Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 Hello all, I am new to this group, but I've had excellent results with a certain brand of essential oils. The reason people have bad reactions to most essential oils (EO) is because they're using an EO which has be adulterated (cut with chemicals). Anything you place on your skin is in your blood in two seconds. Most EO's being sold are not pure therapeutic grade oils. The reason a seller of the oil warns against using the oil on the skin or internally is because the oil contains harmful chemicals. Which is also why the oil is so inexpensive. The brand of EO's that I use are 100% pure, organic, therapeutic grade essential oil. The EO's are GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) which makes them safe to be applied to the skin and taken internally. An excellent book on the safe use of EO's is Essential Oils Desk Reference by Essential Science Publishing, 1-800-336-6308, www.essentialscience.net. This book has a lot of informative and detailed information on why the oils work, how they work, why some oils don't work, and how to safely use the oils. My experience using EO's is limited. However, in the short time I've been using this brand of EO's I've experienced incredible results. The first oil I used was lavender, pure lavender not the hybrid which is what most lavender on the market is made from. I used the lavender neat (undiluted) for my dogs' ear infection and my cats' burn on her head. I applied the oil on the underside of my dogs' ear twice a day for a week. After a week the foul smelling residue in her ear was gone. Her ear was completely healed and pink again. My cat loves to sleep next to the space heater in the bathroom all winter. Well, this one time she slept too close and burned a spot on her head between her eye and ear. It looked like someone took a cheese grater and rub her skin off. I applied lavender to the burn (nothing else) twice a day for a week. After a week it healed completely with no scab or scar. After a few weeks the hair grew back. Personally, I've used lavender, applied neat, to clear up all kinds of zits and things on my skin. I've used it to cleanse and heal small cuts and scraps. Some cuts heal while I'm sleeping and larger ones take a week to heal. Lavender is an excellent anti-depressant. I find that I'm in a much better mood at work when I apply it to my forehead and back of neck just be starting work. I use many EO's for all kinds of purposes on myself and my family. I place a few drops of lemon EO and grapefruit EO in my spring water everyday. Lemon is antiseptic, improves microcirculation, and immune stimulant (increases white blood cells), improves memory and relaxation. Grapefruit is excellent for detoxifying and fat dissolving among other benefits. My wife, who is a nurse, is now believer of EOs. A few weeks ago my son had played with a girl who was sick with strep throat. On a Monday they played at her house. On Tuesday she became sick and her doctor did a rapid and overnight culture for strep. Both came back positive. On Thursday around 1 AM my wife called me at work to tell me that our son was burning up with fever and his ear is bright red and painful. I had the Essential Oils Desk Reference book with me so I looked up strep throat and told her what to do. She rubbed peppermint oil neat on the bottoms of his feet. She rubbed lavender oil neat on his ears. She rubbed Exodus II, a blend of Cassia, Hyssop, incense, Spikenard, Galbanum, Myrrh, Cinnamon Bark and Calamus in a carrier base of Olive oil, diluted with pure Olive oil on his carotid arteries (below his ear lobes along his neck). She rubbed Cinnamon Bark diluted with pure Olive oil on his chest. She rubbed Clove oil diluted with pure Olive oil on his back. In addition she sprayed a blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata and Rosemary, with other ingredients, in his mouth. By 4 AM his fever was gone and he was able to sleep. When I arrived home around 11 AM, he was up and playing like usual. His ear was still a little painful. My wife applied everything listed above to him and we gave him some vitamins containing EOs and some vitamin C (not the kind one can buy in a store). When I got up around 10 PM Thursday my son was completely healthy with no ear pain. We repeated everything again on Friday. On Saturday my wife wanted me to take my son to his doctor for a checkup just in case. All I told the doctor was that my son was exposed to a child who had strep throat. They did a rapid and an overnight culture on my son. Both tests came back negative! I use EOs for all kinds of health issues. We are amazed everyday with the results we see from using these EOs. We also use toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoo, conditioner and deodorants that contains EOs and with no harmful ingredients of any kind. I do agree that using this brand of EO in the wrong way can have harmful affects, like pouring EOs directly into a bath. EOs are not water soluble so they float on the surface. The correct way to use EOs in a bath is by mixing EOs with epsom salts first then pouring it into the running water as the tub fills. I know this is running long so I'm going to end it here, but using EOs have greatly improved my life and the life of my family. I have never been into a natural or organic lifestyle until just recently. I am amazed at the change in my health in such a short time.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 and , So where were you two when MY child was sick! Thanks for the info on reference books. But did either of you say what brand of EOs you like to use? I spoke to the person who sells Wyndmere and she assured me that, even though the bottle does not say organic, they are organically produced and of the utmost highest quality???

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 I predict that Young Living Oils and Amway, now known as Quickstar, will be attacked by the government, probably the FTC, in July just like Coral Calcium and SeaSilver were attacked last year. They were both attacked by Barrett and Quackwatch in the spring of last year. In the past week Dexter Yeager, a top Amway (Quickstar) distributor and Quickstar were attacked in an hour long TV documentary. The email below about Young Living contains two web pages from Quackwatch. Quackwatch gets its money and direction from a PR firm in Manhattan that in turn gets its money and direction from several drug companies. Years ago, I was a distributor for Young Living. My sponsor back then is still a good friend. She now makes over $20,000 a month in Young Living. I learned about some of Young's past activities back then and quit having anything to do with Young Living Oils.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Ann, I was thinking about doing this myself, and they are really pricy. There's a lot of work involved, though it really would be nice--unless you plan on selling your product, I'm not sure it pay itself off anytime soon.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Are you talking about EFA's? If so, great success in attention and speech. DHA is good for motor planning (apraxia/dyspraxia) EFA is excellent for speech. You can check out this online group run by a dear friend of mine You can email me privately if I can offer any assistance, all 3 of my children are doing exceptionally well with EFA supplementation (guessing this is what you mean by essential oils...)

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Nope, not aroma therapy. These are oils that have been used throughout the century to help with diseases. I have a best friend who is exceptionally knowledgeable about these and has seen some wonderful results for her ASD son. I can't use them for my boys because of sensory issues. They can't stand the oils on thejr skin. But if you need help email me privately and I will give her your contact information. She loves working with families using the oils. She is also one of my son's rescue angels and a huge blessing to me as a friend!

I'm sure if I'm wrong another more experienced member will correct me. 1. Heat the solid absolute enough to remove it from the container. Place it in another larger container and create a tincture by adding perfume alcohol (enough to cover absolute blob.) Shake daily, eventually most of the absolute will dissolve. This may take awhile. (Mine are still tincturing and are only partially dissolved.) 2. As far as I know there is no such thing as heliotrope, freesia or amber essential oil. You can buy Osmanthus absolute (again with the tincturing.) I just bought some from Liberty Natual Products. You can make a really great amber scent by combining vanilla, benzoin and labdanum. 3. Neroli and Orange Blossom absolute smell very different. While from the same plant (along with petitgrain) orange blossom is much more a floral and expensive. p.s. you can buy Cocoa oil as well (not a solid-maybe easier to work with.) Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 > > Is there > > a EO subsitute? > > Helitrope > > Freesia Those are two I see listed in several perfumes, obviously not in natural perfumes! Is there a way to mimic these with a natural blend? For example, even though there is carnation absolute on the market, I found a clever blend of black pepper (20 drops), ylang ylang (14 drops), clove (2 drops), and geranium (2 drops) that's supposed to approximate the aroma. I'm particularly interested in Freesia, or as the ingredient is list " Dewy Freesia. " Of course, that won't be the only key to unlock if I want to imitate , as there's the mysterious " White Wings Peony " and " Cashmere Woods, " each of which sound like a brand name for a perfume on it's own. (Grumble.) And why would they list " incense " as a note? There's tons of fragrances of incense! That's like listing " cologne " as a scent! (Double grumble.) But...back to this topic. Any natural blend approximations of flowers not available in absolute or EO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
