Flying with Essential Oils

I fly about once a month with my 'real' job and am so grateful that I am able to take my essential oils with me.

• To keep from picking up who knows what germs from the recirculated air in the plane, I dab a little Thieves under my nose as soon as I get on the plane. I have noticed that I don't seem to get any sore throats or colds anymore when I fly. I just 'feel' better too. I don't travel anywhere without a bottle of Thieves. At the first sign of a 'tickle' in my throat I take a drop and that is the end of it.
• I live in Orlando so there are usually lots of kids on the plane. If one of them is screaming or acting up, take and put a drop of 'Peace and Calming' on your hand, and touch the child's clothes close to the face. Guaranteed to calm them right down. I have heard rumors that some flight attendants keep a bottle handy.
• Be sure to take the bottles of Essential Oil out of your purse and put them into the 'regulation' size plastic bag before you go through security so that they don't confiscate them. The other option is to pack them in your bag if you plan on checking luggage.
• I always take a bottle of Peppermint in case of a stomach ache or headache. One of my team members started getting a sinus headache today and after just a few whifs of the Peppermint her headache was gone.

Thieves Cleaning Solution and Non-erasable markers

I had several people I work with at my house on Friday for an all day work retreat. One of the physicians accidentally wrote on a white board with non-erasable markers. He asked me if I had something he could try to get the marker off with so I handed him an unmarked spray bottle. One spray and it was obvious that the solution was taking the non-erasable marker off slick as a whistle. He asked me what the solution was and I told him it was Thieves essential oil. His comment was 'It figures'...I'm getting quite a reputation around the office for alternative therapies. I worked with this same physician's daughter and helped her with a non-allergic rhinitis (or so the diagnosis was) but that is another story.

Oregano and Mole Removal

View top news

I have had good luck using Oregano to get rid of some pesky moles. I rub a little on the mole two or three times a day. After a few days you can begin scraping or peeling the outer layers of the mole off. The only problem is that Oregano has a powerful aroma so you will want to use some of the other 'strong' oils such as pepperment as a perfume while you are using the oregano.

The key to success with any of the oils is to use therapeutic grade essential oils. These are oils in the purest form and therefore the most effective.

Has anyone had any luck using other oils for removing moles? I know people have tried others but don't know what kind of success they have had...
