Lavender Signature Series

Lavender essential oil has been beloved and treasured for thousands of years as one of nature’s greatest gift for healing. Recorded usage of lavender dates back to Biblical times where it was used for bathing as well as a key ingredient in many of the most effective remedies of that time. In e late 1900s, Rene Maurice Gattefosse, a French chemist and perfumer, discovered the amazing skin benefits of lavender oil after using it to treat his severely burned hand, which was healed completely without any trace of an infection or scar. Today, lavender essential oil is used in many skin care products, however, companies dilute the oil, or use synthetically altered versions. The products in Young Living’s Lavender Signature Series contain only the finest therapeutic-grade lavender essential oil, ensuring the maximum benefits of lavender oil are delivered.

Along with adding lavender essential oil to each product in this collection, great care has been taken to create all-natural and eco-friendly formulations, by ensuring that every ingredient used comes from sustainable sources. Lavender Hand & Body Lotion and Lavender Bath & Shower Gel also utilize a unique plant-based preservative system that is completely all-natural and free of synthetic components, which can be irritating to the skin.

Plants contain complex and powerful substances known as essential oils. These are aromatic liquids derived from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds. These distinctive components defend plants from insects, harsh environmental conditions, and disease. They are also vital for a plant to grow, live, evolve, and adapt to its surroundings. Referred to as the essence of the plant, pure essential oils not only protect the plant but also determine its aroma.

Essential Oils have been used throughout time dating back to 4500BC. From perfumes and aromatherapy to cooking and medicinal purposes, essential oils have been used in everyday life for centuries. In modern days, research shows that pure essential oils can provide similar benefits to humans and animals that they give to plants.

Importance of Quality

Many oils, touted as essential oils, are derived with harsh chemicals, diluted, or copied and produced in a lab. Cheap copies bring cheap results and have the potential to be toxic. Therefore, it is imperative to take great care in choosing high-quality essential oils.

Therapeutic-grade: the Young Living Standard 

There is a significant difference between essential oils that simply smell good and those that are therapeutic-grade.

Independent laboratory testing proves that Young Living essential oils meet and often exceed industry requirements. This standard is known as “Therapeutic-grade”. In order to achieve therapeutic-grade classification, each essential oil must achieve the designation naturally, without excess manipulation and refinement, and meet specific criteria in four key areas: Plants, Preparation, Purity and Potency

Three Simple Ways to Enjoy the Benefits of Essential Oils

 Breathe deeply - Put a few drops of Essential Oils on your hands and breathe in the scent for several minutes. You will add oxygenating, nourishing molecules to your body and allow the scent to soothe your emotions. Diffusing oils into the air of your home or office can further multiply the effects by killing the germs in the air you breathe.

Topical application of oils on your body - Your skin is the largest organ in your body. Whether you rub on your skin penetrates deeply into the cells of your body within minutes. Are you suffering from discomfort in your muscles and bones? Reparatory congestion? Plugged by allergies? Apply essential oils for deep relief.

Ingest Internally - There is a significant difference between oils that simply smell good and those that are therapeutic-grade. Only therapeutic-grade oils can be taken internally. Need a boost of energy? Enjoy a drop of peppermint oil in a glass of water. Suffering from a sore throat? Add a drop of Thieves blend to a spoonful of honey and let it soothe your throat. Desperate for a good night’s sleep? Put a drop or two of lavender oil in rice milk and enjoy peaceful rest.
