HOW TO GET STARTED WITH ESSENTIAL OILS | 12 Basic Oils | Becca Bristow 

Kyra Murray no. People praise them because they’re getting rich off of this.

Kyra Murray of course not, it's an MLM scheme

They are good for diffuser but I I don't know about skin applying but like I said diffuser definitely a good change from air freshener/scented candles ~ and I buy mine from Amazon cause it's bit cheaper and I'd say it works the same!

Read the bible!

Iris what does the Bible have to do science based literature? Lol

I love your brand diversity!

Yes! I go with a company that actually has a third-party lab test their products. Something like Eden’s Garden or Plant therapy. These are not MLM’s and not scams. They’re honest companies that sell good quality oils with all of their test results posted on their website. No in-house testing like Young living!

Make sure not to injest bc it is a scam/mlm.

@@emmamills1867 ?

I believe it is different diffuser to diffuser, company to company, on how to clean the diffuser. How to clean it should be found in the manual (and/or on the website). =)

Liz Cencula No,not at all! You don’t have to sell, you can buy the best oils at wholesale. Not all MLM are scams. Great company & oils.

Liz Cencula it’s MLM and while they do sell real products it is a scam in a sense because they want you to buy these expensive kits and sign up for a membership instead of just buying one oil to try...and make you think you need oils for emotional healing. Especially at a time like this where millions of people are unemployed she should not be pushing her mlm agenda

Wanderlust she isn’t pushing anything at all! That’s what I like about her so much! She never pushes anything she just shares what she gets and what she loves about the products and the company and then gives you the tools on how to sign up if you want to. No pressure at all!

Jessica Draper yes it is!

Jessica Draper money talks. Her and her husband quit their jobs because of this mlm scheme and bought a mansion. I highly doubt she genuinely cares about people getting into essential oils...she needs to sustain this lifestyle.

Katherine Ashley none

The title just says "essential oils." Young Living is a specific company which is unethical and disingenuous, and criticism in the comment section makes people aware of this.

ccap3211 actually if you look at genuine oils from other non mlm companies they are the same price. Quality comes at a price.

Makenzie Brummett the only other higher end brands I know are doterra and saje. Do you know of any others?

Try Revive! Some oils are still very expensive (rose and sandalwood for example) because they require a lot of work to distill. The lavender, peppermint, and other staples are very reasonably priced and quality is still high.

ccap3211 Eden’s Garden or Rocky Mountain Oils 🤙🏻

@@ccap3211 I have a video on the different brands in my collection =). Some of my favs are Plant Therapy, doTERRA, florihana, etc.

It is super frustrating. It’s hard to believe nothing is regulated. I was in the same boat, eventually I did get young living after doing research. I suggest going to Seedtoseal.com to look at their standards. I know they’re not important to everyone, but in my research over the last couple years, I was sold.

Go with a company that actually has a third-party lab test their products. Something like Eden’s Garden or Plant therapy. These are not MLM’s and not scams. They’re honest companies that sell good quality oils with all of their test results posted on their website. No in-house testing like Young living!

@@estherrodriguez2054 young living has third party testing :)

@@lindsayfoster4759 huh. Is this new? What lab? Do they test each batch by third party or just certain oils? Could not find that information on their website. I know third-party labs have found synthetic fragrances in their oils in the past.

There are definitely essential oils that could be helpful for stressful feelings and reducing cortisol (stress hormone). ♡

So glad there are a good portion of comments who are actually aware of Young Living's bad side.

Emma only thieves starter kit is out of stock. The other kits are still available

Look at plant therapy! A good honest company!

I fell for it and signed up under Becca and lost a lot of money attempting to do the business not so easy if you’re not an influencer and don’t understand the Mlm Structure this business model prays on people in vulnerable places in their lives shame on you, Becca. You work so hard to build up your following and people that trust you and then turn to this shady business practice

Isabella F i know there’s so many things I didn’t know about in the kitchen and bedroom and phones!!! Becca knows tons.

Who did you buy your oils from? You should be able to ask them for help. Was it from Becca?

Please look up MLMs. I’m not sure you would want to support this.

It’s a scam. MLMs like Young Living are horrible. You will lose money. Just spend less money.

Tia and the Beasley’s Becca has an Instagram page called cloveandarrowessentials! It’s her oily page. I’m also a young living rep so you can message me on Instagram too if you want! Oliviacaldwellxx. I’m on Becca’s team & would love to help you!

Anna Noronha she won’t lose money because you don’t have to put any money down to buy products or anything. She’s already a member because she bought the starter kit. That’s all you have to do.

isabel2589 they say the bottoms of your feet because your feet have bigger pores, that way it enters your body faster.

You can also look at reflexology points to understand the connection

Kelli Etheridge you can always look up what oils might be, but just start out slow put like a drop or two when diffusing and diffuse in an open area. If it bothers them then they will get up and leave and go to a room where you are not diffusing.

my dogs started licking their paws to the point that they turned red when I started diffusing oils. When I stopped, their paws are no longer discolored. I love oils but have stopped because of the effects on my dogs.

Lady Kay yes exactly! I’ve used Now essential oils for years and I love them. If I hear “therapeutic grade” one more time... there’s no such thing.

Word! Just say no to MLMs

Rikke I don’t know why more people don’t share this point of view.....

Alternative therapies are not there to REPLACE medicine, they are there as a supplement to work alongside conventional medicine. I am a midwife in the UK and our university degree and training is always focused on evidence based information. But when it comes to pain relief, insomnia, antibacterial properties and mental well-being you’d be surprised at how much evidence there actually is out there about essential oils. If it’s a placebo, then who cares? If it works for you it’s works for you. I would much rather manage my insomnia with lavender than I would long term use of heavy medications if I can. Oils like tea tree are known to have antibacterial and antifungal properties when used on contaminated surfaces and that is evidence based. I don’t agree with young living as a company, it’s an overpriced brand that pretend they have all these regulations and standards as an excuse to up sell their products and they are a pyramid scheme. BUT I don’t think it’s fair for us to just shit on anyone who uses essential oils and feel like they benefit from them. As a midwife I see women relax every single day when in pain if we start diffusing lavender but also highly value the use of pethidine and epidurals when needed. I take daily medication for a long term health condition and I’m very very pro conventional medicine and science, but we can’t just discredit people’s positive experiences with alternative therapies. If it’s not causing any harm, then who cares. I do agree though that Young Living arguably do cause harm to people’s pockets, overpriced BS

Yep. I had a dreadful feeling this was just a sales pitch but I clicked anyway🤦‍♀️

I don't mean to be rude, but have you ever tried essential oils before? (Like actual quality eos) because if you haven't, I don't think it is fair to say they are junk or snake oil. I've personally been in a place where doctors, neurologists, and surgeons could not help me nor give me relief with my health issues. Essential oils (along with Hellerworking) gave me back the life I never thought I was going to have again. I personally don't align with the teachings of Young Living and doTERRA, because, as an aromatherapy student, I find them to be UNSAFE & sometimes dangerous (ex. Drinking eos in water, habitually neat (undiluted) use of oils, etc.)

I agree with your comment. I was following with the belief she was going to use her job as a nutritionist and dietician to help reach a longer network--it is extremely disappointing. I will say I got into essential oils because of Becca BUT after doing my own extensive research I am glad to say I only got suckered into buying one bottle from Young Living. I don't doubt they are pure essential oils, but as you stated they are NOT the only company and actually aren't as ethical as they seem. Young Living is truly in the business of marketing and great at having people like Becca market their products. They use THEIR own quality standards to test their own oils so of course it's the highest quality in their book *rolls eyes* I've found many other companies that I love for a fraction of the cost some even have an organic options, don't hide their reports, and customer service is amazing--already more ethical than Young Living. I use a lot of essential oils, have friends who swear by it, and introduced friends to it (no money made--I just point them directly to the website and give them resources to help their own research), but it is NOT magic liquid that will solve true underlying issues. Peppermint on your neck to cool you? Yes it works, but I've known about this for years from my mom's homemade peppermint oil. You can get organic and pure peppermint oil from many companies like Aura Cacia for $10-$12 direct from their site, Amazon or even Whole Foods. I compared this brand and another that I love to my friend's YL one and it is just the same if not better than YL. I converted said friend who was die hard YL and Doterra fan--she still uses some of the YL and Doterra but have also expanded her collection to include many brands. For those looking into Essential oils--- they are a great, but PLEASE PLEASE do your own research. There are MANY reputable companies out there that are PURE and just as good if not better than YL. Also true so much more disappointing to use a sensitive time to push MLM. I have nothing against MLM's as I have family who are involved in some type of business and love to support if it makes sense. I know, I wrote a novel, but hate to see people get suckered into spending so much. During such uncertain times, save your money for rainy days (or quarantine days like now).

The title does not say "Young Living," and THAT is the biggest problem.

@@inspirobotinspiration4360 actually, the biggest problem is someone wasting time out of their day to comment negativity. It’s really easy to stop watching something if you don’t like it and move on with your life.

@@sloanhall8638 Let me put it this way: If you saw a RU-vid video teaching the most effective way to beat your puppy, wouldn't *_you_* click the video and tell the creator not to do what they are doing? If so, you understand why people are criticizing this video. Young Living is not a company anyone should support, and people who do should be pressured not to.

@@inspirobotinspiration4360 actually no I would not. When I’m on RU-vid looking for content I think I would be interested in and I happen to disagree with said content, I close the video and move on. If I continued to watch and decided to comment trying to tell the person how they should word things or how to speak on THEIR channel then that’s a form of bullying when it’s nothing but negativity. If I don’t like a certain product or brand, I don’t try to bash the said product or brand. If someone ask me how I feel about it then I’ll give them my opinion on it. It’s not my place to form someone’s opinion because it doesn’t effect my life at all.

@@sloanhall8638 Let me say that again: A video on _how to beat your puppy._ Maybe you don't care about animals. What if it's a video on how to beat your children?? Would you not tell them to stop spreading such a harmful message?? And it's not bullying to give fair criticism on a platform that allows users to comment. If no one ever offered any criticism, nothing would ever change, and our world would never improve. The practices of Young Living affect scores of people, and if nothing is done to tarnish their reputation, they will continue to pull the wool over they eyes of their customers and distributors unabated.

Because she knows we are right about it being shady as fuck. I'm super disappointed, I love Becca and check her channel every few months hoping she'll go back to the science based nutrition videos, but theres always so much crap about the oils. Its disheartening to see someone you trusted buy into this. And you cant criticise it because they have their scripted answers for everything 🙄🙄
