Premium Starter Kit: 11 “must have” oils & how to use them

When you order from Young Living, you have access to more than 80 single oils and more than 80 blends. That’s a lot of oils to fall in love with, so it makes sense to have a roadmap to follow.

The Premium Starter Kit (PSK) has been created to fit that need.

Comprising 11 of Young Living’s most popular and versatile essential oils, you are guaranteed to have an oil for every occasion and every need. And because the oils in this kit come in 5ml sizes, you get a wider variety of oils for your $$$. As you run out of each oil, you can then replace them with the larger 15ml bottles.

Discover the wonders of these oils, and our favourite uses….

Lavender – Calming, Relaxing, Soothing

  • A Universal Oil – perfect for everyday use, and loved by children and skin.
  • Diffuse, add to bath water, put a drop on the pillow or under the nose, massage into scalp.
  • Add to honey, ice cream and lemonade.

Recipe

Luscious Lavender
Bath Soak

Into a 50g jar, place:

  • 1 Tablespoon of Himalayan or Epsom Salts
  • 1 Tablespoon of Bicarb of Soda (Baking Soda)
  • 8 drops Lavender oil
  • 4 drops Copaiba oil
  • 4 drops Frankincense oil

 

Add a pinch of dried flowers (eg. Lavender and/or rose). Put the lid on the jar, and shake well. The Baking Soda is wonderful for detoxifying our body, and the Salts help to relax our muscles.

Peppermint – Refreshing and Exhilarating

  • A powerful breath freshener
  • 1 drop is equivalent to 28 cups of peppermint tea!!!
  • Cool down – place 1 to 2 drops under feet or on wrists. You will feel like the outside temperature has dropped by 5 degrees!
  • Alternatively, fill a 60ml mist spray bottle 1 teaspoon of vodka or witch hazel (as a dispersing agent) and 10 drops of Peppermint oil, then simply top up with water. Mist yourself with this as needed on hot days.
  • Use as a breath freshener – just 1 drop on the back of your hand, tilt your hand, and lick the corner of the drop off
  • Energize your room – place 5 to 10 drops in your cold air diffuser, or sprinkle a few drops on a handkerchief or cloth and hang in a window as a simple diffuser
  • Put a drop in water or NingXia Red for added energy, or during physical workouts
  • Apply 1 to 2 drops to muscles and joints, avoiding sensitive skin
  • Add 10 to 15 drops of Peppermint oil to 15ml of a carrier oil such as Young Living’s V6, olive or coconut oil, and massage into tired muscles
  • Add a drop to hot water to create your own Peppermint Tea
  • Add a drop of Peppermint oil to raw chocolate and other “mint” recipes, then increase to taste. Young Living’s Peppermint oil is so pure that it packs quite a punch. If you find it overpowering in recipes, try mixing equal drops of Peppermint and Spearmint oil. The Spearmint helps to soften the punch of the Peppermint.
  • Add 20 drops Peppermint and 20 drops Abundance® or Joy® oil to 4 litres of acrylic or enamel paint (helps odours and frequency). Abundance contains oils used by the Egyptian Pharaohs to attract prosperity. Put a drop of Abundance oil on your wrists and see what you attract! 

 

Testimonials

  • I fill a 500ml spray bottle with water, and add 20 drops of Peppermint oil with a tablespoon of Witch Hazel or Vodka to help disperse it. I spray my windows and doors regularly with this mix…and the house smells amazing!

     

    Katie Bashford (WA)

  • I had terrible problems with tired feet. Having lost 13kg they’re much more comfortable. Now I add 5-6 drops of Peppermint oil to warm water, and soak my feet in this for 10 minutes. It gives my feet a new lease of life!

     

    Thea Allen (VIC)

  • I add a drop of Peppermint oil to my green smoothie each day. It’s so revitalising and adds a Zing to the taste!

    Soraya Saraswati (QLD)

    Chiara Sharp (USA)

  • One especially hot summer’s day my partner and I added 3 drops of Peppermint oil to a small amount of unscented lotion and gave each other a foot massage. Within minutes both of us felt cool and refreshed and it lasted for hours!

Warning – Test oils on a corner of the sheet first, as some essential oils will stain clothing or digest synthetics!
