Essential Oils in 1994 after discovering the
profound effects of essential oils. Gary Young
created Young Living to share the healing
power of pure essential oils with the world.

4. Don Gary Young
Gary Young’s desire to help others through natural
remedies and pure essential oils stems from his
personal experiences. Having grown up in the
mountains of Idaho and the Canadian wilderness,
Gary developed a deep appreciation for nature’s
power at a young age. At age 24, he suffered from a
near-fatal accident that confined him to a wheelchair.
His injury led him to investigate the healing power of
essential oils. Gary used natural remedies to
perpetuate his healing process and was eventually
able to progress from a wheelchair, to a walker, to
crutches, then to walking unassisted.

5. Gary sought to share the powerful healing
effects of essential oils with others. He
traveled the world to learn essential oil
chemistry, innovative distillation techniques
and the potential wellness benefits of
essential oils from the world’s top experts.

6. In 1990, Gary created his first organic herb farm in
Spokane, Washington. Shortly after, he developed
more farmland in Utah and Idaho. There he cultivated
many herbs, including lavender, peppermint, melissa
and clary sage. Thus, Young Living Essential Oils was
born.

7. Since its founding, Young Living Essential Oils
has become a world leader in essential oils.
Headquartered in Lehi, Utah, the company
has grown to have farms and offices all over
the world, including Canada, Japan, Australia,
Europe and Singapore. The company also has
the largest and most technically advanced
distillery for the production of essential oils in
North America.
