Did you know that oils have multiple properties?
Yes, they are “heterogenetic“. This means that they can have mulitlpe properties. Calming and grounding for instance.
Last note: Because oils are made of hundreds of different constituents, and environmental conditions are constantly changing, no two batches of oils are exactly the same. That is why it is extremely difficult to synthetically make them or re-create them in a laboratory environment.
