The Young Living investigation studies the effects of exposure to the extraterrestrial environment on plant seeds and essential oils. Researchers expose seeds to the space environment then germinate and grow them to maturity on the ground and extract essential oils. The plant growth and composition of essential oils are compared to those from controls kept on the ground.
