Essential Oil Therapy, know what you're getting into

When speaking to a client about essential oils, I was very clearly reminded that there is a lot of mis-information out there...  Just because you buy something from, lets say, bath and bodyworks, that says its lavender, you are not really getting something made from Mother Natures lavender...  you are getting something that has been synthetically created to copy what Mother Nature created naturally.  

I remind you to ask about the ingredients (read the labels) when purchasing products because if it is not organic than you are just adding more chemicals to your body ...although our skin is a barrier, anything applied to it can be partially absorbed into the blood stream and still needs to be processed by the liver.   Unless an oil has been tested and you know the chemical makeup (therapeutic grade essential oils come with a GCMS report) you don't really know what it will do to your body, and you have no idea if it is watered down or pure oil.  

I personally use essential oils for many things - skin care, hair care, meditation, psychic clearing and cleansing of the aura, protection from negative energy, sore muscles, headaches, nausea, indigestion, mood enhancers, confidence, detoxification, and cleaning products.  If you would like to find out more about what essential oils can do for you, please let me know!  I'd be happy to help!
