Essential Oil Uses I Never Knew
For this Friday’s blog post I wanted to write about something a little different. I have always used essential oils in my home for many reasons, but there are so many uses that I never knew about. I found this amazing website www.draxe.com On this site they have multiple uses for almost any oil you can think of. When you have time you should read up on all of it, but today I wanted to share 4 of my favorites. I wanted to share with you the uses for them that I did not know about! I am not an expert on this topic by any means, but I have found that using oils in my life has personally helped me on many levels. I hope you enjoy learning about these as much as I did, and follow the link I put under each oil to take you to the site I found the information on. There is so much more information there!
