What’s your poison - how to take the edge off with essential oils

Discovering the power of essential oils can be absolutely life changing and empowering.

It is all too easy to fall into the trap of reaching for a painkiller at the first onset of a headache, a jug of coffee to ward off tiredness or something sugary to bring comfort, however they tend to end up being one more thing to feel guilty and less than great about.

While it would be wrong to say that essential oil can cure everything, they can certainly make you feel astoundingly better in many situations and, most importantly make you feel like you have some power over your wellness rather than giving it away to something or something else.

Kept in the bathroom, beside the bed, at the desk or in the bag, a lot of people who try them tend to find one (or ten!!) they can’t live without.
