Guidelines for Cooking with Young Living Essential Oils

Essential oils are different from common vegetable oils such as olive, flax, sesame, or canola oils. While both have benefits, cooking with essential oils can be a healthy alternative in flavoring foods and beverages.

Key differences between essential oils and vegetable oils:

  • Vegetable oils contain glycerol, which leaves a greasy residue when applied to the skin and creates a slippery surface (i.e. in the pan); essentials oils do not create a slippery surface (unless mixed with vegetable oil)
  • Vegetable oils are 100% fat; essential oils contain no fat.
  • Vegetable oils are primarily pressed from seeds and nuts, like avocados, olives or the bran of grains
  • Pure essential oils are steam distilled from plants (with the exception of citrus oils which are cold-pressed)

Cooking with Young Living Essential OilsThe following Young Living essential oils are frequently used in recipes: lemon, orange, nutmeg, black pepper, peppermint, ginger, sage, tangerine, lemongrass, grapefruit, fennel, spearmint, cinnamon bark, oregano, clove, and basil, among others. See the GRAS List (pdf) or the GRAS list below (Generally Regarded As Safe) to learn which Young Living essential oils can be ingested. Be sure to see the "How to Use" page for more information.

Many people believe that using essential oils in cooking is a relatively new idea; in fact there are thousands of food products that use essential oils for aroma and flavor such as chewing gum, chocolates, candies, and many more.

The difference between those oils for flavoring food and Young Living's essential oils is that Young Living essential oils are superior in quality, which simply means you will be getting the healthful benefits of the plant when you use them, and not just the 'flavor.'

While certain essential oils can be harmful if taken in high dosages, moderate use as flavoring (a few drops per person) is not only safe but delicious!

My Pet Tip

Palo Santo for Ticks

When we find a tick embedded on our dog we immediately get out our YL Palo Santo essential oil. Move the dogs hair back with fingers so you can clearly see the embedded tick, dip one drop of Palo Santo onto the tick, wait a couple minutes, then pull the tick out of the skin.

My First Aid Tip

Nail Fungus

Using Young Living's Melrose essential oil blend, apply a couple drops to the location of the nail fungus. Re-apply two to three times a day until fungus is gone.

My Home Spa Tip

Lavender-Peppermint Foot Soak

2 drops Lavender

2 drops Peppermint

2 drops Chamomile

1/4 cup Epsom Salts

Cool, soothe and relieve your painful and swollen feet after a long day. Add essential oil and epsom salt mixture to a large bowl of warm water. Soak your feet for at least 10 minutes.

My Skin Care Tip

Frankincense and Boswellia Cream for Wrinkles

This is my most favorite way to prevent wrinkles...

Put 2 drops of Young Living Frankincense essential oil in the palm of your hand, then dip your finger into the essential oil and gently dab onto face (avoiding contact with eyes). After a minute, apply the Young Living Boswellia Wrinkle Cream onto face and neck area.

Note: the Boswellia Wrinkle Cream is very concentrated, you will only need a tiny amount.

My Immune System Tip

My Favorite Vitamin C Supplement Ever!

Young Living's "Super C - Chewable" is superb! It tastes delicious, reminds me of the flavor of those Smartie candies I ate as a kid. I love keeping the bottle of Super C on my desk during the winter. I've also found that mumching on a Super C Chewable also takes my sugar cravings away.

Super C Chewable has the most complete biologically utilizable vitamin C supplement available, as it is derived from a whole food source: acerola cherries. Free of common allergens. No artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, salt, starch, corn, wheat, yeast, or soy products. I love it!

My Kid Tip

Monsters Be-Gone Spray

We all know that monsters under the bed at night can be detremental to parents and kids getting a restful nights sleep. Here is a super easy "Monster" spray that you and your kids can make to keep those scary creatures far away!

You will need:

  • 1 - 6 oz. spray bottle (choose a shape, size, and color that best represents your army against monsters)

  •  Water Fill your spray bottle 7/8 of the way full with water, add essential oil, shake.
