Any one use essential oils?

If so what are your favorite oils? What are you favorite oils to pack for Disney.
I'm new to oils so I don't have a lot. However, I wish that I found the sooner.
Because of some health issues Clary Sage has been my favorite. Right now I'm using it to help me sleep. I put a drop under my tongue. I cannot stand the taste. However, it is helping me sleep better. I use doTERRA what oils do you use? I think that I have turned into an oil junkie.

I never leave home without my oil of oregano.

If I notice my kids getting the sniffles and a slight cough, I rub the oil on the soles of their feet before bedtime. It helps them sleep through the night without coughing and I find that the cough never gets a chance to develop into a nasty, in your chest kind of cough.

I use Young Living. My top oils are: lavender, gentle baby (blended oil) & ylang ylang.

There's a really interesting blog posts series on the big essential oil companies.

I use Eucalyptus, Geranium, Rosemary, Lavender, a orange oil of some type. I also like some of the more perfume type oils. Sandalwood, patouli, jasmine.

My friend uses Young Living for everything, and raves about it. A few years ago she got me this little bottle of something called "Thieves" and told me to swallow a few drops every time I felt I was starting to get a cold. I work with young kids who sneeze and cough on me all the time, so I figured I would give it a try. I swear, it works! I have not had a full blown cold in over 3 years!

I can't stand the tast of it, so I fill a teaspoon with sugar-free DaVinci syrup and put a few drops of Thieves on top of it. I try to literally throw it down my throat so I don't have to taste it, but it is worth it. My whole family uses it now and we have never been so healthy. Go figure.

Where do you buy essential oils and what exactly do you use them for?

Yes, I run a home business making lotion bars and lip balms and I use essential oils in them every day. Funny the original poster mentioned Clary Sage because it is the main scent in my original bar which is great for eczema.

Yes Oregano is a powerhouse oil! It was even recently discussed on dr oz
I put it in a capsule along with on guard( a blend) and it knocks anything out before it takes hold.

I put it on my kids feet too.

Here's a great reference site to see what you can do

I use Oil of Oregano any time I am the least bit sick as well, have not been "really" sick in years and years -can not get anyone else in the family to take it though -and well, they get sick.
Have never heard of putting it on the kids feet-how do you do that? Straight, or mixed with another oil, like almond? and how many drops? Great idea!

I am off to look up a few others mentioned here!

i use coconut oil for the carrier but you can use any oil. I do 1 or 2 drops with the 1-2 drops of the oil, and just rub it in.
I am also using it right now on my DS, he has a wart on his toe, and a plantar wart, both are nearly gone from applying Oregano and Frankincense mixed with coconut oil.

I have gotten my son off of singulair by given him capsules with lemon, lavender, and peppermint oils. If he is getting sick I also a blend called On Guard. Oregano is a wonderful antibiotic.

Same question....can I get a pm too?

I use essential oils for homemade soaps and lotions, but have never used them for medicinal purposes. I will have to do a little research and see if I can find something to help DS with his allergies. He has problems all summer long.

I just bought a starter kit. I'm hoping to help our seasonal allergies & cold prevention during the cold & flu season.

I'll still get my flu shot though.

I was just looking at essential oils today! Does anyone know of an oil or a combination that could be used to treat GERD??

Frank is my all time favorite oil. If I could only have one that would be it.
