How To Use Your Young Living Premium Starter Kit

You made the best decision and ordered your Young Living Premium Starter Kit. The wait is over and that beautiful package just arrived, but where do you begin?

First, I recommend smelling all of the oils! Remember the oils are highly concentrated since they’re pure and undiluted. They will smell stronger in the bottle. Warning, Digize is an amazing blend for supporting the digestive system, but it’s not my favorite smell.

You probably notice that some of your oils have a white label. These are vitality oils. They have the FDA stamp of approval for ingestion. All of the vitality oils are safe to add to beverages, your favorite dishes or can be added to a vegetable capsule when your body needs extra support. Here’s a fun fact, the only difference between vitality oils and non-vitality oils is the label. The bottles contain the exact same oil.

One of my favorite things that comes in the kit is the beautiful diffuser. You’re going to get so much use out of this beauty. It’s so easy to use and can run up to ten hours! Just fill with water up to the line or red indicator depending on which diffuser you chose and add a few drops of oil. I recommend starting with 5-6 drops. If that’s too much for you you can always cut back. Since Young Living oils are pure oil a little goes a long way! Diffusing oils is a great way to get sleep support, clean and purify the air, and will make any room smell amazing! Your diffuser will quickly replace your scented candles. You won’t miss the toxic fragrances after smelling pure essential oils. Click here to see a video on how to use your desert mist diffuser.

Your kit came with two packets of Ningxia Red. This is the highest antioxidant drink on the market. It’s recommended to take 1-2 ounces a day. One ounce has the antioxidant power of 814 blueberries, 100 oranges, 22 medium carrots, 10 pounds of spinach, or 93 apples. This stuff tastes so good, gives you natural energy and blasts your body with antioxidants. It’s best cold so pop those packets into the refrigerator! Think of it as an adult juice box. My entire family loves this supplement.

Thieves Spray is great because it’s small enough to carry in your bag. It’s great for cleaning small spaces when you’re out and about. Think shopping carts, tables, seats etc. I’ve even sprayed it on my hands if I am without hand sanitizer.

Speaking of hand sanitizer, you also received a bottle of Thieves Hand Sanitizer. This stuff is awesome because it disinfects without drying out your hands.

Two silver rollerball fitments also came in your kit. These will fit right on top of any of your oils. To use, just pop out the clear white top from your oil bottle and push the roller fitment in its place. This is a great way to easily apply oils. I recommend putting it on Panaway or Stress Away.
