Sometimes there are dozens. When a single oil like sandalwood\u00a0is out of stock, it will\u00a0domino into all oil blends and products that contain that oil.<\/p>\n<p>Years ago\u00a0the blend of Valor was out of stock for months as it has been recently. \u00a0One particular ingredient could not be found that met Gary Young&#8217;s standards of quality. Valor is an &#8220;anchor&#8221; product for Young Living\u2014it&#8217;s used to begin the Raindrop Technique.<\/p>\n<p>Something similar happened with the availability of therapeutic-grade helichrysum. Members begged Gary to just buy the best he could get because other companies continued to sell it. He refused, knowing that the oil on the market would not have the therapeutic effects that members had come to expect from YL helichrysum and it would ultimately be bad for the company&#8217;s reputation.<\/p>\n<p>To this day we cannot purchase birch oil through Young Living. It was a very popular oil at one time, also in the raindrop kit. It&#8217;s been unavailable for more than a decade. Gary has not been able to find a legitimate source since then.<\/p>\n<p>Folks, whenever I hear about these out-of-stock situations, I find huge comfort in it. I purchase from, and represent, a company that does not cut corners. Want to prove to yourself that Young Living is different? You could go look on the shelves of those health food stores that sell the el-cheapo oils or click\u00a0through the websites\u00a0of other &#8220;aroma&#8221; companies and see if they have\u00a0birch available. Of course, it&#8217;s possible to create all kinds of excuses as to why they have the oils and Young Living doesn&#8217;t. But, to me, the most obvious answer is that they don&#8217;t care what kind of chemicals the oils contain or what therapeutic qualities the oils lack. A valuable oil to them is one that smells similar to what unaware buyers expect so that those buyers will part with their money. There is no correlation with therapeutic value.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it is wonderful news when I hear that a Young Living product is out of stock!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/121426303\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>Watch the video above for Young Living&#8217;s explanation on rare and seasonal essential oils.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>UPDATE April 17, 2015: Email sent to YL Leaders<\/strong><br \/>\nPeace and Calming, and Valor have gone out of stock this morning, and will be out of stock for the unforeseeable future. This is due to some unfortunate rainfall in Morocco which resulted in the loss of many crops needed for the making of these oils.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE April 16, 2015: Email sent to YL Distributors<\/strong><br \/>\nYoung Living has spent the last 20 years and counting committed to providing the most authentic essential oils possible. Because ours is a uniquely close partnership with the earth, our supply is deeply tied to nature\u2019s cycles.<\/p>\n<p>Due to unpredictable and excessively heavy rainfall in the past season, this partnership has yielded a smaller-than-expected harvest of botanicals used in the formulas of favorite products such as Valor\u00ae and Peace &amp; Calming\u00ae. These products will become unavailable for several months beginning late this Friday, April 17. Until they are available again, we suggest trying great alternatives to Valor, such as 5-ml Magnify Your Purpose\u2122, 5-ml Envision\u2122, and 5-ml Inspiration\u2122 essential oil blends, or an alternative to Peace &amp; Calming, such as 5-ml Gathering\u2122 essential oil blend. These alternatives contain some of the same essential oils and offer similar benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Though these two beloved essential oil blends are top-selling member favorites, we will maintain their historical integrity by refusing to compromise on their formulas. Instead, we look forward to the upcoming harvest and normal growing conditions that will allow us to make these affected products available again beginning mid- to late-September of this year! We thank you for your support and dedication as a member of the Young Living family!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>UPDATE\u00a0July 31, 2014: Portion of email sent to YL leaders<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We absolutely stand by our Seed to Seal\u00ae quality promise, which is the foundation of everything we do. Young Living will only sell products we can stand behind 100 percent, even if that means higher costs for us and occasional unavailability of certain items. With the Seed to Seal commitment as our guidepost, we are quickly expanding our manufacturing and growing capacities. We have doubled the square footage of our production facilities and are purchasing additional land on which to grow our botanicals. Additionally, we are rapidly acquiring more partner farms, all of which are subject to the same rigorous quality standards that we apply to our own farms.<\/li>\n<li>We have the broadest product offering in the essential oil industry, and many of our new members may not realize all of the effective alternatives available to them when an item goes out of stock. To help educate everyone, we are planning regular communications that will include suggested replacement products. We will also continue to give the most accurate updates possible on when items will be available again. We are pleased to offer more products than all our competitors combined. In fact, more than 90 percent of those products are available right now! Please remind your teams of this fact and encourage them to take advantage of the forthcoming education on alternate products.<\/li>\n<li>We have doubled the size of our sourcing and operations teams in the last 10 months, and they are out searching the globe for new sources of hard-to-find botanicals.<\/li>\n<li>For the short term, we are prioritizing our inventory of hard-to-source oils by ensuring that they are used in our highest demand products first.<\/li>\n<li>We are investing all revenue generated from operations back into inventory and sourcing support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"https:\/\/essentialoilsage.com\/?p=13726\" title=\"Gary Young: Personal Perspective on Seed to Seal Process\">Gary Young: Personal Perspective on Seed to Seal Process<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/essentialoilsage.com\/?p=9633\" title=\"Faking Wintergreen Essential Oil\">Faking Wintergreen Essential Oil<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/essentialoilsage.com\/?p=11514\" title=\"Lead in Young Living products?\">Lead in Young Living products?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/essentialoilsage.com\/?p=10964\" title=\"Faking Tea Tree Essential Oil\">Faking Tea Tree Essential Oil<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/essentialoilsage.com\/?p=10379\" title=\"Faking Lavender Essential Oil\">Faking Lavender Essential Oil<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/essentialoilsage.com\/?p=3134\" title=\"7 Videos Show Young Living&#8217;s Commitment to Quality\">7 Videos Show Young Living&#8217;s Commitment to Quality<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/essentialoilsage.com\/?p=8789\" title=\"Making Your Own Valor\">Making Your Own Valor<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/essentialoilsage.com\/?p=9077\" title=\"Video: Distilling without Chemicals: Another Young Living Difference\">Video: Distilling without Chemicals: Another Young Living Difference<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/essentialoilsage.com\/?p=8786\" title=\"The Truth about Gary Young and Young Living Essential Oils\">The Truth about Gary Young and Young Living Essential Oils<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/essentialoilsage.com\/?p=29508\" title=\"Innovation abounds at the D.
