The DL on Young Living Essential Oils - From A to Z

As you all have read in my previous post, I got started on using essential oils for my cluster migraines.  Well as an Independent Consultant for Young Living Essential Oils I hear a lot about personal concerns about your medical history.  Working in the medical field for almost 10 years there is nothing I haven't seen, heard, smelt or had on me so nothing is too graphic for me.  What I am finding is many people (including myself for some) are simply uneducated on what essential oils are.  So I would like to take one or two days a week to hit the alphabet of oils to help us all better understand how Young Living may help you, your family, or someone you know. 
So essential oils are defined in the dictionary as "any of a class of volatile oils obtained from plants, possessing the odor and other characteristic properties of the plant, used chiefly in the manufacture of perfumes, flavors, and pharmaceuticals." 
With YLEO you can inspire a positive emotional state, enhance your physical wellness, purify your home, refine your skin, create deep spiritual awareness, and more.  All of the oils that will be discussed in our series are available for purchase.  Email me for any further questions or information at essentaillyyoullc@gmail.com

Abundance "was created to enhance the frequency of the harmonic magnetic energy field that surrounds us.  This is higher frequency creates what is called the law of attraction, which refers to the things we attract to ourselves.  Abundance opens us to a wealth of possibilities."

Acceptance "stimulates the mind with oils specially blended to promote feelings of accepting others, and ourselves regardless of perceived barriers.  This blend also helps overcome procrastination and denial"

Angelica "has soothing qualities that help relax nerves and muscles.  In Germany, angelica was historically referred to as the oil of angels, in part because of its ability to calm anxiety, restore happy memories, and bring peaceful sleep.  Traditional medicine practitioners used angelica as a stimulant, digestive tonic, and expectorant."

Aroma Life " combines the harmonizing effects of ylang ylang with known powerhouses cypress, helichrysum, and marjoram.  Pulsing with life, this vibrant blend energizes your life force.  It is best applied over heart, front and/or back."


Aroma Siez "is a relaxing blend that is excellent for massaging away life's little discomforts.  Well suited for use after exercise or at the end of a trying day, it also provides soothing comfort for the head, neck, and tired feet."

Australian Blue
Awaken "is a powerful, aromatic essence that unites ancient aboriginal wisdom with today's scientific knowledge about essential oils to uplift and inspire that mind and heart.  This exotic essential oil blend has sweet, earthy undertones responsible for its calming and stabilizing effects."

****Now it's time for my friendly reminder (disclaimer) that in no way am I telling you that using Young Living products or any essential oils out there will cure or heal any disease or ailment.  These are not intended to do such and are used to help those interested in living a healthy, toxin free life.  I personally use all oils that are discussed and more instead of using prescriptions and OTC medications.  This is a personal choice my family and I have made.  I am simply here to help educate and inform you how they can help you and your family too!

Oils under $20.00 for the winter season

I have my "go to" oils that I will always keep on my nightstand (Peppermint, Lavender, Stress Away, and PanAway), in the bathroom (pretty much the same as above but add Bergamot, Patchouli, Lemon, and a few misc blends I have created), and on the go in my purse.  I am always trying to grow my stock to make new blends and creations with them, and these are so affordable that I can just add one at a time each month.   
As the weather is cooling down (well should be...it was almost 90 out today) there are a few underdogs that are offered which are all less than $20.00 and are perfect for the upcoming season. These are just a few I wanted to highlight on tonight's post...

Black Pepper has a pungent yet crisp aroma that is energizing. It is one that is supportive of the digestive system and is useful topically for soothing muscle discomfort following exercise.  It can be mixed with Naked Salve or lotion (one drop per application) to warm your freezing fingers and toes.  Great for the hunter when he comes home, you don't want to send him out with any scent on him, or after shoveling snow or raking the leaves. Black pepper may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods.  It's $18.75 for 5ml!!!!

Clove has a sweet and spicy fragrance that is stimulating and revitalizing. An important ingredient in our Young Living Thieves blend due to its wonderful immune-enhancing properties, its principal constituent is eugenol, which is used in the dental industry to numb the gums. Clove is the highest-scoring single ingredient ever tested for its antioxidant capacity on the ORAC scale. Always dilute for topical use. Clove may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods. It is $15.25 for a 15ml!!!


Cedarwood has a warm and woodsy aroma.  It is relaxing and soothing so it is often used for massage purposes, and has long been used as a beneficial ingredient in cosmetic preparations for oily skin.  Many people use it to help them fall asleep when they don't have Lavender on hand.  It is also one of the key ingredients in most ADHD blends. It is $11.25 for a 15ml!!! (This photo is not my own and I am not affiliated with the website, just thought it was adorable!)


Cypress is especially great to have on hand during the winter season. Its fresh and slightly evergreen aroma is refreshing and restores feelings of security and stability. Many use this in a Christmas Diffusing Blend. Cypress is also beneficial for oily or troubled skin.  It is $19.25 for a 15ml!!!


Eucalyptus Blue has a fresh and invigorating aroma that supports normal breathing and soothes tense muscles. This essential oil is grown and harvested in Ecuador and is an important ingredient in the Young Living Breathe Again™ Roll On. This essential oil contains high levels of the powerful constituents eucalyptol and alpha-pinene. It is $15 for a 5ml!!!
Eucalyptus Globulus has a fresh penetrating scent. It contains a high percentage of the constituent eucalyptol, a key ingredient in many mouth rinses. Applied topically it is often used to support the respiratory system* and to soothe muscles after exercise. It's $14.50 for a 15ml!!!
Eucalyptus Radiata is cooling, refreshing and energizing. Lighter in smell than Eucalyptus globulus, it has many of the same supportive properties . Since it is relatively gentle and nonirritating, it is the preferred choice for children. This variety is one of the most versatile of the eucalyptus oils and is suitable for topical use, diffusing, and even direct inhalation. It has long been an ingredient in some of Young Living's most popular blends. It's $18.50 for a 15ml!!! (Again, not one of my pictures, but this is a site I visit often.  Great info for my fellow oilers!)

Purification can be used directly on the skin to cleanse and soothe insect bites, cuts, and scrapes. When diffused, it helps to purify and cleanse the air from environmental impurities including cigarette smoke and other disagreeable odors.  When we diffuse it before a guest comes over, we are always complimented on the fresh smell of the house.  I also know many who drop a few drops in air vents while traveling to help with hotel room smells. It is $18.75 for a 15ml!!!

Wintergreen has a sweet minty scent which is one of my favorite smells ever. The oil is distilled from the small evergreen herb's leaves. The refreshing, clean taste of wintergreen has made it a favorite in flavoring numerous products. Wintergreen contains the same active ingredient (methyl salicylate) as birch and is beneficial in massage for soothing head tension and muscles after exercising. I use it in my pain cream blend or alone when my knees are acting up. It is $17.75 for a 15ml!!!
