Aromatherapy Basics
Using Essential Oils with Children
There are so many ways that children can benefit from essential oil use- relaxation, focus, emotional well-being, and bath time fun, to name a few. Essential oils are more than just fun and pleasing aromas, however; they are incredibly strong plant extractions, and the key to using them effectively with our little ones is learning how to use them safely.

Tamanu Oil for Skin Care: Benefits & Uses
What is Tamanu Oil? Tamanu oil is a skin care oil that is cold-pressed from the seeds of a tropical evergreen tree called tamanu nut tree, or Calophyllum inophyllum. The tamanu tree is native to certain regions of Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Islands, and the oil has been used by cultures in those regions for hundreds of years.

Why Are Some Essential Oils More Expensive?
Just like essential oils vary in aroma and application, they also vary in price, which can be confusing. Why is sweet orange essential oil only around $4.
Understanding the Basics of Dilution
What exactly is dilution and how do you know when you’re doing it correctly? When I began my journey with essential oils, I loved them for their aromas and I wanted to interact with them as much as possible. However, I didn’t know much about them so I often overused them in ways that could have been harmful.
Meet Lemon Eucalyptus
MEET THE FRESH AND CITRUSY, LEMON EUCALYPTUS. Popular as an ingredient in outdoor patio sprays and candles, lemon eucalyptus has a fresh, citrusy aroma, similar to that of citronella.
Three Essential Oil Self Care Practices
Self care is such an important practice that is often put aside when we need it most- when our lives show up as hectic, overwhelming or just too fast paced. Essential oils can be such useful allies during these times; they remind us to slow down, take a deep breath, and remember that our wellness is important too.
