We’re celebrating our third annual International Essential Oils Day! Join us as we raise our glasses to Young Living’s founder, D. Gary Young, and remember his mission to spread the love of essential oils to every person in every household around the world.
If you’re already essential oil obsessed, you understand the importance of keeping a solid collection of EOs in your home. We can just imagine your color-coded shelf or alphabetized drawer of bottles.
As essential oils have gained popularity in recent years, it’s become obvious that those precious drops have an abundance of uses and benefits for every home. From aromatherapy to toxin-free cleaning, essential oils can help everyone find joy in their wellness journey.
Whether you’re a dedicated oil user or still investigating, we have five reasons to (easily) convince you that essential oils are for everyone.
They harness the benefits of nature’s living energy
Never have the gifts of nature been so accessible and versatile. Essential oils bring natural solutions to any family’s day-to-day, from the bedtime bustle to science projects with the kids. These little bottles pack a whole lot of punch. Essential oils are derived from the powerful distillations of a plant’s essence, so yes, they really work!
One of the most popular ways to experience essential oils is through aromatherapy, the practice of using oils aromatically and topically for overall wellness. Whether you’re diffusing oils to freshen the air or using them topically during a massage, you’re practicing aromatherapy. The benefits of aromatherapy are endless, including enhancing meditation, boosting your mood, and improving your bedtime routine!
Their DIY potential is limitless
Think of any commercial product that you use at home on the daily—there’s a DIY for that! The beauty of replacing store-bought products with handmade is that you know exactly what’s in them. Essential oil DIYs can be simple or complicated with a project for every skill level.
A couple drops of essential oil can add natural benefits and uplifting scents to any DIY project you’re eager to try!
Here are a few of our favorites:
- Nail polish remover and cuticle oil for an at-home mani that rivals any salon
- Thieves® cleaning fizzies to clean up any messy situation
- Bathroom spray that will whisk away unpleasant odors
- Exfoliating soap for silky skin
- EO-infused wreath to take things to the next level with scented decor
- Perfume, body spray, or cologne for a thoughtful handmade gift
They make the best products
Doing it yourself isn’t your thing? Try using products that are already infused with essential oils! You can hydrate sun-soaked skin, amp up your personal care routine, and enjoy clean beauty products formulated with the right amount of oil and spot-on scents you’ll be obsessed with.
Shout it from the rooftops: Young Living products are made from natural ingredients and toxin free! They’re the best of the best. Keep toxins out of your home and your family safe with EO products like all-purpose cleaner and baby wash and shampoo.
