Gary Young's Story, Founder of Young Living Essential Oils

I had the opportunity Tuesday night to attend a talk given by the founder of Young Living Essential Oils, Gary Young and his wife Mary.

Gary Young

He told us his incredible story of suffering a near-fatal logging accident in 1973, which resulted in him being in a coma and ending up paralyzed and in a wheelchair – for life, according to his doctors.  This accident — which nearly cost him his life — transformed him both physically and emotionally and would eventually impact the lives of countless people in ways he could have never imagined.

His quest to regain his life eventually led him to discover the potential of a powerful but little-known form of natural medicine — essential oils. Within a very short time, Gary cast off the persistent pain that he had borne for almost 13 years as he began tapping the power of essential oils. By 1986 he was able to run a half-marathon, finishing 60th out of 970 participants.

Today he has amazing strength and stamina, working on his many farms where he grows and harvests the plants that are distilled on site into these pure, pharmaceutical-grade essential oils.  His story and experiences are truly an inspiration to explore these essential oils.  I'm eager to learn as much as I can about them!
