Needing reliable reference as to what specific essential oils & supplements will support your unique health challenges & how? I've got your back!
It's probably the No. 1 question that begs to be asked, is it not?
BUT HERE'S THE CATCH...
Young Living, more than any other essential oils company on the planet (for rather obvious reasons), is bound by very strict FDA compliance laws that severely restrict them from making "solution" claims in regards to sickness & disease.
That's why you'll never see on Young Living's product page for Fran-(cough)-incense essential oil, for instance, that even though it is scientifically proven to be highly anti-inflammatory and anti-tumoral (among many other things), they're really only allowed to use feel-good language and speak generally of how it supports us emotionally (which it certainly does, mind you), and helps with "healthy-looking skin".
Of course that it does too, yes, but... SERIOUSLY? I've literally detonated some seriously gnarly fast-growing sarcoids off my horse's hide in mere DAYS with that amazing oil (oops, did I just say that? ;-), yet that's a rather big no-no to publicly lay claim to. Hmmm.
See what I'm saying? It doesn't take mental gymnastics to conclude why the gag order on what can be claimed health solution-wise by Young Living, and those of us who represent them, in the public forum. (HANG ON—a pivotal workaround on that in a sec! ;-)
Let's just say this: my family & I—and hopefully now YOURS—are just one of literally millions of families worldwide who now reach for Young Living's essential oils and supplements FIRST when we find ourselves facing health struggles—or even health crisis, such as an auto-immune disease—rather than resorting to the doctor's office where they only know how to do ONE thing: prescribe toxic pharma drugs.
And if you don't already know how truly incompatible those are with our bodies, and how they can only ever serve to be a problematic band-aid at best (that only leads to other even more troublesome symptoms in turn needing THEIR problematic band-aids... and on & on it goes), you'll want to learn why HERE.
No one ever wants to be enslaved to that never-ending treadmill. At least not knowingly... right?
Some of you already know my health journey testimony. Suffice it to say that I'm living proof that a hopeless medical prognosis (of a supposedly incurable auto-immune thyroid disease) doesn't HAVE to be a lifetime slippery-slope of slavery to pharmaceutical drugs (aka chemicals), and even far worse, irreversible medical procedures!
Praise be to God, He thankfully hardened my brow to the inordinate pressure from every single doctor I went to (as in, "You know, you'll leave your kids orphaned if you don't do as we say!" Yes, verbatim. UGH.), gently revealed to me the glimmer of hope of a far better way, and then gave me the courage (with just a tinge of farm-girl tenacity!) to learn to become an indomitable advocate for my own wellness... HIS way. Was it easy? Well, not gonna lie, it took some grit & determination. And it took changing old habits and steadily committing and re-committing to forming new ones. But I persevered.
Through all that, I am now well over 11+ years in full remission—and holding—and I give full credit to God's second-to-none medicine cabinet via His beneficial plants captured so powerfully in these treasured little amber bottles! Yes, YES, they do indeed work when they're grown, made, and used right!!**
WAS IT WORTH IT?
I've been reflecting a lot lately on where I'd be today if I hadn't found Young Living, then got my hands on the specific resources I needed to know just what to order to support my struggling body, made the critical investment in the specific things I needed (bit-by-bit as we were able financially—family in full-time ministry & all!), then committed to being as consistent & persistent in using them as possible... until I started to feel a shift in my body (at which time I followed the Holy Spirit's prompting to then wean off the multiple meds prescribed to me), which was less than a year into starting to incorporate these most amazing essential oils and oil-infused products into my daily life.
My friends, it was so, SO WORTH IT. I'm so grateful I locked onto the information in those resources and stayed the course for the long-term goal of whole-body wellness, rather than opting for the quick-fix of merely masking symptoms.
It's very sobering to contemplate how extremely compromised my body would now be had I not followed God's strong promptings to break away from the status quo of putting far too much trust in these doctors who knew only to pump me full of pharma meds, and continually pressured me to burn out or cut out my thyroid to "make it more manageable" (for who, them...?), and how that would have affected my whole quality of life going forward in brutal ways I can't even begin to contemplate without choking up.
OKAY—SOLUTIONS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!
So there's this amazing thing called "3rd Party Resources".
This is where publishing companies can issue whatever they so choose BECAUSE THEY'RE SIMPLY PUBLISHERS, not an essential oils company that is distinctly bound by restrictive compliance laws. Brilliant, yes?!? So, couple that with certain publishers who so happen to be 100% affiliated with Young Living, and we've got absolutely everything we need for the nitty gritty answers we're looking for—the SECRET SAUCE, if you will!
So before we get into the must-have printed resource books, I want to highly, highly recommend two APPS for your phone that can be easily downloaded from the App Store for a very nominal monthly or annual fee (THINK: this is a key building-block of investment in your health!).
Trust me, there are going to be times when you will want to quickly look up something about an oil & what body systems it's good for, or what Young Living oils and/or supplements or nutritionals will powerfully support your unique struggles, etc. and you won't have your resource book nearby. But we almost always have our phones on us, right?

PRINTED REFERENCE
1. "Essential Oil Desk Reference" & "Essential Oil Pocket Reference"
These are the reference books that were instrumental in starting to turn the tide on not only MY problematic health all those years ago, but they have helped with my loved ones, friends, and many Young Living members' needs as well over the years.
Sadly, the 3rd party publisher Life & Science Publishing closed their doors several years ago (to my great dismay!), so these books are a highly treasured commodity now. You can find them used online on occasion, but really GOOD NEWS for you, I happen to have a LIMITED SUPPLY on hand here in my office that I've just posted on my eCommerce site for Equinnovations, my long-time niche saddles & tack business! (If you're irreparably horse-crazy like me too, we SERIOUSLY need to chat! And—psst—I have an even more rare, but kinda pricey "Desk Reference for Animals" available as well :-)
Click HERE or on the books below to head over there to place your secure order, while supplies last. Because when they're gone, they're GONE!
Oh—also! A limited supply of these snazzy pocket reference books are available as well (more info on their product description page)...
Please note that as much as I would love to, I am not Amazon so am unable to offer free shipping for your book(s).
BUT, if you're an active Young Living member as part of my Bloom Crew, or decide to make your first essential oils order with me right away (just click HERE to get started), I will put together a really fabulous Welcome Folder chock full of complimentary support materials custom picked just for you and will be sure to include it in your book shipment to make it SO very worth it for you!! :-)

Meet sweet little mister Bran Patrick! One of our 9 (soon to be 10 in the spring of '25!) grandbabies. Hubby Mark & I had the immense joy of grand-sitting here at our farm for two of our kids' families this past summer, and had SO much fun loving on & bonding with our special little humans. Grandparenting is just the BEST ever! You love on them HARD, send them back happy... and then collapse for a few days.😅❤️

(**IMPORTANT NOTE: I cannot endorse the use of any other essential oil brand other than Young Living essential oils, as there is NO guarantee of the same extremely high degree of purity, potency, and efficacy. This is an absolutely critical element in your oils doing what they are needed to do to both repair & regenerate on the cellular level without interference from adjuvants, fillers, herbicides/pesticides, or even just sub-par farming &/or distillation practices; common in the industry with all other farms who do not adhere to the same unparalleled Seed to Seal standards.)
