I've been using the same essential oils for about 5-6 years now (clove, myrrh, peppermint, tea tree, lavender & lemon) and up until a couple of years ago, I started expanding my collection.
*research different brands.
*consume only food grade.
*make sure it's 100% pure essential oil if your not looking for a blend.
***consult with your doctor(s)***
****listed below are just a few ways I/you can use these essential oils****
