Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I can tolerate emu oil very well Do some of you use tea tree oil? Do have any info about it? I use it as an fungicide in my house, I put 1-5 drops in 1/2 liter and clean everything with it - 2 times a month. Mygla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 A couple of times, I cringed when I saw Sharon sniffing a bottle of hand lotion, body lotion, etc., that a friend who was staying with us had, and wanted to make sure it wouldn't affect her. Several times just smelling the product she was fine, but the second our friend put it on their skin and this time it was just the hands, it was a whole different story. She could smell it even before she got into the room, we had to open up all the doors and windows while Sharon ran outside, because she was starting to have a reaction. She lost her voice for the rest of the evening. So when anyone is checking out new products, it may not be the product itself but the reaction it has with yours or someone elses body oils.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Ive had that problem too, KC. you all have been busy this morning, as soon as my vision focuses better, I'll have to go read all this. I use " all " free and clear for laundry, . theres a few sauve shampoos that aren't bad, but I have what I think is dermintitus on my back and up the back of my head from haveing cronic sinusitis and night sweats around my head and upper back area. and some on arms and neck and face, this gets aggervated by many products. sence wal-marts going to sell organic foods, I wonder if they would consider a few ailes with all chemical free products? --- In , " " <eaglestone@...> wrote: > > KC, > Yes you are correct in that.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I dont use anything that comes in the form of spray or spritz or pump, weather its hairspray or what. Im thinking that if I had to use something on my hair ,I'd look for a mouse or jell. but I just do with out, , like several other things. some of us are just to broke anymore to try things and have them effect us and have to throw them away. I always used dove soap and just swithed to the fragrance free, and also dawn dish washing fragrance free. and Im not sticking my nose to anything to see if it effects me. > > magic botanicals has ben recalled?
