I've only a limited knowledge about essential oils and their uses in healing. I've only ever used them in conjunction with a single client, for headaches and sinusitis.
Muse knows a bit more than me, and I hope she continues to blog more about this healing modality. Today she posted a quick reminder:
"There's a common misconception among casual and novice users of essential oils that more is more. This is just plain wrong.To help illustrate this point, consider that is takes over 4,400 pounds of roses to make 1 pound of rose otto. That's 275 pounds of roses per ounce, by weight. Imagine how many roses there are concentrated into a single drop."
Wow. Whoda thunk it?
Thanks for the link. :)
I still very much consider myself a beginner with essential oils, but I've been working with them for a few years now. Constantly learning, but I learned respect for the oils and safety first.
