The Beginners Book of Essential Oils.

August 31, 2015 By Karen Creel

I have been using essential oils in many of the skin care products I make for several years.  Essential oils provide healing properties that you do not get with fragrance oils.  Recently I reviewed the book  “Beginners Guide to Essential Oils” by Christine Dalziel.   Chris provides not only concise, easy to read information on a number of basic essential oils, but discusses dilution, use, and blending of oils.

Essential oils aren’t just for skin products,  however.   Chris provides instructions for making everything from food safe furniture polish to toothpaste.

Here is just a sample of the many recipes she provides in her book.

Reed Diffuser Blend

The wonderful smell of Frankincense and Myrrh reminds me of the Christmas Story when rare oils were brought to the Christ child.

Stuffy nose?  This blend will help clear your nose in no time flat!

No more worries about household products that may be harmful to pets or children.  Chris has developed this great furniture polish that is food safe and smells delicious!

Thanks

Note:  Please keep all essential oils out of the reach of children.  Read directions and use and dilute oils as instructed. Many essential oils are harmful if ingested, or used on the skin undiluted.

    I’ll have to check out this book! I love my Essential Oils and am always on the lookout for new recipes.
    I noticed your disclaimer at the bottom about being harmful if digested or used undiluted…definitely a good precaution if you are getting your oils from a drugstore or other unknown source. I wonder if you’re familiar with Young Living? Their Seed to Seal promise ensures they produce only the highest quality oils! While you should still keep them out of reach of children, many of their EOs can be ingested or used neat because of the purity! It’s definitely a source of peace of mind for me when using oils in my house. Just wanted to pass along a tip!
    Thanks, again, for sharing this book!

A Quick Note…

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age.  I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers.  Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch.  I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard.  My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden.  He had me help him  plant a garden in May before he died in August.  So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together.  I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
