168 – Herpes Simplex

Here is a quote from the “Reference Guide for Using Essential Oils” by Connie and Alan Higley concerning Herpes Simplex:

“Jean Valnet, M.D., a French physician, recommends a blend of lemon and geranium. Tisserand suggests eucalyptus and bergamot. Dr. Wabner says that a one-time application of either true rose oil or true melissa oil led to a complete remission of herpes simplex lesions. Apply the oil directly on the lesions at the first sign of an out break. (Alternative Medicine – The Definitive Guide, p. 56).”

167 – Depression

What worked wellf for me was Valor. It still does when I get depressed, but I don’t get depressed that often anymore, thank God!! Just a drop or two of Valor every day will do it; simply apply a drop on the soles of the feet after taking a shower and a drop on the wrist and behind the ears as well, like perfume. At first, you may need to apply it more often, if the depression is severe. Everytime you feel like you can’t cope, apply a drop of Valor on the wrists and behind the ears, and inhale profoundly, closing your eyes. It starts working in just a few minutes. It’s just amazing!!

There is a wonderful book by Carolyn Mein, D.C. entitled “Releasing Emotional Patterns With Essential Oils”. This book is available by cutting and pasting or typing the email addresses below in the address line of your email incase you cannot access these sites through this email. www.essentialscience.net and or www.abundanthealth4u.com The cost of this easy read book is $14.95.

In this book it states some of the best oils for Depression are: Hope, Valor, Joy, Lavender, White Angelica, Gentle Baby, Inner Child, Sara, Peace & Calming, Citrus Fresh, Humility and Christmas Spirit.

For issues of being Overwhelmed: layer, Acceptance and Hope, Valor, or Grounding.

For issues of Anger and Hate: Forgiveness, Acceptance, Humility, Release or Joy. Deep-seated anger may also need Helichrysum and /or Valor to have the strength to forgive. (Layer if using more than one blend.)

Rejection: Acceptance layered with Forgiveness.

Whatever, the choice of oils, use them faithfully everyday. Gary Young has said the liver is our “fear factory” everything we feel and also all the toxins our body releases are stored in the liver. So be sure to use Release on the liver and Harmony on the solar plexus area of the body. Valor on the feet, 5 drops on the bottom of each foot 6 days of the week, balances out the energy field of the body.

Nutrition plays a huge
factor in our mental and physical well being so eating all the right foods contributes greatly.

I hope some of this information helps.

Blessings to you and yours,
Linda

In the latest Essential LIfestyle magazine, on Page 35, there’s a Mood Elevating Protocol in the upper right hand corner of the page. Vicki Opfer shared this…as she has in the Yahoo forums also. There was a friend of mine who used it for her depression and she really noticed a difference. One weekend she was busy and forgot to do it. By Monday she wasn’t feeling herself and then she realized that she hadn’t done the protocol over the weekend. She started it again and all was well. She was able to get out of bed more cheerfully and felt like doing something during the day.

Also, the newest person in my organization I met at a Women’s Fair where I had a booth. She won the 5 ml bottles of Joy and Lavender that I had as a raffle. I told her about all the uses for Lavender and then for Joy, I mentioned about putting a drop over your heart in the morning to make you feel Joyous! She called me the next afternoon very excited. She is the director of Human Resources and accounting for one of our state offices….so there is some stress there! She said that usually, by the afternoon, she has tension in her shoulders and sometimes a slight headache. Well, she was driving home from work and she didn’t have the tension or the headache! And, she said, she still had the same stresses that day..so it wasn’t that…it had to be the Joy oil! She purchased the Everyday Oils kit the next day!

The protocol is below for those that might not have the magazine in front of
them:

*Mood Elevating Protocol*

* *

*Valor:* Apply to bottoms of feet or place a single drop on one wrist and hold the other wrist to it for a few moments to balance the entire system.

*Harmony:* Place a single drop over the solar plexus (area above the belly button)

*Joy:* Apply a single drop over the heart.

*White Angelica:* Place a single drop in one hand, rub hands together and brush over the head, face, chest, shoulders, down the body, and right over the clothes as though applying an angelic shield.

The oil I used for depression was lemon on my throat, which would be my thyroid. I wasn’t severely depressed, more like I felt down a lot. But depression does run in my family so I pay attention to how I feel.

The lemon oil made me feel lighter, happier.

Happy oiling,

I have a friend who had a son becoming more and more depressed. She diffused Joy in his room. It helped bring him out of it. I would also use the tree oils, cedarwood, Idaho Balsam Fir, cypress, frankincense, sandalwood. They are very grounding. There is a book available on Abundant Health that a psychologist wrote. He has helped people with depression and bi polar. Dr. Greg Hitter I think is his name. The tree oils are grounding for people and can lift their mood. Diffuse, apply topically, put on a hanky or piece of flannel under the pillow case. Get on Vitamin D as lack of Vit D3 causes depression.

Blessings,

I deal with high-functioning depression constantly. The things I do to keep on track are diffusing. I don’t care what oil I have in the diffuser. It is kept on all the time. Diffusing is vital. Frankincense on the brainstem is marvelous, reading/watching uplifting true stories, (I use the Chicken Soup Series to get cathartic release) IdahoBalsam Fir is an instant up-Stress Away and all the Amazon oils are wonderful. Massage and/or foot treatments for the touch therapy is wonderful.

Nutrition and exericse along with deeper breathing supports the work of the oils. (Eat alkaline and cleanse 1 day a week. Yoga) The 2 things that help me the most are acts of service. One to a human and one to God. If I can focus on someone else just for a simple act it keeps me climbing up. An act of service for God to me means I acknowledge I am His daughter, He loves me and I have great value to Him. I use the oils from the old Feeling’s kit for my meditation/service act to God.

I daily set the intent to share a smile with a stranger. I give thanks for blessings.

I hope the oils can help one who isn’t able to help themselves.

166 – Edema

What has helped my mother who has kidney
problems get rid of excess fluid has been the following:

1 drop each of geranium, juniper, orange and lemon
oils in about 1/4 cup of water or juice, like NingXia Red.
She just did it once a day and each day the swelling was l
ess and by the fourth day there was no edema. This has
worked countless times for her and also for a friend of mine.

No side effects, too.

Be well,
Jeannie

165 – Emphysema

I used Thieves with a hospice client a few years ago.
It helped decrease her coughing and open up her breathing.
The nurse/doctor had used every pharmacological med they
had and nothing worked until this. The nurse became a
believer in oils and we became close friends, him being
opened up for oils for other issues.

163 – Heart Attack

For all you wonderful Oilers,

I want to thank you from the bottom of heart for the information you have posted for us newbies.

Oiling has made such an amazing difference in my hubby’s life since his Heart Attack and ED pre-symptoms that we should have paid attention to. The meds in the first four months along w/exercise did not help him, they caused more damage. (especially his arm muscles became damaged-extreem pain when lifted above his heart)probably from the ‘Simvisatatin’.

He decided to stop that one (since he never had high blood pressure, and began to take the Gary Young Regemin suggestions..one at a time…each month he added one more YLO product. He’s now got more stamina, can feel more energy, not yet strong though, and healthier than ever before.

YLEO’s gave him hope that things would be better. His life can be lived fully and more energized.

This would not be possible if you all did not write your stories here for all to see.

Thank you,
Tammy

162 – Refreshing Sleep

I happened to put some Frankincense around my eyes (on the surrounding bony
parts) one evening before bed, not for any reason, just because. I had the
most wonderful and refreshing sleep, not even getting up once to go to the
bathroom.

I have since tried this a number of times with equal success. Putting the
Frankincense on just before bed gives me an incredible deep sleep each time.

161 – Near Death But Alive And Well

I will share my incredible testimony. I have a beautiful pekingese who was having her 3rd litter of pups. Many months prior to her pregnancy, she had become lazy and lethargic, although her health was excellent. No problems whatsoever! She had 6 pups and was very tired and wore out in the end. After birthing the pups, she became very sick within 24 hours. Upon visiting the vet she had an extreme uterine bacterial infection. Two vets confirmed her probable death offering little if any hope of saving her life. On a Friday (4th of July weekend), she was at the 2nd vet for an over the weekend stay to try to preserve her life. I didn’t have peace about leaving her alone 3 nights in a row so home we came. By 11 pm that night I cried and laid her in my bed by me to die. It seemed hopeless at that point. From 3 pm that Friday afternoon I had started administering every 2-3 hours faithfully the following all over her, back, paws, tummy, uterine area…:

7 drops frankincense
7 drops oregano(target bacteria)
7 drops peppermint (for constant heavy breathing)

all with a v-6 oil to dilute, although she didn’t seem to find any of the oils hot or bothersome. Just a side note, this dog never liked the oils previously but seemed very open to them at this time.

By Saturday morning, she was not well or out of the woods, but was able by herself to walk slowly to another room and lay still again for about 4 hours. No appetite.

Sunday morning, she was 60% better! I had an inspiration to feed her eggs cooked with runny yellow. She lapped that up but would not touch any other food. By that Sunday afternoon, my wonderful dog was tail up, chest out and wagging her butt off and barking up a storm! Hallelujahua!!

By Monday, my dog was like new, no one would ever have suspected a sickness. By all appearances she was completely well. I continued the oils but reduced to every six hours omitting the middle of the night treatment.

OK, here is the kicker. The Lord and the oils healed and restored my dog, but remember she was lazy and tired prior to pregnancy? Well my dog, who by the way is Tiss, within a week began running like a mad cap and playing wildly and profusely with all the other dogs. That was so amazing to me!!! That was so not a coincidence.

My personal thoughts about the oils are this: I knew why the peppermint (breathing), I knew why the oregano(infection), but never knew why the frankincensece. I really think it is responsible for renewing her life better than before. I wonder if it may have reset her nervous system and cleansed her immune system. Just wanted to share in case someone can benefit from Tiss’ testimony.

I truly give God the glory for the power of His precious oils and sparing my lovely Tiss. I have seen cases where too little too late have been the cause of death. This could have been my situation. Regardless of the power of the oils, it could have been too late to redeem her life. I did ask the Lord to spare my dog and give her a long life. He amazingly granted me that and He used 3 precious oils to do the work for Him.

I stand amazed at His greatness and His holy creation! Thank you Lord!

I have enclosed for your viewing pleasure, a picture of my lovely Tiss. Please share this testimony with your friends.

In His healing presence,
Lisa Luneau

160 – Thrush

I know someone who successfully used a drop of Thieves on each nipple, neat.
Hope that helps!

Rose

My sister used lavender on the nipple before feeding it took the thrush
away.

Annalea

I am a current breastfeeding Mom. I have dealt with Thrush by using Frankincense oil. It is very mild to the taste and gentle to the nipples. Apply it neat AT LEAST every time the baby nurses, both before AND after the nursing to both nipples, regardless of use. If there is major soreness wait until the oil is absorbed and then apply Lansinoh Lanolin, also both before and after the nursing. If possible, give the nipples a lot of air (wait to apply the Lansinoh). Wash clothes, bras, breast pads, teethers, toys, everything that could have touched the nipples or the baby’s mouth really well and often. The frankincense oil can be put directly in the baby’s mouth if thrush is really bad. There is hardly any flavor. It can also be applied to the baby’s bottom neat if there is a rash from the thrush. If the mother also has a yeast infection use capsules of Melaleuca Alternifolia inserted into the vagina followed by ClaraDerm spray. Feel free to email me with more questions.

159 – Blisters

I am so grateful to the Young Living products. They are so awesome!

I had fluid filled blisters on my palm and on my ring finger of my right hand on Saturday after doing some outside work… I started putting Rose ointment on it continuously all weekend and by Sunday evening, you could not even tell there had been blisters.

I am sooo grateful. As a massage therapist, i had many clients scheduled this week and had been concerned that it would affect my work. Thanks to YL products, i am working easily.
