Some people's experiences with cheap Lavender:
1. One lady's daughter had a pretty good sunburn. The mother put lavender on her because she heard it was soothing for burns and it intensified the burns to 3rd degree burns. Well guess what, she sued Young Living. Then the truth came out that she had bought it from a health food store. It was not Young Living's. Needless to say, she lost the case.
2. Yesterday a co-worker got mixed up with a large grinder here at work. It peeled the skin off three of his fingers; one finger nail was ground clear through. I called Delene (my wife) and had her bring the lavender over. He wasn't sure he wanted to put it on because it might burn. I told him, that if anything, it would take the burn out of the burn. We applied it and it really helped. The pain was mostly gone and the stiffness went out of it. I applied the lavender about once an hour and as he was going home offered him the bottle. His response was, that's ok, we have some at home. I explained to him about the training I had, and how we were warned about some of the "cheap" lavenders and what they did to burns. He assured me that he had "good" stuff and left.
This morning, as soon as he got here, he looked me up. Seems like his "lavender" isn't the good stuff. He said that when he put it on, it about set his hand on fire.
He has to fly out to Washington State tomorrow and says he is going to stop at the farm on the way and get some "good" lavender. Keith
3. One woman, who had heard of the ability of lavender oil to sooth burns, used lavender oil from a local health food store when she spilled boiling water on her arm. The pain intensified and the burn worsened, so she later complained that lavender oil was worthless for soothing burns. When her "lavender" oil was analyzed, it turned out to be lavendin, a hybrid lavender that is chemically very different from pure Lavendula Angustifolia. Lavendin contains high levels of camphor (12-18%) and can itself burn the skin, which intensified her burn. The Lavendula Angustifolia contains virtually no camphor and has a burn soothing agent which is not found in lavendin.
I hope this helps to explain the importance of having pure therapeutic grade essential oil for your family because you could get a great reaction--one that you do not want.
Also, 85% peppermint is made up of corn mint, not true peppermint. Perfumeries and flavoring companies were there long before Aromatherapy came along. This is why it is so important to have knowledge so you can teach others.
Primrose said that they don't like to call it adulterated. Instead, they call it "adjusted". When she goes and gets the oils for Gary, she goes right to the source and makes sure it is the best, at Young Living request, and if it's not the best, she WILL NOT buy it. She will not look at the GC's and take their word for it. She said she needs to know how it is grown, distilled, etc. She said if other companies were like Young Living, it would "bring aromatherapy forward".
Dr. Minke said that a lady had used chamomile on her son and it burnt his skin. Chamomile? It's very soothing. She had bought $300 worth of oils from the health food store, and when Dr. Minke gave her Young Living oil she didn't use them again after she learned the difference from Dr. Minke. In the health food store you can buy oil for the quarter of the cost of Young Living Therapeutic Grade oil (YLTG)--the wonders of chemistry.
Dr. Stewart said that he gave a naturopath some Valor and he said, I've already tried that and he got mad and told him to get out. Dr. Stewart gave him the bottle anyway and left. Later he called Dr. Stewart and said that he had put the Valor on a patient, left the room, came back to adjust him, and he had already adjusted. He signed up.

These are some of the areas Gary has traveled to to make sure we have the best. This is the frankincense trail that Gary has made into a movie, which was shown at the 2010 convention. The documentation of the Frankincense trail has never been done before. A National Geographic photographer saw all of Gary's camels and asked how he got all those camels because he had been trying for 25 years and couldn't get them. Gary had 30 camels, packs and saddles in three hours. These are just a few pictures Gary had taken on the Frankincense Trail.
This picture to the left, is of a beautiful lady carrying a baskets of frankincense resin.
