I have long been a fan of essential oils. Got such a collection after a few years that I ended up getting a case for them. Incredibly potent stuff, but you HAVE to know what you are doing. DoTerra sells a small, wire-bound handbook that details best, second best and third best alternatives and whether it is aroma, contact or ingestion.
