Lovingly harvested from farm-grown and wildcrafted plants, herbs, and trees, essential oils are concentrated plant extracts obtained by careful steam distillation, cold pressing, or resin tapping. These pure essential oils are far more powerful than the botanicals from which they are extracted. We offer hundreds of single oils, blends, and oil-infused products, each containing the optimal levels of specific, naturally occurring constituents to maximize their potency. Whether you use oils for aromatherapy, personal care, or household solutions, every aspect of daily life can benefit from the incorporation of essential oils!

HOW TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS

A R O M AT I C A L LY TOPICALLY INTERNALLY

Use essential oils aromatically to uplift the spirit.

• Rub 2-3 drops of essential oil between your palms and inhale.

• Add a few drops of essential oil to a bowl of hot water. Cover your head and bowl with a towel. Breathe deeply and slowly.

• Use your favorite essential oils in our diffusers. Many essential oils are safe and beneficial to use directly on the skin.

• Place 2-3 drops of essential oil directly on the desired area and massage in. Repeat as desired. Always follow the label’s dilution instructions.

CAUTION: Essential oils are very potent

and may be irritating to the skin. If irritation

occurs apply Young Living’s V-6 TM Vegetable

Oil Complex or any pure vegetable oil to the area to dilute. Citrus-based oils and blends may cause temporary photosensitivity.

When taking Young Living Vitality ™ oils internally, try these tips:

• Place several drops of oil into a vegetable capsule (see page 67) and swallow with water.

• Add 1-2 drops of essential oil to a glass

of water, NingXia Red ® , juice, yogurt,

your favorite sweetener, or plant-based milk and swallow.

• Add 1-2 drops of oil (to taste) to meals when cooking.
