Essential oils are the aromatic, volatile, and often delicate liquids that are stored in the stems, leaves, fruits, flowers, seeds, and roots of plants. Unlike common vegetable oils, essential oils do not oxidize and become rancid, nor are they greasy. More often they feel watery and barely there.
Throughout the history of humankind, in almost every culture in the world, essential oils were legendary for healing, fighting infection, and enhancing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual strength.
Essential oils are nature's most unique and direct way to support all the structures and functions of the body - physical, mental, and emotional. They will enhance every healthy choice you make.

Why is it so difficult to find pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils?
Cost - Because it may require several hundred pounds, or even several thousand pounds of plant material to extract one pound of pure essential oil, it can be very costly.
Quality - Because the vast majority of all the oils produced in the world today are used by the perfume industry, the oils are being purchased for their aromatic qualities only.
Quantity - High pressure, high temperatures, rapid processing and the use of chemical solvents are often employed during the distillation process so that a greater quanitity of oil can be produces at a faster rate. These oils may smell just as good and cost much less, but will lack most, if not all, of the chemical constituents necessary to produce the expected therapeutic results.

Experiences
I have used several of the essential oils and some blends, but my all time favorite is lavender. I use it any time I’m not sure what to use. I suffer from mild acne and have found it to help dry up pimples and almost eliminate blackheads. I finally got my teenage son to use it and he says it’s the best thing he’s tried (we’ve tried EVERTHING for him).
Not to mention he must smell good when he goes to school……..I’m sure the girls love that! My youngest son (now 8) loves lavender. He suffers from anxiety (can you imagine….at 8?) so he has trouble sleeping. Sometimes at bedtime he asks for the “calming down oil” (otherwise known as lavender). I give him a couple drops in his palm and he rubs it on his stomach. When he gets a nervous stomach before school I give him either lavender or Acceptance to rub on his stomach. Seems to make a big difference.
I’ve also used peppermint and lemon for heartburn. I just put a drop or two in a glass of water or right in my mouth if I’m unable to get a water right away. Works great.
I’m totally hooked.~ Sharron Swihart
