Young Living Essential Oils and How I Use Them

After hearing people rave about Young Living Essential Oils for several years, I finally purchased a Premium Starter Kit for myself.

I admit to being a bit of a skeptical user.  My thought when I first ordered was, “It may not work or it may be a placebo effect, but there have been a lot of times I’d love to have a good placebo!”

But the more I use the oils, the more I see that they really do work.

I placed my starter kit order after battling a cold/flu virus that came with a week long headache.  My main interest was getting my hands on Thieves® Oil.

Thieves® was created based on research about four thieves in France who covered themselves with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing plague victims. This proprietary essential oil blend was university tested for its cleansing abilities. It is highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health.

The day that my starter kit arrived was also the day that my youngest daughter came down with the same cold/flu that I had.

I immediately began diffusing Thieves®.  I also made up a balm of coconut oil with a few drops of Thieves®, Lemon Oil, Peppermint Oil and Frankincense Oil.  I rubbed this on the bottoms of her feet.

Honestly, I don’t know if it really worked or not.  What I do know is that she wasn’t as sick as I was.  No one else in the family got the virus.  And she didn’t progress into bronchitis, which regularly happens with any cold or flu she gets.

I’ve also been using the oils to try to prevent and treat my migraines.  As soon as I feel my shoulders, neck and jaw get tight (early warning symptom of a migraine for me) I rub Stress Away all over the area.  Then I apply Peppermint to my temples, behind my ears and base of my skull.

I do think this has curbed several migraines.  And it also provides some relief when I do have one.  These two oils travel with me in my purse so I have access to them all the time.

My son has been using Frankincense Oil for acne.  He teases me about putting an oil on everything, but he keeps asking to use this one, because it’s working.

One of my other favorites from the starter kit is Citrus Fresh.  It smells like sunshine to me!  I love diffusing it in the morning or anytime when I want to feel awake and alert.

The graphic below shows the oils you get in the Young Living Premium Starter Kit.

So, here is the real bottom-line:

You can buy the oils retail from my site by clicking here. To buy the oils in the most economical way (this is the way I’ve been using the products) you can become a “wholesale member.” In return you get the oils at a wholesale discount plus access to other offers. When you sign up, I get a commission {I think it is super important to be clear on that!}. If – and ONLY if – you choose to sign someone else up, you can get a commission.  You never have to sign anyone up or share the oils.  You can simply enjoy the wholesale pricing with zero strings attached. For real. I recommend starting with the Premium kit because you get lots of oils in actual jars, and a diffuser. {see more below}

But here is where Young Living differs from others: There is NO regular purchase commitment! In other words, you don’t have to maintain a certain order amount, and you are not locked into any specific purchase commitment.  Because, when you don’t NEED something, why in the world should you HAVE to buy it?

Young Living does offer a monthly order program called Essential Rewards, but this is totally optional. Yay!! I did not do it at first, but now I have actually signed up for ER (Essential Rewards). The Stress Away/Peppermint combo is so helpful for my migraines that I carry them with me in my purse. I signed up for ER as soon as I saw I would need to order more. I like that I get a percentage back in product credit as I build my collection of oils and buy what I need.

YOUNG LIVING WHOLESALE MEMBER PRICING FAQ’S

Why Should I Become A Wholesale Member?

This is the way to get your oils at 24% off retail price! Always awesome to get this discount. As you use the oils and you share your testimonials with friends and family, you have the OPTION {100% OPTIONAL!} of earning commissions when others join and purchase Young Living oils. There is NEVER any obligation to buy a certain amount or ever share YL with others. Never!! Win-win!

Is there a monthly order minimum?

No. You can just order what you need when you need it! LOVE THIS!

I just really want to use oils myself. Do I ever have to sell Young Living products?

This is fine! There is NO obligation at all to sell oils when you join as a wholesale member. However, if you ever change your mind, you can jump right in and the sky is the limit. I personally choose to just share it online or with friends who ask me about it first. It is a no-pressure kind of thing, and I will not lie… the monthly check is love.lyyyyy!

Are you sure there are no monthly order requirements?

There is NO, zilch, zero, REQUIREMENT. {<- finally! a company that gets it!!}!  To retain an active ‘wholesale member’ account, you have to place one 50PV {approx. $50} minimum order per year. If you miss that deadline, you can reactivate your account by calling Young Living Customer Care with a 100PV (point volume) order. Sometimes, as a promotion, they even waive this minimum order requirement to reactivate. But again, this is just to keep, what YL calls, “active status.”

If someone wants to join Young Living through me, what do I give them?

When you join, you will be assigned your own ‘wholesale member number’ to give to your friends and family who are interested in joining as well.

Is there a way to save even more money? 

Yes! The Essential Rewards program offers reduced shipping, generous credit for free oils & more!  Plus each month there are great promotions for free oils when you place an Essential Rewards order. I did not do this when I started, but now I do because it works for me! Plus, I love free stuff, and I am getting plenty of it.

What is the catch?

There is none. Period. To be clear, again, I do make a commission from the company when you make your purchase. That motivates me to share, of course, but the main reason I share Young Living oils is because I love them, they work and they have blessed our family. Thank you for enrolling as a ‘wholesale member’ via my links!

How do I get these oils in my hot little hands?

1. Click here to begin the enrollment process. It’s super easy!

2. Wholesale Member will already be selected. Again, this is the wholesale membership…with NO strings attached. It is AMAZING!If you select “Retail Customer” you will not receive wholesale pricing, you won’t have access to starter kits and you will pay retail cost which is 24% more than wholesale. Yikes!

3. Make sure my member number {2308956} is in both the Sponsor ID and Enroller ID spots.

4. PLEASE be sure to include your email address. If you don’t, I have no way to invite you to the Oily Family Facebook support group and I can’t support you as you begin your journey with essential oils. I love this FB page and am on there a lot learning more and more everyday how people are using and having success with the oils.

5. Choose the kit you want. {I highly recommend the PREMIUM KIT.} It’s the first kit you see when you are signing up.  Then proceed to check out. You can skip the Essential Rewards part for now unless you would like to join ER right away.

6. That’s it! Your oils will be on their way to your doorstep!
