The sense of smell is so powerful. With quality essential oils, aromatherapy is an amazing addition to everyone’s natural health toolbelt.
Quality matters. Many essential oil brands on the market are adulterated and can contain harmful chemicals. These will not be listed on the ingredients list. Crazy, right?!? Make sure you are doing your research when buying oils. I use DoTerra (and that's what the links will be for,) but there are plenty of other brands you can use. Some I recommend are:
Mountain Rose Herbs
Plant Therapy
Heritage Essential Oils
Whether you are an essential oil connoisseur or just getting started with oils, this is my top 5 list.
