Young Living Oils

Plants not only play a vital role in the ecological balance of our planet, but they have also been intimately linked to the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of mankind since the beginning of time.

Essential oils are some of the oldest and most powerful therapeutic agents known to man. Most people today are unaware that they have an impressive multi-millennium long history of use in healing and anointing through the ancient world.

Dozens of essential oils are cited repeatedly in Judeo-Christian religious texts and records show they were used to treat virtually every ailment known to man at that time.

Frankincense, myrrh, lotus, cedar wood, and sandalwood oils were widely used in ancient Egyptian purification and embalming rituals. Other oils, like cinnamon, clove and lemon were highly valued as antiseptics hundreds of years before the development of today's synthetic medicines.

Even though essential oils are many times more potent than natural herbs; essential oils, unlike prescription drugs, very rarely generate any negative side effects. Essential oils therapeutic potential is enormous and is only just beginning to be tapped. Their effects can be calming, balancing, toning and stimulating.
