9 TIPS FOR Getting Started With AROMATHERAPY

I remember when I first discovered aromatherapy in my early 20s. I was fascinated by peppermint essential oil and its ability to soothe headaches. I kept a bottle in my pocket at work, applying peppermint to my temples and even dropping one or two drops on my tongue throughout the day.

Looking back, I realize I should have done more research before diving into aromatherapy. I certainly wouldn’t have been ingesting it!
