Pure essential oils like the ones young and living produces (not the trashy walmart brand) are thereputic in use. I gave my wife peppermint oil and digize (blend of essential oils) and it replaced prescription doctor pills and worked just as well for morning sickness. Oregano oil works in place of penicillin and is better. I use two drops of thieves oil in my mouth for my throat when it's sore. These essential oils have almost no side effects and works better then medicine and is cheaper. I have been able to avoid doctors! I use them on my kids and myself and wife. You do have to know some things to use essential oils safely but common sense reigns after you know the basics. No I'm not going to say this is not FDA approved, these products are intended to cure and prevent diseases (called freedom of speech 2nd amendment, take that FDA). If anyone is interested and want to avoid doctors let me know! It's safer healthier and cheaper.
@Justinmartyr Good advice but if your essential oils were pure you would never have been able to put it in your mouth unless you diluted it. I would not recommend anyone to use the oils without diluting unless you know the oils and their sources well enough. For example, Doterra and Young Living can be used without diluting, but mountain rose oils, Beeyoutiful brand oils, Now brand oils, and most other companies are not safe to use without diluting. I would dilute to 3% in other words 3 parts to a hundred. I have used cinnamon oil in an application that I ended up burning my mouth and face as it was not diluted enough. Teas and herbal supplements are not difficult but are less potent for those looking for something safer. And just in case you might want to question my credentials, I am not a doctor but have been a health advisor for friends, family, and essential oil advisor for my mom who was working to be a midwife.
@speakthetruth yes young and living recommends diluting most oils. Especially cinnamon or oregano which are very hot oils. I have a entire list by gary young of what oils to dilute and how much to dilute them.
