If you’ve been following even just some of my posts, by now you know that I am a Young Living Addict! I never leave home without my Essentials! I use these amazing oils for just about everything. I even clean my home with them! My Young Living Oils are always on top of my list when it comes to holistic products for my health and well-being.
I get asked a lot of questions about what the benefits of using them are, and also how to use them. The truth is, you can use Young Living products for just about anything. Here are just a few ways to use the essential oils that come in the new Young Living Premium Kit (this is another popular question I get)
First: This is what you’ll get in your New Kit: Lavender, Frankincense, Purification, Lemon, Peppermint, Thieves, Copaiba, RC, DiGize, PanAway, and Stress Away (as a bonus!!)
It’s so important to know where your essential oils are coming from so that you can trust that you’re getting a pure and therapeutic quality grade. This is why I only use Young Living! Many of the products on the market contain chemicals, byproducts and are also mixed with other ingredients. Due to poor labeling laws, some of those companies can get away with having the words “pure” on the label… Again, this is why I only use Young Living – Because of the Quality, and their Seed to Seal Guarantee.
Lavender
This is one of the essential oils that I use the most. It does so much more than just smell amazing. It's one of the most versatile oils that you can use for just about everything.
Better Sleep and Relaxation
I love diffusing lavender in my bedroom. I often rub it on my feet, put a few drops on my pillow, and take a relaxing lavender bath before bed to get a great night's sleep.
Lavender can also work to help relax pets. My dog Baci is terrified of thunder and so we rub this on his ears (not inside them) and chest with a couple of drops of lavender when a storm is coming. Be sure to dilute essential oils with a carrier oil by 75% for toy breeds, 50% for medium size dogs, and 25% for larger dogs.
Great for Skin!
DiGize is a fabulous essential oil blend that contains Ginger, Anise, Fennel, Peppermint, Tarragon, Lemongrass, Patchouli, and Juniper essential oils, and includes naturally occurring constituents like menthol, citrol, and zingiberen.
Supports and Maintains Digestive Health
My girlfriend always carries DiGize in her purse. She takes a drop before every meal to support her digestion. She does a lot of traveling with her business and loves using it when she’s traveling abroad.
Purification
Love the way Purification smells! It contains Lemongrass, Citronella, Rosemary, Lavender, Myrtle, and Melaleuca essential oils and it's so gentle on the skin. This is one of my favourite oils to use to really sanitize my home! I also love mixing this with Lemon (about 5 drops of each in the Diffuser…My home smells like a Spa!)
Amazing Odour Removal
This is a big deal in my house because I love cooking with garlic! Plus we have a dog and a cat! Odours can get out of control! My girlfriend who travels a lot uses it in every hotel she stays in. She brings her spray bottle of distilled water and adds 15 drops of Purification
Lemon
Lemon is one of the biggest powerhouses in the essential oil world when it comes to cleaning both your house and your body! It also tastes great in water and many of my friends use it for their baking recipes.
Peppermint
Peppermint is another household favourite. It covers so many different things. It’s amazing to use to support a healthy digestive system. One of my best friends swears by it to relive her headaches… She just rubs a few drops on the back of her neck and temples (avoid the eye area) this is a “hotter” oil and we don’t want to get it in our eyes.
Amazing For Muscle Aches!
Supports a Healthy Digestive System
I love using peppermint to help support my digestive system. I use a drop in my water and it’s awesome for fresh breath and a really clean feeling in my mouth.
PanAway
Supports a Healthy Muscular System
This is great for all sorts of minor muscular discomfort of daily life-- Please make sure you read the instructions on the bottle for proper dilutions
Post Workout Relief
My husband loves a PanAway Massage! I add an extra few drops to the Young Living Ortho Massage Oil for his weekly back rub treat. It can also be applied to achy, sore, or tired muscles for working out. No massage needed!
Relaxing Post Workout Bath: You can also take a soothing Epsom salt bath with PanAway: 1 cup of Epsom salt with 4 drops of PanAway = Soothing Relaxation
Frankincense
This is one of the most famous and oldest essential oils. I remember hearing about it as a child in church and it being mentioned frequently around Christmas. However, I didn't have my first experience with Frankincense until I connected with Young Living. This is my all time favourite Essential Oil…Seriously, this stuff is Ahhhhh-Maz-Ing!
Skin Care
Frankincense is known as one of the best natural ways to support healthy skin. I love to use it on my skin. In my opinion, Frankincense and Lavender are pretty much the power house of skin care and help to keep that fantastic complexion we’re all wanting. I love combining the two and at least one of them is in all of my skin and hair care regimens.
Relaxation
For me, Frankincense is a beautiful and spiritual oil. When I need to relax, there’s nothing like it. I use this Oil every day with my Meditation practice and my life has peaked to incredible new levels! I dare you to take 5 deep whiffs and tell me you don't feel calmer, relaxed and ready for anything that comes your way!
Thieves
Thieves may be the most well known of all the Young Living essential oil blends. It's being used in hospitals as a cleaner, but yet it's gentle enough that it can be used safely on children. My Grandchildren Love Thieves!
Foaming Hand Soap works Amazing and is Gentle on Skin!
I love how this works on my Grandchildren’s hands. Clean and gentle!
Young Living also carries a terrific Thieves toothpaste, and for you DIY folks, you can have fun making and playing with recipes of your own!
Stress Away
Stress Away comes as a bonus Oil when you purchase the Premium Starter Kit.
Stress Buster
The Premium Starter Kit comes with one Roller Filament to make an essential oils a roll-on application. I love putting it on stress away! I keep this in my purse and I will roll it on my wrists, neck, or behind my ears when I need a little Stress Busting Power.
Perfume
I don’t personally use Stress Away as a perfume (I prefer Rose Essential Oil for that!) But I do know many people who use Stress Away as a perfume. It’s got a really nice, light and happy scent!
Enjoy Another Relaxing Bath
End your day with a few drops of this powerful blend in your bath to help get rid of tensions and stresses!
R.C.
This is my daughter’s go to oil when her kids are coming home from school with runny noses and yucky cold like symptoms! Works like a charm every time!
Exercise
Rub R.C. on your feet or chest before exercise to uplift and inspire.
Relax and Promote Restful Sleep
Massage three drops on your feet before bedtime to encourage an atmosphere of comfort.
Set The Mood
Diffuse RC anytime you want to be invigorated and revitalized. It's amazingly clean and pure which is just exactly what I want my home to smell like!
Copaiba
Copaiba is one of my very favourite essential oils!
It's great for just about everything- it can support the digestive, nervous, muscular and immune systems. It promotes cellular wellness and helps us to better process our emotions. It's great in beauty products, wellness products, and anything else you want to put it in! I LOVE IT!
Supports The Body
This essential oil supports many of the body systems such as the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, muscular system, skeletal system, neurological system and more!
Powerful Essential Oil!
Copaiba contains the highest amounts of Beta Aryophyllene (55 percent) of any known essential oil.
Okay Just a Few More Important Things To Know…
Not every essential oil can be used in the same way. Some require dilution and others don’t. Some can be used topically and others cannot. ALWAYS read the instructions on the label or do your own research BEFORE you use the oils in a way off label.
Good companies will provide dilution minimums and usage instructions (if they can be used via topical application, aromatic, or via ingestion) on the labels. If there are warnings on the labels-- please don't assume that this is just some fluff warning. People can get sick from using certain essential oils (especially adulterated ones) the wrong way.
As I’ve mentioned... the regulations on labeling essential oils aren't so great so how you use peppermint from one company can be very, very different than how you'd use peppermint from another company due to additives and other factors. So read the labels of every essential oil of every brand you purchase!
Do Your Own Research! Here are some questions to ask...
- Do you know exactly where their oil comes from?
- Does the company share where the product comes from?
- How it's grown? Are there pesticides used?
- How it's distilled?
- Can they go to the company farm and see the process for themselves?
- Does the company harvest and distill with many sample distillations to get the highest amount of therapeutic qualities?
- Do they know for certain that the oils they buy are safe to ingest? To put on undiluted?
- Are there ANY toxic warnings that come with their oils?
- Is there an expiration date?
Please avoid using the low quality essential oils for any reason because they can cause side effects such as asthma, burns or rashes. You can learn more about Young Living and why I recommend them Right Here.

So true... I use Yonge Living peppermint oil for my headaches all the time. I find that it really works! My husband uses it for indigestion issue. My daughter Bianca and my son Giuseppe love lavender essential oil. I rub it on their feet before bed and they have a better night sleep. Me and my husband love diffusing our bedroom with lavender 30 minute before going to bed. I use my Younge Living premium starter kit everyday and I love it!!
