Essential Oils
Concentrated treasures of botanical constituents, essential oils have been used throughout history for their aromatherapeutic properties, healing capabilities, and much more. Portable, frequency enhancing and mood altering, they are unmatched in usefulness and applicability. Some are readily available and very familiar, while others are more rare and precious. All are volatile, meaning that their essence floats up, up, and away when exposed, so remember to keep those lids on tight! Essential oils are potent and versatile. You’ll be glad to have a variety at your disposal within your healing tool kit. Remember to be very careful to keep them out of reach of little ones, and away from pets, as they can be harmful if used improperly. Essential oils can be added to your unscented body products one drop at a time to personalize your self care rituals, added to a hot bath, or a linen spray. The applications are as varied as your imagination!

Oregano
Antiseptic, antioxidant and antibacterial, this well loved culinary herb is powerful medicine as well! Always dilute this essential oil, as it is very spicy when used on the body.
