familiar with and wishes to test different scents and effects. These essential
oil starter kits typically include an assortment of oils. For instance, you may

rosemary, bergamot, lavender, eucalyptus, basil, etc,. You may also find
starter kits with grape seed oils, soaps, bath bombs, refills, and so on.
Instructions are available with the starter kits to help you get the most out
of your aromatherapy/essential oil experience. Books are also available which

Starting
Essential Oil Kits
There are essential oils that make up the bases for fabulous combinations or “recipes” if you will, and create different milieus for varying purposes and/or gifts for distinct personalities.
In preparation of a gift-set the selection of the appropriately applicable and scented oils in small quantities would give joy to someone to whom essential oils maybe a new and revealing experience. A gift set for a friend suffering repeated head-aches should include oils that appease those specific pains.
Therefore the most important
factor for buying essential oils and/or preparing differing recipes is in the
knowledge of each one. The most practical way to learn about essential oils is
by having direct contact with them; descriptions may be quite different from
personal immediate experience and one maybe pleasantly surprised by one kind or
another that creates an unexpectedly pleasurable ambience. Be aware that “oils”
in essential oils do not necessarily mean “oily”. Your skin absorbs the these
oils immediately upon application.
