I've never tried Young Living, so I can't comment on those. I do like Aura Cacia.

Do you recommend the Aura Cacia brand of essential oils? (just noticed the picture you posted) I'm just comparing prices. Young living looks great, but pretty pricey. Do you get what you pay for in this case? Thank you! :)

I am also an essential oil user! DoTerra oils are Certified Theraputic Grade Oils. They are very strict on testing for each oil to ensure purity and potency. They also grow their plants in their indiginous country for example, Lavender is grown in the high altitudes of France, Lemon comes from Italy, and Frankincense is sourced from Oman (not off the side of the freeway in Utah). They are also very good at providing education about oils. You can check out this website http://www.builddoterra.com and click on education. Doterra also provides a nutrition label on each oil that is okay to be ingested. There are so many amazing things that oils can do! If you have questions, feel free to email me emilymay10@Juno.com

I used Lavender a lot with my girls in their baths, and later noticed that my oldest (at 7 years old) started to grow pubic hair! I did some research and read several articles (evidence based studies) that lavender (and tea tree oil) can cause a hormone disruption in girls and cause premature puberty. There were also a couple of studies about boys growing breasts. We stopped using lavender altogether and the pubic hair growth stopped and it looks like some of it fell out. Our pediatrician was not aware of the lavender studies, but did say that tea tree oil has contributed to early puberty in girls. Don't want to be a downer - just wanted to share our experience...

I've been uisng and sharing Young Living essential oils for about 12 years (topical, internal, diffusing, aromatherpy, personal fragrance instead of purfume). Use the "Complete Book ...." you reference quite often, it's an excellent resource. One of my favorites for little ones is a blend from Young Living called Gentle Baby. It is one that is approved for use on children, as well as lavender, another favorite. My grandchildren became so familiar with my ritual of rubbing Gentle Baby on the bottoms of their feet at nap time that they could pick out that bottle from all the rest of them! Young Living follows the European standards (AFNOR) for Therapeutic Grade A oils since there are no standards here.

Great post! I know a lot of people are scared to use essential oils on children, I find the list you made of safe essential oils for the younglings to be very accurate. We use Essential Oils every day in our home and love them. One thing you left out is for very small babies, or when using oils you do not want your child to put in your eye, you can apply essential oils to the bottom of the child's feet. This way they get the benefit of the essential oil without the risk of it getting into their eyes or mouth. I use this a lot when my daughter has a cold with ravansara or eucalyptus oil. I just started an essential oil series on my blog. I would love to share it! http://naturallivingmamma.com/2012/02/13/essential-oils-101-what-are-essential-oils/
