    What do you mean by "use?" Essential oils are great for falling asleep or perking up.

    I guess you could use others, but the one's I consider essential in our house are virgin coconut oil (double duty), extra virgin olive oil (sautee), and peanut oil (frying).

    I know what you mean. I usually get Lavender and Eucalyptus. Lavender is great for a calming, relaxing bath and Eucalyptus opens up the sinuses if you're sick. Put a few drops in a bowl of boiling water then put a towel over your head and your head close to the bowl and breathe in. It kind of works but if it's REALLY bad I still end up using Mucinex anyway :laugh:

    I use peppermint & lavender to cope with migraines.... it doesn't make them go away, nor prevent them, but it does make me able to function.

    I use lots of different EOs: Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Cassia, Lavender, etc. What ails you, you can find an essential oil for just about anything.

    My favorite is lavender oil. I have used it for sunburns and minor cuts, bug repellent, and a good old fashion scent for the laundry or garbage can or whatever you want to freshen up. But what I like most is to put some on my pillow every night before I go to bed to help me sleep better.

    I like to buy mine from a small company named Nuleo where I live, but they do sell their lavender oil on amazon.com. It’s great stuff if you’re interested.
    Here is the link
