It was till I get to learn more and seeing good results on my family’s well-being that I changed my mind set. Given the vast usage of the oils, I must say every cent is worth it. Do you know that I only swipe my finger off the orifice of the reducer (dilute with carrier oil where applicable) when I apply on my children, this is barely 1/5 drop. I use 1-3 drops on adults depending on what are the oils called for. Diffusing 5-10 drops is also a regular thing at home for general well being. Do your maths, is it really as costly as what you think?
Essential oils are not miracle products and I am not saying we do not fall sick. I am simply sharing how the oils have helped in lifting the quality of our life. In fact, I am not a die-hard fan of essential oil, neither am I so hardworking to oil anyone daily unless there is a need for it. However, it is a fact they have saved me from MANY MANY miserable days from
- handling a fussy child (peace & calming is my favourite!)
- helping my children to enjoy faster recovery from flu/cough/phlegm (Thieves, RC, Eucalyptus, Purification)
- managing digestive issues (you should see how I used DiGize to ease my toddler from a diarrhoea!)
- coping with allergies and other skin related matter (Lavender, Purification, Melrose, Frankincense, lemon)
- coping with anxiety situation (Peace and Calming, Valor, Cedarwood)
- setting up a conclude environment for children that they can concentrate on their study
