Just wanted to let you guys know I use Sandalwood (in jojoba oil) Essential Oil for muscle tightness and it works well!
What other uses for essential oils do you have?

I use Peppermint essential oil and it really seems to help. I add it to my Magnisum Oil.

Lavender for Migraines, headaches, anxiety, insomnia
Peppermint for stomach and gut issues
Peace and Calming for stress and anxiety
I'm into Essential Oils so I could go on forever, but these are the ones I use the most.

Do you just put a little drop on the skin or take them internally, or inhale - or does it depend on what you're using them for?
I also used oregano oil for chronic swollen lymph nodes. I rubbed it directly on the node and it worked. I had to do it several days but it went away for good.

You may inhale them, diffuse them, or put them directly on a specific area, some you can even dilute and drink, or put into capsule form. It depends on what you are using it for. Before taking them internally, make sure you've talked with someone who knows about them before doing that!!!! And check with your dr before taking internally also.
If, for any reason, while using one topically, it should irritate your skin or burn, put vegtable oil on the area and it should stop it.
I inhale, gently, lavender and peppermint alot! I love both of them!

carnation oil...one whiff and I am in the middle of high summer. Normally, scents make me ill, but this one if it is made correctly, reminds me of little pinks or dianthus. I also like just the herb lavender and rosemary. Anything that reminds me of sun and summer.

I use one for a different purpose - as my tick repellent - it's Orange Guard, from oranges - I get the concentrate form, TKO Orange. The latter gets ordered, the former is in healthfood stores and hardward stores.
Put a little in a spray bottle, fill with water and spray on clothing, immediate ground environment, and some lightly rub/mist it on pet fur in addition to what they get at the vet/pet store.

my hous has intermittent mold smell..i am working on remediation but when i wake up to musty smell amd am conjested i put thieves oil in diffuser
i read this will kill mold spores in air
i find my conjestion gets better without meds if i breathe it
i am just a little afraid of if i am doing damage to my body by breathing in the thieves oil...i feel like im doing drugs! and i have never smoked...hope im not hurting myself long term. it does solve the short term congestion and less drugs in my system for that
oh-and i seem to be allergic to lavender...get all itchy and sneezy

kayak, I don't know anything about thieves oil. I've heard good things about it but I don't know what it does when it reacts with mold or if it's okay to breathe this.
Thieves oil alone, I would think would be okay to breathe. I'm sorry you are having to deal with mold issues. It makes me cough, too.
