Hi All,
This thread might have been its own Tribe or maybe it could have gone in Health and Healing, but it belongs here. I did some searches in each forum and this forum is the one people choose most frequently to talk about pure essential oils or EOs.
As you join this discussion thread, please read through these questions to see if any inspire you as topics for discussion.
Warmly,
Caitlin
*******************************************
TOPICS FOR DISCUSSIONS
* What was your most recent use of EOs, why, how, and in what form (mister, diffuser, bath time, massage, shampoo, plastic spray bottle for cleaning, etc.)?
* What EOs do you use most frequently with your children and how? What EOs did you use (or avoid) while pregnant?
* What EOs do you use for cleaning and how? Please share your recipes. What kind of containers you use? How do you label them? What is their shelf life?
* What is your favorite carrier oil and why? How do you use it?
* What is your favorite EO blend and why?
* What is your opinion of available commercial blends? (i.e. California Baby's "Resistance Builder," Aura Cacia's "Energize," Tiferet's "Moontime," Young Living's "Thieves") Do you have one you would recommend (for or against use)? Please share the web link for it, if you can.
* Have you ever misused an EO? Tell us about it. (i.e. Choose a poor carrier oil. Sprayed a mist somewhere you regretted it. Blended EOs that didn't go together.)
* What kind of diffuser do you use (room, car, jewelry, electric, candle, hot water on the stove,on a lightbulb, etc.)? What kind of diffuser do you recommend? Please share the web link for it, if you can.
* How do you store your EOs? How are they labeled? Do you date them? (i.e. I have some of mine on a shelf in the bathroom, behind the medicine cabinet for use in my children's baths. The others are in a labeled, plastic zip lock in the hall closet on a shelf with other medicines. The labels are the ones that they came with, mostly just the names, but the Aura Cacia brand has a word or two on use.)
* Among pure essential oils, which have the shortest and longest shelf life? Have you ever had any oils go bad? How did you know? What is the shelf life of your recipes (i.e. your cleaning spray)? How do you know when it is not longer effective?
* Have you over-used a favorite oil and gotten sick of it? (i.e. I used lavender EO during my first pregnancy to help reduce nausea and, four years later, I'm still sick of it.)
* Do you use Eucalyptus smithii (as opposed to E. globulus) and how?
* Have you used Thieves' blend (a.k.a. Grave Robber's blend) and how (i.e. on a bandana around your neck before you got on the airplane)?
* Have you ever used EOs in the context of a meeting, where you have passed around a vial and asked everyone to sniff? What did you use and how did it work out?
* What is your favorite recipe for EOs in a base of liquid Castile soap?
