The oils are from the earth and those who enjoy them for emotional balance may also love gardening. Getting your hands in the soil from where our fragrant, therapeutic plants grow is a wonderful way to extend your YL lifestyle outdoors. We love oils AND gardening for staying grounded. It's so cathartic to get out there and nurture our environment. It's one of our favorite places in which to meditate and get centered again, and yes, you can use oils on yourself and your plants and how wonderful to care for them naturally, especially if you're growing edibles like herbs, fruits and veggies!
