Essential oils

[C1239]

How do people use essential oils? In particular peppermint and tea tree?

I use them in a diffuser. A electric one rather than an oil burner.

I use peppermint for indigestion/heartburn, I mix it with a little unscented moisturiser and rub on my tummy.
I use tea tree on cuts, best diluted a bit.
I often put a few drops of essential oil in a bath, but I wouldn’t do it with peppermint, usually lavender.

I mix a few drops of tea tree oil into shampoo if my hair/scalp is feeling oily.

I don't see what's so essential about them. I've managed fine without.
