Thankful for the Essential Oils

Hi Beth- You have motivated me to try some essential oils!!! Someone recommended one to me for my bronchitis/asthma but I forgot what it was. I'll have to do some research. I do love the scent of vanilla and coconut and lavender too!

Hello Beth, now I know more then before about oils.  Thanks for sharing your information with us here.

Frankincense and myrrh are my favorite scents, too. In fact, I use bath salts with that scent from Indigo Wild, and have been soaking in that for probably 7 years. I got some as a sample, and got a whiff of wrist after a bath and just loved it.

My daughter is a believer in essential oils. She says they relax her and relieve pain. Some of them smell so good. 

I don't go to sleep without Lavender being diffused in my bedroom. Which reminds me, I need to go pack my travel kit for the weekend. :)

I live by Onguard by dotera during the flu season.  And I clean with Thieves in my home as opposed to chemicals.

                                       Thank you, Beth. 

Good morning Beth Atalay,

I'm so glad that Kathy Streib picked your post for her series and "Ah-ha" moment for the week. One of my daughter-in-laws loves the essential oils and swears by them. Thank you for your post.

Hi, Beth. I have a lot of friends who do the same as you. I always love to go down the path of homeopathic rather than medical whenever possible. 

Where do you get frankincense?  My daughter has cystic fibrosis and I would love something that boosts her immune system or keeps her sinuses clear so she isn't dripping gunk down the back of her throat and coughing even more - any ideas? 

Beth, I don't use essential oils as I should. I do have a diffuser and have been using "Breathe" in it recently to counteract all the smoke in our air from the recent wildfires. You've motivated me to pay more attention.

Hello Beth - although I admit I am mostly unaware of this subject, I learned from your post as well as the comments here. Learning is good.

Beth

I am not fond of all the smells from air fresheners and such either.

I know a number of people who use essential oils often and highly recommend them. I learned a few things from you as I am in the dark about this sort of thing.

Beth, interesting post. I have never used them, in fact I not sure I know what they are! I think I do, but I would not wager anything on my knowledge. Sounds great, but it also sounds like a lot of trouble

I haven't used them, but have a friend that swears by them. If I ever needed some sort of medication on a regular basis, I would definitely look into whether a solution might include essential oils.

We are big fans as well because we are all about natural health remedies. My wife turned me on to them and we have found them helpful for everything from headaches to sinus relief to "focus and concentration."

Hi Beth Atalay - My grandma used to simmer orange peels on her space heater when I was little. Her kitchen always smelled so delicious and there was always a sense of calm. I will have to try your recipe. I have a feeling I will enjoy it! Thank you for sharing. Although Thanksgiving Day has come and gone, just know, I am thankful for you!

I have no experience with essential oils  but I do have a cousin who sells them. I will have to check it out.

I have a few bottles, but need to learn more about how to use them.

I am an essential oils user too and have a whole closet full of them. They have been an amazing addition to our toolbox for many reasons! -K
