My woman is a big user of essential oils. She firmly believes they help with her fibromyalgia. She has mixed some up for me at various times, lets say you have to be a believer. If she thinks they help her, thsts all thst matters. same here. I'd complain about the cost; but I buy fox pee, so....

I like to take a multi-pronged approach to pain reduction such as reducing inflammatory foods such as wheat and other grains in my diet. I wouldn't rely on essential oils by themselves and then say they don't work. I love essential oils. Some organic insecticides are made with essential oils without a carrier oil.

I use them. Citrus and lavender oils. Mix with warm water and a bit of dish soap and use a spray bottle. Once a week hit the walls around my bunk at fish camp and no worries about spiders crawling across my face in the middle of the night. Smells good too. I might have to try this formula.

There is something to be said about placebo effect. I think though if any certain odor make a person more comfortable or relaxed. Why then would that not be considered relieving pain? My last hospital stay I was offered aroma therapy thing for the room. Don't care for the lavender and I couldn't get them to pop a sac on a skunk for me.

I use a fair amount for various things.
The peppermint seems to work fairly well to discourage mice.
I also use about a half dozen others as an ingredient in my beeswax hand lotions. I don't know if it's the beeswax or oils, but, they sure seem to work well to heal up chapped hands. The wife also uses the stuff and claims it eases the pain in her "trigger finger".
Whether a cure or not, I like the aroma, and will continue to use it.

the wife was just looking into Essential oils and defusers and such.
then she got to all these warnings about how they are bad for pets.
Well we unfortunately have to many cats and if the essential oils could promise to reduce cat lives to say 5 years I would be on board but my wife and daughters would not and that just sounds like a vet bill I don't want to pay.
however I would not want my dogs to get caught in the crossfire and they already don't live long enough my German Shepard is already geriatric you know the end is near when the Vet starts preparing you for the inevitable , never spent so much time in a vet appointment ever before but when your GSD is about to go beyond the age chart.
anyway , there were other warnings like if you have birds in the house do not use an essential oil defuser , Wait , we send a canary into a mine to tell us if the air will kill us , and if we use this stuff the air will kill the canary , but be cause deadly air smells good it is good for us.
I don't doubt some of these oils have good properties , I like orange and cloves in my home made soap , a little of this or that may be good but putting the stuff in the air I wonder about.
remember when there were doctor recommended/preferred cigarettes
but for now I am going to stick to a Pot of soup on the stove aroma therapy .

Mac I think for some people a smell can be calming , could pleasant music do the same for the right person it could. if you can calm down blood pressure goes down , sleep increases and sleep is what we really need our bodies know how to do so much for healing while we sleep. and if your calm your less irritable and less likely to be short with the nurses. maybe some day they will be able to make a hospital room that feels like the woods on a crisp October morning where the air is cool but the sun is warm with a gentle breeze the sounds of the woods coming alive at dawn.

CBD oil is really helping my wife with insomnia. Has worked for her sister too.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Lavender can help you sleep. And the peppermint will get rid of a headache.

You Da Man Jarl !!! : ) Tons of spiders in that cabin and I HATE spiders. Just leave an old dead fish across the cabin to entertain them at night. What I hate is when a vole runs across my sleeping bag at night. They are so noisy !!
