At the February 1, 2016, noon meeting of the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville, Rotarian Leigh McIntosh introduced the group to the merits of essential oils. She defined “essential oils” as “naturally occurring, volatile aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants.” With a history that goes as far back as the Bible and the Egyptians, essential oils were shown to have efficacious results in relieving stress, improving sleep, and relieving occasional aches and pains, among other things. Leigh explained what essential oils are, why we should explore nature’s solutions for our health instead of synthetic ones, and how the oils are effective. She, with her colleague Sue Helzerman, represent doTERRA, a leading industry in marketing essential oils.
