Young Living Essential Oils Review for the Healthy Traveler

The following is my personal Young Living essential oils review. I was recently approached by a Young Living essential oil distributor to try out a travel kit. My chief complaints while traveling; headaches, jetlag, focus, and immunity.

When she first began to tell me about the product I’ll admit I was not a believer, but then I got to thinking of age-old aromatherapy and how it has a history of calming and relieving stress and headaches. So, I was willing to give it a try.

She gave me a travel-size USB orb diffuser and 4 essential oils; Lavender, Peppermint, Lemon and Thieves in small travel-sized jars. This is my review along with helpful info to understand the product.

What are essential oils?

Young Living essential oils are concentrated, natural, aromatic liquids that are extracted from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, fruit, and seeds. Plants depend on essential oils to grow, evolve, and adapt to their surroundings.

They also play an important role in defending against insects, disease, and harsh environmental conditions. They have the ability to heal the plant. Since plant cells are similar to human cells, pure, unadulterated essential oils have the ability to bring our bodies back into balance and support a healthy immune system.

NOTE: There is some confusion about CDB and essential oils. And we totally understand why as CBD recently became more and more popular in Tennessee. You might also get familiar with this cannabinoid by checking all the benefits these health supplements are offering – More details on Daily Leaf.

So how do they work?

To understand how essential oils work we need to get into a bit of chemistry. When the oils are carefully distilled from the plants, their chemistry remains intact.

There are 14 main categories of constituents found in essential oils. A few examples of these constituents are alkanes, phenols, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes.

Some of these have antiseptic qualities, some have immune support qualities, some help balance hormones and some are more antifungals, etc.
