I first stumbled upon essential oils when I saw an ad for a company that said their product would take away cellulite. I thought, “Can a product really do that?” So I went to their site and started reading. They also had a product that they said would lessen the appearance of varicose veins—this also got my interest. I looked up the ingredients and it turned out that their products were blends of several different essential oils, which I had never really heard of before.
These products were quite expensive, but I wanted to try them. I started reading about the different essential oils they contained. As I read I was so intrigued, as if these oils do what they say, they are very powerful healing agents. I decided I wanted to see if these oils were all that I was reading said they are.
I made lists of the oils that were most mentioned on different sites that were good for cellulite and spider veins. I also read about how oils can fight against viruses, flues and colds. I listed the oils that are good for this too.
After a lot of searching and reading I decided on the list of oils I would order. On November 9, 2010 I made my first order of oils. I ordered:
Clove
Cinnamon
Cypress
Eucalyptus
Frankincense
Geranium
Grapefruit
Juniper
Lavender
Lemon
Patchouli
Peppermint
Rosemary
Tea tree
I was so excited when my oils arrived! It took me awhile to learn about making recipes, how to store my oils, how to set up when making recipes, etc. I want to share what I've learned in case it can be a help to you.
I have been telling friends and acquaintances about my discovery and have received so many questions that I thought to share about the oils here so I don't have to keep repeating myself. So here is my first baby step at sharing what I am learning...
