Annie's father is a Pharmacist and owned an old-fashioned Drug Store for over 40 years. Through the years, she watched him do his own compounding of different lotions, salves, and solutions.

How To Recognize an Essential Oil?
A selection of essential oils is now available from health food shops, chemists and by mail order. When you are buying them, be careful to choose essential oils, not perfumed oils. Although these may well smell delicious they are not benefecial for aromatherapy.An essential oil is:
- Thin and watery rather than oily.
- Swift to evaporate and it wont leave a greasemark on paper.
- Overpoweringly scented when neat, which can be quite unpleasant.
- TOP NOTES : These oils evaporate very quickly. They are generally uplifting and stimulating, with a greenish, fresh aroma.
- MIDDLE NOTES : These are used to help with most bodily functions and the body;s metabolism.
- BASE NOTES : These are extremely relaxing, sometimes sedative and generally have a lovely, warm aroma.
