I have been reading articles about research concerning this oil and these diseases.

These oils can be added to Jojoba Oil or lotions and used on the skin, or the resin can be burned in charcoal.

NOSE SORES

Ocasionally, I get painful little sores in or on  my nose.  A bit of Lavender on the end of a Q Tip clears them up very quickly,  and it's so easy to get the exact spot that hurts.  As I have said before, Lavender is my first aide kit.  I use it for so many things!  It is mild enough to use "neat" in small doses.  It is anti-bacterial and anti-viral, fighting infection and inflamation the natural way!

Deoderant...

I do not like the idea of using a commercial product to plug up pores, nor do I care for the "natural" ones I've tried; including the stone or mineral ones.  Oddly, the stone one I used magnified the odor!  It was tested several times with the same results each time.  I have found that I like using Essential Oils under my arms best.  Mixed with some lotion or Jojoba Oil; Lavender,  Patchouly, Frankincense, Chamomile, and a variety of others do a great job!  Most EO's are naturally anti-bacterial, and it is the bacteria  causes odor.  To try it, just add 2 drops of your fav oil to  a dollop of Jojoba or other unscented  carrier and see if this works for you, 

PainAway testimonials

My friend Sherrie's elbow had been hurting from  overwork.  I suggested PainAway on the afflicted area a few times a day.  After only a week of using it, she found total relief.  I have my own report as well.  I injured my left knee some time ago.  It would swell and hurt off and on.  I began to apply PainAway 2 times a day and in a week or so it stopped hurting.  Now I use it  once a week or so... My blend contains Helicrysm, Black Pepper, Lavender, Rosemary, Birch, Clove, & Peppermint.   Always dilute!

BugsAway!

Essential Oils are a safe way to keep the bugs at bay.  I have blended a Spritz that contains a 5% solution of Cedar, Eucalyptus Citriodora, Lemongrass and Peppermint in distilled water.  I spray it on before going out in morning or evening.  Other  Oils that have insect repellent qualities are: Lavender,  Clove, Lemon,  Wild Tansy. 

SINUS PROBLEMS

SEVERAL FOLKS HAVE ASKED ABOUT  AN ESSENTIAL OIL FOR SINUS RELIEF.  A COUPLE  THAT HELP ARE  PEPPERMINT & EUCALYPTUS.  BE SURE TO DILUTE AND THEN APPLY TO SINUS AREA, AND ALSO BREATHE THEM DEEPLY. DO THIS EVERY 3-4 HOURS TIL YOU HAVE RELIEF. IT MAY TAKE A FEW DAYS OF REGULAR USE.  EATING HOT PEPPERS CAN CLEAR THEM TEMPORARILY AS WELL.  
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Essential Oils in Vaporizer

Most vaporizers have a receptical for adding liquids.  I use Eucalyptus, Cough & Congestion, Ravensara, or for kids; Eucalyptus Smithi.  This is a wonderful method of dispensing your EO's and getting the needed moisture in the air this winter.  It is best to add a little water to it.
