Guest guest Posted December 9, 1999 Report Share Posted December 9, 1999 Hi Everyone, Here are things that have worked for me on the various subjects being discussed: Insomnia--Aromatherapy doesn't work alone, I have to combine it with chinese herbs and a tea that I get from a multi-level marketing company that is made of chinese herbs, the most significant being jujube date. But the oil I use is clary sage--I found, like Eva it wasn't working anymore for me at a certain point. I stopped for a while, now I find I can use it again. I diffuse it into the room (just in a candle heated ceramic diffuser) 1/2 hour before bed. If I'm really bad, I put drops on it straight on my pillow and pajamas. I also add straight drops of valerian EO onto my pillow as well. When I wasn't using clary, I made a massage oil for my feet of roman chamomile, valerian and lavender. Did a foot rub, it worked pretty good (but clary is my favorite). Cold Sore--I put a straight drop of geranium right on it the time I had one. Worked for me. Colds--I find filling my sink with hot water with some tea tree and thyme and doing a " steam " with a towel over my head clears congestion. For sore throat, I gargle with one cup of water with 2 drops of sandalwood, 2 drops of lemon. Works wonderfully. Hope that helps. This is, of course, all said in my own humble opinion. I've been using the trial and error method for a while. Learning as I go along....Having fun all the way!!
