Essential Oils on a Budget
Throughout this class we will break down how cost effective essential oils and oil-infused products are by teaching you the many ways they can be used in your home. You'll also get some ‘product hacks’ to stretch those drops and dollars even further!
Safety & Usage
Let's start off by looking at the ways you can use the oils and supplements in this class.
AROMATICALLY: Put 6-8 drops of an essential oil or a combo in your diffuser. The diffuser will send the oil into the air and fill the room with the scent and beneficial properties of the oils.
TOPICALLY: Apply essential oils to your skin. Dilute your oils with a carrier oil if using topically, especially if you’ve never used them before. It is recommended that you use one drop of essential oil with 10-15 drops of coconut, olive, or almond oil and then apply it to your skin. Citrus oils like Lemon are photosensitive. Please avoid sun exposure for 12 hours after application to areas where you have applied citrus oils topically. Avoid putting essentials oils in the eyes or ears directly.
INTERNALLY: Young Living oils are pure and are labeled as Generally Regarded as Safe by the Food and Drug Administration. Because of their purity, some people like to ingest their oils to avoid "smelling" like an oil, or to support their body from the inside out. Oils that are safe for ingestion carry our Vitality Oil label.
SUPPLEMENTS: Follow the directions on each individual supplement package for proper safety and usage.
Purity is EXTREMELY important when it comes to wellness products. When you use products that are pure, you will have more effective results. Products that are formulated with synthetic ingredients may not provide any results and can potentially cause damage to your body. Young Living goes above and beyond organic standards to provide natural products that work. YL farms on land without the use of pesticides, hand weeds their fields, and tests their essential oils multiple times in million-dollar labs to provide products with the purest and highest quality chemical constituents. If a batch doesn't meet these HIGH standards, YL will not bottle it up and send it to you.

Oils Are Too Expensive
How many times have you heard someone say this?
Let’s be real for a minute . . . Rose essential oil COULD be considered expensive at almost $2 a drop... BUT... if you were just using one drop a day, and it was working with your body to regulate and balance hormone production, promote healthy skin, aid in the body’s natural detoxification processes, spice things up in the bedroom, boost feelings of confidence and self-esteem, along with countless other benefits that I can’t specifically mention (but you can research for yourself), would you still consider it to be too expensive?
Incorporating essential oils and oil- infused products into your daily routine is all about making better choices. We will spend our money on the things that we feel are valuable, regardless of cost. How much value do you put on feeling and looking amazing?
I challenge you to take a good, hard look at what you may be spending $2 on every day. Every choice you make when it comes to your wellness is either fighting disease or contributing to it. That being said, you can start to support your wellness and fight disease for way less than $2 a day! What if I told you it could be done for just pennies?
Young Living has over 50 oils that cost $20 or less per bottle! Let’s take a closer look at some of these oils and learn how we can put them to good use. These prices reflect the wholesale cost, which is what you pay as a YL member.
Spotlight Singles Under $20
Clove 15ml - $16.50 = $.07 (7 cents) per drop
Clove Vitality 5 ml - $7.75 = $.10 per drop
Clove Vitality essential oil supports the immune system and is essential for promoting healthy teeth and gums. It can also be used to support the circulatory system and healthy blood flow.
Place a few drops on a wet cloth and place over the forehead and temples to relieve tension or the back of the neck to soothe sore muscles.
Eliminate unpleasant odors when cooking by diffusing.
Add a drop of Clove Vitality to your favorite dish for an extra boost of flavor.
Dilute a drop and rub along your teething toddler’s gums to find relief.
Cedarwood 15 ml - $12.00 = $.05 per drop
A natural deodorizer. Use to freshen the air in your home while creating a calmer and more relaxing environment. It also stimulates the pineal gland, which releases melatonin, and I think you can guess what this is good for - SLEEP!
Diffuse 4-6 drops at night or add one drop to the bottom of each foot for a more restful night’s sleep.
Add 20 drops to your shampoo/ conditioner bottles for healthier, shinier hair.
Add 20 drops to a 2oz. spray bottle of water and spray on clothes and skin to keep your outdoor time annoyance-free. Mix with Lemongrass, Clove, and/or Citronella (which is also just $20!) for added benefit.

Apply 1-2 drops to tired muscles after a workout or to tired feet after a long, exhausting day.
Add 1-2 drops to your cleanser or moisturizer to help purify the skin to help cleanse.
Science Note: One drop of essential oil can contain hundreds of different compounds that all serve different purposes. Do a quick Google search on the terpene properties of Lemongrass essential oil and prepare to be amazed.
Spotlight Blends Under $20
R.C. 5 ml - $11.00 = $.14 per drop
Relax, revitalize, rejuvenate, and refresh all from one bottle! An affordable blend of 10 essential oils you need in your collection.
Apply a drop of R.C. to your chest and wrists every morning for an energizing and uplifting start to your day.
Put a couple drops of R.C. in the diffuser to clear the air and make your space more comfortable when it’s humid or when the room feels stuffy.
Keep this one stocked in your wellness cabinet by ordering one a month throughout the year so you have enough on hand for the winter months to keep everyone breathing easy.
Purification 5 ml - $16.50 = $.20 per drop
Ditch the harsh, chemical-based sprays and cleaning products from your home (which in the long run will save you money!) and make the switch to more natural alternatives.
Have laundry? Add a drop to your detergent, a couple drops to your wool dryer balls, and use in a spray bottle for an air and fabric refresher that is free of nasty “fragrance.”
Have pets? Make your own pet spray using a drop of Thieves Dish Soap or Castile soap, about 10-15 drops of Purification and ½ cup distilled water. Spray daily to help keep bugs and odors at bay.
Have kids? Create all natural odor- eater by placing a couple drops of Purification on cotton balls and placing them around the house where needed - garbage cans, inside shoes, bottom of the diaper pail, air vents, etc.
Christmas Spirit 5 ml - $11.00 = .14 per drop
With the combination of Orange, Cinnamon Bark, and Spruce, it will promote feelings of joy and peace. It’s worth using all year long!
Add 10 drops to the filter in your vacuum cleaner or combine with ½ cup of baking soda for a carpet refresher to keep your home smelling fresh.
Put a couple drops of Christmas Spirit on a cotton ball and place near doorways or on the patio for an annoyance-free outdoors experience.
Put a couple drops of Christmas Spirit on your wool dryer balls to carry that Christmas spirit with you.
NOTE: You absorb everything from your clothes into your skin and into your bloodstream. By simply replacing conventional detergents and dryer sheets by adding oils into your laundry, you can eliminate harmful chemicals and add health-benefiting products for the entire family in just one cycle.

Down To the Very Last Drop
Don’t waste a single drop. When you get down to the bottom of the bottle there may not be a visible drop left but the whole inside is coated with precious oil, so how do you get it all out? Those drops are money, and we want to make sure you are getting every penny’s worth!
Pro Tips
Remove the orifice reducer (the plastic cap inside the top) to let the last few drops drip out.
Soak your empty bottles in a jar of Epsom salt; then add a scoop or two to a hot bath and enjoy.
Add your empty oil bottles to a jar of water; then use that water to fill your diffusers.
Save your empty bottles and use to make your own custom roller blends.
Use your empties to share an oil sample with a friend.
Did you know that one capful of Thieves Household Cleaner fits almost perfectly in an empty 5 ml bottle? Yep! Fill up that 5 ml bottle with Thieves Household Cleaner and give it to a friend. Be sure you put the orifice reducer back in to avoid leaks.
Thieves for the Win!
Cleaning your home can be expensive. When you start adding up the cost of all-purpose cleaner, toilet bowl cleaner, window cleaner, and floor cleaner, you will quickly realize that replacing all of these with just one bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner will be saving you a whole lot more than money!
From just one 14.4 ounce bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner, you can get an average of twenty-nine 16- ounce spray bottles of all-purpose cleaner, good to use on everything from windows to floors.
Replace even more...
refill your foaming hand soaps
replace your dishwasher or laundry detergent
degrease the stove, oven, microwave, or grill
wash your cars, patio, and outdoor furniture
clean sponges, rags, and toothbrushes
clean all your surfaces: wood, stone, tile, and grout
wash pet bowls and clean aquariums
One bottle literally does it all.

Double Up
Many Young Living products come highly concentrated, so stretch out your products even further by diluting them!
Shampoo/Conditioner/Shower Gel - These come SO thick! Try diluting them 50/50 with HOT water and adding 1 tsp of baking soda for extra suds. If you decide not to dilute, you only need a dime-size amount.
Thieves Dishwasher Powder - Dilute 50/50 with baking soda or super washing soda to double up.
Thieves Mouthwash - Dilute 50/50 with distilled water.
Orange Blossom Face Wash - Add 2 Tbsp of wash plus distilled water to an 8oz. foaming soap pump and use 1-2 pumps daily. You will get FOUR 8oz. foamers from your ONE bottle of face wash, which could last you up to a year depending on how often you use it. That is only $39.75 for the entire year! That’s roughly $.11 per day to wash your face with a hypoallergenic, gentle face wash that leaves behind no pore- clogging residue.
Use This for That
Don’t you just love it when you buy one pair of shoes and you can wear it with several different outfits? Or when you grab a few simple ingredients at the grocery store and use them to make three different meals? Same thing with your YL products! Finding new out-of- the-ordinary ways to use your products saves time and money!
Take a look at these ideas...
Toothpaste ----> Deodorant
Just a dab under the pits and you’re worry-free all day.
Animal Scents Ointment ----> Hair Gel
Take a bit of ointment (depending on how much hair you have) and mix in your hands with water to thin out before applying to your locks.
Conditioner ----> Detangler
Any of Young Living’s conditioners can double as a detangler. Grab a 24-ounce spray bottle, add 2 cups of distilled water (warm) and ½ cup of conditioner. Mix well.
Lavender Lotion ----> Fabric Softener
Mix a couple drops of lotion (or conditioner) with 1 cup of water.
Thieves Fruit & Veggie Wash ----> Degreaser
If you find that your dish soap needs an extra boost, add a capful of fruit & veggie wash
Thieves Dishwasher Powder ----> Toilet Bowl Cleaner
Sprinkle in the toilet or mix with water to make a paste/scrub.
Lavender Lip Balm ----> Eyeshadow Primer
All you need is one swipe across the lids before applying your shadow.
Lemongrass ----> Nail Polish Remover
Just a couple drops on a cloth saves you from dozens of harmful chemicals.
Seedlings Wipes ----> Dryer Sheets
Ditch those store-bought dryer sheets that contain a chemical cocktail shown to pollute the environment and disrupt your hormones and replace them with Seedlings Wipes!
Hand & Body Lotion ----> Shaving Cream
Apply a small amount to skin, spread around, and shave.
