THE
NEWS OF THE WORLD LEADER IN ESSENTIAL OILS
This year Young Living has been relentlessly focused on helping you—our Young Living distributors—achieve and even surpass the success you envision for yourself. Whether your goal is to build a personal business or to strengthen your family and friends through Young Living’s exceptional products, we want to help you achieve your goals and dreams. Many of you have recently been inspired from unique and monumental presentations and webinars taught by Bob Proctor and me. I am extremely excited as I think about our partnership together and the benefits that will quickly be coming your way as we build an even better Young Living. I am fully confident that this year of transformation is a new beginning in helping you get where you want to be. How am I so confident in the future? Because we are changing our paradigms! For those of you who have participated in the various webinars and seminars, you know that paradigms are a multitude of habits that have been passed on from one generation to another that affect our behaviors and shape what we do in life. In order to reach new heights and accomplish exciting success, the old habits that are holding us back must be broken and replaced with elevated thoughts and actions. The key to changing your paradigms is to understand what you are now and what you want to be. You simply start moving forward and let that conviction lead you. You may not know how you are going to get there as you begin, but as you start on your transformational path, the “how” will unfold in ways you never thought possible. Please accept my challenge: break your old, limiting habits and pursue a life of limitless, transformational discovery and success. Be a part of the Young Living family and envelop yourself in the mission and message we carry to the world.
MEET THE NEW ®
Young Living has done SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY: it has super-enhanced the industry-leading superfruit juice, NingXia Red. After a great eight-year run, Young Living researchers and developers determined that NingXia Red could be better, so they made it better. What’s new? Let’s start with the turbo-charged infusion of essential oils. The new NingXia Red has seven times more pure therapeutic-grade essential oils that have been selected for their optimal health and flavor profiles, creating a blend of orange, yuzu, lemon, and tangerine essential oils that are packed with 93 percent limonene—a powerful antioxidant. These potent essential oils work in symphony with the stunning wolfberry juice from the legendary Asian berry that has been sought after for centuries for energy and health and continues to produce exciting, new health properties. But the wolfberry isn’t the only juice in the new NingXia Red: you’ll taste and feel the benefits of the delicious, antioxidant-rich pomegranate, blueberry, cherry, plum, and aronia juices. These juices deliver vitamins and core building blocks to supply your body with
the resources it needs to revitalize health and wellness. The natural flavors in the new NingXia Red are further enhanced by the addition of zero-calorie stevia. The superb combination is a tastetesting superstar: 77 percent of participants preferred it to similar superfruit beverages in a major university study. You will be cheering the new taste! NingXia Red’s new, all-natural formula of vital and dense nutrient combinations, transformational benefits, and amazing taste make it easier than ever to share with family and friends. Sharing the lasting health and wellness benefits of NingXia Red will propel you along your path to achieving true wellness, vitality, and abundance. The new NingXia Red is the featured product in the 2012 Holiday Catalog, available now at youngliving.com.

Bob Proctor and the Farm Experience “When distributors come here, go through a tour, and see everything, their business could multiply...” —Bob Proctor Since this summer’s International Grand Convention in Salt Lake City, Bob Proctor’s vision of what Young Living is has come full circle. Through guest speaking, webinars, and after many hours spent with Gary and Mary Young, distributors, and Young Living employees, Mr. Proctor had to experience just one more thing to truly grasp what differentiates Young Living from everybody else: its farms. During late August, Mr. Proctor flew to Utah for a few days to learn even more about the world leader in essential oils. Gary Young made sure Mr. Proctor’s few days in Utah were filled with eye-witness, hands-on experiences that included a day at the Young Living lavender farm in Mona, Utah. “You can’t call this place a farm,” said Mr. Proctor, while looking out over the endless fields of plants and the various villages. “This isn’t a farm; this is an experience. I saw the boiler room and watched as peppermint was distilled;
I tasted it. You would have to come up with a name for this place, but a farm is not adequate. I’m really glad I came, really happy.” Known for consulting with major companies throughout the world, Mr. Proctor believes that the Young Living farms are a breeding ground for running a successful Young Living business. “I think every distributor should definitely come here,” said Mr. Proctor. “When distributors come here, go through a tour, and see everything, their business could multiply, for sure, because they get a great sense of what business they’re in.” Young Living, like its farms, is focused on creating an experience and abundance for its distributors, according to Mr. Proctor. “Gary and Mary want to help people build a business. I can see them doubling the size of this company in a short period of time because it is so well positioned to really make something happen.”
YL Around the World SINGAPORE
During September, leaders from Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong converged in Nusa Dua, Bali, for the 2012 Southeast Asia Leadership Seminar.

To further add to the region’s energy and excitement, Gary Young toured Southeast Asia from September 27– October 2. Gary’s visits to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Philippines were very much appreciated by all members in the region.

Sourcing Citrus Essential Oils in Brazil Young Living is out in the world guaranteeing that our Seed to Seal® process is followed by our sources. By Mary Lou Jacobson Young Living Director of Purchasing

THE
Young Living Essential Oils recently visited Brazil to look at citrus and eucalyptus essential oil sources. Our Seed to Seal process of examining farm practices, various distillation processes, and quality processes, remains the top priority in all of our sourcing. We were especially interested in visiting citrus farms. Citrus essential oils are pressed from peels of the fruit and are not steam distilled. Most of the citrus oils are by-products of juice extraction, but not always. The essential oil in citrus fruits is contained in small pockets just below the surface of the skin. The fruit produces essential oil to discourage pests and insects from attacking it. Brazil produces large amounts of orange juice, and Young Living visited Essential Edge News
two different producers, each of whom claimed to produce 30 percent of the world’s supply of orange juice. Imagine the essential oil quantities produced just at these two facilities! After the oranges are thoroughly washed, the juice is squeezed from the bottom while the peel is pressed upward. The juice runs out the bottom of the press, and the essential oil is pressed upwards, collected in tubes at the top, and transferred to large centrifugal containers that spin fast enough to separate the essential oil from other liquids. The essential oil is collected in large tanks and kept near freezing because the cold temperature separates out any waxes left in the essential oil. Both of these large producers own
and operate massive multicultural farms of orange, lime, and mandarin groves. In addition, we visited a smaller multicultural farm that is dedicated to the production of essential oils but not the production of juice—although some of the peel is candied for fruitcakes at Christmastime. At this facility the fruit is thoroughly washed and then run over large graters that look very similar to the grater in your kitchen. The grated peel is mixed with water, and a slurry of peel and water is sent to a container that separates the water and the oil. Waste product is composted and returned to the soil. This farm produces bitter orange, lemon, lime, and bergamot. It is interesting to note that there is no waste at these large facilities. All of the pulp and peel is dried in a kiln and processed for animal feed. We also visited a eucalyptus farm that uses university studies to determine the best practices for planting eucalyptus trees. After healthy nursery stock is planted in soil prepared with organic matter from distillery by-products, the trees are cared for and let grow for five
years. At that time a few of the trees are marked for future timber or telephone poles. The majority of the trees are cut at ground level, and the leaves are removed with traditional machetes. The leaves are then piled on trucks and sent to a steam distillery located on the property. To avoid waste, the tree trunk and branches are made into charcoal. The lot number of each batch of essential oil is tracked and filtered and a GC is analyzed before the lots are combined in large stainless-steel containers. In addition to using the distillery waste for organic material in the fields, this waste is also used to fire the boilers, so all parts of these eucalyptus trees are used for products or returned to the earth. This includes collecting the smoke from charcoal production to create liquid smoke flavoring for foods. Young Living is out in the world guaranteeing that our Seed to Seal process is followed by our sources. We know that ensuring quality from seed to seal is absolutely crucial so that we can continue to provide the world with pure therapeutic-grade essential oils.
