Benefit from Holiday Aromas

Before I get into holiday aromas — the scents of holidays and how they can benefit you, let me say this:

A full decade ago, essential oils were found to have something very rare — a pass key through the body’s blood/brain barrier boosting life-giving oxygen saturation around the pineal and pituitary, master endocrine glands in the limbic brain where aroma rules. This reason alone behooves use of the purest oils available lest clogging chemicals too scary to name piggyback along and sabotage the endocrine glands’ release of active and very pivotal hormones for happiness and well being.

As for oil quality, I can say that Young Living's do have a high and very pure count of oxygenating molecules as evidenced by gas-chromatograph (GC) interpretation for each batch from four separate labs. Just the small end portion of the full distinction therapeutic grade is addressed by the GC. Many human, animal, and plant work hours are required to make market. Native crops like peppermint and lavender are meticulously nurtured from seed through distillation and bottling at YL’s own farms in the Western United States along with farms in France and Spain. Gary Young, himself, regularly inspects overseas sources of exotics like frankincense and myrrh along with the traditional holiday spice oils like cinnamon and pressings from citrus rind like orange – available together in one package for Christmas called the Essence of the Season Kit.

If other companies follow the same procedures then they may be able to achieve the high terpenoid count (oxygenation) that YLEOs possess. However, any deviation from this production method developed by the company’s founder recognized worldwide as expert increases the likelihood the molecules will not actually be IN the plant during its precisely timed distillation or they will fracture too soon to be of therapeutic use. Exploring sources of supply, once convinced of the purity, quality and service at Young Living, will probably take a backseat to exploring the use of therapeutic grade essential oils and their vast range of application for your own pleasure and comfort, if for no other reason.
