Whether you are brand new to essential oils or have been around the block with them, there is something here for everyone. If you are new, here’s the lowdown: essential oils are simply compounds extracted from plants through distillation or cold pressing to savor the flavor or scent! They tend to be controversial with some arguing their use as alternative medicine and others against it. Leaving that topic for another day, no one can argue that they smell lovely and can be used for TONS of great projects around the house, in your kitchen, or in your bathroom!
Essential oils are meant to be used through a topical application (to pressure points, usually with a carrier oil), aromatically (diffusers, etc.), and certain types can be ingested (check the brand though, most can’t!). With that in mind; if you are putting together you’re full moon ritual, or removing negativity from your home, don’t forget to utilize some of these great recipes below!
