My regular blog is at Susan's Garden of Friendship The link is to the right. I have had that blog for 15 years! I know I will have to give it up someday, so I am glad I have this one.
I have been learning a lot about essential oils and my collection is building up. I am a consultant for Young Living Oils. but not really pushing it. I was able to make some deodorant for a friend that just found out she has breast cancer. She wants to fight it with a holistic approach. I asked her to check with her Dr to make sure it was ok.

For over 5000 years, man has been using oils, so it is not a new thing. But with the advent of "modern" medicine made in labs, many have not learned about home made remedies. My cousin and I were talking about how our grandmas and other older relatives would gives us herbal teas they made from their yard. How they made and used salves and oils to treat various elements. But what I think the most important aspect of all of it was the personal treatment you received. A lot of touch went in with that kind of care. Not "here's a pill, you will be ok soon" treatment. I wanted to share a picture, but I can't seem to upload anything. I have a whole section on essential oils at my website.
