Wow, it’s already February? The air has cooled even in sunny California. My friends in the mid west and east coast have been buried under snow. 

Last year this time I was dealing with a horrible case of the flu. Me and what seemed like people from every corner of the earth were just put out of commission for weeks, some of us months. I tried all the healing remedies but couldn’t beat it.

Less than a year ago I was introduced to essential oil therapy. And wow. This natural plant medicine is powerful! I’ve been using them to cure all sorts of ailments and get off of all medications. 

So What’s the Deal with Essential Oils?  

Well, essential oils have been used by many cultures around the world for centuries. From the Greeks, to the Romans, in India, Egypt, China, Persia… for spiritual purposes, as money exchange and for healing the sick.

Healing With Oils

Ah, healing the sick. Let’s talk about that. Last month I was staying with friends on a trip. My hosts got hit with that nasty flu. Remembering last year, I ask them, “Hey, would you be interested in me trying this oil recipe called the FLU BOMB on you?” They enthusiastically said yes! I applied the recipe of several drops of lemon, melaleuca, frankincense, on-guard and oregano essential oils on the bottom of their feet, 3-4x during the day. In two and a half days, they were fine. No more flu!

Now keep in mind, there are many grades of essential oils. Most out there are synthetic, which are fine for perfume. But it’s important when using them to on the skin or to ingest, that you use medicinal quality brand. I love doTerra essential oils because they are top of the line organic and super pure.  Synthetic oils many times are not safe to use on the skin and certainly not to ingest, but CPTG essential oils are from the highest grade and beyond organic. Meaning there is absolutely nothing in the oils but the oil. No pesticides and no synthetics. They are super safe and super powerful when it comes to healing.

How Do They Work

Essential oils work differently than modern synthetic medicine. Synthetic medicine typically masks the symptoms rather than getting to the root of the issue. Essential oils work to support the body’s own healing system, and when used correctly, may be able to take the place of conventional over-the-counter remedies. Only a few drops are needed at a time, so a small bottle can last a few years when used sparingly. Most have a shelf life that will outlive you, with the exception of citrus oils, which lose their potency after about two years.

 Here Are A Few Of My Favorite Oils

Lavender is a calming essential oil. It can reduce stress and anxiety and promote sleep. it is also an antiviral and antibacterial, which can reduce the healing time drastically for burns, scrapes, bites and stings. It can be applied directly onto the skin. Try adding a few drops to the bath, or on your pillow to help you unwind and relax.

Peppermint is a wonderful invigorating and cooling oil. It can help you wake up in the morning. Place a few drops on your palms and inhale and you can pretty much skip that morning coffee. It’s great for fevers. Just add a few drops to a carrier oil such as coconut or grape seed oil and rub on your back, neck and chest for an instant cooling effect. The smell of peppermint can also help combat feelings of upset stomach, nausea or motion sickness.  I use it on my temples to get rid of headaches and migraines.  it can also reduce the intensity of headaches and migraines.

the root of the issue. Essential oils work to support the body’s own healing system, and when used correctly, may be able to take the place of conventional over-the-counter remedies.

Frankincense is a truly unique essential oil, with a rich, aromatic scent that is calming to your senses, your emotional state and overall sense of well-being.  It also enhances the use of the other oils. It’s a natural anti depressant and boosts your immune system. The chemical constituents in frankincense oil support the healthy production of white blood cells and many medical studies have been showing that it may help to cure cancer. You also may recall that it was one of the gifts given to Christ at His birth, it was considered to be more valuable than gold.
