RE: @NaturaMedicine’s Archive Amnesty - Using Essential Oils to Assist Mothers During and After Labor
Love the use of essential oils - totally - a wonderful contribution to health and an easier delivery. Young Living? Not a fan and many of their claims of superiority really don't stand up to scientific analysis.
Absolutely! They have been life changing for my family! I wouldn’t walk in my birthing room without them!
Yes we love Young Living. I’m not sure how deep of a study you have done on them but we tried out other brands before sticking with them. What we found based on use, experimenting, comparing, research...no other oils matched their value or potency. We were skeptical at first but will never use any other oils except for theirs. These are what works best for our family and this is our personal preference.
Happy for you. Yes, after 12 years of running a natural products biz and in the process of distilling oils here in Thailand, you could say I've studied it in depth. Young Living does a superb marketing job. Their oils ARE good. But that's it. So are many, many others at a fraction of the price. If you're happy with them, great. And whatever works for you to build natural health is what matters most.
To be honest if we had the means and resources to distill our own oils we would too. I think that’s a great opportunity to be able to do that. I believe there are other good oils out there. During the time we were looking (about 9 years ago) we just didn’t find any others we wanted to try. It wouldn’t hurt to look again to have other options especially if YL oils ever become unavailable. Their prices definitely are steep and not affordable to many. We mostly keep our staples on hand and try out new products from time to time.
Thanks for your feedback and sharing your knowledge on what you have found.
