Where Do I Go to Get Started in Essential Oils?


Whenever I make a purchase, I look long and hard for quality, value and price. I read everything I could find on the four companies below and hope this will make your purchase easier.

I am not in a position to do a review of any of these companies but I do have an educated opinion that might help you get started in the right direction. 

First, the 2 most popular essential oil companies currently are DoTerra and Young Living. They offer distributorships to those of the entrepreneurial ilk or have distributors where you can buy their products. They offer classes and have a good support network to help people new to essential oils get started. The oils are top quality, but they are at the top when it comes to prices. The prices are better if you are a distributor and there may be a chance to make some extra money for that real go-getter salesperson.



Another company to look at is Native American Nutritionals. Native American and Rocky Mountain Oils have joined forces and are working together now. I believe that their quality is as high as any other company out there and their prices are a little better. 



I ordered my first oils from Native American (NAN). I bought the basic one kit and have been using all of the single oils and blends. The Basic One kit contains Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Eucalyptus and Tea Tree in single oils and the blends are Flu Time, Arthritis Plus, Tranquility, Aligning and Skin Care.


For information on the use of EOs, they refer you to the e-zine Essential Health, which has a lot of articles to get you started and thinking of different ways to use your new oils.


Now, here's the kicker. Just last week I was trying to find a source of EOs that was high quality AND reasonably priced and ran across Plant Therapy. I use the internet to research just about everything I buy and this was no different.

This is a great source of information - https://www.facebook.com/groups/717267978298069/  It is a great place to learn how to safely use essential oils.

 I liked Plant Therapy’s Q & A series on their blog, for getting started with the basics.  You can read Part 1, Part 2. and Part 3.   Be sure to check out their blog, too.  It’s loaded with recipes and DIY tips that use essential oils.

Even though I haven't had a chance to use or review any of their oils I think I will make my next purchase from them, because they have been tested the same as the other companies and the quality seems to be the same if not higher. They have a line of organic oils also. Through all of the checking and research I did I couldn't find anything negative about them. Maybe I will get a chance to review their oils in the near future.

Now the price. The EOs available from Plant Therapy are almost all half the price of the other companies! That is a huge savings. They have blends (synergies) that are comparable to the other companies and a good selection of single oils.

I hope this helps you in making your decision of where to purchase your Essential Oils. They will make a huge difference in your families life, from healthcare to cleaning you home and it is the only way I have found to guarantee that the products I use are safe.
