What is Young Living Essential Oils?

Compounds taken from plants make up Young Living Essential Oils. The oils capture the aroma and flavor of the plant or its “essence.” Each Young Living Essential Oil has its distinct aroma, thanks to its unique aromatic components.

Some plant compounds are absorbed when applied to the skin.

Certain application methods, such as applying with heat or to diverse parts of the body, are thought to increase absorption. However, there is a scarcity of studies in this field.

Inhaling Young Living Essential Oils’ scents can trigger sections of your limbic system, which is a component of your brain that controls emotions, actions, smell, and long-term memory.

Surprisingly, the limbic system plays a significant role in memory formation. This may help to explain why certain scents can elicit memories or emotions. The limbic system is also involved in the control of a number of unconscious physiological activities, including respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure. As a result, some people believe Young Living Essential Oils have a physical effect on the body.
