Day 5: The WHY of Essential Oils
I’m so glad we made it to the end of our series and have erased some of the mystery of getting started using oils. We’ve covered HOW, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE and today the final question….WHY!
I have been a natural health girl since I was a young wife. We had our babies at home and baked our own bread and used herbs and natural remedies for our family from the beginning. We even had goats for a while and milked them and made cheeses and yogurts. So oils were not a big leap for me. Maybe for you this is so new it’s scary. I understand. I feel that way about anything completely new! Just take it one step at a time and you’ll be fine.
Anyway, when I was first introduced to essential oils there weren’t 3,000 companies to buy them from. There were just a few and it was obvious to me after doing some reading that Young Living was the way go to. I found them to be not only making pure products, but also caring for the communities around their farms. That is something really important to me.
As time went on and oils got more popular, I watched other companies hit the scene. I’d check them out and always go back to Young Living. Now I use YL exclusively. I believe them to be the best, no contest. There are some things you want to make sure you have a quality product. I’ll buy generic groceries once in a while and I may buy some store brand paper products, but when it comes to oils and supplements you want quality.
Buy WHY?
- WHY do I need oils at all?! Wouldn’t it be amazing if I could sit down with you on my front porch and just talk about oils and how our family uses them? I’d LOVE that! But since we can’t, this is where we have to share info. I use oils because they are made from plants that God gave us for our health. Because natural is better than synthetic. Because I want my family to be healthy and strong. As I watch our medical system change and see more and more problems that come from the over use of medication, I want to be as careful as possible about how we stay healthy. Life gets hard, everyone has unique issues. I’m not going to tell you oils will cure anything or that you will never get sick if you own them. I am telling you that they improve your quality of life. They give you tools to use when you want to seek natural health. They promote a kind of wellness that I want! It’s about a lot more than pretty smells. This is about physical, emotional, spiritual health.
- OK, but WHY Young Living? Young Living is the only company that has the Seed to Seal process. This is a standard of excellence in purity and authenticity that is unmatched. From the seed planted in the ground until the seal is placed on the finished bottle this company is watching over all of it. No stone is left unturned. Young Living also takes seriously their roles to their farmers and their surrounding areas. They build schools and support the areas where they grow. I have been to the lavender farm in Utah, I have met the Youngs and many of the leaders in the company. They are genuine, passionate and caring. No business is perfect including Young Living, but I have seen them bend over backwards to correct mistakes and show concern for their members. You won’t find a better quality or more caring company anywhere.
- WHY have I not gotten started already?! I DON’T KNOW! I was just wondering that myself. I know the kits might be more than you can spend, but this is your wellness we’re talking about. You can figure out a way, I did! We had hardly any money and I told my husband that I would work to make the best use of these oils and he (kind of reluctantly) said we could take the plunge and finally get the whole kit. It’s been a life-changer for us. Save your money for a few months and then come back and join and I’ll make sure you get the extras that you need like resources and little bonuses (I have a different promotion each month!). Don’t let excuses stop you from ordering your kit and using your oils. If you have a few already, like I did at first, USE them! If you are ready to get the kit, let me know and I’ll answer any of your other questions.

Here’s a great video by Dr. Jim Bob Haggerton (He’s AWESOME) on the WHY of using essential oils. It’s long, but totally worth watching!
Using essential oils is as easy as 1-2-3-4-5. BAM! You did it!
Fun Fact: Did you know that the aroma of floral essential oils can help support emotional health?
Aromatherapy can play an important part in enhancing your emotional outlook on life, and florals are widely used in aromatherapy because of their ability to invoke positive thoughts and feelings of joy, happiness and hope. Florals can boost self esteem, confidence, and mental strength. They can also support the lifting of negative emotions thus supporting a feeling of calm, happiness, and peace within oneself. Remember oils are at least 70 times more concentrated than the flower itself. So next time you want to buy your loved one flowers, try getting a concentrated floral essential oil instead. The essential oils do not wither away like cut flowers, and will help their overall emotional well-being, with lasting results!
