Essential oils are popular because there are a variety of benefits that come from their antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Healing oils act as natural medicine without the side effects so often experienced with processed and synthetic medicines. They are also easy to use, versatile in their application, and are mainstream enough to be easy to purchase online, through direct sales representatives, and at the local drug store and department stores such as Walgreens and Walmart.
