Are essential oils really worth it? Where do I start? Do they really have health benefits? It is just a waste of money? What company do I go with? Is it just a bunch of hype? These are all questions that I had when first contemplating essential oils. And many people have the same ones.
I am not here to sell you on any particular one but to share with you my personal experience. I started my essential oil journey two years ago this past August. A good friend came to my home to share with me her own personal experience and from that day on I haven’t regretted the decision to start using essential oils. One of the man reasons my family started using essential oils was because of upper respiratory issues. They have definitely been a big help for us.
When first starting out we just diffused them. Now I have learned so many other benefits. I have made my own beauty products, like eyelash serum and shave scrub. Also my own supplements. And lastly one of my favorites, I have started making my own cleaning products that are less harsh. Check out a previous post on some of my favorites to clean with https://beautyamongus.com/young-living-essential-oils-part-1-the-ditch-switch/.
I chose to go with Young Living and cannot tell you that there aren’t others out there that aren’t just as good. But for me, after much research, Young Living was the best for my family.
Some of my personal favorites are listed below:
- Sinus Blend: 3 drops Peppermint; 2 drops Lavender; 1 drop Lemon
- Spiced Cider: 2 drops Orange; 2 drops Clove; 2 drops Nutmeg; 2 drops Cinnamon Bark
- Sleep: 2 drops Lavender; 2 drops Eucalyptus; 2 drops Peppermint
- Ocean Air: 3 drops Lavender; 3 drops Peppermint; 3 drops Rosemary
- Young Living also has a large assortment of blends like Christmas Spirit; Thieves; R.C. and Purification
Essential oils have been a blessing and I am thankful to have started using them. One of my beliefs is trying to live a more natural lifestyle and not use so many toxic products. Some amazing facts are that a lot of the oils are Biblical. Frankincense and Myrrh were two of the oils taken by the Wise Men to Jesus. And when researching these two oils, there are amazing healing elements to them.
I hope that I have encouraged you a little to slowly start using essential oils. And please, if you have any questions do not hesitate to leave it in the comment section.
Blessings Always!!!
