Young Living is
the biggest rip off on the internet - takes people awhile to
figure it
out. Anyone interested in Essential Oils needs to order from here
http://www.aromaland.orgThese are highest quality oils
(Theraputic grade) you can get at far better
prices. (No I am not a
Dist. not a MLM)
Don't be fooled by Gary Young and his minions.
