    I am guessing you are trying to sell DoTerra or something like that...

    I am with an oil company , not going to mention which one, not here to sale, just want an honest discussion about alternative health care vs western medicine. I have a chronic pain issue, and only a chiropractor and essential oils have helped. Not all oils are the same, and there are only 2 companies I would purchase from, I joined one of them to buy at wholesale.

    What 2 companies are those? I'm all about peppermint and lavender oils.

    Can you explain what you do with the oils? Do you rub them on your pain sites? do you make an infusion to drink? inhale them/vaporize them? I'm very curious about them. Also how do you know which one works for what?

    It is essential for me to keep some 5W20 in my truck. My body works fine without essential snake oil.

    I always have peppermint on hand in case of tummy upsets...couple drops rubbed around the naval works like a charm!

    Pain waxes and wanes like the moon which makes it ripe territory for charlatans to sell their snake oil remedies to uncritical thinkers.
