I got into them when I retired 
Das a nurse) I keep a core collection in my medicine cabinet and seem to be able to cope with most problems with this collection. Lavender for earache kitchen burns and relaxation in bath. Eucalyptus for inhalations ( mostly winter colds) teatree oil for practically everything. Marjoram a few drops in a hot bath really takes the kinks out of those muscles.
Grandad Weatherwax used to describe me and my oils as 'Old Mother Shipton and her jollop' However, when his septic toe didn't respond to antibiotics and he couldn't have pennicillin because he is allergic to it, I treated it with teatree and cleared up the infection. Now he swears by teatree.
I was over 60 when I discovered them and wish I had found them much earlier. Anyone else a fan?
