An Introduction to Essential Oils with Finding Balance (Review + Giveaway)

Chances are, you've heard about essential oils more than once in the past several years. But how can essential oils help you and your family? They have gained a lot of popularity in recent years, being recognized for their natural properties that can aid in health maintenance, prevention, and treatment. Essential oils come from plant sources that have been used medicinally and therapeutically for their properties for thousands of years, and were forgotten due to the prominence of chemically-manufactured drugs. These naturally sourced oils provide us with a way to concentrate and benefit from the natural properties developed by various plants for their own immune defense, pollinator attraction, damaged tissue healing, and other metabolic purposes within the plant. I've heard people raving about their success with essential oils, and I just had to experience it myself to find out what all the fuss was about!

There are a lot of companies that offer essential oils, but there is one that promises something above and beyond. Their entire range of products is Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG), something different than any of their competitors. Which is why this brand guarantees a consistent, safe standard of quality in every bottle. Their CPTG process ensures that each bottle meets the highest quality standards for both purity and potency. The best-selling essential oils include Breathe (a respiratory blend), Lavender, Peppermint, Lemon, their soothing blend, Wild Orange, and their metabolic blend.

I jumped at the opportunity to partner up with Finding Balance. You can ask any questions and order the best essential oils available directly from Amber Nordstrom of Finding Balance, an independence wellness advocate and essential oils expert. It's been an amazing, educational process talking to Amber and hearing all about how essential oils can be used to enhance the health of our families, and learning just a few of their uses that were relevant to my family. Although essentials oils are, by no means, a replacement for modern medicine, they can be a practical alternative medicine that act as a supplement in your life. In "An Introduction to Modern Essentials: Fifth Edition" booklet, you can look up various conditions and treatments, discovering hundreds of practical and even surprising uses for certified pure, therapeutic grade essential oils. Treatment ranging from postpartum depression, to acne, poison ivy, hair loss, and even carpet stains... These are just a few examples of topics addressed in this amazing booklet!

I received the Introductory Kit (lavender, lemon, and peppermint), as well as the Wild Orange, Deep Blue, and a mood matrix essential oils for review. All of which are safe for application topically except directly in the eyes, up the nose, or in the ears. Due to the wide range of uses for essential oils of this quality, I have already been able to use the essential oils in my household for many purposes. My mother has been able to use the lavender and peppermint aromatically to combat stress, and I've used the same two topically to soothe pregnancy aches and pains, while my husband has benefited from the topical use of the Deep Blue essential oil when he's experiencing sore muscles. The products we have used have allowed us to feel better than ever! One of the things I have realized I love about essential oils from using them, is how versatile they are. I've used them in our humidifer, topically, and I've used several types to add to my tea or drinking water for an extra boost. You can find a way to incorporate the use of essential oils into your daily routine, however it suits you!

There are over a hundred amazing essential oils available, all offering their own benefits. Let's take a look at the benefits to the oils I've used:

Soothing blend - Supports healthy circulation and soothes achy joints and sore muscles.

Lavender - Calming and relaxing qualities, eases muscle tension, helps skin recover quickly, and soothes occasional skin irritations. 

Lemon - Aids in digestion, naturally cleansing, promotes a positive mood and cognitive ability, has antioxidant benefits that help ward off free radicals, soothes throat irritation, cleanses and purifies the air and surfaces, and supports healthy respiratory function.

Peppermint - Alleviates occasional stomach discomfort, makes a great addition to a toothpaste or chewing gum recipe for oral health, and promotes clear breathing and overall healthy respiratory functioning.

Wild Orange - Uplifting to the mind and body, high in antioxidants, powerful cleanser and purifying agent, and protects against seasonal and environmental threats.
