TTMA Essential Oils.

So H is going on some crazy all natural kick and wants to buy an oil diffuser for our house to cut back on candles and be better for us. (He's still going to have to pry my candles out of my hands)

What kinds of diffusers do you use?
What brands of oils do you buy?
Any favorite recipes?

We are big time Amazon users so if it's available there it's better for us.

I use Young Living EOs. Actually samanthasays is the one who got me on to oils and I've been hooked ever since. I haven't tried any other brand but from what I know, YL is supposed to have the highest quality oils and they have a "seed to seal" guarantee. They own all of their farms so you know exactly where your oils are coming from.

I have the dewdrop diffuser that came with my kit then I bought a second one off Amazon for my bedroom. The kit is well worth the money, IMO. You get 10-11 oils, a diffuser, and a bunch of other little samples for like $150. And then you'll be a member so you can take advantage of their wholesale prices. Some of the oils are a little pricey but your basic ones (lavender, lemon, orange, etc) are around $10-15 for a 15ml bottle and you can always make your own blends. I saw a meme floating around in one of my EO Facebook groups about how EOs actually end up being cheaper than burning candles, plus you get all the added health benefits. Feel free to PM me if you ever wanna talk oils or if you want to sign up for a kit! There's a lot of information out there and it can be confusing because of compliance issues. But the FB groups I'm in are a wealth of information and have been super helpful to me.

Lurker popping in...

I have a generic diffuser from Amazon. I recommend this website to everyone talking about EOs, though. Lots of good safety info, including what oils should or shouldn't be used around pets.

I have a YL diffuser that a friend gave me and I love it. She sells YL stuff but thinks a few other brands are comparable and I've bought them on Amazon. We use this sleep one in the bedroom and now the second I smell it, I zonk out and sleep so soundly. It's a lavender smell and I don't even like lavender but now I'm hooked. We also use a purification one and an anti inflammatory one. I also do a couple topical ones, all infertility related.

care to post the IF related ones? And the other comparable brand you use? Or you can PM me.

For other than YL, I've gotten Ed.ens Gar.den and Earth.roma and like both but EG is better, I think. The good night one I use is from EG.

I have YL clary sage (I don't like the smell at all but it's supposed to be useful) and progessence plus for IF. I got Copaiba from Earth.roma which is supposed to be anti inflammatory and I mix with good night at bedtime.

I just added a kit with 6 different pre-blended oils from Ed.ens Gar.den to my Amazon cart and an anti-anxiety blend.

Are you stalking my FB page?? I literally just posted about this tonight. Looking to get into EO but wasn't sure which company or even where to start. Looking for any IF info or sleeping info, which is where I'm looking to start.

I have Progessence plus too (****** that's the one I was telling you about). They also have one called Endoflex that's supposed to help regulate your hormones.

Progessence plus has helped me so much with all of the nasty period side effects. I also got pregnant while kind of avoiding, I was using Pro+, it could be a coincidence, but I tried my ass off with great timing for a year to get pregnant the first time, and I accidentally did using Pro+? Even though it ended in a CP, my progesterone levels were great, in my last 2 they were super low even on progesterone suppositories. 

But I think the biggest thing for me is I replaced all artificial fragrances from candles, soap, perfume, dryer sheets and laundry detergent with essential oil fragrances. ISWTE talks about artificial fragrances being endocrine disruptors, which is bad for fertility and health in general. It fell into the "cant hurt, might help" category for me, and now Im addicted

^^ She got me addicted too ☺️

I use both Young Living and Rocky Mountain Oils. I've bought cheaper brands on Amazon and was not impressed. Lavender is clutch for sleep, but I like adding Cedarwood to that as well.

Have you tried RC on the bottom of your feet for sleep? I don't know why but that knocks me out!

So they were out of RC when I got my kit and I'm still waiting to get it!

Those of you who use essential oils for sleep- did you ever need to take sleeping medication? I have problems sleeping and need to take either unisom or melatonin at night. Has essential oils stopped you from needing meds? I need to get off the meds

[lilsneezy]

Lavendar, cedarwood, and Northern Lights black spruce is my favorite combination for sleeping.

I'm ordering the black spruce and cedar wood that sounds delightful!

[butlerfan]

I want to get in to doing essential oils more. I love my peppermint and eucalyptus oil roller ball for headaches.

I have had to use sleep aids, OTC and prescription, off and on for awhile. It's not a chronic issue for me. I think if you use melatonin for sleep, EO would be a valid substitute to try. But if you were on something as strong as ambien, probably wouldn't get the results you're after. KWIM ?

My and i both think the lavender works great for sleep. Maybe it's placebo effect but when we use it, we fall asleep quicker and rest better than normal.

It seems like it's worth I shot? I've never taken anything stronger than melatonin and unisom. So how do you recommend using it? Diffuser, mixing with lotion and rubbing on feet?

Jumping in
I do it just with a diffuser and MH uses melatonin to sleep usually but does not need it when we use the diffuser. We put the diffuser pretty close to the bed. I have a friend who also makes a spray to spray on pillows. For me, that might be too much lavender scent (it's not my favorite) but if you like it, might help!

[jax1182014]

wannabmama oh I forgot I have a spray for pillows too.. guess I should try using it more to see if it helps. I've been keeping my eye on diffusers though.

[lilsneezy]

If anyone ever wants to add to my monthly YL order, just let me know! I'll give you my wholesale price and I can separate the order so YL can ship it directly to you. My order gets processed on the 3rd of every month so if anyone wants in, just let know beforehand. It would be a great way to try some stuff out without having to become a member and paying full price. For instance, a 15ml bottle of lavender is $30.92 retail, but I can get it at the wholesale price of $23.50.

Nooo! What a bummer. If it has been a while you can log in to live chat, they might be able to expedite

Where do you apply the Pro+  I have tried using in the past but really don't know where the most effectivelocation for application is.  Thank you so much!
