Essential Oils 101 Video!

I've been slacking, I'll admit it! It's been way too long since I've blogged. I decided today to take a break from the "what's in the bag" segment. I wanted to do a quick intro to oils class for people that are interested in what oils are, what they do and how to use them. In this video I explain the oils that come in the starter kit!

Please excuse the "ums" I'll work on that for next time :)

Also, I feel I could have done a better job of explaining why YL oils are different.
-Most essential oils on the market (like 95%) are 'perfume' oils. They don't have any medicinal s purposes. Young living oils do have medicinal properties. It's guaranteed through the Seed to Seal process (See why young living blog).
-They should be kept in a dark bottle. You'll notice the YL bottles are dark.
-YL oils are labeled and have a dietary supplement label.
-They should have no expiration date
-If it says should always be diluted or should not be taken internally--they're not therapeutic grade! .
-The Latin name should always be used. There's over 50 different strains of lavender, but only 2 have medicinal purposes. If you know the Latin name you know it's legit.
All of the essential oils I've seen at WholeFoods and other health food stores do not meet these standards

So enjoy, if you're new to oils or thinking about them I hope this helps! Here's a great visual about all the things the oils in the kit can do.
