Guest guest Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Marge, >I would welcome comments, additions, etc Most of your own writings are fine, but I have comments about the quotes from Kristen Leigh Bell. They are hogwash! Specifically, they give the reader the impression that most aromatherapy grade oils come from small family growers/distillers. That is wrong as most come from commercial farms around the world via large wholesale suppliers, who resupply smaller wholesale suppliers, who then sell to the small aromatherapy suppliers. Of course there are small suppliers but it is misleading to suggest that aromatherapy companies buy exclusively from them. It is all marketing bs.
