Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that support the systems of the body (immune, respiratory, hormone, digestive, and more). I use essential oils because they are a natural, non-toxic alternative to traditional medicine. I replaced all of the toxic personal care, home health, and home cleaning products with Young Living Essential Oil lifestyle products and oils. We have products for everyone in your family, adults, children, and pets. My favorite way to use essential oils is topically on my skin or in the diffuser. After many years of trying other brands, Young Living is the only company I use because of their seedtoseal standards.
