WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS
Essential oils have also been used for thousands of years for cosmetic purposes, as well as for their spiritually and emotionally uplifting properties.
Primarily extracted through careful steam distillation but also through cold pressing, the purest essential oils are far more powerful than the botanicals from which they were extracted. Young Living uses the Seed to Seal process to ensure that you are receiving essential oils exactly the way nature intended. Any time you hold a bottle of our powerful essential oils, you are holding the pure essence of health-promoting botanicals that can be diffused, inhaled, applied topically, incorporated into massage or taken internally to:
-
Inspire a positive emotional state
-
Enhance your physical wellness
-
Purify your home
-
Refine your skin
-
Create deep spiritual awareness
