The short answer: yes.
There's a reason essential oils have been around for thousands of years. A reason they're mentioned in 70% of the books of the Bible. A reason they're used medicinally in countries like France right now. A reason they're so popular.
They work.
They work for me. They work for countless friends and family members. And I'm confident they can work for you.
I know what you're thinking. But what if they don't? It's okay to wonder that. Just keep reading.
If at First You Don't Succeed...
Back when I started with Young Living, Valor was one of the oils in the Premium Starter Kit. I was excited because I'd heard tons of stories about how Valor supported people's emotions with its calming and soothing aroma.
So I opened my bottle and put a drop on the inside of each wrist. What happened? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
The next day, I tried putting a few drops of Valor in my diffuser. Again, nothing. I didn't understand why people were so obsessed with this oil! Other oils were working for me, so I just left that one on the counter.
But a month or two later, I read something that said you could put six drops of Valor with a carrier oil on the bottom of each foot. I tried it, and finally understood what the fuss was all about. Now I put Valor (and its successor, Valor II) on the bottoms of my feet often and reap the benefits I never would have discovered if I had given up!
If an oil doesn't work aromatically in your diffuser, try it topically. If it doesn't work topically, try a different location. If it can be taken internally, try that. Sometimes the third time really is the charm.
Have a Little Patience
For me (with the exception of Valor), essential oils started working almost right away. However, I have heard that it takes a little longer for some people.
If you try an oil and it doesn't work right away, try it again 30 minutes later. Or try using it consistently every day for a few weeks.
There can be a period of time when your body has to adjust to the oils, but you'll never make it through that period if you quit using them!
Chemicals and Toxins and Non-Organics, Oh My!
Essential oils don't get along well with things like petrochemcials and toxins, which is a good thing! We definitely don't want those in our bodies.
However, if you're putting those toxins into your body (smoking, eating lots of processed foods, putting chemical-filled products on your skin, etc.) the oils are going to have to work against them before they can support your body in the way you want them to. This means slower or less effective results.
A quick fix? Check the carrier oil (coconut oil, grapeseed oil, etc.) you're using. Is it organic? If not, make the switch!
A not-so-quick-but-important fix? Take steps toward getting rid of those toxins and chemicals. Eat more organic and fewer processed foods. Quit smoking. Look for natural beauty and cleaning products (Young Living has TONS of options). Not only will the oils work better, but you'll feel better and be healthier, which is the ultimate goal!
Different Strokes for Different Folks
Everyone is different, and oils work differently for everyone. The oils I use to support healthy skin may be too drying for your skin. The oil you use to support a healthy respiratory system may have little impact on me. We're all different, and that's okay!
This is why Young Living's Premium Starter Kit is so amazing. Not only is it an incredible deal, but you also get eleven bottles of essential oils. If one oil doesn't work in the way you want it to, there are ten more to try!
Let's say you try using Purification to support the appearance of healthy looking skin, but it's too drying. That's okay, because your PSK also came with frankincense and lavender, both of which also support healthy skin. And that bottle of Purification isn't going to go to waste! Instead of using it for your skin, use it to purify the air or enjoy the outdoors annoyance-free!
But how do you know which oils to try? I gift every single member who buys a Premium Starter Kit either reference materials that help.
Still need help figuring out what to use? Not sure what to do with one of the oils? Talk to me or your Young Living sponsor! I truly want to help you! I'm not an essential oil expert, but I do have the same reference materials as you plus some more, so we'll figure it out together! That's what I'm here for.
The ONLY Time Oils Don't Work
So, I lied a little. There IS one time when oils don't work: when you don't use them.
If it's 2 a.m. and you're not sleeping, but your bottle of lavender is sitting in the box it came in, it's not going to help you. If you want to support your energy levels, but your bottle of NingXia is unopened in the fridge, it's not going to work for you. If you want to support your immune system, but haven't touched your bottle of Thieves in three months, it's not doing anything. If you want all of these benefits but haven't gotten started with Young Living, just reading about them isn't enough!
Young Living essential oils have made a huge difference in my health, wellness, and even my finances. When you start using them, I know they'll do the same for you! What are you waiting for?
