SALT LAKE CITY—March 4, 2014—Young Living, the World Leader in Essential Oils®, is pleased to sponsor Mitch Seavey, musher and winner of the 2013 Iditarod, in the 2014 race as he and his team of dogs race to recreate last year’s victory.

In this demanding annual event, competitors travel across 1,000 miles of Alaskan wilderness, pulled by a powerful team of sled dogs. With harsh conditions throughout the entire Iditarod, the physical and mental toll of the race can be heavy for the dogs and the mushers.

Seavey relies on Young Living essential oils to help him and his team stay well, revitalized, and motivated. Says Seavey, “We’ve tried to use bulk essential oils that are cheaper, but we just don’t get the same results. All I can say is that from my experience, if I’m going to do anything with oils, I’m going to use Young Living. Buying anything else is just a waste of money.”
