Essential Oil Learning Resources

Several highly useful essential oil learning resources are available to help you feel comfortable in working with oils. What is taught in these resources is pertinent to Young Living oils which are of very high therapeutic-grade quality. These resources do not apply to adulterated oils or those which have been distilled using chemicals or even those which have not been distilled at the right temperature and pressure in order to pull out the maximum number of chemical constituents.

Where Can I Learn About Essential Oils?

1) Link to a website with Transcripts from Young Living Training Tapes.

Good starting transcripts would be #86 "Essential Oils: Back to the Basics" and the one at the very bottom called “The Missing Link.” Tape numbers 66-69 are some of my favorites.


2) An outstanding free e-newsletter (Raindrop Messenger) is available from the CARE (Center for Aromatherapy Research and Education, Inc.) website. To subscribe click here:
Raindrop Messenger

Most of the articles are written by David Stewart, author of the books Healing Oils Of The Bible and Chemistry Of Essential Oils Made Simple. In the newsletter archive are several excellent past articles such as:

"Essential Oils Then and Now"

“Oils for things that bug you ”

“Why Oils Heal and Drugs Don’t”

“Shelf Life for Essential Oils”

“Sensitivities to Essential Oils”

How do I Know What Essential Oils or Supplements to use for Myself?

You can do your own research by studying the following resources:

1) The Essential Oils Desk Reference (EODR) is the standard book for knowing what to start with. The information is specific to Young Living oils. I would recommend getting the EODR along with the pocket reference book ($59 + shipping/handling). The pocket reference is a handy resource when traveling and you don’t want to take the large book. You may also buy just one or the other. They are available at:

Essential Science Publishing
1-800-336-6308

Click on “View Our Product Categories” (or View Products – upper right), then Essential oil books (left side), Scroll down until you find the options for the EODR.

The EODR is also available through Amazon although the pocket reference is not. Essential Oils Desk Reference

2) James Niederland has done such a great job on his site in giving information on products that here is a link to his information.
Young Living Product Information

3) Ideas of what others have done for certain ailments are found at this on-line searchable database of Young Living product testimonials. Once there, click on the search button at the top, type in a keyword relating to the type of problem you want, hit search and then browse through the listings. The option to e-mail each one to yourself or to another person is also available.
