Dr. Gary Young, founder of Young Living Essential Oils, talks about his life-changing research of Essential Oils. It was captured on an audio tape entitled, The Missing Link.

Welcome to Young Living Essential Oils ...

...and the world of aroma therapy. Aroma therapy may be a new term to many of you, but it is an ancient art and science which began its re-entry into the modern world only a few years ago.

With a biblical foundation and historical information from different cultures around the world, there is much that we have to learn and study.

We at Young Living are very excited to share this life-changing information with those who are looking for truth that might bring healing of different dimensions resulting in untold health, happiness and prosperity.

Introduction to the Pioneer Work of Dr. Gary Young

Young Living Essential Oils came into existence through Don Gary Young, a very unusual and visionary man. Through the most amazing circumstances he finds himself teaching seminars, formulating in his laboratory, plowing the fields on his tractor, designing and building equipment for the farm operations, training his horses to pull a plow, and running a multi-million dollar business.

He grew up in the mountains of central Idaho with no electricity or running water, where he and his brothers and sisters were taught by their parents how to live from the earth.

At age 24, a terrible logging accident left him 'paralyzed for life'. Rejecting the medical diagnosis, he began his search for natural ways to heal his body. He studied the sciences of hematology, medicine, anesthesiology, acupuncture, pathology, nutrition, herbology and many other types of healing modalities. With great determination, 13 years later, he ran a half-marathon and finished 60th out of 970 participants.

After receiving a Master's in Nutrition and a Doctorate in Naturopathy, he opened a family practice in Chula Vista, California. He also opened a research clinic in Mexico to do research in the areas of natural healing.

His work in Mexico was of such magnitude that in 1985 he received the Humanitarian Award from the State Medical Examiner's Office of Baja, California (one of only six ever awarded) for his research and successful treatment of degenerative disease.

The Discovery ...

It was in this clinic where he was introduced to Essential Oils, which started him in the direction that he continues today.

In November of 1995, Gary was invited to speak at the UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization) International Congress on Essential Oils held in Eskeshehir, Turkey.

He presented research that is being conducted on the Young Living Blends and Single Oils at Weber State University and on organic farming and plant germination at the farm in Idaho.

His work was received with tremendous enthusiasm, and many who attended showed great interest in what we are doing as a means for improving their economics.

Research Studies

Gary loves the challenge of research and discovery which has driven him deep into the history of early medicine and essential oils. He goes from the ruins of ancient Egypt to the archaeology archives of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem to the British Museum Library in London to his own laboratory and now, today, to the chemistry department at Weber State University to prove the validity of this ancient science.

It is an exciting adventure for those who love the discovery of truth.

Gary Young is a man of great faith and belief in God, who loves his home and his family and whose greatest joy is being of service to his fellow men and, perhaps in a small way, helping them to realize their dreams.

Gary Young is one of the foremost authorities on Essential Oils in North America.
