There's been a lot of talk about essential oils these days so we talked with a friend that swears by oils to see what it's all about. Is it just a fad or can oils really heal naturally?

Kathleen let us in on how she went from an oil skeptic to oil's biggest believer and why knowing what you're putting in and on your body is your important.
