Essential Oils

I drink a glass of water with Thorne’s Magnesium Bisglycinate powder mixed in an hour before bed every night and then take a warm epsom salt bath with lavender and frankincense essential oils 15 minutes before bed. That has helped the most. RLS is literally the worst and I’m sorry you’re dealing with it ��

I just received an aromatherapy diffuser as a gift and after some brief research on Google my anxiety is triggered and I'm worried. The diffuser would create oil particles whihc you shouldn't breath, and evaporating EOs release compounds which are apparently related to heart and lung problems. I have been making and occasionally using roll-on perfumes using diluted EOs in almond/jojoba oil, i haven't noticed any majoar problems but i also can't tell if there are any creeping symptons i'm not noticing (frog in the boiling pot problem). I don't have asthma, COPD, or noticeable allergic reactions or irritations to the roll-on perfumes. I don't have pets or children. I want to enjoy the gift but am concerned about the escalation of oil partiles into the air. submitted by /u/petea_copine to r/essentialoils [link] [comments]

I've been getting my essential and carrier oils from Quintessential Oils for years but the owner said she is retired now and will be selling the business at some point. Her stuff was good quality and reliable. So sorry to not be able to get oils from her anymore. Any suggestions? Thanks! submitted by /u/jupiterexalted to r/essentialoils [link] [comments]

So this woman on my team got really into essential oils a few months ago. At first it was harmless. She’d roll some on her wrists or temples, and no one said anything. A few of us even joked about how nice it smelled, kind of like walking into a spa. Then she brought in a small USB diffuser. She set it up on her desk and it started pumping out lavender or peppermint or whatever she was in the mood for that day. It wasn’t overpowering at first, but then the blends got stronger. Some days it honestly makes the whole corner of the office smell like some kind of hippie apothecary. The kicker is she never really asked if it was okay. It just became part of the space. A couple of coworkers have quietly moved to different desks. One guy said it was giving him a headache. Another mentioned that her eucalyptus mix made his asthma flare up. She kind of brushed it off when it came up, saying everything she uses is “pure and natural” so it couldn’t possibly cause irritation. That rubbed a few people the wrong way. She’s also started suggesting oils for people’s problems. Like if you say you’re tired, she’ll pull out some citrus blend and tell you to inhale deeply. One time someone mentioned they were feeling anxious and she basically said they should stop taking meds and try frankincense instead. That one got a few awkward looks. Nobody really wants to escalate it because the trouble’s just not worth it. HR here is slow, management avoids anything that feels like “personal drama,” and most people just shrug and deal with it. But at what point is it okay to ask someone to stop doing something just because it's natural? Does being well-intentioned excuse disrupting the shared workspace? submitted by /u/Welford-Carsten to r/coworkerstories [link] [comments]

I know I know essential oils will never be as good as lab made materials. I am determined to create my fragrances using only essential oil. How delusional am I? submitted by /u/Used-Inside3232 to r/DIYfragrance [link] [comments]

I am not The OOP, OOP is u/flounder19601953 Friend is mad at me because I wouldn’t buy essential oils from our other friend who works for an MLM (all of us 25/f) Originally posted to r/relationship_advice Original Post - rareddit Sept 26, 2018 So up until very recently, I honestly had no idea that essential oils were sold by MLM companies, or that people thought they had healing powers. I’ve been diffusing them for a few years because I like that they’re cleaner and safer than candles & incense. That’s the only reason. Last week, I invited 3 old friends from high school over for wine and appetizers—just a typical hangout. My friend “Katie” invited “Cara”. Cara went to high school with us, but I was never close with her so I wasn’t friends with her on Facebook or anything. As soon as Cara saw my diffuser, she said her side job is selling essential oils and basically starting pitching me. It was pretty obvious right away that she works for a MLM, but I honestly didn’t care. The way I saw it, since I used these oils all the time, I’d rather support someone I actually know than give my money to some company on Amazon. So I told her to shoot me a Facebook message later and we could talk about it. Anyone who’s familiar with MLMs knows what’s coming next. I was prepared to pay a bit of a markup, but the prices were insane. Cara wanted close to $30 for something I could get for $5 on Amazon. So I thanked for her reaching out and told her the oils were way out of my price range. Cara tried to tell me about how her oils were “more pure” than mine and how they have healing powers. I told her I just go to the doctor when I’m sick and I don’t need the oils for anything but making the room smell nicer. Then she got a bit nasty, told me I’m poisoning myself with my cheap oils, and said I wasn’t smart enough to see the opportunity she was presenting me with. Basic MLM stuff, and I barely know Cara so I didn’t care. The issue is this text I got from Katie yesterday. She said it was really rude of me to “lead Cara on” and make her think I was going to buy something, and that she didn’t think I was the kind of person who’d buy from a “faceless corporation” over supporting a friend who “owns her own business”. She said I didn’t need to start buying all my oils from Cara, but it was “downright disrespectful” of me to not at least try her product and see if it was better. I honestly stared at my phone for a straight minute after I read that message. But I finally sent the following reply: “I didn’t waste Cara’s time by hearing her sales pitch. I was legitimately interested in her product, until she mentioned it was six times what I normally pay. Any legitimate businessperson would understand how important pricing is to people, and would be smart enough not to back a company that charges that kind of markup. Personally, I think it’s a bit of a stretch to call Cara a business owner. I think an actual business owner would know better than to insult a potential client after they chose not to buy anything. And they certainly wouldn’t turn around and trash that potential client to mutual friends, as Cara clearly did with you.” It’s been over a day and Katie still hasn’t texted me back. She’s obviously acting like a jerk, but she really is a good friend and I don’t want this to end our friendship. Should I reach out? What should I say? Tl;dr Friend of a friend tried to sell me some essential oils at a ridiculous markup. Now my friend is mad at me. TOP COMMENTS NothappyJane You are right and you know it. Friends dont guilt their other friends into buying overpriced items from them and get mad when they dont have the budget for it. She was also pretty mean and personal about your choices. Friendship should not be conditional on that kind of support. Its supposed to be about emotional support not financial. If they cant accept that they are not really your friend anyway and they sound like they have been brainwashed by MLM. I would basically smooth it over and call her up, or keep talking to her because you have to move on at some point ~ freshicing Have her spend 10 minutes on r/antimlm and see if she still thinks highly of her friend who “owns her own business” ~ UnsureThrowaway975 Honestly, I wonder if your "friend" invited Cara along because she knew you already used essential oils and would be an easy mark. Now they're mad that you didn't play into their plan. Let your friend stew. You're right and you both should know that. If she considers you as good of a friend as you consider her, this will pass. Inquiring about the product someone is selling and then declining when its clear it doesnt fit you isn't leading them on. Its literally the whole point of working in sales. Update - rareddit Sept 29, 2018 (3 days later) This isn’t the update I wanted to be writing. A lot of you made correct predictions the other day: Katie is absolutely in Cara’s downline. She just started making Facebook posts about the essential oils she’s selling. I think this is probably the final nail in the coffin of our friendship. Which I’m sure sounds dramatic, but hear me out: Katie and I have been friends since high school, but the main thing that held us together these years was being burnouts: neither of us went to college, both of us just got shitty jobs out of high school and did nothing productive. When I was 22, I decided I was sick of making $12 an hour, and I went back to school. After three years of busting my ass, taking credit overloads, and doing evening classes after summer internships, I recently graduated with a CS degree and got a coding job with a top 10 tech company. While I was in school, I had a difficult time making friends (probably because I was older than everyone else), and I clung very hard to my high school friends like Katie. My friendship with her definitely was strained, though. She seemed to think that me bettering myself meant that I looked down on her. Things started getting really difficult when I started getting high-paying internships. They got worse when I got an extremely well-paying job right out of college and she saw what kind of apartment I was able to afford. (Katie lives in a very small apartment with a roommate). She would talk about how school had “changed” me for the worse, and how I thought I was better than her. Some of it was just her projecting insecurity, but some of it was also probably tactless behavior on my part. The truth of the matter is that I DO think Katie is capable of being better, and it frustrates me that she’d prefer to buy into a pyramid scheme than get an education. Her parents still have her college fund, and have told her that she’s welcome to it (it’s something like $100k; way more than she’d need for 2 years at a community college and 2 years at a state school) if she chooses to go back. But I guess she’d rather get rich quick hocking essential oils. Anyway...it’s pretty obvious that Cara is Katie’s mentor now. And after the smackdown I laid on Cara about what a bad businesswoman she was, and how essential oils are stupid, I’m guessing Katie is probably done with me. To her, it probably just seems like yet another example of me looking down on her. I appreciated what a lot of you said—about how friendship shouldn’t be predicated on buying things. But I think I also just need to accept that we’ve outgrown each other, and this would’ve happened soon whether she got into essential oils or not. I’m still sad, though. Tl;dr friend is selling essential oils. I think our friendship is probably over. TOP COMMENTS imaginesomethinwitty Many of these MLMs meet a lot of the criteria for cults, particularly advocating cutting off anyone who doesn’t support your ‘oily journey’ or whatever. Don’t let Katie drag you down with her. ~ Weaselpanties It sounds like it's time to distance yourself from some of your old friends. It's unfortunate, but some people really do hate it when their friends become successful. MLMs also tend to be cult-like, and brainwash people into believing that not buying product from them = undermining them.
