Okay, I am not a health nut but neither am I one to pass up something natural over medications. While doing some research on how to get rid of cigarette smoke out of a house (long story, but my grandmothers house that I have been remodeling is full of not only cigarette smoke, but some other smells as well), I came across something called "Thieves Oil". Not only can it get rid of smells, but it is actually a natural antiviral/antibacterial oil. As I have aged, I seem to be getting allergies and it affects my eyes really bad. My eyes look like pink eye, although not contagious, but get blood red and I can't focus without extreme pain. And this can last for a long time unless I get some steriod eyedrops. And this happens very often. So when I read about the thieves oil, I had an aha moment. Maybe I can use this to help prevent some of my allergies, at least the inflammation.
Has anyone else heard of this stuff? What are your thoughts? I figure if it helps the allergy eyes and I don't have to make a trip to the doctor, it will be worth it.
BTW.....it really has gotten the smoke smell out of the house. Not covering up the smell.....gets rid of. I just got my brother a diffuser and some of the oil....he smokes in the house and I think this will help his apartment smell better.
