Essential oils
I read recently that a few drops of BASIL ASSENTIAL OIL massaged into skin over the adrenals helps aid adrenals, likewise a few drops of FRANKINSENSE ESSTIAL OIL applied to thyroid area aids thyroid function. Anyone tried this? don't think it could cause any harm and these two oils smell gorgeous.
