A simple example is when I get tired of using lemon in my water, I switch over to another citrus - orange, grapefruit, lime. My tastebuds have lemon fatigue, and I figure it's likely from my body saying "we have all the lemon we need right now, try something else."

I don't fight it, he's still benefiting from having essential oils in his body, period.
