Essential Oils 101

Welcome... if you are reading my blog then you are about to learn everything you've ever wanted to know about essential oils but were afraid to ask... Whether you already use and understand the benefits of essential oils or if you are just curious about what all the hype is about, I hope that you will find my blog useful and informative.  Each week, I'll highlight a different essential oil or talk about a different health issue that can be addressed with essential oils and how to use them. In addition, I'll gladly share recipes for making your own creams, lotions, and sugar scrubs using essential oils.  And of course, I welcome all questions and comments. Chances are that if you have some sort of health issue... there's an oil for that!



Essential oils are some of the oldest and most powerful therapeutic agents known.  In their purest state, essential oils are some of the most concentrated natural extracts known, exhibiting significant and immediate anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and hormone-balancing effects.  In clinical practice, essential oils have been shown to have a profound influence on the central nervous system, helping to reduce or eliminate pain, release muscle tension, and provide strong emotional uplift.  The chemical structure of essential oils is such that it can rapidly penetrate cell membranes, travel throughout the blood and tissues, and enhance cellular function.
