DR. YOUNG TEACHES:
The following four videos were made in the early 1990's. They are very unassuming, even amateur in quality, but utterly engaging and enthralling because of Dr. Young's obvious sincerity, expertise, and passion for the oils and for healing. These tapes are a wonderful bargain and a great way to meet Dr. Young. A set of all four can be had for only $20.
