Chris Santelli introduced us today to Chelsea Young, a representative for Young Living Essential Oils.  Chelsea in turn introduced us to some of Young Living’s products.  Chelsea and her family became aware of essential oils in 1996, when they were suffering from severe seasonal discomfort – watery eyes, sneezing all the time, scratchy throat.  At age 9, Chelsea was put on weekly allergy shots.  Her mother was put on prednisone, and suffered side effects of that.  On top of allergies, they would suffer bronchitis, flu, etc, and the medicines were not effective.
   After several years of suffering through these seasonal issues, they were at the point where they would try anything to get relief.  Chelsea’s aunt had been using Young Living products for about a year, and suggested that they try them.  They did and within a few weeks they were feeling better.  In the 19 years since, Chelsea says she hasn’t taken any medications.
 
   An essential oil is a concentrated oil containing the aroma compounds of a plant.  The oil is “essential” in that it contains the “essence of” the plant’s fragrance – the characteristic fragrance of the plant it came from.  They are extracted by distillation using steam and are then used topically or by diffusion.
   Different essential oils are used for different health issues.  Chelsea brought a sampler package with her and passed around many of the oils available through her company.  We got to sample peppermint, thieves, frankincense, lavender, lemon, and others.  Some of our members have used these products before and shared some of their experiences with them. 
   It was a lively discussion, and the room smelled great!  Chelsea was very excited about the products and gave us a lot of information about the different oils.  If you would like more information about Young Living Essential Oils, Chelsea would be happy to talk with you.  She can be reached at (315)945-7279, by email at younglivingchelsea@yahoo.com or online at www.ylwebsite.com/chelseayoung
