Young Living Essential Oils and Why I LOVE Them!

 

Many of you know that I quit my job as a family doctor 7 years ago because kids were busy and our lives were crazy and I couldn’t manage everything at work and at home.  It was a difficult transition to say the least.  One of the factors that made it easier for me to leave was that I didn’t subscribe to so many things in modern medicine.  When patients would come to me with a list of medications, I always tried to see what could be stopped, what lifestyle modifications could be implemented.  I’ve always had a bent toward more natural remedies even though that’s not how I was trained.  Now all these years later as I’ve kept searching for better ways to stay well,  I find myself a huge fan of the essential oils.  A friend of mine introduced me to Young Living when she visited my house last year.  All it took is using them a few times and I knew I had  stumbled onto something pretty wonderful.  I’m working on a post about how I use them in everyday life, but suffice it to say, they bring so much benefit and are such a wonderful way to promote health and wellness.

I use them all day, everyday.

I’m a huge fan of Young Living supplements and have just gotten through my first winter EVER completely healthy & strong.   I usually struggle with bronchitis and cold sores, but I’ve been able to radically boost my immune system by using essential oils so my body can heal itself. I never want to be without them again!  Since using the oils for myself, I’ve also dramatic results with hormone balance and mood stabilization.  That post is very personal and can be sent to you via email if you’re interested. (ediewadsworth@mac.com)

And I’m not a crazy fanatic though.

As you know, I love cooking and I don’t skimp on good fats and rich foods.  I believe that lifestyle change is difficult and takes time and has to be something you can do over the long haul.  That’s why I still give myself permission to be human.   I exercise regularly, practice spiritual disciplines like prayer and devotions and believe that a balanced, wholistic approach to health is so much better for us over time.  The oils are such a wonderful adjunct to all that, with so many incredible benefits. My physician husband is now a huge fan of the oils as well, which proves it’s hard to remain a skeptic when something works as well as these products do.

They work so well because they’re God’s medicine, the natural byproduct of plant metabolism.  They are tiny molecules that are easily absorbed into the skin and know just what to do once they get there—deliver oxygen and nutrients and remove toxins without the  harmful side effects of so many medications.

And we don’t just have oils.  We have a host of wonderful supplements that are now part of my daily life.  My favorite is Ningxia Red, the sole reason I believe I was able to stop buying the gallon drum of Motrin I needed every month.  It’s a life changer, for sure. Some fun facts:

  • Minerals & vitamins found in NingXia Red act as enzymes and co-factors in the digestion process
  • Studies on seniors in China produced amazing results (many people lived beyond 100 years of age in wolfberry growing areas). Increases in Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) and haemoglobin were found in serum in all participants.
  • Great tasting and sustains energy levels throughout the day
  • Helps lower blood sugar and in many tests stabilises blood sugar.
  • Strengthens the brains neuro-transmitters against pervasive free radical activity, thus fighting against dementia and other forms of memory loss.
  • Promotes a sense of well-being, and has had noticeable results in tests, which reduces stress and anxiety. The tissues of the body (including the brain) are assisted in avoiding oxidative stress.
  •  B-vitamin complex essential to the body.
  • Provides powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial action because it contains solvetivone.
  • Reduces pain caused by inflammation because the berry contains beta-Sitosterol.
  • The NingXia Wolfberry is high in protein (more than whole wheat).

Thieves is probably the oil I use the most in the fall and winter.  Here’s why:

All about Thieves!

Thieves® was created based on research about four thieves in France who covered themselves with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing plague victims. This proprietary essential oil blend was university tested for its cleansing abilities. It is highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health. I can’t tell you enough good stuff about this oil blend.

You also might enjoy Young Living’s Thieves spray, wipes, mouthwash, foaming hand soap, hand purifier and toothpaste.

Just this weekend after missing lots of sleep and traveling, I knew I was about to get a cold sore in my nose. I started using Thieves right away and within 24 hours, my immune system was boosted and keeping me healthy.  That makes me SO HAPPY and excited, to have products that alleviate so many everyday nuisances.

peace-and-calming-257x600

One of my favorite oils is Peace and Calming.  I use it every night before bed (in a diffuser or by rubbing it between my palms and smelling it) and it helps SO much with relaxation and sleep.  I use lavender and frankincense in so many different ways and add a drop of lemon to my water everyday.  I’ve been using Pan-Away on my recovering stress fracture to promote healing and peppermint on my neck and back for stress relief.  There’s so much to continue learning with the oils, but I feel like I’ve hit the jackpot.

As I said, I’ve been using YL essential oils for a year now and I’m in love.  They’ve become a regular part of my life and I’m so excited to share them with you.  I wanted to use them for a good while before I advocated for them here on my online home, but now I just feel like I’m hiding my best kept secret.  (Read more about each oil here!)

So why Young Living and not other brands?

I also used several other essential oil brands before and never had the results I have with Young Living.   I believe in Young Living, their incredible therapeutic-grade essential oils and their purpose to bring wellness and abundance to the world.  I believe in their integrity and desire to provide the best possible 100% therapeutic grade essential oils for their members. I am so thankful to have chosen this essential oil company for our family.

So, here is the real bottom-line:

You can buy the oils retail from my site by clicking here. To buy the oils in the most economical way (this is the way I’ve been using the products for the past year) you can become a “wholesale member.” In return you get the oils at a wholesale discount plus access to other offers. When you sign up, I get a commission {I think it is super important to be clear on that!}. If – and ONLY if – you choose to sign someone else up, you can get a commission. For a whole year, I didn’t try to sign anyone up.  (I don’t recommend waiting that long if you love the oils, but I was kinda busy writing a book!) You never have to sign anyone up or share the oils.  You can simply enjoy the wholesale pricing with zero strings attached. For real. I recommend starting with the Premium kit because you get lots of oils in actual jars, and a diffuser. {see more below}

But here is where Young Living differs from others: There is NO regular purchase commitment! In other words, you don’t have to maintain a certain order amount, and you are not locked into any specific purchase commitment. For me, this was the kicker. Because, when you don’t NEED something, why in the world should you HAVE to buy it? {Of course, you will probably find, like me, that you have a zillion reasons why you need your oils.}

Young Living does offer a monthly order program called Essential Rewards, but this is totally optional. Yay!! I did not do it at first, but now I have actually signed up for ER {Essential Rewards} because I use the oils so regularly and I like that I get a percentage back in product credit as I build my collection of oils.

If you’re interested in joining up to purchase wholesale, click here. 

Want to know more? I hope this Q and A below will help you as you consider whether or not Young Living is right for you:

YOUNG LIVING WHOLESALE MEMBER PRICING FAQ’S

Why Should I Become A Wholesale Member?

This is the way to get your oils at 24% off retail price! Always awesome to get this discount. As you use the oils and you share your testimonials with friends and family, you have the OPTION {100% OPTIONAL!} of earning commissions when others join and purchase Young Living oils. There is NEVER any obligation to buy a certain amount or ever share YL with others. Never!! Win-win!

Is there a monthly order minimum?

No. You can just order what you need when you need it! LOVE THIS!

I just really want to use oils myself. Do I ever have to sell Young Living products?

This is fine! There is NO obligation at all to sell oils when you join as a wholesale member. However, if you ever change your mind, you can jump right in and the sky is the limit. I personally choose to just share it online or with friends who ask me about it first. It is a no-pressure kind of thing, and I will not lie… the monthly check is love.lyyyyy!

Are you sure there are no monthly order requirements?

There is NO, zilch, zero, REQUIREMENT. {<- finally! a company that gets it!!}!  To retain an active ‘wholesale member’ account, you have to place one 50PV {approx. $50} minimum order per year. If you miss that deadline, you can reactivate your account by calling Young Living Customer Care with a 100PV (point volume) order. Sometimes, as a promotion, they even waive this minimum order requirement to reactivate. But again, this is just to keep, what YL calls, “active status.”

If someone wants to join Young Living through me, what do I give them?

When you join, you will be assigned your own ‘wholesale member number’ to give to your friends and family who are interested in joining as well.

Is there a way to save even more money? 

Yes! The Essential Rewards program offers reduced shipping, generous credit for free oils & more!  Plus each month there are great promotions for free oils when you place an Essential Rewards order. I did not do this when I started, but now I do because it works for me! Plus, I love free stuff, and I am getting plenty of it.

What is the catch?

There is none. Period. To be clear, again, I do make a commission from the company when you make your purchase. That motivates me to share, of course, but the main reason I share Young Living oils is because I love them, they work and they have blessed our family. Thank you for enrolling as a ‘wholesale member’ via my links!

How do I get these oils in my hot little hands?

Follow the directions below on how to join!

Ready to join? 

Step by step instructions on how to join Young Living Essential Oils:

1. Click here to begin the enrollment process. It’s super easy!

2. Wholesale Member will already be selected. Again, this is the wholesale membership…with NO strings attached. It is AMAZING!If you select “Retail Customer” you will not receive wholesale pricing, you won’t have access to starter kits and you will pay retail cost which is 24% more than wholesale. Yikes!

3. Make sure my member number {1443424} is in both the Sponsor ID and Enroller ID spots.

4. PLEASE be sure to include your email address. If you don’t, I have no way to invite you to the Oily Family Facebook support group and I can’t support you as you begin your journey with essential oils. I love this FB page and am on there a lot learning more and more everyday how people are using and having success with the oils.

5. Choose the kit you want. {I highly recommend the PREMIUM KIT.} It’s the first kit you see when you are signing up.  Then proceed to check out. You can skip the Essential Rewards part for now unless you would like to join ER right away.

6. That’s it! Your oils will be on their way to your doorstep!

If you have any concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. My email is ediewadsworth@mac.com.

Young Living will never share this info with anyone.}

My forever valentine is pretty handy to have aroun My forever valentine is pretty handy to have around. He’s my favorite hiking partner and an excellent homebody, like me. 😂🥳❤️

Almost exactly 21 years ago today, we ran our first half marathon together in Strawberry Plains.  Right before  the race started , in the front seat of his Honda Accord, he gave me a steroid shot in my foot so I could actually complete the race. Don’t worry, he’s also an excellent podiatrist. The race folks passing by our car didn’t know that though. 😂🕺🏻 

The whole race he kept telling me to keep a steady pace. “You keep running really fast for a while and then slowing way down.” Little did he know that he was witnessing the cautionary tale of life with me. There’s 100 miles a hour and there’s in bed with my biomat.  I don’t have the steady pace gear setting.  Thankfully, he does and keeps me from running myself into the ground. I like to think I keep him entertained with my flashes of crazy woman intensity.  At least that’s what I tell myself. 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

Give me a ❤️ in the comments if you and your honey pie are exact opposites.  Happy love weekend.
As a physician and a long time skeptic of almost a As a physician and a long time skeptic of almost anything “natural,” including my hair color 😂😍, I’m no stranger to doubts and confusion and lackluster results around essential oils. And by the way, nobody thought they were WEIRDER than me:)) I bought my first starter kit so my friend would stop telling me how much I was sure to love the oils.  In other words, so she’d  hush up about oils already. (😂love you forever @fieldstonehill )

Honestly, I thought it was the craziest thing I had ever paid good money for.

And as a certified skeptic who let her kit languish in the recesses of her china cabinet for a year, I hope to dispel a few of the myths that often surround oils so you can feel confident and empowered and EDUCATED to make these little gems part of your mama toolbox. We absolutely have no idea how we would live without them in our house. Just ask Stevie. 

So join me tomorrow for an  awesome online class where I shall bust the myths surrounding these little miracle drops.  Tell your friends, sisters, Momma's and bff's to join us for a fun, informative and jam packed online class!! I'll take you through the 7 Myths About Oils & the Truths that will surprise you ALONG with BONUS CONTENT about which oils you shouldn’t be without for use “after hours”💃🏼💃🏼🕺🏻🕺🏻

“We are above all things loved--that is the good “We are above all things loved--that is the good news of the gospel--and loved not just the way we turn up on Sundays in our best clothes and on our best behavior and with our best feet forward, but loved as we alone know ourselves to be, the weakest and shabbiest of what we are along with the strongest and gladdest. To come together as people who believe that just maybe this gospel is actually true should be to come together like people who have just won the Irish Sweepstakes. It should have us throwing our arms around each other like people who have just discovered that every single man and woman in those pews is not just another familiar or unfamiliar face but is our long-lost brother and our long-lost sister because despite the fact that we have all walked in different gardens and knelt at different graves, we have all, humanly speaking, come from the same place and are heading out into the same blessed mystery that awaits us all. This is the joy that is so apt to be missing, and missing not just from church but from our own lives--the joy of not just managing to believe at least part of the time that it is true that life is holy, but of actually running into that holiness head-on.”
― Frederick Buechner, Secrets in the Dark: A Life in Sermons
2 years ago today, your world shattered into a mil 2 years ago today, your world shattered into a million pieces.

Sometimes I marvel at how we were blessed enough to be there holding you when it all came crashing down. I do know this—I can’t remember my life without you.

I do know that thousands of tears and meals and boo-boos and toy trucks later, we stand in awe of you---your courage, your brave big boy fight, your tender little boy heart, your hilarious old man ways. 

We know how sacred this walk with you is and we don’t take it lightly.

We are here for it all and we couldn’t be more grateful.

We have always loved you and you have always been our special gift.

 Love you little one. Let’s keep listening for Aslan. He will find a way to put everything back together. 

“Herein lies the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Do not be afraid.”
