If you like the blog please do share. First, let me share my experience.

After crossing the age where when I started making my own decisions and my parents standing by them, I was always told that do everything but don’t take stress, {do everything but} take care of health, {do everything but} take care of beauty. At first, I use to think that why my parents have to mention this every time I visit them, knowing that even I know that this is basic of living; eat, sleep, laugh & repeat, repeat and repeat.

I went home, called my mom. I was sad and heartbroken. However, I would like to share with all of you what she said something. She said, “our body is the temple of our soul, how we treat our body reflects how we are from within”. It was such a small thing but it hit me like a thousand tornado as I realized I am abusing my body.

That realization took me to a 15 days holiday trip to Kerala where I stayed at a therapeutic center and went through all types of Aromatherapy treatment they can offer and I could see the difference in me both internally and externally. But the problem was the same, I had to come back and again have to follow the routine of long working hours, pollution, work stress, lack of sleep, cosmetics and much more. I did not want to get back after having such a divine experience.

So, I asked my hotel manager to help me. He, another gentle soul, arranged a meeting with the therapeutic center doctor and she suggested me to use “Essential oils”. She said, if you use essential oil, you don’t need any doctor for anything. Of course, I was not going to do that since I was raised learning that for every problem, visit doctor, but that nagging thought that I should at least give it a try, what worse can happen? Only that I’ll end up losing some money, ended me buying my first set of essential oil (Rose, Sandalwood, lemon, Neroli , and Tea tree). And after using them for the last 3 years, I decided to share it with you all.
