WHY Young Living? My Top 5 Reasons!

Hello Oily Followers!


I wanted to address one of my MOST frequently asked questions I've gotten being in this business. Especially, this day & age when there is never ONE company that does something.. there are multiple on multiple! So I figured what better way to start out this blog than by explaining WHY I chose Young Living over any of the several other oil companies out there! Let's jump right into it!


Reason Numero UNO: This is probably the most important reason. It's something no other oil company has. Drum roll please..... Seed to Seal Guarantee!

This guarantee ensures the quality, purity & concentration of the essential oils is nothing less than the absolute best. This promises that we NEVER alter, add, or dilute ANY of our oils.. EVER! Because of this guarantee OUR OILS ARE SAFE TO INGEST. Well, I should say most of them, there are some plants out there that are just not made to be consumed. But as for our citrus oils, peppermint, nutmeg & oils such as those, they are absolutely able to be taken internally! *NOT ALL ESSENTIAL OIL COMPANIES OILS ARE INGESTIBLE* Our crops are grown on chemical free land & carefully nourished soil. One of my favorite facts to share is, even the worm food that they use to grow our crops is organic! I don't know about you, but I prefer KNOWING what I am putting into my body & feeling confident in giving them to my friends & family to use as well.


Reason #2: I am going to risk sounding completely lame. Our labels! Not only because it has any info you could be wanting on that oil as far as directions, size, oil grade but I think the cool part is the Batch Numbers. Batch numbers are included on each bottle of oil. It can track back to what batch that specific bottle of oil was bottled from! WHOA! This will lead into reason number three.. but Young Living is able to do that because...

Reason #3: Young Living owns ALL of its farms. Our crops are never outsourced by third party farms. Young Living has farms all over the world! Crops are grown where they naturally flourish & are never created in some lab. For this reason some times there is limited stock of a certain oil or some times one will be sold out. Yes, SOLD OUT. Instead of panicking & rushing to find sub par crops or turning to chemicals to create something synthetic to fulfill our oil orders those oils are simply out of stock until our crop CAN be correctly harvested to produce our standard of oils. Our farm locations include: Canada, Mexico, , Ecuador, United Kingdom, Peru, France, Israel, Oman, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, China & Australia! In fact, several of these farms you can make trips to visit & be apart of the distillation process! I think that is pretty special & unique! The picture below is part of our Lavender field in Whispering Springs farm in Mona, Utah.

Reason #4: Our oils are therapeutic grade. The highest grade you can get. Yes, therapeutic grade is a thing. Young Living oils are even so natural they are recommended by integrative health professional all over the world. Our oils are even exclusively used in over 50 hospitals through out the country! INCLUDING our very own IU Goshen Health Hospital!

Reason #5: Young Living was founded By D. Gary Young in 1993. That's over 20 years of knowledge & growth. So for those just getting into essential oils. It's not a new idea or fad by any means! This year I went to the Young Living Grand Convention in Grapevine, TX. Man, did I learn A LOT about this company that I was so unaware of & made me that much more proud that I chose this company. I had it in my head that Young Living was this big corporate company so our founder couldn't possibly have time to have a hand in most of the doings going on. No way he would be out there building our new distilleries. No way he could still creating these oil blends everyone loves. WRONG! Gary personally walked us through his process for creating an oil blend recipe. He explained to us why we have Einkorn Wheat flour, spaghetti & waffle mix offered through Young Living & its importance over the regular wheat commonly used in many products at the grocery store. He showed us pictures from not just recently but back in the very beginning of him & a few of his closest friends building some of our first distilleries from the ground up. No big construction companies in sight. He showed us personal pictures from everything including the good times from first distillations at a new distillery alllllll the way to the bad times of  machinery falling off trailers in blizzard conditions, not making it through winding country roads. It was a complete eye opener. His passion for this company was infectious to say the least!

Welp, there you have it! My Top 5 reasons! For the sake of this blog not being a full on novel, I am leaving it at my Top 5! I didn't even get to touch on the actual benefits & basic ways our oils can actually be used. I suppose you will just have to come back for those! Mwahahaha!

In the mean time I would love if you "Liked" my Facebook Page, Ash's Oily Essentials! This blog & that page will go hand in hand like peanut butter & jelly! Or in the oil world like Purification & Thieves. Lemon & Peppermint. Ah you get it!

Peace & Oily Love.
