Thanks for this great PodCast!! I’m fairly new to Essential Oils and am in the process of putting together a list of what to buy for my first purchase. This helped me tremendously, as most of what I had on my list is what you suggested…tells me I’m on the right track! Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!!
I love these podcasts!! Although I have used essential oils for many years, I many times feel like a beginner just because I have not “studied” the oils well. This is a fantastic way to educate myself even in my busy life 🙂 I would have to say that my favorite must have oil is, as you mentioned, lavender!! Thanks, Liz. I look forward to more……. Karen
Thanks for great podcast. I accidentally find it on Podbin, and really enjoyed. I have used essential oils for few years now, and i experimented with it a lot. But anyway, I find myself beginner in it, because i didn’t know many things about essential oils. This is a great opportunity to educate myself. Thanks again ❤️
Hi Dina! I’m SO happy you’re enjoying the podcast and, in particular, learning from it! Thank you so much for your kind words and keep on listening! Liz xo
