Welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found our blog 🙂 I’ve written some info below on how our family got started using essential oils on a regular basis and what we have learned a long the way! If you are not using essential oils yet or are just using over the counter oils I HIGHLY recommend you do some research on the benefits and differences in the essential oils themselves and the company’s level of quality that you are purchasing them from.
I was first introduced to essential oils in massage therapy school in 2003 but did not grasp at the time that with the right kind of pure, therapeutic oil they could be of much more value than just a good foo foo aroma. I started using them here and there to see how well they worked and particularly after we had kids as I was looking for things without toxic chemicals that we could use on ourselves and around the house that didn’t cost a lot of money. I sampled and researched multiple different oils, their companies and their methods and finally settled on a certain brand but wait until you see the WHY.
1. Longest Track Record and Highest Standards.
Young Living oils have been around since 1993, 20+ years, and were one of the first companies to really zone in on providing a high quality 100% purely therapeutic oil without fillers, synthetics and additives ect. Many companies claim this but it often means that 5% of the oil in them is pure. That doesn’t keep them from having 95% filler. Up until this year I had used and tried many other oils here and there which had not worked nearly as well and I don’t even want to think about how much money I wasted on them.
Essential Oil Company Comparison Chart
Young Living has their own farms on almost every continent and they’ve taken it to the next level by growing, harvesting, distilling, testing and bottling all their oils. They do not purchase or rebottle their oils from other sources as other companies do. They even make their own herbicide for the plants with a mixture of their essential oils and castile soap.
2. Largest Selection, Highest Quality.
They have the largest and best selection of oils from singles to blends than any other oil company I’ve tried. Whatever I’ve needed an oil for whether it be occasional acne, sleeplessness, afterbirth pains, boosting our immune system…I could keep going but they have had an oil for it. They have over 150 oils and many, many other products to help with nutrition and detoxing your home and body.
3. Membership Discount.
I love getting discounts! We have a Costco membership which has saved us tons of money on the whole and organic foods I buy for our family, not to mention the cash back I get at the end of the year that pays for our membership. We get a similar thing with our essential oil membership. Members receive 24% off the retail price and you only need to spend $50 in a year to keep your membership active. Also if you spend a certain amount in a transaction you receive extra oils and points towards products for free!
So like I was saying at the beginning, if I was going to pick an oil company for our family to use it had to be the best, most effective, least expensive ones I could find before spending our hard earned cash on them and it was Young Living by far that blew the others out of the water in terms of company standards, cost, effectiveness and money saved.
Here’s a few options if you are considering using oils for your family.
1. If you want to try 1 or 2 oils feel free to send me an email kneadedhealth@yahoo and I’ll let you order them using my member discount.
2. Sign up for your own wholesale membership
Premium Starter Kit Starting at $160
This is the one I purchased and definitely the best deal for the price. Along with the membership discount you get to choose between four different diffusers, some supplies to help you get started and 11 bottles of oil with 80 drops in each bottle. We use the oils in this kit on a regular basis for things including help with occasional sleeplessness and lifting the mood, boosting the immune system, booboos and so on. The list is endless. If you were to buy all of the things that come in this kit separately it would cost close to $300!
You can click any of the above kits to link you to the sign up page to choose and purchase your own kit. If you sign up for the Premium Starter Kit I will use my referral commission to buy you a Wellness Kit with some tools to help you get started including some great reference materials of your very own to know how to use all of your oils! I’ll also add you to a private FB group for members I am part of that has been a huge support for us when we’ve had questions about using our oils or just want to see what other people are using them for.
We have absolutely LOVED our experience with Young Living essential oils and want to make sure you have the best experience as well!
