Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I know, I know I KNOW! I always flush with water. BUT, last week my son knuckled Tea tree into his eye (my ten year old) and was screaming. I did " dilute " it real quick with milk, which stopped the pain long enough for him to get up to and to hang over the sink so I could flush. That's the ONLY time I have ever used milk. It was just a temporary quick solution so I could get down to the real job of flushing. And to stop the little monster from screaming. Bad advice! Mea Culpa. What can I say, I'm an idiot. Got my order. Yumsville. Thanks mucho! Oh! Loved the nutmeg sample. That's next on my list.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hey Kathleen, > Never Never Never NEVER put eo's in your eye. EVER! Agree .. good advice. However, there are times when the use of some hydrosols in the eyes is not only safe .. but quickly effective .. one example is Rose Hydrosol direct to the eyes to knock the crap out of Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye). But .. one must make sure that the hydrosol has not become contaminated with critters prior to use. > If you do accidently get EO's in your eye, take care to wash > it out with milk. > K Disagree .. me and hundreds of other folks have been trying to stop this rumor for many years. Never, Never, Never try to wash an essential oil from the eyes using milk .. or anything else except .. CLEAR WATER! This rumor began long ago and its based on a correct assumption that leads to an incorrect conclusion. The correct assumption is that EO will not dilute in water .. but will dilute in any fatty substance .. like milk .. or even alcohol. But when one gets EO in the eye .. the intent is NOT to dilute .. and spread the EO .. the intent is to flush it from the eye .. and water is the ONLY liquid that will do this. So y'all .. do as you want to .. but if you do get EO in your eye and you do not use water .. it will be the last time you choose to not use water .. and that's a fact. ;-) Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
