Here are some more tidbits I have in my notes that I’ve taken while reading books and researching on the web…
Keep a recipe book of any blends you make. Be sure and note how much water or carrier oil you used and how many drops of each oil. If you make a blend that you like and it works, you want to be able to make it again.

Instead of using toxic chemicals on mold, you can use a few drops of tea tree oil with a small amount of vinegar to wipe or spray on areas of mold in the house. It will eliminate mold immediately.

A real plus to using essential oils as medicine is that they don’t have negative side effects like synthetic drugs can. For example, the tinctures of iodine, merthiolate, mercurochrome and other antiseptics may be effective in killing organisms that could invade an open lesion, but at the same time they are toxic, destructive to human tissue, and retard healing.
Essential oils are not only just as effective in their antiseptic powers, but they are non-toxic, harmless to human tissue, and promote healing. God’s medicines leave our immune systems stronger after the illness than before, thus working toward the prevention of future disease. This is quite unlike antibiotics that weaken us and even destroy good bacteria, which can lead to serious health risks.

Essential oils possess interesting characteristics when it comes to dental plaque. They seem to be able to dissolve it chemically, even when there is no mechanical brushing or flossing. They also add an antiseptic benefit that cannot be equaled in conventional toothpaste.

As early as 1992, scientists in Vienna produced credible research that inhaling the volatile aromas of certain essential oils (vetiver, patchouli, cedarwood, sandalwood and frankincense) resulted in a significant increase (up to 28%) in blood flow to the brain, resulting in increased oxygen levels and enabling higher brain function.

Shimizu, the 3rd largest construction company in Japan, incorporates an "Aroma Generation System" into the air-conditioning of new offices and hospitals. They tailor-make aromas to their clients’ needs, with over 20 standard aromas in their inventory. This was all based on research done by Takasago, one of Japan’s largest fragrance manufacturers, which found that workers operating computers and word processors made 54% fewer errors when the air was diffused with lemon, 33% fewer errors with jasmine, and 20% fewer errors with lavender.
