It’s been several months since I started using essential oils. I still can not believe how versatile they are. I used to think that essential oils could only be used in aromatherapy and to be honest, it kind of pushed me away from trying them out. Why? Because I associated these oils with the stinky smell of some aromatherapy stores. Little did I know at that time, but there is so much more to essential oils that people don’t know about. The great part about essential oils is that they are highly concentrated plant elements that are extracted from the roots, stems, seeds, gums, needles, bark or resin of numerous types of plants. This means a little goes a long way.
