highlights of this season. Fall offers so many opportunities for reflection and gratitude. When Mary and I started this journey over 20 years ago, we were determined to create the highest quality products possible. We immersed ourselves in research by studying and experimenting with different planting, cultivating, and harvesting methods in operation around the globe. I felt a passion within me grow that seemed bigger than life itself. The harvest was very satisfying, especially as so many of you came to be part of the Seed to Seal process. In spite of the many challenges and hard work, it was deeply rewarding. I know that many of you put a lot of time and energy into cultivating various aspects of your personal lives. As you think about your Young Living journey, ask yourself, “Do I put the necessary effort and energy into my business to enjoy a bountiful harvest?” One of my deepest beliefs is that you deserve to live an abundant life in which you are happy and healthy. Young Living provides the foundation to build upon. You are the farmer in your life, and with hard work and courage, you can reap all of the wonderful things you’ve sown. I’ve realized that fear—more than anything else—stops people from achieving the success

members have made the remarkable happen. On a recent trip to Uganda, Young Living Director of Global Philanthropy Nikki Davis put into action the funds that our members contributed during recent Young Living events. Her goal was ambitious: solidify, define, and maximize short-term and long-term plans for the Young Living Foundation’s partnerships with African Hearts Community Organization (AfriHCO), Sole Hope, and Healing Faith Uganda. Each of these philanthropic organizations is currently making tremendous impacts in the communities they serve; and now, with the support and help of the Young Living Foundation, they will be able to increase their impact.
AfriHCO As a result of Nikki’s visit, the partnership with AfriHCO has strategized to double its efforts through building an additional nursery school that would serve approximately 200 children. This will ultimately create a way to reach its goal of providing meals, education, and medical assistance to children in need seven days a week instead of the current three and cultivating 50 acres of land instead of the current 10 to feed
education to victims of a destructive foot parasite who have been shunned from their communities.
Healing Faith Uganda Working with the nonprofit Healing Faith Uganda, the foundation used funds donated by Young Living members to purchase the entire inventory of mosquito nets and backorder thousands more from local suppliers, providing them to homes in a local village. “Because of our member donations,” Nikki said, “every mud hut throughout the village of Wakisi is now pro-

This is a great outcome, congratulations and thank you for supplying pure Tea Tree essential oil to your valued customers,” the letter concludes. The Australian Tea Tree Industry Association is an organization formed to purchase random samples of Tea Tree essential oil from around the world and test for purity. A high incidence of Melaleu-
ca alternifolia adulteration has caused this group to purchase and test random samples of supposedly pure Tea Tree essential oil. A test has been developed to measure the purity of Tea Tree essential oil. In 2015 a study of this method was published in the
Journal of Chromatography A, which described the testing procedure. The Australian Tea Tree Industry reports that “50% of 43 commercial samples tested failed to comply with the proposed chiral ratios. Further, of 15 commercially sourced samples in the European Union, 73% of these showed significant differences in chiral abundances while Tea Tree essential oil from both North America and Asia also displayed similar results where [approximately] 50% of the tested samples did not match the expected results.” The

YOUNG LIVING IS the world leader in essential oils and other essential oil-infused products. Through our proprietary Seed to Seal® process and our cutting-edge fusion of ancient and modern techniques, we are able to maintain our high quality standards. Because of our careful attention to process, Young Living is recognized as an innovator of essential oil distillation. We use a gentle, proprietary steam distillation technique for extracting essential oils and preserving their precious constituents. Our dedicated distillery managers oversee the distillation process during harvest time for the extraction of pure, authentic essential oils from various plants and trees. The distillation process includes a number of exacting steps that help guarantee that when an essential oil is distilled, not only is it pure, but it also contains ideal levels of important constituents. Distillery managers help make sure that each part of the Distill step in our Seed to Seal process receives the painstaking attention that it deserves—from properly testing Brix levels, to drying harvested botanicals, to properly loading the extraction chambers, to ensuring ideal steam temperatures, to keeping our state-of-the-art equipment clean and running correctly.
