Essential oils come from plants. They are naturally occurring compounds that help the plant to grow and thrive. Think of them as the immune system of plants.
Without getting too technical, the structure of each compound gives the oil its smell as well as the properties it provides.
Some are natural antifungal, antibacterial, or antiviral. There are so many amazing properties that are great for your health and wellbeing.
There are tons of uses for essential oils. From your hair down to your toenails, oils can help you look and feel your best.
Trust me you need essential oils in your life. After using them for so long, I don't know what I would do without them. I reach for them first for upset tummies, headaches, and when I need to relax.
I have been using essential oils for years and know just how potent and helpful they are. There is so much power in just one drop. With a teen and a toddler, I deal with all the moods. Placing something calming and supportive in the diffuser makes my household so peaceful!
Today I am sharing just 10 reasons why you need essential oils.
