Not saying the above is not true .. might well be .. but its the first

time I have heard of this .. and I would appreciate any credible

reference to support the claim that an externally applied oil could

possibly have any effect on diabetes.

 

I'm prepared to change my mind when faced with facts. :-)

I would not use ANY Essential Oil on broken skin .. or neat .. except

maybe in an emergency where there was no possibility of other treatment

at the time .. like an accident in the woods where one knew they had

been exposed to all kinds of bacterial critters.
