CONCENTRATION OF YOUNG LIVING OILS

by Frances Fuller

There was a question about the concentration of the Young Living oils, and I want to clarify . . .

·         PEPPERMINT:  1 drop of Young Living’s peppermint is equivalent to the amount of peppermint in over 20 cups of peppermint tea.  Peppermint is steam distilled as most true essential oils are.  This makes them incredibly concentrated.

·         LEMON:  1 drop of Young Living’s lemon is equivalent to the juice of 2 lemons and the nutrients therein.  Lemon is not a “true” essential oil as it is cold-pressed from the rind of the fruit rather than steam distilled.  The molecules are also slightly different from the molecules of lemon juice.  Young Living’s lemon essential oil contains over 90% limonene, which has been shown in laboratory research to destroy cancer cells without harming healthy cells.
