Can I use Essential Oils for _____?

You may not realize this yet, but essential oils are SO versatile and hold the potential for many uses. I often get asked, “Do you think there’s an oil I could use for [fill in the blank]?” The simple answer is YES! There IS an oil that can be used for that!

All Ages

One of the beautiful things about essential oils (EOs) is that they are beneficial for people of all ages. I’ve heard it said that EOs are relevant for everyone from pediatrics to geriatrics. This is so true! Young Living (YL) has oils and oil-infused products that can benefit health issues and everyday needs that arise during all stages of life. Baby has diaper rash? There’s an oil for that! Kiddo has a sunburn? There’s an oil for that! Teenager needs hormone help? There’s an oil for that! Grandma has constipation? There’s an oil for that! When you’re looking for natural solutions for your family’s needs, you will nearly always find a YL oil or product that will help. In many cases, there are even several products to choose from!

YL has made it easy to find products on their website for specific needs. With a quick search you can find the oils and products formulated specifically for different ages and genders. Here’s a quick list to help you find what you’re looking for:

• Babies – Seedlings
• Children ages 2-12 – KidScents
• Masculine care – Shutran products
• Feminine care – Femigen and Progessence Plus
• All ages – NingXia Red (read more about NingXia Red here)

Animals

If you love animals and want to use essential oils on them, you’re in luck! YL has a line formulated specifically for animals! Pet owners, veterinarians, ranchers and homesteaders have been successfully using EOs on their animals for years and years. Be sure to research your specific animal and the safest ways to use EOs on and around them. But, it is definitely possible to give your furry friends the same benefits that humans get from essential oils. Here’s a quick guide to YL’s products for animals:

Replace Conventional Products

You may have a medicine cabinet at home filled with things from the pharmacy and drug store. Is it possible to use EOs in place of some of these products? Yes, absolutely! One way this is possible is simply because many drugs contain the same constituents as EOs, just in synthetic form. EOs offer many of the same benefits, just in a natural form. Young Living has formulated a wide variety of oil-infused supplements for this reason!

It’s necessary to tell you that I am neither a doctor nor do I give medical advice. Please speak to your healthcare professional before switching from conventional to natural health products. But, I can tell you I personally know hundreds of ways that others have successfully made the switch. Some research and trial and error may be required, but replacing conventional health products is 100% possible! In most cases, EOs and oil-infused products do not come with the negative side effects experienced by their Rx counterparts. Taking a more natural approach to health has yielded amazing results for many, many people!

Cleaning

I don’t personally enjoy cleaning, but I LOVE YL’s home cleaning products. Yes, YL has (the G.O.A.T.) oils for that. I’m talking about the one and only oil Thieves essential oil blend. This blend contains carefully researched and hand-picked oils to create a combination that has massive cleaning and germ-killing power. Traditional cleaning products can contain some dangerous chemicals you don’t want around your family. You can read more about that here. But YL offers both safe and effective cleaning products for your entire home. I have been using only the Thieves line for my household cleaning, laundry and dishes for years with great results. Once you try them you will never want to go back to your old products!

Ingesting

Is it safe to ingest essential oils? You may have heard or read differing opinions about this. But, Young Living has researched the benefits (and potential risks) of taking EOs internally and recommends ingesting! In fact, they have an entire line called Vitality that strictly includes oils that have been FDA approved for internal use. Believe it or not there are around 50 oils in this line! You can confidently use Vitality oils in your drinks, cooking, under your tongue – however you want to get them in your body! Just follow the instructions printed on the label. It’s easy to distinguish Vitality oils from others because their labels are white!

Bath & Body

Lastly, rest assured you can stop buying soap and body lotion from the mall. Because there are oils (and oil-infused products) that are way better for your body than what you can find with store-bought products. Despite many lotions, soaps and shampoos smelling really fresh and “clean” most of them contain chemicals that are detrimental to your health. Longterm exposure to these chemicals can eventually cause issues with hormones, allergies and sensitivities, just to name a few concerns.

Natural products from YL make for perfect alternatives! Not only do YL products not contain chemicals, they have the the best EOs in the world inside. And those oils are actually good for your body! My family and I buy all our bath and body items from YL – shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, lotion, face wash/moisturizer, etc. I am happy to report we have certainly never missed the old stuff we used to buy from stores!

Some Recommendations

You may be unsure where to start or how to use your EOs for targeted needs. Check out my post about the simplest ways to get started with essential oils. And there are certainly resources to help you know how and when to use your oils. I wrote a post about that, too! You can read it here.
