The Frankincense has a shelf life of years warning bells! Pure oils should never go off. Frankincense found in the Egyptian tombs were still as pure as the day they were buried. Jan correct if the oil is kept properly. In the USA all items must have a shelf life. Due to the fact not everyone keeps their oil properly. Buried in a tomb would for sure meet the cool dark requirements.
Yes Young living controls the process but grows everything in the US. Not all things grow the same in different locations. Changing the compounds as plants adapt to new environments. Soils are different. I believe Young Living also just lost their Certified Organic due to their growing practices. Companies that source from outside the USA can not have an organic certification.
This is why doTerra crated their standard of Certified Therapeutic Grade and has a third party lab test their products.
To provide the best product possible. Seriously Girls, You can talk about exchange rates — who cares. As at Nov — Frankincense from DoTerra is hugely overpriced! Say no more!! Doterra is a company with integrity. Doterra is not just about money , they are about helping the farmers , cutting out the middle man and helping build schools and hospitals and water wells in these poor countries that produce the oils.
But I think that the consumer is the one who should make their own choice as to which brand they will choose. I think it is sad that this particular company has to be so manipulative in order to try and sell theirs. No MLM, just great reward system. Also expedited free shipping worldwide above 80 USD. Another company I frequently buy from and have grown to adore is Plant Therapy. I agree completely with you Stephanie. They are super fast in shipping and reasonable to plus they are of amazing quality.
I tried selling them, but to be honest no one could afford them so I had very few repeat customers. If DoTerra is great for some, more power to them…but not everyone is independently wealthy enough to afford them! I live in Canada and still order from France cheap high quality organic essential oils on Aroma-zone. Hello Vanessa, I live in France, and Aroma-Zone has very very low prices, and very bad quality… I bought once, but will not do it again.
It is question of quality. You put into words my on going struggle with YL. My hangup has been diffusers. My YL diffuser has been great. No issues after a few years of hard use. Try this one Emily. I have used it every single night going on a year now, with no issues. It also doubles as a night-light, but that can be turned off. I use Edens Gardens and love them. Thanks for writing. It got annoying and sort of seemed a little cult like.
I use Frankincense on my daughter who has epilepsy so I need good quality. Lindsay Sledge recently posted..
Just thought you wold like to know. Check out the following link about Frankincense. I know you want to to use the best out there for your beloved daughter so wanted to share this knowledge with you.
I have been using doTERRA products for almost 3 years now and have seen amazing results with myself as well as my friends and family. Axe, but he is amazing and is often on the Dr. Oz show and he also works with professional athletes. And, just as an aside, he used to have his own line of essential oils. If you do your research you will find that some of the cheaper brands will have harmful and dangerous ingredients in them, including carcinogens that are cancer causing ingredients.
You need to be sure to use the purest essential oils you can find because they are very concentrated. I am very particular what I put into my body.
Only purchase organic, gluten free and Non-GMO food products. Therefore, before using any essential oils I did many months of research. There products have magical results and I would never ingest any other brand of essential oils.
But, to each his own. Axe has to say about epilepsy and what kind of diet you may want to put your daughter on.
See following link. God Bless you and your daughter. Hello Linda. I loved what you shared here. I just truly love the products. I gave away so much oil and was giving out much of my own opinions so often that I decided to turn it into a business. I just launched my oil business this month and had my first essential oil class. I know he uses and often talks about essential oils and the great benefits it brings to your health, however I did not know he uses doTERRA now.
How enlightening!! Amy does he have high or low blood pressure? Feel free to contact me if you would like to talk. I have been helping a few others with this topic. Hi Linda what oils did your hubby use for his high blood pressure. I do use doTerra but not managed to get the blood pressure down, thanks Diane. Please take him to a medical professional who can prescribe him something that is actually proven to work in lowering BP. Your husband is going to end up having a medical emergency while you are over here playing around with oils.
I just came across this article as I am. I have used the clary calm as well for several months and have seen huge improvements in my mood.. It has also almost totally taken away my monthly headaches , heavy clots , and cysts.
I also have some autoimmune condition that had not been diagnosed. One symptom of my autoimmune condition seems to be inflammation and I have osteoarthritis in my lower spine. How did you use oils to improve your back symptoms? Thanks for your advice!
I know that my 15 year old has taken Vitex as have I on occasion for heavy periods. It has done wonders for us in regulating out cycles. It is an herb in encapsulated form.
It is at least something for you to look into if you desire. Essential oils, regardless of who is selling them, DO help many medical issues! The thing to look for is Organic.
If you decide to settle, then you may use Therapeutic grade. Many companies offer both, do extreme testing and are transparent. I have heard great things about Eden also. Clarissa, ClaryCalm is especially great for those young ladies just starting out that new pre-teen age in life! Their hormones are going crazy at that point.
The hormonal support that Clarycalm gives is unbelievable! I saw your article about osteoarthritis. Please be aware anything used for this. Meaning, this is also called Pagets disease and spasms are a symptom of arthritis. Anything used for spasms will calm the central nervous system. Look into it. Thank you for your post. That tells you the quality is not the level of Doterra or Young Living. Yes they cost more but as they say, you get what you pay for.
I have been using Doterra solely for almost 9 months: my benefits have been quite good. I asked to become more involved because I wanted to fill my retirement hours with the talking, researching and human contact after a quite traumatic year. I have completely stopped taking OTC analgesics and prescription Aleve and muscle relaxers. Combined with yoga, restorative yoga and reiki study I can say I have found that the oils relax me, help clear the baggage and relax me enough to release pain.
I was in the hospital a year ago with pancreatitis and in August with pneumonia. Breathe, On Guard, Deep Blue and many others have helped in many ways. Read the bottles, check the sourcing and do beware of China. Thank you. Thank you! Hi there, What do you use for the back pain? My husband suffers from very bad back pain…would like to know if maybe I can get something to help him.
Back pain? My husband was so surprised how quickly it took away his severe knee pain. Then I tried it being very skeptical and yes… it did work.
I use it for back pain and hip pain. The one great thing about Deep Blue people might know about is the fact the essential oils actually help with inflammation which will help not only with pain symptoms, but with healing time.
That is something we both noticed with the Deep Blue unlike over the counter muscle rub creams. I am seriously considering joining Doterra but I am also hesitant because of the price. I literally have items in my cart right now and am debating on whether or not I should subscribe.
I would be one of those that purchase for self use and not sell though, I only buy oils maybe two to three times a year. Hey Lisa, I can assist you if you have any more questions. I am currently with doTerra also.
It is really worth it especially if you have ailments. I use deep blue for stiffness and joint pain in my ankles and one of my wrist. You can join later if you choose, or if you sign up for it, you can withdraw from the rewards program. They build schools, roads, wells, and help the farmers build their business. I wonder why Dr. Looks like they are the only ones he sells…. Cole, Dr. Axe is not a part of DoTerra anymore. He was at one point. Therefore, there is confusion. Thanks for the great information!
Where did you find that Dr. I do know that he sells his own oils though. Matthew, Linda Beatty? On a side note. He was a Diamond for DoTerra. What to and not to say. Oils are great!
Or, the Chemical testing. Yes, I have tried other brands. None have compared to these two. Well, except for Dr Axe. He does follow the guidelines for resourcing the oils same as DoTerra and Young Living. Frankincense oil contains no boswellic acids, which is what kills cancer cells.
Anyone claiming the oil kills cancer is dishonest or ignorant. That is true, you need Frankincense extract, but it is interesting how my doTerra upline has told me that she ingests one drop per day of the Frankincense oil for the reason of killing cancer cells so that is why I did research.
There is more research out there about the bad effects of ingesting oils daily and I started having thought issues after putting grapefruit in my water bottle and drinking while I was at yoga. Only got a few neighbors to purchase some after offering them at wholesale prices.
At this point I am ready to jump ship. CIm so sorry about your daughter. I have been using their oils for about 3 years now and my family has not been to a dr.
For anything but a wellness visit. Their Frankincense is superior, they source their oils from the regions of the world where the concentration of qualities are at their highest.
It works. Some may feel the prices are too high, but I have the utmost confidence in the company due to their integrity, sourcing and how they give back to the communities they source from. Plus, the bottles last a long time….
I always get mine free in December when the company gives away a bottle with a point order. I agree with Karen that the oils last a long time, and have a long shelf life as well! I have tried multiple different blends on my children to try and calm them or help us sleep — nothing.
I have tried the cold and flu blends — nothing. What am I doing wrong? I am about to call it quits because I have dumped so much money into this and have had no results.
I end up just putting them into the diffuser because I like some of the smells. I think I am going to try some of these other companies…. Hey Amanda. If you are interested email me and we can set up a time to chat. This is not a sales call you are already using the oils I just want to help and that is what I do. That is my biggest issue too!!
There are oils not suitable for children. My oldest is 8 years old and my youngest is 3. They have never been on antibiotics. Make sure the WA you are dealing with understands and knows oils.
Can you help me with my oils as well. I have quit a few. I initially bought the physicians kit. Later i bought some oils to help my son who has kidney disease. I need help in knowing how to use them. I too have epilepsy. How can i use them for myself as well as for mood. What other oils would help and how. Hi Nicole, i am in the same boat as Amanda. I agree with some folks that mlm companies are just into the marketing and sales. Just dumped YoungLiving because the employee who took my order was incompetent and shipped my one bottle of oil to wrong address.
And the excessive pricing. Perhaps some finally legislator will intoduce a bill to end ALL mlm companies forever. Way too many people getting lied too and decieved.
And the scum pwners get filthy rich off the backs of broke poor people or complete idiots who have no education. Your comment piqued my curiosity. I assume there are particular issues you are trying to remedy.
One of the issues that I have with the MLM essential oil company I am with is that every distributor seems to think they are an expert and yet, most of them have never really studies oils or aromatherapy. And, the remaining folks get success with other oils. Hi Amanda I have found that the straight up oils are better than the blends.
Even my husband asks immediately for the eucalyptus when he first starts feelig a cold coming on. Also simply lavender works great for relaxing for sleep. I much prefer 1 oil to te blends maybe this would help your family as well? Amy recently posted.. Guacamole Nothing But Fresh Ingredients. Why do people feel pressure to buy — Are you not your own maker? No one can make you buy anything, even if it is a quality doterra product. No one MAKES you buy via the rewards programme or keep up the point value to receive the free product.
I studied many many brands of essential oils before I found doterra and actually could not find a more ethical company and more pure oil. After researching comments and studies by Dr Pappas — Essential Oil University — the guru and the amazing things doterra does for so many poor countries it was a no brainer for me. If you love it, then buy and replace it. And instead of buying every oil, ask for a few samples to try first before you buy the 15ml bottles.
One thing that upsets me is that you have to order every month! I just do not understand. I should not have to buy every month, but with getting product wholesale cost, and not retail cost. One job is enough! Their monthly loyalty rewards program is optional and you can cancel free of charge any time. Sarah—but if you want to actually make money with Doterra, you have to place a PV order every month.
Who has that kind of money to burn monthly, in the off chance that someone will buy from you or join your team? Even the wholesale prices are expensive! Correct, you do not have to sell to get the wholesale price! I do not sell, I buy for myself and family with the wholesale price. Let me explain. I owned a full service spa, complete with an oxygen bar, which infuses water with essential oils to produce the oxygen that the customer enjoys.
This went on until I exhausted multiple brands. The water remained crystal clear throughout the day and between water changes. Those fillers can lead to allergic reactions. Through the course of business ownership, I had no interest in building an oil business as well, and I never ever felt pressure to sell.
More and more I see that it is all about selling and not sharing and helping people, which is what im all about. All anyone talks about if you go to a meeting is tank advancement. If the buying stops happening, which it will in an MLM, they come up. First it was all about making and sharing rollers, then it was about sharing the diffuser.
Now they are offering classes on selling. Essential oils have been used in Europe for generations. The whole mlm process has left a really bad taste in my mouth. There truly is a huge difference in the oils for sale to the public. It takes some digging and research to discover.
As an R. I was not willing to use anything other than the highest of quality on my family. No one introduced me to oils. I became curious on my own and did not know any company and did my own extensive research. My convincing discovery is there truly is only 1 company who has done the research, has the relationships with the pioneers in the research of oils, did not begin for profit and still does not exist for profit.
They understand that only the plants and trees drown outside the environ of toxins and chemicals, harvested at the right moment, distilled at just the right temp and for the right length of time will have therapeutic compounds for producing health and balance in the body.
Most people do not understand that there are multiple lavenders, cloves, peppermint and on and on but they do not all have the same therapeutic value and companies use less than quality plants to produce their oils. They use 3rd party labs, distilleries and buyers.
I only use Young Living and it involved lifestyle change and which reduced need to purchase over the counters items which we do not need because our experiencing good health.
I also only use Young Living essential oils and have seen dramatic health benefits. YL has been around for many many years and has done extensive research over the years to produce products including essential oils that are pure and unadulterated and are free from any harmful chemicals. Yes, but if you read the court documents on the YL and doTERRA, or do any internet search on YL independent party testing, you will see that they are adulterated, and that YL claims of producing everything themselves simply, does not match up to the amount of fields they have.
This is not some cult hype. This is just fact and can be read in the court transcripts. Plus growing lavender in UT is not the ideal climate for lavender, and the product is nothing like lavender grown in France or Bulgaria. But anyway, what I do agree with in the comments, what people have said is that YL is very excellent at convincing its users they are the one true oil. My suggestion would be to start with the Doterra vitamins and put the oils aside for awhile; sometimes the health issues are so innumerable, you just need need to get the body back to ground zero before the oils will have great effect.
So I am done with them! Here is the link for the Frankincense search. I have heard of some awful experiences with uplines and am thankful my team is Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
However, for those of us that use our oils and need to replace them, there are perks to ordering just one item a month with all shipping reimbursed that can be used towards FREE product orders as well as perks for ordering more than one item a month.
I have personally enrolled people in the past 3. I also teach others to treat others the same way. One more thing I would like to share just as a testimony is related to my Dad whose brain is broken. He is 89 years old and though the disease he has is still progressing in many other ways, after 3. Hi Amt the LLV would be a great start, because nutritious is the foundation of health.
I have been using doterra for 1 year, but have researched essential oils for over They are hands down the best quality and company I have found. I wanted to share this presentation by Dr. Pappas with you. I too, was using other brands until learning there needed to be even deeper testing of the oils , because the four natural ingredients that are being added to oils that are being sold as pure, cannot be detected with normal testing.
I invite you to go to Dr. It is really up to us to do our research, and one of the most important aspect of the oils is to be a medical grade to be assured of consistent results, which especially is important with serious conditions like seizures. I personally have written Dr.
Pappas and ask about the pureness of the off brand I was using. He will answer your questions. Highly recommend them. Did EG help with your daughters seizures? My daughter is epileptic and has sleeping issues would love some insight on what is good to buy! Try Acupuncture, essential oils have a place, but its not deep acting treatment, you can get herbal medicine and dry needling which may be more efffective.
Its a tricky condition, and the longer its gone on, the longer it can take to treat. The treatment would help but may not cure. Just know that before hand, and investigate yourself. I am looking for classes on the chinese herbal use of oils. Love it though. My son has epilepsy and looking into Doterra, however finding a rep has proved difficult. If there is anyone active please email me. I even emailed the company and got no response.
I just want some basic info on how they work, what works best for different ailments,etc. Hi Ashley, I hope someone has either reached out to you or you have found someone to consult with regarding this question. Sorry you are having a bad experience. Doterras Frankincense is the best…. Yes I am a Doterra user and I am doing the business because of all my successes using. But you can have a wholesale account with them without having to sell, or worry about any of the other multilevel perks.
And no one should be pushing you to do anything. My friend and I will hold classes for anyone who wants to simply learn more about how to use their oils. Other people chose to have classes in their homes just so they can let their friends and family learn about the oils….
I would say to find a better rep for yourself that will help you rather than push you…. Really sorry and angry to hear of this method of pushiness you are experiencing. Yes, the price of shipping is horrible I live in New Zealand but when I can afford to buy some of their oils recovering from my last DoTerra purchase I will do so as the prices are so much better and the quality looks amazing. I love DoTerra oils but the cost of them even as an account holder is pretty high!
It sounded like the owner really knew what he was talking about! I also love Mountain Rose Herbs! So, I use Rose Mountain Herbs. Here here! MLM companies always give me the willies.
I recently got some oils from Plant Therapy and like them. They sound similar to how you describe Edens Gardens. This… is not true at all. Among the thing already mentioned, they have poor customer service, the owner was unaware of the issues at hand and when brought to her attention was a bit indifferent, just to name a couple of other reasons. I decided to stop buying from them. Ingesting DoTerra oils is completely safe since they have taken the time to get the nutrition information printed on their bottles.
They had to jump though a lot of hoops and red tape to be able to get this. Be careful. My rep showed us how to look at the label to determine if it was considered safe for ingestion. But they are very potent and great care should be used to consider the benefits above the risks, should you turn out to be the rare person who has a bad reaction to ingestion of a particular EO.
They sell oils, herbs, spices, teas, and a bunch of other things at reasonable prices that are high quality and mostly certified organic. My family sells with doterra and I was signed up for awhile but it was all so confusing that I quit. I am glad to have another option. Kelly recently posted.. Cora turns ten. As most of us know essential oils are not all equal. The difference between the purity of the more expensive oils and the cheaper ones is the purity.
As an example of pure Sandalwood essential oil — It takes years before roots are ready to be harvested from a Sandalwood tree. That is why pure Sandalwood essential oil is so costly.
And the same goes for many other essential oils. As another example Would you believe that it takes just shy of a metric ton 2, lbs of jasmine petals to produce a single pound of jasmine absolute? That is the weight of a typical car! Oh and also, the flowers must be picked at the exact right time of the season, early in the morning when their fragrance is the strongest. Why would anyone pay this much for jasmine absolute.
Simple-because it smells amazing and has amazing properties. It has been used in perfumes for centuries and even worn by famous figures such as Louis XVI and Cleopatra. It take many lbs of petals to get a small amount of pure oil. And, of course, they are more expensive. Many companies label their products as pure therapeutic and they are not. The may contain synthetic ingredients and have no therapeutic value at all. I saw a video with Dr. Pappas who is world renoun for his expertise in essential oils.
He is the found of the Essential Oil University where they test essential oils from all over the world. He knows where the best growers are. If a company does not provide information about the plants they use, where the plants come from, how the oils are made, or what testing processes they use, it could mean that they are skipping important steps in the essential oil production process.
They might, for example, be using synthetic fillers to cut costs. Unfortunately, while buying cheap essential oils might seem like a good idea at first, it can be potentially harmful for you and your family. Essential oil companies sometimes cut corners and sacrifice the safety of consumers.
As mentioned, the best essential oils are those that are pure, without contamination or adulteration. Pure essential oils provide a safe and natural option for your family, without the risks that come from adulterated oils. Pure essential oils are the best option because they will be high quality and safe, giving you peace of mind when it comes to using essential oils in your home.
Remember, the best essential oils are:. We know that pure essential oils are the best essential oils, but how can you tell if an essential oil is pure?
