I had never heard of them. Or at least if I did, I didn&#8217;t pay much attention. Some ladies were discussion mold issues in their home and one was recommending a blend of oils referred to as Thieves Essential Oil Blend as a way to attack. I was intrigued to say the least. We have an older home and mildew seemed to be wreaking havoc on our basement at the time. So I did a little research and decided to give them a try. I was hooked. And I still am. I use some type of oil in some way almost daily now and am convinced that they&#8217;re effective for a lot of things.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Cleaning. I add them to my homemade cleaner for extra boost and antibacterial power.<\/li>\n<li>Health. This isn&#8217;t health advice &#8211; just telling you how I use them. I use Peppermint oil to lessen the pain of a headache, to clear sinus congestion, for fresh breath, as a help for heartburn and other tummy issues, as perfume!<\/li>\n<li>Nice smells. Diffusing essential oils makes my house smell great!<\/li>\n<li>In cooking. I admit I don&#8217;t do this as much just because I kind of forget to, but a little of certain essential oils (similar to what&#8217;s in your spice cabinet) goes a LONG way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Fill in the form below to find out more about buying and using the essential oils that I prefer and get a detailed usage guide. There are a LOT of good (yes most are good companies even if some reps like to bash the other companies) EO companies out there but this one has been around for a long, long, time and from everything I&#8217;ve experienced, they&#8217;re top notch so I just stick with them and have no plans to switch, even though I am surrounded with a whole lot of people who try to tell me I should for whatever reason. And yes, it&#8217;s Young Living. I like Do Terra too, believe it or not. I&#8217;m just happy where I am.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AWeber Web Form Generator 3.0.1 --><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#af-form-2058956436 .af-body .af-textWrap{width:98%;display:block;float:none;}<br
