Hello Everyone!! This post is probably one of the most important ones you can read when getting started with Young Living Essential Oils!! In this post I will do a short introduction to each of the Everyday Use Oils included in the Premium Starter Kit. This of course is just the tip of the iceberg… Whenever you start looking into all of the amazing things each oil can do, and then try them, you will be speechless.
I am going to start with the most popular oil.. Lavender.
When in question about which oil to use, always go with Lavender. This oil is good for so many things:
