RE: Trust No One: Essential Oils are NOT Always the Antidote.
Great post! I recently took a class by the owner of Savitur Botanicals who we get our oils from at the Apothecary. She goes around the world and ensures heirloom soil and seed and only works with farmers who have Organic farming in clean soil. She does her own gas chromatography tests and requested some from Doterra and they refused to give her any. She also explained how different strains of the herb, for example frankincense has 2 main strains and they do completely different things, and doterra just mixes all the strains together. It is a huge concern to ingest oils and she explained how to do it properly and very cautiously. For instance you can rub one drop of lavender around the edge of your cup so it isn't a full drop of oil just sitting in the water, when you rub it on the edge you are only getting flavor and some of the oil. Either way I agree it's super scary and people just believe these sellers, and when people are selling to make money and not out of a true desire to help things can get scary. Thanks for bringing this important topic to light 💜
They mix the strains?? See I always just had a bad feeling about them and trusted that, but what you say just confirms it. How good you got to take a class! There ARE a lot of good, ethical small companies I would rather trust. Thanks for commenting!

Yes!!! They do mix them and it's super scary what happens when you pull parts of a plant away from the other parts. We all got ravaged by a tummy bug last week. Using my essential oil cleaner I make to clean everything lol!! I love our oils from Savitur. Thanks for the great post 💜
