That’s what I am. I use essential oils all the time. Frequently, I take them internally: I either put them in a capsule OR scoop out a teaspoon of virgin coconut oil, make a little well with my finger, and add a couple of drops to the indentation. Sometimes simply rubbing a few drops of an essential oil directly inside my cheek is the easiest and quickest way to benefit internally from therapeutic-grade essential oils.
One of my favorite oils is the blend called Thieves. It’s a blend of cinnamon, clove, lemon, rosemary and eucalyptus. It smells and tastes good, and it is so powerful! When these oils are combined, they work synergisticly to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
I don’t know how many times I have warded off getting sick by starting to use Theives or other essential oils at the first sign that I am coming down with something. I usually hit the oils (or virus?) really hard, along with Mineral Essence and vitamin C, especially at first. Putting several drops on my feet is also an excellent way to protect myself from any germs or bugs that are going around.
Following is a list of the individual oils in Thieves and some of their beneficial actions:
Cinnamon: Antibacterial, antifungal, helpful in the treatment of candidiasis
Clove: Anti-infectious, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, and antiseptic
Rosemary: Effective against staphylococcus aureus, antifungal, disinfectant
Eucalyptus Radiata: Antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, decongestant, anti-infectious
Lemon: Kills germs that cause meningitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, staph infections, inhibits mold growth, repels insects
These are just simple therapeutic-grade essential oils. Just imagine the power they have when they join forces!

At this point I must remind you of what you already know. What works for me may not work for you. I am not prescribing or telling you what you should take. It is always good to learn as much as we can about whatever is available to us, and then make an informed decision based on the facts.
