Ok, thanks for your honesty. I just want to be informed and if I've made a bad choice I want to know. I'm new to your site. Lydia Shatney referred to you in a GAPS Diet talk and it's great to see what others are doing to heal their bodies!

When I see a comment come in I do not see the context, just the comment and the post that it is linked to. Now I see what I said. I can’t back that up and I probably should not have posted it. It is simply hearsay from people who I have spoken with who have worked with both companies. It is true that they can sell it as pure and not label it, but as to if they do that or not I can’t say with certainty since I have not seen scientific proof one way or the other. In fact such proof would be extremely difficult to come by. I trust my source but I can’t expect others to trust it just because I said so. I will take that reference down because it is hearsay and I have an obligation to only share what I know to be true.

I can see the confusion. Sorry. You mentioned in a post earlier 8/30/12 that you do not recommend YL oils because they dilute their oils and sell them as pure. I was curious where you found that info. Thanks!

The best lavender in the world comes from France. It has the right climate for growing it. That is why I mentioned it. I have not said anything in my post about Young Living. I’m not sure what you are asking. Could you ask it again? I was guessing as to what you were asking me for proof of and apparently I guessed wrong.

And does YL lavender oil come from France? I thought they had their own lavender fields in Utah. I’m sorry I don’t see the connection.

Hi Nancy,
What is it that you want me to back up with proof? The idea that some oils are sold as pure but are in fact diluted? France exports much more lavender oil than it produces. Either it is magic or there is some dilution going on there.

Can you back up what you say with proof? Has there been a non biased party that has investigated this? I have used YL oils for years and have never heard this and have had great results with them. I have also in a pinch while out of town bought oils from health foods stores that smell so unpure. The peppermint I bought smelled like candy. It made me sick to my stomach to smell it. Always learning! Thank you!
