When I moved from the U.K. to the U.S. I...I agree. When I moved from the U.K. to the U.S. I found it so difficult to find a 'reputable' essential oil supplier; in fact, I'm still experimenting as I don't like buying from big companies. I guess I was spoiled in the U.K. I did my training with Penny Price and bought her essential oils too- which are not tested on animals, know where they come from etc - in fact, I'm still considering buying from her, its just the shipping costs which makes it expensive and I have to put my prices up to reflect that, something that I am reluctant to do in this economy now :(Sharon Falsettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05699434290720581930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041492016803093071.post-39028637042163080992009-11-12T22:48:03.713-08:002009-11-12T22:48:03.713-08:00I completely agree that our favourites change over...I completely agree that our favourites change over time depending on mindset, energy levels and physical & emotional states. We seem to be attracted to the oils we need the most at any given time. This is testimony to their ability to work at a subconscious level and to their amazing vibrations.<br /><br />I also believe, though that our favourites can differ from those we use as practitioners as result of social & environmental issues. I think we have a huge responsibilty to educate our clients about endangered species, the importance of supporting ethical and sustainable business (including the treatment of indigenous peoples). <br /><br />This is something I've been researching lately and I'm really surprised that many companies I have bought from previously actually supply the essential oils of number of endangered botanical species, carrier oils that endanger the survival of animals or are extracted from them cruelly and hydrosols that are not possible, like lemon!<br /><br />I have come to expect this from the large beauty & skincare brands, but am disappointed that much loved Aromatherapy suppliers are not more responsibile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
