Inner Scents essential oil line is the result of my exploration in finding the best oils for my healing work, and custom creations for my clients.  There are many fine lines of oils out there (and I will be happy to refer you to them as well), but I am picky, or as I like to say an oil snob.  I planned on buying other peoples lines, but I soon found that my preferences went beyond what most lines carried.  I really had no intention of creating my own line of oils, it just kinda – happened.  I only wanted to have the best quality I could find to make blends for my family, friends and clients, that worked.

 

There are many varieties of the same oil – but they are not all the same.  For example, Lavender is grown all over the world, from the Highlands of France, England, Turkey, Bulgaria, California, and even in North Dakota!  In order to know what therapeutic actions and aroma the plant will produce you must pay attention to where it is grown, and also the specific botanical information of the plant. There are often many species of the same type of plant, and each variety has its own unique personality, active chemical groups, therapeutic actions, aroma, etc.  This is why it is important to look at the Latin name of the plant, and know as much about it as possible. 

 

I eventually learned by much trial and error, countless hours of comparing and studying, and lot’s of conversations – which oils were the best, and who to buy them from, and who not to buy from.  We are always learning – but at this point I am confident in my choices. And, I think you will be too.

 

I strongly promote the use of essential oils as a natural herbal therapy for anyone to use for common everyday health/emotional issues. But I don’t believe they are the one and only solution – by any means. I also think it is important, to use respect the power of plant medicine. Oils are simple to use, but they are also strong and highly concentrated, more is not always better.  Too much of a good thing can bring imbalance to your body too. Using oils straight with no dilution, using oils daily and  in high volume, or internally without the knowledge base to do so intelligently, is not a good approach to better health.
