Speaking of essential oil......I got my ginger oil from Amazon over the weekend. I had hubby bring it up to the mountains so I could try it on the way home. He was driving down the hill (and as usual, tried to get home as fast as possible!). I sniffed the ginger oil about 4 times and didn’t get car sick once! Seems to work as good as the ginger capsules. But the best part is that my cat that gets car sick only drooled a little at the end of the 23 miles of windy roads. I held the bottle about 6 inches from his nose, since I wasn’t sure if breathing it in would be bad for him. He sniffed the air, so I know he smelled that something different was there. Anyway, he did pretty good and I’m convinced it’s because of the ginger essential oil.

There you go, that is how easy it is to convert to the use of essential oils.
I have not used Ginger, will try it, for I get seasick, from the lack of oxygen and all the meds that I take and am getting tired of crackers and 7up for a diet.
I have had cats that wanted to smell it and that is what I did, hold the bottle a few inches away and let them determine how much they wanted.
Had one that I brought in and it was so hyper and scared that I used my lavender on me and clothes and then picked him up and he calmed right down and slept peacefully in my lap.
Another, had allergies and I shared the Lavender and Eucalyptus oils with her, she would smell for quite awhile and when she had enough, was happy and appeared to feel better.
Don’t put it on them, for they will lick it off and a little goes a long way.
Thanks for the report, I am so glad it worked.
They used to offer ginger candy at the oncologist office. I never needed it there but some of the patients were in such terrible shape... later the candy disappeared. I don’t know what happened to it.
