Young Living is proud of its involvement in furthering the holistic health community, including our partnership with Beth Israel Medical Center. At this time we are providing Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils to patients on the oncology floor and the results are being tracked in a pilot study.

We are always excited to hear of other studies and trials that advance the use of Eastern healing modalities, such as using herbs and supplements, yoga, and aromatherapy, in conjunction with Western treatments.

This week an independent clinical trial* was presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology that uses ginger to help patients.
