Welcome to the wonderful world of Young Living Essential Oils! You probably are asking yourself . . . . why would I start with a Premium Starter Kit, and what would I do with all those essential oils? I think many of us started out feeling that way!
Looking at all the essential oils online was truly exciting, and the Premium Starter Kit does come with a Home Diffuser, so that was a major plus for me. However, I thought that there was no way I would use these essential oils every single day. Boy was I wrong!
I couldn't wait for my Premium Starter Kit to arrive! Once I received my kit, I immediately opened and smelled every single oil. Being someone who is sensitive to overpowering smells and odors (especially synthetic and perfumey ones), I was thrilled to find that the oils smelled nothing like a bad perfume or chemical cocktail. How is that possible? Because these oils come directly to us from nature, contain a plethora of healing properties, and contain NO chemicals or anything synthetic! I caution against using adulterated oils, lotions, perfumes, or any other synthetically-fragranced personal care product to anyone who will listen. Those types of products are pretty much guaranteed to be loaded with chemicals that have been linked to cancer, reproductive toxicity, allergies, and much more. Not something I want to be inhaling or allow to be absorbed into my body via my skin.
I set up my diffuser and decided my first bit of aromatherapy would be 4 drops of Joy . . . . an incredibly refreshing and uplifting scent. I immediately fell in love with this oil and put a couple of drops on my wrists and my neck, so I could smell it all day! I was hooked!!
Next came the sleep "test". As someone who suffers from chronic pain and has issues falling asleep and / or staying asleep (due to menopause, as well as complications from two accidents), I am always on the prowl for natural sleep remedies. I have found things that have helped in the past, however they usually only work for a short time, then they stop working, so it's back to being frustrated (and exhausted) from lack of sleep! Also, there are many times when my brain will just not shut off, so I will sometimes lie there for hours hoping to get even a little sleep. However, even though I may finally fall asleep, I still tend to wake up several times throughout the night. I will tell you that I have had some success with using essential oils for sleeping, though I am still trying different oils and supplements and hoping to find that magic combination! The oils I currently rotate are RutaVaLa, Lavender, Peace and Calming, EndoFlex, Cedarwood, or a combination of those. It's a process, though I am patiently awaiting my delivery of Sleep Essence, so more to come!
Then I read about Valor essential oil, which is an empowering combination of therapeutic-grade essential oils that works with both the physical and spiritual aspects of the body to increase feelings of strength, courage, and self-esteem in the face of adversity. It has also been found to help energy alignment in the body. As an energy and spiritual healer, I was immediately drawn to this oil, and have to say that it quickly became one of my favorites.
Since ordering my Premium Starter Kit, I have expanded my essential oil collection little by little, and even switched out my old supplements for YL nutritional supplements, which are made with essential oils. All I can say is, I wish I had found this stuff year ago! However, I have them now, so I won't let another day go by without using these amazing products. I invite you to explore the 10 Everyday Oils below and just take a peek at some of the ways you can use them.
When you join my team you'll also receive the Essential Oils Pocket Reference Guide which has all oils and remedies listed. It is considered the "Essential Oil Bible" and you don't want to be without it! I also offer other monthly specials in addition to the EOPR, so be sure to ask about those!
