Does the antibiotic effect of CS become negated by essential oils? If 
peppermint toothpaste can have a negative combination with CS, wouldn't the 
phenols in essential oils hurt the effects of CS??
  Thanks,

  I do not have the answer to this question, but pose additional questions.  
Essential oils can be applied as aromatherapy or placed neat on the body or 
clothing.  If peppermint toothpaste can have a negative effect with CS, as you 
stated, I would wonder that peppermint applied neat to the body or via 
aromatherapy might produce a negative combination as well?

  A few nights ago, I applied a few drops of CS to a ceramic candle diffuser, 
along with a few essential oils and dispersed for my sick daughter.  The aroma 
was much stronger than it normally is and I attributed this to the CS.  
Wondering if heating it destroys it?
