His years of experience know the optimum species and their genus, including chemo-type. D. Gary Young partners with university experts to verify their essential oils potential.

Cultivation

Young Living oils come from their farms in Ecuador France, and the United States where organic practices are adhered to with great care. D. Gary Young also partners with other growers and distillers all over the world. Some oils come from herbs in Madagascar, Indonesia, and Brazil.

Harvesting

The timing of the harvest is one of the most important factors in producing therapeutic-grade oils. Great care is taken to harvest the plants at the right time of the season, and correct time of day to obtain the highest standards; changing time of the harvest can change the quality of the oil; for example, German Chamomile harvested in the morning will produce more anti-inflammatory compounds needed than if it is harvested in the afternoon. Other factors such as dew, blooms, weather conditions during the two weeks prior to harvest have an impact on the quality of the plants.

Young Living also uses cold pressing and resin tapping for select oils.

Testing

After distillation the oils undergo both internal and third party labs. They exceed international standards, and contain optimal levels of natural bio-active compounds.
