So, what exactly are essential oils? Let’s sum it up. Essential oils are basically an extremely concentrated version of the natural oils found in various different flowers and plants. Ancient Egyptians were the first to use aromatic herbs and aromatherapy… (guess it’s in my blood). Fun Fact… I’m Egyptian! *Doo-doo-bada* OK. Back to the oils. So as you may have already known, aromatherapy is the most common use for essential oils. There are so many different oils that help with so many different things! Here are a few…
