Guest guest Posted August 9, 2001 Report Share Posted August 9, 2001 As to a reaction, a friend of mine had one of the distributors put an oil neat over her heart (another of Young Living's methods). She had a nasty little burn spot there as a result. It burned down through a few layers of skin she said. I have trouble thinking about putting peppermint and wintergreen on my skin diluted, I cannot imagine putting it on neat. Granted, I have sensitive skin, but that would still just gives me the shivers. Besides, as I increase my rather limited knowledge of essential oils, I'm discovering that this stuff is POWERFUL. smiles, Lonie ----- Original Message ----- From: Marnie Hass But also in regards to Raindrop ,in the course of conversations ,not one person had a reaction to it who had it done. I wonder if the oils are diluted in some way? Or they were just lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 I'm with you, Marnie, I know from my own research that some of these oils, while beneficial if applied correctly, are extremely potent and therefore should not be abused. Are these people forgetting that often less is better? Di Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the word subtle was there. Makes you wonder if he has ever used any of these oils neat. Let's see how " subtle " they are on him.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 I, too, am a Massage Therapist. A lady brought in some 'cellulite creme' for me to use on her 'fleshy areas'. Well I smelled it & noted a hint of Cinnamon oil in the creme. I told her that this contained Cinnamon oil & it could burn her. She insisted it was Ok for her to use, she had used it before. She insisted it be used on her buttocks, hips & thighs. So, when I got to that general area I asked her again - again she wanted the crème used on her. I put a small amount on her hips & buttocks, turned around to get the contour machine & noticed she was 'pink'. I asked her if she was OK, she said she was & I was about 1/2 way thru one hip when I asked her if she was OK, because she was wiggling a lot. She said she felt like she was on fire. I went over & turned on the over-head light & she was *red*. I got some veg oil we use & smeared it on her & took her to the shower immediate. As soon as the other therapist came out of her room I told her what happened & she got some " dawn " dish liquid & we took it to the client, then helped to bathe her. The entire time the client was laughing about everything that happened. We asked the client to stay awhile so we could watch her. She stayed & chatted with us for over an hour. Even when she left she was pink. I suggest that she go to, or at least call, her doc. She just laughed & said he'd make fun of her if she called. Later the client said this was a new creme - and she'll buy the regular kind from now on. Point being .... *PATCH TEST**PATCH TEST **PATCH TEST** Even if 'who ever' says they are accustom to what ever oils might be in what you are using. Karyn --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Ok, someone asked me about Rain Drop therapy last week, and I haven't been able to respond. Computer problems. Anyway, Rain Drop Therapy is a method of applying essential oils to the spine. I haven't had this done on myself or used it on anyone else, but I am very impressed with essential oils from what I've experienced of them. I've been experimenting with them lately. I think Rain Drop Therapy would probably be an excellent treatment for spinal issues, especially involving pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
