[@davescheider8073]

If you think simply having the label of “organic” means the product is somehow better or more natural than others you are uninformed. Having worked in food manufacturing over 25 years I have seen the evolution of organic, kosher, halal, etc. evolve to have little resemblance to what the original intent was. In my opinion these terms mean almost nothing anymore due to lobbying and definition creep.

Lavender, mint, eucalyptus, and lemon are all my favorites. Lavender just calms me down. Mint is for when I want to stay awake. Eucalyptus is for when I'm tired. Lemon is for when I'm feeling good. :)

[@hasnaat8123]

Mint helps you to stay awake how?please explain it ll help me

[@kcat420]

@@hasnaat8123 Mint contains menthol, which binds to your cold receptors and increases their sensitivity. This causes the affected area to feel as if it is colder, which triggers a response from you body suggesting the possibility of danger. Because your body suspects danger, it prepares for fight or flight by releasing epinephrine (or adrenalin) and cortisol. These hormones increase alertness, dilate the blood vessels, and raise the heart rate. This is what causes you to feel awake. It's similar to pinching yourself or listening to loud music to stay up, because it basically just coerces your body into releasing hormones that keep you alert.

The most essential oil in my house will always be castor oil, for by taking regularly 1 tablespoon (15 ml) castor oil early in the morning on an empty stmach you will not only be able to excrete all the waste deposed in your bowels but all the toxins in your body (especially methymercury!) via the liver too, and for this one there will exist no dangers.

You didn’t say how do we know that an essential oil is organic... and not a result of chemical engineering? How can we fully trust?

I would have liked to know about scientific experiments and it’s publication on scientific magazines by mentioning dates of publication; I would liked to know about suppliers producing with a certificate of quality control (names and links pleaseI! Let’s be responsible!). I also would have appreciated if you had started your tutorial by explaining what is an oil and about all the different processes of making an oil... .

Kerry Kida you're not going to like my response but I'm going to tell you anyway ....i learned aromatherapy with a guy who in the 1970s went to France to study real perfume making with the experts. ... later he added the title aromatherapy to his business cards . .I got to smell what these real oils are like and the majority of the stuff in all those health food stores is synthetic and or inferior or water down with other oils . if you're really really serious your best bet is to get the money together or get student loans... it probably would cost a lot to go to the perfumery school in France. ... the only reason I say that is because even if you study with a so-called professional aromatherapist.. .. you don't know how much they do or do not really know . ....some of these people are crackpots and have never smelt all of the real oils ... . ..so some of them don't even know what it is that THEY don't know... if you understand what I'm saying. ...... just us too many people in America have never even had a real Pizza... they think going to Domino's, Papa John's ,Little Caesars , all those places have fake pizza ... .... they are loaded with chemicals, and preservatives and some even put high fructose corn syrup in the dough and the sauces. ... and don't even really use real cheese ...they use that stuff made from oil... cheese is a dairy product . .... the same applies the aromatherapy and essential oils Market. ... most people don't know what these real oils are supposed to smell like . ....so I'm telling you your best bet is to really learn it at the right place. .. go to France it'll change your life I'm sure once you smell a real Clary Sage or hundred-year-old rose oil or real kananga real Hyacinth you never forget what any of these smell like and right away you know when something doesn't smell right

Please be very careful with tea tree oil. I used to use it a lot for ringworm, athlete's foot, first aid, and for cleaning. I did so for many years with no issues, however all of a sudden I developed a very severe allergy to it. In other words, I became sensitized to it to the point that even a brief exposure to a tiny bit would result in huge water blisters, and a rash that would take over a month to clear. Perhaps if I had had some competent advice concerning its use, I would have only used it diluted and not ended up with the allergy. It was a very frightening experience.

Rosemary, clove, peppermint, tea tree, lemon, my favorites. I use clove oil for tooth ache and/or gum issues.

I read you should not be using rosemary essential oils around kids under 12.
