I have had 3 sets of starter sets. One 10 years ago but was too scared to use them due to bad info back then and no support. Last year I bought 2 Beg sets and just 7 months later I think the aroma has dissipated out -before I had a chance to figure o it how to use them. I would love a new set as I finish up a master aromatherapy course so I can make fresh wonderful smelling products, not dull flat ones.

I have renewed my interest in EO's after many years in Therapeutic Massage Therapy. Currently I have several clients with LD. These children respond well to Essential Oils and I am eager to educate their families with hands on applications during the massage and bodywork session. To have a kit would be such a blessing to so many!
