HEY bloggers use and recommend Young Living essential oils. Young Living has a 'seed to seal' approach to growing and harvesting quality essential oils: "Our community of wellness started small in 1993, when D. Gary Young and Mary Young developed their first organic herb farming and distillation operation. At the time, Gary Young had already discovered the incredible power of essential oils, but because the quality of available oils varied so greatly, he’d been unable to fully harness their potential. After establishing Young Living in 1994, the Youngs developed more farmland in Utah and Idaho and began cultivating lavender, peppermint, melissa, clary sage, and many other herbs. Fueled by a growing demand for top-quality essential oils, Young Living designed and built the largest, most technologically advanced essential oil distillery in North America. In harmony with these efforts, Young Living developed its groundbreaking Seed to Seal® process, which preserves the integrity and potency of essential oils through every step of the production process."

I’ve never been big on essential oils until a few years back. I’ve started using some for my baths and I got hooked! I’ve used to have insomnia so getting to sleep was a nightmare - pun intended haha. I kept lingering in bed without being able to close my eyes. Someone recommended lavender and Roman chamomile oil and guess what? After a week or so I got my mojo back and I enjoyed my first night of restful sleep.

Hi Sandra! It is amazing how much of a difference quality essential oils can make in our lives. I'm glad they are helping you get rest. Rest is very important to our health as outlined in our blog on Sleep:

Good Morning!
Hello! Thank you for your comment. I agree that plants can be incredibly beneficial. In fact they are the origin of essential oils! Yes some of us do have a difficult time keeping plants alive but for those who have a 'green thumb' it's a great hobby that also promotes better health! 10/6/2017 10:39:00 am
I've been an essential oils advocate for about as long as I can remember and it's always great to see people joining the community. 10/22/2017 12:31:35 pm
Hi Trysh, Thanks for the comment. I started using essential oils a few years ago when my health started declining and I was looking for natural healing alternatives. Oils are now an integral part of my healing journey (Lyme, Babesia, Bartonella, MARCoNS, Mold, etc.). Essential oils have made my journey a little easier and I cannot imagine life without them now.
