If you think about how much you spend in a year on medicinal items, pharmaceuticals, toiletries, cleansers and disinfectants, insect sprays and repellents, you will realise that your initial outlay for essential oils is relatively modest by comparison.

I believe that it is empowering and comforting to know that you can deal with simple complaints, common ailments and first-aid situations promptly at home.

These oils are not intended to take the place of the advice of your GP, and you need to remember that even seemingly simple symptoms can mask serious complaints. If symptoms are severe or of long duration, the condition needs to be assessed professionally.

What essential oils can do is assist the body to heal itself. They can help you:

treat everyday ailments.
strengthen your immune system, organs and glands, to fight bacteria, fungi and viruses.
lower your stress levels.
tone, relax and strengthen your muscles.

Anyone with more serious complaints can also benefit from using essential oils. Where appropriate you can use them as an adjunct to the treatment you are receiving. Of course it is important to discuss this with your GP first.
