Welcome to Becoming Natural, the Go-to Podcast for Moms Who Want to Clean Up their Lifestyle & Get Control of their Health!
Today, we're tackling a fascinating topic: Why do essential oils work? Man made drugs have been around for roughly 85 years while essential oils have been used for thousands of years. Why have we become skeptical in their benefits? From the healing powers of lemon oil over fluid in my lungs to using Thieves to combat bleeding gums, these little bottles pack a punch. But what's actually happening when we inhale their scents or apply them to our skin? Is it chemistry, psychology, or both? In this episode, we’re breaking down the science behind essential oils, exploring how they interact with our bodies and minds, and how this skeptic became a believer.
