and balancing. Dill seeds were reportedly chewed by early Americans to suppress their appetites during church services.* Most essential oils work best when blended
with each other. The right combination will enhance the effects and power of the

Dill Testimonials
"I wanted to share this with all of you. Bergamot is one of the oils
recommended to help lower a fever. I have used it with good results. I apply it
to my feet and to my sternum and inhale what is left on my hands. I apply it
twice a day when I have a temperature. Bergamot in combination with clove oil
(taken internally) drops my temperature to normal in about half an hour."

"I started having problems with my skin at age 52, refused HRT as the doc
prescribed and have been under the care of a Naturopath since then. I felt there
was something else I could do to speed up the healing and found essential oils
the key.
Well, I am happy to say that I'm on top of my healing. I began by using a couple
of drops of Lavender on my face and particular attention to the infected areas.
Then dabbed Bergamot on the infected areas only. I have not had a bad reaction
to the skin.
I've been blending as a base and as my moisturizer Apricot oil, rose-hip &
calundra. I then add a few drops of Lavender and Bergamot." Denise
"In the fall of 2003 I was diagnosed with psoriasis. I had just turned 18 and
it was detrimental to my life! Having refused to use any steroid creams or
dermatologist prescriptions I decided to go at it naturally. A few months before
this I was introduced to essential oils. I started out using Lavender and the
Lavender shampoo's for my scalp. It only took a few weeks for the lesions on my
scalp to almost disappear. For my body I was using Bergamot, Melaleuca and
Lavender every night. Except for some light pink spots (as compared to raised
flaky red lesions) I am pretty much clear. This is why I decided to pursue the
business of sharing the oils with others." Richard
