Aromatherapy Glossary

print email

I’m picky about which oils I used for my intention kits. I know, finest oils, etc. But they really are. More importantly, I handpicked these oils to promote the intention they support.  I’ve even, of late changed out a few aromatherapy oils because I found stronger spiritual pulls with new ones. Okay I’m compulsive. Up constantly working… This glossary is to assist you in seeing another aspect of the Intention Candle you choose. And working your own “magic” with oils.
