I have a few questions about EOs and aromatherapy. Is it OK for a pregnant therapist to use EOs on a client? Some EOs are contraindicsated for pregnant clients but what if the therapsit is pregnant? Also I was told that lavender oil is contrindicated for anyone who has been diagnosed with a seizure disorder. Has anyonr ever heard about that? Thanks for the info, this group is very informative.

I use Mountain Rose Herbs essential oils in my practice. They have only organic or wildcrafted products. I've used them for years ,evolving in my making of organic products to use on my clients long before it was popular.

Essential oils open up such a wonderful world of enhancement. It is amazing how powerful a few drops are.

Difussing 'Theives and also using Breathe Easy which is a new roll on blend will also help to cut the damage of the breathing the oil fumes.

Darcy you bring up a good idea. I never would have thought to use EOs to combat the oil fumes down in the Gulf. The NEWS reports how toxic it is when absorbed through the skin, but they don't talk about inhaling the fumes. It's probably as bad as all the dust that the 9/11 rescuers and most of NYC had to breathe in. Are there any other single note EOs or blends other than Eucalyptus Blue that could be of help? Anyone?

I have and only use www.youngliving.com Eucalyptus Blue will cut the oilfumes in the Gulf of Mexico and keep the folks down there from getting sick. I am not willing to try any others. Love the oils.

Hi again. I would like to add on to my comment from May 29th...

While I do like YLEOs, I am not "married" to the brand. I use EOs for lots of applications. And often they are from different companies. I have EOs from NOW & Aura Cacia that I use around the house & in the laundry. These diluted/cut (my opinion) EOs are useful in this manner. I use YLEOs and Nature's Sunshine EOs for bodywork Tx's...whether it be inhalation or applied to skin. I talk alot about YLEOs simply because of the amazing things I have witnessed when using these products. Please do not read my posts as a gimmick or as a commercial for any one company. There are as many EO companies out there that put out quality products as do ones producing inferior or lower quality products. I apologize for any confusion I may have caused in my past posts.

I have only come across YLEOs & NS EOs as quality products so far. I am often confused when I look in the massage supply catalogs. It seems like everyone and their dog has created their own EO product line. I would like to learn from everyone on the forum about the EOs they have come across over their careers...what EO's did you start with? Why did you quit using them? What EOs are you using now? What other EOs are you researching or thinking about using? I will happily post my experiences with EOs, both good and bad. And my reasons why I still use diluted EOs. I will post these as time allows.

I am curious to learn more about other EOs like the Doterra line. Are the blends different? Are the single note EOs organically farmed or are Fair Trade? What about the science and research? I would love to find more quality EOs to use, regardless of company branding.

Thanks for letting me post this long comment. And again, I apologize if I have been misleading any of you to thinking I prefer one EO company over another.

have compared YLEO to Doterra CPTG oils and find Doterra to be a more substantial and substantiated oil. Terrashield is the best bug spray I've ever experienced, even better than FrontLinr for repelling fleas. Even my cats are using Doterra. OnGuard is so much better than thieves and to help MRSA breakouts a patient client of mine uses a gelatin capsule filled with basil thyme and oregano to ease the breakouts. check them out and become a distributor free plus get $50.00 in essential oils if you sign up before Monday night at midnight.

Hi Pat!
When it comes to YL oils like PanAway or Thieves, I will sometimes use inhalation first, then resort to either in a warm bath or dispersed in oil rubbed onto the skin with hot towel compresses (like Raindrop Technique). If you are not a "heat" person, especially with the hot weather, I would think that you could do the same application, substituting cold instead. The EOs will still get into your bloodstream, and that with cold could be helpful in decreasing inflamation in the neck and shoulders. When it comes to First Aid, I grab whatever is at hand--ice, heat, essential oils, flower essences, etc. I have used Thieves in place of PanAway in hotel rooms. What does everyone else think?

I just recently found Young Living Essential oils and i use them on myself everyday. I also order thier massage oils blends and I love them.. These are the purest oils I have ever bought and used. Recommend them to anyone that uses oils in their practice.
