CONTENTS

Do you want safer, cheaper, more effective natural solutions for you and your family? I have asked this question to thousands of smart moms across the country while educating them about the benefits of essential oils. Each and every time, I look out at these amazing, loving moms and know that they are ready to embark on their journey toward natural solutions. My sole purpose in creating this book is to empower you, the smart mom, and others around the world with natural solutions that will inspire you and your family to stop waiting around for a wellness solution and take the reins yourself. You can reclaim control over your health and wellness with simple yet powerful lifestyle changes supported by pure, potent, high-quality essential oils!

For years before I started to use essential oils, I leaned a lot on nutrition to keep me and my entire family healthy. Though I believe that nutrition is the foundation to a healthy and vibrant body, essential oils have transformed how we take care of our bodies physically, mentally, and emotionally on a daily basis. Essential oils have become as important as wholesome nutrition in my home and in the homes of millions of families across the world. They bridge the gaps between the foundational lifestyle habits of nutrition, exercise, reducing toxic load, and sleep, and often are the missing link to that hurdle youve been trying to jump.

My first experience with essential oils started with one of my favorites, wild orange. The moment I opened the bottle of this delightful citrus oil, it was love at first smell. The aroma jumped out of the bottle, right through my olfactory bulb and into my limbic brain. Immediately, I felt invigorated with joy and nostalgia for the oranges I ate in my youth. Wild orange quickly became my favorite Energizer Bunny to keep me going during long projects and late nights. I even frequently diffused wild orange and peppermint, one of my go-to pick-me-up blends, while working on this book. I desperately desire to give you the same experience with essential oils.

The moms that I know express true concerns about the effects over-the-counter remedies, cleaning products, and personal care items have on their children. Due to the bombardment of synthetic chemicals right under our noses, adults and children struggle to stay healthy throughout the year. Many of us do not even realize the side effects of the chemicals that show up in nearly every product in our homes. Our children are reacting to these chemicals through skin and gut sensitivities. Luckily, essential oils are revolutionizing the way smart moms and families manage their health. By utilizing the power of essential oils and natural ingredients, many of your everyday products and solutions can be easily and safely made at a significantly lower cost. This is a win-win for everyone!

Over the years, Ive learned that navigating the diverse benefits of essential oils can be quite daunting. One of the top concerns of smart moms is how to safely and effectively introduce essential oils into their homes without having to devote hours of study to the process. With over 3,000 identified varieties of aromatic compounds found in essential oils, it can be quite overwhelming for anyone, and the learning curve can be steep if you dont have the right resources in front of you to expedite the process. This guide is my gift to youthe research has been done and the recipes compiled. They are all right here at your fingertips. I truly believe that this book will help you effectively learn about and introduce essential oils to your home while teaching you at a reasonable pace. Before long, your whole house will have gone through an essential oils makeover and will be free of toxic chemicals. You will be amazed at the change youll see and feel in you and your familys health!
