Besides having a reliable source for essential oils, reliable information about the oils is an integral part of any aromatherapy work.  Answers to questions like "How does aromatherapy work?" and "What's the latest research on essential oils?", properties of the oils, and so forth are very important.

However, the question of how aromatherapy works is too broad to deal with adequately on this website.  In addition, the FDA severely restricts the information that can be presented here.  And so, basic background information is about the best we can do here.  For the nitty-gritty of essential oil use, you really need a few solid resources.  One of the best you can find is the Modern Essentials, published by Abundant Health's Aroma Tools Publishing.

The importance of water to aromatherapy and a nutritional program

• Is Your Water Poisoning You?
• The Reality of Water

One of the things I've found to be extremely important with the use of essential oils or dietary supplements is water.  Your body is largely water, and you need to renew its stores regulary to maintain proper hydration.  You've heard that for years, and it may seem hardly worth mentioning, but it really is critical to your health, and bears repeating.

• Water helps to carry nutrients to and into the cells of your body.
• Water carries wastes out of the cells and is critical to flushing toxins out of the body.

The problem here is: The water we drink creates its own problems for health.  There are two reports that shed some light on this.  Each person needs to determine their own needs here.
