brain, so this was a no-brainer.
