Just shootin' the sheeot here. Boyfriend came over with one of those mondo-bizzarro painful swollen, shiny zits between his eyebrows and was desperately trying to squeeze it and succeeding in grossing me out.
I grabbed him and slapped some pure lavender and bergamot oil on the spot and "annointed" him with a mock-blessing. I couldn't find my tea tree oil for the life of me, but he really enjoyed the scent of the lavender and bergamot and inhaled the scents and was very giddy with the lovely fragrance. He ran along home afterwards.
He calls me up an hour or two later and says "You killed my zit! It's almost gone now and it doesn't hurt anymore. You're a shaman or medicine woman or something...that's what I'm gonna call you from now on."
I LOVE ESSENTIAL OILS!
I do have a homework assignment from him though. He says that now I'm into this natural stuff, that I should ask you guys why Fluoride in toothpastes is so harmful. He's been saying for a while that it's horrid and that I should ask you guys how bad it is since I won't listen to him.
I've read some stuff, and basically I've come to the conclusion that a) I'm not a child and don't swallow my toothpaste b) I don't have canker sores, so fluoride doesn't bother me and c) I like that I've been cavity-free all my life and don't feel like marring my own personal toothy-record
So, okay wise ones. Enlighten me with all kinds of horror stories of fluoride.
And those of you who 'know' me by now, if you try to pull an urban myth on me, I will become very hostile. Just thought I'd point that out.
