Unforgettable Amazon Adventure
Are you an adventurous person? Have you recently tried a new sport, traveled to a new place, or learned a new skill? Discovering new activities, visiting foreign countries, and meeting new people make life exciting!
Gary Young, founder and president of Young Living, lives a life full of adventure and passion, traveling the world in search of new discoveries. And when he finds something new, he is always willing and eager to share his adventures and discoveries with others. He has discovered so many new things in Ecuador over the past couple of years while he and his family have been living there, that he planned an Amazon Adventure for distributors to see firsthand all the amazing things taking place there. A few of us from corporate staff accompanied the group last week, and it was absolutely unforgettable!
Training and Tours
Over 300 distributors participated in training sessions led by Gary Young while in Ecuador, and the group also toured the town of Baños, the city of Guayaquil, and the Young Living Ecuador Farm, Finca Botanica. The farm covers more than 2,000 acres of virgin land in an area that has an ideal climate for year-round growing. It is an absolutely breathtaking farm! I was in awe of its beauty--lush, green rolling hills, a gorgeous reservoir, and hundreds of acres recently planted with aromatic plants. The Young Living farms are located in ideal areas that provide clean air, rich soil, and ideal climates for growing superior plants and herbs. You can see how beautiful it is in the slide show below. (You may need Flash Player 9 to view it.)
Gary Young expressed to the group that, "Young Living is a company that is built on a solid foundation from the ground up. What you have doesn't exist anywhere else!" With four farms in three countries, Young Living continues to devote its resources to developing and growing the purest, finest crops of aromatic plants for the distillation of essential oils. The Ecuador farm will soon grow the plants needed to produce an abundance of essential oils, both from the newly discovered aromatic plants in Ecuador to the plants and oils that are in scarce supply throughout the world.

RutaVaLa's Story
RutaVaLa is a proprietary blend of Ruta graveolens (rue), lavender, and valerian. The Ruta graveolens herb is farmed, harvested, and distilled at Gary Young's farm in Ecuador. Use of the rue herb dates back many centuries and is referenced in the Bible as an herb to be tithed. When combined with lavender and valerian, this trio of essential oils is formulated to relax the body and mind, counter stressed nerves, and revitalize passion.
