Celebrating the History and Philosophy of Young Living

May 15, 2007

Lehi, Utah—At Young Living Essential Oils, we honor our stewardship as the champion of nature's living energy, essential oils. With formulations based on the wisdom of ancient traditions and the best of modern science, our therapeutic-grade essential oils and oil-enhanced nutritional supplements represent the best wellness solutions on the market. As a global leader in the development of nature's purest healthcare products, we provide unique solutions for cultivating a better lifestyle—physically, emotionally, and financially. Most importantly, we foster a community of healing and discovery where people are living lives of wellness, purpose, and abundance.

D. Gary Young, Founder and President of Young Living, began studying nutrition and naturopathy after suffering a crippling injury in a severe logging accident. After personally experiencing the many benefits of essential oils, Gary began an extraordinary campaign to promote the ancient healing art of essential oil therapy. His research led to the development of farms in Mona, Utah; St. Maries, Idaho; Provence, France; and most recently, Guayaquil, Ecuador. These farms are home to various plant life including lavender, sage, chamomile, peppermint, and a host of others cultivated and distilled to produce therapeutic-grade essential oils. Each oil is meticulously manufactured according to stringent quality standards. From seed to seal, we manage the planting, harvesting, distillation, and production of our essential oils, ensuring that they deliver a natural living energy and potent health effects. Used aromatically, applied topically, or taken internally, Young Living essential oils and essential oil blends can calm, energize, balance, purify, and rejuvenate the mind and body.

Recognized for the purity and quality of these oils, Young Living was established internationally as a company world-renowned for its high-caliber products, which now includes an extensive product line with over 140 essential oils and oil blends, as well as oil-enhanced nutritional supplements, bath and body products, skincare solutions, and natural preparations for the home. In addition to the United States, today's major markets include Australia, Japan, Europe, and Canada. With such a large following, Young Living has successfully fostered a community where individuals seeking improved health and a better life balance can find the guidance and support they need. This one-of-a-kind network of friends and mentors, through special events, activities, and an ever-growing fraternity of information sharing, provides Young Living faithful the exceptional opportunity to both give encouragement and find inspiration.

With such a massive international presence, Young Living has made it possible to bring those with cultural and lifestyle differences together to celebrate a common interest in promoting nature's purest healthcare products and unique solutions for cultivating a better lifestyle, physically, emotionally, and financially. As a result, Young Living is bringing longevity and prosperity into perfect harmony through life-enhancing products of unrivaled quality—all based on helping people succeed.
