It the bamboo wicks that are the issue. I know a family here in Atlanta that had bought two expensive candles, burned them for 2 hours in the master bedroom and are still, 6 weeks later, dealing with nightmarish damage from the candles:$20,000 in damages thus far, and they still aren't finished repairing the house. The candles in just 2 hours coated all the ceilings, clothing, carpets and walls, not just in the master bedroom, but also every hallway, bedroom, closet, and bathroom upstairs. Clothes and carpet - all destroyed. Every wall and ceiling had to be restored and repainted. The shelving in every closet also had to be replaced. PLEASE DO NOT BUY CANDLES WITH BAMBOO WICKS!!!

I tried clove oil at first, and that did help a little. However, it still didn't seem to go away, and it hurt, it was also turning purple so I was worried. I then tried a mixture of essentials oils: clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary oils together. I just wet the tip of my finger with the oil and rubbed it right on the abscess. Be careful with this stuff, it's very strong and it burns if you get it on your lips or face. It stung a little, but nothing too bad at all. I rubbed it on a few times within an hour and then looked at the abscess again. I was really amazed at how fast it worked. Within a half hour, the purple was gone, it was back to pink, and the abscess started to ooze yellow stuff. It shrunk very quickly and it is healing fast, almost back to normal. I highly recommend trying this.

I used eucalyptus oil, another time tea tree oil, and now am using lavender essential oil. No pain, and it seemed to kill it instantly. It was going away before it ever really started! Just a dab, straight on it, not diluted.

Dab a drop directly on the area and a few minutes later the itchiness is gone. It gets rid of the swelling also." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/essential-oils.html&name=DEEP-WOUNDS_42804 /Remedies/essential-oils.rss5 Thu, 03 Jun 10 09:29:32 -0500 [YEA] Regulator555 from Grand Rapids, Mi, Usa writes: "In my house, essential oils are a must for their medicinal uses. The staple two are tea tree and lavender. Best healing tale: My husband caught his finger in the band saw at his work. As you can imagine, his finger was a mangled mass of meat. There was nothing to stitch together. Gross. Anyway, he applied a drop of tea tree and a drop of lavender, neat, to the wound twice daily and kept it clean, dry, and bandaged. He would air it out a bit once a day for a few minutes. It never became infected - never. It healed well with virtually no scarring." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/essential-oils.html&name=RESOURCES_42807 /Remedies/essential-oils.rss6 Thu, 03 Jun 10 09:33:24 -0500 Regulator555 from Grand Rapids, Mi, Usa writes: "For those interested in the medicinal capabilities of essential oils, check out a book by Valerie Ann Worwood called "The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy." They go beyond smelling nice. Also, never use EO's straight on the skin. Two exceptions are tea tree and lavender. Not all EO's are created equal, so do your homework before buying." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/essential-oils.html&name=TC_42366 /Remedies/essential-oils.rss7 Thu, 20 May 10 17:15:50 -0500 Rob from Manhattan, New York writes: "a recent Greek study showing that Essential oils, especially Thyme & Cinnamon are effective against MRSA bacteria... http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/184025.php " http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/essential-oils.html&name=ROSEMARY-OIL_42254 /Remedies/essential-oils.rss8 Mon, 17 May 10 17:40:35 -0500 [YEA] Pat from Athens, Al, Usa writes: "I just wondered if anyone has tried rosemary oil for any types of cures? I've tried it for headaches and some sinus problems in the past and have had some good success. It is also good for the scalp and is found in some shampoos. I did a search on this site and didn't find anything. I was wondering about other essential oils as well. All I've ever seen mentioned is tea tree oil and wild oregano oil. Thought it might be a good topic. Just wondering." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/essential-oils.html&name=ROSEOIL_37213 /Remedies/essential-oils.rss9 Sat, 09 Jan 10 20:20:43 -0600 [BETTER BUT NOT CURED] Lorica from New Albany, Indiana writes: "Aroma Therapy & Depression I am on Citalopram 20 mg. a day. I exercise and eat mostly organic & avoid sugar & other no nos. Also, I take tons of supplements like magnesium & fish oil. Still, the depression has not all gone away. I heard that rose oil was an antidote for depression & decided to try it. All I did was put 1 or 2 tiny drops of rose absolut (the real stuff) on my upper lip, well massaged in, under my nostrils at my "droop time" at night. About an hour later I would also do a bit more aroma therapy by burning just one stick of good incense (not the kind that is made from cow dung, really healthy kind, any "flavor".) I waited an hour for the incense because I wanted my olfactory sense to get the full benefit of the rose oil by itself. (I also rubbed the left over bit on my finger onto my wrists.) The effect has been wonderful. Boy does it put me in a happy, even joyful mood. And this lasts about 24 hours! Also, I noticed it was helping me with attention deficit order, definitely. Well, at first I could find no one else saying that it helped A.D.D. But since then, I have found on the net that yes, people say it helps with A.D.H.D. (A.D.D. is sometimes lumped into that category.) per empirical studies. Now A.D.D. & depression go together commonly. No way I believe this was placebo effect. I didn't dream it would help with A.D.D. for example. Rose absolut is pricey. However, I get it at a major discount vitamin site that sells everything for about 40% off. It could last me several months at the rate I'm using it, personally.

I had a really bad headache and a friend of mine said here rub this on it. I rubbed it on the spot and my headache went away immediately. Just be warned that it can irritate your eyes so do not put to much. Just smear some on your finger and rub it in." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/essential-oils.html&name=TO_36357 /Remedies/essential-oils.rss11 Sun, 20 Dec 09 21:55:52 -0600 Whispergently from Timmins, Ontario Canada writes: "My Christmas Gift 2009 Thieves Oil Almond, wheat Germ, Grape Seed extract and Jojoba oil can be used as carrier oils. The best which has a longer shelf life would be the Jojoba oil, all others would last approximately 6mths. My first batch was made with Almond oil which is the one that I prefer it has a watery substance as opposed to the wheat germ. The longest shelf life would be the jojoba which is approximately 2yrs, I was planning on giving mine all away so didn't think I needed something that lasted too long. We have to bear in mind that there are people who are allergic to peanuts so caution must be taken and given. Now I must stress that you not change the recipe by a tsp or tbsp or add any other oil you might think would work. You will need 1 cup of carrier oil such as Almond, wheat germ, seed extract or jojoba. 1 tablespoon of Clove Bud oil Make sure its bud oil and not simply the clove. 1 tablespoon of Lemon Oil 2 teaspoon of Rosemary Oil 2 teaspoon of Eucalyptus Oil I read somewhere on a blog where a doctor was recommending this to his patients but his patients thought he was a fool to ask them to go out and purchase all these ingredients more the fool to them they don't know what they are missing, this is the BEST CURE of all that I've ever encountered, I've made 2 batches of this oil and given it out without charge, given it out as a gift of health to all the good feelings, rewards, the thanks, the hugs I've received for giving this oil was worth a million dollars. It's time we give instead of being greedy all the time. These essential oils may create an unfriendly environment for bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. This proprietary blend was university tested and found to kill over 99% of bacteria it comes into contact with and to be highly effective in supporting the Immune System and Good Health. The Chinese say that our feet is like our second heart, in our feet we have receptors or veins that lead to almost every organ in our body. Knowing this I always apply the oil to the sole of my feet where the arch is, I only add two little drops of this oil to both my feet and within minutes I feel the effects of it. Approximate cost will be in the 50-75 dollars but it will be the best use of your money, you'll be buying yourself the best remedy of all times and you'll have enough to share with your friends and family, a tbsp (15ml) is going for $42.00 USD this information I got from the last site I visited. This is outrageous for people to be making money off of our health. For myself It has helped with arthritis, heel spurs although I work in an environment where I could easily catch the virus or flu (Pharmacy) I can honestly say that I've been blessed with good health, this oil and also knowing the importance of taking Vitamin D3, I've not been ill once this year Thank God. Merry Christmas and Good Health for the coming year.

(I awoke calm & relaxed, unusual, forgetting that I had it on)I purchased it at a local health store. Question: Since the product is too expensive, I was wondering if anyone has any home recipes or methods for applying essential oils to skin. The oils in this patch were Bergamot, Ginger, Lavender and a carrier. A patch seems more effective then just rubbing it on. EC, perhaps an essential oil section? thanks! "
