Why our family chose Young Living? watch this first

This is a topic of great interest and I get this question all the time! Why did we choose Young Living? How does Young Living compare to other companies? Etc. While I address a lot of these questions in the attached video, I do want to preface all of this with my heart on the issue of “other companies”. I do not believe in building my business while taking another down. What I mean is, I will never talk “trash” about another company to get a sale. It’s not in my character, nor is it necessary.

I will however share what was the defining fact that brought our family to Young Living.

When researching what essential oils are, how they are used, and how a company acquires them, I found that Young Living blew me away! They don’t just produce oils, they discover them! Their farms span the globe, because they distill them from the land in which they thrive the best.

A list of their global farms here.

They have full control of the process: from purchasing virgin land, to bottling the oils. Young Living even takes steps not necessary, to ensure they were the best therapeutic grade oils possible. One such example is that they submit their oils to AIRASE for purity testing and are the only company to do so!
