Young Living Company was started in 1989 in Spokane, Washington, by Gary Young. With his background and experience in Agriculture, on a small piece of land just about quarter acre, he grew Lavender and some other herbs.

He built a make shift distiller, by joining two pressure cookers with a brass pipe. Once the crop matured he processed it in his distiller and this yielded the first batch of the Company’s therapeutic oil!! This was the humble beginning of the Young Living Company.

They decided to purchase land in St Maries Idaho to grow Lavender and other aromatic plants and also built a low pressure low temperature distillation plant. Gradually they grew the production of Lavender and other plants and also installed many more distillation boilers. Some land was also purchased in France.

In 2003, Corporate office was opened in Lehi, Utah. The Company also has offices in Europe, Japan and Australia.

The Company maintains required quality of its products as it grows plants and herbs, basic essential ingredients on its own land. Distilling process is also very important. Gentle, under controlled pressure and temperature distilling is followed. Thorough testing helps in quality control.

The Company’s items include-

Essential Oils that can be used aromatically and applied or taken internally. There are over 130 different essential oils and oil blends.

Essential Nutrition: These are oils which go well with the quality foods and provide needed nutrients to the body.

Essential living items: These are very useful for overall health and include hair care, oral hygiene, skin care and bath etc.

You can become part of Young Living Family and market their products, if you want to have good health and also make some money. The Company prefers relationship marketing ie by word of mouth. It is also possible to become a distributor of Company’s products.

In conclusion, Young Living is a legitimate business that has been on the scene for sometime now. That being said, it is still a MLM or multi level marketing opportunity. With a MLM you are typically encouraged to start prospecting within your family and friends and often asked to attend hotel meetings. You may also be encouraged to have meetings in your home to promote the opportunity or the products. It is up to you to determine if you see yourself working within this type of system.”

As always, Good Luck out There!
