Essential Oils

In choosing a source for our essential oils we engaged in considerable research. There are many essential oil companies, and some briefly tempted us with the very low prices of their products, but in the end we chose two sources for their quality quality. Whereas inexpensive essential oils may turn rancid over time, high-quality oils, when stored in a cool, dark place, should last for years, thus offering long-term economy.

Most of the oils come in 1/2 oz. sizes. Others come in 1/5 oz. The more expensive oils are available by special order only. They are grouped according to these categories.

All of the oils are 100% undiluted botanical oils from wild or organic habitats, and made by the purest possible methods. In our experience it isn't necessary to use more than a few drops of each oil, and with the more expensive oils, such as jasmine and rose, one drop is sufficient, and may be even further diluted with a carrier oil such as canola or jojoba.

You will receive a free information sheet about essential oils with your order.

You will find a selection of oil burners and diffusers at the end of this page.

Please see Coming to Our Senses for more information, and Recipes for Wellness for some favorite combinations you can mix.

On Choosing Essential Oils

You can choose essential oils either from the list below, from our section on chakras, or from the Emotional First Aid Kit. If you refer to either of these two documents you may want to return here to read more detailed descriptions of the essential oils which interest you.

In choosing an oil based on attributions described here, you might, for instance, have want to deal with the recent loss of someone dear to you. In scanning the list you'll see that Bergamot and Cypress relate to this issue.

You may also want to intuitively choose a fragrance which has pleasant memories for you, such as Cinnamon, Peppermint, or Lavender. As in every choice, we are always in favor of those based on intuition.

We LOVE the oils! They are fantastic and I truly feel that they have made a difference in my life!
