Does anyone use Essential Oils? Are they effective or placebo?

Depends on which essential oils you use. For example, I use wildcrafted oil of oregano and it is very effective in killing viruses, colds, candida and a host of other germs that live in the body. It also expels parasites. I know it's effective because someone spread their germs to me and gave me flu like symptoms. I immediately took the starter dosage, as recommended, and my virus/flu was gone in two days while my friend continued to suffer and went to the doctor for medication.

Peace,

Essential oils are great. I use them for many things, like cleaning and disinfecting, air sprays, etc.
But there is a huge difference in quality. Most 'essential oils' are chemical synthetics, concocted in a factory and are really TOXIC. So you have to ask tough questions and only buy from a place that guarantees 100% plant-derived oil with NO additives.
Although they're not all natural, I have bought a few things I love from Aveda, cuz they don't use any synthetic fragrances in their products.

I don't think they do much and they are decidedly not natural. It takes enormous amounts of energy and raw matter to extract tiny amounts of them in a process that would not occur in nature. Some of them are toxic in varying degrees.

But some of them do smell good. A few drops added to your house cleaner can make your whole house smell great.

Also I remember enjoying the feeling of being knocked out in a sweet deep sleep when I put a drop of orange and a drop of lavender on my pillow before sleeping at night.

I use organic peppermint and tea tree essential oils to brush my teeth with; and they work for that purpose.
