Samantha & Karen: EO's

[Guest guest]

Samantha and Karen,

 

Hello~

 

First, Samantha I am so touched by your posting. You and your

husband are wonderful parents for seeking natural remedies to help

promote good health in your children. You are very special.

 

I, too, want to know more about using oils as room refreshners. And

I want to know where to locate an electrical unit for burning or

using oils. At my age I'd rather not use candles because I get side-

tracked and forgetful at times.

 

Karen ... I have a son with adult ADHD. What combination of oils do

you feel would work for an adult? Does body size and weight have

anything to do with the formulas?
