• Eucalyptus - Eucalyptus essential oil is highly antiseptic but also very inexpensive, so it's used liberally in aftershaves, colognes, mouthwashes, and household cleansers.  Researches found that the scent provides a real wake-up call; so using these products should help you get through the day.  The essential oil of eucalyptus, or its main component eucalyptol, is used in many drugstore products as a liniment for sore muscles, in vapor rubs for lung and sinus congestion, in skin blemishes / oily complexion lotions and creams, and   in shampoo for oily hair.  Many people use either eucalyptus leaves or the essential oil in steam baths and saunas by placing a few drops on the hot rocks so that the scent fills the room.  Eucalyptus is also one of the strongest essential oils to fight viral infections like flu, herpes, blisters, chicken pox and helps boost the body's immune system.
   

• Peppermint - Peppermint essential oil as a massage oil over the abdomen relaxes the muscles to help in the digestion of heavy meals and relieves flatulence, cramping, nausea, and specific disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome.  It is a warming oil, so it's found in most liniments to relieve painful muscle spasms and arthritic conditions.  Peppermint oil relieves the itching of ringworm, herpes blisters, scabies, and poison oak and ivy and stimulates oil production in dry skin and hair.  Many bacterial, fungal, and viral infections are destroyed by it and when inhaled or when a vapor balm is rubbed on the chest.  It clears sinus and lung congestion.  The scent is energizing, and historically, it was said to be an aphrodisiac.

This was written by Becky Ramsey of Indiana (a doctor's wife), and I want to share it with you. She recently visited a friend for coffee and smelled the bleach her friend was using to clean her toilet and countertops. This is what she said ...

I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little ole bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. What does bleach cost?  My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide. Have you ever smelled bleach in a doctor's office?

NO!!! Why? Because it smells, and it is not healthy! Ask the nurses who work in the doctor's offices, and ask them if they use bleach at home. They are wiser and know better!

Did you also know bleach was invented in the late 40's? It's chlorine, Folks! And it was used to kill our troops. Peroxide was invented during WWI in the 20's. It was used to save and help cleanse the needs of our troops and hospitals. Please think about this.

1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe.) No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash
