Essential oils seem to be a recent discovery, although they have been around for many years. It seems we have only now learned to recognize and appreciate their numerous benefits. Essential oils come from plants, and they have many micro and macro nutrients which nourish the body, reduce inflammation, lower stress, balance hormones and fighting aging. Essential oils have medicinal powders which can help you sleep better, feel better, and think with more clarity. A lot of effective drugs were derived from plants originally. Aspirin was made from willow bark, statin drugs are actually a synthetic type of red rice yeast, and antibiotics originally came from penicillin, a common bread mold. So it makes sense to use botanicals to treat all kind of illnesses, be it mental, emotional, or physical.
