The Ultimate Guide to Essential Oil-Infused CBD!

Young Living Acquires Nature's Ultra to Produce Unprecedented CBD Oil

We are very excited for the combination of essential oils and CBD oils in the Nature's Ultra lineup.

​
For starters, what is CBD Oil

Practically speaking, CBD is synonymous with Cannabidiol. Cannabidiol is that plant-based compound found in the Cannabis plant which is part of the Cannabaceae family. CBD is different then its' cousin Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), therefore it is not psychoactive. When a consumer sees CBD oil, it is likely oil extracted from the "hemp" version of the Cannabis plant. Hemp is typically the extremely low THC variety of Cannabis whereas marijuana is the high THC content variety of Cannabis. 

Nature's Ultra states that their CBD products have been verified by an accredited, third-party lab and contains 0.00% THC and 99%+ CBD.



​
Most CBD products do not contain Terpenes. Nature's Ultra Does. Why do Terpenes matter?

Terpene content matters due to something known as the entourage effect first introduced by a study conducted in 1998. This study suggests that when combining terpenes and cannabinoids, there is the potential for an enhanced synergistic effect. They even seem to suggest that using cannabinoids alone are not nearly as effective as using these compounds synergistically with a compound such as a terpenes.  

You are in luck! Young Living essential oils are loaded with terpenes. Think of terpenes as the building blocks of essential oils. Terpenes are isoprenes that make up these aromatic hydrocarbons. Terpenes are largely what gives many of the essential oils their unique smells and wellness properties. This would suggest that the high-quality CBD oil produced by Nature's Ultra - combined with 100% pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils from Young Living - would be among the most effective CBD oils on the market!

Full disclosure: I always suggest that you do your own research on essential oils, supplements, wellness, and especially CBD oil. The more research your involved in on your own, the more empowered you will be to make choices you believe in.  It's important to educate yourself via your own research, but also recognize the importance of consulting with your medical professional. It's also your responsibility to become aware of your state’s regulations prior to purchasing CBD. 

My Notes from Young Living's Grand Convention

While at Young Living's Grand Convention in 2019, I was able to listen to training and education seminars from Nature's Ultra, Dr. Harry Adelson and Dr. Olivier Wenker. Wenker is a physician for Integrative, Anti-Aging, and Regenerative Medicine and recently authored The Power of CBD and Essential Oils. This might be an excellent resource for those of you interested in learning about CBD and essential oils on a deeper level. 

Each and every presentation brought a lot of information, all very interesting and encouraged me to look into further reading. While listening to the workshop's at convention, I took a few notes to help me understand what makes Young Living and Nature's Ultra CBD oil different. Here are some take away points that I noted while at convention.

Qualities unique to Nature’s Ultra CBD Oil from Young Living Convention:

• "Seed to Seal” Certified products, Young Living standards are used during the entire process, the quality starts at the source and continues throughout the bottling process.
• The entire product is organic, naturally cultivated from farm to bottle.
• No pesticides
• No heavy metals
• No harsh chemicals used
• No solvents
• Quality extraction process is used
• Green friendly CO2 extraction
• Zero THC (0.00%) 
• All ingredients are natural, organic, vegan approved, and gluten free
• Certified kosher by EarthKosher
• The CBD isolate + Infused with Young Living Essential Oils = SMART Spectrum CBD Oil, meaning a broader, more robust, and purposeful terpene profile than CBD alone = more benefits for you!
• 25 years of research matches our Young Living Essential Oils with terpenes to produce a Smart Spectrum CBD product

Understanding Quality: 
I knew very little on quality control before I got started with Young Living. I really recommend that you do your research to find the answers about sourcing and the processes used to get the CBD oil. The process to make CBD oil can really mess up what CBD oil is supposed to be so "Seed to Seal” is important. The Seed to Seal standards that Nature's Ultra follows allows for the purest and highest quality CBD oil on the market.

Two important factors make these CBD products superior:

• Nature's Ultra Farming Practices
• Young Living Seed to Seal

​
Quick facts regarding cannabis products:

• Up to 85 % of cannabis products (CBD & Marijuana) contain pesticides, solvents, or contaminates
• 70% of CBD products are mislabeled (43% under labeled and 26% over labeled)
• Some cannabis products actually have zero CBD

How CBD Oil May Support the Body 

• Our body has an Endocannabinoid System
• The body produces at least 6 endocannabinoids and has receptors, which allows our body functions to respond to CBD
• The problem with THC is that it continuously binds with the receptors while CBD doesn’t bind but allows the body to naturally produce its own endocannabinoids in response. ( 1.) Adelson and Wenker )
• The endocannabinoid system modulates neuronal and immune cell function, which may have implications for treating pain
• The literature suggests that the endocannabinoid system modulates feeding behaviors
• The endocannabinoid system may have important implications in regulating energy balance and metabolism
• There is great interest in whether or not CBD or cannabis products can impact addiction and psychiatric disease
