Great Introduction to Essential Oils!

We certainly enjoyed this course. It was engaging and informative and the instructor very knowledgeable. Not only did we learn many new things about essential oils and safety when working with them, but we also made products which was both a learning experience and a whole lot of fun! We are sold on the value of essential oils and their many purposes and now start our journey into learning more!
