Reader: Sarah! 100 Reasons!!!!???? That is a lot! Are you sure there are 100?!
I could give you more, but I am way too lazy to type out more than that!
AND, I am just talking about the products that come in the Premium Starter Kit. I have absolutely FALLEN IN LOVE with all things Young Living. There are so many more oils, home care products and health products to better your family.
Today, I will give 100 reasons for the PREMIUM STARTER KIT!
Reader: Alright, well start telling me! I'm very curious. You know, I have been strongly considering signing up for this. I keep changing my mind. I need someone to convince me.
Well, I am here to convince you.
(Also, I think this is the longest post I have ever written. Never happening ever again. And another thing, the images I saw when I googled some of these health issues will never be erased from my mind. I wish that they could be, but I think they are burned in my brain. All for you Reader.)
1. 100% Natural: I am not going to do a lot of lecturing in this 100 reasons, but I will say this, I have learned so much about all of the poisonous chemicals in our household products and medicines that we ingest and inhale on a daily basis. Most are linked to cancer. It is time to use a product that is 100% natural and therapeutic. It is time to use a product that will better your family, without hurting your family.
(However, I will never give up using Velveeta with Rotel for amazing queso. Some things just shouldn't end.)
2. Great Price: It's just a good deal! Once you realize that Essential Oils are the way to go in life, it will become clear that Young Living has the best deal. The Premium Starter costs $150, but it's retail value is $300. You are getting 50% off. That is a good deal!
3. Seed To Seal: It's an even better deal because Young Living is the best!! Look at this blog post I wrote about their "Seed To Seal" promise HERE. They monitor EVERY SINGLE step from planting the seeds to tightening the bottle on the oil lid. You can be assured that their standards are amazingly high. They have third party testing also! That always makes me feel better.
4. They Are Safe For EVERYONE: Essential Oils are safe for your entire family! While you need to be smart about using them, Young's Living's oils are safe for your children, yourselves, and your children's children. No need to buy chidlren's this and infant that at the grocery store! (Safety: check bottle for ways to apply. Always dilute with a carrier oil on children.)
5. No Negative Side Effects: As long as you use them correctly, (ie: Don't drink the bottle) Young Living's oils will have no negative side effects like chemical drugs do. Read "Why Essential Oils Heal and Drugs Don't" taken out of the book, "The Chemistry of Essential OIls" by DOCTOR David Stewart. It is a fast and super interesting read. (This is how I convinced my husband to use all Young Living products)
6. Awesome Diffuser: You can use these oils to kill all kinds of nasty smells in your house. I use Purification whenever my doggies stink up the place with their smells.
7. No More Candles: While we are on the topic of the diffuser, use it to simply make your home smell good, whether you have odors or not. Stop using candles! Many of them have chemicals like formaldehyde in them that are bad for you. Make your house smell great with oils that are great for you! Also, you will be saving money by not buying candles anymore. We haven't purchased any candles in 9 months!
8. Ease Tension/Concentrate: Use your diffuser to help you sleep at night, relax, concentrate, ease tension, and kill AIRBORN FLU GERMS!!!!!
9. Ningxia Red: In your kit, you get two samples of Ningxia Red. This might not seem like a lot, but it is. Tasting these two samples got me hooked and has definitely bettered my life. Ningxia Red is an amazing vitamin drink that you (and your children) can drink every day to better your health. Check out my blog post about Ningxia Red HERE.
10. Roller Ball: In your kit you also get a roller ball! What? This is a fantastic little gift that comes with the kit. You can attach this roller ball to your favorite oil for easy roll on. Mine is on our sleepy oils. I made a combo of Stress Away, Peace and Calming, and Lavender. Jackson loves to rub it on his arms and feet at night before bed!
11. Caffeine Replacement: OK, I know no one wants to give up their coffee, but I don't think my coffee addiction is all that healthy. What about yours? It doesn't help that I add all kinds of really bad fake coffee creamer to my coffee. Anyways, a little bit of Peppermint Oil will wake you right up! You can have it in your tea or just put a drop in your mouth. Sometimes before I go run, I like to rub a bit on my wrists. Gives me an umph...that I desperately need... Also, there are times that I just put a drop in my coffee. It's like caffeine times two!
12. Acid Reflux/Heart Burn: Peppermint will do many a thing and one of them is stop acid reflux/heart burn. If I had only known about these oils when pregnant.
13. Stomach Issues: Any kind of stomach cramps or poops you might have. Any nausea you have. Peppermint is the way to go. It will help very quickly. I have used it for all of the above and it works well!
14. Reduce Fever: I did this when my husband had a fever. I placed some peppermint on his temples and a swipe across his forehead. The fever dropped within 5-10 minutes.
15. Hiccups: You better believe it. Worked for me. Put a drop of Peppermint on your spine and your hiccups will stop.
16. Appetite Suppressant: A little bit of Peppermint oil in your water or taken with a capsule will reduce your appetite! I know! Amazing. I have tried it. It works. I need to keep trying it....Check out some stuff about detox and weight loss HERE.
17. Alertness and Concentration: Some exciting research has been done with peppermint essential oil that studies an increase of concentration and alertness and even memory. Simply take your bottle of Young Living peppermint oil and place a drop of the oil on your tongue or add it to flavor and cool your water, lemonade, or favorite tea.
18. Allergies: There is a great combo for allergies. It is lemon, lavender and peppermint oils. Everyone raves about it and most have gotten off of their Zyrtec and Allegra by using the combo together in a pill or by rubbing in on their necks and behind their ears. Check out more about it HERE.
19. SPIDERS ROACHES ANTS MICE: I cannot even begin to explain how well this has worked for us. Living right next to a field in Guatemala, we had roaches and spiders galore (I promise I am a clean person). I started spraying our curtains, rugs and bathrooms with peppermint oil and water spray and we have only seen one spider since. No roaches. No Spiders. AMAZING
20. All The Cool Kids Are Doing It: Young Living's growth rate in the last year is 140%. They are adding 60,000 people a month. This is amazing to me. I think it is happening because people are starting to learn more about their current household products. I think people are getting tired of chemicals in the items they use for themselves and their family. I also think people are hearing from other people that these Young Living products are safe and are WORKING!
21. Sleep Better: With Lavender, Peace and Calming, Stress Away, and Valor many have found a better nights sleep! Seriously. My son started sleeping through the night for the first time in two years. I know tons of older people who are finally getting a full nights sleep without waking up every few hours. Either rub it on yourself or diffuse it in your room. Smells fantastic too!
22. Stop Burns: Lavender is a great way to decrease the pain during after a burn and to help it heal quicker. I have experience. It is so crazy how quickly it works. Just apply Lavender straight on your burn. It will decrease the pain almost immediately. It is not like a carrier oil (coconut, olive, peanut oil) It will not hold the heat in.
23. Heal Cuts Quicker: Lavender is great for putting on cuts. It heals them quickly. My son hates ointments and other over the counter products. He used to freak out after he would cut his knee or foot if I tried to put something on him. Now, when he cuts himself, he asks me to put on Lavender.
24. Eczema: Lavender is great for putting on your eczema and I am surprised at how quickly the cracked and itchy knuckles heal back up. I am so used to putting this nasty cream that is super expensive on it. This is way better and I smell great!
25. No More Moths: Apparently moths hate the smell of Lavender so you can put a little bit on a cotton ball and put them in your closet and drawers.
26. Dandruff: Rub a few drops of Lavender on your scalp where you have dandruff. It will help to eliminate it!
27. Make your Laundry Smell Better: Joy, Purification or Lavender smell great in your laundry! Put a few drops of one of the above on a dry towel and throw in the dryer with your clothes. They smell sooo good when they come out!
28. Help Heal Cold Sores: Placing a drop of Lavender on your cold sore will help heal it quicker!
29. Pain Free/Quick Healing Sunburn: Sunburns are the worst, and as much as we might try, we usually end up getting sunburned on some part of our bodies that we missed with sunscreen. Lavender takes the stink out of the sunburn and helps it to heal quicker.
30. Free Samples: As much as you think you won't want to share the oils with other people, you will end up loving them and you will end up telling everyone about them. Young Living knows this so they provide 10 samples in your Premium Starter Kit to give away to other people. Or you can be selfish and keep them for yourself:)
31. Prevent/Diminish Stretch Marks: Oh gosh. If only I had had a bottle of Frankincense when I was pregnant with my son.... Frankincense helps diminish and prevent stretch marks. Just rub it on every day with a little coconut oil!
32. Better Your Boobies: Frankincense is good for your breasts! A study at BYU found that Frankincense (along with Grapefruit and Sandalwood) have anti-tumoral affects against certain highly invasive breast cancers. Make up a little concoction of Frank and coconut oils, and rub it all over those lovely ladies 2-3 times a week to maintain breast health. It perfect for lymphatic drainage in those TaTas!
33. No More Warts/Moles/Skin Tags: This works. I am a test dummy of this. So is my dad. I got a skin tag to come off by putting Frank on it every night for about two weeks. Just came right off. My dad got a big wart on his hand to come off by putting Frank on once in the morning and once at night.
34. Get Rid Of Your Skin Spots and Sun Spots: Frankincense helps to diminish skin spots and sun spots. I rub this all over my face every night for this and for number 35!
35. Wrinkles No More: Yep. It's true. With Frankincense you can diminish your wrinkles. I use this every night and have visibly seen my wrinkles diminish. I just put it straight on my face, but you can dilute it and help it go further with coconut, grapeseed or jojaba oil.
36. TMJ: Use Valor for TMJ. Rub it on in the morning and at night before bed until the pain goes away!
37. Back Pain/Spinal Adjustment: Apparently Valor is the "chiropractor in a bottle." Apply to the bottoms of the feet for spinal alignment or simply apply where there is pain.
38. Courage: While I have not had to use Valor for this, (Some would say I have too much courage and confidence) I have heard that it works wonderfully. It gives you all kinds of....VALOR! People have become obsessed with this oil and this is one of the reasons.
39. Sciatica: Find relief from Sciatica by rubbing Valor on your feet. I'm telling you..this stuff works.
40. Become Part Of An Oily Family: When you sign up under Young Living, you are signing up under someone who signed up under someone who signed up under someone. Most everyone has a group. I am part of an AMAZING group of people called Oily Families. It is fantastic with over 10,000 people on the Facebook group. If I have a question, I type it in and then get at least 5-10 responses from people who have experienced what I am asking about. You will never not know what to do with your oils. These people are amazing and SO friendly!
41. Fight Off Cold And Flu: Thieves kills 99.96% of airborn germs. This is the perfect oil to put on the bottom of your feet and to diffuse in your room to keep others from getting sick.
42. Strep Throat Be Gone: Put two drops of Thieves in water and gargle. It will not only kill all the bad stuff, but it will also numb your throat! Seriously works. You can also add it to hot water with a little lemon oil to kill the bacteria, numb the throat, and kill the germs.
43. Gingivitis And Bleeding Gums...OUCH!: I have actually done this and it works! It is amazing. I had bleeding gums a few weeks ago, and put Thieves on it. They were better within an hour.
44. Freshen Breath When You Forget Your Gum: This one works well. Thieves or Peppermint oil are great for putting a drop or two in your mouth if you think your breath is stinky. I have done this many a time...probably too many....
45. Kill Mold: You can diffuse Thieves or Purification to kill mold. It works. My friend is currently doing it. It also just smells amazing. Thieves in the diffuser
46. Clean Your Produce: Um we have lots of parasites in Guatemala on our produce. Most people wash their produce in bleach to insure that it's clean and that all of the parasites are dead. Well, I don't have to do that anymore. I use 5 drops of Lemon oil and 5 drops of Thieves with water and we have not gotten sick yet. It will definitely clean your wonderful produce in America!
47. Canker Sores Away: Put some Thieves on your canker sore. It will hurt for a hot minute, but will heal very quickly! Am I the only one that bites their canker sore and re-hurts it?
48. Kill Fungal Skin & Toenail Infections: Just put a drop of Thieves on your infection or on the nail bed two to three times a day until it is gone!
49. Clean Your House: I realize that no one wants to actually do this, but it is a must. And, since bleach is HORRIBLE for you, aren't you so excited to find out that you can literally clean your entire house with Thieves and Lemon oil? You are welcome. Also, your house will smell amazing!
50. Say Bye Bye To Bronchitis: Dilute with a carrier oil 50/50 and rub on chest and back. Then, apply a wet compress. You can also diffuse it. Apparently it works! (I can't speak to this one.)
51. Make Money: I know I know. "I don't want to sell these! I don't want to be that person!" Fine. Don't be that person. I get it. But, as you use them and they work, you will naturally tell people about them. Especially friends and family. Tell them how to sign up and give them your member number. You will get a 25% of whatever they order and a $25 starter kit bonus. Then you will make 25% on the first 3 months of their order. After that, you will make 8% for the rest of their lives. You will also make a % off of the people that they sign up and so on and so forth. So, I mean. Whatever. I am making almost $1,000 a month and I just bought my first kit 6 months ago.
52. Reduce Inflammation: Put Pan Away on injured area to reduce inflammation!
53. Ease That Muscle Pain: I have used this. Pan Away kind of tingles as you rub it on. I would say it's kind of like Icy Hot but with out all of the bad chemicals. Plus, it will last you forever cause you only use 2-3 drops at a time.
54. Stop Growing: Ok, don't stop growing, but stop growing pains by using Pan Away.
55. Make Your Children Chill: Peace and Calming will chill your kids out. Oh your pets too! My sister in law put it on her dog and her hyper dog totally calmed down!
56. Take A Nice Comfy Bath: You can use Lavender, Purification, Stress Away, or Peace and Calming in your bath and just RELAX. It smells so good too!
57. Stop Grinding Those Teeth: Diffuse Peace & Calming at night to stop nocturnal teeth grinding.
58. Learn About Everything That's Bad: I know. That doesn't sound good, but I have learned so much since I started using these oils! They are amazing! You know what's not amazing? Almost all of the products we bring into our homes that are not all natural. I am becoming THAT annoying person....
59. Stop Shin Splints: I have used this combo before and therefor fell in love with it because it worked immediately. Valor, Pan Away, and Peppermint right on the shin splint and the pain goes away quickly!
60. No More Bruises: Use Lavender or Pan Away to decrease bruising or black eyes.
61. Get Off That Sticky Gunk: Lemon oil will remove just about anything sticky on just about anything you own. Gum off the bottom of shoes. Labels off of jars or dishes. Etc. You name it, Lemon oil will get it off.
62. Magic Marker Be Gone: Speaking of that it will also take marker and MAGIC marker off of walls! I have never tried this, only heard it from other moms!
63. No One Likes Varicose Veins: Apply Lemon oil to your veins and supposedly they will decrease the appearance. Lots of people do this, but I have not tried it yet.
63. Flavor Your Water: I do this every day. I only drink water. It is delicious with lemon oil in it. 4 drops in 20 oz. DELICIOUS!
64. Detox Detox Detox: Lemon is a detox. So, you can detox for health reasons or you can detox to lose weight. OR you can detox for both!
65. Headache or Migraine: Use Peppermint or Pan Away to help with headache. For that matter, you can use Valor too. They work. John has to do this often. Diffuse it into the room or rub it on your temples!
66. Increase Libido: Yea, that's right. Joy, Put it on every day!
67. Cook With Them: I use Lemon oil and Peppermint oil in cooking all the time! I have made lemon cookies, lemon cake, blueberry bars, peppermint brownies, peppermint fudge, tortilla soup, cornbread casserole etc all with using Lemon oil and Peppermint oil. Check it out here and here.
68. Get Rid Of Your Skin Callouses: Put Lemon oil on your callouses in the morning and at night. Before you know it, they will be gone!
69. Kill Bacteria: Lemon oil kills bacteria so it is great to use in your bathroom or in a public bathroom if you don't have any soap or just don't want to use it. Put a few drops of lemon oil on your hands. They will smell great too! Although, I always want lemon candy after doing this...
70. Study: I am A.D.D Frankincense, Peppermint, and Valor are the perfect combination for studying. Rub these all over yourself and inhale Frank and Valor. Also, do this again right before your test and it is supposed to help you remember the things you studied. Oh to have had these in College...and high school...and middle school...and lower school...
71. Stop The Itching In Insect Bites: Purification and Lavender will stop bites from itching. It is one of the first things that really sold me on these oils. I put Purification on and 1 minute later the itch was gone.
72. Get Rid Of Zits: Put Purification, Thieves, or Lemon on your zits and they will dry up quickly. All three will also kill the germs!
73. Stop Stinky Shoes: Put a bit of Purification in your shoes and it will kill the odor quickly.
74. Keep Those Mosquitoes Away: Purification is a blend of oils. Two of those oils are Citronella and Lemongrass. Mosquitoes hate both. You can make your own mosquito repellent HERE!
75. Use On Your Pets: You can use almost all of these on your pets. Use to keep fleas away. Use on ear mites. Calm your pet down with some. Just google Young Living and Pets together and you will find all kinds of cool stuff you can do with your oils!
76. Brighten Your Mood: Many have gotten off of antidepressants with Joy among some other Young Living products. (This needs to be done carefully and under doctor supervision.) I, however, have just used Joy on days when I am glum. I a little Joy over my heart and on my wrists, and I honestly feel better.
77. Circulate That Blood: Rub a drop or two of joy on areas of poor circulation to increase blood flow. I need to do this!
78. Stop Anxiety: Joy, along with some others in this kit have been a great success in curbing anxiety. (Lavender, Peace and Calming, Stress Away) Rub behind ears, on heart, and on wrists.
79. No More Cramps: Put Joy over your abdomen where you are cramping.
80. Lower Blood Pressure: With Joy you can lower blood pressure (especially if stress induced) by placing on your wrists and over heart.
81. Parasites: Kill Parasites with Thieves, Lemon and Peppermint. We use these on my son all the time. He plays in the dirt at the farm we work at. He needs these...
82. Wash Your Clothes: Use Thieves and Lemon in your homemade laundry soap!
83. Chapped Lips: Use Lavender on your lips. Will take away the pain of the chappedness!
84. DISCOUNTS: When you get your Premium Starter Kit, you are becoming a "member." (That is the wording they use when you sign up. Do not check "customer" if you want the Premium Starter Kit.) This does not mean that you have to pay a membership fee every month. All it means is that you get 24% discount for the rest of your life as long as you order 1 product a year. My opinion is, if you don't order at least one thing in the entire first year you use your kit, you don't like the stuff that much anyways. I have ordered WAY too much in the first 6 months...
85. Earn Free Stuff: When you sign up for Young Living, at any point, you have the opportunity to sign up for Essential Rewards. You earn % back every time you order. Read more about it HERE. I just spent $172 worth of free month on products!
86. Get All Kinds Of Household Items: Young Living doesn't just have oils. They have everything! They have food, drinks, facial products, diet supplements (that are safe!), shampoo, mouth care products, soaps, etc... More tan anything, they are all safe for your family!!
87. Make Foaming Hand Soap: Um this is like the easiest thing ever and so cheap. I will make this for the rest of my life. Bye bye certain store at the mall that sells foaming hand soap. Get recipe HERE.
88. Make Face Cream: Use Frankincense, Purification and Lavender mixed with some coconut oil to make a face cream to put on at night. You can keep it in the fridge to keep it cool and refreshing.
89. Thicken Your Eyelashes: This works, and it makes your mascara less clumpy. It also helps it to stay on longer. 1 drops of Lavender oil in your mascara. Thank me later.
90. Make Eye Makeup Remover: This is so easy! Just a few drops of Lavender and some coconut oil! No need to buy this stuff any more at the store, and it's all good for you! Get recipe HERE.
91. Polish Your Furniture: If you have any furniture that needs to be polished, put a little bit of Lemon oil with some water and coconut oil and voila! Furniture Polish that smells great!
92. Make Salt Scrub or Sugar Scrub: This is a great way to make your own bath care products. All those companies out there use Essential oils in their bath salts and sugar scrubs. The problem is that they use all kinds of other stuff that's not good for you. Here is a simple recipe for a salt scrub! You can use your favorite Scent! HERE
93. Use For Massage...oooh la la...: Joy, Lavender, Peace and Calming or Stress Away would be my go to to use for a massage. Use with a little carrier oil. Enjoy! (Also if you bring your essential oils with you, many massage therapists will use them during your massage!)
94. Fight Postpartum: This goes along with depression, but because it is not a normal part of your life, it might catch you off guard a little. Apply to heart, wrists, and temples. Or, diffuse it in your house. Smells great!
95. Fly With Less Stress: I hate flying. I used Stress Away right before taking off and right when landing. It was amazing how calm I was! This stuff worked quite well. It also smells amazing.
96. Be Less Stressed At Work: Have your husband take a bottle of Stress Away with the roller ball on it to work. During the day, he can apply it to wrists and on neck. Smells clean and fresh. Not girly. If you are a mom, obviously you need this too. Y'all just need to share!
97. Diffuse In Your Classroom: My mom diffuses different oils all day long. You can try Lavender or Peace & Calming to chill out your classroom. You can use Purification to get the middle school stink away. You can use Thieves to kill the germs. You can use Lemon for a fresh smell. I would personally use them to keep those germs away.
98. Rashes: You can use Lavender on any kind of rash you have. Anytime Jackson has a rash, I just rub some lavender on him. He doesn't mind it and the rash is almost always gone the next day.
99. Teach Your Kids How To Be Grateful For God's Creation: All Young Living Essential oils come from plants. Plants come from God. It is from my previous experience that your kids will fall in love with essential oils. What an amazing opportunity to share with them how God provided these oils to protect us and keep us safe and healthy. He knew that we would need these, and he created them when he created the world long ago.
100. You Will Become Even Better Friends With Me: I'm reaching here to get to 100, but honestly, this has been one of my most favorite parts about these oils. I have reconnected with so many people that I had not talked to in forever. I love being there to help people and answer any questions that they might have. It has rekindled many a friendship and I hope it will happen with you too! (If we aren't friends yet, I make a super great friend...sometimes...I mean it's hard here in Guatemala, but I am really good and Facebook stalking.)
So, there you have it.
I did it.
I could add more, but I would shoot myself.
So, if I have convinced you that you need the Premium Starter Kit, which you do, then head on over to my "I Want Oils" page and click on any of the links.
You will choose the Member option, which is just a fancy way of saying you are buying the Premium Starter Kit and getting the 24% discount!
If you want to go the customer rout, you can. You just don't get the discount or any of the other awesome things i have stated above. Either way, I make money off of you:)
