ZHealthInfo: Essential Oil Medicine Chest

[Guest guest]

As with all things, common sense is required here. Please do not

take an essential oil internally unless you are perfectly sure from

your own research that it is safe. Please also do your own research

as to whether it/they are safe for pregnant women or any other

health concerns you might have. I am just offering the first step

on a longer journey...
