Have you ever wondered what makes an orange smell like an ‘orange’ or why lavender smells SO amazing? Well, what you are smelling are the naturally occurring aromatic compounds of essential oils that God has given us. These aromatic compounds are naturally occurring in plants, flowers, stems, roots, and leaves. When you first open an essential oil bottle, you instantly notice the incredible aroma.
Essential oils have been used for centuries as part of natural wellness and are a part of God’s amazing gift to us. Dating back to Biblical times, people have used essential oils to support overall health & wellness. Did you know that the Bible mentions essential oils over 600 times?
I was first introduced to essential oils through a friend over ten years ago. My family was looking for a way to live a more natural, non-toxic lifestyle. When I became aware of all of the toxins we were putting in our body through the food we ate, the cleaning products we used, and the “beauty” products I was using EVERY.SINGLE.DAY, I was shocked. Through our wellness journey, I’ve learned that you must become an advocate for your health and understand exactly what you are putting into your body.
