Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 A third post by Farah. She has used these essential oils for about 4 years (if my memory is good) and believes they were the essential part on her healing. ----------------- Hi Everybody, Almost all of the essential oils penetrate the blood brain barrier, not just frankincense. incense is very good for treating Lyme and neuroborreliosis, though. It has traditionally been used to treat syphilis, which is the kissing cousin of Lyme disease. incense improves breathing and relieves anxiety. It also has been traditionally used to treat other hard to treat infections, like leprosy (which is not related to Lyme). Thyme and patchouli have also been used to treat syphilis and leprosy. All of the oils have strong mental and psychological effects, and can be used to get a shot nervous system back in balance. Eucalyptus has been used to treat a wide variety of infectious diseases for a long time in Australia. It definitely acted strongly against Lyme Disease for me, and it worked well for my neurological symptoms. Eucalyptus has also been used as an antimalarial medicine by aborigines. It may have good effects on babesia. Lavender is good for more than sleep. It stimulates healing in the body, it relieves anxiety, and it is also mildly antibacterial and antiviral. It can be good for digestive problems. It is used to treat burns and heal skin. It is the oil most aromatherapists tell people to get first, because it is gentle and can be used for a wide variety of complaints. I had sleep problems with Lyme Disease. When the disease is inside the brain, it can attack the reticuloendothelial formation which controls sleep wake cycles in the body. Rubbing the oils on the back of the scalp near where the scalp and the neck meet can help with sleep problems. For tinnitus it is safe to put a drop of 10-20% diluted oil in the ear, as long as it is not a harsh oil like oregano or thyme. Lavender is a safe one. I did that regularly for tinnitus and hearing problems. Geranium is helpful for balancing out the hormonal system, which gets pretty messed up with Lyme. Lavender is good that way, too. Geranium is also antiviral and has activity against all sorts of Herpes viruses and EBV. Eucalyptus and thyme are also antiviral. Eucalyptus is also antifungal. It prevented me from having any candida and yeast problems. Many of the oils also help to carry toxins and heavy metals out of the body. Bay Laurel seems to be helpful for lymph node involvement and bartonella. It is active against gram negative bacteria, which bartonella is. So is eucalyptus and thyme. Getting the oils rubbed into your own back is challenging. The best thing is to have someone in the family rub them in for you. I became a bit of a contortionist trying to get to certain parts of my back especially in between my shoulders. Mostly, I bugged my husband to rub them into my back for me. He was often the one to tell me when I needed them rubbed into my scalp, because he often noticed when I was beginning to have neuropsychiatric symptoms faster than I did. Lemon oil is very detoxifying and is good for the liver and the digestion. It helps to improve clear thinking and alertness, and can help with brain fog. It is also strongly antibacterial and antiviral. In France, doctors prescribe oils orally in a similar fashion to the way in which oil of oregano is used. They are diluted in a carrier oil and one drop of the diluted oil is taken three times daily, often after being put in capsules. A diluted drop can also be absorbed sublingually. The oils are used a lot to treat infectious diseases in this manner. They will take a bacterial culture, and see which oil kills the most of that specific bacteria in a petrie dish, and then prescribe that oil for the person. They have also seen that people tend to naturally prefer the scent of the oil that lab tests show was the best one for them to use. They are also using another diluted essential oil mixture with bergamot in it and giving it orally to children in Africa to treat infectious diseases. Oral use is best done with care and under supervision, since the oils are so concentrated, as people who feel the burn when they take oregano oil can attest to. A lot of different brands found at the health food store work fine. They need to be properly diluted. I emphasize the need for dilution because that is of prime importance when using these oils properly. Farah ------ As far as base carrier oils for Lyme. There are many to choose from, jojoba, almond, canola(just home cooking oil). My favorite is grapeseed oil because it seems to absorb into the skin well. A lot of different oils can help with the burning sensation in the skin people get with Lyme. Lavender is a typical oil to choose for burning, itching, and skin problems. I have noticed that pinching the areas of the skin that burn works better than scratching, or even deep massage. Pinch an inch to two inches of skin at a time after rubbing in the diluted oils.
