Happy Garden: Homemade Essential Oils

Citrus fruits are a key ingredient for these useful and easy-to-craft oils.

I have been working with essential oils for aromatherapy for many years. I love working with fresh-cut herbs, flowers and fruit to create something useful. Aromatherapy is not magic but chemistry, provided by our Maker in all living plants and trees. It has been used since ancient times to improve health, beauty and overall wellbeing.

In Exodus 30:23, God directed Moses to make holy anointing oil composed of flowering myrrh, cinnamon, calamus, cassia and olive oil, the use of which gave protection and treatment to all of those to whom it was administered.
