Benefits of Aromatherapy Essential Oil on Your Mind and Body!

Aromatherapy is an ancient holistic healing, relaxing and energizing process for your body and mind with the use of fragrance. It is regarded as the complementary medical tool in the United States. This is mainly based on aromatherapy essential oil, which is extracted from plant and their parts. These can be extracted from plant leaves, roots, flowers, resin, nuts and bark.

Aromatherapy essential oils are highly concentrated and therefore cannot be used in a pure form. They can be used in a diluted and blended form with other oils to produce the requisite concentration.

Young Living vs doTerra for Aromatherapy/essential oils?

Has anyone had experience with either company? As an OB RN, I wouldn’t be going into it for a job or to make money; I just really like the benefits of essential oils and it would be for personal/family use.

I’ve never tried either one, but as a user of essential oils for over ten years (and certified in aromatherapy), I would stay far away from Young Living essential oils. Young is a businessman and a con-man, but not an expert in essential oils. There is much information about his past online, you just need to do a google search. Personally, I wouldn’t trust anything with his name on it. The “quality” of his essential oils seems to be nothing but hype. I’ve yet to hear a YL follower speak anything but nonsense when it comes to essential oil quality, use and safety. I can’t outright say YL oils are bad, but you couldn’t pay me to use them, just based on this man’s past.

Although I’ve never tried doTerra, out of the two, I’d try that one.
