I might have to try this formula.


I have heard you mix the citrus and vinegar in a spray bottle and it keeps tick away. They say spray on your cloths and works very well. Anyone ever use it for ticks??

The essential oils I have are just concentrated pure oils distilled from the plant sources. I love the smell of cedar and pine and I buy both of those and dilute them with a neutral base and use them as air fresheners instead of the garbage chemicals you can buy in a can. I smell those pine needles or cedar and I go to my happy place. I cannot imagine that not helping my overall state if I was stuck in a hospital room.

I do like lavender and put a few drops of that in a bath now and then too! grin

If you need peppermint, lemon, or orange oils, just go to the supermarket and pay $1.99 for a small bottle of extract. It's not quite as pure, so you have to use a little more, but it's about 10% of the price on a concentration basis.

That's always been my issue with essential oils. It's not that the fundamental ingredients don't have a good use, it's that you pay top dollar for absolute purity, then the first thing you do in most cases is dilute it yourself.

Lavender and tea tree oil cause mammary growth in both women and men. I think normal men should avoid lavender and tea tree oil.

I work with a lady that is big into the essential oils. She uses them and sells them and thinks they are the best thing ever. She told me yesterday she had a sprained ankle and that if she was at home with a little oregano and some oil, 5 minutes of rest and she would be fine. She takes vinegar baths all the time and comes to work smelling of all kinds of oils. She says it's good for everything. Menapause, you name it. I think she's a wack job most days.

Yes, and that is important because there are some cheap Chinese and european CBD oils out there and they don't work! Or they perform poorly.

I buy directly from a licensed farmer who does his own CO2 processing so it is pure CBD.

If anybody wants it I can get it for you. A half oz bottle with dropper costs $35 (Less than what I charge for civet juice).

My wife is into it now, I don't see much harm. But if I'm in the hospital, just bring me a bottle of Lenon's muskrat lure or just muskrat glands. Or Cronk's musky musk. Even Milligan's cat man do would take me to my happy place, but probably would tick off the people in the next room.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.
