Thank you all, for the info and company names! I have a bit more to go on and will do further research! Can anyone mention any favorite oils, and what benefit you receive from using them? Thanks!

Oh wow, funny I just put in our order with Young's Living...My daughter's family uses them and I love them also..My Husband uses the peppermint on his restless legs, and it is really helping. They have tons of helpful info on their sight also.. We use their Thieves Oil on our toothbrush, and they also have a whole dental line in Thieves Oil..Be careful with essential oils as some you need to mix with a carrier oil so it is easier on the skin..

Shea Terra Organics, mentioned frequently on the beauty board, is another site to consider. They give lots of info about the oils they sell, and usually have a coupon code every month they send to previous customers. I think it's usually 30% off. Garden of Wisdom does have glass bottles with droppers, but you have to order them separately. I transferred the oils from the plastic bottles to the glass dropper bottles from a recent order. I've ordered from Camden Grey too. There is also another site, I think called Mountain Rose Herbs. I'll check and edit my post if that's incorrect.

I used to buy a lot of my essential oils from New Directions Aromatics but kind of swapped over to Camden-Grey with some hefty price increases from NDA. I started a few years back buying a lot of books on the subject.

ITA, Camden-Grey has good quality oils.

I was really into using EO when I worked and was really stressed, even took a course on how to use them effectively. I still use tea tree oil for skin eruptions and I love lavender oil for relaxation. EO's can be dangerous if not used properly, can cause burns and of course you might be allergic to some oils. There is plenty of info on line and as long as you buy the pure essential oil the product should be to your liking, I used Aura Cacia.

I agree about being allergic.... I was using the "Cedar Wood" & Lavender. They both seemed to leave me slightly conjested after using. However, the Peppermint stopped my horrible coughing awhile back when I was sick. It stopped instantly, so try a sample of possible.

One of the very best books on EOs is ""The Complete Book of Essentials Oils and Aromatherapy"" by Valerie Ann Warwood.

Another source: Forces of Nature. (Their preps are very serious about serious healing.)

I always have these on hand: arnica for bruising and for muscle soreness, rosemary e.o. for scalp stimulation (especially after a bad haircut), peppermint cream for muscle tiredness.

If I had any other problem, I wouldn't hesitate to use others (that I know about.) In fact, I would turn to them first.

I don't think that they sell essential oils. The oils they carry are carrier oils.

SuzyQ3: Oh, okay. That's right there is a difference. Thanks for pointing that out.
