Essential Oils - So Many Kinds, Where Do I Start?

With so many companies manufacturing essential oils now, where do I start in determining what essential oil is the best?"Yes it is true, in the last few years a number of new companies have jumped on the bandwagon of this ever-growing industry. It does make it very hard for people to know where to go. And yes, there are definitely some lower quality essential oils out there. However, to actually say that there is one brand out there that exceeds another may be a little far-reaching. I have yet to come across one brand that is best for all.

What do I mean by this you ask? Well, definitely by saying such a statement, I am up for ridicule by many distributors and manufacturers all competing in this cut-throat market. But as a professional that uses a wide variety of brands of essential oils in my practice, I want to offer a new concept of thinking. What is the best essential oil for you?

Yes, purity and strength are some of the best qualities to be looking at when you don't have the knowledge. Good rounded research is the requirement to find such information. But unfortunately much of this research is provided by those wanting to sell you something and not enough is provided by experts in the area.

Going to a source that does not sell oils but is an expert in the use of oils, like an aroma therapist or practitioner, usually is a better source of information. Unfortunately there are many myths out there around the topic of essential oils. The true source to where these myths come from are really unknown and probably come from well-meaning anxious distributors hoping to recruit you. Therefore, it is suggested that one finds professional sound knowledge when determining what your needs are from this method.

This new concept that I want to introduce is actually not that new in the natural health world. However, in modern medicine, this concept of focus has been lost a long ago. A natural approach always puts the individual first and is not based solely on statistical information as modern medicine is. Where your needs are may not be where you fit into statistical data.

Consider this, we are all individuals with our own needs. Wouldn't it be a novel idea if we all considered what our body needs are as an individual? With this idea, maybe there really isn't a best on the market. Maybe it is what is best for your body or your own energy system.With this modal, you may not even stick to one specific brand. Your body may even request different essential oils from different brands.

There are many practices out there on how to determine this. Muscle testing is one way to determine such a need. By contacting a natural health professional near you, they can help you determine what is right for your body's needs.
