Hi Butch,

Okay, I can do that. I may need to get the rosemary, better go check my

cabinet. I have your Origanum vulgare so that should fill the bill on that

one.

I've not been on an airplane for as long as I'll be on this one so figured

I'd better do something for myself and Hubby. I really don't want us

getting any kind of yucky bug for this trip. ;)

Well, I'll say it now. Have a great flight and wonderful time in the

states. I imagine the lil guy won't object too much to the sniffin since he

is of your lineage.

Very good to know. I'll make this up in the F C oil and also I think a

linen type spray for my clothes too. I hear there are LOTS of bugs

especially mosquitos and sand fleas I think it was. I don't care to be bit

by either!

Butch,

 

Those skies sure can be " unfriendly " . I contracted TB on a flight. I was in

first class, the infected person was in coach. To possibly prevent inhaling some

" bad " bugs, it is helpful to coat your nostrils with a homemade salve using a

base oil and beeswax. I add essential oils to mine. Tea tree and Eucalyptus

make it similar to Vicks but without the petroleum! Bon Voyage!

Odds are great we will catch a bug after being cooped up in recycled air

on an aircraft.

 

We'll be flying to the USA in late June and though my son will be less

than four months old then .. I intend to have him (reluctantly) sniff

some Origanum during the flight.

 

With the Catnip .. I'd recommend 6% or so (if its Canadian) with maybe

2% Eucalyptus, Lemon and 2% Lemon Tea Tree .. with a Fractionated

Coconut Base.

 

Have a good one .. on all counts .. and keep smiling. :-)

My one comment... Love the idea of coating the nostrils with the salve for

two reasons...

 

1. It will last longer, it's right under your nose ALL the time

 

2. Less likely to kick off someone elses allergies if they have them and

also less likely to be annoying to someone sitting next to you...

 

Will have to remember the salve tip...

 

And Getting TB, man, that not only sucks but is a right bugger. Sure hope

you are well now.

=======My husband's really sensitive to smells. I don't diffuse many oils

because of it -- he just can't handle the odors. He gets a bad headache,

sometimes even vomits -- serious business for us.

I'll have to keep that in mind as well. I know I am personally very

effected by synthetic perfumes and the like. I am so glad that I haven't

been effected by essential oils at all in the same way. I just pray that

people are sensitive to others and leave the perfume and cologne for another

time.

 

I'll probably make the salve and my personal lil bottle of oregano. I will

save the spray combo for my hotel room.
