Hello! I am Kathy Bond
and I have been using essential oils
for years to improve my health and to remove toxins from my home. I am a crafty
person and love making all kinds of things for myself, my family and friends. I wanted to share with you some of
my knowledge, recipes, thoughts and ideas on essential oils as they have a wonderful impact on my life!
I began my journey many years ago when I really knew very little about essential oils. I used to buy them at the grocery store, and other small shops not knowing there is a HUGE difference in the quality of oils. I read the labels and believed when it said 100% therapeutic grade essential oils that what I had in my hand was the highest of quality. Boy was I WRONG! But now I know better and so I do better! (hint: Google "Therapeutic grade")

When buying essential oils it is important to buy the
highest quality because most likely you will be placing them on your skin, and/or breathing them in your nose. I know I don't want to be bringing inferior oils into my home, when I am trying to be healthier!
How do you know you have the highest quality? Be sure to buy oils from a reputable distributor, or from someone you trust. Please don't do what I did and buy them at Sprouts, or Whole Foods and assume because you paid a fair amount they are of the highest quality. The FDA, nor any other government agency certifies essential oils. The oils you put on your skin are in your blood system within seconds! Oils can be smelled, diffused, or placed directly on your body - but we will get into that in detail later.
Please know that I am not a doctor, nor do I have any medical experience. What I share with you is just my opinion and not intended to be medical advice.
