Where can I buy essential oils inexpensivley?

**TAMA-TOE** · 01-30-2002, 05:02 PM

I know I can purchase them a WM but the selection is very small. Where do you purchase your essential oils? Have you found a source that is farely inexpensive with a wide variety?

Thanks, I have went into the city to look at Micheal's since this post and even they have a small selection, maybe 10-12?

I have some recipes for bubble bath, scented notecards, etc. that call for essential oils. Where can I find these? Some of this stuff would make great Christmas gifts.

Where do you think is the best place to buy essential oils?  I would like to buy some at the best possible price.  What is a good price for say lavendar?  I would like to try to make several gifts for the holidays, and I think I might could use some oils.  Can the oils be used in lotions?

I am really trying to learn a great deal more about essential oils for theraputic/medicinal uses. I use tea tree oil often and have used oil of oregano, peppermint oil and cinnamon oil some in the past. Does anyone here have any particular oils they like to use or any thoughts they would like to share?

My dd recently went for the raindrop therapy where specific oils are massaged into your spine and feet and I will be having this done in a couple weeks. This particular therapy is supposed to be helpful for people who have run down immune systems or have had trauma to their spines - that's us!

I'm going out of town tomorrow if all goes okay to visit a food co-op/natural food store and hope to pick up a few of these oils.

I found this article this morning. I actually didn't realize that people put them on their skin. I thought it all had to do with smelling them. I am very interested in this and will be checking out more on it. I don't think we have anyplace that does it here but maybe there is one store I can check out. Thanks for opening my mind to this Pat.

Thanks! This past weekend I purchased Lavendar and Neroli for peace, balance and calming and I purchased Peppermint and used it in my cleaning of the basement and the guest rooms. They smell wonderful. I'm hoping that the peppermint makes my home feel inviting. It's also supposed to discourage bugs from hanging around. Hope the ladybugs and spiders get the hint!

I've just started taking evening primrose. I have a problem with PMS and probably in the throes of perimenopause.

I notice a lot of receipes for homemade bath, soap and cleaning products mention essential oils. Where do you buy these at. I've looked at Wal Mart and didn't find any (Unless I was looking in the wrong place)

Thanks
