Essential Oils are concentrated essences of various flowers, fruits, herbs, grasses, plants and trees. They have remarkable, complex properties and are appropriate for use in just about every area of life. The Young Living Essential Oils^TM Company produces some of the purest essential oils and aromatherapy products in the world. We take great pleasure in offering these delightful, remarkably effective products for your health, personal care and environmental clearing.

Essential oils are concentrated plant essences extracted, usually through distillation, from certain species of flowers, grasses, fruits, petals, leaves, needles, roots, bark and trees.  They are  subtle, volatile liquids. These substances are indispensable to medicine and to the food and cosmetic industries. There are at this time about 300 essential oils, with uses spanning every possibility. Thousands of chemical constituents and aromatic molecules have been identified and registered. These aromatic substances and compounds within the oils will alter and change based on weather conditions, climate, temperatures and distillation factors. Preparing top-level essential oils is a complex task.

Many of these oils are the active ingredients in drugs prescribed by the allopathic, Western system of medicine, or are the inspiration for chemical copies. In food and drink, essential oils are used to give natural flavor and aroma, and are also used as preservatives. Manufacturers of cosmetics appreciate and use them for their cell-rejuvenating and beautifying properties, while the fragrance industry emphasizes their delightful aroma and their mood and emotion-enhancing capacities. Essential oils are ancient and powerful, their use traced back thousands of years to Egypt, China, India, Greece and other parts of the world. Essential oils are surprising, delightful, uplifting, effective and affirming. Once you begin to use essential oils and learn how to properly use them, you will no doubt continue. They feel life-supporting, vital, alive, engaged on the level of energy.Liquid is a most effective, convenient medium.  A few drops of pure lavender oil wiped on a burn effects the most remarkable cure as the skin returns to normal within days, whereas without it there would be a blistering patch and, eventually, a scar. When you have a headache you can rub a drop on your temples for relief.  Lavender is a natural deterrent of mosquitoes and moths, it can easily be dabbed on a ribbon and hung at the window, or put on a cotton ball and placed in the closet or drawer. The natural antiseptic qualities of lavender oil makes it a highly effective wash for cuts and grazes (for you and your pets), and also for tables, tiles and refrigerators. The fact that it smells wonderful makes it delightful as well as versatile and useful.One of the must useful condensed descriptions of essential oils that I have read is Valerie Ann Worwood's introduction in her book, The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy. She says:

Essential oils are one of the great untapped resources of the world.  The concentrated essences of various flowers, fruits, herbs, and plants have been used for centuries all over the world, but in modern times we have forgotten the power of these ancient medicines of the earth, preferring instead to use the products of perfume and chemical companies which imitate the natural fragrances and medicinal and cleansing properties of essential oils.  Because the essential oils are so sweet-smelling, many people suppose their value is essentially one of charm and fragrance - but this is a mistake.  Modern scientific research has proven that essential oils are potent, with remarkable medicinal properties. These substances are very complex is their molecular structure, and very powerful.  The essential oil of oregano, for example, is twenty-six times more powerful as an antiseptic than phenol, which is the active ingredient in many commercial cleansing materials.
   Unlike chemical drugs, essential oils do not remain in the body,  they leave no toxins behind, and essential oils make much more sense as air fresheners than commercial products, as they cleanse the air by altering the structure of the molecules creating the smells, rather than masking the unwanted smells. When we are looking for alternatives to toxic products in our homes and in our lives, essential oils are a convenient, practical, and pleasant solution." (from the Forward)

To be fully effective, essential oils must come from plants grown in fertile soil without chemical interference of any kind. They must be harvested at just the right time and processed in a timely fashion without chemical intervention. The oils must not be adulterated in any way.  Appreciation of the living nature of the source plants need be conscious;  processing and handling must be competent. The products must be pure, and complete or balanced. We believe that we offer products so derived, so constituted. Try them.
