I Nthe hustle and bustle of today’s world, people are in continuous pursuit of lifestyle handles for wellness and balance. Essential oils, often dubbed nature’s greatest gift, have been utilised for centuries due to their life-changing benefits and continue to be favoured up till today for boosting overall mental and physical well-being.

With a passionate commitment to empowering individual­s to whole-life wellness, Young Living is built on the foundation of pure, authentic essential oils. Regardless of age, occupation or location, every person can benefit from the incorporat­ion of essential oils in different aspects of one’s daily life.

Essential oils are absorbed via the skin and inhalation, and with that comes many kinds of applicatio­n methods based on the desired effect. They can be used as a single oil or as a blend of complement­ary oils to produce a synergisti­c effect.

Common applicatio­n practices include aromatic and topical applicatio­n. Diffusion is one of the simplest methods for using essential oils aromatical­ly. Also, essential oils can be applied topically to the skin using a variety of techniques as the skin can absorb the active compounds in essential oils to achieve a localised effect.

Simply relax and have some peace of mind by diffusing Harmony or Joy essential oil blends to promote a sense of warmth and harmonic balance to the well-being. Lavender with its soothing and refreshing aroma is a must-have for the perfect companion for a good night’s sleep, while Cedarwood gives a warm grounding aroma that promotes relaxation and ease of mind.
