Where would you recommend buying essential oil online? I want something where I know it has been stored properly. And not too crazy expensive!

The closest place I can get it locally is an hour drive away - each way.

Not sure about the storage issue but I've been ordering with others I work with from Frontier.

I looked at a website for a local distributer. $3.50 for the 10 mL I want. $6.50 for shipping. :rolleyes: NOT going to happen.

Try Wholesale Supplies Plus!!! They have incredibly fast shipping (FREE!), a huge variety of EOs and sizes, and what I have priced out to be very reasonable prices. Good luck! Let me know what you think if you Google them and find their site...

Be careful where ever you get them from to make sure they are good quality theraputic grade oils. Cheap oils are chemicaly processed and diluted with harmefull thinners. My wife and I were Young Living Essential Oils distributers until I broke my ankle and was layed up and couldn't afford to make the monthly order. We learned a tremendous amount of info in 3 years. Amazing product but kind of spendy. Good luck in your search but be careful.

How can you tell the difference? Frankly, they are all expensive IMO. :hu

They should say therapeutic grade right on the label. Scent or perfume grade oils are cheap but I wouldn't use them. Don't be fooled by labels that say 100% pure. What they don't tell you is that there is a good chance that they where chemically processed and some of the chemmicals are still in the EO. Don't get me wrong that doesn't stand for all companies There are some really good products out there but I would highly recomend doing some research before using them for any kind of therapy.

wzrd - you are about 30 miles southwest of me. Would you go to Mother Nature's Foods in Eau Claire to get some or order online? Anywhere else I don't know about?

I'm going to Eau Claire today, so I will probably just do that unless you have a reason why not. :)

Tortoise, Did you get some EO? sorry I didn't reply sooner I have been tied up with a summer school class since my last post. I think Mother Natures Foods sells a decent brand of oils. It has been a really long time since I have been in there so I don't know what they carry. Just out of curriosity what are you using them for. We use them for just about everything. Even for our pets. If you are about 30 miles from me where are you? Also I noticed your link for canine comand. ?I worked for the same engineering firm as Anne for about 9 months until I got layed off. Small world I guess. If you have any questions about EO let me know and I will help any way I can.
