CBD has been a buzz word in the health industry for a while, and there is good reason for that! But we don't want CBD from just anywhere, and we DO want CBD infused with essential oils – which is why we love the CBD options from Young Living! Whether you need a muscle rub for sore muscles, a daily dose of zen in a Calm roller, or drops to help with a specific need, Young Living has you covered.

  • CBD, or cannabidiol, is a plant-based compound found in hemp -- the same plant from which we get hemp seed milk, fabric, and bird feed. CBD is not an essential oil (it's thicker than an essential oil and extracted differently), but we can think of it similarly as far as how it can be used and how it can help support our health!

When you use CBD products, your body's endocannabinoid system (ECS) is affected, which is why CBD is called a cannabinoid. The way cannabinoids affect our bodies depends largely upon the way they interact with the CB-1 and CB-2 receptors in the ECS. The specific way that CBD interacts with these receptors is what makes it such a great therapeutic option for so many things.

But it gets better…

When you add essential oils to CBD you get an even more amazing product. The terpenes (a constituent of essential oils) found in essential oils can increase the overall efficacy of CBD, so you get a 1+1=3 scenario! You get the benefits of the essential oils, the benefits of the CBD, and the added boost of combining the two.

*Exciting Changes Coming to CBD! When Young Living launched our CBD product line in 2019, it was an exciting time in an emerging market. Since then, we've continued to research, follow trends, and become experts on the benefits of cannabinoids to support human health.

*As a farming company at heart that honors our connection to the land, our accomplished farmers and scientists have been experimenting with our own hemp agriculture. As the leaders of the essential oils industry, we are thrilled to start growing some of the amazing ingredients for our CBD products on our farms.

This means that as we move toward something new and even better, you will start to see our existing CBD products go out of stock. We thank you for your patience as we enhance products that are already great to bring even more benefits to you and your family. We can't wait for you to see the new products when they are ready for you!

CBD & EMOTIONS It's not news to us that our physical well being also has a profound impact on our emotional health. Inflammation, psychological stress and acute or chronic illness can actually cause your brain to shrink. The science-y term for this is ‘hippocampal atrophy,' and research is showing that CBD has some specific brain-healing properties.

Each of our thoughts creates a physical tract in our brains (neural pathways), and thoughts we visit repeatedly become physically ingrained in our brains. The good news is that it is possible for us to create new pathways, new nerve connections. CBD has specific properties that can help us rewire these tracts, especially when combined with other powerful tools like emotional processing, visualization, and counseling.

CBD can also be an incredible addition to your health routine when it comes to releasing stress and reducing feelings of anxiety. Whether you use it topically, choose to place the drops under your tongue, or use the muscle rub to reduce physical stress, CBD can be a powerful tool for your health!

If you're ready to ditch coping mechanisms that leave you feeling numb, zoned out or worse than you did when you started them, reach for the CBD Drops or CBD Roll-on and find a way to physically process the emotions. Don't push them away or stuff them. Allow yourself to feel them, apply the CBD, and move your body to release stored emotions. Walk, swim, jog, dance, just move! This movement paired with CBD can help you process whereas buffering with a coping mechanism cannot.
