What to do? (COLDS)



If you have symptoms:
1.      Make 00 size capsules of 8 drops oregano, 5 drops on guard and 3 drops frankincense.  Then take the capsules internally twice daily.


2.     Gargle twice daily with 1 drop oregano, 2 drops on guard, and 2 drops lemon in 1 or 2 tbsp of pure water.  After gargling for 5-10 seconds, swallow the mixture.


3.    Oil pull daily with 1 tbsp carrier oil, 2 drops oregano, and 2 drops melaleuca.  Pull for about 10 minutes before expectorating the blend. Then brush your teeth and rinse out your mouth.  This mixture may be hot.  If it’s too hot, reduce the oregano to 1 drop and add a drop of lemon.  You can also consider cinnamon, cassia or On Guard instead of melaleuca.


4.    Always put lemon and peppermint in your drinking water and drink it often.  Staying hydrated is an important part of assuring the oils work effectively in our bodies.


5.      Consider other protocols for specific symptoms.  Breathe to the chest, neck and back for respiratory issues, DigestZen (often in a capsule with frankincense) for nausea or digestive problems.  Oregano or cinnamon and lemon as a gargle for sore throats.


6.     Make sure the oils you have are doTerra essential oils. Why?  They are guaranteed to be sourced from the area’s in which the are indigenous to. They are organically grown.  Harvested by correct methods and at the correct time.  Distilled by professionals at the correct temperature and pressure. Finally each batch is tested by independent labs for correct constituents content to guarantee efficacy.  These methods are key to insuring safety and effectiveness.


7.    Diffuse the air that you are working, living and sleeping in.  If you are suffering from symptoms, consider oils and blends that will help.  If you are trying to quarantine areas of healthy air, diffuse on guard.

Oil pulling Therapy STEP BY STEP

Step1: First thing in the morning on an empty stomach and before drinking any liquids (including water), pour exactly one tablespoon of sunflower or sesame oil (or whatever oil you have chosen) into your mouth.

Step 2:

Swish the oil around in your mouth without swallowing it. Move it around in your mouth and through your teeth, as if it was mouthwash (don't tilt your head back to gargle though). You'll find that the oil will start to get watery as your saliva mixes with it. Keep swishing.If your jaw muscles get sore while swishing, you're putting too much into it. Relax your jaw muscles and use your tongue to help move the liquid around the inside of your mouth. When you do this correctly, you'll feel very comfortable. Pretty soon, it will become second nature.

Step3:

As the end of the oil pulling session approaches, you may notice the oil/saliva mixture in your mouth has become thicker. This is quite normal, since it is pulling out toxins from your body.When 20 minutes is up, spit out the oil into the toilet. Don't be alarmed if it looks yellowish--this is also normal.

Step4:

Rinse out your mouth a couple of times with warm water and spit into the toilet. Rinse and spit with a good mouthwash. I prefer to dilute with water (or use full strength), regular hydrogen peroxide and I rinse and spit with that. The hydrogen peroxide is very effective in rinsing out any toxins which may be left in the mouth.

Step5:

Rinse out your mouth a couple of times with warm water and spit into the toilet. Rinse and spit with a good mouthwash. I prefer to dilute with water (or use full strength), regular hydrogen peroxide and I rinse and spit with that. The hydrogen peroxide is very effective in rinsing out any toxins which may be left in the mouth.

Stinging Nettle


Last night we went hiking and my husband brushed up against some stinging nettle. It's a plant that has many hollow stinging hairs called trichomes on its leaves and stems, which act like hypodermic needles that inject histamine and other chemicals that produce a stinging sensation when contacted by humans and other animals. The leaves and stems are very hairy with non-stinging hairs and also bear many stinging hairs (trichomes)), whose tips come off when touched, transforming the hair into a needle that will inject several chemicals: acetyl-choline, histamine, 5-HT or serotonin, and possibly formic acid. 
Nasty plant that you really don't want to brush up against. I had my travel sized oils with me. To be honest I take them with me hiking and biking. I pulled out peppermint and lavender. He had two spots. I tried peppermint on one and lavender on the other. He said the peppermint provided instant relief and the lavender worked too, just not as fast. I love the oils. All was good and we hiked on.

Melaleuca (tea tree oil)

About Melaleuca:
Melaleuca oil or tea tree oil, (TTO) as it is often referred, was named by Captain Cook who often used it as a tea. An Australian chemist, A.R. Penfold, studied tea tree leaves and discovered their antiseptic properties. Tea tree oil subsequently became a standard treatment in Australia for the prevention and treatment of wound infections. During World War II, the Australian government classified tea tree oil as an essential commodity and exempted producers from military service.  Melaleuca has been documented to kill many bacteria, viruses, and fungi on contact so it is excellent for cuts, wounds, burns, and anywhere that bacteria might be found. It has a historical use as an antiseptic for the face, skin disorders including acne, and dandruff.  It is effective to use at the onset of flu and cold symptoms.  Will reduce gum inflation and is used for periodontal disease.  DōTerra Melaleuca Essential Oil is from the botanical family Myrtaceae, with the oil being processed by steam distillation from the leaf of the tree.

Typical Applications:
Apply topically and neat (undiluted) to wounds, cuts, bites, fungus, athletes foot, skin disorders, and less severe burns.  Also apply neat to address fungal issues.  Use a carrier when applying to more sensitive areas, especially the genitals for herpes or thrush.  It can be applied neat or with a carrier to the face and neck for skin disorders.  Add a 5% dilution to shampoo to address dandruff problems.  Gargle or oil-push a 5% dilution of melaleuca to effectively address mouth and gum problems.  Melaleuca is an excellent anti-bacterial, effective against virus and supports the immune system when diffused.

I have used Melaleuca on insect bites, ring worm, lacerations, and most recently an earache. My husband started complaining about ear pain and said he was going to Instacare. I thought it must be bad if he's going there. I asked him if we could just try the Melaleuca Oil for a day and if it didn't do anything then go ahead and go to the doctor. I applied the oil all around his ear and then a few drops on some cotton and put the cotton in his ear. I didn't stuff it in there just placed it in softly. His ear ache went away within a day and a half.

doTERRA Wild Orange
























Wild Orange
Cistus Sinensis

Caution: Avoid direct sunlight for up to 12 hours after use on skin.
Wild Orange Oil is extracted through cold expression from the rind of the fruit because the medicinal properties of the rind have been used for centuries for a digestive tonic in Asia and Europe. The Early Chinese believed that the scent of Wild Orange Oil would create an atmosphere for “Good Luck” to walk in the door and bring prosperity for the whole family. In18th Century Europe, Orange Oil gained a reputation for alleviating nervous disorders, heart problems, colic, asthma, and melancholy.

Anti-Inflammatory, Anti-Depressant, Anti-Spasmodic, Aphrodisiac, Anti-Septic,
Carminative, Diuretic, Tonic, Sedative, Detoxifier of glands and tissues, Anti-Cancer,
Wound Healer, good for maintaining a healthy, smooth and glamorous skin, ant and fly repellent. Reported to heal mouth ulcers and gingivitis. It also soothes painful muscles and joints.

Being a carminative means being an agent that helps removal of gases from the
Intestines. Gas, forming in intestines and pushing upwards, can be very troublesome. Gas, being lighter, moves upwards and pressures the internal organs, causing chest pains, indigestion and uneasiness, raises blood pressure, and can give you a serious stomach ache. Wild Orange Oil relaxes the muscles so the gas can escape and then creates an atmosphere where gas is less likely and spasms are eliminated.

Being a diuretic means that Wild Orange Oil can help in motivating urination to make toxins like uric acid, bile, excess salts, pollutants, and excess water be thrown out of the body with the urine. Urination increases appetite and promotes digestion. It contributes toward losing fats and is good for the heart and pericardium.

Wild Orange brings peace and happiness to the mind and body and joy to the heart which provide emotional support to help one overcome depression. It relieves anxiety, anger, and irritation often because of enhanced circulation and detoxifying of liver, and gall bladder. Wild Orange Oil helps us to take a more relaxed approach, encouraging adaptability and the smooth handling of events.

Frankincense and Seizures

    


Unusual electrical signals in the brain cause seizures.  These occurrences can be triggered by a variety of temporary conditions such as a high fever, a reaction to a drug, trauma to the brain, or more permanent conditions such as congenital defects or aging problems.  If the seizures do not repeat after an underlying condition is corrected then the seizures are not considered epilepsy.
There are a several types of seizures.  Grand mal is when the electrical abnormality affects all areas of the brain.  Partial seizures occur when only part of the brain is involved and the symptoms of twitching or rhythmic movements may only appear in one part of the body.  A blank stare or repetitive blinking for a few seconds characterizes a petit mal or absence seizure.
If someone experiences a generalized seizure (grand mal) they will usually experience two phases.  First there is stiffening (tonic phase) then jerking (clonic phase)   They may appear to stop breathing, they may make unusual sounds, there will be thrashing of the arms and legs, the eyes will be open, and they may lose urine.  The return to consciousness will be gradual within a few minutes although the person will be confused for some time after the seizure.
The general procedure for helping someone suffering from a generalized seizure is to guard them against any injury during the uncontrolled movement phase but do not try to restrict their movements.  Make sure their air passage is open; usually having them lay on their side is sufficient.  If the seizure lasts more than 2 minutes or a second seizure starts before the person gains consciousness from the first you should seek medical attention.

Oils, blends & products recommended:
Oils & Blends:  Balance, Elevation, frankincense, Serenity
Essential oils based products: AromaTouch Technique, Life Long Vitality supplements
Suggested protocols:
There is reported success applying Balance and frankincense topically daily to bottom of feet and at brain stem or head area.  Serenity was topically applied to the heart area and around the neck.
Also consider periodic AromaTouch Technique with appropriate oils.
