Welcome to Essential Oil Solutions.com! I’m Teresa Ivory and I’ve designed this blog to help you learn:
- more about essential oils, how and why they work
- techniques and tips for using essential oils
- ways to integrate essential oils seamlessly into your life
I first started using essential oils as perfume. Regular perfume triggered asthma attacks – bummer! In fact, any scent outside of citrus and even very chemically citrus caused the same reaction. I was always on a search for products to use that were either unscented or citrusy. I eventually tried essential oils looking for a room deodorizer – absolutely necessary if you’re working in a construction site office. (I loved my field guys, but they were WORKING!…not getting ready to take me out to dinner.)
The citrus scents always made me feel happy. I thought it was because I was so glad to have found something nice smelling that I could actually use. Unscented gets old for us girly girls!
Later I found out researchers had discovered that orange and lemon reduce depression. Guess what I had been using! You’re right. Both! I guess it’s a mood elevator even if you’re not “officially” depressed!
Over time I’ve learned ways to use essential oils for healing and flavoring food as well as making me and my environment fragrantly lovely! (Caution: Only the purest of essential oils can be taken internally. Make sure your oils are manufactured to AFNOR or ISO certification standards.)
Take a look around the blog and please come back and visit often. As it grows, it will become a fantastic resource for you and your family to learn and grow in ways to improve the quality of your life with essential oils.
Thanks for stopping by!
Teresa
