What Are Young Living Essential Oils and What Do They Do?

In the last several years, there has been a huge growth in popularity of essential oils — and for good reason! We are proud to offer Young Living to complement your natural lifestyle. Here’s what you need to know about essential oils, what they do, and how they can benefit you.

Essential Oils for Physical Wellness

Most of us don’t lead lifestyles that are optimal for physical wellness. Whether it’s poor diet, lack of exercise, exposure to daily toxins, or a combination of all three, your body can be left unbalanced and with low energy. From supplemental support to weight management, Young Living essential oils can provide targeted solutions to restore balance so you can feel your best.

Essential Oils for a Positive Emotional State

At Livingston County Chiropractic Center, we know true health can only be achieved with a balance of physical, emotional, and mental health. Essential oils are known for their relaxing and mood-lifting qualities. Whether used in a diffuser, soothing bath, topical application, or massage, different scents can trigger different responses. For example, lavender is well-known for its stress relief and relaxing properties while lemon can invigorate your senses.

How to Use Essential Oils

Essential oils are commonly used in three ways:

Aromatically: Essential oils can be used in a diffuser to transform your home, office, and even car into an aromatherapy oasis.

Topically: Young Living essential oils can be applied topically, or directly on the skin. For many oils, a carrier oil is used with this technique (think coconut, jojoba, avocado, or olive oil) as this helps dilute the oils to spread over the skin.

Internally: Some essential oils can be ingested by dropping them on your tongue, putting them in a beverage, or even in a capsule.
