5 STARS FOR SURE – Ref Guide for Young Living EO Review

Being new to EOs, I was looking for a good starter app to learn about them and how to use them, including how to make my own blends so I wouldn't have to rely on brand name blends for everything. This app got great reviews everywhere I looked, so I ordered it...and I am so glad I did. She begins with the science behind oils and the various methods for applying/using them. LOTS of GREAT information. One of the BEST things about this app is that the author keeps it SIMPLE when it comes to which oils to use. She lists her top ten oils to have on hand and her top ten oils to travel with (most overlap). With just those oils, you can treat just about EVERY ailment listed in her (incredibly comprehensive) app. On each page, she lists how to mix them and then has a column listing alternate oils you can use if you are missing one of the ten originally listed or if you just have a different preference. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that I didn't have to order 137 oils that I won't ever get around to using, because most of the treatments involve oils from her 2 lists. It has been so much less overwhelming than another app I bought later for comparison purposes. The second app will list completely different oils for every treatment, there is very little repetition/consistency of oil usage. I would have to buy hundreds of oils to use the treatments listed in the second app, whereas Valerie's app allowed me to get by with about a dozen or so as I get started. She also has chapter after chapter listing categories of ailments that can be treated with EOs as well as explanations for how to adjust dosages for several age ranges with infants and children. Having 5 children spanning 2 - 16 years, this is a huge plus for me. Again LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this app and I highly recommend it for anyone just getting into EOs. It keeps things simple and does not overwhelm you with hundreds of complicated oil combinations. Neither does it require you to purchase brand name blends to get the job done. Rather, it teaches you how to formulate your own blends from a handful of single oils you can have on hand at any moment. While, I do occasionally cross reference the suggestions in this app with my other, this one has quickly become my favorite. I guess you could say it is like my EO bible. haha!
