Young Living Essential Oils...

We are aware of only two essential oil companies in the U.S. that use the proper machinery and test standards to accurately detect whether an oil is truly therapeutic grade; Flora Research and Young Living Essential Oils. They are the only ones that have seriously adopted European testing standards (the gold standard for testing oils). Most labs use equipment that is good only for synthetic chemicals, not essential oil analysis, and AFNOR is actually a European company rather than a governmental organization and does NOT certify authenticity. The AFNOR label unfortunately means nothing to the consumer as oils without it may be pure and oils with it may not be and everywhere in between. There is currently no essential oil certification agency for certifying therapeutic grade oils. Though the AFNOR testing standards are the European Gold Standard and it is important to have their seal on any testing lab, their seal on products nevertheless means little to the consumer.

Young Living Essential Oils (YLEO) has thus had independent laboratories either the Central Service Laboratory or the Albert Vielille Laboratory test batches of their oils by chemists who understand the complexities of testing therapeutic-grade essential oils in order to assure you of the quality of their oils.

I have been using YLEO for 9 years and can tell you that I have found no other comparison to the quality and energetic frequencies found in YLEO. There is something truly miraculous about them, and now that I understand essential oils more, I understand why. I have even had very powerful dreams about these oils that surprised me! Nothing suprises me more though then the constant miracles and essential oils benefits I receive from using YLEO &.

The Young Living Farms: control over quality

In order to bring you only the best quality essential oils, Young Living strives to control every phase of its organic herb production. And, while they have some agreements with third-party producers around the world, Young Living, from its inception, has chosen to do the bulk of the farming itself.

To that end, Young Living Essential Oils cultivates 1,700 acres of farm land in Idaho and Utah. It also has farms in France and Egypt. Recently Young Living also started a new 1,000-acre farm in Equador, at which they have already distilled 23 new oils, and where they have thousands of live Palo Santo trees, from which they are producing the frankincense of the Andies  a truly amazing and unique oil.

Gary Young is also looking at land in Peru and southern Colombia on which to establish other farms.

On these farms, the species of herbs grown is carefully selected, making sure that only those cultivars that produce the highest quality essential oil are used.

Plants are grown on virgin land, uncontaminated by chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides or herbicides, and away from pollution sources such as nuclear plants, factories, interstates, highways or heavily populated cities. An advanced mix of enzymes, trace minerals and organic bio-solids are used to build and maintain the soil, since plants lacking in certain minerals and nutrients yield oils low in therapeutic value.

And, land and crops are watered with mountain stream water, which is the best possible, because of its purity and high mineral content. (Municipality treated water, or secondary runoff water from residential and commercial areas, can introduce undesirable chemicals and residues into the plant and its essential oil.)

Distilling Young Living Essential Oils: In the traditional way, to preserve the quality of the oil

Because Young Living's distillation process takes place right on the farm where the herbs are grown, the herbs are distilled fresh. This is critical to the production of highest-quality oils, because the essential oils in the plants are very volatile, and any delay in distilling them means that precious oils are lost to evaporation. Before harvesting, highly skilled managers monitor the percentage of the plant in bloom, the time of day for cutting, the amount of glucose (or bric in the plant) and many other factors critical to top quality therapeutic-grade oil production.

Despite the cost, compared to the practices of commercial distillers, Young Living takes extraordinary pains to preserve all of the fragile aromatic constituents of its essential oils during the distillation process:

It's not hard to find cheaper essential oils, but you would have to travel the world over to find any that are even close to the quality of Young Living Essential Oils.
