This past March I went to Florida for a Bachelorette weekend getaway. I ended up enjoying the beach so much that I had a terrible sunburn on my lower legs and feet. My wonderful cousin, April, was there and told me that I needed to put Lavender oil on the places I had a sunburn. I think I gave her a strange look. The other girls also gave a strange look. I had heard of essential oils before, I had actually used them at random times (tea tree spray to disinfect my yoga mat, and in my shampoo for dandruff). But to think this oil was going to get rid of my sunburn, and on top of that stop it from hurting like heck? That was insane. BUT, I had forgotten my lidocaine aloe gel (seriously that stuff is a life saver). So I decided to lather my feet and calves with Lavender essential oil. I went to bed and to my surprise when I woke up, my sunburn was by far much less red and it didn't hurt! I guess you could say that I was sold at that moment. When I got back to Worcester I wanted to continue using oils and find other uses for them. Mainly I wanted to find something that would help my chronic migraines. That same great cousin sent me a little care package with a few of the must needed oils. So then I started to research on my own, I knew about the big brands like Young Living and Doterra, but with a tight budget I decided to continue looking. After countless hours glued to my computer I stumbled across Edens Garden. They are not a wholesale so their prices are lower. Now I didn't want to settle for cheaper oils and get crappy oils as a trade off. I really looked into this company. I found some websites where real consumers (like you and I) compared EG, YL, and Doterra. The biggest find was that some of the YL and Doterra oils were stronger than the EG oils. BUT, all in all they found that the oils were very comparable in quality. I was able to do my own comparison and compared the EG and YL lavender and peppermint. I did like the YL better in terms of smelling strength, they were also a little thicker which made using them much cleaner. The EG oils weren't bad though, in fact I thought they were up there with the YL oils. Being on a budget I decided to try a small sample of the EG oils. I ordered a package that had oils I chose, from synergy blends to single oils. I have since purchased more oils from EG and have been very pleased.
They help me with my headaches, cramps, nausea, uplifting my mood, easing my anxiety, and they make my house smell amazing when I diffuse them! I'm excited to continue learning about oils and finding new uses for them in my life. Stay tuned to my Essential Oil experience!
