    Lavender oil would be my favorite and yes I have wanted to try them but they just are to pricy for me at the moment. I think the oils would be great to try out.

    I am a newbie when it comes to essential oil. With the exception of Eucalyptus oil, I don’t think I have used any of the others. I have heard of them but never used them. I personally want to try the lemon oil on the counter top.

    I love my essential oils – be careful with the Peppermint though. If you have any kind of heart condition it can cause some issues – I am unable to use that one and have to use Wintergreen in its place.

    I have been using essential oils for years. Peppermint oil smells amazing and it keeps the spiders and ants away. When i have a cold i use my Eucalyptus oil with a bit of Peppermint oil to help myself breathe.

    I could use the lime oil during the day to help with work and my many distractions. Wonder if there is an oil that helps with memory or alertness specifically?
