Essential oils have been treasured for centuries, celebrated for their ability to enhance both physical and emotional well-being. These potent plant extracts, derived from nature’s aromatic compounds, offer remarkable benefits that can transform your daily life in subtle yet powerful ways. But not all essential oils are created equal—and that’s exactly what I discovered when I first tried Young Living.
My journey with Young Living began with a bottle of their blend Peace & Calming. As a massage therapist, I was intrigued when a vendor recommended adding essential oils to my new fountain. The name itself—Peace & Calming—seemed like the perfect choice to create a serene space for my clients.
But after purchasing the bottle, I felt a pang of buyer’s remorse. I’d spent over $35 on a tiny bottle of oil! I thought, "Why didn’t I just grab something for $10 at the grocery store?" Ten days later, that doubt disappeared.
During a massage class on aromatherapy, our instructor—coincidentally the same person I’d bought that first bottle from—demonstrated the power of essential oils. One of my classmates arrived upset and angry, her energy tense and agitated. The instructor placed a single drop of Peace & Calming in her hand, and within moments of inhaling the scent, her entire demeanor shifted. It was a transformation I couldn’t ignore. That’s when I realized this wasn’t just another oil; it was something special.
