Why I Use Young Living Essential Oils — And How You Can Shop the Same Ones

These Are the Oils I Choose For My Family

I'm a certified aromatherapist, and I didn't come to Young Living through a sales pitch — I came to it through my own family's life. Essential oils have been part of our daily routine for more than a decade, long before I ever thought about sharing them with anyone else.

Over the years, people started asking what I use, what I diffuse, what's in my cleaning cupboard, and what I reach for first when someone in my house isn't feeling their best. This page is my honest answer to that question — not a sales script, just what's actually true in our home.

I choose Young Living because of their Seed to Seal quality commitment — the company controls its oils from the growing and distilling of the plants through to the sealed bottle, and tests for purity along the way. That matters to me, because these are the products I use around my own kids every day.

You don't need to become an aromatherapist, join a team, or sell anything to access these products. You just need a place to shop — and that's what a member account gives you.

What a Member Account Actually Gives You

Young Living calls this a 'wholesale' or 'Brand Partner' account behind the scenes, but in plain terms: it's a member shopping account. Think of it like a Costco membership for essential oils — you sign up once, and every future order is automatically discounted. There's no requirement to sell, recruit, or build a team of any kind.

How to Get Started (About 5 Minutes)

Let's Clear Up the Fears First

These are the questions I get asked most before someone signs up. I'd rather answer them here than have them sit in the back of your mind.

Not Sure Where to Start? Here's What I'd Recommend

If you want the simplest path, a starter bundle gives you the best value per bottle and everything you need to begin. Here are the three I recommend most, depending on what you're looking for:

Prefer to Start Smaller? Try These Individual Oils

If a bundle feels like too much at once, these four oils cover almost everything a beginner needs and are the ones I recommend most often:

• Lemon — bright, uplifting, and useful for cleaning, laundry, and freshening up a room.
• Lavender — the most versatile oil in most collections; calming aroma, popular at bedtime.
• Peppermint — cooling and invigorating; a go-to for an afternoon pick-me-up or a stuffy room.
• Thieves — Young Living's signature blend, popular for immune support during the colder months and for cleaning.

What's Part of Our Own Family Routine

Beyond the everyday basics above, our family has navigated ADHD, anxiety, and Tourette's, and over the years I've built a small collection of oils that have become a personal part of how we support our routines at home: Vetiver, GeneYus, Peace & Calming, and Clarity.

I want to be upfront about what this is and isn't: I'm sharing what's part of our own family's routine, not a claim about what these oils will do for yours. Everyone's situation is different, essential oils aren't a treatment or a substitute for medical care, and I'm not a doctor. If you're navigating something similar with your own family, I'd always encourage working with your child's healthcare provider alongside anything else you try — but I'm happy to share what's worked for us if you want to ask me about it directly.
