What inspired me to write about this? The other day, while we were out shopping. There was a stall selling 100% Pure Essential Oils from Australia. So I asked the salesperson more about how to use these oils. His oils range from $18 to $25 with a limited range of oils (Young Living Singapore has 33 Oil Singles and 40 Oil Blends. There are still some oils not sold in SG but only in US)

The sales person was very friendly and I believed was the owner of the business. He explained that the oils can be applied directly on the skin neat if it is for small area, like acne or just under the nose. He even demo for us on his face. But if we want to apply it over the body, then will require a carrier oil. Hmm.. so very similar to Young Living right? Then I asked if it can be ingested? And his answer was………NO! BINGO! Just as I have expected. ” We do not know what was used on the plants, like the pesticides etc, so it is best not to use internally”, he explained. Then I asked, in that case we should use Organic Essential Oils instead right? He said, if you want those that can be ingested, their prices would be 2-3 times more expensive.

So Ladies and Gentleman, please do keep the price factor in mind. What you pay is what you get. Since you do not know what pesticides has gone into the oil, then why would you want to even put them on your skin? What ever you apply on your skin goes into your body too right? First, you need to know that approximately 98 percent of all essential oils in the entire world are adulterated, contain harmful chemicals, and should never be ingested.  Although, Young Living oils are not certified organic, they do not use synthetic materials in their products or in their farms. Once at the workshop, the trainer told us that they even spread Thieves over their plants to protect them from pest. Amazing isn’t it?

 

Now, let’s take a look at some of the label of essential oils.

This is the one that I was talking about above. It is a 100% Pure Essential Oil. I have smudge out the coy name and brand.

Notice that it says for external use only and do not swallow.

Here’s another one my hubby bought from iherb, also a 100% Pure Essential Oil. He told me that they are not comfortable and do not want to be liable for people who ingest, so they do not put it on the label. Hmmm… then I guess Young Living is very sure that they are truly safe cos they do suggest people to ingest.

The words are so squeezed together, I can hardly make out what it says.

It says Diffuse Properly, May Irritate Skin, Not for Internal Use

And this one is from Young Living. The bottle came from the Everyday Oils, so it is a US version. The Singapore version would not have supplement facts as they do not recognize it as a food product in Singapore.

Bottle says 100% Pure Therapeutic Essential Oil Supplement. Peel open the label and you will see the Supplement Facts inside.

So are you convinced now? Try out Young Living Essential Oil and see if it can change your life.
