<<<<<<<<<<HELPFUL
INFO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Did you know that when you massage an essential
oil blend
on to your skin you might taste it 20
- 30 minutes later?
Your skin is the largest organ of your
body. Essential oil
molecules, being as small as they are,
can penetrate the
skin and send it's healing properties
to the area of the body
where the help is needed. Even a small
amount of essential
oil can be distributed throughout the
body in a few minutes!!
