Always use essences with extreme caution
Essential oils are powerful. Please use only pure essential oils. How can you tell if an oil is a pure essence? If you put a little on a blotter paper, it will dry with no stain. If you see a stain, then other oils have been added to save on cost. Many essential oils are very expensive. They can be as costly as $130 to $160 for less than 1/16th of an ounce! Organic oils will be even more expensive.
Essential oils may be mixed together to create a remedy. Some remedies are so delicious that people wear them as perfumes! If you attempt this yourself, be careful because when you mix one oil with another, you create another chemical altogether!
I prepare remedies for people to alleviate a variety of diseases and discomforts. Examples are: respiratory, asthma, flus and colds, rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis, acne, depression, and hundreds of others. Remedies costs $30 for a 2 month supply. If you wish me to prepare a remedy for you, please call me at 401-465-5438 or email me here.

HOW TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS:
Put two drops of essential oils on a light bulb before turning on the light
Put two drops on room fan blades
Put two drops in baking soda, sprinkle on the carpet, and later vacuum
Put two drops in a diffuser or on a handkerchief
Put two drops on a cotton ball and place near a radiator or heating vent
Put two drops in a saucer of water and leave out in the room
Put six drops in a bathtub of the warmest water you can stand and take a 20 minute bath. Oils will seep into your pores and what your body does not need, will leave through your pores
Put six drops into steaming water, place a towel over your head, and breathe in for 15 minutes (for respiratory problems)
Use only four (4) drops for children
Never use oils in the bath or steam method for more than five (5) days in a row. The rule is: five (5) days on and two (2) days off. I hope you understand how cautious you must be when using pure essential oils. They don't tell you this stuff on the bottle!
OILS WILL:
purify by removing the metallic particles and toxins out of the air
increase atmospheric oxygen as do plants
increase ozone and negative ions ~ which inhibit bacterial growth
in the house ~destroy odors from mold, cigarettes and pets
fill the air with a fresh aromatic scent.
