I am a firm believer in having basic natural emergency remedies on hand for when any of my family get sick. I have a few basic essential oils like lavender, ginger, oregano and peppermint. But, what about you. Are you prepared for an emergency? What if you could not get immediate medical attention. What would you do? Thankfully, I recently came across a helpful article from backdoorsurvival that lists 10 emergency survival essential oils. I am not a prepper, more of an urban survivalist. However, I believe every home should have emergency medicine (natural and traditional) not just for disasters but for everyday minor medical emergencies.

One has still got to be careful with essential oil. You should NOT ingest it unless working with a certified aromatherapist. Young living distributors are not certified aromatherapists. Be careful,…essential oil if not used with caution can be dangerous.
What are the possible dangers of using essential oils, any brand? I know there are tons when using pharmaceutical.
I think it’s ridiculous to think people have the time, or resources to build a distillery in our yard when young living has spent decades perfecting the process and we are able to buy their oils that never expire to keep on hand.
so what oil is good for toothache ? I need to start getting my basics I have some . I need something for achy feet, n asthma and body ache.
CPTG is a trademarked term it actually doesn’t mean anything. Lore is correct and oils shouldn’t be ingested except under the care of a trained aromatherapist and even then it is only for an intended purpose for a short period of time. People really need to research outside what a MLM tells them. Something as simple as a drop of citrus oil in a gl$#%&!@* of water can do damage internally.
Tonya Lockwood when are we getting you started with doTERRA?
Love my oils..
A coworker had been doing the same thing Michelle, until she started having problems with her throat and found out she damaged her esophagus. Same companies oils too! Be careful and read the incident reports online.
I am allergic to melaluca. Please be careful and test on a small patch of skin before using. I just get an itchy rash for a week or more but it is best to avoid it for me. Then again i can’t use neosporin either.

This article has a lot of good information on ingesting EO’s.
I can help you with Young Living Oils. I love them,my kids love thrm. Most of all I love a company that is all about you and paying it forward..
Rea Kirkland this is a good read
I love my Young Living Essential Oils. They have helped me and my family get off meds from everything to allergies and eczema to migraines and nerve damage. I could not – will not- live without them anymore!

Woo, you’d have to have acres and acres of your own farmland! 🙂
I guess I might as well jump on the bandwagon too.
I take care not to mislead others when sharing about EO’s. I’ve been a nurse for 30 years, have a BSN and have been safely ingesting EO’s rated GRAS for years. 95% of EO use is common sense though I’m very aware that is a rare commodity these days!
I love do Terra use nothing else
I don’t leave home without them…. YL is also the new look in my medicine cabinet…. slowly but surely…
Pat Patricia Marion Barnes
We use both young living and do terra oils daily. They are the best. Love them
I love my #ameoessentialoils….they are scientifically proven to be the best 🙂
I found this on King Tuts Tomb…The perfumed ointment found in Tutankhamun’s tomb was of a solid nature, although it was noted that it melted and became more viscous within the heat of a hand. Observers at the time found the aroma similar to coconut oil and also remarked that it resembled the scent of valerian (Valeriana officinalis), the first tip-off to what the jar probably contained.
The perfume was $#%&!@*yzed in 1926 and was found to consist of a “neutral animal fat” and a resin or balsam. At the time they were unable to be more specific. However, the primary fragrant component is now believed to be valerian’s close cousin, the ancient and precious Spikenard (Nardostachys jatamansi).

Such a cool article!
I think negative people suck!
YLEO’s ROCK!!!
Brittany Roscheck Rebecca Fila Gillespie
You mean all the negative ones who are afraid to try, or the negative ones who don’t like rugged individualism cutting into their commissions?
Thanks got a tooth pulled that still aches. Going to Hosp
I have all but 2!! those are on my must have list now!
Kerry, I’m sorry that is not true.
I’m sorry Irma, but I’m going to go with what my instructor is telling me who has many years of experience. There is a lot of risk involved when ingesting oils.
Best results for me is with young living. I love the Seed to seal process YL is only company in world with this standard and I love that members can volunteer at harvest and go through the complete process. It is an amazing experience. A company with over 20 years experience and largest essential oil company in world. Only one I found where the founder is on the farms, at the distilleries, going through the process keeping highest standards.
Life changing yes, ingesting can damage the esophagus and mucosal layer of the stomach. Repeated damage of the esophagus can give you Barrett’s esophagus which can lead to cancer. Damaging the mucosal layer of the stomach leads to ulcers. Much safer to apply to skin above area properly diluted and get the same results.
YLEO all the way!! Seed to Seal!!
I’m sure no matter if you have doTERRA or young living, they will help.
I love my doTERRA oils they are 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade. I am a wellness advocate and so thankful I am able to share with family and friends. I wish I could grow these oils and get the same benefits but there is no way possible I could grow these plants in TN and get the benefits that we get, because the plants that doTERRA uses are grown in the countries where they are native to and the farmers know how to harvest them just at the right time. So it is good to have this wonderful company to produce these oils for us to share with others. DoTERRA is also awesome because they also give back to all the countries that Produce these oils!! #doTERRAalltheway
I did my research and was completely amazed by Amèo essential oils . Clinical grade with science to prove it . Truly remarkable !!! Can check out here . http://ameo.com/media-center/studio-z/am%C3%A9o-clinical-grade. Also check out tammygoode.myameo.com

I love Doterra Essential oils, to know they are 3rd party tested and truly
100% PURE, not just to the guidelines given to be ‘called’ pure grade, I will be a lifer!! They have done wonders for me, my family, & friends!
I cannot say enough good things about YL Essential Oils. Life Changing!
Good stuff and must haves! Text me if your interested!
I love that site!
Well we would use what we have until we run out. You can make rudimentary oil out of a mason jar and vodka but I’d rather not. Lol.

You’re right Kerry, I would never ingest just any essential oils. Must are diluted and have been altered with chemicals. Young Living oils are pure and I ingest them daily. They are the only oils I trust. http://www.seedtoseal.com.
Please someone with experience weigh in on YL vs DT?
Have you tried Young Living? They’re the best!
Use’em, love’em, believe on’em! I think clove is my favorite!
A still can be built for 20.00, you people trying to sell what a company has brainwashed you into thinking is the only good oil are ridiculous. People used essential oils that they distilled themselves for thousands of years before your multilevel marketing companies came into existence.

Yes! Nikki Harkness Bindschatel, you can help your friends get started. Young Living oils are 100% pure essential oil! With a seed to seal promise!
McDonald’s hamburgers don’t have an expiration day, EO’s do.
I am armed with 8 of these 10 oils!!! They truly are an amazing addition to any home!
Love my Young Living Oils! 100%, no exception date ,I have 8 out of ten and will never be without! !!!
Victoria Bartelson-Cortinas – I believe that is something you have to look into and decide for yourself. My hope is that both companies are trustworthy and selling a pure product. I researched both and chose Young Living Oils because of their 5 step Seed to Seal process. I have young children and wanted the best $#%&!@*urance I could find that what I chose was safe. If you have any questions feel free to message me and best of luck with your research. My only regret is that I didn’t sign up with Young LIving sooner 🙂
@lexbossgmg
Michele Huff a cl$#%&!@* on this would be cool
Lisa Bledsoe I’m on it! I love that half of these are in the Young Living starter kit!
I totally disagree. Some plants can’t be grown in the US and all the expense of harvesting and distilling and packaging would not be economical. YL oils have no expiration date so if you buy them now to stock away for bad times, you don’t have to worry!
And by the way I don’t make ANY commissions from YL. I am a wholesale member but not in the business to make money, for me it’s about being healthy.
I ingest mine EVERY DAY, and have many oils that I use without ANY carrier.
It’s funny how “you shouldn’t ingest essentials oils because it could harm you” but people eat and drink crap everyday that has propylene glycol and carageenan and other PROVEN harmful ingredients. So I say live and let live and the pots need to stop calling the kettles black.
I have 6 of these!
Iva Mc Dougal Alexander Kim Brack
If it’s something you can ingest it is required by law to have an expiration date. And literally everything breaks down over time no matter what it is. In science lingo it’s called a half-life, which is the time it takes to breakdown into half the strength/potency/whatever of it’s original form.
Mandy if they are labeled food grade then they can be ingested. Soda (among so many other things) can erode the esophagus too but people drink that crap. I would much rather take my chances on an EO than soda. Some oils work better depending on the application in my experience. I use DoTERRA and love them. I have had no issues ingesting the food grade oils.
For the record… I use essential oils for their benefits to myself and my family… Not for commission. I am an RN and work full time to support my family. For me, using essential oils has nothing to do with making money. I share my experiences to help other people. If they use them.. Great. If not, that’s great too. I don’t actively try to sell them either. But so what if I did? I would also like to point out that I did lots of research before I started using essential oils and both companies that people have mentioned on here (DoTERRA and Young Living) are great oils. I have a medical background and find myself far from being “brainwashed”.
I agree with Katie. Both oils are great. I chose DoTERRA because their oils are sourced where the plant naturally grows. I also chose them because they are doing so much to help other countries. Putting in water systems, helping poor countries grow, giving people a chance at life. Look them up and you will see the amazing things they have done around the world to help others. Love it!!!
Kiddos to you! For the rest of us who do not have your resources, yippee for YLEO! Healthy living is the goal here folks.
Thank you! I have had some DoTERRA samples and really loved them. Thanks for your replies!
Love my Essential oils!!
I just signed up for doterra love the peppermint Beadlets!

#DoTERRAessentialoils ❤️
Thanks, Traci Reynolds!
Young Living Oils are food grade and doesn’t contain additives or fillers. I am comfortable with the way I utilize the oils. There are so many things that can damage the stomach lining. Even healthy foods cause problems w the stomach. Thanks for u concern.
The negativity from YL is so sad. Wish they could promote their oils with integrity instead of lies about their compe$#%&!@*ion. Also wish they’d be a bit more educated on their infamous seed to seal, or the need for expiration dates.
I love my Doterra oils…
Be very careful who you order oils from. Doterra is the only company that beyond organic, no additives, pesticides or contaminants, certified pure therapeutic grade that has third party testing. Order today! http://Www.mydoterra.com/lisadodson
Welcome Victoria! If you have any questions whatsoever I’ll be glad to share my knowledge with you. I’m still learning about essential oils after 15 years. Lol. I’m just happy that you’re loving oils for your family as much as I am!
Any questions about essential oils I would be glad to help point you in the right direction. I currently sell doTERRA ESSENTIAL OILS.
That’s just not possible for everyone! So for me…I LOVE my DoTerra

I like Prima Fleur essential oils and hydrosols.
young living has been around for 20 years. alot of its oils work really good
My husband once made a still with stuff we had lying around the house.
…
It’s my understanding that young living have carrier already in there oil.
Nadine Schoening Reynolds Doc
Cherie Green, this made me think of our talk today.
ummmmm doterra is not the only company. um young living too..
Mydoterra.com/simpleblends to get these oils
Your understanding is incorrect. There are a few oils in the rollerball collection that do, but all others do not. Let’s all agree to be kind and not bash others choices of oils. So tired of that!
I love my young living oils .This is why I became a distributor. Amazing changes in my families life.
http://mydoterra.com/nbmt
Doterra is the best-use several of them daily!
Which is better and why & are you paid in products or pointsm Please explain. Thanks! doTerra or Young Living oils?
I ingest and they WORK!! and help me, not hurt me!! Young Living!! http://www.seedtoseal.com
http://mydoterra.com/angeliathomas
NYR Organic essential oils have been around for 34 years. The absolute best!!! https://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/deniseagnew
Fantastic approach to informing the consumer, bravo!
I have to say I am in love with my dōTERRA essential oils and what really speaks volumes to me is how they are a Billion Dollar company as of December 2014 and the first company to do this in less than 20 years!! The only other company who has done this is NU Skin and that took 17 years. It took dōTERRA 8!! dōTERRA has even p$#%&!@*ed Apple in sales this year and that’s completely amazing! It just completely blows me away. I am so happy to be apart of this amazing movement:)
I agree with Becky CPTG has no standing for anything it is not regulated by anything and anyone can slap that label on their oils doesn’t make that oil any better than the next. Education is very important, I use oils but I do not ingest others do, I am a rep with a company but would never tell a hostess or customer to ingest our oils or any others for that matter it is a personal choice and each person needs to do their own research.
There are numerous oil companies out there including DT YL Simply Aroma, Ameo, Mountain Rose and the list goes on. It is a shame that a rep from a company is uneducated in not only the other companies out there but that they go on and on about how theirs our the best! Each person has the right to be with whatever company they choose and each person has the opportunity to buy from one of these companies but until you have personally researched each company yourself and know what a research and test result is your statement is very uneducated. There are many great oils out there from each company and everyone has there own preference but for you to say DT is the only company is not only a false statement but uneducated and only shows the integrity of the reps of the company and their lack of eduction their distributors. Very sad
“A deposition in Utah court by Dr. Robert Pappas, shows that Young Living Essential Oils under the leadership of D. Gary Young p$#%&!@*ed off synthetic oils as authentic for jasmine and birch oils, which were conclusively found to be synthetic oils.”
“Dr. Pappas found that a particular birch oil was not authentic but “it turned out that sample was methyl salicylate.” which is generic wintergreen fragrance used in beverages”
Ok that is one company and there are numerous battles between YL and DT because the higher ups of DT came from YL there is much speculation with both companies can you show me research on all the other oil companies out there that prove yours are better is what I’m saying you are just saying yours are better than YL and the battle goes on and from what I have been told by reputable DT reps DT reps are not suppose to bash other companies. Again how can you prove you are the best, like I said very uneducated post
I didn’t bash anyone – I only said be careful who you buy your oils from.
Best course of action is NOT to treat yourself. Chances are you will misdiagnose the problem resulting in possible serious consequences. There are certainly legitimate alternative medicine approaches to most problems, but you have to first separate the practice from the product before you proceed. This is an adverti$#%&!@*t to sell a product. Keep that in mind.
After a great deal of research and educating myself on essential oils, I chose doTERRA because of the fact that they are the ONLY EOs out there that are Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade. Most (not all) of the oils are ingestible. I spoke with reps from several companies as well as researched processing, shelf life, uses, and the list goes on. As a nurse of 25 years, and a mom of 3, my family and health are of utmost importance to me. I have yet to have anyone from any of the companies I researched impress me as much as doTERRA. I commend anyone on choosing to enhance their health. My choice to use doTERRA and to later become a wellness advocate had zero to do with all the bashing that goes on between consultants…..strictly on my own research.
From what I read lisa did not bash anyone. She suggested to be careful! She specifically stated facts on doTerra and young living but did not criticize either.
I am right there with you!
If you have not experienced dōTERRA essential oils now is your chance. Private message me for details.
Karen I would say to you to do your own research into all the different oil companies as the two you listed are not the only two companies out there and each company rep will tell you that there oils are better but you should always educate yourself into the different companies and what oils do for your health and how they should be used before you make any decision. These reps from these two companies you mentioned make money selling their products no points and I’m sure they are offered specials from time to time to earn free oils, they don’t work for free they are suppose to be educators for oils and spread the word the benefits of oils in general and they make money from their sales just like any other company.
Actually it is not required to have an expiration date or the FDA would not approve them too brut in they GRAS list. Just because you are in a network maiming company doesn’t mean the facts aren’t accurate. The FDA is working on guidelines that all essential oil companies will have to follow to market their oils and back up their claims. Young Living’s own Gary Young had been asked to write those guidelines. He has been researching and perfecting EO science for 3 decades and every other company is only out there because they see the potential and are benefiting from his hard work and dedication to quality and perfection. From the seed in the ground to the bottle it comes in, the company has it’s own farms and full oversight of planting, harvesting, distillation, and bottling. Nothing compares to Young Living, period!
Too bad the term “pure therapeutic grade” is a patent on a phrase rather than an actual scientific term used to evaluate essential oils.
Well said Brenda Davis!
I’ve been ingesting several oils twice a day for over a year and a half now as a tool in my fight against Lyme disease and all I’m doing is getting better. I have been sick with it for 22 years and have literally tried everything. I have had an extremely compromised immune system because if it. If Young Living EOs were dangerous to ingest then I should be dead now, not out of bed and functioning better than I have in years.
Jennifer Middleton I am so happy for you. Great that u found something that works. I think some people are misinformed about which oils you can ingest.
That’s great for those who are healthy. I’ve had Lyme disease for 22 years. Half of those years have been spent in my bed. I have tried every possible solution to get better. I started unsung Young Living EOs a year and a half ago and have give Finn 10-30% ability to function to 70%. We spent over 150K trying to get me better and yet nothing worked. Why then would I now trust any other brand st this point? These oils are cheap compared to the thousands of dollars we’ve gives to medical prac$#%&!@*ioners in both the allopathic and naturopathic communities. So those of you who are well can preach about living off the land while those of us who have been chronically ill BECAUSE of the land will continue to get better using what had been tried and tested.
Lena Inez Santiago Lmt. Got most of these but need to add a few more.
Most of the oils listed come in doTERRA’s Family Physician Kit. I have to say, it’s pretty disheartening to see some of the ugly comments and outlandish claims people make on here about EO’s and to each other. Personally, I chose doTERRA for my family after a great deal of independent research and taking the time to educate myself regarding EOs. I researched several different companies, their claims, their processes, etc., and found that doTERRA was the best option for my family. Clearly, some of the people on here have failed to do their own research, and basically regurgitate anything they are told, and that’s unfortunate, because they are doing themselves AND the people they attempt to share EOs with a great disservice. People should be commended for being proactive about their health and not have to endure criticism for which EO company they choose. Knowledge about anything is power, and ignorance is dangerous. Yes, some oils CAN be ingested, and some oils should be diluted, but to bash others isn’t helpful or beneficial to anyone, and to be honest, I would be turned off by any representative who made false claims about oils or bashed another oil company. I know there are reps with ALL the companies who criticize and bad mouth the other companies….shame on you! Personally, when I made the decision to graduate from a consumer to a consultant, I did it so I could share with others the great things I’ve learned and experienced with doTERRA. But I encourage people to do their own research so they can make a choice that best suits them.
Becky Riley……how can it do damage internally? Elaborate?
Karen Rynearson……do you distill blue tansy?
Yes, you can. Thieves from Young Living kills bacteria. And I am sure there are others. Plants are so healthy! I use garlic a lot for viral and bacterial problems. It’s a natural antibacterial anti fungal and antiviral.
Love my Young Living oils. Whatever brand young with just make sure they are pure therapeutic grade otherwise you will end up with synthetic chemicals and junk and will lose the healing power of the plant.
… Or u could pack some actual medicine that works!

Really? Gary Young writing guidelines? Less than a year ago the FDA appears less than pleased…
http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2014/ucm416023.htm
Omg love my Young Living Essential oils! Changed my life!
Young Living isn’t the only one that the FDA was less than pleased with. DoTerra as well.
Anja Hollinger, Chrissy Kosmicki
Sorry Kerry you have been misled, you certainly can ingest EO’s especially when they are of high quality like Young Living
I love my Young Living essential oils!!!!!!!
Anyone interested in quality essential oils should remove themselves from this group! Bashing each other is not helping anyone!
Heather Graham I use them everyday!!
I am a doTERRA CPTG fan!
Its obvious to all those who posted their comments about other EO companies that you do not know how fb paid advertising works although you are boosting the visibilty by all your comments, its very rude to post your biz link on someone else’s paid advertising.
Jennifer Middleton I’m very interested in your regimen for Lyme disease. I’m a YL distributor and have a family member with Lyme and would love to help. I just don’t know enough about it. Did you seek a Dr before starting or just on your own. Please PM me with details if time allows. Thank you!
For someone so apparently educated, you have a reading comprehension issue. As those warning letters address issue with independent representatives, not the product itself.
As for Gary Young $#%&!@*isting the FDA….pulllleeeeze! THIS is how rumors start
Theraputic is what oils are. Period
Even the top of the essential oil food chain experts, often misquoted by the way, agree that ingestion of pure oils, for specific reasons, in reasonable amts. Is perfectly acceptable.
If it is true that repeated contact with essential oils and mucus membrane causes issue, listerine would have eaten holes through people’s mouths for ages
Susana Ramirez, Chace Spillman
Devora Leon thank you so much!!! 🙂
I love my doTerra Essential Oils. I take the vitamins, make my own cleaning supplies and laundry soap. Use all of the doTerra facial cleansers and lotions, and make my own antibiotics and take them internally. In the last two years I’ve been healthier than I ever have before. I used the toothpaste and had the best dental checkup I’ve ever had. I LOVE my oils!!
I thought this was so helpful for you two guys, since susy is being sooo sick, this last week, especially yesterday and today
Oilers rock!
Everyone and their mother is a distributor.
Not all of them are.
Dumb question but how do u use them??
I have suffered from Behcets Disease for a few years now! I’ve been in severe pain and refuse to take pain meds. I’m also in the medical field! If found relief in Doterra oils and believe they are a miracle for me! I believe in them so much I became a wellness rep!
Young Living takes the guess work out of which are safe to ingest with an FDA certified food supplement label on each bottle. Just lift the flap to see. Becky King, I have a Lyme Literate Naturopath or LLND as they are called in the Lyme world and she is the one who helps determine which oils I need each visit with an Elite Zytoscan. My regimen is tailored specifically too my needs.

YL oils are also sourced from around the Globe. We either own the farm or partner with an established grower that meets our standards. YL also allows the public and it’s members to visit the farms, no matter where they are located. You are right-most important to do research and understand where your oils come from, how they are tested, how the plants are grown and harvested. Cheap oils give both our companies a bad name when no one researches.
Ignorance is so shameful!!. Go and get yourself educated. HTovar,PhD chemist
If u have done diligent research you will find that doterra has raised the bar for quality and their standards go above and beyond their compe$#%&!@*ors.. In fact, they really don’t have a suitable compe$#%&!@*or at this point. Do your research friends!!!
LOL Do you think you’re the only person on the planet with a degree or initials after your name? You act like it’s a completely impossible feat. I $#%&!@*ure you it’s not, despite what the FDA would like you to believe. I personally know of several holistic healers and herbalists that have their own home labs.
One can obtain any variety of formal college degrees, usually taught by textbook “experts” that went from a student’s chair to a teachers podium who have never actually done anything they teach. Letters after a name mean nothing, except to those who are easily impressed by framed diplomas and not actual experience in the field.
Ignorance is being willfully dependent instead of being self-sufficient. Holistic healers have been distilling plants and herbs; making medicinal extracts and tinctures for thousands of years. Essential oils are nothing new, neither are the multi-level, pyramid scheme marketing plans used by most, not all, companies to hock them.
I am really amazed by the intensity of the hostility raised by my comment about being as self-sufficient as possible, as if that were a bad thing. It is sad how afraid people are to step out of their co-dependent comfort zones; so much so that they can’t even tolerate someone suggesting they should be as self-reliant as possible in case a major disaster should occur.

I love my young living oils!
Gary Young is a Registered Aromatherapist (not certified) a naturopathist (MD in natural medicine) and there are MD physicians, a surgeon that I know also, pharmacists, and RN’s like myself (20 yrs) and other medical personnel using Young Living Essential oils! They are amazing, have great guidelines and studied and researched uses and how to use them (diffusion, topically using appropriate guidelines that are specific and given fir each oil, and yes some orally).
There are 3 Schools of thought when it comes to essential oils:
English: small amts of oil in large amts carrier oil for m$#%&!@*age.
French: topically and/or ingestion for oils
German: inhalation
We can learn from each of them:)
I recommend know your oil company: if they say only for diffusion only diffuse (but I would suspect they might not be pure)
If they say topically use topically but I would want to know more details
And yes if they say they can be ingested…know the facts, details, and farms, chemical $#%&!@*ysis of the oils, etc and people that have used them you trust and know to be true.
It’s not like the FDA is going to approve natural things:)
And I recommend take it to God to show you also:)

From help w bed bugs when you travel try Medieval Mix; to aiding a cold and more essential oils are the greatest.
Shelley that was quite a harsh quip back. Leesa simply stated her understanding was… Maybe she was specifically talking about a rollerball that already had carrier oil in it. Simply educate people without attacking maybe a better way of handling a situation such as this. Just an opinion…. Not bashing oils by any means.

I use a cream I make with panaway, valor, peppermint, lemongr$#%&!@* and coconut oil. I usually use it with YL’s Deep Relief Roll On, every day. When the pain is really bad, I layer valor, wintergreen and RC. They have a m$#%&!@*age oil called Ortho Ease that is nice to use with other pain relieving oils, too. Good luck finding something that works for you.

Did you know young living essential oils can help a founding horse? It’s true! I had a friend who had just bought a horse after three days of vet visits they couldn’t help the founding horse. The owner took a bottle of essential oil and poured it down the horse’s throat and the horse recovered shortly after.
You can ingest some oils but they have to survive the digestive process to make any impact. EO’s are most effective through aromatherapy and carrier oils through the skin. This is what I’ve found after much research into how oils work. I find they work better for myself and my family this way.
Depending on the oil and the desired result you can apply topically mixed with a carrier oil or use aromatically in a diffuser or on your sleeve, etc. some companies are labeled as safe to ingest, meaning the FDA has said they are “generally recognized as safe”.
Would these oils work for someone with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis?
Also Doterra is only company that does 3rd party testing and over 30% of the oils don’t make our cut and are sold to other oil companies…..we only sale CPTG which means they are proven 100% organic and safe and have medicinal properties! We are also the ONLY essential oils company to receive GRAS labeling from fda….generally regarded as safe for human consumption which means yes you can take them internally (injest)! I love Doterra and did hours of research before choosing what oil company I was going to be a wellness advocate for and hands down DoTERRA won out. They are high quality oils I have personally used to help with many conditions I’ve faced and my family have faced. There are certain oils I’ll never be without!

I chose Young Living because of their integrity and Seed to Seal. It’s a common misconception that Young Living doesn’t do third party testing (they do!) and that they don’t grow the plant in it’s natural habitat (They do! -they have farms all over the world)
Julie Davidson I sent you a private message, check your other folder.
I have all of the medicine cabinet oils from Young Living. I use oils everyday of my life for one thing or another.
Lisa – You didn’t bash anyone but you made a false statement and you need to be better informed. There are other companies who are organic, pure and have 3rd party testing.
I am so glad that doTerra has helped you so much; however, be careful when you use ONLY. That is an absolute and there is at least one other company that is pure, organic, therapeutic grade and 3rd party tested.
It is, of course, your choice as it is for oilers. Essential oils do work for millions of people all over the world and have been working since 4500 BC in Egypt.
I especially like Valor and Stress Away. They can be put on the skin or diffused into the air.
Manuka honey is incredible.
Please know your facts before you make a statement. ONLY is an absolute and there is at least one other company that does 3rd party testing on every oil distilled.
Glad you are happy with doTerra oils and I’m happy they have had a phenomenal growth rate, but please read your doTerra history. They were started in May 2008. They will be 7 years old May 2015 so your statement of 8 years is inaccurate.
You guys sound like commercials. 🙁 must be a multi level marketing company, sheesh save the spiel
Following!!
Have them all. Love my oils
Can you send me the rheumatoid arthris regimens?
Young living is my love.
YL Oils rock. I choose my oils over medication any day!
I love dõTERRA because ALL of our oils come from where God put them to grow. We don’t try to grow them on our own in a greenhouse. We choose to to give back to local farms and workers with pour amazing program Healing Hands. I am so thankful for doTERRA.
I use Young Living and ingested 15 drops of oils just today in a capsule. Love Young Living and use them everyday. Started with another oil then found out they cannot be ingested. Well Young Living can and they work wonders. Will never use another brand ever again
My Young Living EO Team is having a PSK X (Premium Starter Kit eXplained) online cl$#%&!@*. We will go over the benefits and different things u can make with the Essential Oils in the kit. The best part is you get to participate in the comfort of your own phone. Please PM me to reserve your spot!
Julie and Angie, rheumatory arthritis is awful. My nephew has it. I make him the pain cream and he loves it. I’d love to make u a sample to see how it works for you. These YL EOS are so amazing. I just want everyone to feel good. Please PM me ur address and I will send u out a sample.
Great info
Glen Ryan check it out.
Wow Karen you need to read a book called The Last Lecture and just understand life! Self sufficient is great, and I believe we all have that in out every day life. But, when u learn the true meaning of “just living” that is the key to self sufficient success!
Do you know how many lbs of these plants out will take too get a decent amount of oil? There it’s no way a person with average property could grow enough to distill on their own.
Love my DoTerra oils.
Do terra broke off and started from young living by people who worked for young living…..there’s lots of info on why choose one over the other….no need to bash…..just research…..for me the choice was clear…..20 years in business, more blends, seed to seal quarantee and owning their own farms and distilleries…..nothing outsourced or synthetic like others
How about hives?
What did you use for your eczema I am also a distributor of Young Living Oils
My son and daughter have eczema, my daughter has been seen at some of the top Children’s Hospitals around the country, and nothing has helped like the oils. I mix half and half coconut oil and shea butter, then whip it into a cream while adding melrose, mel-a, frankincense, lavender, and purification. I will use Rose Ointment on them, at times, as well. Rose oil is supposed to be excellent, but I haven’t tried it yet. Good luck!

I Think everyone Should have one! I have,

Hostility breeds hostility. Why not let people make their own personal health decisions without judgment?
I’m sure a superior at$#%&!@*ude will sway many toward your way of thinking.
Is this the one you are thinking of?? I PM’d you, but went to the “other” inbox. I will text you later after we do Easter with the family! Happy Easter.
As of now , the FDA has not graded any oil company.
I completely agree!
I am with simply aroma if anyone is interested. Please contact me. And we have a special you can get on board for only $20 shipped. Pm if you’re interested I will send u the link.
That’s why I’m dependent upon doTERRA love my oils.
Yes, our yl oils are so superb that doterra felt the need to steal our “pure therapeutic grade” signature as well as other things our amazing yl co does that yl filed a lawsuit and we are very successful in our progress with that. We don’t have expiration dates because we are pure. Luv young living!
Sarah Stutzman Elizabeth Stutzman ChrisandKarista Stutzman Tonya Wells
The sheer amt of plants one would have to grow, harvest and distill for one ounce of oil is astounding. Not do-able for the average human..
Yet people pop pills every day…..agreed!
I ❤️young Living!
I love barefut. Not an MLM great quality and… you get freebies every month.
I like doterra too. But also use other brands. I just love EOs 🙂
What about oils for fibro and lupas?
I need help with fibro and lupas
That’s awesome Monica! THAT’S what it’s all about….taking measures to take control of your health and make the choices that are best for you! EOs are so awesome, but not that many people use them. And in MY opinion, for a newcomer just being introduced to EOs, hearing advocates bash other oil companies, and regurgitate information the someone has TOLD them without confirming it for themselves, is doing a huge disservice to the new person. I do my best to give people FACTS, and highly encourage them to do their own homework and research what I’ve told them! Education is power! I want to GIVE ppl the power to take their health into their own hands with informed decisions….not a bunch of hooey!
Absolutely JJ King. I can PM u with info.
I would use some Lavender Essential Oil.
I don’t go a day without my Young Living essential oils 🙂
Right?!
I would be questioning the no expiration. Also oils need handled properly to extend their life.
There is no certification for therapeautic grade oils. If you love do Terra or YL yay for you but please stop the ignorant sales spiel.
Young Living,,,the ONLY oils to use. Nature and pure enough to ingest orally!
Glad to see Améo mentioned as my friends and family have recently converted and we still cannot believe we found oils that work even better than the ones we were using.
With Améo I can know that the bottle of oils I’m holding in my hand have actually been tested for cell permeability, affording all those wonderful cons$#%&!@*uents an opportunity to work their systemic magic; and that they do!
YL does not expire. I’m not trying to convert anybody or downgrade other oils and just trying to educate people I was one of those people that when I got into trying or oils I tried many that were not what they said they were and I hate to see people use their money and not get the full benefits that’s all
JJ King I have fibromyalgia and lupus that’s the reason why I got into oils and I tried a few different companies before youngliving I wasn’t getting the full benefits I was getting a minimal benefits and I thought every company was like best this last year has been amazing I hardly take any medications it gives me so much relief and I hope that you can find relief 🙂
I’m into the Young Living Essential oils!! So works!!!
I love my EO’s
Hey Katie U know anything about essential oils?
Doterra all the way !!!!
Lavender, lemon, and peppermint together for allergies.
Which is better, doTerra or Young Living? Why?
Which is better, doTerra or Young Living? Why? Feel free to PM me.
It does pay to do your own research. Keep in mind that I used to sell DoTerra. Young Living has the only patent seed to seal process. Meaning they do the research as to which land to use, plant their own seeds, cultivate and harvest their own crops and distill on the same property that the plants are grown. No other company in the USA can claim this. They control every step to make sure you are getting 100% pure and therapeutic grade oils. That is why they have such high quality oils compared to other companies.
Yes I choose the French style, every way every day!!
Are there oils for uterine fibroids? Cysts? And other issues with retained uterine lining? Over all health of the uterus and female reproductive system?

Tara Catherine Claire Reid I PMed u some information on the issues you mentioned.
That is not the way to safely use an oil.
Yes they help animals as well.
Why is it bothersome to you that another company uses therapeutic in its name? Oils are a gifts from Nature available to anyone….
I think her concern is that Do Terra was started by disgruntled young Living employees. They also took proprietary information with them. I wouldn’t trust that type of company
Let’s remember that as EO enthusiasts we are on the
There isn’t certification on therapeutic grade (it is a trademarked term) and I’m not a fan of DT at all, but I absolutely believe in pure essential oils.

Really? The vets couldn’t do anymore and she was left to die. Yes letting her lead a painful death is better you are right. 3 days vets worked on her and could not do anymore.
I use the be young oils! Love them!

I have seven out of the 10 listed…Love my doTERRA!
But not practical in many cases congrats that you can do this
Made me think of you Zx Rx
Oh the doterra brainwashing. … lol
Oh the mlm brainwashing is rather entertaining. Not
We use Alma naturals. Safer, easier and affordable. Non of that MLM brainwashing crap.
Yes. Oils from alma naturals are the finest you can buy and much lower prices because you aren’t paying for someone’s down line
In love with Young Living EO

I started using the toothpaste a few months ago and now I can’t wait to go to my dentist appt in a few weeks. I noticed a significant change, for the better, in my gums after a short period of time !!!
I’ve never heard of someone overdosing on essential oils. At the oils convention we were told there are only 2 oils that should not be taken orally….jasmine and I can’t remember the other (hadn’t heard of it before). I take young living oils in pill form sometimes and love it!
I am a distributor for Young Living essential oils and use them everyday. I also take them by pill form. They are the best ever.
Young living is the only way to go! Over 20 years in business!

I’m a do Terra lover as well. But I do know that the CPTG is their own label. It isn’t something measured by the FDA. I’m considering bumping to consultant, but I’m having a hard time getting around that. ???? The other company, if i remember correctly, is in the same boat. While it all may be true, if it’s not regulated by some nutritional/safety guidelines, other than by the companies themselves, how can a consumer be certain? And please, correct me if I’m wrong. I’m asking for FACTS, not what you all think or have been taught. All the research I’ve done thus far, points to what I’ve mentioned above. Thank you in advance.
Onions, garlic, vinegar, On Guard or Thieves (depending on your preferences) oregano, melaleuca, cinnamon. Depending on where the infection is, there’s a natural oil to kick it in the butt. Yay, EO!!!!
doTERRA hires a third party to test and evaluate the purity of their oils, so the oils aren’t regulated strictly by doTERRA.
It’s nice to see responses, while correcting arguments made about the opposite company, and still be respectful. 🙂
I have DoTERRa. I love and use them daily. But I’m now curious. First time I’ve heard of Ameo. 🙂
Thanks for the recipes at the end of the story!!’
I use DoTERRa, but I see so many comments about the differences between them and YL. Did you experience DoTERRa before YL? I’m honestly curious, I’m trying to decide which company to invest further in. Thank you!
Can’t be any worse than all the gmo foods, preservatives, and chemicals in the foods we eat everyday. I doubt putting peppermint, lemon or lavender oil in my water is going to give me cancer. question more the ingredients of the food and drinks you ingest.
Jennifer Berger can you explain your comment to me. What is the misconception of seed to seal and expiration dates? thanks!
They have recently started last year….I worked for young living for 4 years and have found ameo to be the best!!!! They are not only clinically proven but scientifically proven by a Harvard graduate! Message me if you would like to chat and I will send you my #:)
I’ve done some research and have found that even though these are natural oils, they can and do interact with prescription drugs. One example being Coumadin/Warfarin. Please research before using any oils if you also take any type of prescription drug.

Yet another invitation for adverti$#%&!@*ts from all the woo MLM reps.
No company or group has the resources Doterra does. I’am an anesthesia provider. My family uses dōterra exclusively. They have all the science.
Young living therapeutic grade essential oils is the only way to go. Do your research!!! You will not regret it.
If you are going to invest in essential oils hands down nothing compares even remotely to Ameo essential oils. They hold their oils to the clinical grade Standards that are used in pub med studies and are the only oil that has been proven cell permeable. Ameo only uses the first distill and will only bottle them if they match clinical grade standards,are cell permeable, and have the most active cons$#%&!@*uents. Really do your homework! A lot of oil companies use the 3rd to 6th distill which greatly compromises their effectiveness and after that they use chemical solvents to separate the oil from any unwanted cons$#%&!@*uents, their oils are then tested and whatever is then missing is added back in. Ameo does none of this, if it is not good from the 1st distill it is a no go. There are also batch numbers on the bottom of all the bottles you can plug in online and see how it measured up in testing. If anyone is looking for more info, I’m glad to help!
Kristin McKinnis…each company has their own claims and claims against the other.
🙂
Do terra here as well…agree with everything you have said…no bashing, so uncalled for..they work for my Family and that’s all I’m concerned about..
Young living the best
Kandus Lizzet-Escamilla Chelsea Lizzet Joanne Vincent and Shannon Pankey Murchie you should read some of these comments.
Will do!
I have been using essential oils long before it was known about in the general public. Love them! http://www.aromatherapysolutions .com don’t pay too much for therapeutic/medicinal grade oils.
Neither!! Judi Fitzsimmons is a highly experienced and certified aromatherapist for more than 20 years. She’s written a few books on the subject as well. She’s brilliant and knows her stuff. I trust no one else, least of all MLM companies. Check our her website at http://www.aromatherapysolutions. Com

So what are the 10? I can’t advance to the next page
Halie
Bridget Sullivan, different places work for different people. Places used the most for anxiety are back of neck, behind the ears, on wrists, and on big toe (that’s the vita flex point for the brain).
What’s good for anxiety and stress for a teenager and preteen? High school and middle school is stressful these days. TIA 🙂
Is anyone else having trouble loading this site to see what they think to be the top 10? So glad to hear many are using essential oils to better their health. What a blessing to have a choice on what brand and what type we want to use. Compe$#%&!@*ion is always good to help keep prices in line.
It is bothersome about the weaseling and stealing that went on. I personally didnt want any part of that. That is why i chose YL.
Also Peace and Calming
Uh they do work… Obviously. Lol
While essential oils may be useful this statement utterly ridiculous!!!!
In the apocalyptic event of “no medical help available” I’m fairly certain the local doTERRA rep isn’t going to be on FB taking orders….. Cute scare tactic.
You do realize that everything you put on your skin is being ingested into your body? I’d be more alarmed if it said “for external use only”…..generations long before ours ingested oils, but personally I would only ingest young living because I know what’s in there.
LOVE my oils!
Love my Young Living Essential Oils, they have worked for me for many different things.
Do terra is some what of an off brand from young living. Both are good quality oils it’s just a matter of price and selection of oils.
Isn’t the founder of DoTERRA a disgruntled Young Living employee who creates less superior quality oils & calls them “therapeutic grade”?
Try ingesting non-therspeutic oils. #hellobathroom
I use Young Living. There are many that you can ingest and many you can not. (More than 2) They are clearly labled.
Yes Toni Lee I heard the same thing
Is there anything that would help with alleries? My grandson is 3 and severely allergic to pollen and dogs:(
Also, has eczema.
I would use my burdock, mullein, thistle, and all other medicinally plants I have
I hope we all do our research
…. Not simply hearding haters gossip…
There is no brainwashing
When a co is as successful as DT there are always haters… I am alive today because of the highest quality of EOs that they provide that are safe to consume internally…. Look at the other bottles… When they say not for internal consumption and not for internal use ….. They have been adulterated…. Diluted…. And who knows what…. My friend has 9 doctorate degrees in science and has NEVER SEEN perfectly pure oils safe enough, unadulterated EOs in the world like doTERRAS…. So unless your a scientist and have all the facts…. Just sayin…..
I don’t have the space to distill my own oils, let alone weave my own gauze for bandages. There are somethings that I am happy to let someone else do. I garden and make some of my own tinctures, but no….I can’t do it all. Nor would I want to. It would give me no reason at all to create community with others. Iron sharpens iron.
Yes
If it works for people, mind your own damn business!
I’m a firm believer in doTerra for not only people but our furry babies. I have 2 Akita that were terrified of traveling, they would both cry the whole trip. I thought I would try lavender in a spray bottle. Now my furry babies can go camping with us.
I always kept a quart of 10W30 in the garage as an essential oil.
Tonilee, the doterra founders left the other company because they wanted to offer people a true therapeutic grade oil with no additives. And that is the DoTerra promise. Just try them and and see the difference. They are amazing!
I don’t go by name. I just stay away from MLM companies like Doterra and YL..
I am new to using essential oils but I love my Young Living oils!!! Can’t imagine going without them.
Young Living all the way! But I’m not saying I am no longer dependent on anyone else for my family’s health needs, just a healthier alternative.
Actually, in many places of the country today this is a real scenario in the aftermath of natural disasters. Tornados, Hurricanes, floods, fires, blizzards, etc. can easily cut you off from emergency services. I may not be taking orders but I sure would be happy to use my essential oils for my family, friends, and neighbors should minor injuries or infections occur, until medical services are available.

Nancy Dennett Ducharme can u add this to the files on ur page?
Love my young living essential oils, especially when I’m travelling.
I have tttt Iliketttt
My wife and I hVe been very pleased with Plant Therapy. Free shipping and not mlm company. They also make an effort to educate their customers rather than having to believe everything that a mlm vendor says just to make a buck. They are high quality at half the price also.
I love my young living oils!!
I love my young living oils!!!!
I love my young living oils!!!!
Just curious..so many preach DoTerra so many preach YL BUT y’all SELL it meaning you make MONEY from preaching it. It’d be nice to read from people that DON’T SELL IT ! I use to be in mlm so I know how it works and recognize spiels .
Heather Straight Jacqueline Fox
Kristy these are the ones I’ve been telling you about and sharing things with you Doterra would love to invite you to a free cl$#%&!@* and come talk to you in person about these
^^ and why the owners of a certain company left YL because if shady dealings with the owners of YL lol
Noo lol Jennifer Rudella those are rumors. The lady left and tried to take recipes she tried to copy what Young Living already was doing that’s a shady situation and being a young Living distributor I don’t like to talk down about other companies there’s many more things that I could say in regards to some of the oil companies that are out there and how shady they are but I won’t because I did my research and I feel very comfortable knowing the company that I’m with. It seriously gives me comfort knowing I could go to any of the farms and I can volunteer to work right here in Portland Michigan where I live there is a lady that is going to work on the farms with her horse to help plow and they’re using the oils on animals including horses that are in races and have injuries. What other companies do you know will let any of their distributors come and help out and volunteer at any point in time any day just because?? They don’t have anything to hide that’s my point they are not shady there a hundred percent true I just don’t like seeing other people waste their money I know I also don’t work and then they get upset and think that all oil companies are the same and it’s all a bunch of hippie stuff that doesn’t work well that’s not the case when she start using a company that is actually a hundred percent pure therapeutic grade that can be ingested that is approved and that is all natural yes it makes a big difference.
Kristann Stewart Gillies YL is all you say about DT too 🙂
Learning coping skills and developing social support…prolly not an oil for that
No such thing as therapeutic grade it’s not FDA regulated and ingestion of the oils can impact current medications. These company’s peddling oils are pyramid schemes
Hi Dana
I am just going through my comments. apologies for the delay. You mentioned pyramid scheme. I only provide information. I don’t sell anything on my site. Thanks for your comment.
C$#%&!@*andra, I sent you a private message. Check your “Other” folder!
if you are interested in trying this as a kit… I can help you!
Hi… What young living oils can you use to help with a hair dye burn on the neck?
Need do Terra I’m your gal
Young Living 100% Essential Oils . I love them .
Kerry, I would encourage you to research more outside the source posted and your instructor. Your source, she is citing a certificate that can be earned online. And not sure on your instructor but before writing something off or arguing a point make an informed decision based on your research, for all things oil or not.
If you live in Bibb Co Or Tuscaloosa Co or Jefferson Co call me if you want to learn more . A meeting is coming soon .
What about oils for fibro and lupus?
I seriously do not understand the argument between doterra and young living. Honestly, does it really freaking matter THAT much? People chose their company why bash?
^^Jennifer, it’s sad that you weren’t there to witness the true shadiness of those who were FIRED from YL because of their poor business practices! They didn’t leave! They were walked out the door!! We have been with YL for over 15 years and on the inside! You have absolutely NO idea what you are talking about!
I love our Young Loving Oils. I love the fact that our family has been involved with YL for over 15 years and know, first hand, of their strength and high quality. This article was so wonderful but you always have those who want to “one-up” the good and write poor comments about something to extend their own nasty agenda! I am grateful for such a wonderful article by Natural Medicine Box. Haters are gonna hate! Gossip breeds worse gossip. Can’t we all just get along?! This has proven to be a ridiculous comment box. The article was informative and the oil being dropped into the hand is one I use all the time. Thank you for such a great post!
I can tell you that becoming a YL distributor is the best thing I have done. .. message me if you like and I can answer any questions you have 🙂
Just because you become a distributor for YL doesn’t mean you have to sell. .. that’s one of the reasons I agreed to join the company. ..I just wanted to be able to get the best oils for wholesale price. … for me. ..getting someone signed up as distributor is an extra bonus… but not the main reason I joined. I wanted to have the freedom to buy whatever I want whenever I want without a middle man…get it for 24% less than retail price. ..earn points as I go and use them later to get free products. 🙂
Love our oils!
I don’t have the desire to distill my own anything when someone already does an excellent job at it! Can you imagine an emergency happening and there I am trying to distill oils amongst absolute chaos….lol! I’d much rather lug around pre made bottles. That in itself is self sufficient, self reliant and it would be so much more easier to share with more people who need help. No electricity…no stove top distilling. A Tsunami would wipe out any other type of equipment or it would be too much to carry to higher ground. I’m thinking real emergencies, though…I live on an island.
You are dead wrong! I have been using them since July and feel amazing! No more sinusitis and I have tons of energy! I stopped taking my thyroid meds when my doctor lowered the dosage from 175 mcg to 100 mcg and they were still making me yawn all day! He told me they don’t know how much to give a person…they guess!!! Young living is a blessing not a pyramid scheme! They are helping people avoid toxins in meds and products! You obviously are only picking up talking points and false truths cuz if you experienced these amazing little drops of God (Dr. Wayne Dyer’s direct quote) you would not blvd trying to trash them! The FDA doesn’t regulate EO’s but YL has been in business 20+ years and their oils are pure and therapeutic because they have strict guidelines on how they’re made! They also have a seed to seal guarantee and some are ingestible! No additives whatsoever and 100% safe!
Oh and meds do not interact wit EO’s!!!
It’s much better to use natural oils than meds with side effects that are worse than what you’re issues are or that are loaded with toxins! Common sense always is needed when taking anything as well.
I belong to a YL group that has a huge support system. There are FB oil groups to learn and share stories and questions are always welcome. It’s a way of life and sharing the information is a part of it. People are taking and using meds and products that are full of toxins and this is a healthier and safer alternative for people and their families. I haven’t even takin so much as an aspirin since July! No Valium which I used to rely on for sleep and stress! These oils are a blessing! I say good enough for Jesus, good enough for me!!!

Young living oils have saved my life literally
Tonia Miske have you embraced essential oils??? It was like talking to a wall when I used them in the GI Lab and people were critical! Funny how that goes huh??? 😉
I am addicted… Loving my essential oils. I am using and promoting doTerra… Karen Suhs I would love to get together with you and let you teach me more cause I know your the expert… I’m a newbie!
I use young living..don’t sell it!!
Y’all are missing the point of my comment.I’m only referring to those on here that are repeating pretty much a sales pitch.I have friends that sell both DT and YL ,I have nothing against people selling it but I have some medical issues and am in several FB groups and like on here you can ALWAYS tell who sells stuff without them coming out and saying it.
Melissa check this out
I was wondering the same thing Kristi Riddle-Osgood I have thought about trying some of these oils but you just don’t know who to trust. I have neorapathy and I have severe pain and I just don’t have a lot of cash to just try something that doesn’t help with pain. Most of the time you have to use several oils combined so it’s not like I could buy 1 bottle and if it doesn’t work out oh well I’m out x amount of money it’s 2-3 times that amount. Thanks for asking the question that so many are afraid to ask.
Been doing oils for awhile any questions just ask
I absolutely love my YL oils! They are life changing!!!
Wow there are a lot of people who hate on DoTerra ! I love them so much – they work so well ! I have never tried YL so i can’t say anything negative about them – I just wish people weren’t so harsh in their comments:) I am just happy I found something that works for me personally!
How do you really use the essential oils?
Which oils would you use for a 3 year old with severe dog and pollen allergies? Also, eczema?
.
People have been using essential oils for who knows how long. I had a baby at home in 1981, studied up on natural therapies before then, etc. I was crunchy when crunchy wasn’t cool. Now these new MLM companies come out and try to convince consumers that NOBODY knew how to make essential oils in the thousands of years before Gary Living was even born. But you know what? People seemed to benefit from them and good companies marketed good oils WAY before he came on the scene to overprice the oils and justify MLM overpriced goods by claiming that nobody has ever made them correctly before or since. Whatever.
Carolyn Stjohn, I’m interested in how you managed to get off your thyroid meds with oils? Please share if you will, thank you!!
Long before the MLM marketing companies came into being, the common thread among EO users was that EOs are powerful (notice that they did not say, ” May be contaminated”) and should only be ingested upon the advice of a qualified aromatherapy or naturalpath prac$#%&!@*ioner.
To hear the people here talk, you’d think that nobody else in the world has ever manufactured and marketed high quality essential oils, and if it isn’t sold by an MLM company, it isn’t good enough. I think that is hogwash.
You need to do more research. Check out Robert Tisserand and look up the Injury Reports http://aromatherapyunited.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/AdverseDatabaseFinalFeb2015.pdf

Instead of telling Kerry to do more research, perhaps you should think outside the koolaid and do your research as well. I recommend looking up Robert Tisserand and looking at injury reports. EO’s are medicinal. They should be used under the direction of a licensed professional. I am sure this will only reach one or two of you but please consider for one second what you are doing to you and your family if ingesting or overusing these oils. I love my EO’s but I also love my family and if I thought there was even a slight chance I could be doing harm, I would take it seriously. I used to think like you, but now I know better. Do yourself a favor and look outside of what your Brand is saying. Look at what professionals with over 30 years experience are saying. Please!!

Instead of telling others to do more research, perhaps you should do your own research as well. I recommend looking up Robert Tisserand and looking at injury reports. EO’s are medicinal. They should be used under the direction of a licensed professional if taken internally and should ALWAYS be diluted when used topically. I am sure this will only reach one or two of you but please consider for one second what you are doing to you and your family if ingesting or overusing these oils.

(For the record, I use an MLM to get my oils so I am not trying to speak negatively on that. I just hate seeing the pain caused every day from improper use.)

I only use Young Living as well Jeanne and I can say with certainty that, even though some people may have sensitivity to certain oils, that I will only ever ingest Young Living Oils that I will read and make certain that are ingestible. These other companies, even ones that say therapeutic, are only trying to make money. Gary and Mary Young have been at this for 20 years and they have ingested these oils for these years, not dead yet from it. Go Young Living Essential Oils!

Here is a start to your first aid kit for the road
If that were true Leann why sue……the majority of YLs complaints have been thrown out of court! YL claims trade secrets were stolen……if you check public record those people left about the time Mr Young was being jail/charged with practicing medicine without a license and other felonies! You should not post in defense of someone when public record disputes what you know!
Fist of all the injury report is flawed! No do$#%&!@*ented medical files……only user accounts of reactions. Also by shear #s this do$#%&!@*ent proves that side effects are rare, mild to moderate, and negligible! Robert Tissarand states plainly that ingestion has its place! Tylenol says don’t take without consulting a MD…….
Love doTERRA!!
Yes! Amen sister! I have the same at$#%&!@*ude you do! Love it!
Only use doterra myself

Excellent. Shukran!!
Wow! Everyone has their preference. I have used young living oils. I also use Barefoot oils that are good. I do not sell any of these. Just tslk about how they have helped me and my family in the past. For the ones who want to take the time to distill go for it. I know my oils are 100% and available to me anytime!
Young living has enriched my life by helping others learn and gain knowledge to use! I love feeling helpful in a world filled with harmful toxins
Where do you get the oil from I live in Spartanburg South Carolina
I’m taking .75 mcg Levothyroxine and I got the result of my lab and my TSH is high. If I take this YL essential oil do this help me not to take this med since it’s making me still weak?
Those of you who think being able to distill their own oils to be truly independent are quite daft. Don’t you think a natural disaster may quite possibly wipe out the still? The plants themselves? My oils go everywhere with me and the extra ones I have are all in one place so IF I had to evacuate they are easily grabbed. I proudly use doTERRA oils. I proudly share them. I proudly educate people to be healthier and happier. I proudly make money, HELPING PEOPLE! What on earth is wrong with that? Doterra will be along forever. Remember this when you can’t find a pharmaceutical antibiotic, or a doctor around. I will have my oregano oil.
Doterra has their hand in from beginning to end too, but in the lands where they grow indigenous for a truly pure, quality oil. Being in those lands, they also give so much back to the communities that are growing the plants and trees. Our Co-impact sourcing is phenomenal along with our Healing Hands Foundation. Take some time and research some companies.
YL certifies their own oils. They also do their own testing . They will not let 3 rd party testing in.
Their kids blend contains Rue. Very toxic. According to dr. Pappas 4 days ago….if your child is one of the children harmed by the kids blend ..you may have just won the jackpot. That company is to big to be adding toxic ingredients,
Valor….look at the ingredient. It’s in a base of coconut oil. It’s diluted down.
I hate MLM companies period. They’re such a turn off and the products are ‘ as a rule’ extremely over priced.
I use Young Living Oils daily for myself and my family. The Seed to Seal promise let’s me know that the product is safe for my children and the fact that they are pure therapeutic grade oils makes me feel sure that I’ve made the best choice for my family. Each person gets to choose. Glad to see so many people using something God made to help us treat and heal ourselves 🙂
I don’t know how I’d live now without my doTERRA.
I grew up surrounded by eucalyptus trees and learned how important they are. I have used essential oils for many many years. It wasn’t until finding Young Living essential oils to regain my sense of smell after loosing this sense for 20 years. Look up oil-testimonials.com use my sponsor # 1223830 If you would like to read on how beneficial they are. I only trust Young Livings oils to take internally, they are just pure plain and simple. God Bless
Why people hate on MLM companies is so useless.
Instead of marketing on t.v and adds they pay commision. I have never seen so much hatred with Mary Kay or Avon. My best advice is to not believe every rep and do your own research on the benefits of oils. Cross reference, look for the pros and cons on each oil or recipes you read or see.
I love Young Living, I have friends who love doterra.
I have been using oils myself for years from spas and health food stores and never had the experience I do with Y. L or the Doterra ones.
If you have been a part of a MLM that offers a credit card to purchase inventory to have a supply at home, then I would be cautious. Otherwise just quit with the rumors and educate yourself, “therapeutic grade” oils are a “catch” but if your oils, expire, say do not ingest, or crystalize even if you store them correctly, you have a problem.
People are constantly complaining about essential oils not being approved by tbe F.D.A, yet look at what is in stock in the grocery stores, and research how many prescription drugs the F.D.A has approved that have ruined lives or been recalled.
The overall picture is that the medical field and benefits of oils should be worked with together. Don’t $#%&!@*ume that modern medicine isn’t necessary, but have knowledge that other remedies are still ok to use.
So if you grow your own plants & distill your own oils then you can be considered self sufficient? But if someone researches how to use essential oils and uses an oil they purchased makes them unprepared? I don’t get it. So Karen do you own a car? Did you make it yourself? And do you get your drinking water out of a well on your own property? And do you grow 100% of all the food you eat? Use electricity? Use a computer or cell phone? Buy shampoo and conditioner? I think your comment was rude because you used the term “ridiculous.” There is nothing wrong with buying essential oils that are made from someone else. Not everyone has the time or means to produce their own oils and we should be supporting each other with our love of oils and help to empower each other with knowledge and suggested uses.
Stress away on wrist and brain stem. Rutavala also works Awesome. My brother was in a very bad car accident had a bruised brain similar to shaken baby he was very depressed and Rutavala made it go away. He’s healed now but still uses those oils if he feels it coming in.
Stress away I use on wrist and brain stem, Peace & calming my teenager swears by and uses.
Doterra oils state on each bote whether it is a supplement. If so it can be taken internally
If you would like to know where to look and how to buy or get started , message me and I’ll send u info…thanks:)
