It’s funny that just now we are getting back to using medicine in its natural form (herbs).

What is it in your “little brown bottle” that helps you breathe?

What is it in your “little brown bottle” that helps you breathe?<<<

Lavender Essential Oil is my #1 used oil, it will calm your nerves when you are upset, or a drop on your pillow will have you sleeping like a baby.

I also sleep with and use Spearmint E. Oil for breathing.

Peppermint E. Oil for upset stomachs.

Oregano E. Oil for infections, sinus, or on skin.

Orange E. Oil for killing germs, a couple drops in the water type vacuum and in my dish water.

On the whole, I simply take the lid off the bottle and smell, that is all that is needed.

If you use the Oregano at the first sign of a sinus infection, you will not get one.

My first bottles were a gift for the soapmaking I was learning and one day I read that Lavender cured headaches and thought “I have that and will try it”.

It cured a super big headache and I rarely have one now, for the headaches, I will smell it several times and also rub a drop on my temples, the end of my nose and I think the drop on the back of the neck is what makes it go faster.

If you google for healing with lavender essential oil, you will find many other things that folks use it for.

I read it helped cranky babies and as a friend had said they had a new cranky grandchild, sent her the report, as I knew she would have it in her soapmaking supplies.

It worked....and is so simple, you rub a drop on your skin, under your blouse, then lay the babies head against your shoulder and in a few minutes the baby is relaxed and asleep.

DO NOT put any E.Oil on a babies skin or clothes for a couple years.

I wish that I had known this trick 60 years ago.

I look back and know that the grandmothers before WW2 all smelled of Lavender and it was used in all their clothing drawers, and rooms, I remember going to other kids homes and how the grandparents smelled. Good.
