My dear friend and mentor, Pamala, isn’t new around here. In fact, she's shared on my blog a couple of times, and ever since she brought essential oils into our hospital room the very day that my son was diagnosed with cancer, she's locked arms with us in our journey to help heal our son. One of the valuable lessons I learned from her early in Kicker's diagnosis was the importance of eliminating any food allergies so that his body could ...

When my family and I first started using essential oils, I had no idea that they did more than just help with symptoms from sickness. I had a basic knowledge of how they could support our immune system, but we mostly used them for headaches, tummy aches and the common cold.
