Young Living Essential Oils
History of Young Living Essential Oils ~
In 1989, from the humblest of beginnings, Gary Young started what would become the world's leading essential oil company on a one-quarter acre farm in Spokane, Washington.
On this small plot of ground, Gary Young carefully cultivated lavender and other various herbs; with his background in agriculture, the growing season soon produced a robust, healthy crop. Toward the end of the season, Gary built his first distiller by welding two pressure cookers together with a swan neck copper pipe. It was placed on the kitchen countertop, and the water for the cooler came from the kitchen sink. This yielded Young Living Essential Oils' first tiny batch of therapeutic-grade essential oils.
Gary Young and his wife Mary wanted to share their love of essential oils and their potential with everyone they met. In fact, it has been Gary's mission from the start to share essential oils with the entire world. To that end, Young Living Essential Oils was born. The first office in Riverton, Utah, was a dingy, flat-roofed building built in the 1970s. It had been most recently occupied by a small church congregation and was a quarter inch short of being condemned. Repairs and refinishing were undertaken simultaneously with the demanding activity of running a business. While Gary and Mary traveled and spread the word of natural health, a few employees did their best to support the growing demand for their excellent products.
Gary Young and his company, Young Living Essential Oils, purchased land in the pristine forests of St. Maries, Idaho, to expand the acreage available for growing aromatic plants, particularly lavender. The first stationary distiller was built at St. Maries and incorporated Gary Young's pioneering research in low-pressure, low-temperature distillation. The yield of therapeutic-grade essential oils was substantially increased each successive year. The first distiller at St. Maries had a boiler capacity of just over 3,000 liters. Within four years and the addition of six more boilers, the capacity totaled over 34,000 liters!
Additional land was purchased in Mona, Utah, and Simiane-La-Rotonde, France, totaling over 2,000 acres devoted solely to the production of lavender and other aromatic herbs, thus making Young Living's farms the largest devoted to that purpose in North America and possibly the world. Fourteen boilers were built at the Mona site, which quickly became the main center of farming operations. Combined with St. Maries, the Young Living Lavender Farms own a total of over twelve distillers with boiler capacity over 115,400 liters.
The office in Riverton was quickly outgrown, affecting the move to Payson, Utah, into an old renovated schoolhouse. This drafty, brick building housed the company during several of its early growth years.

In 2003, the Lehi corporate office was opened and is the current world headquarters. Young Living Essential Oils' quest for high-quality, effective products, our generous compensation plan, and the unfailing emphasis on education has led us to be one of the fastest-growing companies in the nutraceutical industry and by far the largest supplier of therapeutic-grade essential oils.
Currently, there are offices in Australia, Japan, and Europe with burgeoning distributor communities in Canada and South America. Young Living recently opened an office and warehouse in Great Britain to supply the needs of our European community.

Essential Oils:
Freshly cultivated and steam distilled, the essential oils in Young Living's collection are life-enhancing gifts from the plant kingdom, revered for centuries for their restorative properties to body, mind, and spirit. Pure essential oils now re-emerge as a key solution to the challenges facing modern lifestyles. Superior to all other supplements, Young Living's therapeutic-grade essential oils deliver positive benefits to the body through smell, direct absorption into the skin, and by normal digestive processes. Cleansing, calming, stimulating, soothing, Young Living's essential oils bring balance to all systems of the body.
Young Living Essential Oils sells food and dietary supplements of the highest quality that are enriched with therapeutic-grade essential oils such as lavender. One of the greatest threats to health in our fast-paced society is the highly processed, chemical-, fat-, and sugar-laden foods eaten on a daily basis. A great need of the modern world is convenience foods rich in nutrition. Young Living Essential Oils creates food products similar to those eaten by people who live to an old age, while remaining healthy, alert, and self-sufficient. All food products contain nutrient-dense, natural, whole ingredients and are free of sugars and artificial sweeteners. Gary Young, founder of Young Living Essential Oils, discovered in clinical practice while doing bacteriology studies with the blood that there was a substantial amount of undigested protein in the blood serum that could not penetrate the cell membrane because of low oxygen levels. When he enhanced foods and supplements with essential oils, he did not detect any undigested food in the blood. He also discovered that supplements enhanced with essential oils increase the absorption of food nutrients and aid in the detoxification of the body.
