Essential Oils

The use of essential oils originated in ancient societies.  Certain oils indicated wealth and some were used as protection from evil spirits. They were used nutritionally and medicinally as well as aromatically in the home.  Others were used for cooking and cleaning.  Herbs and essential oils were, for many years, the only medicines available to ancient man.  Over time, modern drugs replaced herbs and oils in our homes and healthcare.  Recently, research into the properties of essential oils is rediscovering their healthful effects and therapeutic qualities.

I discovered essential oils during massage school.  Lavander became my oil of choice during my early years as an LMT because of its wonderful aroma and broad health benefits.  I began studying the properties of various oils from Young Living Essential Oils and adding them to my sessions.  I have my client choose the oil that resonates best with them on that day.  

I have since discovered the Young Living line of personal care products, nutritional supplements and various household aides.  I began using the Kidscent Lotion, Bath Gel, Shampoo and TenderTush to relieve my sons' allergies and excema.  I have found that using Young Living products has greatly reduced the amount of caustic chemicals in my home.  I use the oils regularly for first aide and illness and they are a staple in our home and lives. 

I am an Independent Distributor of Young Living products and provide consultation on use of oils.  Products and information regarding oils and related products can be viewed online at http://bonnierichter.younglivingworld.com.
