Essential Oils

Essential oils have their place, but they aren't the cure for everything and they do a great job at taking care of everyday healthy living.
I use essential oils on a daily basis in one form or another. I make my own soap, shampoo and beard balms; all of these have essential oils in them to some degree and for various reasons.
Many oils can be used to get rid of the itch when you get Poison Ivy or mosquito bites, others help with rashes.
If something happens I usually go for an oil first, if it doesn't help then I will try to find something over the counter and then go to get a prescription last. Obviously each case is taken for what it is and sometimes good old western medicine is needed; nothing wrong with that.
Many of the western medicine solutions we use everyday were originally from oils and extracts, aspirin was originally willow bark extract.

This can only be true in the mind of a stubborn closed minded individual.
I would not wish neuropathy on anyone, and when my wife started using them I was 100% against them and only went along with her so I could justify getting another gun. One evening though my neuropathy was flaring up pretty bad but it was to late to take a pain pill. So my wife put a few drops of something on my foot and rubbed it in. Low and behold a couple of minutes later the nerve pains had decreased to a tolerable level. This was not a placebo effect. Short of a prescription pain killer that knocks me out, I have not found much of anything that gives ANY relief.
So explain to me how oils that have been used for hundreds of years to cure ailments, and are still being used today in MANY medications, is just a placebo effect?

I have no illusions that those little bottles of oil are gonna replace allegra and ibuprofen, but they do serve some purposes better than the **** pharm companies peddle....and on the whole, they aren't nearly the rip off that insurance funded pharm is.

He talked me into taking 2 drops of oregano oil on the tongue.
Don’t do that

Granted, if there were ever MLM where you could sell hunting and fishing gear, I’d probably be neck deep in it.Last edited by drbonner; 05-23-2018, 10:00 AM.
