BOOOORRRRRRRRIIIIIINNNNNGGGG - I miss the clown already. It's kinda of like an ammonia inhaler.

And the many layers of the onion just keep on peeling...

Maybe I'll just keep switching it back and forth. I love clowns, so I could keep this going for days.

Do clowns use essential oils?

(You see what I did there?)

LOL I'm sure of it!

This has been an interesting read. I was just thinking about diffusing something in my office, because after eight whole days on the job I'm sick. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.

I suppose, though, I'll just stick to good old hand washing & disinfectant wipes.

It's not like ths stuff is witchcraft, lol did no one read my post at the bottum of of the lage, two pages back? (Honestly, I kind of don't blame you, it was kind of long. Still, it took a while to type out on an iphone, so I'd appreciate it if you guys read it :wacky: ). I'm not saying that it is definitive stuff, but it's still science people, therefore it warrants keeping an open mind.

Our hospital uses some citrus extracts/oils to help with unpleasant smells or to put on your mask if you're in a really gnarly code brown; we also used them on towels in the OR for necrotic bowel cases. They aren't the new trendy stuff; been using them for years. Overall I think it does the best job of masking the smell of vomit; other smells, not so much.
On the floor, sometimes they work great, but mostly I think they just make the whole place smell like shittrus. [ATTACH]20394[/ATTACH]

When I was in middle school, were warned that using deodorant only helps if you are showering regularly. The example give was applying perfume to a can of spoiled tuna

I'm a little confused. Based on your profile you are a nursing student. Do you already have the BSN?

Also, about your comment. I would love to hear about the basis for the use of these oils. While I was doing my capstone project I had to sit through a massage therapy professor's lecture on healing, and she discussed the use of humors and the like for healing in a matter that really ribbed me wrong. No actual data presented, and a lot of medical shaming.

His profile also includes a blurb stating he's currently a massage therapist in school to become a BSN.

Not really sure what that had to do with his post though. Most massage therapists I know incorporate oils into their treatments. It's quite lovely.

Nah, his name is cool. I would say that MTtoBSN means he's becoming a BSN. Where he will learn about real science.

Thanks for the clarification

I enjoy using them for myself on occasion but I would never expect to see a nurse handing them out. (hospital CNA)
