Water retention often occurs when the body is too acidic.  Therefore addressing the challenge from that perspective could be the most productive.  What causes our bodies to be acidic?  (SUGAR, CAFFEINE, DAIRY . . . and STRESS)  Eliminating the first three and managing the 4th could have a tremendous positive effect.  Fortunately therapeutic-grade essential oils can assist in stress management.  J

DRINKING MORE WATER can also be quite helpful as the body holds onto water when it is feeling deprived.

NOTE:  “Liquid” is NOT a substitute for WATER!

OCOTEA has been shown to be extremely helpful in balancing the pH.

Citrus oils of LEMON, ORANGE, TANGERINE, and especially GRAPEFRUIT have a diuretic effect upon the body.

LAVENDER & PEPPERMINT

LAVENDER and PEPPERMINT are two of my very favorite oils – and two of the three that I NEVER leave home without.  They are incredibly versatile and can be applied topically, inhaled, massaged into the scalp, or taken internally.

Note:  Peppermint is considered a “hot” oil and may feel warm or cool when applied to the skin.  In addition it is very important NOT to get it near the eyes as it will cause the eyes to water.

LAVENDER

* Stopping bleeding
* Healing wounds
* Preventing bruising (when applied immediately after injury or trauma)
* Sunscreen – especially good when diluted with avocado oil  (I always burned with commercial sunblocks, but I have never burned with lavender and pure organic avocado oil)
* Antihistamine (inhale or take internally in capsules)
* Hair growth (massage into scalp morning and evening)
* Disinfecting wounds
* Calming and relaxing
* Shown to be anti-tumoral, antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-microbial
* Wear as perfume – can be calming for everyone around you
* For insomnia
* For hyperactive children

PEPPERMINT

* Better digestion (rub on abdomen)
* Lower fevers (rub on bottoms of feet and massage head)
* Lower body temperature I very hot weather (rub palms together and rub across back of neck and shoulders)
* Nausea (cup hands over nose and inhale deeply; rub over abdomen)
* Headaches (apply to temples and back of neck; inhale)
* Better focus when studying or working
* Energizing
* Anti-inflammatory
* Relieves pain – especially joint pain and tight muscles  (apply topically)

COLITIS (IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME)
Colitis is an inflammation of the bowel which is also known as irritable bowel syndrome.  The diagnosis is extremely common, and the drugs prescribed may make the symptoms go away temporarily, but they usually return with even greater vengeance.  Colitis is often stress-related, but there is also the digestive component that may need to be addressed.

TRANQUIL and STRESS AWAY essential oil blends are perfect for dealing with stress.  PEACE & CALMING, VALOR, LAVENDER, ROMAN CHAMOMILE, IDAHO BALSAM FIR, and others can be quite effective for reducing stress.

DIGIZE, COPAIBA, PEPPERMINT, and SPEARMINT can assist in aiding the digestive process and eliminating the symptoms of colitis.

It may also be helpful to take INNER DEFENSE and LONGEVITY to combat any infection.  Remember that “it is” always means inflammation, which usually includes “infection”.

LIFE 5 repopulates the “good bacteria” in the intestinal tract so a healthy pH can be maintained.

If it were me, I would do the following:

* STRESS AWAY and/or TRANQUIL 4-6 times daily
* VALOR on ears and bottoms of feet before bed
* INNER DEFENSE 1-2 times daily
* LIFE 5 2-3 times daily at least 1 hour apart from Inner Defense
* Capsules of LEMON essential oil
* HYDRATE the body

Begin cleansing program when inflammation is reduced

PAIN IN LIMBS THAT SEEMS TO “MOVE AROUND”

Hi Jana,

Please do not ever feel as if you are disturbing me with your questions.  There are just some times when I am not able to get back to you as rapidly as I do at other times . . . so you may have to be patient (especially for the next 3 weeks) . . .

Essential oils do not interfere with homeopathic treatment.  However, PEPPERMINT should be used at least 30 minutes apart from the homeopathic remedies. The FRAGRANCE would not have anything to do with whether or not an essential oil would interfere.

Homeopathy is at one end of the spectrum; therapeutic-grade essential oils are at the other end.  Homeopathy employs the energy of the plants.  Essential oils contain the essence of the entire plant itself.  Homeopathy works.  Essential oils usually work faster.

What would I do if it were me?

* My first choice would be to have a RAINDROP THERAPY SESSION or to use the essential oils of the Raindrop Collection on my feet (or the sacrum – the base of the spine.), layering the oils one by one, waiting 2 minutes between oils.
* I would add DEEP RELIEF ROLL-ON as the last oil, rolling it over the sacrum.
* I would continue using the 7 single oils and 2 blends layered on the feet (or sacrum) every day for one week and DEEP RELIEF on the sacrum.  After that, I would use the oils at least one time each week on either the bottoms of the feet or the base of the spine and continue using DEEP RELIEF at least one time each day.

NOTE:  The essential oils of the Everyday Oils Collection contain many oils that may have chemical components that could assist in coming to balance.  FRANKINCENSE and LAVENDER come to my mind first.  In addition, PANAWAY and PEACE & CALMING may be helpful.  COPAIBA may also be effective for pain, and it magnifies the effects of the other oils.

One of the most important dimensions to the healing powers of essential oils is the electrical charges, or in other words, megahertz frequencies, also can be called, radio frequency range, or millions of cycles per second or “Life Force.” (Look at chart A) These frequencies are measurable with properly designed
instruments. Bruce Tainio, of Tainio Technology, has developed sensitive meters to measure
megahertz frequencies or “Life Force.” These Frequencies of essential oils are between 52-320
MHZ. The highest of all known substances is Rose oil at 320 MHZ. By comparison, fresh herbs
measure 20-27 MHZ, dry herbs 12-22 MHZ & fresh produce 5-10 MHZ. Processed or canned foods
measured zero. Another words, there is no life or Life Force in canned or processed foods. They
contain chemical nutrition but not vital frequency nutrition of live fresh foods. Measurements on the
human body found that a healthy person has a frequency around 62-68 MHZ. If a person’s
frequency drops to 58 MHZ, cold symptoms can manifest. Flu symptoms start at 57 MHZ, Candida at
55 MHZ and Cancer can begin when the body falls below 42 MHZ. Dying at 25 MHZ goes to Zero.
Other experiments by Tainio were the effects of coffee. Finding that even holding a cup of coffee
lowers ones frequency by 8 MHZ and that a sip lowers ones frequency by 14 MHZ. But when
essential oils are inhaled after the exposure to coffee, the body frequency restores themselves in less than a minute, but if no oil is inhaled, it can take up to three days for the body to recover from one drink of coffee. Oils that will clear – Rose, Ravensara, Blue Tansy, & Peppermint. One of the most important healing modalities of the oils is their ability to lift our bodily frequencies to levels where disease cannot exist.

Tainio also found that the frequencies of oils are also affected by thoughts. Negative thought lowered the
frequencies of the oils by 12 MHZ while positive thoughts raised them by 10 MHZ. Prayer made an
even greater difference, raising the frequency levels by 15 MHZ. Applying oils in an attitude of prayer,
greatly enhances their effectiveness. Prayer can work without oils, oils can work without prayer,
when both are used together, each increases the power of the other such that their combined ability to
heal is greater than the sum of the two. The intent & righteousness of the person applying the oils, as well as the faith of the receiver, has a great deal to do with the progress for success in healing. We must be clear channels for God’s healing power.

Chart
Electromagnetic Frequencies of Selected Oils
Rose (Rosa damascene) 320 MHZ
Helichrysum (Helichrysum Italicum) 181 MHZ
Ravensara (Ravensara aromatica) 134 MHZ
Lavender (Lavendula angustifola) 118 MHZ
Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annum) 105 MHZ
German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita)105 MHZ
Melissa (Melissa officinalis) 102 MHZ
Juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) 98 MHZ
Angelica ( Angelica archangelica) 85 MHZ
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) 78 MHZ
Galbanum (Ferula Gummosa) 56 MHZ
Basil (Ocimum basillicum) 52 MHZ

Young Living oils. If you don’t know this company, get to know them. They have by far the best facial cleansing system for the face. For women and men. The ART is what I use and it is the ‘end of the rainbow’ for me!

Most all the high end at retail stores, face cleansing systems are FULL, of chemicals. Please ladies, take an honest look at what you are putting on your face. I also take an empty spray GLASS BOTTLE, fill it full of distilled water, add some essential oils to it and use it several times a day, spraying my face. Hydrate, hydrate…

Myrrh essential oil gives my skin a youthful glow and has helped diminish some wrinkles in my forehead. When people try to guess my age they are shocked when I tell them my age. I just add a few drops to my moisturizer and off I go. My skin on my face is so sensitive and it was challenging to find an essential oil that worked well on my face but myrrh did it for me so I encourage people to try differences oils.

Fight wrinkles bravely with Valor!

I have started to apply Valor, mixed with a few drops of olive oil, to my face and throat in the AM and PM before I add any other creams or oils. I also may add a few drops of Frankincense. I have found that those ‘whistle marks’ around my mouth are greatly softened in the AM. Also, my skin in general looks refreshed and rosy.

Take that! You wrinkles!

Face wrinkles and crows feet

I am new to Young Living but am already amazed at what these products do. My face made me look 10 years older, so I began applying Lavender oil. It was applied underneath my eyes, eyebrows, and my crow’s feet. Then I smoothed the lavender around the rest of my face. My crows feet have diminished considerably, and my skin now looks ten years younger! I no longer wear make-up because I feel totally confident in wearing ‘my own face’. It is truly liberating! Thank you Young Living.

Skin tags removed with oregano oil
Author: Michelle Rothwell
Location: Detroit Lakes, MN, United States
Posted: 2010-01-24
I’ve had ugly skin tags for years and found out from my upline that you can remove skin tags with oregano oil.

I do have a warning for those wanting to do this it burns skin. You want to be careful where you put the oil.

The way you do it is tie a piece of thread tightly around the base of the skin tag as close to the skin as possible. Then daily you add a drop of oregano oil onto the skin tag. Depending on how big it is will dictate how long it will take for the skin tag to fall off. Some take a week. Some take two weeks.

What happens to the skin tag is it turns black then falls off never to return again. One thing I was worried about is my skin creates keloids which is scar tissue on the outside of the skin. I was afraid this method would create a keloid scar but it didn’t.
Lemon for skin tags

Having the increase of skin tags under my arms and under the front of my bra I applied lemon oil every morning after showering. Within 2 weeks the tags have gotten smaller and disappeared within 5 weeks. I also used lemon (1 drop) on my dogs skin tags and they also responded in the same manner. Such an easy remedy. I love essential oils.

Frankincense for skin tags

This past month I have been using Frankincense on my skin tags. I have applied it straight, but if your skin is sensitive you might want to dilute it. I apply it once a day. I have seen a reduction in size of tags that I have had for years and new ones just seem to go away in a very short time. When I first tried the oil I didn’t really like the aroma of the oil but now I love it.

I had two skin tags under my arm. I am a massage therapist and wear tank tops in the summer. The skin tags were visible (to me more, I am sure) none the less I wanted them gone!

I used Oregano two times per day each day for about two weeks. They first turned brown then fell off! AMAZING!

Skin tags seem to be a viral infection and respond well to the same protocol as removing moles. One person wrote that applying lemon oil daily to his skin flaps, they dried up and fell off.

Mole protocol, also per the Essential Oils Desk Reference, calls for oils of Frankincense, Geranium, Birch/Wintergreen, Lavender and Oregano, and the blend Melrose.
