Welcome you are and I thank you ma'am for the kind words .. appreciated they

are. :-)

As for whether EO Candles (mine or anyone else's) will help with chronic

sinusitis is a toss up. What most folks call chronic sinus problems or

multiple sinus infections is in fact one sinus infection that has lingered

... sometimes for many years. Even if it is bacterial antibotics have a

difficult time killing it DEAD .. leave a few of the critters alive and they

will multiply quickly and here it comes again. If its viral then the best

we can hope for is to keep it from replicating and send it back into a

defilade mode .. where it will probably stay until our immune system becomes

weak again .. then it will come back for a visit.

I suffered chronic sinus problems for better than 10 years .. in the 80s and

early 90s .. before I got into essential oils this was. I would be treated

with antibiotics and such 2 or 3 times a year. But that is history. I

have not taken an over the counter medication (except aspirin and

antacids) or any prescription medications .. since 1995 .. and I no longer

have sinus problems. My opinion is that sniffing or diffusing any of the

Carvacrol rich Origanums is a better choice for what we call chronic sinus

problems. However .. the candles will smell nicer to most folks .. and

they can kick some other Big Bad Bug Butts that we are not aware of .. that

are lurking around the house in nooks and crannies. ;-)
