Three years ago I had no idea what an essential oil was. If asked, I would have guessed it was those scents that people diffuse to make the house smell good. I would have never, ever thought that they would one day be such a big part of my life.
I think it’s the first time that I discuss essential oils on the blog, but I have been using essentials oils for the past three years. There is a reason that I waited to share on the blog. I didn’t want to recommend a method or a company that I had not tried on my own family, especially my kids. I have also shared about the oils with my close friends and they have had great success as well. My friends know that I wouldn’t share something just to sell something. I have to fall in love first, and I did.
Just in case you are like I was 3 years ago and have no idea about what essential oils are and the benefits that they can bring into your life, I decided to share a little introduction to essential oils.
What are essential oils?
Essential oils are extracts from plants. They are highly concentrated and are 50 to 70 times more powerful than the actual herb. Essential oils are often the inspiration behind synthetically produced pharmaceutical products.
Are all essential oils the same?
Not one bit. Many oils claim to be pure but still contain synthetics. I chose a certified pure brand and they source their plants from their native growing region. Make sure that the oil that you are using is pure which will avoid negative side effects or drug interactions. The benefits of using oils is huge and many times immediately visible.
Are essential oils a new fad?
Nope. This natural way of taking care of our health has been used by many ancient cultures. Oils are similar in properties to synthetic drugs, without the side effects and they are mentioned over 500 times in the bible. This stuff is not new and has stood the test of time.
What can I use essential oils for?
In my home we use essential oils to help with tension, stuffy noses and so much more.
