Tried them? Like them? Hoax?

I went to an essential oils party a couple of weeks ago and just got our first order. I've been using the lavendar on my feet before bed every night and it's the most restful sleep i've gotten in a long time.

Although I'm not 100% signing off on conventional meds, I highly like and recommend the use of essential oils. A has had a head cold the last few nights and I've been using a cold blend essential oil that has helped him stay less congested over night! (Also used lavendar in his humidifier).

Anyway - it's just starting to come up around here and wanted to know if HB'ers used them or heard of them?
