About Essential Oils: Research, research, research

Are you [still] skeptical about essential oils? I will admit I was very, let's say, curious when I first heard about them and after doing HOURS of research I finally decided to give them a try. I mean, what did I have to lose, especially after reading so much about toxins in products I consume??

Before I start, I need to make it clear that I am not a doctor. I can and will not guarantee anything about using essential oils. Your choice to use essential oils is your choice and just because certain essential oils work for someone, does not mean they will work for you. Everyone is different and will respond differently to essential oils, just like in the world of modern medicine. Part of the challenge and fun is researching natural remedies, listening to other's experiences and ultimately being in control of what you consume.

I decided to start with the Young Living essential oils starter kit and ever since I started using them about three years ago, I've been hooked. I chose Young Living mainly because of their 'Seed to Seal Quality Commitment' and that they seem to be the purest, most authentic essential oils in the market. This makes them safe for consumption, on the oils you can consume. In all though, our skin is our largest organ so really your body is consuming them however you use them. As you start to use Young Living essential oils you'll even start to notice the scent difference or how many drops of a competitor you have to use to product the same potency.

A verse that has summed up my essential oil adventures is this: 

Ezekiel 47:12 (NIV) // "Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing."

This is just reminder to me that God has really supplied us with everything we need. So in anything I consume I want to make sure I am consuming as close to the natural source as possible. Any ingredients I can't pronounce and have no idea what they mean, don't sit right with me. What is it?? And what is it doing to me. I feel much better using and making things that I know exactly what I put in them and this is the best part of this adventure.
