Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.


Migraines are hereditary in my family and, my daughter who is herself a parent, has suffered with migraines since age 6. She gets the "need to go into a total darkness and no sounds" place which is accompanied by sporadic vomiting.

Even though I have suggested the oils to her in the past, she is always very reluctant to try anything that is new. Much to my surprise, after she saw good oil results with her own son and nephew, she did try some oils.

We spoke one evening and she mentioned that she had a weird sort of headache starting, and some nausea, so she put a couple of drops of Eucalyptus Globulus, Peppermint and Lemon oil in her A/C filter.

Within a few minutes she was completely relaxed and fell sound asleep. It had been years since she slept so soundly and it surprised her in the morning when she awoke with no headache and feeling refreshed.

Re-applying the oils every few days onto the filter has kept her sleeping well and neither she nor her son have allergy problems in the house anymore.

6.Associated topics: household-allergens — "[T]he biological activity of 20 essential oils (EOs) from herbal plants and citrus fruits were investigated in terms of mammalian DNA polymerase (pol) inhibitory activity, cancer cell (human colon carcinoma) growth inhibitory activity, antiallergic activity... in rat basophilic leukemia cells, and antioxidant activity.... Among these EOs, chamomile... showed significant effects on both cancer cell growth and mast cell degranulation. On the basis of these results, chamomile EO can be recommended as a potentially useful, bioactive candidate for therapeutic applications."Link
