Answer

I've never had good results with brands like now as far as true therapeutic benefits. It's worth the money to buy the expensive starter kits. If you don't want to go with a mlm company like young living or doTerra (both of which sell great oils- although I prefer young living) go with a company like mountain rose herbs or Native American nutritional.  Really research companies. Essential oils are pretty powerful and potent. It's worth it to understand what your getting, how the oils are sourced, etc. You pay more for quality oils because you are paying for high quality beyond organic farming practices, high quality distillation, high quality testing to make sure purity hasn't been compromised. Again you don't have to go through the big mlm companies to get that per se. But I would def at least search out high quality. The grocery store brands like now aren't really the way to go imo

Answer

With essential oils, you get what you pay for. Unfortunately there isn't a federal grading for essential oils, so anyone can claim "100% pure essential oil" even if it's far from true. In my opinion, if you're going to get into the oils, dōTERRA and Young Living are the two most reputable brands. I personally use dōTERRA bc I love what there company stands for, but I trust both brands completely! dōTERRA has a great 3-oil starter kit for $26, that comes with lemon, lavender, and peppermint. Then there is a "family physician" kit that comes with 10 fantastic oils for $166 (or $125 wholesale). IMO the family physician kit is the way to go. With oils included that help boost your immune system, fight off the cold/flu, unclog a stuffed nose, help tummy troubles, headaches, household cleaning, etc...the family physician kit will get you started right!! 
Hope that helps =)

Plant therapy is a great co if you don't want to go with a mlm

Answer

I only use and trust YoungLiving. YoungLiving has been around the longest on the market, has Seed to Seal promise, has the most available oils and their distillation process isn't 3rd or 5th distillation like other companies.

Answer

I purchased NOW lavender and it smelled horrible! I love lavender and their oil smelled like weeds.

Answer

I wouldn't go with NOW I have found I am allergic to all lavender oils expect young livings lavender(also the most pure). I figure if the lavender is that much different who knows what the others are like.  I only want the best in/on me and also for my baby.

Answer

Young living is the best in the business! Built on good morals by a wonderful family. They are the only company to have a seed to seal promise! I've visited the lavender farm in Mona Utah, it's beautiful. I have a whole new appreciation for young living. It's great to have an upline in your area, but if you have trouble finding someone I would love to be! You can order your kit or any other products from here. Happy oiling! http://yldist.com/charlenegoering/
