Introduction
The first time I realized the full healing potential of essential oils was when I came down with a nasty cold. I was experiencing a lot of congestion that resulted in painful sinus headaches. At the time, I wasn’t as knowledgeable about essential oils, but I found them intriguing and had purchased several from a company a friend recommended. I diffused a combination of clove, cinnamon, and rosemary essential oils and was surprised when I felt remarkably better within a day. My congestion broke up and I could breathe again. My headaches subsided, and the pressure that caused them was gone. It was then I knew I was on to something.
My interest in essential oils grew from there, and I realized what little I knew about essential oils was not enough. I had to find out more. Everything I had learned came from a friend who sold essential oils. After taking steps to become formally educated in aromatherapy, I began to learn that what I thought I knew was not entirely accurate. I had been applying essential oils incorrectly and using the wrong (and potentially unsafe) essential oils around my children. This is one reason I am passionate about educating others on proper essential oil usage. Many of the tips and tricks people are given are not only ineffective but can also be downright dangerous. It is my aim to help others feel empowered to use essential oils in a way that is not just safe but also increases the effectiveness of the oils being used.
My love of essential oils
