Oh wow, now Im really going to roll my eyes when I hear them talk about it all day. They both claim to be so holistic. Now after reading these replies, I do remember reading pure essential oils shouldnt be put directly on the skin and many of YL eo's are applied that way. In fact, one wanted me to try a pain reliever eo for my bad wrist. Was a little hesitant, but tried it and did relieve a lot of my pain. Unfortunately it was only topical relief. A client of mine also spoke of their oils being ingested. Looks like I have a lot of reading to do. Thanks for the info!
