**Please remember that Essential Oils are not to be used directly on the skin. Essential Oils need to be diluted either in water as in a bath or in a carrier oil used for massage. They are not to be taken internally! **

This is a very strong oil. It was traditionally used in China for embalming. The trees where the oil is extracted are grown in China and other subtropical countries. It has balancing qualities on emotions. This oil must be used in moderation. If used in the bath never use more than 1-2 drops. A little goes a long way!

I prefer to use this in the diffuser. I remember as a child my mother would put a piece of aluminum foil with cloves on it in the oven and they would burn and the whole house would smell so nice. This smells good in the diffuser if you like that smell especially around the holidays!

This is one of my personal favorite oils. I use this when I have colds and congestion in my head and body. This is used in my recipe for nasal congestion. It also works well if you boil a pan of water and put a few drops in the water. Put a towel over your head but do not get to close and burn your sinuses! Breathe lightly and let the oil permeate through your nasal passages. It really helps to open up the clogged head!

Of course, I have a special affection for lavender oil. It is my absolute favorite. It’s relaxing and peaceful qualities are wonderful! After a long and stressful day it is great to run a warm bath and add lavender oil and maybe some lavender bath salts and just relax and let the oil do it’s magic.

This oil is great in the diffuser. A great gift is the diffuser with tea lite, lemon oil 8 drops, clove oil 1 drop, thyme oil 2 drops, and tea tree oil 1 drop. This is great for freshening the air!

This oil is believed to relieve anxiety and lift the mood. It too smells good in the diffuser. I have read that it is also good for muscle cramps. Add a few drops to the bath and see what this oil can do for you.

This oil is great for a foot soak on those tired tootsies. Just add 3-4 drops of peppermint oil in a footbath and soak adding warm water as needed. You will feel the oil quickly absorbed through your feet and the relaxation of those tired muscles.

When I burn this in the diffuser it reminds me of the woods in winter with fireplaces burning. I love the scent of pine. It smells up the house really nice especially around the holidays. It is also good in the bath for nasal decongestion. I sell this in the basket with the recipe card for it’s use.

Rosemary oil is known for invigorating blood flow under the skin. If you feel tired and sluggish this may help as a pick-me-up. It smells nice in the diffuser as well.

This oil is very strong. Just 1-2 drops in the tub is all you need and you will feel this oil open up your entire body. If you are sensitive then just 1 drop is enough. Start with one to see how you react. It is known for it’s antiseptic properties and feels good when you have a head cold.

It seems that most oils help us when we are under the weather. This is no exception. Thyme in the bath helps to clear the respiratory tract and helps to calm that annoying cough we all have forever and ever. It also helps to put this oil in the diffuser and burn it in the room when you are not up to snuff.  It helps to clean the air.

This oil blends well with lavender in the bath. One drop of ylang- ylang oil and a few drops of lavender are invigorating to the body. This also works well in the diffuser. It is a more expensive oil and a little goes a long way.

I will be acquiring more essential oils as my site grows. These are the most common and useful in combinations. They are high quality and in their purest form from Europe.
