I had a panic attack at work one day. I was very stressed and about to quit for questionable business practices like sexual harassment and 15 hour shifts with no break. I had a lady come up to me and just put essential oils on my wrists and try to sell me young living whilst at work in the middle of a panic attack. If that’s not predatory I don’t know what it.

He *intentionally MURDERED* his baby girl for unlicensed medical testing (or whatever it was called) and got away with it?! He forced his wife to give birth in a hot tub and killed the child! He should be in prison for life and the whole company shut down.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying whatever benefits you get from essential oils. But, there is absolutely no reason to get essential oils through an MLM-especially Young Living.

I hate when they say “chemical free” girl EVERYTHING IS CHEMICALS

As a biology student...the "anti-viral" bull makes me LIVID

I have several chronic illnesses and it makes me a prime target. My husband and I have been struggling with starting a family for 3 years now, and I cannot tell you how many huns have tried to tell me their product will CURE MY ENDOMETRIOSIS. Like... how cruel to target someone who is heartbroken every month.

I use some oils as a part of my morning and evening routine, but mostly because I like the scents haha I find some smells to be comforting, but beyond that I don’t think that using essential oils as a primary source of medical treatment is ever a good idea 😟

I always worry about people that have no health insurance or high deductibles being sucked in. Because an oil is cheaper than an ER visit. It's so dangerous to be making wild claims

I'm excited to find a channel as new as yours that already is so entertaining. What sets you apart from all the current KZfaq anti-mlm channels, is that you really seem to do a lot of research and I always feel like I've learned something new from you. Many people only read posts from the anti-mlm reddit page, so it's great to see some fresh content. I think your channel will get big!

It amazes me how many people I hear that ingest these oils... 99% of the time it is a youngliving rep. DON'T PUT ESSENTIAL OILS IN YOUR MOUTH, UP YOUR BUTT, OR INTO IN ANY MUSCOUS MEMBRANE!!!

Are they legitimately telling people to put rosemary essential oil on their ECZEMA?! Omg I cannot even begin to think about how irritating that would be for someone’s skin 😳

I started with the pearl party video and now I’m so hooked! I’d love to see what you have to say about scentsy or melaleuca. Thanks for the great content 😄

My boyfriend's boss said his wife makes him use essential oils when he gets a headache so he uses them then takes advil.

Madison: 💁🏼‍♀️📸👀 Everyone: 🖥 👀 Kitty cat: 🐈 YEEET 😺

And , ALL my life, I thought Jesus died for our SINS. Thanks for clarifying, hunbot!! Now I know it was for oils??? I like how you read these!!

It frustrates me so much when people suggest essential oils to me, most aren't even hunbots they've just bought into the BS :/

Me during the whole video: CAT! CAT! CAT!

they really do take "snake oil" way too literally

The Jesus part hit close to home for me. Being Christian and homeschooled, I am ashamed at how many Religious people I know that buy into all kinds of nonsense and immediatly accept it with cult like obsession. Like.... dont make this scam your second religion! Be more self aware!!

I suffer with an autoimmune disease that causes pain and fatigue which doesn’t have a cure and there have been times where I’ve felt incredibly desperate to feel healthy so I can understand people falling for these false claims and it breaks my heart. I also had no idea essential oils could be harmful (I’ve never given them much thought tbh), I learn something new from each of your videos😊

in high school I was friends with twins whose stepmom didn't let them go to the doctor, only essential oils. One of them broke her wrist and she wasn't taken to the hospital until the next day when the oils didn't work and had to sleep on it with no painkillers. They would sometimes even talk about wanting to become a Young living rep because their stepmom wanted them to :(

... oh, and one of their most popular oils is “Thieves” hmmmm.... 🤔

Essential oils are great air fresheners if you don't wanna use alcohol based aerosols, but I'm fairly certain that's all they're good for. And making scent patches to help blind animals get used to new surroundings. (Small piece of fabric with a few drops of a scent-water mixture per room by the door but up away from where the animal could reach, each room different scent.)

Love that Gary Young committed a murder and the United States go 'eh' but if they spot a Black Person minding their business they'll go, "Jail!!!! Jail for 1000 years!!!"

I told my boyfriend that I love essential oils a few years ago and he looked at me like I was crazy and I had to be like "no no no not like that, I just like putting them in my diffuser because it smells good" and I was like god I hate that I have to specify that lol

i came to this video after watching the amway one and was reminded of how my parents have fallen DEEP into the dotera thing, and one time i went to my now ex bosses house and she was like 'oh your family is for dotera? This is a Young living household" and i was like I DONT CARE YOU ALL SMELL SO BAD. I'm surrounded by idiots :'(

There is a 2 part podcast done by "Behind the Bastards" and they do a deep dive on Gary Young. You should definitely listen to it if you haven't! It's insane.

I've never heard the term "decision fatigue" and it makes so. much. sense.

Ugh. This video reminded me of when I was struggling with my milk supply when breastfeeding. I was desperate to find something that would increase my supply and spent so much money on supplements, teas and snacks that said they would help and none of them did. I wish the FDA would go after those companies who prey on desperate new mothers who just want to be able to feed their babies. 😣

my mom is in young living. whenever I feel remotely sick, she lathers me up with some BS oils that smell like YUCK

My mom is one of these people. She buys essential oils like they’re actually essential. I’m 13 and they’re okay. She uses them on my brothers and I but all they’re really good for is headaches and acne breakouts. They aren’t a cure-all for your problems. I think it’s mainly the placebo effect that is messing with everyone. You say it’s going to cure everything and people believe it and it helps them. I wouldn’t waste money on it though. p.s i love your videos!!

What sucks is that I make soap from scratch, and I'm in a few soap-making Facebook groups. You have no idea how many people suggest Young Living and DoTerra EOs for their soaps (I don't even think they're cold-process soap-stable, but that's beside the point). I get into SO many arguments and I always link your channel, other anti-MLM channels, hell, even the income disclosure statements, but nobody AT ALL is willing to even look into them. Nobody. People in MLMs/that support MLMs are too hung up in their own confirmation bias and belief-perseverance error to be open to new ideas. And it truly sucks.

Omg. Poor baby and his mother. These oils are getting very popular at my country now... Like instagram is full with mommies who are selling these.

I went to what I thought was a job interview during our last economy crash and when I showed they were selling $350 packs of juice. It was my last $20 in gas, and looking around the room at tons of people who are looking for a job made me so mad. I may have flipped out and cussed the people out and told them they were frauds. People who do this are sick.

Would you do a video on how to talk to people who are in an MLM or considering joining one to hopefully help them see the light? It is like getting someone out of a cult and no matter what you say they won't hear it or take it as a personal attack. Quite unfortunate.

This photography client of my Dad's literally got burned by using one of these oils on her neck, I can't remember which one it was. So sad to think people are putting those oils on their baby's delicate skin.

Theres a podcast called The Dream that I think youd really enjoy - season 1 was all about mlm companies, and season 2 is all about the woo-woo "alternative health" stuff that is at best ineffective and at worst dangerous (such as the Goop garbage that includes a jade egg that can cause toxic shock syndrome due to jade being porous...). And I'm someone who grew up practicing, and still does practice, alternative health but in a logical way. Nothing is "magic" - everything my parents and I use has a logical reason behind it. For example, we have ginger tea with a sprinkle of cayenne when we're sick because those two foods increase blood flow (this is why spicy food makes you feel hot after you eat it). You can think of blood like the roads that white blood cell "cars" use to get to the area of infection (where the bacteria is living). So increasing circulation is like increasing the speed limit and opening up a few more lanes, helping the white blood cells reach the bacteria cells sooner. Herbs like ginger and cayenne are not a magic cure-all - they just give the body/immune system a little boost as it fights infection. This is how medicinal herbs work - in small, logical ways. Topical supplements like oils can not affect the body like this as they are external as opposed to internal, and essential oils are not designed to be taken internally. I'm so sick of snake oil salespeople like YL making up junk about "metaphysical" gobbledegook and turning people off the entire concept of alternative medicine (which btw should obviously be used *with* traditional medicine and NEVER instead of it).

Wow I didn’t know about Gary young. So upsetting!!!! Hard to believe that consultants are so unaware of this.

I was talking to some women at my church several years ago about my problems with chronic fatigue syndrome, and one of them went, "Have you tried essential oils?" I was so shocked that I just stared at her. No, lady. I haven't. Because no.

As someone who has had peppermint oil help their skin, my advice is: -Research from unbiased sources -Diffuse it, don't use straight -test on a small patch of skin -don't use if it burns Basically, if you're considering adding anything to your skin care, treat it like new skin care and be careful. Peppermint can sooth sunburns, but if used wrong it can burn worse

Officially down the rabbit hole after your "pearl party" video... Lol Can't wait to watch your channel grow!

Omgoodness... I don’t buy YL oils bc there are oils that are just as good for a fraction of theirs price but this alone has sealed the deal for me. What a sick human being. I cannot even wrap my mind around what a monster he is

I have used essential oils for years now. I used to buy from YL, but the whole you have to spend $100 each month to get your paycheck really struck me the wrong way. I personally have seen benefits from some essential oils, not all of them, but some. And I do believe that there can be some benefits from them if you use them correctly and don't expect "cures" for major issues. I suffer from depression and I would never stop taking my medication and rely only on essential oils. I have mostly found benefits in oils for respiratory issues and general wellness. My other big issue with YL is bc they're an MLM, their prices are insane and unaffordable. They also don't disclose their purity testing results. Other companies, like Plant Therapy (NOT an MLM) are fully transparent with quality testing results and use 3rd party testors. I think people can find some benefits from essential oils, but should definitely do research on the kind of company theyre purchasing from. Don't purchase from an MLM! In my research I also found that independent, 3rd party testing done of YL oils showed that some oils didn't even include the single oil listed on the bottle. And most included filler oils. So purity is not a priority for YL, money is. This could be a big culprit of skin reactions to certain oils, when someone thinks they're getting pure cinnamon oil and filler oils are not listed on the bottle at all.

I had someone tell me to use peppermint oil.... For my asthma...when I have an asthma attack

They are so bold with these lies 💀

My daughter is special needs and the school asked me to put her on medication to help with her behavior. My babysitter suggested some oil from young living... I did use it a few times in a diffuser, not directly on her, and took my child to her doctor for help. I told my sitter that the oil didn't work. Her up line actually came to my house and gave me a big book on essential oils and tried to get me to sign up for the 150.00 kit. I just thanked her and explained that I can't afford that.

I love the nosy kitty!

I really want to see a video with younique and farmasi ❤️ I love this kind of videos so much, it's so informative

Your new audio sounds great! 💗💗💗

I can't get over people adding this shit to their food. 😅😅😅

omg you have a video about young living. i suggested making one bc i didn’t see one but i’m pretty new to this channel

Oh and I love your kitchen! Future home inspo :)

Essential oil/natural remedies bots, in general, are completely insane, whether they are associated with an MLM or not. I would love to see videos about some of the crazy "health trends" in that world, even though they always make me so mad. I follow a few FB pages that expose these (strangely, quite a few of them are Australian, there must be something in the water down there) and some of those "natural" people are legit dangerous.

I had someone tell me that essential oil could heal my pneumonia. I’m glad I didn’t listen lol

A coworker introduced this to my job and clients drink the oils...I had previously watched this video so I knew better but was shocked...

I am a Christian conservative. The medication shaming is huge. The MLN in huge. The use of taking verses to peddle products is very common as well.

Just saw a fb post from my boyfriend's sister saying she's 'starting her Young Living journey...' courtesy of her "FRIEND." 😔 I really just want to give her the facts, truth, but I know it's not going to sway her. It never does.

I use essential oils for aroma therapy, as well as some facial/hair treatments. I buy all my shit from HEB. I know for a fact that they have some benefits but I'd never claim outrageous shit about it

I’m from spokane and was startled when you mentioned this is where it all began 😬

Thanks for sharing. I recently learned of the background of the founder. It is so shameful. There is no reason to be aligned with YL. Oils are helpful for some minor things. You can buy them at a health food store. No subscription or manipulation is necessary.

One of my old coworkers moved out of state, got married, became a mom, and is doing the whole homesteading & very “back to nature” lifestyle. She recently started posting about YL, and even does weekly videos of living with all the YL stuff. She sent out a monthly buy program advert that I literally LOL’d at! Each month the packages were at least $100... from $12 toothpaste to $26 shampoo - CRAZY! I personally enjoy lemongrass, peppermint (add a drop or two to my shampoo weekly), and lavender at night in the diffuser... but I buy the 8 pack for $20 off Amazon and have no complaints. It’s just crazy how people fall for these schemes... and you can’t talk them out of it. I too fell prey years ago... *cough* Herbalife Snake SHAKE... 😩🤭

You don’t sound uneducated!!!! I’m super educated but I struggle reading out loud so I feel ya!!!

As a Spokane resident, I can confirm your first pronunciation was correct, good job! A lot of people assume it's Spo-cain, but it's based on the Native American Spokane tribe, and pronounced "Spo-can".

As a biologist with a master degree in food supplements the cringe is sooooo hard. I pour a few drops of lavender essential oil on my dried flowers to make the room smell good and make me feel a bit more relaxed, but that's about it. Put it in the soap to make it smell good or very very diluted in a lotion, but do not use it if pregnant, do not use it if you are a kid or a teen, do not drink it, do not rub it pure on the skin and do not take it internally! I don't want essential oils on my skin, they are so lipophilic they get absorbed very fast and deeply in the skin which can provoke reactions and permanent allergy to even chemical burns which lead to scarring!!! That stuff should not be used 100% pure!!!! And sure as hell shouldn't be so expensive or sold by incompetent moms who put emojis and mispellings all over their posts!

Sorry you were bummed out, but you may have save one (or more!) lives. It was hard, but you told us what you came up with. Everyone still gets to decide themselves, but you may have pushed them farther into their research, and that's not a bad thing.

I used to be a part of this church program called Young Life and I was very confused for the first minute till I realized we were dealing with different companies 😂

I think i just had a realistic "earning money online" ad right before your video 😳

thankfully my mom isn’t a part of any MLM but she DOES beleive in essential oils being a cure all. most recently i’ve been struggling with severe eczema all over my face, i break out when i’m stressed. she wants to put essential oils all over my sensitive skin, into open wounds. no, thanks

I met someone at a networking event who claimed that a Young Living blend would cure/treat scoliosis. All I heard was crickets.

Essential Oils might make you relax or feel more energized, maybe get rid of a headache, but they aren't going to solve any other problems unless those problems are insects.

I love love love your puns!!! Lmao every time

im so sensitive to smells and perfumes as they upset my sinus. i cant have essential oils etc in my house but i can say yuck that makes me sick, cant imagine if it was making a kid was sick from it

Please do a video on Avon and Reese witherspoon being the first global ambassador. The charity work they do is confusing and there is little information about the negatives of the mlm. Thanks! Love your videos😊

I always look out for your cat/s, its like looking for ‘Wally’ I thought one was looking into a mirror, however i think it was a door

FDA doesn’t regulate advertising. It’s FTC. FDA involved in the safety and efficacy of the drugs.

I despise this company so much. Young living actually partnered with hospitals for “aroma therapy sessions” I don’t think they claim to cure anything with them. Just to aid in relaxation and teach about them. But that’s seriously super fucked up still and I feel like they’re basically setting up shop there and buying out hospitals?!

Some do work though Clove oil is great for tooth pain, eucalyptus for congestion, I use one called calm muscle and it really helps for muscle aches. They have to be mixed with a carrier oil and should almost never, ever be ingested. They also don't need a MLM for them, you can use google to find recipes and amazon to buy them.

Great video. Would love to hear your thoughts on the bizarre "clean with me" genre of YT videos by many of these Young LIving cult moms... promoted as stay at home mom vlogs/ "cleaning inspo" with no ad disclaimer or YL affiliation clearly sated, but clearly they are nothing more than heavily veiled ads for YL ! The women claim to be self-filming their cleaning routines around their eerily similar and soulless suburban mcmansions, but based on how similarly shot, edited (w slick music and impossible angles) the videos of this genre from different channels appear, it seems they're not your average homemade vlogs... I suspect they are being produced by the company (the music alone seems like something a single mom youtuber couldn't get the rights for herself). Of course somewhere along the sometimes hour long videos, they will drop a line like "I get all my cleaning products from Young Living" or are sure to fill a few essential oil diffusers throughout the house as part of their "cleaning routine." Wide angles shots clearly show off expansive, granite-counter-topped homes with their wasteful space plans and hideously tacky suburban architecture, Thus appealing further to their target audience of certain "moms" who undoubtedly idealize this type of home/family life. And don't even get me started on how all of them also seem to feature their Christianity in the videos... whether its showing them forcing their kids to pray before a meal, or shots of obvious signage, crosses, or "Blessed" wooden wall hanging they conveniently "dust" in a shot... is there some right wing, christian agenda also linked to Young Living company? certainly feels like it. I am a liberal, atheist, childless, urbanite who doesn't give a crap about essential oils, and who also doesn't even like to clean, yet I have watched HOURS of these types of videos in various youtube rabbit hole moments... they are mesmerizing, addictive and hypnotizing (partly for me bcs I just find them so bizarre) but I suspect they are designed with just this purpose in mind. Something definitely fishy about them. If interested and you can't find, I can send some links!

I love essential oils and incense, but only because it relaxes me. I think the most medical or magical think they can do is smell good.

I use essential oils (im not one that believes they are a cure-all). But I laugh when the sellers say only use YL because they are the only best quality oils......... there are other companies that make decent oils that aren't charging $50 for a 5mL bottle! I'm late to comment cus I literally just found your channel!

I totally agree with you! All you have to do is Google CDC and Young Living oils. That's enough for me! So many KZfaqrs use that platform to promote their sales for young living. Total BS

I need your Love mug! Ty for exposing the shadiness and the shyster Ness of young living for I can attest that I honestly thought I was rekindling an old friendship from high school when I reached out to her to say hello and that it was good to see her online. I was literally just giving her a friendly greeting and the bonus of course would be to start a conversation with her and talk about old times but then she started right in with her young living shyster business And proceeded to try and sell me a $96 bottle of a special lavender … It was an even a half an ounce I don’t even think it was a quarter ounce if I remember it was definitely below that. And come to find out she had put me on her mailing list she had put me on her group list she had put me on this and that list and I was so offended by the fact that that was the first thing she went for when I DMd her and she’s not hurting for income-she lives in a very exclusive luxury Town and has her massively successful and woman owned Japanese garden landscape business which is cool I like that and she could’ve even told me about that but no had to put all the oils in the messages (and I put in tremendous research over at least 20 years of my own just because I want to know how to buy quality oils for value). Anyway, sorry about the long, but yeah about that mug! And you’re truly gorgeous-💕

Going to a diploma mill for a degree in Naturopathy, is equavalent to going to a college for naturopathy. Both ways, you get nothing useful

So my ex roommate uses YL and honestly, I bought a lot of the stuff more for the smell aspect because I liked my room smelling good and candles would set off our fire alarm a lot for some reason so I settled with a safer alternative which was YL essential oils in a diffuser. I liked the smells but never actually used it on my skin because I was pretty happy with skin products I had. I have eczema really bad and my skin gets super itchy and irritated so I literally don’t use fragrance in anything. Well, one time we were cooking and I burned my hand pretty badly on the stove and I immediately just shoved it under cold water just to get any sort of relief possible. I asked her if she had some burn cream in her first aid kit (she did) but she literally proceeded to grab an essential oil spray that had “healing properties for burns”. I stared at her as she proceeded to spray it on my hand and about started crying from the sheer throbbing/shooting pain that was now radiating through my hand. Honestly, it was more painful than the hot stove touching my skin. Then she told me to stop crying and that I needed to just leave it on and it would help. I suffered for about 10-20 minutes and was like “I can’t, I need to wash it off and I need that burn cream that’s in your first aid kit.” She seemed irritated but I mean she couldn’t stop me I was so relieved to wash that stuff off. Slathered that burn cream on and wrapped my hand and unfortunately I think the spray had been on so long that the cream couldn’t even save me. Needless to say I never used nor will I ever use essential oils on my skin again. She’s graduating from nursing school which actually concerns me🤷🏼‍♀️

I would love for you to do dōTERRA as a sister video to this one. dōTERRA’s founders are ex-young living executives.

I used to work with DHL and one of my regular customer is a young living boss babe. She spent around 100$ for shipping (local) alone! I felt sorry for her but we retail people can't tell customers what to do with their life.

Your cat spooked me haha

Everytime someone tries to sell me some, I find recipes with oils in them and send them back. Rosemary oil, how about some Rosemary potatoes.

2:49 🐈: excuse me, this is my show now, pay attention to me

I use essential oils but not to cure anything. For me, they smell good and that puts me in a good mood, but that's all.

Off topic, but I love your Facebook mom voice 😂

I use eucalyptus or lavender oil in my baths or diffusers. Both for comfort. Eucalyptus can calm me in a panic attack cause it reminds me of my childhood.

My mom was involved with this one, not as a distributor, but an oil believer. These oils are so ridiculously expensive.

sdsjdh i have nothing to say i just wanna help the algorithm

The monthly amount is closer to $50. And they have a wide array of products its not just oils. People can buy makeup, cbd, oils, lotions, soaps shampoos etc.

I saw her video. Excellent!!

Loved the cat camera kiss

Lol I thought my speaker was broken then you said it was your audio 😂 Also maybe these hun bots should be made aware that these eo are not herbal extracts (that can ACTUALLY be used for medicinal purposes)

I was thinking how I love you right before you said I love you haha

Even when all you’re doing is diffusing them you mix them with a decent amount of water and then a few drops of it and these moms will tell you to use it for anything and everything any way you want to...
