Why Learn About Essential Oils?

Learn about safety and correct therapeutic use!  Essential oils are more popular today than ever before.  Naturally, people love essential oils for their wonderful scents and the amazing experiences they have with them yet most essential oil users are unsure of how much essential oil to use and which oils are best for which situation. Unfortunately the misuse of oils can often lead to negative health effects.
