Essential oils are something that I am wanting to learn more about. I have used them in a limited way for years. Tea Tree oil on cuts, bruises and burns, lavender oil to encourage sleep, eucalyptus oil for congestion, and some other blends for various issues. I mostly relied on others to guide me in using these oils and haven’t ventured very deeply into understanding them. I also didn’t have a lot of respect for how powerful they are until recently.
