Essential oils and I go way back.
They’ve soothed me since middle school.
Growing up in South Africa practices like aromatherapy, kinesiology, homeopathy, and other holistic modalities were commonplace due to a pervasive European influence.
I vividly remember my first encounter: at my childhood best friend's home, her mother had a massive kit of around forty oils from an English apothecary, stored near their enormous marble bathtub. That moment marked the beginning of my journey and that’s why they are the second installment in this series.
