Essential Oils
Essential oils, known as
nature’s living energy, are the natural, aromatic volatile liquids found
in shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds. The distinctive
components in essential oils defend plants against insects, environmental
conditions, and disease. They are also vital for a plant to grow, live,
evolve, and adapt to its surroundings. Essential oils are extracted from
aromatic plant sources via steam distillation, and are highly concentrated
and far more potent than dry herbs.
While essential oils often
have a pleasant aroma, their chemical makeup is complex and their benefits
vast—which makes them much more than something that simply smells good.
Historically, essential oils
have played a prominent role in everyday life. With more than 200
references to aromatics, incense, and ointments throughout the Bible,
essential oils are said to be used for anointing and healing the sick.
Today, essential oils are used for
aromatherapy,
massage therapy,
emotional health,
personal
care,
nutritional supplements,
household solutions, and much more.
Young Living Essential Oils,
the leading provider of essential oils, offers more than 300 essential oil
singles and blends. All Young Living essential oils meet the
YLTG
standard. This means that every essential oil Young Living distills or
sources has the optimal naturally-occurring blend of constituents to
maximize the desired effect. Only YLTG essential oils should be used for
the primary methods of application, which include
inhalation and
application.
----------------------------------------------------
Using Essential Oils
The following how-to-use
essential oils guide will show you how to experience their
health-enhancing benefits:
Inhalation
Inhaling essential oils
heightens the senses and can trigger numerous desired responses in the
body. Follow these guidelines when using essential oils for inhalation:
-
Inhale directly—simply
smell them.
-
Diffuse the oils using a
diffuser, which disperses the oil in a micro-fine vapor into the
air. The diffuser will not heat the oils, thus ensuring full benefits,
as extreme heat can damage important constituents in the oil.
-
Use with a humidifier. Put
a tissue or small cloth, sprinkled with a few drops of oil, in front of
the escaping steam. (Do not put essential oil in your humidifier. It
will float on top of the water instead of rising with the water vapor
and may cause damage to your humidifier. Carefully pour hot water into a
bowl and add a few drops of essential oil. Cover your head and bowl in a
tent-like fashion with a towel. Breathe deeply and slowly.
Topical Application
Topical application of many
essential oils is safe and can offer an enjoyable, relaxing experience.
For topical application, follow these simple steps:
-
Carefully tip the oil
bottle and place 2–3 drops in the palm of your hand or directly on the
desired application area.
-
If dropping oil in your
hand, rub palms together in a circular motion and then massage oil onto
the desired point of application. If applying directly to the desired
area, use your hand to massage the oil in a circular motion into the
skin. Repeat if desired.
-
Caution: Essential oils are
very potent and some may be irritating to the skin. If irritation
occurs, immediately apply pure vegetable oil such as
V-6™
Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex to the area to dilute. Please read
label directions for each individual oil before using.
Internal Consumption
Many essential oils make
excellent food flavorings or dietary supplements. To use essential oils
for internal consumption, Young Living suggests these methods:
-
Place several drops of oil
into an
empty capsule and swallow the capsule with water.
-
Add 1–2 drops to a glass of
water or rice milk.
-
Put 1–2 drops onto a piece
of bread or add to your meals when cooking.
-
Add 1–2 drops onto a
teaspoon of
Young Living Blue Agave and swallow.
-
Drop directly onto the
tongue and swallow. Exercise extreme caution when using this method.
Many essential oils are potent and should be tested by pouring a single
drop onto a spoon and tasting a small portion to determine the amount of
oil to be used.

Historical Use of Essential Oils
Essential oils are considered
mankind’s first medicine and have been used around the world for
centuries. Essential oils and other aromatics have been used in religious
rituals, to treat various illnesses, and for other physical and spiritual
needs.
Research dates the use of
essential oils back to 4500 BC. Ancient Egyptians were the first to
discover the potential of fragrance, and records demonstrate that oils and
aromatics were used for treating illness and performing rituals and
religious ceremonies in temples and pyramids. In fact, three oils that are
still commonly used today—cedarwood, myrrh, and frankincense—were used in
the embalming process.[1]
According to ancient Egyptian
hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians used oils
thousand of years before the time of Christ. There are more than 188
references to oils in the Bible, and some precious oils like frankincense,
myrrh, rosemary, cassia, and cinnamon were used for the anointing and
healing of the sick. Additionally, biblical prophets recognized the use of
essential oils as protection against disease.[2]
The reintroduction of
essential oils into modern medicine first began during the late 19th and
early 20th centuries. Since that time essential oils have been used
traditionally to kill harmful germs, as well as spiritually to balance
mood, lift spirits, and dispel negative emotions.
