Best Therapeutic Grade Oil source?

August 23, 2003

I'm usually a lurker here, but I feel I must say something about this.

If this company is Young Living Oils, I would recommend to anyone to run as fast

as possible in the other direction.

Their claims are unfounded and often quite dangerous. There really is nothing

that is considered " therapeutic grade "

of essential oils. It's just a marketing ploy of Gary Young and his company.

Oils are either pure distilled oils or

they are synthetic.

While he is good at pyramid marketing schemes, Young's knowledge of aromatherapy

leaves much to be desired, in spite

of the things he tells his " followers " . He doesn't have the medical degrees that

he claims, nor any education in the

aromatherapy.

There is a group online that has some of the best minds in aromatherapy that can

further answer your questions on

this. You can e-mail me offline if you would like more information on how to

reach them.

There ARE many great and reputable merchants who sell wonderful essential oils,

however, Young Living Oils is not one

of them.

Doc, is it okay to post on the list about aromatherapy lists that I have

found to be very helpful?

You wouldn't believe some of the things I've learned about the shady

dealings of Young Life Oils... well, maybe you would...

Dear Cindi,

Per our list's policies, no other list may be promoted on HR for whatever reason.

By all means, if you have an article that pertains to the discussion, go ahead and post the article as long as it is OK with the copyright owner to do so.

Love,

Doc
