Healing with essential oils... make your own all-natural home remedies

Essential oil home remedies have been around for thousands of years.

In the 1300s, people used essential oils to ward off the Black Plague.
Many of the ancient remedies described in historical documents are similar to the aromatherapy recipes for healing we use today. Because they work!
How Do Aromatherapy Remedies Work?
Aromatherapy healing blends work by boosting the body's internal healing process.
Inhaling essential oils stimulates the olfactory nerves (sense of smell), which send signals to the brain's limbic system, which, in turn,
triggers an emotional, physiological, endocrine (hormone) and / or immune system response. Voila! You get the therapeutic effect!
