Essential Oils are trending and popular right now and the directions suggest applying it topically, mixing with oils, lotions, gels, shampoos, body wash or adding to a diffuser for its aromatic qualities, but I still had a few additional questions regarding the Arbonne Essential Oils I have:
“What are the benefits? And why use them?”
I decided to share what I found, because you may have the same questions as I did. Each oil below is linked to an article with more detailed information for further reading.

Many of these oils have been used for hundreds to thousands of years medicinally, but are not currently FDA approved in the USA. Because topical treatments are absorbed into your bloodstream in less than a minute, it is important to discuss potential interactions with your health care provider regarding any other medications you are taking before trying natural solutions.
