Young Living vs. doTERRA
I
love essential oils and I’m happy to use them as a part of my family’s everyday
lifestyle as well as share my experiences with others. Unfortunately, I get asked a
lot of questions on WHY I chose Young Living over doTERRA. You’ll never find me
posting about another brand or company besides comparisons such as this but I have a passion about Young Living. I prefer to focus on what I use and why I use them the way I do rather than soley compare company brands. That being said, I wanted to take the opportunity to answer the
most popular questions I get asked; “Why I chose Young Living” and “Why I
recommend only Young Living”.
When
I was first introduced to essential oils, I didn’t think a lot into them. I liked the idea but felt overwhelmed with the entire process of getting the oils and I didn’t know
where to begin to look. I made a promise to myself when I left my parents nest
and went off to college over 5 years ago that I would never make large purchases without doing
adequate research first. As a college student, Young Living was a large purchase to me. I was introduced to Young Living by a close friend at
the time, so I was hesitant to hurt her feelings by telling her I wanted to do
more research. Some people just take it personal but for me, essential oils
were going to become a part of my life, diet and way of living. I wanted to
ensure the investment I made was one I looked into thoroughly.
The
key points I found in my research that made me decide “I want to use Young
Living” are as follows:
-Young
Living has been around for over 20 years, really structuring the path for high
quality essential oils- and they have proof to show it. I believe they are an honest company with quality
products that I couldn’t say about a few of the other companies I researched. Every company has downfalls, but Young Living has proved to be innovative and growing in all the right directions.
-Young
Living owns many of their own farms and pays extraordinary attention to the
quality of soil fertility, proper distillation, purity and more. They are also highly involved in the process on the farms that they do not own.
-Young
Living can be used as a business (like doTERRA) but it doesn’t require you to have
your own business. You can be a 'retail customer' or simply become a 'wholesale member'. Both accounts are set up just like any other retail website you purchase from online. Retail members log in and order what they want just as wholesale members do. The only difference, wholesale members receive the same discount as
those who have a business (24% off everything). I love the 'no strings attached' kind of memberships!
-That
leads me to the next reason, Seed to Seal. Young Living has made it their key
priority to follow their coined Seed to Seal process. The 5-step process is Seed,
Cultivate, Distill, Test and Seal. From the moment the seed is sourced until the
oil is sealed in the bottle, Young Living applies demanding quality controls to
guarantee each bottle of essential oil is “exactly the way nature intended”. If
there is one thing you specifically research about Young Living, I suggest it be the Seed to Seal process!
-Young
Living products are amazing. I love their oils and many of their other
products. The results our family has received has validated the research I did before investing. That alone is why I enjoy sharing Young Living with others. I truely believe the oils will sell themselves once you use them.
Before
you head out to ponder about this blog and do some research for yourself,
answer these questions: Why are you reaching out for information? What is
important to you in a product? What is important to you in a company? Write
down your answers. When you do research, refer back to your questions and what
is important to you. Make sure the companies you are wanting to be a part of meet some of the same standards you have for your family. The research will do the rest.
Well,
that’s my peace saying. I wish you all the best of luck on your essential oil
journey whichever it may be. If there are any questions or comments you’d like
to share with me, feel free to reach out. I would love to hear your opinion and
help in any way possible. Happy Oiling!
