Smelly Goodness

I have been using Young Living Essential Oils since the mid-90's. I love these oils. Pure essential oils contain chemical compounds that have an affect on diseases such as cancer, viruses, mold, bacteria and a host of applications. Here are some of the more common oils & applications:

Lavendar - I use this oil to heal sunburns or any type of burn.
Peppermint - Great for headaches and tummy aches, very cooling. It's lovely in a water bottle for drinking and for spritzing on hot summer days.
Peace & Calming - This is a delightful blend of citrus oils that has been my favorite for years.
RutaVaLa - a new oil blend including a new oil from Ecuador. This oil helps me sleep soundly through the night.
Aroma Siez - massage into sore muscles and the next day the aches and pains are greatly improved.

People who are not used to Essential Oils judge the oils by their smell. I pick an essential oil based on the chemical compounds and their uses. There are several oils that could be used for the same purpose, so if the first oil doesn't work, I move on. For example, there are several oils that could be used for skin rash or fungus. I would start with Lavendar - always great on skin - then move to spikenard, maybe the two together.
