Let’s take another look at the essential oil, Cilantro. I’m not a big cilantro fan, as far as the herb goes, but I sure love this plant in oil form! The scent is one I could smell all day long… it’s fresh, cleansing, and awakening. When you inhale it in through your nose your entire…
Just as I thought, the post I wrote last week about our pure essential oils and positive emotions, was a hit. People emailed me to ask me to share the oils to use to help tackle negative emotions. A lot of people like that I will forward this information so they can get it for…
