Cost Comparison for Young Living Essential Oils

A lot of people are curious about the cost of Young Living Essential Oils. When you are a member (see my note at the end), the wholesale cost of oils range from $11.00 up to $100 per bottle.  There are a couple things I would like to say in regards to the cost of oils.

First, there are many companies selling essential oils.  The difference between other companies and Young Living is the quality.  YL oils are safe to apply on your skin and ingest... something most of the other companies cannot offer.  YL owns many of the farms where the plants are grown as well as the distilleries where the oil is made.  Because of this YL guarantees the quality from "seed to seal" ( YL oversees the whole operation from planting the seeds to harvesting and bottling the oils) not to mention the tests that are conducted on all the oils to guarantee their quality.

Second, when you purchase YL essential oils, you have to think of it as buying in bulk.  Most oils come in 15ml bottles which contains approximately 275 drops.  In most instances you will use 1-3 drops per application so you are getting a lot of use out of one bottle.  When you consider what you spend on over the counter medications you are most likely going to save money with essential oils because each oil has so many uses.  Example: Peppermint oil is excellent for headaches, calming upset stomach, sinus congestion, relieving muscle pain plus much more.  When you add up OTC medications for each of these symptoms it will quickly add up to more than the $21.50 you would spend on a bottle of peppermint oil.  

In the past year I have found that I would rather spend money to prevent illness or fight it naturally than rely on medication.  If you have any questions about the cost of the oils or anything else related to Young Living let me know :)     ~Cassie~
