I have spearmint, peppermint, and other herbs growing in my yard.
A fresh sprig, nicely crushed behind my machine--nice.
All natural: does it mean all herb, or all plant; weed, ?
Certified organic could also mean I added a little garlic.

Lazer: There's plenty around here thriving in public right-of-ways,
but I think they let it grow only to catch tourists trying to harvest it.
I actually don't much like the scent of it.

True, unless one likes the smell of burning leaves....

In children, the ingestion of Eucalytus has been shown to trigger seizures. There is a huge difference between ingestion and inhilation, or is there, that is the unanswered (as far as I know) question. ON THE OTHER HAND, Inam a 61 stage 4 Cancer Survivor so Compliance with CPAP is THE CENTRAL ISSUE FOR ME. I put a dropper drop or two on a cotton ball near the airintake, and when I am not using the humidifier I drop it in the empty tank (heat off). The eucalyptus seems to help keep my nose from itching and keeps the passages open AND SO IMPROVES MY CPAP COMPLIANCE TO 100% of nights. Plus I feel I sleep better. In conclusion, I would NEVER use campfor/eucaplytus for small children. Yes my Mom slathered on the Vicks Vapor Rub back in the day but I would not do it now.

Hmmm, garlic may not be soothing, but it would keep the vampires away.

I always put a bay in my water tank one a week.
