I have shared what lead me to become a paramedic. I have shared what the biggest blessings are that I have found with helping those less fortunate. I have not shared why I love essential oils (EO) or why I chose the brand I prefer. My journey with EO started in February of 2016.
I have Crohn’s disease and a gluten allergy. The first thing that drew me to the multilevel marketing (MLM) companies was not the oils but their other products. Both of the major MLM EO companies offer digestive enzymes. What? I can take a couple capsules of naturally occurring enzymes and feel better? I researched and tried several brands, a lot of which only offered oils and only sold online. I took classes and made a lot of DIY products. From personal experience and the benefits I found for my family, I chose Young Living.
So why Young Living and why essential oils? Young Living has much more than just oils. They have enzymes AND many other supplements. They have a TON of oils. They also have many other products. Slowly over the last year I have replaced most of our household products. The average household has 67 toxic products. The average woman is exposed to over 300 toxic chemicals from the time she wakes up to the time she leaves the house. Body wash, shampoo, makeup, toothpaste, even deodorant all contain a lot of toxins. Think of the shower. It’s warm and your pores are open. Everything you put on your body gets inside your pores. It’s no wonder chronic and life limiting diseases are on the rise. It takes 22 seconds for EO to reach your brain when inhaled. It takes 2 minutes for EO to reach your bloodstream why applied to the skin. Within 20 minutes the molecules in the EO reach every cell in your body. What do you want inside your cells?
