Are Essential Oils a costly affair ?

Cost per drop

I used to think essential oils are a costly, fanciful and just for nice aroma for rooms.  Whatever brand really does not matter since it is just to set up a nice aroma for the rooms.

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
  • creating a joyful and uplifting environment (Joy)
  • defending ourselves from airborne bacteria (Thieves, Lemon, Clove)
  • strengthening our immune system (Thieves, Lemon, Immupower)
  • Easing and speeding up the recovery from any muscle pains or strains (Lavender, Aroma Siez, Valor)
  • etc etc
My list is just some of the favourite oils I am using for now, this does not represent the the complete list of oils that I can use. In fact, our body changes and so does the need for different oils surfaced. Let us not stress ourselves over them but to enjoy every bit of goodness 😉 I am constantly looking forward to make new friends so we can continue to learn from each other. Cheers!
