FAQ

frequently asked questions about Young Living, oils, and all things related!

  • Essential oils are a highly concentrated version of the natural oils in plants.

    They are obtained by a distilling process that involves every part of the plant, including roots, leaves, stems, flowers, and bark, resulting in an oil containing the fragrance and healing properties of the plant. You can think of the oil as a plant's immune system; it is the life-blood of the plant! 

  • For just about everything!!

    Whether you are looking for oils to help you sleep, for natural immune system support, for energy, for focus, for relaxation, for your kids, for natural alternatives to cleaning products, the list is endless, there is an oil for that!! And you will learn along the way, there’s not a hard set rules.

    Essential oils can provide support to every system of our bodies, including hormones, nervous system, and metabolism. It only takes 2 minutes for oil molecules to hit the bloodstream, and only 20 minutes to affect every cell in your body!

  • The reason I choose Young Living for essential oils is that they have an unmatched Seed to Seal process to guarantee the purity & potency of every oil.

    Each batch of oils is rigorously tested for therapeutic viability & they are so confident in their products that you can actually visit the farms & participate in the harvest/distillation process (no other company owns their farms).

    They are so transparent as a company; their honesty is one of the first things that drew me in and what inspired me to become a brand partner. Their mission and their product value is what has lead me to prefer them over other brands.

  • There are so many ways to use oils.

    You can diffuse them, which is great for making your house smell good, helping your babies or kids relax at night for bed, getting rid of unwanted odors in the house & more.

    You can apply topically (some require a carrier oil like coconut oil, you’ll learn all about that later!), you can make rollerball combos, creams, sprays, and just about anything!!

    Young Living also has a tested line of oils safe for consumption (please follow the instructions on this), called their Vitality line. These are mostly used for supplementation and culinary purposes. This method isn’t for everyone, so make sure you do your research and always do what you are comfortable with!

  • Don’t worry, I’ve got you!

    You’ll get plenty of reading material with your oils when you order, but you’ll also get access to exclusive facebook groups full of amazing resources like how to use each oil, which oils to avoid around kids or while pregnant/nursing, and all of the dilution ratios for individual oils.

    We have classes, books, live facebook and zoom hangouts & search functionality that will help you navigate through any questions you might have. I strongly believe in properly educating yourself and trusting your intuition, so this is what I encourage others to do!

  • A premium starter kit, which comes with 12 of the most commonly used oils + your diffuser (I recommend the Desert Mist or the Aria to start out), is the best value & provides you with everything you need to get started. You’ll get over $300 worth of product for only $165.

  • Nope! Your kit or first order can just be a one time purchase. If you order 100 PV you’ll unlock the 24% discount, which stays active for a year. Another way to unlock this discount is to add your products to Loyalty Rewards.

    Loyalty Rewards is Young Living’s rewards program, and there are a lot of perks to it! It’s a fully customizable monthly subscription box. You add products of your choice to loyalty rewards every month and they ship them straight to your door. You can edit the processing date, skip, or cancel anytime, and the only requirement is spending 50 PV minimum per month.

    Once you add products to Loyalty Rewards, you unlock the 24% discount and it stays active as long as you have any item on subscription. You also earn a percentage back on every single order, which turns into points you can use as store credits! It starts out at 10% back and eventually increases to 25% back on every order.

    You also get free products every month with your order! This is how I get a large portion of my oils and products for free. It is totally optional but there are so many reasons to love Loyalty Rewards.

  • No! No annual or monthly fees unless you are signed up for the rewards program!

  • No you do not! Frankly, selling essential oils isn’t for everyone, despite what many companies may say. It can be a huge plus for some people who want to sell, but for those that don’t want to sell it is completely optional.

    If you are interested in selling, you can make 50% back on orders made through your link (more affiliate based), as well as receive residual income monthly (becoming a brand partner). Those are both great options that I discuss more here.

  • Both companies make very high quality essential oils. Young Living however, has been in business longer (YL founded in 1993, and DoTerra in 2008), which not only means that Young Living has a better established track record of quality, but they also offer a much broader range of products. Additionally, only Young Living is committed to quality and control from "seed to seal." For a great article comparing the two companies, check out this comparison. 

  • Rollers are a great way to apply oils topically. Don't be intimidated, it's fun and easy to make your own rollers of all your favorite oil blends! If you’re still new to making rollers and have questions, contact me for more assistance.

    I also sell roller blends if you’re looking for targeted help or convenience!

  • Essential oil diffusers are a super easy way to use oils aromatically for therapeutic use, and to make your house smell great! It’s one of the best ways to get oils around/in your body! I have at least one diffuser in every room of our house!

    Our olfactory sense is super strong, and our limbic system is one of the best ways to support the nervous system. Basically, the sense of smell can help our mental and emotional health far more than most people realize. Utilizing aromatherapy can be really beneficial, especially when your nervous system needs extra support.
