Marie---EO/Flower Essences

[Guest guest]

Thank you so much for all the wonderful info! I really appreciate it.

I have just started on the EO---starting with lavender. How can I tell if it

is theraputic or synthetic? The kind I bought is by Aroma Land. Not sure if

incense helps at all but have been using sandalwood and lavender----I have

found the lavender relaxes me. LOL

I am very interested in the bach Flower remedies also. I will definitely

check the links you shared.

I have become so disenchanted with western medicine. Kind of bigoted of me

considering I am a nurse. However, taking the anti-inflammatories, the

Darvocet and Flexeril is providing just minimal relief and this is no way to

live.

BTW, I have made an appointment with my GP. I have decided not to return to

my rheumy even though he is the specialist. I am hoping and praying my GP

will be more open to listening to my complaints and be open to all the

research I have done. I see him Thursday so I am preparing by photocopying as

much as I can to take to him.

Once again, thanks for all the info! :-)

P.S. I see that you are a nurse also---how has this affected your work? I

have been working for a staffing agency and once I finished this past

semester at school, went back on active duty. I have not been able to take

even one shift----too weak, too much pain---going to the grocery store about

kills me much less working an 8 hour shift. I finally went on inactive status

and they *still* call me two to three times a week!
