Often, I find that people are amazed at how one oil can be used for many different issues, and that they actually WORK! Whether it is for an emergency or a hangnail (which can be very painful!). TGEO's are a choice that will help aid in skin regeneration, disinfectant, stop bleeding, sooth burns, increase energy, get rid of headaches and slow motion sickness.
Every one should have the Essential Oils Desk Reference or Reference Guide for Essential Oils (having both is a better option) when referencing TGEO's. These books were specifically used to work with Young Living Essential Oils. Remember these recommendations are for young living essential oils, they are the only oils I recommend and they are THERAPEUTIC grade, meaning they can be taken internally and put neet (straight) on the skin.
A few oils you should have in your Summer or Winter First Aid Kit: are Peppermint, Pan-Away, Lavender, Thieves, Lemon, Purification, Frankincense, RC, Marjoram, Aroma Life, Deep Relief. Most of these oils can be found in the Everyday Living Kit.
