Q&A
"ARE ESSENTIAL OILS SAFE?"
Our culture is new to the idea of using natural methods and essential oils for supporting our bodies. However, essential oils have been used for thousands of years all around the world! That being said, thousands of years of use means thousands of years of research! When doing your own research, finding credible sources is KEY. Make sure that they are trustworthy and from a person, or book you know and trust! .
But to make it easier on you, there are some awesome resources you can find online at PubMed.gov or Life Science Publishers! You can find articles/books written by doctors and scientists that talk about the safety, science, chemistry and usage of essential oils. Young Living also has TONS of safety and usage information on their website.

This is just the tip of the iceberg! It is also why we talk about the impact joining a community has! We walk with you side by side on your oily journey!
“DO I HAVE TO DO THE BUSINESS?”
Absolutely not! Actually, only 5% of Young Living members build a business. The choice to build is always there and available to you, but there will never be any pressure or obligation to build!
“WHY CAN’T I JUST BUY OILS AT THE GROCERY STORE?”
The essential oil industry is not regulated. This means that companies can put any synthetic fillers or additives they want into what they then label as a “pure essential oil”. This even goes for oils labeled organic. When you are using essential oils for your health, it can be very dangerous to put these so called “pure oils” into and on your bodies! They could end up doing more harm than good.
This is why Young Living is the best! Young Living owns their own farms and distilleries across the globe. Their oils are genuine, free of synthetic chemicals, and of unmatched purity. They go beyond organic practices! In fact, Gary Young (the founder of YL) is so passionate about his call to stewardship that he will not grow or harvest plants in soil if the land has been used to farm anything else in the last 50 years! This is because he doesn’t want to risk residual pesticides, herbicides, hormones, and antibiotics from animal waste.
Want to see for yourself? You can! Anyone can visit the Young Living farms! So if you want, go and see their methods of growth and testing for yourself. That’s how open they are about their purity! We personally wouldn’t trust any other company when it comes to our families and friends!
“AM I COMMITTED TO ORDER EVERY MONTH?”
Not at all! To keep your membership “active” you need to order once in a 12 month duration. That’s it! You are free to order any time you want! If you begin to repeatedly order OR place multiple large orders, we always recommend joining in the monthly ordering system – Essential Rewards. You save so much more money, get cheaper shipping, and obtain free points back on each order!
“THE STARTER KIT IS TOO EXPENSIVE”
The Premium Starter Kit is actually the best bang for your buck! We’re frugal mamas and we know that saving is important. The Premium Starter Kit is the ONLY thing Young Living has that is HALF OFF! That means you are getting $300+ worth of product – diffuser, 11 oils, other goodies, wholesale membership – for $160! This is why distributors talk about it the most!
