Essential Oils

Here at Created to Heal, we use essential oils on a daily basis. We enjoy many different brands and would encourage you to research and find what works best for your family!

Since we are not doctors, simply a family who enjoys holistic living, we ourselves cannot make any drug claims pointing to a particular oil curing a disease. We can only give you information regarding the properties and usage of oils in reference to particular symptoms. However, the scientific research is limitless and there are many sources of information on the internet as well as in unbiased literature. Our desire is to educate people in the usage of essential oils and their amazing abilities that the Creator has given them. You will find links to such information at the bottom of this page.

Here we have referenced information from a wonderful book called Modern Essentials: A Contemporary Guide to the Therapeutic Use of Essential Oils Published and Distributed by Aroma Tools available here!
