home medicine cabinet In every home medicine cabinet, it is advisable to have a minimal set of essential oils. The oils listed below are relatively inexpensive. They act versatile and with a minimum of side effects. However, it would help if you remembered about the individual intolerance of certain substances. This is especially important when it comes to allergy sufferers, the elderly, pregnant women, and small children.
