Emu Oil - (Emu Oil) Emu Oil is a deep penetrating oil that is known to draw into the skin anything that is used along with it.

Essential Oils - are liquid components of aromatic plants, trees and grasses. When inhaled, they trigger they Central Nervous System and when applied to the skin, they go through the capillaries and cell tissues. Essential oils help to balance emotions to some degree and are known for their stimulating and uplifting and relaxing properties. Many that we use are Certified organic, organic, wildcrafted or from naturally grown fields without the use of pesticides or other chemicals. We work closely with several farmers and distillers of most of our essential oils to make sure we get only the finest quality.
