Have any of you experimented with essential oils? If you have or still do what oils have you found to have some benefits? I am willing to try anything. Thank you

My niece really encouraged me to try them. She swears by them. I've never tried them though. They are a bit too expensive for only a possible outcome.

Hi there, I do use essential oils often.
Lavender can be used without a carrier oil, I use it for my ADHD daughter, putting a drop or two on her pillow and do the same for myself, also putting some on her feet, it is relaxing.
Peppermint can be used for muscle spasms, you can mix a couple of drops into a carrier oil and rub it on the affected area, just make sure that you wash your hands thoroughly afterwards, not nice touching your eyes.
Tea Tree can be used for wounds, I use it neat as well.
Hope this helps:-)

Thank you for the information. What do you use for a carrier oil

I actually wrote a blog about using essential oils: http://www.foodismymedicine.info/2016/06/the-essentials-of-oils.html
