I began using essential oils a couple years back after developing a fragrance allergy. Any perfumes that were added to shampoos, makeup, and other beauty product would leave me with an itchy rash. I was so frustrated with the rashes that I went fragrance-free cold turkey. I switched out all my make-up, lotions, shampoos, and conditioners. Although my rashes did clear up, I missed smelling “pretty”.
I already knew I had a sensitivity to chemicals from cleaning products I had used in the past. So after doing a little research I made the switch to using some Thieves products from Young Living. I had no allergy responses at all: I could breath it in without gagging, and i didn’t get rashes …even if I forgot to use gloves (which is pretty often…). I had an “aha” moment: if the Young Living cleaning products don’t bother me, maybe I could also use the essential oils since the ingredients are from nature.
You don’t realize how boring fragrance-free is until you have to give up all fragrances. I was optimistic that these would bring some scent back into my life. Sure enough when I got my essential oils I had no reactions whatsoever.* Life smelled good once again!

WHY YOUNG LIVING?
I decided on Young Living Essential Oils after doing a bit of research:
1. Seed to Seal promise:
2. Source Matters
To ensure the purity of their oils, the team at Young Living set the highest standards for planting, harvesting, and distilling on the farms they own and co-op. If I’m going to be putting product on my family’s skin and around our home, I want to know they’re of the purest source.
3. Time Tested
I also love the History behind Essential Oils (nerdy history major here :)). Essential oils align perfectly with my beliefs about food: trust what worked for your ancestors, and if it didn’t make them sick…
4. Dietary Essential Oils
As a recipe developer, I was so excited to see that Young Living has an FDA approved line of food grade oils!
I am learning new uses for essential oils everyday. I’ll be sharing with you recipes, ideas, and information here on PrimalDish. Join me on my Essential Oils journey!
