VCO is great but liquifies as soon as it gets on the skin and absorbs quickly. It would need to be something that remains solid to protect the skin from hot oils like lemongrass but still allows the oil to be absorbed through it.
Vaseline does do this, but I would rather not use it.
For a natural version of 'vaseline or shortening' try virgin coconut oil :-)

I was doing the lemon, lavender, peppermint (2drops each) in a shot glass of water or capsule about every 20 minutes when my sinus infection was bad. I worked my way down to once a day and then nothing. You will get better!Have a healthy day!Erika Tenney, C.H.L.C."The body weeps the tears the eyes refuse to shed."-- Donald Epstein, D.C.I have been taking a capsule with 2 d each oregano, melaleuca, onguard and wild orange three times a day. This would wear off in 2 to 3 hours, so for the last 2-3 days I have been taking this when my nose starts to drip, which would be 4 to 5 times a day. The mucus is basically clear, and much less than it has been. So I am guessing that I either needed more than 2 d each oil per capsule or needed it more frequently. Anyway, I am encouraged. I have had this sinus infection for a couple months.Thanks for your help.--

Even Eucalyptus should help this.But it does sound like you have some infection so maybe a capsule with equal drops (4-5) or oregano, melaleuca, onguard, wild orange, and take it three times a day.

Pat, I have tried layering Breathe, rosemary and lime on my sinuses, but my skin turns bright red. Should I take these in a capsule or on bottoms of feet?My neighbor told me to put something thick like shortening or Vaseline on my skin first, and then apply the oils. Is there something more "natural" I could use like this?
