Your friend is misinformed .. its as simple as that. Where she got the " might " part is probably where the misinformation originated. Actually, its a purty danged good combo you are using. However, I would not sniff the Eucalyptus (globulus or smithii) as often as I did the Origanum .. nor would I do it the same way. I'd put a drop or three of Eucalyptus in a cuppa warm water .. clasp my hands around it and sniff for a while .. maybe 2-3 times a day but odds are you would not need it that often. As for the Origanum .. when I am coming down with a Big Bad Bug .. I keep a cloth with a few drops of it near by and sniff it every few minutes .. for hours. ;-) Normally, it will kick the Big Bad Bugs in the Butt .. and as you know, the Eucalyptus is more inclined to get rid of the symptoms .. the stuffiness, etc. > I appreciate your consideration. My pleasure fer'shur. > Mary Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
