WE HAVE BETTER DIGESTION A serene space ignites the parasympathetic nervous system, which allows us to effectively assimilate our nutrients and have a more peaceful digestion (less bloating and discomfort).
WE SLEEP BETTER As we remove clutter from under our bed and declutter our bedroom, we create a more tranquil space for rest, and thus support ourselves in getting a deeper night’s sleep (which also supports our immune system and helps us feel happier the next day).

Advertorial With so many companies selling essential oils, are you confused???? How to Choose Essential Oils
(By the Founder of YOUNG LIVING™ ESSENTIAL OILS)
YOUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS — established over 20 years ago—laid the foundation for the company’s total commitment to using the purist seed, sustainable cultivation, optimum distillation, extensive testing of each batch of oils, and quality control inspection of each bottle to assure the purest, most potent essential oils available in the world. (SeedToSeal.com) Today, YOUNG LIVING’S Vision has grown into a world wide, essentialoil trend, and the trend is fueled by the consumer’s strong desire to bypass toxin-laden, synthetic scents used in many products. Unfortunately, as with any trend, many competitive companies have been spawned that attempt to convince the consumer that their products are “pure essential oils” too, but instead may utilize synthetic oil imitations, or oils made from genetically modified seeds, or oils diluted with carrier oils, or oils distilled from plants grown with pesticides and/or herbicides—all of which distorts, weakens and chemically changes the innate power of essential oils.
YOUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS set the standard for authenticity 20 years ago, and that same high standard is still our “Calling” today — via our strict, Seed To Seal requirements used on all our company-owned farms and distilleries (in Utah; Idaho; France; Ecuador; British Columbia; Croatia; Israel, Taiwan) as well as on our Certified Partner-farms around the world. YOUNG LIVING also Partners with local Frankincense Harvesters in Oman to obtain our exclusive Sacred Frankincense Resin (from centuries-old Frankincense trees).
