 Essential oils have been around the ages for its special healing properties. Nowadays, it's the latest trend for those that want to live a greener life, or breaking your bank to pay for prescribed or over-the-counter medicine. It might also save you trip to go to the doctor. There are over 150 essential oils out there that comes from all over the world. It ranges from citrus fruits like lemon and Bergamot, flower petals like lavender and ylang ylang, tree bark and branches like spruce and pine, and herbs and spices like thyme and cinnamon. 

 Why should you trust me? Let me tell you my story. Last year, I've became intrigued on essential oils and contemplated on buying it. I never did.  Yoga home practice with meditation, naps, reading books, watching TV and bingeing on Netflix, talking a walk outside if the weather was favorable, and connecting to my online friends helped me get through the rough times and helped me out  a tiny bit. After a long stressful year, both emotionally and editorially, since I'm a writer who had dealt with stress from grueling revisions and also coming from home, the abated stresses returned this past April with a revenge. So I've decided to take the plunge to give essential oils a try to help me with my stress and anxiety for my self-care needs. When I've done my online research on the top essential oil brands, Rocky Mountain Oils ranked first on the list with glowing reviews on their website and also on Amazon. That's when I purchased my essential oil starter kit with these five oils: lavender, lemon, orange, rosemary, tea tree, and peppermint.

Essential oils are very versatile to use for your everyday needs, and for what ails you by inhaling it with a portable inhaler, diffusing it with a diffuser to release a pleasant mist in the air, or using it topically with your roller to go on your skin. Have a migraine headache or back pain? Dealing with stress, anxiety, and moodiness? Need a quick fix for your cold and seasonal allergies? Want a peaceful meditation for yoga or to fall asleep fast? Want smoother skin and healthier hair?  Is a bug bite driving you crazy or want to cover a scar or a bruise? Even at home, a DIY essential oil diffused blend can propel bugs away from your home, or give your kitchen a fresh clean feel when used as an multi-purpose cleaner or a dishwasher soap.  

Essential oils aren't regulated by the FDA. They shouldn't replace your traditional medicine routine. But you can use them as an temporary alternative until you speak to your doctor.  Aromatherapy helps with emotional healing for the body, mind, spirit, and soul to give you a natural well-being.

If you want to give essential oils a try, start out with the starter kit for your first purchase, and build your collection from there. Try a few oils at a time.
