The Power of Essential Oils

The Power of Essential Oils in the Realm of Personal, Holistic Healthcare

“No matter how costly pure essential oils may be, there can be no substitutes” 

Anyone venturing into the world of therapy using essential oils must use the purest quality oils available.  Inferior quality or adulterated oils most likely will not produce therapeutic results and could possibly be toxic.  In Europe, a set of standards has been established that outlines the chemical profile and principal constitituents that a quality essential oil should have.  Known as AFNOR (Association French Normalisation Organisation Regulation) and ISO (International Standards Organisation) standards, these guidelines help buyers differentiate between a therapeutic-grade essential oil and a lower grade oil with a similar chemical makeup and fragrance.

Every batch of essential oil that comes into Young Living is tested by highly trained independent European laboratories which utilise AFNOR standards.  Batches that do not meet the standards are rejected and returned.

Young Living is one of the few companies in the world that grows plants from seed (not hybrids), distils and bottles its products.

Myrrh (commiphora myrrha) has been used in the Middle East for many skin conditions, including rashes and chapped or cracked skin.  It contains sesquiterpenes which stimulate the limbic system of the brain and the hypothalamus.  The hypothalamus is the master gland of the human body, producing many vital hormones including thyroid and growth hormone.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) relieves muscles spasm/sprains/pains, headaches, inflammation, anxiety.  It is excellent for skin problems such as psoriasis, and is known for its ability to heal burns and other injuries without scarring.  Has been used to reduce stretch marks.  It is hypotensive, anti-infectious, and anticoagulant.

Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) is considered a holy anointing oil in the Middle East.  It stimulates the hypothalamus to amplify immunity.  Research at PonceUniversity in Puerto Rico shows that it inhibits breast cancer and enhances DNA repair.  In ancient times, it was well-known for its healing powers, and was reportedly used to treat every conceivable ill.

Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) is calming and relaxing and has been historically used to calm crying children.  It is used in Europe for skin conditions including acne, dermatitis and eczema.  Its calmative effects can help with restlessness, anxiety, depression and insomnia.

Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) improves circulation and reduces blood viscosity.  It is anticoagulant, regulates cholesterol, stimulates liver cell function and reduces plaque deposits from veins and arteries.

Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils

NOTE: For an oil to be “therapeutic-grade” requires careful distillation without the use of chemicals. The pressure when distilled, maturity of the plant when harvested, time of day harvested, richness of soil the plant was grown in, amongst other factors all affect the quality of the oil. That is why there is such a range of quality found in oils today. Many oils are distilled quickly at high temperatures, and by using chemicals to help extract the oils. These practices destroy much of the therapeutic value of the oils.

Young Living’s oils are unadulterated with no chemical additives; free of chemicals and metals.  Young Living stands by its products with the assurance that the oils are as close to Mother Nature’s standard as possible.
