About Young Living

After sustaining serious injuries in a logging accident, Gary Young began searching for natural alternatives to traditional medical treatments. He experimented with many different modalities, which helped him regain

feeling in his legs and eventually enabled him to walk again. Although still in great pain, he began a path of helping others to heal themselves as well.

A few years later, he discovered nature’s gift of essential oils. He became passionate about their potential and began conducting extensive research to discover their wonderful properties.

This research, combined with his years of farming experience, inspired Gary to learn to grow and harvest plants and trees for the extraction of their precious

oils. He built his first extraction chamber in 1993; and in 1994 he built his first stationary distillery, where he developed a proprietary distillation technique to

produce essential oils—and Young Living Essential Oils was born!

Over the last two decades, Young Living has experienced remarkable growth. Gary has developed innovative farms and distilleries, made amazing

discoveries from ancient history and present-day science, and conducted clinical trials and studies on essential oil usage, with phenomenal results! Because of his commitment and dedication, Young Living stands as the world leader in essential oils.

Young Living is the only essential oil company that owns, operates, and meticulously oversees its own farms and distilleries. With seven farms and six

distilleries on four continents, partners across the globe who grow and distill for Young Living, and hundreds of thousands of customers around the world,
