Both our families and we ourselves have been through so much. Essential oils not only help us deal with the emotional side of recovery, they also help us deal with the physical health problems that can crop up due to the strain and pressure of living in abuse.

We don't just struggle with emotions in the recovery process. Many women and their children struggle with sleep, pain, tension, digestive issues, skin issues, and more. Essential oils work for day-to-day health issues just as well as emotional support.

What are essential oils? Essential oils are the essence of a plant, a gift from the earth, distilled and prepared for you to bring the power of nature into your home.

Inside many plants—hidden in roots, seeds, flowers, bark—are concentrated, highly potent chemical compounds. These natural compounds are essential oils.

Essential oils give a plant its scent, protect it from hazardous environmental conditions, and even assist it with pollination, among other important functions and benefits.
