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!!!!!!
