Using Essential Oils

By Frances Fuller

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

From YL’s newsletter:

Angela Meredith submitted the following tip:

“Our children got a hold of a can of black spray paint and decided to color our brand new white minivan. The sides of the van and the front were covered in black when we found them. We used a pressure washer and scrub brushes and nothing was working—it was just putting scratches in my new van! As I stood there, I said to my husband, “Hey, why don’t we try lemon essential oil?” His reply, “Yes, go get it!” So, we started shaking lemon oil all over the sides of the van and with one soft wipe, the black paint came off! I cannot explain my relief. We also ended up using orange and tangerine also because that’s what we had on hand. And, my van was the best smelling van on earth.”

Todd and Olivia Couture share their experience with their daughter with a nagging cough using PanAway.

We wanted to share with you (and our team) an experience we had this week with PanAway. Our youngest daughter had a nagging cough (most likely due to all the allergens in the air at this time in Florida) that would wake her up around 4:00 A.M. Not fun for any of us! One time my wife put Peace & Calming on her chest and that helped a little. The next night/morning it was my turn. Because she did go to sleep coughing and because it seemed like a little fit of coughing that just wouldn’t stop, I thought her “cough” muscles must be getting into spasm.

Then I remembered that some of the oils in PanAway are anti-spasmodic. So, I put several drops of V-6 on her chest first and then rubbed on about 3 drops of PanAway. Then I went to back to bed. After about a minute her coughing stopped and she slept through until the morning! How grateful we are to have these oils!

Thanks for all you do.

Best Regards,

Todd & Olivia Couture

I just wanted to post this to help anyone who has a child with a very deep cough. My 10 year old boy woke up with a croupy sounding cough and could hardly speak. He sounded terrible. My Breathe Again was out at a friends. I read that Pine oil dilates the bronchial tubes. I didn’t have any Pine, so I reached for the Evergreen Essence I got years ago. This blend has lots of different pines in it so we used it on the bottom of both of his feet. WOW-within 2-3 minutes the child was breathing clear and speaking as if there had never been anything wrong! It was quite impressive.

My Grandaughter, Kimberlee had a cough that wouldn’t quit. No-one could get any sleep. So I decided to have her gargle with NingXia Red and just hold it in the back of her throat for a while, then let her slowly swallow it. Her coughing stopped and she slept the rest of the night with only coughing once after that. Also if Kimberlee and Katie have a cough or runny nose when they come to visit. I tell them you know what that means don’t you? And they say yup. We all head for the fridge to get NingXia Red with 2-3 drops of Exodus II in and that clears it up over night.
