Essential oil’s are a wildly HOT topic. And for good reason. Put simply—they work. They work and you can use them along with better dietary and exercise patterns, to contribute to disease prevention and better health. This of course could contribute to avoiding costly prescriptions, caustic chemicals, and toxins.
Our Skeptics Guide to Essential Oils series has been one of our top series of posts over the last several months. This series has worked to help demystify essential oils: how they work, how to choose a company, who the real authorities on essential oils are, and the truth about aromatherapy certification.
It isn’t enough though. You might be convinced that essential oils could benefit you, but how do you get started? You shouldn’t just be using essential oils willy nilly, without knowing what you’re doing.
