When you think of summer what comes to mind? Outdoor activities, sunshine, or you dad throwing his back out because he is trying to keep up with his kids? Well, that is what comes to my mind. This summer, I think my dad might be going through a mid-life crisis. He wants to be young again (but then again, who doesn’t?). He doesn’t want to admit that because of his age he is slower than he used to be. In a few weeks, I am going home to visit for my youngest sister’s high school graduation…and I plan on bringing my pops home something that just might help him in his “forever young” endeavors–essential oils. This way, when he strains a muscle, pulls something he never knew existed, or just can’t seem to forget the age of his body, he can use balsam fir essential oil and douglas fir essential oil to relieve some of the muscle soreness.
