Where do you guys get you essential oils?

[Slicknyc]

Just getting back into home brewing after like 15 years. Really only brewed fina and test and totally forgot everything so I’m basically a newbie at this. I’m getting my setup together and I’ve decided to go with EO and maybe grab another carrier oil just in case. Looking around online and the price for USP EO and basically all oils USP grade is damn expensive. Do you guys basically go with food grade or is there a med store I’m not seeing in my search? Thanks guys

There's very few recipes that you'd need EO, it's unnecessary 95% of the time. The only thing I've ever used it for is base compounds.

As far as carrier oils, just typing USP MCT oil is about as difficult as it gets.. Take your pick. First result I clicked on was about 1000ml for $26.. and I know you can get it cheaper than that.

I was doing some research on the EO as the primary carrier and I saw a lot of positive feedback. I guess I could go MCT using this and it’s cheaper . My mistake I didn’t look much for the MCT I was more interested in going with EO as primary carrier. Thanks

Amazon.com

Sheesh yeah I’m looking all over. I may still get it and use it at 30-40% with GSO. You’re not the only one who likes using EO. As far as health - looks like a lot of compound pharmacies have been using it as a carrier for awhile. Thanks for all of your help bro.

I have heard a lot about it being bad for health but have never seen proof,or a particular reason.
Everytime I see EO talk it's only limited to that:
"It is bad for your body"
I am willing to discontinue using any moment but not because "it is bad for my body".
I need how's and why's.
