I like the Young Living knowledge base - the company has operated for 20 years, and their "Seed to Seal" promise. The few other companies that I thought might have close to similar standards also have similar prices, so I'm happy to stick with YL. I have a friend who is a blogger and experimented with various brands. http://www.abeautifulruckus.com/2014/06/essential-oils-which-essential-oil-company-is-best.html<br /><br />Do you have a friend who is a distributor? <br /><br />I believe you're right about heat diffusion and prefer my cold diffuser now. But at that point I didn't have one and I was using cheapo oils anyway so I didn't worry as much about them getting wasted. Now I would probably have the cold diffuser running in the same room with the crockpot.PhoebeWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767213700124664821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747616944933260318.post-1366650587604721992014-09-30T03:59:39.377-07:002014-09-30T03:59:39.377-07:00I'm curious which brand oils you're using....I'm curious which brand oils you're using. I'm testing a few out, and trying to find budget friendly ones that work well. I just ordered a few brand I'm excited for. A few things I remember for next time :) --I'm just getting over a cold, and I used lemon essential oil in my herb tea, along with fresh mint and Thieves oil blend (Young Living....expensive, but they are nice). I also used Melaleuca (Tea Tree) essential oil on my chest, feet, and sinuses, and wow....it's an expectorant (among other things) and it has helped! I highly recommend getting some Lemon and Melaleuca essential oil.<br /><br />Finally, have you looked into what heat diffusing does to the healing properties of essential oil? I've read a lot that using a heat diffusion method degrades the essential oils. I have a cold air diffuser for that reason (not the same as a humidifier). Just curious if you had looked into that. I'm no expert by any means! :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09265682603349307594noreply@blogger.com
