Small Changes, Big Impact
We are all well aware by now that most household cleaners have very long list of harsh chemicals on their ingredients label, a lot of which have not been tested for safety. Many commercial cleaners contain ingredients that are endocrine disrupting chemicals, carcinogens, or neurotoxins, all of which may contribute to serious health concerns. Why use products that suggests you keep out of reach of your children? Household cleaning supplies are one of the top five substance classes accounting for calls to the National Poison Control Center. Over the past several decades, our exposure to chemicals has continued to grow and is proving to be extremely hazardous to our health. We can take control and empower ourselves to become the gatekeepers of our homes, and let's begin by looking inside the four walls of your home. Take a look at the products you are currently using; read labels, do your own research and compare ingredients.
Did you know that harsh chemicals found in cleaners are not only harmful to our bodies, but they also have a major impact on the environment and are huge contributors to environmental pollution. Some conventional cleaning products contain ingredients that are non-biodegradable, and from non-renewable resources like petroleum, which harms the Earth's ecosystems. Harsh chemicals may contaminate the water through rivers, streams, and lakes, which affects wildlife, plants, trees, and us!
Today we are going to focus on how to improve the balance of your home and ensure that you are gaining the knowledge you need to make the best decision for your family, and the environment.
So how can you find a cleaning solution that doesn't contain those nasty chemicals?
The answer is in plant-based ingredients! You won't likely find them on the shelves at the super market, you literally have to go straight to the source.. Young Living's Thieves Household Cleaner is a plant based all-purpose cleaner that is great for every surface imaginable. Get a deep clean when scrubbing; it's great for degreasing, surface cleaning, and spot treating… all without harsh chemicals. Young Living actually has an entire line of Thieves products such as a foaming hand soap, a whitening toothpaste, fruit and veggie soak , dishwasher soap, laundry detergent and more.... The BEST part of the Thieves line of products... they are safe for you and your entire family (including your four legged family members!)
Young Living achieves their pure cleaning solution with essential oils. Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that are carefully obtained through steam distillation, cold pressing or resin tapping. Young Living’s 700+ products are Seed to Seal certified; which means that products are genuine, and free from anything synthetic. They will always come with unmatched purity. Labels usually don’t list ingredients, but with Young Living you always know exactly what you are getting…and that is... only the Very Best!
Lavender Farms Purity Personal Testimonial
When I say you have to go straight to the source, I mean you literally can go straight to the source! Now, I'm a city girl.. so when I heard we were going to a farm in Utah.. well, let's just say.. I wasn't too excited about that. However, as I walked through the gates of the Lavender farm in Mona, Utah and I saw the beautiful landscape and began to breathe in the beauty of it... it was life-changing. Here are 3 things I learned about Young Living as I was visiting the beautiful Lavender farm.
1. Young Living absolutely puts their emphasis on using the highest quality seeds that are going to yield the plants that have the greatest health benefits for you and I. Young Living does their research and they focus on those seeds before they are ever planted in the ground. I love that the whole process of insuring that we have the very best... begins with the seeds.
2. Secondly, their integrity to nurture, and protect the plants... They are really focused on the health of the plants and they do things that most other companies will not do... For example, they hand weed the plants, (they will remove any weeds by hand or by steam); but there is never any pesticides or chemicals used EVER! They really focus on the overall health of the plant and that includes how they speak to the plants. For example, there is a plant and her name is Melissa and when you are around Melissa - she prefers that you speak in a soft, loving voice, and just so you know.... she loves classical music! That's how much time and effort that Young Living puts in to really know and understand the plants.
3. Thirdly, when you go to the Lavender farm, you can talk to any employee. They are out in the open working the fields, taking care of the animals and are always happy to take the time to talk to you. And when you do... here are some things you are going to hear....
I love working for Young Living; I love my job (now how many people do you know that say that?) or I love that Young Living gives us the freedom to do the work that means so much to us. The employees can actually do the job they want to do. You can feel that their work is meaningful to them and they feel the importance of the work that they do. They feel appreciated and valued; and to me that transcends a job.
To me when I open up a bottle of an essential oil and I breathe in that aroma.... you can actually feel the love... from which that bottle of oil was created. So when I attended the Young Living Convention, and the Lavender farm... I can honestly say that I knew that there was something very special not only about the farm... but also about Young Living, the company. We attend the Young Living convention every year and will not miss the opportunity to breathe in the beautiful landscape and aroma of the Lavender farm. It is very special to John and I and once you go there... you will want to go back!
I'm often asked... is there really a BIG difference? The answer is YES! I know the source of Young Living's products and because of its quality and purity, the amount of product we use to get results... is considerably less. There's a saying that I like to say about Young Living products and that is..." a little goes a long, long way."
Young Living is completely committed to processes that protect our planet and ensure the highest quality standards. They create all of their products with conscientious Sourcing, Science, and Standards—the three pillars of Seed to Seal.
