Want to try essential oils but don't know where to begin? Well, this is an area where a little time & research pays off. Not all essential oils are created alike, and you may start to wonder why you are not receiving all the benefits that your seller's oil promised you when you purchased it.

Essential oils are the liquids that are distilled from plants, and their chemical components determine their therapeutic value.  Most of the essential oils produced today are sold to the perfume industry, and these oils have been subjected to high pressure & temperatures during  rapid processing using chemical solvents. Therefore, even though they may smell good, they lack the necessary chemical components to produce the desired therapeutic results.

Essential oils can be very beneficial in alleviating an individual's symptoms that may have not previously responded to traditional medicine. However, the knowledgable consumer will look for therapeutic grade oils, those that have not been subjected to a rapid and inferior distillation process, in order to obtain the best results possible. Young Living essential oils are therapeutic grade, and their enormous following is a tribute to their effectiveness.
