THERAPEUTIC GUIDE
Choosing an essential oil
Aromatherapy is a very individual type of therapy. The same essential oil can have a very different effect on different people. This is why it’s necessary to choose only the oil that you think is most pleasant among several oils with similar properties. Never use an oil if you think its scent is unpleasant.
