WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?

Essential oils are the subtle, aromatic and volatile liquids extracted from the flowers, seeds, leaves, stems, bark and roots of herbs, bushes, shrubs and trees, through distillation. According to ancient Egytian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using essential oils thousands of years before Christ to heal the sick.

Pure essential oils are the oldest form of medicine and cosmetic known to man and were considered more valuable than gold. There are 188 references to oils in the Bible. Some of the precious oils which have been used since antiquity for anointing and healing the sick are frankincense, myrhh, galbanum, hyssop, cassia, cinnamon and spikenard. Clinical research now shows that frankincense oil contains very high immune stimulating properties. Science is only now beginning to investigate the incredible healing substances found in essential oils.

What is "Frequency"?

Frequency is defined as a measurable rate of electrical flow that is constant between any two points. Everything has an electrical frequency, and what an incredibe discovery it was for me to learn that essential oils contain frequencies that are several times greater than the frequencies of herbs and foods!

Clinical research shows that Essential Oils have the highest frequency of any substance known to man, creating an environment in which disease cannot live. Science is only now rediscovering "mankind's first medicine."

How Essential Oils Work:

Essential oils have an immediate impact on our sense of smell, also known as "olfaction". When essential oils are inhaled, olfactory receptor cells are stimulated and the impulse is transmitted to the emotional center of the brain, or "limbic system".

The limbic system is connected to areas of the brain linked to memory, breathing, and blood circulation, as well as the endocrine glands which regulate hormone levels in the body. The properties of the oil, the fragrance and its effects, determine stimulation of these systems.

When used in massage, essential oils are not only inhaled, but absorbed through the skin as well. They penetrate the tissues and find their way into the bloodstream where they are transported to the organs and systems of the body.

Essential oils have differing rates of absorption, generally between 20 minutes and 2 hours, so it is probably best not to bathe or shower directly following a massage to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Why Choose "Young Living" Essential Oils?

Essential Oils are perhaps the most exciting life-giving substance we have in the world today. D. Gary Young, ND, Aromacologist is helping to bring history to life as his research and formulas restore this ancient knowledge to our modern world. The ancient process of oil distillation is a delicate and precise art which has been almost forgotten. Science is just now rediscovering these healing substances that were used in ancient times and beginning to acknowledge their value.

Most of the oils on the market here in the United States are 4th and 5th quality oils, basically rejects from France. Many were originally produced for the perfume industry where they are distilled quickly at high pressure and high temperatures, fracturing the oil molecule and destroying the therapeutic qualities. Once brought to the United States, they are often cut with propylene glycol and synthetic constituents like lynelol acetate.

In order to have therapeutic effects, essential oils must be of the highest quality. They must be properly processed at low pressure and low temperature, they must be processed slowly and be free from added chemicals and solvents.

Gary Young, founder of Young Living Essential Oils, built his own distiller and began distilling the plants grown for this purpose on his Idaho farm. Today he is distilling some of the finest oils in the World, particularly Lavender. Young Living is committed to producing and selling the finest quality and purest oils in the World.
