[Everything doTERRA] Re: itching from oils and insomnia

I also after a while of using the oils on my back for back pain developed a rash.  We had to back of with the oils for a while and then make sure that they were diluted.  We didn't use as much oil after that and found that by using deep blue rub before it helped to calm the rash also. I hope this will help because I know how bad the itch is.

I've been using 1-2 drops of clove, rosemary, and basil diluted with lots of FCO over my adrenals at night to help with insomnia. It works wonderfully. Before these oils, I would wake up at night anxious and with my brain thinking of many things. I would then be up for at least 2 hours before I could relax and sleep again. With the oils, I sleep through the night. If I do wake up, I am able to relax and go back to sleep. It truly is a miracle for me. I have been using these oils for 3 months. 

The problem is, that in the last few weeks, I get very itchy where I apply the oils the next day. If I use them a few days in a row, I get a raised rash on my arms, legs, and chest that is also itchy. If I stop the oils, the itching stops. 

Can you tell me what causes the itching? Am I just getting sensitive to the oils? I have spot tested each oil neat (except I diluted clove) on my forearm, one at a time, and I get no reaction on my skin at all. 

Can you suggest what other oils I can use to substitute? I'm missing the oils because without them my sleep is terrible. Lavender and Serenity do not help with my sleep. 

I have been taking LLV for several months. I take the PB Assist once a day, and have been for 2 months. I also eat a pretty good diet with no artificial ingredients at all. 

Thank you for your help.
