1. Healing With Essential Oils
I feel like Aromatherapy was popular in the 80’s, went into decline in the 90’s, and is now all of a sudden making a resurgence under its new guise ‘Essential Oil Therapy’. But the plant extracts (and their infinite intelligence) have always been there. It’s like Creating Your Own Home Medicine Chest has just become awesomely trendy.
My absolute top oils I couldn’t live without include Frankincense, Lavender, Wild Orange, Peppermint, Bergamot, Lemon and Tea Tree. Some of my favorite brands include Doterra (US & Int), Forever Living (US & Int.) and Young Living (US & Int.).
