Using Essential Oils

frankincense

A note forwarded by Frances

Many thanks to Vicki Opfer for sending the following information which explains why frankincense and the citrus oils are so effective against cancer.

Frankincense is about 12% limonene, and you can find the information
on the limonene research abstracts in Greater Joy’s archives. Limonene
is a plant molecule that has been observed to not only inhibit cancer,
but also to regress it…

This miraculous molecule, and others within the plants that work with
it synergistically, may be giving us this fabulous healing effect.

Scientists often look to nature for healing effects in plants. They
isolate the molecule that seems to be producing a certain effect.
Next they synthetically create a similar molecule which becomes a
drug, and which they can get a patent on. (You cannot get a patent on
natural plant molecules.)

Unfortunately, when a molecule is isolated from the plant, it becomes
somewhat toxic to us. When it is synthesized (created in a lab
synthetically) , in order to create pharmaceutical drugs for the
specific result, it becomes even more toxic and often comes with a
legal sized sheet of side effects. (You can ask your pharmacist for
the insert, which lists side effects, for any drugs you are taking.)

So it is much more preferable to use the whole plant, or the whole
essential oil of the plant, rather than an isolated molecule.

Therapeutic grade essential oils (as opposed to industrial grade oils
or synthetically produced fragrances) contain a balanced and complete
molecular profile. That’s why we get such amazing results. And they
are safe and non-toxic to us.

Frankincense has been observed throughout history to help the body’s
immune system alleviate cancer. Its limonene content may be a crucial
factor. The citrus oils, like orange, grapefruit, lemon, etc., are
mostly limonene (often 90-95%), with a few other supporting molecules.

In order to replicate the amount of limonene used in the research
studies that show regression of cancer, one would have to take 10 ml
of orange oil a day, internally. This is about 12-14 “00″ capsules.

If someone is in a cancer treatment program, they need to speak with
their oncologist about adding citrus oils or frankincense to what they
are already doing. They may want to share the limonene information
with the doctor, as many physicians are not aware of this research.

We are definitely in the pioneering phase of this work, and it’s
exciting to be a part of it!

Have a wonderful day!
Vicki

HIGH FEVER EXPERIENCE

Many thanks to Angie for sharing her experience using therapeutic-grade essential oils for her daughter . . .

Hi Frances,
I’d like to share with you how the oils have helped my daughter who suffered from very high fever a week ago.

She came home last Monday afternoon feeling very weak.  I took her temperature and it was around 38.5 C.  I quickly gave her a drop of THIEVES oil to drink with some juice.  I then massaged some Thieves on the bottoms of her feet.  It was the only oil I had at that time. Then I started cooling her down with some cool towels. Her temperature went down a little bit and she was able to rest.  When night time came, her temperature shot up to 39.5 C. I did the same things I did earlier again, massaging the oil on the bottoms of her feet and then letting her drink a drop in her juice.  Tuesday was pretty much the same with her fever going up and down until I got my first box of Everyday Oils in the evening. Since her fever was still high, I massaged PEPPERMINT on the bottoms of her feet for the fever to go down. I also massaged some Peppermint on her body mixed with some massage oil.  I still continued putting Thieves and letting her drink up to four doses a day.  I also included NINGXIA RED for her to drink three times a day mixed with a little water and a few drops of LEMON oil.  The water that I let her drink all day was also mixed with some Lemon Oil.  Since she complained of a sore throat, I started massaging her back and chest with some EUCAPYPTUS BLUE.  By Wednesday afternoon, her fever started going down.  I continued doing the same things until her fever was completely gone. I’m so happy that I didn’t have to take her to the doctor for some medicine. The oils did the work.

Now that she is better, I still massage Thieves Oil on the bottoms of her feet as well as my sons, husbands and mine too. Since I received my NingXia Red shipment, the whole family takes it everyday. I know my family’s health is just going to get better and more protected from whatever germs or viruses are lurking out there.
Love and Light,
Angie
NOTE:  Angie’s daughter is 12 years old.  Frances

IMMUPOWER

Immupower is a blend which is used topically and contains a number of oils not found in Inner Defense capsules.  I consider Immupower the “magic bullet” – the thing that will eliminate really stubborn infections, both viral and bacterial.  It has been totally amazing for both me and my daughter for chronic respiratory infections.

IMMUPOWER blend contains hyssop, ravensara, clove, mountain savory, frankincense, cumin, cistus, oregano, Idaho tansy
NOTE:  DILUTE with V6 Vegetable Oil Complex if applying topically other than on the bottoms of the feet.

Cistus (Cistus ladanifer)
enhances immunity and immune cell regeneration. It is anti-infectious,
antiviral, and antibacterial.

Frankincense (Boswellia carteri)
Stimulates the hypothalamus and pituitary to amplify immunity.

Oregano (Origanum compactum)
Is one of the most powerful antimicrobial essential oils. Laboratory research
as Weber State University showed it to have a 99% kill rate against in vitro
colonies of Streptococcus pneumoniae, a microorganism responsible for many kinds of lung and throat infections. Oregano is antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic.

Idaho Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare)
Is antiviral, anti-infectious, antibacterial, and fights colds, flu and
infections.
According to E. Joseph Montagna’s Herbal Desk Reference, tansy tones the
entire body.

Cumin (Cuminum cyminum)
Amplifies immunity and DNA repair. It is antiseptic, antibacterial and
anti-inflammatory.

Clove (Syzygium aromaticum)
Is one of the most powerful antioxidants of all essential oils. Prevents
antioxidants of all essential oils. Prevents cellular DNA damage. It is also strongly anti-microbial and antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal.

Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis)
Has anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties and is also antiparasitic,
mucolytic, a decongestant, and it anti-infectious.

Ravensara (Ravensara aromatica)
Is referred to by the people of Madagascar as the oil that heals. It is
antiseptic, anti-infectious, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal.

Mountain Savory (Satureja montana)
Is immune stimulating, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic.
It is excellent for HIV, Herpes, etc. and back ailments (lumbago, scoliosis, etc.)

BAD DREAMS

BAD DREAMS

Having VERY disturbing dreams to the point of fearing going to sleep? Use Dream
Catcher #3330 and Peace & Calming #3393 every night and never put them on in
the same place. Dreams become very calming, and by far, less disturbing. For
children: diffuse, directly inhale, add 2-4 drops to bath water or put 4-8 drops
on cotton ball and place by vents or bedside (out of reach).

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
