Yes, I use them. Homemade vapor rub!
http://trainingupkaitlyn.blogspot.com/2011/01/homemade-vapor-rub.html
I love using oils! I am a distributor for Young Living..and use them in homemade cleaners...laundry...and body care (scrubs and face masks so far)♥
I use lavender and rosemary all the time. Sometimes I burn them (lavender if I need calming; rosemary if I need to be concentrating), other times I add them to hair and skin preparations that I use regularly. I'm also a fan of making my own herbal teas from fresh herbs that I grow and capturing the essential oil that way.
Just a word of warning: some essential oils shouldn't be used by pregnant or lactating women, and some (so I've read) can be dangerous if inhaled by baby. It just pays to do the research. I believe lavender is one of the safest and the only one that can be applied straight to the skin which is why I originally chose it - that plus I love the scent of lavender.
