Oils...have you ever tried them? Essential oils, I mean. Nature is full of
them. I bet you have them in your house right now.
Don't think so?
Go to your kitchen and get a citrus fruit... any fruit will do, orange,
lemon, grapefruit...
I'll wait while you do that....
Got it? Ok. Now, break the skin slightly with your fingernail.
Squeeze the fruit just a bit and rub that spot with your finger. Put your fingers up to
your nose and inhale... smell that? That is the essential oil of the fruit!
Wanna do some more? This is fun! If you grow your own herbs in
your garden or kitchen windowsill, you can try basil or oregano, or just about anything
you have. Just bruise the leaves with your fingers and then sniff... Mmmmm...
