cilantro eo

Quaixeman wrote that he rubs cilantro esential oil into his neck and
tail bone. I'd just like to point out that any EO should be diluted before
applying to the body, as otherwise there is some risk of sensitization. Once
senstitization occurs, it is for life and the person will react intensely to
even the smallest amount of the substance.
Some EOs are more noted sensitizers than others, but ANY EO can be a
sensitizer. It is not worth the risk, and it's also totally unecessary, as EOs
are so very concentrated. 10% is a good dilution.

Although I know in this country (U.S.) they always suggest diluting
EO's, I have always used them neat. My skin can't stand the extra
oil, of any kind, for me to use them regularly, when all I need is a
few drops. Been doing it for years, and of all the many things I am
allergic to, that has never been one of them. Of course you need to
be careful with certain ones in certain areas, but the soles of your
feet are a great place to start if you're not certain about one.

(I also suspect no matter how pure most claim to be, that they are
not near as concentrated as one is led to believe.) Young Living's
oils are the best I've used, although they do cost more, but give the
results you look for more easily.

I'm willing to keep an open mind. I have not studied oils. I just
had such a good responce to cilantro and the juicing was having some
side effects. Nothing major. Just using it in combination with my
sauna was giving my skin a bad odor. (As I later found out I could
produce the same bad odor by rubbing it on my skin and going into the
sauna). It was just so much easier to rub it on my skin that to
juice it as I was getting tired of the juicing and cleaning the
juicer everyday. If I could get some of the same results with the
oil that was preferable to me. It is the only essential oil that I
use. I would be willing to read any studies done by responsible
people that show a sensitivity. Or for that matter, just to hear
about any anecdotal evidence or testimonies of people who think they
became sensitive to essential oils.
