Young Living Promotes Frankincense Research
Tracy Griffiths of Urban Zen instructs members of the UCLA medical staff on essential oils usage.
Young Living Essential Oils Used in Training of UCLA Medical Staff Young Living essential oils play a key role in a groundbreaking new partnership between Donna Karan’s Urban Zen Foundation and the UCLA Health System. Under the direction of Dr. David Feinberg, president of the UCLA Health System, Urban Zen faculty members have begun training UCLA medical professionals in integrative therapy modalities, which include essential oils. Essential oil therapy is a vital component of Urban Zen’s Integrative Therapy (UZIT) Program, along with therapeutic yoga, Reiki, nutritional instruction, and contemplative care. UZIT is designed to complement traditional medical techniques and offers substantial benefits to both
the recipient and the caregiver. Pure Young Living essential oils such as lavender and peppermint are used topically and in an aromatherapeutic manner in UZIT. “We are honored that our oils are being utilized in this important program,” says Young Living CEO Doug Nelson. “This is yet another indicator of the medical community’s growing interest in the life-changing benefits of essential oils. We look forward to a day when Young Living essential oils can be found in every hospital and health-care facility in the world.” The initial response to the training from the UCLA medical staff—which includes nurses, physical therapists, massage therapists, and rehabilitation specialists—has been overwhelmingly positive.

During Young Living’s 2011 Convention in Orlando, Florida, researcher Karen Boren presented an insightful look into the origination of the frankincense species Boswellia sacra and Boswellia frereana. In some circles confusion still abounds regarding identification of these frankincense species, but what do historians, botanists, and scientists who study frankincense say is the origin of these two species?
Historical and scientific documentation of Boswellia sacra from Oman and Boswellia frereana from Somalia makes for a fascinating, informative read. Promoting such in-depth frankincense research is one more reason why Young Living is the world leader in essential oils.
