Let’s talk about essential oil safety this
month, and let’s start with the most important guideline: only use essential
oils and blends of the purest and highest quality. For me, this means Young
Living and Young Living only. YL is truly the world leader for essential oils,
blends and products, and there are many reasons for this distinction. The most
important “resource” is Dr. Gary Young, the founder of
the company, followed by the company’s worldwide network of farms (including
co-op and partner farms) and qualified vendors. Every step of the way Young
Living adheres to strict standards and extensive testing, both in house and
with external labs. Check out the “Seed to Seal” process here.
I feel confident using YL products on
myself and my clients. You can use them aromatically (inhalation), topically
(on the skin) and internally (in a vegetable capsule, added to water/beverage,
or when cooking).
When using on your skin, if you
experience any irritation, DO NOT try to wash off! Just dilute the area with YL
V-6 EnhancedVegetable Oil Complex
or any pure vegetable/olive oil you have around the house. Also note that, for
some people, citrus-based oils and blends may cause photosensitivity to the sun
for a while after applying.
For internal use, Young Living is the
only company I know of with an extensive dietary line of essential oils with
FDA approval, called “Vitality.” If in doubt,
check the product label for usage directions for any of their products.
Do you have other questions? Contact me
or let’s set up a fun party for you and some friends to further explore the
world of essential oils!
