If you've been following this series you've been armed with the right questions to ask when checking out an essential oil company, as well as the warnings you should be seeing for ten popular essential oils. Some of you have been disappointed in the lack of transparency when it comes to essential oil safety precautions, and don't blame you! As a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist who doesn't sell essential oils, I'm going to address why it matters that a company provides proper safety info, and what to do about it. I'm also going to touch on GC/MS and third-party testing, and the myth that "you get what you pay for."  And at the end of the episode we'll talk about what the term "therapeutic grade" means - and why it was banned. https://www.leajacobson.com/BestEOBrand5 [https://www.leajacobson.com/BestEOBrand5] Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/240649/open_sms] This is Lea Jacobson  empowering you to use essential oils safely.

So far in this series on choosing an essential oil brand, I've armed you with some great questions to ask when you check out a company's website. This can help you determine whether or not they are providing the safety information you need to stay safe. In this episode, we're going to zero in on 10 essential oils that most companies keep in stock and see if they provide all the pertinent information for these potentially problematic essential oils. As a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist and Essential Oil Safety Expert who doesn't sell essential oils, I'm going to cover all the safety information you need to know for Anise, Bergamot, Cinnamon Bark and Leaf, Clove, Eucalyptus, Fennel, Lemon, Oregano, Peppermint, and Wintergreen essential oils. Without having this information, you could be putting yourself and your family at risk if you're currently using the essential oils I just mentioned - without taking certain precautions - or avoiding some completely. Plus, I'll talk about what to do if the company you've been purchasing from isn't being transparent about essential oil safety.

If you're wondering which essential oil brand to purchase from, you can check out the website of the brand that you are interested in, and go through a list of questions to see where they stand. Some of those  questions I've shared on previous episodes, and today you'll hear some more. As a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist who doesn't sell essential oils, I've come up with 9 questions you can use while scouting out a company's website to see if they are up to snuff when it comes to safety knowledge! And if you end up overwhelmed, you can check out the reviews I've posted inside the BRAND REVIEWS Portal on my website. If the company doesn't properly inform you of safety concerns, you could be purchasing essential oils not safe for your kids, essential oils that are are blood thinning, or -worse- potentially carcinogenic. ...at the end of this episode I'll share with you some of the results for a few of the brands I've reviewed inside the BRAND REVIEWS Portal...
