I can share a vast list of benefits of essential oils (E.O.s). Please note that before applying or diffusing E.O.s, I'll be glad to discuss a series of considerations with you. Still, once you run a checkmark list for safety to avoid problems such as allergic reactions and toxicity in pets and/or infants, the E.O.s are mostly safe and super beneficial.

You may recall that I wrote a guideline summary…
Within two weeks I had two patients that reported migraine as their chief complaint. For this reason, I decided to share some simple but good information with all of you. First, it’s important to try to identify the trigger. It could be some sort of environmental allergy, food allergy, lighting (including too much computer/phone screen), emotional, and the most I read, the most I find fascinating about the triggers.

According to Healthline, Humans have used aromatherapy for thousands of years.
