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.
@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.
