DoTERRA Essential Oil Support for:
Eczema is due to a hypersensitivity reaction (similar to an allergy) in the skin, which leads to long-term inflammation of the skin.
Eczema is most common in infants. Many people outgrow it by early adulthood. The condition tends to run in families.
People with eczema often have asthma or hay fever, too. There is often a family history of allergic conditions such as asthma, hay fever, or eczema.
The most common causes of eczema include malnutrition, especially to the skin (deficiency of essential substances or nutrient imbalances) and internal pollution (interfering substances such as pollutants, heavy metals, drugs, metabolic waste products, toxins produced by yeast, and toxins made in our body as a result of allergic reactions).
The following can make eczema worse:
Allergies to pollen, mold, dust mites, or animals
Stress
=============
Typical skin changes may include:
Blisters with oozing and crusting
Skin redness or inflammation around the blisters
Thickened or leather-like areas, called lichenification, which can occur after long-term irritation and scratching
Itching, which is sometimes intense, almost always occurs. Itching may start even before the rash appears.
——————————————————–
Your skin, the protection between you and the outer world, is your body’s largest organ. It is there to protect you from infectious agents, environmental extremes, bumps, scratches, or invasive objects. It has a system of nerves to warn against impending dangers, a system of sweat glands for cooling, a capillary system that can bring nutritional helps to the blood stream, and a system to exude poisons from the body. A marvelous gland and so important for our health and well-being.
-
The skin is made up of three layers:
The epidermis – This is the outer layer of the skin. It the primary protective coating of the body and is primarily non-living cells (no blood is delivered to them) that are fed by the lower dermis layer. The epidermis is continually being rejuvenated from the dermis with the outer layer being completely replaced every 3 to 5 weeks.
-
The dermis – This layer, immediately below the epidermis, has all of the working elements of the skin. It has the outermost capillaries of the blood system, it is the location of the sweat glands, it includes lymph nodes housing immune system cells, it has nerve endings for our sense of touch, and the hair follicles. Around the hair follicles are the sebaceous glands that produce sebum. The proper amount of sebum, an oily secretion, lubricates and waterproofs our skin. Too much sebum, common to adolescents, leads to acne. Too little sebum, common to aging adults, leads to dry skin that promotes wrinkles.
*Interestingly enough this same sebum is also a very important element in the use of essential oils. This fatty substance is nearly ideal for absorbing essential oils, which then allows them, if applied topically (directly on the skin) to quickly enter the bloodstream. A demonstration by Dr. David Hill shows the effects of oils in the blood stream within a matter of tens of seconds.
-
The subcutaneous (hypodermal) layer – This is the innermost layer of the skin. It is the insulation for the body and is composed mostly of fat cell (adipocytes). Besides insulation these fat cells provide texture for a pleasing appearance of the skin. As these fat cells are lost, often in aging, wrinkles appear and sagging occurs.
-
Overview:
Dermatitis is inflammation of the skin and includes eczema (redness, itching and dryness, swelling, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, or bleeding). Psoriasis is a disease that affects the skin and joints. Red scaly patches appear on the skin which are areas of inflammation due to excessive skin production. This disorder is chronic and not contagious.
Dermatitis, eczema and the skin symptoms of psoriasis are treated with similar oils. Lavender and frankincense are most helpful and can be augmented with geranium and melaleuca.

Therefore, strongly consider using a cleanse like the GX Assist followed by PB Assist to rebuild your probiotics. Couple this with the Life Long Vitality supplements to strengthen the immune system. In some reported cases of prolonged eczema the GX Assist had to be repeated multiple times.

Lavender Essential Oil
Lavandula angustifolia
Our most popular oil, lavender has been cherished for its unmistakable aroma and its therapeutic properties for thousands of years. Lavender is widely used and accepted for its calming and relaxing qualities.
-
Its name, Lavender is derived from the Latin word, lavandārius, which comes from lavanda meaning “things to be washed.” The Romans added Lavender to bath water to soothe, calm and to treat the skin, while the Greeks crushed and burned it to create a calming fragrant atmosphere. They named Lavender Nard, after the city Naardus, located on a canal between the Tigris and Euphrates River, in the Baghdad, Iraq area. As a hub for Jewish study, the bible records the use nard in the Gospel of Mark, calling it Spikenard. In the ancient Mishna a Hebrew passage refers to it as Shibolet Nard, naming it as one of the ingredients in the Holy Incense.

What makes doTERRA’s Lavender Oil Different?
Lavender is one of the most versatile and affordable of all the essential oils available on the market. Lots of people absolutely love the smell of lavender and that it why it has been formulated as a synthetic fragrance in so many different things – including soaps, perfumes, potpourri, and even lavender scented blankets and dolls. What people are missing out on when they buy these things are the healing and calming properties of lavender as a pure essential oil.
Grown in its native environment and harvested at the correct time lavender becomes a hugely powerful healer. Lavender is steam distilled from its flowering tops. The best lavender plants to use are the lavandula angustifolia. Grown natively in northern France and Bulgaria, doTERRA combines these two oils equally to create the most powerful and potent lavender available on the market.
There are many people aware of the calming properties that lavender has to offer, but many are not aware at how quickly they can calm and they are especially not aware of calming they can actually be. Essential oils are so powerful that they can work within minutes, and often within only seconds.

CPTG®,Certified-Pure-Therapeutic-grade lavender oil has been highly regarded for the skin. It may be used to cleanse cuts, bruises and skin irritations.
The French scientist, René Gattefossé was the first to bring these benefits to the attention of the modern world.
Having burned himself in a laboratory explosion, he applied lavender oil to his burns. Dr. Gattefossé noted such remarkable healing, that he began to study the oils for their medicinal applications, and so was born modern aromathérapie (the medicinal application of aromatic substances).

A recent article at Star-Telegram.com reported that, in a recent study at the Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital, 14 intensive care nurses, working 12 hour shifts, rubbed essential oils on their forearms. They were then asked to rate their stress levels. Half were given a true lavender and clary sage essential oil, while the other half were given a placebo oil, made from almond oil. More than half of the nurses using the lavender essential oil reported a decrease in perceived stress. The article emphasizes the importance of using a pure, therapeutic-grade essential oil that has not been diluted or spiked with chemical fillers.
Lavender was also mentioned at Chron.com, in a reference to a study reporting that just five minutes of exposure to a mild lavender scent helps curb the release of cortisol, a stress hormone that can trigger inflammation and lead to premature aging. Other studies are reported to demonstrate lavender’s support in fighting insomnia and working as a calming agent. Lavender also has antiseptic properties, and can be used to calm headaches, when rubbed onto the temples.

Lavender Testimony:
I have severe allergies. I am horribly allergic to animals, pollen and mold. When I moved into a house with two cats, I woke up every night with an itchy throat, itchy eyes and runny nose, and my larynx became inflamed.
After becoming frustrated with the results I had with Zyrtec, Clariten and Nasonex, I decided to turn to essential oils. I put two drops each of peppermint, lavender and lemon in a capsule and swallowed it before bed. That night, I slept through the night and woke up without puffy eyes! I have been using the oils for a week and have had amazing results, without any of the side effects I had from the prescription drugs I previously used. dōTERRA® oils are amazing!

===Research: Schnaubelt, in his classic book Medical Aromatherapy, describes the power of Roman Chamomile in this way: “While monterpenoid esters are common in many essential oils, there is practically no other oil that reflects the nature of esters, as exclusively as Roman chamomile. Despite its etherial fragrance, Roman chamomile has highly physical effects. It is a powerful antispasmodic and muscle relaxant that can be used as an emergency remedy during asthma attacks (rubbed on solar plexus, wrists, and temples) until more specific help becomes available.”
One of the most sought-after essential oils, Helichrysum has traditionally been used for its soothing and regenerative effects. The rare essential oil of Helichrysum is distilled from the flower cluster of an evergreen herb and is highly prized by essential oil users, and is known as the “everlasting” or “immortal” essential oil.

A recent article in Natural News reports that a study was conducted at the University of Nigeria that found that the active ingredients in Helichrysum that help lower blood pressure are called curcumene and caryophyllene. They also found significant evidence that rubbing the oil over scars does significantly reduce their appearance, even if the scars have been there for some time.
An allergy is an exaggerated immune response or reaction to substances that are generally not harmful…. just annoying.
Allergies are relatively common. Both genetics and environmental factors play a role.
The immune system normally protects the body against harmful substances, such as bacteria and viruses. It also reacts to foreign substances called allergens, which are generally harmless and in most people do not cause a problem.
But in a person with allergies, the immune response is oversensitive. When it recognizes an allergen, it releases chemicals such as histamines. which fight off the allergen. This causes itching, swelling, mucus production,muscle spasms, hives, rashes, and other symptoms, which vary from person to person.
Common allergens include pollen, mold, pet dander, and dust. Food and drug allergies are common. Allergic reactions can also be caused by insect bites, jewelry, cosmetics, spices, and other substances.
Some people have allergy-like reactions to hot or cold temperatures, sunlight, or other environmental triggers. .
A specific allergy is not usually passed down through families (inherited). However, if both your parents have allergies, you are likely to have allergies. The chance is greater if your mother has allergies.

I personally get allergy attacks in the spring which result in skin rashes along my abdomen, neck and occasionally my face & legs. As the season progresses, sneezing, coughing and itchy eyes join in. I always hated taking over the counter medication because I was always left drowsy or a feeling like my brain was swimming…. so I’m very grateful for this all natural support that has worked wonders for me!!
