Introduction
At one point, I didn't really understand what essential oils were. I knew that they
were liquids that smelled good and were used for massages and to support
health. But how they did these things, I didn't know. And, well, I didn't care.
It wasn't until I started pursuing natural, healthful living that essential oils piqued
my interest. I found them popping up in recipes for home remedies, cleaning
supplies, and skincare products. This spurred my extensive research into action.
My research spanned about a year and a half. I diligently scoured the internet and
books for trustworthy sources of information from well-educated people. I
impaled these sources with my plethora of questions. Questions like: What are
essential oils? How are they made? Where do they come from? How are they
used? What do they do? Are they pure and top quality?
By the time 2014 came around, I had a pretty good idea of the whos, whats,
wheres, whys, and hows. And I had finally settled upon the brand that I wanted
to purchase from.
You guessed it. That brand was Young Living. After all of my research, this was
the brand I finally chose. There was a lot of reasons that went into my choosing
this specific brand, but here are a few of the top:
1 Young Living has a unique and meticulous Seed to Seal quality

process. I won't go into detail on this process here {you can learn all about
it here}, but this process ensures top quality essential oils from the moment
seeds are planted into the ground to the moment a seal is placed on the bottle of
the completed product.
2 Every batch of Young Living oils undergoes rigorous in-house and

third party testing. Mass spectrometry
and gas chromatography don't really mean a
whole lot to me, but they sure do to my
husband. He's an engineer and actually
worked as a gas chromatographer right out
of college. But he tells me that these are
rigorous purity tests. Young Living has every
batch of their oils tested both in-house and
by third party labs to double ensure that
their oils are pure.
3
3 Young Living cares how their plants are grown. Young Living cares so
much about quality that they commit to growing a lot of their own plants via
their own farms. The oils that they do outsource come from carefully selected
farms that they personally regulate to ensure consistent quality across the board.
You can visit Young Living's farms. Want to see the Seed to Seal quality
4 process with your own eyes? Or even participate? Visit one of Young Living's
globally located farms and watch their distillation process for yourself. I deeply
appreciate this open-book honesty.
5 Young Living's oils are the purest available. Their essential oils are free
from adulterants, fillers, chemicals, and impurities. They are highly
concentrated and authentically pure. Plus they are considered therapeutic grade,
which means they are completely safe for human usage.
Young Living boasts the most experience. Founder D. Gary Young, a

6 Christian, began researching essential oils after using them to overcome a
serious injury that nearly cost him his life in his early adult years. His goal was to
provide authentically pure essential oils to the general public to encourage better
health and enrich lives. As a result, in 1994, Mr. Young founded Young Living. This
gives Young Living the industry leading edge of over 20 years experience.
Young Living carries the largest selection of oils and products. This is
7 the least important reason, but if I'm going to stick to a specific brand, I like
that it has a wide variety of oils and products to choose from. This prevents me
from having to “hop” to different distributors or brands, plus it just makes it
cheaper {only one order, only one shipping charge, etc.}.

Essential Oils Defined

Essential oils are a mysterious substance to those unfamiliar with them. For
many, the word “essential oil” brings to mind something used for fragrance {such
as to apply topically kind of like a perfume or to make a room smell lovely}.
Before I began researching them, I understood that essential oils were used for
health purposes, but I didn't know which ones did what or how they were used
{basically, I was clueless}. Well, both the fragrance and health ideas are true, but
essential oils are much more than just these!
Put broadly, essential oils are volatile fluids that have been extracted from
various plant components including the flower, leaves, stem, and root.
Essential oils have a fairly vast spectrum of uses. They can be used for health
supplementation, immunity support, flavor enhancement, cosmetic application, or
even cleaning supplies.
Essential oils are incredibly effective because they have a lipid form and thus
absorb readily into the body's cells.

Essential Oil Lingo

When you are new to the world of essential oils, some of the terminology used
can leave your head feeling like it's spinning! So to help you get a little more
oriented, here are some common essential oil terms {including Young Living
specific ones} and their definitions.
• Absolute. Some oils that are more delicate, such as rose essential oil, are
dubbed absolute because they cannot be steam extracted.
• Adulterated. A term that refers to low-quality essential oils that have been
made impure by the addition of inferior ingredients.
• Aromatic. This refers to oils that can be used aromatically, or inhaled.
• Capsule. An empty pill capsule that can be filled with a mixture of essential
oil and carrier oil for easier internal use.
• Carrier Oil. A neutral vegetable oil such as olive, coconut, or almond that
is used to dilute an essential oil.
• Diffuse. To disperse an essential oil into the air {usually along with water}.
• Diffuser. An appliance used to diffuse essential oils and water into the air.
• Dilute. To make an essential oil thinner or weaker such as by adding a
carrier oil.
• Distillation. A process in which essential oils are extracted using heat and
sometimes pressure. When done correctly, the oil's beneficial properties
remain intact. Young Living uses a gentle steam distillation process and an
equally as gentle cold pressing for most of their oils.
• EO. An acronym for essential oil.
• ER. An acronym for Essential Rewards.
• Essential Oil. Often shortened to EO. Essential oils are potent oils that
have been extracted from various plant components including the flower,
leaves, stem, or root.
• Essential Rewards. Often shortened to ER. These are reward points
earned by making Young Living product purchases that can be applied to
future purchases to save money. Learn more in the Essential Rewards
section of this book.
• Expression. The removal of an essential oil from the plant component.
Forms of expression include distillation, machine abrasion, and solvent
extraction.
• Internal. This refers to oils that can be taken internally, or eaten.
• Neat. This term applies to the use of an essential oil straight, as in without
any dilution. Usually used in reference to applying an oil topically.
• Orifice Reducer. This is the piece on the top of an essential oil bottle that
gives you more control over how many drops are used.
6
• Personal Volume. Often shortened to PV. This is a term used to place

point value on Young Living products to use for Essential Rewards.
• Photosensitive. Also phototoxic. This refers to oils that, when applied
topically, have an adverse reaction when soon exposed to sunlight. Such
reactions can consist of temporary skin discoloration or sensitivity to getting
a sunburn. Lemon and Purification are photosensitive. To prevent this, don't
apply photosensitive oils to the skin prior to spending time in the sun.
• Phototoxic. See Photosensitive.
• PV. An acronym for Personal Volume.
• Therapeutic Grade. This refers to essential oils that are pure and of high
quality, therefore making them suitable to be used aromatically, internally,
or topically. Please note that since the FDA does not currently have such
specific regulations for essential oils, many companies abuse this term, and,
technically, it's pretty much made up.
• Topical. This refers to oils that can be used topically, or on the skin.
• Young Living. A company that sells the largest collection of the purest
essential oils available on the market.
• YL. An acronym for Young Living.

The Vitality™ Variance

Something you may notice about Young Living's essential oils is that there are
doubles of some of the oils—such as Lavender, Lemon, DiGize™, and so on. Some
of these oils come in a bottle with a colorful label while the duplicate comes in a
bottle with a white label and the word “Vitality™” tacked on the end.
So, what's the difference between the regular essential oils and the
Vitality™ ones? In truth—nothing. The oil in both bottles is exactly the same.
Now why do the Vitality™ oils have a different label? Well, this is simply to
indicate that that particular oil can be used internally or as a dietary supplement.
The reason behind this semi-confusing labeling method lies in the fact that Young
Living must abide by certain government regulations. In this case, the
regulation states that a bottle of oil must be labeled for external OR
internal use—it can't be labeled for both.
But since Young Living's top notch oils CAN be used for both internal and external
purposes, Young Living started bottling them differently. So there's a white bottle
to use for internal reasons and a colorful bottle to use for external {inhalation and
topical} reasons. But remember...the oils in both kinds of bottle are the
same {for example, Lavender and Lavender Vitality™ oil are the exact same oil,
just different labels}.

essential oils.

Essential Oils in the Kitchen

All of the oils that have a Vitality™ variety can be taken internally, or eaten. One
way of doing this is by adding it to food. Essential oils are potent so, when
adding them to food, you need to take care that you do NOT overdo it. This
can ruin a dish or even make you sick if you eat too much of one oil.
Here's a basic substitution reference when using herbs, extracts/flavorings, or

zest:
Essential Oil Substitutions

¼ tsp. powdered herbs 1 drop essential oil
½ tsp. dried herbs 1 drop essential oil
1½ tsp. fresh herbs 1 drop essential oil
1 tsp. extract or flavoring 16 drops essential oil {⅛ tsp.}
1 tbsp. zest 8 drops essential oil
Currently, the following are the Vitality™ oils that are good for using in food:
• Basil Vitality™ • Lavender Vitality™

• Bergamot Vitality™ • Lemon Vitality™
• Black Pepper Vitality™ • Lemongrass Vitality™
• Carrot Seed Vitality™ • Lime Vitality™
• Celery Seed Vitality™ • Orange Vitality™
• Cinnamon Bark Vitality™ • Oregano Vitality™
• Citrus Fresh Vitality™ • Peppermint Vitality™
• Clove Vitality™ • Rosemary Vitality™
• Dill Vitality™ • Spearmint Vitality™
• Ginger Vitality™ • Tangerine Vitality™
• Grapefruit Vitality™ • Thieves Vitality™
• Jade Lemon Vitality™ • Thyme Vitality™

10
Getting a Drop from the Bottle

To get a drop from an essential oil bottle, remove the cap {obviously} and tilt the
bottle at a 45° angle over your hand, diffuser opening, capsule, bowl, or whatever
you're dripping it onto or into. Holding it at this angle helps you to better control
how many drops escape the bottle so you can prevent any waste.
When pouring from the bottle, keep in mind that the large, obvious hole in the
center is actually an air vent. The oil commences from a much smaller, square-
shaped hole located in the well on top of the bottle.
FACT: The insert in the

opening of an essential oil
bottle is called an orifice
reducer.
11
Important Dos and Don'ts

Below are some important things to do and to not do to use essential oils safely.
• DO make sure a Young Living essential oil is meant to be used a certain way
{aromatically, internally, or topically} before using it that way. Each bottle clearly
communicates this. Read each oil's label completely before using.
• DO use glass, high quality ceramic, or essential oil grade plastic containers
{bowls, cups, etc.} or utensils with your essential oils. Plastic, styrofoam, or
other materials can melt from or leach into the oil.
• DO let the droplets fall from 6 inches or more above your hand or whatever
you're dropping them into. This is so you can clearly see how many drops are
pouring.
• DO tilt the bottle at a 45° angle to prevent too many drops from escaping.
• DO test an area of your skin when using a new oil to make sure you're not
sensitive to it.
• DO keep a bottle of carrier oil {such as olive oil} handy to wash oil off of skin or
out of the eyes or ear. Water DOES NOT help to wash away oil {in fact, it can
make it spread worse}; only
carrier oil does.
• DO NOT use metal, plastic, or
styrofoam containers or utensils
with essential oils. Some metals
react with certain essential oils
and plastic and styrofoam melt
and/or leach when they come in
contact with essential oils.
• DO NOT touch the nozzle on
the bottle to prevent dirt or
other contaminants from getting
into the oil.
• DO NOT expose the oils to
sunlight as this can reduce their
effectiveness.
• DO NOT store near cell
phones or other devices with a
high electromagnetic inter-
ference.
• DO NOT let any essential oil
get into or onto your eyes, ear
canals, or genitals.
12
