There are three ways most people use YL oils…

Topical

Many people use Young Living oils topically (on your skin) to take advantage of the benefits of the oils. You can choose to apply the oils “neat” (without a carrier oil), or with a carrier oil.*Special note: in almost every case essential oils should be diluted when using on children’s sensitive skin. And even some adults prefer to dilute.

So you want to use your oils topically, but where do you start?

Here are a few methods for topical use:

  • Directly from the bottle (1 drop can cover every cell in your body 1,000s of times over!)

  • In a roller bottle with carrier oil

  • In a spray bottle

  • In an Epsom salt bath

  • In your DIY lotion, skin care, or beauty products

  • Massage – Young Living has a line of massage oils already infused with YLEOs!

Aromatic

Ditch candles and air fresheners, and use your new Young Living diffuser! The fragrance of an essential oil can directly affect everything from your emotional state to your physical well-being. Aromatic use of essential oils is a great way to experience the benefits of essential oils.

Here are some tips for aromatic use:

  • Place a drop in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together, and inhale.

  • Smell the oil directly out of the bottle.

  • Diffuse the essential oil so the whole family can benefit from just a few drops. YL has a wide variety of diffusers to choose from and as a wholesale member you get to choose one of four diffusers in your Premium Starter Kit.

Ingestion

Many people choose to use essential oils internally. So many wellness benefits come from ingesting essential oils!!

  • Add an oil to water or liquid.

    • Try making your own Thieves tea! Hot water + 2 drops of Thieves Vitality* + 2 drops of lemon & a teaspoon of local honey = soothing, yummy tea! 

  • Place oils in a capsule.

    • Looking for a healthy body weight? Lemon, Peppermint, & Grapefruit oils are a great combination of detoxifying (lemon), appetite suppressing (peppermint), & metabolism supporting (grapefruit) oils. So try adding 3 drops of each into a capsule & topping it off with carrier oil. Take 1x daily, & be sure to increase your water intake! 

*Young Living has a Vitality line of oils that are intended for internal use.

**We cannot recommend ingesting any other brand of EO besides Young Living. We trust that Young Living’s Vitality line of oils are the most effective and safe on the market.
