Everyone is talking about essential oils these days.
People are claiming all kinds of things about them, that they…
– help you lose weight
– heal diseases
– remove harmful bacteria from your home
– can eliminate mold
and on and on.
I was a complete skeptic about whether essential oils really worked or not, but I ended up trying some and realized that they really work.
I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised–I mean, people used natural substances for years to treat many ailments.
So why wouldn't they still work today?
Anyhow, I signed up with a direct sales essential oils company and started using the oils for various things–mostly with success.
But I kept wondering…..
Was I really buying the best essential oils?
Were the oils I had really pure?
I was spending a bunch of money on them–did I HAVE to spend that much?
What about all the other companies out there that said their essential oils were also pure and “therapeutic grade”?
I didn't what to think.
I started reading a lot and asking a bunch of questions–to the point that my head spun. But I learned a lot.
I'm not an expert for sure, but I do know a lot more than I knew when I started on this journey, and I love sharing what I learn.
Just like you–I don't like throwing money away when I can get something cheaper that's just as good–or better.
I want to know the truth.

Hi, For those of us residing in Canada, are you familiar with the chain of SAJE stores ( now also in California), based in British Columbia ? Tons of stores across Canada.
Another well- established Canadian E.O. company is Karooch , or Alypsis, based in Peterborough, Ontario.
Any feed back available on these two companies ?
Thanks so much !
Michelle Bruneau says
I am from Manitoba, Canada and am very curious about how the Canadian essential oils stack up against these large USA companies. I want to get more into oils and am not sure where to buy in Canada and if there is a company I can rep for. I want to educate people in the use of oils instead of using big pharma. Any help would be amazing. Thanks in advance.

Tish says
I am new to Young Living. A friend is a distributer and during a recent weekend visit she introduced me to the world of EOs. I am very interested in becoming more knowledgeable in the oils and have since done some of my own research. I am retired and have limited income so of course of I was looking for a less expensive brand. However, after checking out several companies and doing a lot of reading, at this time I believe I will stick with YL regardless of the price. Your thoughts? Sheila (I also go by Tish )
Adrienne says
Hi Tish. I left Young Living for a number of reasons. https://wholenewmom.com/health-concerns/natural-remedies/the-great-essential-oils-showdown-in-search-of-the-best-essential-oils/
Did you see this? http://www.sltrib.com/news/2017/09/19/utah-based-young-living-essential-oils-pays-760000-for-illegal-oil-imports/ This seems very odd to me since they say that they have control over the oils from Seed to Seal. Not sure what to think.

Have you looked into ameo oils? Made be the company Zija
Adrienne says
Yes, I did. I am very puzzled by their statements about permeability and have talked w/ other experts in the field who say that it doesn’t make sense.
Susan Poch says
I love my EO! I have been using DT (never YL) only because I was bamboozled into getting “signed up” and that pyramid or multi level selling is a huge turn off. The cost was so outrageous that forced me to look else where (I knew DT was quality) I wasn’t willing to compromise on quality! I ingest some oils (lemon), clove. Mostly difuse and topical and throughout my cleaning, insects etc. Needless to say, when I came across other brands that offered the same quality or close to for a lot more bang for my buck. SIGN ME UP says the single gal just trying to live a simple clean life. DT pricing themselves out of the market. I believe in EO therapy. I want all people to look to all natural healings vs ingesting synthetic drugs. Some people aren’t willing to look at alternative methods when the cost is extremely high. It should be just the opposite! Needless to say, TFS your info. Will try this Rocky Mountain. PS–DT or YL users, tell your higher up sellers or people word out, they’re over priced due to multilevel marketing. No thank you to that!
Adrienne says
You are so welcome. Yes, we try to avoid drugs as much as possible too. I will say that I think there are some valid MLMs out there when they are run ethically and have a stellar product, but I wasn’t happy with the big 2 in the Essential Oil industry. Thanks again!
Cheryl says
Melaleuca vs doTerra? what’s your feeling on these two companies?
I’m with Melaleuca and so far VERY pleased with their EOs.
Adrienne says
Hi there. I don’t like how Melaleuca has artificial fragrance and color in their products as they aren’t needed. I haven’t looked at their EOs as a result. This post should help: https://wholenewmom.com/health-concerns/pure-essential-oils-testing/

Janet MacFarlane says
I just can across Botanic Planet Canada. Have you heard of them or know anything about them?
Adrienne says
I haven’t heard of them. This post might be of help: https://wholenewmom.com/health-concerns/pure-essential-oils-testing/
Tracy Koch says
Can’t wait to get reliable info on essential oils.
Adrienne says
Let me know if you have questions. Welcome!
Terri Larabee says
Thank you for your time and effort in sharing your vast knowledge herabout the oils! I have searched until my beck is screaming for my YL Peppermint oil and my eyes are telling me to go to sleep after only a few hours of being awake (reading always makes me sleepy).
I am very new to EO others than the Peppermint oil my sister shared with me, but have come across Simply Earth that is one that I may be able to afford, however like you I am leery of all the companies out there. Do you have any information on the quality of their oils?
Thank you so much again for sharing with those of us that have no knowledge what so ever!!
Terri
Adrienne says
