So far so good. I am going to hurry up and use up my room spray though.<br /><br />PussDaddyPussDaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16980599321761107659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626271134814801151.post-1061582853554564802009-08-27T07:36:24.727-04:002009-08-27T07:36:24.727-04:00I found Wintergreen too! That person who wanted to add things until it smelled nice used it a lot. <br /><br />I guess the middle ground is hard to find because so many people need to be told that hot coffee is hot.

I&#39;ve noticed a lot of people, in the US in particular, just think they smell pretty and don&#39;t realize that essential oils have many chemicals, some even yet unidentified. But, as there is no governing body to regulate their use, unsafe use is everywhere. I once saw someone post a recipe with instructions to &quot;add the oils until they smell nice&quot; and yelled at me for warning people that was a very bad idea. <br /><br />It definitely pays to be an informed consumer when it comes to these substances, since so many people who walk into the local Whole Foods to buy them are not.Fyrecreekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14410917227261423892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626271134814801151.post-4322102508685392282009-08-20T23:04:45.542-04:002009-08-20T23:04:45.542-04:00wow! thanks so much for the info! i had never really thought much about it because it always seems like natural things should be harmless because they&#39;re natural. <br /><br />i don&#39;t know anything about essential oils and aromatherapy, so i just have to trust that the people selling it do. thanks for making me more aware on an important issue!Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11336552555902946133noreply@blogger.com
