Here’s some info about essential oils, why you choose them, and to let you know, that you should NOT use synthetics or “fragrance”, which can hide a long list of toxic chemicals.
Essential oils are concentrated liquids that contain the strong aroma compounds of various plants. They are typically extracted from the plant through distillation and give a highly fragrant scent if their pure form. They are taken from various parts of the plant, including flower petals, leaves, twigs, bark or skin of a fruit from the plant. The process of extraction can be a lengthy one and has to be done properly to maintain the integrity of the oil. While some cheaper or synthetic versions may be available, they do not have the same properties as the pure and natural essential oils.

“I’d like to draw attention to the concept of the “Butterfly Effect”. Developed by American meteorologist Edward Lorenz, the logic behind the Butterfly Effect states that even small, seemingly unimportant actions nevertheless have tremendous and powerful effects down the line.”
I found this quote in an article that a friend had posted on facebook. It also reminds me to inform you that EVERY purchase YOU make, is a vote. For example: If you don’t mind saving money by purchasing cheap lotion, shampoo, cleaners, etc. then the message you’re actually sending is that you want to save money by purchasing toxic products for your household.
