I keep hearing great things about oils. I have not tried them myself yet
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.
Wow, I didn’t know all these oils could be so great for me. I’m going to look more into them.
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 love using EO! Peppermint and Tea Tree Oils are my absolute must haves!
I love lavender, peppermint and lemon. Lavender is so relaxing and calming and helps me fall asleep quickly.
