‘It’s not unusual to be loved by anyone?” Why these words popped into my thoughts when I began this article, I don’t know, but love is one way one can have anxiety and Tom Jones’ song, “It’s Not Unusual” does reflect in its lyrics how love can cause anxiety.
Better to not have anxiety, but most likely in our lives and any love situation, anxiety does come about. Be it from, jealousy, dishonesty, health issues, financial, children, or family circumstances.
There are many different ways to help with our anxiety and to feel better, and I am only going to be touching on how Young Living essential oils may help you to feel relief from the anxious feeling you encounter in life. Great news too, these essential oils not only may help you and others, but also any anxious pets you may have, they are undoubtedly pure and medicinal. One little bottle will last for an insane amount of years.
Listen up hear, it is extremely important that you come to understand quality is tremendously important when using essential oils. Why? Because if they aren’t quality, than they won’t give you good results and could be harmful. Off topic, but you to need to know.
Young Living strives to bring natures living energy by using the Seed to Seal process:
Seed: Potent essential oils come from plant species that have been authenticated by Young Living experts. Species certification involves scientific research, field study, university partnerships, and on-site planting certification.
Cultivation: Through cultivation on the four Young Living farms, Young Living Essential Oils has mastered the creation of pure, potent essential oils. The company takes this knowledge around the world to co-op farms to certify that these farms’ growing processes meet Young Living’s strict quality standards.
Distill: Young Living’s proprietary low-temperature, low-pressure steam distillation process ensures that the beneficial plant compounds in every batch of essential oil remain uncompromised during the extraction process.
Test: Each essential oil must pass Young Living’s stringent testing to ensure the optimal bio active natural compounds are present. Young Living uses its own internal labs, in addition to third-party audits, to verify that international purity and potency standards are met and surpassed.
Seal: Young Living completes the Seed to Seal process by carefully sealing each bottle of essential oil before shipping them to members worldwide.
Plants – Preparation – Purity – Potency
Be sure you know the company you buy from. Do they have:
- Their own farms
- Grow their own crops
- Harvest their own crops
- Distill their own crops
- A laboratory for testing the oils
- Test the oils with high-tech equipment
- Have a working association with other laboratories that have the same equipment to give truthful, third-party verification that is not found in the essential oil industry in America, except at Young Living.

All of the above singles or blends may be applied and used in the following ways:
Foot application:
The first place to apply the essential oil is to the bottoms of your feet. Before you put your shoes on for the day, take a moment to first drop 1-2 drops of the essential oil and about 1/8 teaspoon of V6 carrier oil, or a vegetable oil such as olive oil, onto the palm of your hand, stir three times in a clock wise motion, and then apply to the bottoms of your feet. Why stir? To get the energy flowing even more in the essential oil. Essential oils are FULL of beautiful energy.
With the remainder of the scent that is on your hands, cup your hands over your nose and take several nice long deep inhalations. (Be mindful to not touch your face with your hands, just cup your hands about an inch away from your nose and face.)
When essential oils are applied to the bottoms of the feet the essential oil passes easily through our skin and cell membranes within 20 minutes.
According to researcher Jean Valnet, M.D., an essential oil that is directly applied to the skin can pass into the bloodstream and diffuse throughout the tissues in 20 minutes or less [all the more reason why you want to know your essential oil is the purest, as are Young Living Essential oils.
Diffusing
You can also put 5-10 drops of the essential oil in a diffuser to diffuse in your environment. The bonus by doing this is not only may it help you to feel more joyful, less anxious and happy, but anyone else that is around may feel better too.
When diffusing essential oils the essential oil is in the air, and you are breathing in the tiny molecules of essential oil and this effect may help to balance your moods.
In a cold air nebulizer diffuser start by diffusing your Young Living essential oils for 15-30 minutes, one to four times a day for normal situations. Place the nebulizer diffuser higher in the room (a shelf, bar, or fireplace mantle are good choices) so that the essential oil mist has a longer distance to fall through the air. (Read more on diffusing.)
The natural properties found in Young Living essential oils produce a soothing, uplifting effect on the mind and emotions. When an essential oil containing the optimum level of therapeutic constituents is diffused, the result fosters a sense of emotional balance and well-being.
When the aroma of essential oils are inhaled, the scent travels to the reticular system of the brain stem where emotions and memories are connected. This enables essential oils to improve emotional wellness in many ways.
Perfume or Cologne
Put a drop of essential oil into the palm of your hand and dab the oil on your pulse points just like you would do with a perfume, and then run your hands over your hair and body. Lastly cup your hands over your nose and take several nice long deep inhalations. (Be mindful to not touch your face with your hands, just cup your hands about an inch away from your nose and face.)
Aromatherapy, or essential oils, are helpful in elevating and balancing moods. Nature has many answers for problems and balancing out emotions is one of them. Therapeutic grade essential oils carry the “life force” of the plant and they offer the plant’s vibrancy and normalizing effects.
The fragrance of an essential oil can directly affect everything from your emotional state to your lifespan. Essential oils work differently than any other natural substance.
The natural properties found in Young Living essential oils produce a soothing, uplifting effect on the mind and emotions. When an essential oil containing the optimum level of therapeutic constituents is inhaled, the result fosters a sense of emotional balance and well-being.
CAUTION: NEVER take other brands of essential oils internally, only Young Living Essential Oils are superior enough in quality to be taken internally. There is one rule of thumb you can use to determine if the brand of essential oil you’re buying or using is superior quality; look at the label, if an edible plant such as lavender, lemon, orange, grapefruit, oregano, thyme, frankincense, ylang ylang, etc. state that the essential oil is “Not for Internal Use” then you can be 100% certain that the essential oil is NOT superior quality. Only 2% of all essential oils in the world are superior quality, Young Living makes up almost all of that 2% – so don’t be fooled by labels saying their oils are pure or organic as those terms do NOT indicate if it is a superior quality essential oil.
