Essential oils have been shown in studies to have very few negative side effects or risks when they are used as directed. But given how popular essential oils have become in recent years, and how many different brands of oils are now available, it’s not surprising that there’s some growing concerns regarding essential oil safety.
On this episode of Ancient Medicine Today, I'm talking about the top 10 mistakes people make with essential oils as well as internal use, topical use, and aromatic use.

Essential Oils should be the very first line of defense in any homeopathic holistic therapy regimen. Of course the unholy alliance between big pharma and the feds will always frown on that, but why can't consumers become proactive and have a fighting chance against a whole host of diseases ?

Thanks. I use mostly the top five essential oils on the list given at the clip though I have two another I use also which are peppermint and lemongrass.
As to the consumers proactivity it takes some effort to learn and many are okay with being programmed by big pharma world or they don't realize it is happening.

Cats don't have the liver enzymes to process most essential oils, and diffusion can be a slow painful death over the course of years.
There are a few that seem to be safe, but I notice over time there are more and more findings that most oils are bad, even those previously listed as helpful for cats.
The same by the way holds true for artificial scents like perfumes and air fresheners. ANd cleaners. Citrus based products are also toxic.
The problem being, that while toxic, they don't often have immediate effects unless ingested or someone really loads it into the diffuser. The cat seems fine. But slowly over time these products do the damage they do.
Long term isn't well studies because people don't event think about day to day usage of something that doesn't seem to have an effect, but liver damage isn't always something that happens immediately or has immediate external results. People don't think about long term poisoning of their pets, yet the vast majority of people are slowly killing their pets with the products they use. :-(

Please keep the subject header the same the topic is not exclusively about cats you can make your own thread on that yourself with the subject header you desire.. otherwise thanks for the input aside from the subject topic change.

It was about essential oils in general and you are actively reaching for a reason to chastise me since under normal circumstances you would appreciate the support of other beings and their health.
Your true double standard colors show vividly here,or your irrationality about one poster is causing you to lose sight of your own cherished ideals.
Date: January 09, 2024 at 10:24:22 From: Eve, [DNS_Address] Subject: Re: Just don't diffuse if you have cats
No not a double standard it's you with what you started with me some time ago. As for the other you are off base as usual not surprising. I never loose sight of my ideals EVER you must be blind as I don't mind saying what I notice as in this instance and that is one of my ideals so nope, not lost my sight but you seem to have lost yours.
Go post to someone else in their thread or whatnot maybe they are interested in your offerings and you have not gone out of your way to offended them as much as you have me in the past. Even now with subject header changing you did so. The topic is not about cats and essential oil diffusing and telling others what to do around their cats. It's nice ryan does not speak to the reason you left in the first place you said you felt he changed and it made you uncomfortable so you must go (paraphrase) ...So did he change back to comfort mode so you returned?

The attitude toward the post is pretty much the equivalent of being a meat crazy carnivore in your lack of regard for other beings.
Date: January 09, 2024 at 10:16:59 From: Eve, [DNS_Address] Subject: Re: Just don't diffuse if you have cats
You planted the seed when you said I supported DT which I have never done nor supported any politician nor believe in political pulpit voting. Also you said good bye to us all and came back reneging and excusing yourself...okay fine and then you do the thing I don't like on purpose using subject header changes as you have always done in confrontational manner to me... lil miss innocent you are not...disruptive persona yes.
Date: January 09, 2024 at 11:25:12 From: Awen, [DNS_Address] Subject: Re: Just don't diffuse if you have cats
Eve, one of the things that is unforgettable was that when I protested someone criticizing Donald Trump, you claimed that I supported Bill Clinton, referring to him specifically in the context of him as a sexual abuser.
That severely traumatized me given what I have experienced, being accused, and unforgettably so, of supporting that filth.
My criticizing trump and you immediately jumping to that meaning I support a rapist filth sack tells me point blank that yes, at that time you very much supported Donald Trump. There is no way of getting around that.
That said, you are the one who keeps bringing it up as if by lying over and over again it somehow makes it true that you never supported him.
I accept that you don't now, and that's great, people learn. But people do have past, people do have history.
Second, I can't find my goodbye posts, but I'm fairly certain I acknowledged in them the mental health struggles I was having at the time, I acknowledged I was likely overreacting to Bopp's actions banning another user, and I never under any circumstances suggest a good bye is permanent, just that sometimes I need to get my head on straight and that I might or might not come back.
Sorry that you misread to the degree that it got your hopes up that I would never come back, but that's your wishful thinking.
Now, I stayed on topic, you turned the thread into a pissing contest and made it personal.
Fascinating that every time I extend an olive branch with a supportive post, that goes along with your ideals, you will bend over backward and wriggle like an eel to make it seem like the world is against you.
Here's what happened here:
1. Eve makes a post
2. Awen makes a supportive post.
3. Eve makes a post filled with insults saying Awen should stay on to=pic when in fact Awen did stay on topic with a post that was in keeping with Eve's ideals.
4. Awen does unto Eve what Eve did unto her. Awen is a bit irritated and yes, Rubs Eve's nose in her hypocracy.
5. Eve tries to escalate, saying several things that Awen has already acknowledged about herself. Eve seems to think she's telling Awen something new, And Eve tries to tell some lies about the past. Perhaps Eve has lied to herself, Awen does not know.
6. Awen makes an attempt to set the record straight, and while she is amused at one level at the straws Eve struggles to grab at, she's irritated too at the animosity and responds to the animosity in kind since that seems to be the response Eve wants in order to reaffirm Eve's self as better than everyone else here.
Awen wonders if Eve will pull up her big girl britches and end the the pissing contest by not responding, or if she'll have to get the last word in, as is her usual custom.
I don't do guilt trips, it's lame I see what's happening here. Don't recall the conversation but I never supported either DT or Bill or their Lolita Express adventures.... grab em on a bus! or on a oval office desk...yuk! the dirty White House people vote for it...why???Anyways here for cheers, cheers me up even if no one else...so thank you for the inspiration to visit Kiffness music and cats...
Date: January 10, 2024 at 03:35:07 From: Awen, [DNS_Address] Subject: Re: Just don't diffuse if you have cats
Not sure what guilt trips have to do with anything, and it was rather obvious from my post that nothing implied you supported Clinton and in fact said the opposite.
If you're not going to bother to read, why do you bother to respond?
Date: January 11, 2024 at 14:43:57 From: Eve, [DNS_Address] Subject: Re: Just don't diffuse if you have cats
I never supported DT or liked him either EVER. I never liked him from the "your'e fired" money money theme. When I had rabbit ears before this worlds government took away analog from us when the commercials came on for that apprentice show he did I rebuked that spirit and changed the channel to PBS as I only got three channels with rabbit ears back when ...now I don't do t.v. at all.
I never supported DT or Clinton or any politician since I have been on these boards. I do wonder and may express here as to why many voted for either or even the current....I may have said something like one is as bad as the other and if complain about the promiscuity of someone on one side and not complain about the promiscuity of one on the side they vote on by choice does not compute to me.
I have not believed in the government of this world since I received an epiphany when visions were given to me in 2002 and realized what this world is and what it is not. That was the same timing that my prayer was answered about the food as well.... I was asking in prayer about many things at the time since 9/11/01 which was when I said to myself I think I am gonna be here when it all goes down. I was told that it will be SOON and so I been watching it all since then the politics, the earth environment, the social environment and so much more. This being so I do avoid reading toxic posts accusing me of something I know I never did like support or like DT and others taking out their blame game over something I was not involved in as if I caused them to have a relapse on purpose or a comment was intended for them to have flashbacks...it's just not my style nor do I want to read about someones outburst at me for something I didn't do and would never intend to do.
mr. bopp may delete this and it's okay I understand... though I want to express my words are concerning health of the mind, of the heart and in physical ways as stress can make health worse and that comes in many forms. I understand but I thought to give response more along the line to why I will not feel guilt for someone else's past experiences that I was not a part of. Maybe you never gave thought to me being abused myself. I have so I know I would not go out of my way to intentionally give someone flashbacks but I think you may have them because of therapy it's designed to keep one coming back to rehash. I don't broadcast any abuse as it's just not me to share that part of history because it's history to me though I have learned from it I have moved on the best I can and rehashing it to me is not healthy.
Basically when I see a post begin sending toxic spirit to me saying I gave you a relapse as if on purpose and blaming me for such and reading more into it than is illogical for the purpose of guilting when I am not guilty that's your issue and not my fault...I don't continue to read it or want to see it and that is the way your post started so that's why I respond as I did with a song that cheered me up and maybe some others here. Why I decided to write this now I guess is because I am feeling a little better physically today as the past few days have had weather and new moon coming on migraines. If you respond I won't read it just because of past history. I have noticed you do this with others on this forum many times it's like you are in a cycle of flashbacks you cannot find a cure for and read things into others responses as intend to personally wound you when I don't see it. I hope you can find a way out of the cycle you are in that will be of benefit to a healthier state of being.
It may be I am composing this also due to incoming solar energies which may later translate to a big solar flare.
Date: January 12, 2024 at 11:14:44 From: Awen, [DNS_Address] Subject: Re: Just don't diffuse if you have cats
Apologies Bopp, also feel free to delete. (And Bopp, I do see a pattern here, if you feel I'm doing more harm than good in the negativity that comes with me, feel free to ban me from posting, might be for the better for me as well...though in that case I hope you look at both sides of the situation here. I don't say this sarcastically, I realize that the conversation isn't healthy).
Whether or not Eve reads, this is more a general defense:
I'll apologize for the carnivore comment, though I'll grant it's half-arsed as I suspect from her initial response to me Eve was trying to provoke a comeback of that nature. If I'm correct about that, then I'm doubly stupid for allowing myself to be provoked.
I hope I'm wrong. I don't want to think that badly of another.
But if Eve hadn't started off on a rampage to attack me for daring to post something that I thought was in keeping with her ideals, then this whole chain wouldn't have happened.
As it is, we're in a catch-22, because I know what she said to me in the past, and I am strongly triggered by people telling me LIES in order to gaslight me. But I honestly think she believes her own lies about not saying them. So in her mind, I suspect she views me as the liar.
I recognize that she's convinced herself, and sees what I post only as slander.
The thing is, I view her posts in exactly the same way. As presumptuous slander. Especially when she rips into not only me but several others here who have attempted to extend an olive branch through normal conversation.
Instead she betrays the very idea of epiphanies and enlightenment, using it as an excuse to bludgeon people. I won't claim that I don't have similar faults, and I am cognizant of the fact that I'm doing something similar here and now. but I won't betray ideas about epiphany and enlightenment as my reasons.
I see it as a blatant ethical wrong.
I will add, that while I try to avoid posting on her threads because this is exactly what happens whenever I post (we get caught in this loop: I will post when I see potentially harmful information being spread accidentally.
I'm sorry to Bopp for the chaos, but I'm not willing to let a lie stand, and Eve isn't willing to let what she perceives as a lie stand.
So, Catch 22.
If she feels herself slandered she's defending herself. And gets deliberately provocative about it.
If I feel myself slandered, I'm defending myself. And I too tend to get irritated and push those buttons right back.
One of the things that most fascinates me lately and I'm really trying to embrace is Buddhism, mindfulness, detachment. I shouldn't care what random strangers on the internet say about me.
But the intellectual lesson and knowledge are entirely resisted by the emotional part, and lies have always brought out the worst reactions in me even when I know the other person has themselves convinced they are speaking truth.
When there is no existing proof either way, each side might believe the same about the other. The closest to an olive branch I can extend here is that just as she has no evidence of her view, there no longer seems to be evidence of mine. Without evidence, all we have are conflicting memories.
And as both philosophy and science show, memories are not always truth, they change for the convenience of the rememberer. While subjectively I'm confident that I'm remembering events more accurately than her, I'll acknowledge the possibility that I'm doing the same as what I suggest she's doing.
Letting go. I know that's the lesson I need to learn, regardless. But knowing that intellectually and convincing myself emotionally....heck just keeping that in mind from one moment to the next...
How do people keep a set goal about behavior/attitude constantly in mind to the point that it becomes habit?
I know many people succeed at this, but for the big things, the consuming things....how?
Also, I do think Eve is exactly on the money about too many therapists here, and it's one of the reasons I no longer bring up certain aspects of my past with therapists: " therapy it's designed to keep one coming back to rehash."
I also wish the same for Eve (and myself) as she's wished for me: " I hope you can find a way out of the cycle you are in that will be of benefit to a healthier state of being."
