My husband introduced me to essential oils.  Before I met him, I didn’t know they existed.  I was bit skeptical at first.  Could they really be all that?  As I heard more about them from him and others and saw him using the oils for lots of different things, I started to reform my opinion of them.  I found out how powerful they are.  I am a teacher so my body is constantly battling germs.  Oregano quickly became my best friend for immune defense.  During allergy season, I use a blend of oils with fractionated coconut oil in a roller ball vile to help me keep the allergies at bay. 

Periodically, my husband will put a couple of drops of soothing oils like lavender on our pillows to help us relax after a busy day.  We diffuse oils in the house for various aromatherapy benefits.  We take some oils internally for various health benefits.  We use products like hand soap and toothpaste infused with oils for their germ fighting capabilities and facial cleanser with essential oils for its benefits for the skin.  

Essential oils have become an everyday part of my life, and I feel much better because of them.  I feel that I put fewer chemicals in and on my body, and that gives me greater peace of mind.
