Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Young Living regarded as the world leaders?

They own their own farms or have exclusive rights to partner farms which they hold to the same rigorous standard.

They freshly distil their oils on site with low temperature steam distillation.

They do more testing than any other essential oil company in the world.

They have their seed to seal protocol- total control from planting of the seeds, harvesting, distillation, testing and sealing the bottle.

The oils are beyond just organic, not only pure but also authentic and potent. This makes them therapeutic-grade (all of the chemical constituents in the plant are present in the oil at the highest and most consistent bioactive levels).

They are the only company that do not fractionate any of their oils (i.e. do not take the heavy molecules away to produce a sweeter smelling oil).

Gary Young, the founder, was regarded as the WORLDS LEADING AUTHORITY on essential oils and reminds us that we are farmers first, and to always put quality before profits. It is still a family run business.

How do I choose my oils and other products in the future?

It’s really hard to choose because you’ll read through and find you want ALL the oils, as well as all the low-tox cleaning products, the gorgeous vegan make-up, and and and.

You can always come to any event for free and smell more oils.

You will receive a product guide with your starter kit, and I highly recommend purchasing the desk reference book, which is not from Young Living, but from Life Science Publishing. This is a comprehensive reference book which is important if you truly want to become your families own healer and alchemist.

Once you become a YL member write me an email over at aline@betterhealthclinics.com.au, I will invite you to join in the YL oils private Facebook group where we share lots of useful resources to have you confidently making the most of them. It’s a lovely group where we talk all things oils, and where you can ask any questions and share your favourites too.

I can’t wait for you to join me and my team!!!

Do I have to buy anything after the kit?

No, not at all. Most people find they want to try other essential oils, or start their low-tox journey and order from the wide range of toxin-free cleaning products, personal care products, make-up, baby care, pet care and get it conveniently shipped to their front door. But there is zero obligation. If you do want to keep your wholesale membership you need to purchase $50 worth of wellness products within a year (super easy to do). That’s it!

Are there monthly requirements?

No. Many members DO find that they love our oils and wellness products (cleaning, make-up, skincare, supplements) and they WANT to get a regular shipment. In that case we have an INCREDIBLE rewards program where you can customise your monthly boxes that ship to your door, and save a ton of money. But again, it’s totally optional.

Do I have to sell anything?

Never ever. This can be our little secret.

However, if you use the products and you LOVE them (this happens a lot!) and you want to tell some friends about them, you can earn a little money on the side. If you want to build a serious side income you can do that also. I have a fantastic training and mentorship available for you. BUT all of that is fully optional and you will not be pressured to do it.

What is a Wholesale Account?

Buying wholesale is how you will access the best price possible for the highest quality pure Essential Oils, saving 24% on the retail price. Basic wholesale account means you must spend 50PV in a year in order to keep your wholesale pricing. This means you literally only need to purchase 1 - 3 oils, or some household cleaning products for the whole year to access that 24% discount!

The wholesale account options are:

• Essential Rewards

• Basic Wholesale

I recommend Essential Rewards to start with. You can always drop down to Basic Wholesale later.

If you decide you want to drop down from the Essential Rewards account to a Basic Wholesale account then it’s a simple phone call to head office and they’ll happily change this for you, no questions asked.

BUT – Essential Rewards means just a few products per month. Might as well buy regularly on Essential Rewards because you earn back 10% on every order, going up to 25% back by the time you’re a member ordering consistently for 12 months or more and those points add up and are able to be redeemed online.

The longer you stay on, the more rewards you get. Plus you save time not having to find toxin-free products in regular shops. Sounds amazing hey?

What is an Essential Rewards Account?

Essential Rewards is a program where you spend a minimum of 50 PV (stands for ‘Personal Volume’) per month (think of it as one PV is equal to one US dollar). With the Essential Rewards program, you will earn points toward future product redemptions which you get for free, so it’s how you quickly accrue rewards points to redeem FREE essential oils any time you like. Think of it like Frequent Flyers.

What do you get for 50PV per month?

Anything you want! You change it every month in a simple online virtual office, private to you.

Your order could include a beautiful oil or two and an all-natural foaming hand soap OR a Thieves home cleaner refill (LOVE that stuff, works out to be 0.90c per spray bottle diluted as an all purpose cleaner and completely natural) or a shampoo OR couple of oils, and an aluminium-free deodorant for example. The options are endless! If you still feel confused you can call me anytime.

I am very happy to do the administrative work for you and sign you up.

What is a Bonus Essential Rewards Account?

If you decide you’re a fan and want to increase your monthly order to 100PV or greater, you have Bonus Essential Rewards Kits with amazing bundle offers, loyalty oils - a random freebie in your order every 3 months – which are delivered to you at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months as surprise freebies! This is also the order level required for you to earn commissions when your circle signs up with you – but rest assured you’ll never be pressured by me to ‘start a business’ but of course you are supported if you do.

Why I exclusively use Young Living Oils at home and in the clinic.

Young Living is regarded as the world leader on essential oils on every measure with their 25 years history of industry leadership and also hold the gold standard of sustainability. They simply are the only essential oils that actually “work”.

Young Living follow a unique five-step process called seed to seal which selects and plants seeds, farms, distils and bottles with the most vigorous independent AND internal testing to produce the purest, most authentic essential oils. Young Living prides itself on being an Essential Oil company that is not simply a ‘re-bottler’ of oils.

These strict ‘Seed to Seal’ guidelines ensure that farmers respect the earth’s delicate eco system by resting the soil and not over producing just because of market demand. This is particularly important in those developing nations that are in need of long-term solutions rather than short-term gains. Young Living oils are potent because they use 1st Distillation only. This means that their oils are not re distilled or fractionated like most other brands and all of the volatile oil molecules present in the plant will be present in the oil. For this reason they do not have an expiry date like most other brands.

Do a side by side sniff test and you will see they’re a cut above! As an aromatherapist I side by side test many oils as part of my job, and even every single novice I have shown the side by side test has instantly noticed the difference in potency, purity and authenticity.

When it comes time to harvest, they will be testing a plant every two hours with micro samples, to assess the level of plant actives, so that they harvest at the absolute most active time of the plant, resulting in the highest ORAC scores possible, with that testing commitment. You can smell the difference on the nose. Absolute purity and potency.

Another fact that I love about Young living is that they are absolutely transparent. You can visit any farm at any time. When it comes to what I put in and on my children’s bodies, I am obsessed with using only the very best quality- whether it’s food or personal care products or essential oils - because they all end up inside our bodies and literally make up and directly affect the function of our cells.

Young Living have a dedicated FDA approved product line of oils solely for ingesting and this is soon to also be the case in Australia with TGA.

No other company has that much passion for sustainability, quality, for the farmers, the land and puts that much effort into quality testing- No other company tests each batch of oil 90 times! They literally pioneer in the industry, by continually identifying and sourcing new plant species, the most innovative science equipment, farming and distillation techniques and product testing.

PHILANTHROPIC WORK As well as operating schools and a Health clinic in Ecuador Young Living also runs one of the largest ‘not for profit’ foundations in the world. All wages and running costs for this foundation are 100% covered by Young Living and as members we get to play an integral part by ‘rounding up ‘our orders.
