Meg was a psychotherapist at the time working with essential oils. Milli Austin had come to live with Nagy and Meg so she could finish her book, The Healing Bath . Milli asked Nagy who was an international trader at the time to acquire essential oils for her. The oils came in large quantities. They needed to be put into smaller bottles with dropper... s. Then a label and Gritman Essential Oils was born. The twenty oils that Milli wanted grew to more than 300 oils that Gritman carries today.
