What to Buy

Upon entering the realm of Essential Oils (EOs), I was little prepared for the drama that apparently rivals my high school youth group during prom season.

Now, I have minimal experience and no financial incentive whatsoever to say the following.

Before I really was paying attention to the type of EO, I bought some from a local store here. They were essential oils, but it was only recently that I started to look into the use of EO internally that I realized those oils were not for internal use. I still use them in various other things like cleaning supplies, household things.

That realization led me to look at the options for EOs that are safe for internal use. I looked at several of the major brands out there that the blogs I mentioned yesterday highlight. Due to cost I ended up focusing on Spark Naturals. To begin with I ordered their Essential Kit with Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, and Melaleuca.  I also added a 5ml of Eucalyptus in as that is an ingredient in many of the headache and cold options out there. Due to a special Spark Naturals had, I received an extra 5ml bottle of Lemon.  In addition I signed up for the oil of the month special. It struck me as a good deal and a great way to build a collection of oils. The first one I received was Lavender.

The great thing with Spark Naturals is they do have frequent specials where you get an extra bottle of something or they give some of those bloggers I mentioned yesterday a code to share for a 10% discount.  If I hear of those, I'll pass them along.
