Have you ever been helped by an essential oil? If so, what and how?

One time my wife put some kind of oil on my bruised thigh, and I kid you not, the next morning that bruise was gone! It was amazing. Not only that, but i think my leg got a little bit stronger than it used to be somehow? Crazy stuff. Anyway - let's hear your stories.

Put a bruise on both thighs. Apply oil to one and not the other. Then get back to us.

Malathion

I use it for headaches. I mix it with some Percocet to thicken. Works perfect.

5/15/18 3:08pm

I bet that tastes weird.

Malathion

Acetylsalicylic acid is an essential oil, so each time I have a headache

Nice. So $1,000 per ml with DoTerra or $.20 per ml for a bottle of WD40?

Was it for religious reasons? What's the reasoning behind their lack of support?

RSL
