160 – Thrush

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

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

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.

158 – Infection

We bought the Thieves package and I had a terrible sore throat and conjestion coming into my lungs (I have been diagnosed with COPD) I started dropping to drops of thieves on a small piece of bread and eating it three times a day and the infection is gone!!!! I do not want antibiotics since I know what they can do to us. I took too many of them while I was young. Now with the swine flue scare I am so glad to be using the oils!!! We are big believers in the Young Living oils and are stocking up for the winter. My granddaughter was in Nursing school two years ago and they were supposed to bring in the things they use to kill germs and she took in the Thieves and it killed the bacteria better than any of the other germ killers brought in for the experiment.

I could go on and on but I thank the group for letting me crow. Is anyone in the Adirondack Mountains doing the Young Living oils? I would love to have a group to connect with. Anyway this group here at ygroups is awesome and very uplifting and informative.

157 – Sciatic Nerve Damage

Hello, I was so excited to be able to share what happened to my husband!

He had a back injury a year ago and has had nerve damage to his sciatic nerve and for over a year he has been on strong pain killers because the pain and swelling went down into his right foot and it seemed to get worse. He had an operation on the back to clean out the area around the nerve but after the operation the foot kept swelling and the pain was still pretty bad. He gained alot of weight around his waist and when he went out to work around our Cabins which we run for our retiremment and take alot of work and upkeep, he would come in with his foot swollen and pain unbelievable.

He decided to try to get off the pain killers and fight this with oils, so he started using Relieve it on the bottom of his foot and around all the points that are recommended in the desk reference and it has been two weeks and he is now putting on deep relief roll on and he is 99 % better and we are shouting it to the world. He is loosing his stomach and has gone 2 notches less in his belt and is almost pain free.

156 – Pain Relief

Over Memorial Day, DH hyperextended his left knee. He used oils, elevated the knee, ice and heat appropriately applied and within 4-5 days, was able to function again. However, he had a sharp, nagging pain at the medial aspect of the knee joint which greatly concerned us. Not wanting to pursue the Western medical model, he continued applying oils for the pain and wore an elastic knee brace. He LOVES the Deep Relief Pain Rollon!!

One day as I was praying intently for answers, COPAIBA (Essential Oil) came to mind and I suggested he try it. Well……that day he had relief of the pain and after 4 days, told me his knee was “95%.” GOOD NEWS!! A couple days after this, the COPAIBA bottle was empty and the pain returned so we were happy when the Essential Rewards order arrived with a new bottle of this wonderful new oil that’s so effective for pain. He’ll continue to use it and other holistic modalities and expect complete healing of his knee.

A dear friend sprained her ankle and was in severe pain. She ace-wrapped her ankle, elevated it, used ice and YL Wintergreen oil. Weight-bearing was extremely painful but an x-ray was negative for fracture. I gave her a tiny bottle of COPAIBA oil diluted 1:1 with V-6 and she experienced immediate relief of her ankle pain on day 4 and was able to walk normally by day 5. She told me “that little bottle of oil was worth it’s weight in gold!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
So…..we’ll always have a bottle of COPAIBA (Essential Oil) nearby for pain relief and share that information with family and friends!

Gratefully,

155 – Trigeminal Neuralgia

Posted from “GREATER JOY”

I have Trigeminal Neuralgia. I have had it for about 12 years and have taken a variety of pharmaceuticals in an effort to control the pain. I was amazed how well the essential oils helped! My pain is not “cured,” but it certainly is less intense and less frequent. I use Cistus and Peppermint when my pain is intense. I use Aroma Siez whenever I experience tension which tends to be a precursor of my intense pain.

This past weekend, I was attending a business seminar and I somehow forgot my oils. Someone else at the seminar just happened to be a YL distributor and had “Relieve It” roll-on with them. I used it and within two minutes, my pain was gone. The pain returned about every four hours, but the “Relieve It” roll-on did relieve it so very quickly each time I had to use it.

I do not have the high blood pressure or pace maker that your client has, but I do take thyroid medication. My medication is Westhroid. You might want to check with someone more experienced than I am (I have been a rep. for only 3 months.) to see about any interactions between the oils that I use and her medications and her pacemaker.

I do hope this helps you.

I am anxious to see what suggestions other people might give you so that I can try them also!

Abundant Blessings and Care,

154 – Stroke

From post on “PINEHILLGROUP”

I have had 9 strokes in the past 20 years. It goes along with Lupus apparently. So the first thing I do is take a tsp of cayenne pepper in water to stop the bleeding. The second thing I do is start rubbing Idaho Balsam Fir and Frankincense in the roof of my mouth and on the parts of my head that hurt. I use RutaVala along with the Frankincense. The trick is to bring the inflammation down off the brain as soon as you can and bring in more O2. So it is important to put the oils in frequently like every minute or every 5 minutes. This last one in Colorado Springs was a little worse then the others because of the lack of oxygen in the air. So I had paralysis of the throat along with the loss of the arm, short term memory loss and severe stuttering. Usually I get my arm back within a few days and my speech completely back in a few weeks.This time it took a few months for the speech. This time it took out my ability to concentrate, think, etc. So I just kept
up the oils in my mouth and on my head. I also forced myself to think. At first I could only read. Then I began to be able to do math. I did all kinds of math problems. Then I did logic problems. Then I took piano lessons to coordinate the left and right hemispheres of the brain again. I listened to lots of music to get the pitch back into my ears that I lost. It was probably 6 months before I felt like I had recovered about 95% of what I lost. So if anyone has heard me on my radio show, I am doing pretty good. I still have stuttering problems if I get to tired.

That’s about it for what I do. I am consistent and keep those oils in my pocket and used them constantly throughout the day. Did they taste good? No, but I would rather have the function of my body back then worry about something nasty I am putting in my mouth.

Yours in health,

Dr. LeAnne Deardeuff, D.C.

153 – Hemorrhoids

My mom had a bad hemorrhoid problem and my dad told
her to put…are you ready for this?…Oregano on them!
So she did! She said that she had never had anything burn
so bad in her life! Every time she would sit down that day,
it would start to burn again…but that was 4 years ago and
she has not had a problem since! She said in the long run,
it was worth the pain!

On a side note, I also used oregano to get rid of a
stubborn pimple. Burned like fire but that bad
dude was gone in like 2 hours!

Hope this helps!

I had a friend who had excellent relief by adding several
drops of Melrose to some animal ointment and applying
at night before bedtime.

I use Animal Scents on mine. I was on a trip when I had a flair up
and it was the only thing I had. It worked fine so I have just
continued when needed.

God Bless,

152 – Broken Knee Cap

Six months ago, I slipped on black ice and my left knee cap took a direct hit and broke cleanly in half, horizontally.

During all this time, I sipped water all day long in conjuntion with taking 5 drops daily of Frankincense in a capsule for the broken knee cap and applying Gentle Baby, or Lavender and or Helichrysum topically on the knee area to help with diminishing scar tissue. This past Thursday, I went to the hospital and under anesthesia, the surgeon did a knee manipulation to pull through the remaining scar tissue I couldn’t conquer through rehab. The surgeon said upon first application of pressure in manipulation, all the scar tissue gave way at once and with ease. He was amazed. I attribute the solid healing of my knee cap bone and pulling through scar tissue with minimal effort to Young Living Essential Oils and I cannot say enough good about this. I cannot thank Gary Young enough for all he has given us and so many through Young Living Essential Oils. My prayers of thanks are constant.

I would like to encourage anyone dealing with shoulder injuries and or joint and bone injuries of any kind and scar tissue to persevere with the above oils. They are so healing and incredibly beneficial to the circumstances. Please know, anyone on blood thinners should not take Helichrysum. It will counteract the blood thinners. Also, when bones break and scar tissue forms, bones cannot be manipulated until the bones have healed first, otherwise they are subject to rebreaking in the presence of a manipulation.

In all this time and immediately after the knee cap manipulation this past week, I have never had any pain inbetween rehab and none after manipulation under anesthesia. No matter one’s ailment, use the oils! They aid you in countless ways you can’t begin to count.

With thanks and gratitude, I remain oilingly grateful.

Take care and be well.

Blessings.

151 – Restless Leg Syndrome

I have had restless leg for about 12 years. Two things have really helped me.
The first is to take a good calcium and magnesium supplement. I have found I
must take this on an empty stomach (usually in the morning and at bedtime
or when watching a movie). The second is a mixture of 12 drops Roman
chamomile, 8 drops lavender and 6 drops helicrysum in an ounce of massage
lotion. I use biotone dual purpose, but I think you can use anything. I
rub this on my legs when they give me extra trouble making sure to put
some on the bottom of my feet. (Good way to get the oils into the blood
stream quickly.) Usually works like a charm and lasts quite a while
before I have to mix up a new batch. Keep it in a dark drawer or out of
the sun and light. Hope this helps,

Warm regards,

Therese’ Chenoweth
