I picked up Essential Oils: Ancient Medicine on a trip to Indiana in an Amish Community on a whim. And honestly it has changed my life.

I’ve made a shampoo, hair oil and natural remedies using the recipes in it that actually WORK.

This past week I was home sick in bed for 3 days, and I used a recipe in the book for cold, which worked wonderfully. For the first time, I never had to resort to going to the doctor for antibiotics, or even taking over the counter meds like Ibuprofen/Dayquil/etc. My immune system has always been somewhat on the weaker side.

I’ll be posting more on what I’ve created so far and the modifications I’ve made.

The book focuses on using what God has provided on earth as medicine. It’s biblically based and includes a recipe for anointing oil too! It first explains why essential oils are important. Then it goes through a list of popular/useful oil, the history of them, and relevance and usefulness for today. Then they dive into common ailments and suggest recipes and supplements. Finally it has food recipes to wrap it all up.

More to come on this topic & this book. But I definitely recommend it.
