Ok, I'm so excited, I've got my essential oils (also known as "EO's")! I have one of my Young Living Friends sending me a YL Lavender, and also against all my friends, with EO experience, I have purchased some from the health food store!!!! The Health food store I went to is Whole Foods, and the brand of EO's I bought are Aura Cacia, which is cheaper than MLM company brand oils like DoTERRA and Young Living, and WAY cheaper if bought online like at Vitacost.com. I've already tried Aura Cacia and was floored when I immediately realized it actually worked. I was trying it because I really "just wanted to try it" but had held off since my YL friends and family was so against anything else and said YL was the best. I don't doubt them at all that YL is one of the best quality oils out there, but my family cannot go into debt for alternative medicine. I do recommended YL if you have the money, but if you don't, I've found that Aura Cacia actually works. The first oil I got was Eucalyptus to rub on my sprained neck with some Now brand almond oil. Within a minute I felt the difference. Later I made a one % dilution mix of it, and applied it to my neck several times a day as I massaged it into my neck. A few days after a hike, my legs were killing me. I put my Eucalyptus and almond oil blend on and it helped so much! Today, I've stopped by the store again (since we're down the hill again) and bought Lemon and Grapefruit essential oil for sadness and loneliness and uplifting (hubby will be going away on a trip in the next few weeks and its always hard for me). I wafted both in front of my nose in the car and I immediately felt better, even though I wasn't actually sad or anything. Scott had smelled it from beside me and said "wow, that's uplifting" and he wasn't even aware that that's what they were for! Anyway, I'm super super excited!!!
