ESSENTIAL OILS

Essential oils can help alter our physical, mental and emotional well-being by triggering and strengthening our bodies’ own natural processes. They are made up of tiny molecules that can deliver healing properties to the systems that control our physiological state.

 

The best way for the body to absorb the therapeutic components of essential oils is a combination of inhalation through the olfactory system of the nose and absorption through the surface of the skin:

 

Think about it like watering a plant: you hydrate the soil because that’s where the roots are to absorb the nutrients. You wouldn’t get the same effect if you just watered the leaves or flowers. Young Living deliberately designed these essential oil blends to be most effective through a combination of inhalation, topical application and dietary supplement. Each blend has recommended usage and application instructions that you can find on its individual product page.

Inhalation:

 

When essential oils are inhaled through the nose, tiny nerves send an immediate signal to the brain and go straight to work on the systems that moderate our minds and bodies.

 

Inhalation can be the most direct delivery method of these incredibly nurturing components in essential oils, since the chemical messengers in the nasal cavity have direct access to the brain.

 Topical Application:

 

When essential oils are applied to the skin, their healing components are absorbed into the bloodstream by the pores and hair follicles. Once inside the bloodstream, they disperse to the specific organs and systems on which they work. Pulse points are the areas of the body where blood vessels are closest to the skin’s surface.

 

Applying essential oils to these areas allows for quicker absorption and help them get to work faster. We suggest applying to the wrists, temples, back of the neck and bottom of feet. The bottom of the foot is the best application point for those of you with sensitive skin and aversions to certain scents.

Ingestion:

 

We only recommend Young Living Essential Oils for internal use because of their purity. Young Living carries a specific line for ingestion called Vitality.

 

Vitality contains only essential oils with no extra additives making it safe for consumption. View directions on each oil for proper usage.
