Top 3 Essential Oils To Invest In
If you're just getting started with oils or looking to simplify your collection, here are three main essential oils I would recommend that are cost effective while giving you the most "bang for your buck" offering you many great benefits inside their little bottles!

Lavandula angustifolia, Lavandula officinalis

Here are some of the other benefits it can produce:

What's The Difference?
Pure Essential Oils vs Synthetic Oils
"Why can't I just use an oil that smells good?" You ask?... Let's take a look!
There's a huge difference between pure natural essential oils and a synthetic oil or fragrance.
True essential oils are actual plant matter harvested from nature itself. Nature has a structure that cannot be duplicated in a factory. Oils that are man-made will always be artificial and will not contain
the beneficial properties that nature has to offer us.
Pure natural essential oils come from the life force of nature and offer an organic therapeutic value to us humans as we share this earth with all of nature.
Nothing is organic (coming directly from the earth) in an artificial scent or "essential oil". They simply are a man-made product that has tried it's best to copy the chemical constituents that make up a real pure natural oil from nature.
Yes, pure Essential Oils cost more however, a little goes a long way in reaping the benefits that come in even one little drop.
And remember.....You're worth it!
