Re: Why does my tummy hurt?

[Guest guest]

That is okay. Everyone can disagree if you want to, after we are

all entitled to our own opinion. It's something to look into. I

too have studied aromatherapy and although I wouldn't say to always

put them directly on your skin, there are some instances that you

can (ie menstrual cramps, upset stomach, asthma). Again this is

only MY opinion. Everyone can do the research for themselves, but

it is something to put out there that really does help an upset

stomach.

are some of the most powerful oils. You have to treat them with

the directions exactly. When you bought your peppermint oil did it

come with a fact sheet?

think of the oil as an " invader " or foreign substance.

because many times you can use Ravensara instead. With my teens I

am very, very careful with it.
