For centuries, people have used essential oils in religious ceremonies, to support wellness, and for cosmetics. These oils hold a special place in world history, so we thought we would take a look back at how far essential oils have come!

Looking forward to connecting with in the knowledge base of essential oils. Currently attempting to learn more of the wellness pathway, naturalist, aromatherapy, whole food, live energy, supplements, herbs, etc. community. We currently live near the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. My wife (Lynn) and I are retired. We are expecting our first grandson in March. We raised, train, board, and breed Chocolate Labrador English Retrievers. Our dogs live the same natural lifestyle that we do. We are interested in the essential oils for canine wellness.
Hi Doug, I have used young living oils for myself and my animals since 2006. They support our emotional and spiritual well being. Best to you and your family.
