Comments on: The 3 Things You Need To Know About The Essential Oil Wars https://anchored-women.com/3-things-need-know-essential-oil-wars/ Simplifying Home + Faith Wed, 28 Dec 2016 22:14:30 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: JB https://anchored-women.com/3-things-need-know-essential-oil-wars/#comment-158586 Wed, 28 Dec 2016 22:14:30 +0000 https://anchored-women.com/?p=8106#comment-158586 I grew up in the area where the two biggest network marketing essential oil companies are headquartered, and I have friends and family who are distributors. I’ve had a taste of the “wars” in conversations. I always interpreted it as a desire of a distributor to protect his or her income potential, which actually makes a lot of sense to me. That doesn’t mean people should be mean, though.
I’ve since learned that there are a lot of essential oils companies that make great essential oils. Some of them are MLM and some aren’t. I’ve found great online shops, I know there are great oils sold through brick and mortar stores, and I’ve been told that the network marketing companies also make great oils. In the end, I think the person buying the oils has to make a decision about which culture they want to be a part of. Do they want no commitment—simply the convenience of a “buy and leave” experience? Or do they want a very personalized/intimate experience?

Kindnes goes a long way, there are so many benefits to essential oils and more than just one “good” company out there ?. Anyone should feel good about their decision if they’ve researched & chosen what works for themselves.

My husband and I are preparing for our second essential oils class on Friday. And although we are new consultants for doTERRA, we don’t know everything . . . We have to remember that when giving advice to others, too.

I am super new to researching essential oils and the hate has been extreme! I try to remember that it’s coming from a place of love. Some people genuinely believe that other brands may be dangerous/ineffective etc. Respect is key, though. 🙂

May I add… there are different perspectives held by professional aromatherapists and the associations they represent. Each have strong, historical reasons for their positions. If they disagree no wonder we do.
