When I began my journey into researching essential oils, I quickly realized that they were tools I definitely wanted to have in our home. We were already acquiring a lot of natural products for our home arsenal and beginning to integrate them into our daily lives. I felt confident that Young Living was the company for us (here's why) and I knew that essential oils would be a perfect fit for our family. But there was one problem.
THERE WERE SO MANY.
And I had no idea where to start.
I talked to a friend of mine and she suggested the Premium Starter Kit. Looking back, this was absolutely the best thing she could have recommended and that's exactly why I recommend it to all my friends as well. It's a collection of Young Living's most popular essential oil singles and blends, and for very good reason - the oils in the Premium Starter Kit are SO versatile! PLUS, the kit comes with a free diffuser!
If you're wondering which oils come in the Premium Starter Kit, here is an overview of each of those oils:

If you're wondering which oils come in the Premium Starter Kit, here is an overview of each of those oils:
Lavender
A popular essential oil long loved for its calming, soothing fragrance, lavender, is a key ingredient in many of our blends, including Stress Away, Tranquil, RutaVala, Forgiveness, and Harmony. When diffused, lavender adds a clean, fresh scent to any room and is a relaxing addition to baths and body care products. Try adding a few drops to one cup of Epsom salts, and pour into hot bath water at the end of a long day to unwind and let it all go.
Frankincense
Including the naturally occurring constituent alpha-pinene, frankincense is a key ingredient in essential oil blends such as Brain Power, Awaken, Highest Potential, and Forgiveness. Diffuse it during meditation to help with grounding and purpose. Frankincense can also be useful for massage after activity or in cosmetic applications to smooth the appearance of healthy-looking skin, which makes it an important ingredient in our Boswelia Wrinkle Cream.
Citrus Fresh
Citrus Fresh essential oil blend helps freshen the air and brings an energizing aroma with its unique combination of orange, tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, mandarin, and spearmint essential oils. Diffuse 6-10 drops of Citrus Fresh in stale-smelling areas of your home, drop onto cotton balls and leave them in heater vents, shoes, and drawers; or combine 12 drops with distilled water in a spray bottle and shake for a natural bathroom spray.
Raven
A unique combination of ravintsara, peppermint, eucalyptus radiata, lemon, and wintergreen, Raven essential oil blend contains the naturally occurring constituents eucalyptol, menthol, and methyl salicylate, which provide an invigorating and empowering experience, particularly before or after a workout or when winding down for the evening. Rub Raven on your throat or chest before exercise to uplift and inspire, diffuse in a stuffy environment, or massage a few drops on your feet before bedtime to encourage an atmosphere of comfort.
PanAway
Featuring the naturally occurring constituents methyl salicylate, gamma-curcumene, menthol, and eugenol, PanAway is a popular essential oil blend formuated by Young Living founder D. Gary Young. Combine with a carrier oil (like coconut or avocado oil) and apply after exercise or to neck and back anytime for a soothing and stimulating aromatic experience.
Peppermint Vitality
Peppermint Vitality essential oil has a bright, cool flavor, with benefits that include gastrointestinal comfort and normal digestion support, in addition to its great taste. Store this oil in your kitchen as a flavoring agent or a dietary supplement. This versatile oil can support healthy gut function and digestive efficiency, which makes it a great way to start your day or end a meal. Additionally, Peppermint Vitality oil as a dietary supplement may support exercise performance to help you have a great workout. Because of its great taste, it's easy to add this versatile oil to your coffee grounds, cup of tea, or baked goods. Just be sure to start small – a little bit goes a long way.
Lemon Vitality
Pressed from the fresh rinds of the fruit, Lemon Vitality is a delicious essential oil that has that wonderfully nostalgic taste and smell of lemon drop candy. It's a great substitute in any recipe calling for fresh lemon juice, rind, or flavoring – without all the hassle of zesting, grating, or juicing. It's especially good in shortbread cookies, jams, or even a glass of ice-cold water. You can use Lemon Vitality to create custom vinaigrettes or marinades to add a bright taste to summer salads and grilling or add 1 drop to plain or vanilla yogurt and top with fresh berries and Einkorn Granola for a delicious, healthy start to your day. Lemon Vitality includes the naturally occurring constituent limonene and is a key ingredient in Thieves, Ningxia Red, and Inner Defense.
Copaiba Vitality
Copaiba Vitality is made with the gum resin tapped from the copaiba tree native to Brazil and is known for its beta-caryophyllene content and sweet aroma. This oil has a pleasant, complex taste, and when taken internally, it can promote wellness. Add Copaiba Vitality to a clear vegetable capsule and take daily as an important part of your health regimen. You can also try adding a drop or two to your herbal tea, such as chamomile or rooibos, to enjoy its complex, soothing flavor.
Thieves Vitality
With Thieves Vitality, you'll have a quick and easy way to balance your busy life and your wellness. This unique blend combines lemon, clove, eucalyptus radiata, cinnamon bark, and rosemary essential oils to create one of our most popular products. These ingredients synergistically combine to offer one of the key benefits of Thieves Vitality oil: overall wellness and support of a healthy immune system. Use the sweet, spicy flavor of this oil as an addition to your daily wellness regimen. Its constituent oils give a comforting seasoning to warm food and drinks. Add a drop to oatmeal or granola to elevate your breakfast. Try a shot of Ningxia Red with a drop of Thieves Vitality for a quick, spicy boost to your daily Ningxia Red shot.
DiGize Vitality
This proprietary blend of essential oils is a great mealtime companion and addition to your wellness regimen. This blend of tarragon, ginger, peppermint, juniper, fennel, lemongrass, anise, and patchouli essential oils offers a fresh-tasting blend – a perfect follow-up to any meal. Some cultures munch on fennel seeds after meals, and the use of this potent plant even dates back to ancient Egpyt. Take this best-selling essential oil blend with Essentialzymes-4 or on its own before each meal. The versatility of this oil means that you can take it in a gel capsule, mix it with water and Peppermint Vitlaity for a rejuvenating infused water, or combine it with honey for a sweet treat. DiGize Vitality is also a great complement to our supplements ComforTone and JuvaTone. Be sure you don't leave home without this oil, especially when traveling to and eating at exotic locations.
Now, those are the ten basic oils, which are an amazing collection all on their own! BUT there is also a BONUS OIL included with each Premium Starter Kit!
Stress Away
This essential oil blend is a favorite among many Young Living members. Stress Away is a blend of copaiba, lime, cedarwood, vanilla, ocotea, and lavender essential oils that makes relieving daily stress convenient and easy. Apply to your wrists, back of the neck, or drop into an Epsom salt bath to settle your mind at the start or end of a busy day.
