Essential oils are great for aromatherapy and as scents but they can also be used around the home for cleaning, disinfecting, insect repellants, rodent repellants, stain removal, deodorizing and much more.
Can essential oils help diabetes, epilepsy, gout and osteoporosis? My internet search for evidence came up pretty short so I pulled out some of my aromatherapy books. While the books don't contain evidence, they did recommend certain essential oils for each condition along with safety information.
