what essential oils do you guys use?

[nearlythere]

I have recently started to wash with eco balls and miss the laundry 'smell' so i've been adding a few drops of lavender essential oil in the conditioner drawer and it smells lovely!

So i've just been surfing and bought a whole load of bulk essential oils- including lavender, tea tree (for the nappies!), sweet orange and spearmint for cleaning- they were really cheap as i bought them in big quantities and so hopefully should last forever!

Just wondered if there was anything else you suggest.

I love lime, lime and mandarin mixed together smell gorgeous

hadn't thought of that, i'm looking forward to trying the sweet orange- got a litre of essential oil for £7!! bargain, i think that'll get used for everything!

nearly there - a LITRE of essential oil for £7. Sorry but that can't be essential oil!!!
Good idea to add to conditioner though.

yup it is! it is only sweet orange- very cheap 30p per 10ml bottle, wholesale prices though as i have a vat number! The lavender cost 40.50 for a litre, i guess orange is just a cheaper oil! Saffron oil was about 180 quid for 100ml!

where did you get them from nearlythere? I always use absolute aromas for my essential oils that I use for aromatherapy massage and treatments

idaromatics.co.uk- i will let you know how i get on- the oils should arrive in a few days!

the little bottles will costa bomb though wont they? my chemist do them for 99p a little bottle. - a litre - hck that will ermmm last a long time lol!!!

i think its only worth while if you want loads of the stuff! I got litre bottles and some spare 10ml/30ml bottles as i can sell tea tree and lavender through the shops for nappy-heads, it will work out cheaper for my customers than buying it from the health food shop at £5.99 for 10ml!!!!!

Price also comes down to the way the oil is processed, which affects the quality and consequently the benefits, I would be careful what you use them for TBH.

these people are good but not as cheap as you've got.

I make my own air freshener with essential oils as well - just add some to water, put it in an old plastic sprayer (so you don't have to send it to the landfill!) give a good shake and a quick squirt when necessary. Works really well, and keeps the bathroom fresh for hours!
