New Blog Launch!
The Essense Apothecary
I've been using essential oil natural remedies for a couple of years now, and have found them to work as nothing else my health-nut family has ever tried.
I'm not any sort of expert, with only informal training, but I finally decided I wanted to write about them. There are plenty of technical sites out there--doing a fun-stuff blog about the topic would be more interesting anyway.
Excerpt from Stand Back! I'm going to try SCIENCE, the about page:
Curious about essential oils? Curious about SCIENCE?!
This blog exists to be a fun resource on using aromatherapy and the essential oils for increasing “quality of life”.
(Or, you know, Long life and happiness! Cheers! Just don’t read this as a medical prescription, I could be jailed.)
Let’s admit it, essential oils seem a little, well-witchy. Using the distilled essences of every day herbs and flowers, for healing and the promotion of world peace?
Some of us find the comparison amusing, but for those who are less enchanted with mixing up tinctures of jasmine and myrrh under the new moon for love potions, just for kicks, here’s a little note about the foundations in reality...
Not all essential oils are created equal (in fact, most you see in stores are polluted with petroleum-based carriers that offset the benefits of the actual essences) so I wrote up the brand we use, Young Living: What the Cabinet Has
Today's post on the main page is about
how French thieves used essential oils as perfume and fought off PLAGUE. Yes.
It's a great story. XD
