| I use essential oils all the time. I haven't heard of any of them being harmful if you are using them in a burner. My personal preferences are Eucalyptus/Spearmint, Peppermint, French Lavendar, White Grapefruit and Lemon. I use an almond oil as the base, add several drops of the Eucalyptus/Spearmint and Peppermint, then a few drops of Lavender, White Grapefuit and Lemon. Smells clean, fresh and uplifting!!!!! You can also use them in bathwater to relax, refresh or revigorate. They can be added to lotions, made into rubs and some can even be added to teas (such as peppermint). Lavender is also used for its healing properties and can be used on minor cuts/scrapes. I would recommend getting a book on essential oils. More than anything though, make sure your oils are real essential oils, not perfumes or scents. Cold processed in dark bottles are what you are looking for and not all essential oils are created equal!!!!!!

| I get mine from my massage therapist who has done her research and buys from various parts of the world. Then, she creates some of her own blends (and uses her own bottles). The only brand names I have are, Carnazzi (Lemon, Lime and Tangerine Oils) and Pure Herbs, Ltd (Peppermint Oil). I like the almond oil that Bath and Body Works sometimes has, but their essential oils are very expensive and not great quality. You can find some good ones on Ebay also.

| I found a website that has some interesting information about using essential oils on dogs: Using Essential Oils with Dogs | Aspenbloom Pet Care I would like to try some of them myself. The only one I have used so far is the lavender oil and I was very impressed with its healing ability. |

| Good ideas. I hear lavender is a natural flea repellent. Plus it just smells good! |
