I don't use them in place of medicine ever, but I do feel like they help us. I use lavender, lemon and peppermint to help with allergies. When kids are stuffy I use a small amount of peppermint and eucalyptus. I have some others that I like. My stepmom got me into them a while ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/essential-oils-3#post-2244096 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:23:19 +0000 lamariniere 2244096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wondering about this. We were traveling in France 2 weeks ago and I had a cold coming on, so I went to the pharmacy to get something for the symptoms. The pharmacist gave me some essential oils gel capsules to take. I was really really skeptical, but I don't know the different cold remedy products there, so I went for it. I stopped taking them after 2-3 days because I felt like I wasn't getting better, but I also wasn't getting worse. My DH caught the same cold and didn't take anything and his symptoms were much worse than mine and he was sick longer. So who knows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/essential-oils-3#post-2244057 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 13:55:08 +0000 mediagirl 2244057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you used essential oils for your health? What did you use and did it help at all? </p>
