My intent was not to discourage your use of essential oils, only to caution you on the long term use by ingestion. I have taken over 250 hours of certificate courses and have attended in-depth conferences on essential oils. I have over 76 oils in my possession so I do understand how effective they can be when used appropriately. But know they can also cause problems when not used appropriately. As with herbal medicine, it's always a good idea to take a break from it unless the herb is an adaptogen. Essential oils are much more powerful than the whole herb.

We use them daily in some form. I make my own body butter with a custom blend of essential oils for John's feet. I've used them on clients with great success. They may end up being the only thing that will combat these anti-biotic resistant infections effectively.
