We use them in our house simply as a smell good. A couple of drops with some water in the diffuser and the house smells good. Not sure about any other added benefit.
I can say this........ the doTerra Terrashield oil is an excellent repellant for those buffalo gnats!!!! A couple drops around your neck, ears and face and the gnats are gone.

There was a conversation about this at work the other day. I told one of the docs I was going to tell pharmacy to take all the meds out of the crash cart and put essential oils in their place... he didn't seem to think they would work.
If I’m in a car crash I want western medicine. For daily health though we go with mostly natural organic healthy approaches

My wife is really into them. For the first several months I was pretty much in the camp of them being snake oil. Yeah, they made the house smell good in a diffuser, but whatever. Then one day my back was killing me, and she talked me into putting some oil on it. I was pretty amazed at how fast it helped. Now I have a few oils like Peppermint, Panaway, and Copaiba I carry with me for various back, shoulder, and carpal tunnel pains. They do work for me.
Do they take the place of doctors and medications? No. But for feeling better and getting along better in daily life I do believe in some of them now. I'm not saying all the time for everything, I do feel like some of the stuff is stretching the imagination a bit. But for sure there are some of them that work too.

over the last 2 years i have been willing to give them a chance because i saw how well some of them worked on my grand kids and myself!!
i am also a firm believer that the creator put everything on this earth we needed,,,, and some home remedies are actually real .... i am not saying they are fool proof but some of them proved to be effective to my disbelief ///
just a reminder to all of us,, we make paper out of trees, and pine sap has been a household cleaner for many decades, we run our cars on thick black useless gooy goop out of the ground and diamonds are made from coal,,,, so why is it hard to believe oils can and do actually work?????
Well said. I gave my wife the hardest time for ever about her essential oils. I used to joke with her about her black magic. However, I have come around a little bit because I have seen some of them actually work for their intended use.

She puts different ones on her neck if she has allergies/cold/whatever, and does the same for our son. He's missed one day of school in 2 years and she is rarely sick. She also puts drops in a little machine that makes mist out of it, not sure what that does but it makes the house smell good.
She puts stuff in the dogs water too. I told her if she found one to keep skeeters away that I'd buy in....
