Learn how to use the ancient power of essential oils to make nontoxic dishwashing liquid, deodorant, toothpaste, insect repellent, and more.
Essential oils have been used in healing for thousands of years, in cultures from Greek to Persian, Roman to Assyrian, and vessels have even been found in Egyptian tombs. To this day, they offer speedy remedies that help us to heal just by removing a cap and breathing in. Used as household cleaners, they will help to rid your home of toxic chemicals. In your beauty and wellness practice, they can enliven your rituals with healing and fragrance.
In this book, holistic lifestyle and skincare guru Shiva Rose helps you harness the power of essential oils through easy, nontoxic recipes for daily home use (dishwashing liquid and a bleach alternative), beauty (toners and essential oil perfumes), and more.
