Which oils would you recommend to have on hand for a first-aid/survival kit?

Just the ones you mentioned: lavender, oregano, and a mint?

Just the ones you mentioned: lavender, oregano, and a mint?<<<

I also use Rosemary,Orange,and Eucalyptus essential oils.

Rosemary has some who say to not use it with high blood pressure and others who say that is not true. It does wake one up.

Orange I use for cleaning, it is a lot cheaper to buy the pure essential oil, than the advertised cleaning compounds and it also kill germs, I always add a drop or two to my dishwater.

I like the smell of Spearmint, but if I am having real tummy troubles, I seem to want the Peppermint.

The mints, rosemary, lavender, eucalyptus are all good when one has a cold, to smell them or do as some do and make a tent for your head, over a small pot of hot water, with a good oil in it, breathe the fumes.

Dela Where, was doing the tent over water the other night with his oregano herbs and it helped his sinus.

It worked so well he repeated the treatment the next day or it could have been the bourbon that cured him...Laughing.

I would start with Oregano and Lavender and add as I could.

I think that over the years, I have seen more healing power in my herb concoctions than going to the doctor for the average complaint.

I know that when my daughter in law learned that she had cancer, a Freeper Medical Doctor suggested that I get a book and have her follow it, for herbs that fight cancer, he said that those who followed the normal medical cure and the herbal cures at the same time, had a 25% higher recovery rate, than the medical alone.

I cannot even guess at the name of the book, it has been 6 years.

Theresa did not do the herbal part of the treatment and she died 4 years ago.
