I have 6 or 7 I think, but can't remember all of them. I also like eucalyptus lavender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/essential-oils-1#post-1382176 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 15:52:09 +0000 MamaG 1382176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: Which do you use for cleaning?</p> <p>@looch: my spouse uses tea tree oil as a remedy for just about everything. I personally have never tried it. He would have used it on LO, if I would have let him too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/essential-oils-1#post-1382173 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 15:51:04 +0000 Boheme 1382173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered a starter kit for sleep and a disinfectant blend for cleaning. I need to get a diffuser as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/essential-oils-1#post-1382162 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 15:48:15 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1382162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use them in homemade cleaning solutions for their natural cleaning properties and to add fragrance, but I don't put much stock in their healing properties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/essential-oils-1#post-1382108 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 15:32:48 +0000 mrsjyw 1382108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: I've heard it works for babies. My friend used it on her babygirl in a diffuser in the nursery and she STTN 12 hours for the first time at 8.5 months :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/essential-oils-1#post-1382104 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 15:31:52 +0000 travelgirl1 1382104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: oooh I like the sound of the more sleep! I wonder if it would work on A too..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/essential-oils-1#post-1382029 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 15:09:34 +0000 looch 1382029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used lemon oil when I was in labor, my midwife suggested it when things were stalling. I honestly don't believe it did anything in that situation.</p> <p>Grapfruit is supposed to be energizing and tea tree is an antiseptic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/essential-oils-1#post-1381963 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 14:54:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1381963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to use them here and there. My mom is really into them, so she buys me a lot of them. </p> <p>She bought me a headache relief blend (it's like 5 different oil extracts) and amazingly enough it works incredibly well. </p> <p>She bought a calming child blend as well, and it is supposed to help babies/toddlers sleep well. </p> <p>I have a few more that I use here and there, especially when I'm sick and they are soothing! They smell really good too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/essential-oils-1#post-1381957 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 14:52:17 +0000 mrsjyw 1381957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: lemon is an energy booster, wakes you up, maleluca in combo with i belive oregano and lemon is called a "flu bomb" other mixes are also good for treating cuts/skin stuff. </p> <p>I mostly got into them for the R&amp;R and cold fighting aspects of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/essential-oils-1#post-1381952 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 14:50:49 +0000 MamaG 1381952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I like the sounds of better sleep. I'm also a light sleeper and have been waking for 2 hours in the middle of the night and struggling to fall back asleep. Really, 4 hours of sleep isn't enough (or at least that's what I keep telling myself).</p> <p>What do you use the other (non-lavender) oils for? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/essential-oils-1#post-1381926 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 14:43:19 +0000 mrsjyw 1381926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend who I get DoTerra oils through at wholesale prices.</p> <p>We have in our pile: Lavendar, Oregano, Lemon, Peppermint, OnGuard (a cold remedy mix), Maleluca, and another mix for my headaches/migraines.</p> <p>We need to get a diffuser ASAP. For the most part we've been using them directly via applying to our feet, temples, etc. and also breathing it in from our hands.</p> <p>I am a light, wakeful sleeper. The first night I used the lavendar on my feet I slept conked out for 10 hours straight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/essential-oils-1#post-1381763 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:47:35 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1381763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend who uses these all the time for her son. She buys a mix from her naturopath with lavender, eucalyptus, and a few others to help him sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/essential-oils-1#post-1381662 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:19:24 +0000 purrpletulips 1381662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have attended a couple of free information classes and read a little. I want to but haven't yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/essential-oils-1#post-1381512 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 12:49:35 +0000 MamaG 1381512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you use essential oils? Which do you most commonly use and how? </p> <p>Teach me, I'm interested in learning more! </p>
