I had a conversation recently with a friend who uses a competitor’s essential oils and is very vocal about her belief that no one should ever ingest essential oils. We’ve talked in the past about how Young Living is different and, of course, I would never even think about ingesting oils from any other company. Her reply has been “just because it’s natural, doesn’t mean you should eat it.” I would agree. Snake venom is natural, but I do not plan to ever ingest any of that.
