MEDICINE CABINET MAKEOVER WITH ESSENTIAL OILS
It’s funny how having children changes the way you think. When I had a headache, I grabbed for a bottle. If I had a cold, I grabbed for more bottles. I treated symptoms my whole life without even realizing that there could be more to it.
Until I had children.
Next we decided to try essential oils. It took awhile, but we figured out how to replace most of what we used in our medicine cabinet.
