Essential oils

One of the things I love the most is using Essential oils.  I have been using them for about twenty years.  I started out experimenting with oils in the 1990's  when oils were not very prevelent.  The oil I used first was Lavender,  I liked it so much I used it for everything.   I had the saying "If you don't know what to use, use Lavender".
Then I got brave and bought a few more.  I have had an exciting adventure learning more about them and how to use them.   

I'm not sponsoring any company,  I feel like there are several good brands.  Do your own research and find what you like the best.  
I would like to share a recipe for a oil blend to relieve Stress.

Stress Relief

4 drops Lavender
4 drops Clary Sage
4 drops Vetiver
4 drops Citrus
2 drops Geranium
Put in roller bottle, fill with coconut oil, shake to mix well. Enjoy.

I hope this works for you,  I will be adding new oil blends alone with recipes for different items in future posts.
