Gifts of the Earth - Essential Oils

Category: Health
I am blown away by what I didn't know about essential oils. For example, I didn't know that 2 drops of peppermint oil can bring a baby's temperature down in 15 minutes. Lavender and Melaleuca oils can cure an ear infection in 1 day for only 64 cents versus a trip to the doctor for prescription antibiotics that take a week to do their job. How is it possible that I didn't know essential oils not only are antibiotic, but they are also anti-viral? When the doctor says, tells me my flu symptoms are viral and there is nothing he can prescribe, I wonder how is it possible he doesn't know about the anti-viral properties of therapeutic grade Lavender, Lemon, and Melaleuca?
The powerful essential oil of oregano is anti-fungal and can remove warts and moles and cure athlete's foot. You smell a little like spaghetti, but it's worth it. Lemon essential oil is anti-cancer, anti-depressant, anti-septic, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-viral, and astringent. Allergies are no match for Lavender and Eucalyptus oils.
My sister-in-law thinks I am a witch the way my oil potion tamed her month-long, raging case of poison ivy. She was nearly in tears claiming she would have given a million dollars for that tiny bottle a month ago. She had used every pill and salve on the market to no avail. Heartburn, high blood pressure, hives, hot flashes, headaches—nature delivers the healing frequency in the tiny molecules of essential oils. Snake bites, sore throat, sprains, staph infection, stomachache and stretch marks all can be treated with an essential oil protocol.
I didn't know that a heavenly spelling oil named Frankincense can fade those annoying brown spots on my 50 year old face. Lavender and Melaleuca can stop the itch of a mosquito bite and Eucalyptus plus Lemon makes a great insect repellant.
The research is as old as the Pharoahs of Egypt and currently ongoing in major universities and hospitals around the world. Recent studies show that essential oils have sesquiterpenes that allow them to cross the blood-brain barrier delivering oxygen molecules to the brain cells. This makes them helpful with stroke recovery closed head injuries and brain disorders, Alzheimer's and dementia.
Essential oils are more than just perfume—they are strong medicine. Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson and all the big drug companies spend endless amounts of money in the laboratory trying to synthesize the precious ingredients in essential oils. If they can synthesize it in the lab they can patent it, and sell it to us. But they can't patent nature and their efforts fall short because of the infinite complexity of nature's compounds.
I am learning that just like all computers are endeavoring to replicate the human brain, all of the over the counter medications and prescription drugs are attempts to replicate nature. Essential oils truly are gifts of the earth. Unlike synthetic medications they never expire and remain potent indefinitely. They have no side-effects.
I hate to admit it, but I guess I didn't know about essential oils because big corporations don't advertise them in 60 second commercials day and night on TV. No one is paying movie stars to endorse essential oils. I guess if the word is going to get out about the powerful natural medicine in therapeutic grade essential oils, it is up to me and you. Join me in learning more about essential oils.

I also love essential oils and have been working with, and is teaching the art of using them, nigh on 20 years. I have recently put together a range of culinary oils for enhancing the flour of and adding powerful nutriments back into storage foods.Did you know that half an ounce of say oregano essential oil equivalent to five and a half pounds of dried herb. which one would you store being that the dried herb looses small and nutrients. Where as essential oil retain both for a ;ong long time if you store with care.

I also use young living oils but found that they can be expensive at times. they are high grade oils but I have found some other sites to "supplement" at times that are just as good. There are multiple sites online but you have to decipher for yourself which ones are therapeutic grade or not.I have recieved raindrop as well as given raindrop and it can be a detoxing but also very relaxing. you do smell like spaghetti afterwards but it's worth it.:-) I have given this massage to several people who love it! a good place to start would be the "reference guide for essential oils" by connie and alan Hoigley.it teaches all about essential ois, their frequencies, and how and when to apply them as well as how to cook with them(also teaches raindrop technique).I have a diffuser I use daily. i am by far an expert with essential oils but they are very beneficial and smell great! Young living has two blends called abundance and joy, they are wonderful!Thank s so much for bringing this up.:-)

I've been using essential oils for years and gotten tremendous results. Oregano is the most powerful, a drop or two after a meal (especially those eaten in restaurants where the cleanliness is often in question) will kill 99% of all food born bacteria and pathogens. Peppermint oil is almost just as effective; a couple of drops in water will do the same and is also quite delicoius. Whenever you're feeling ill suddenly it's usually from something you've just eaten, so take some essential oils (clove is also quite good). For oral health, put a couple of drops of oregano oil in hydrogen peroxide and you'll feel it going to work.
I use the oils from Young Living and have always been pleased. And you get the chance, get a Raindrop Massage where a half a dozen oils are massaged into you back, spine, and feet for some real detox action :-)
