All Natural Sickle Cell Anemia Support

doTERRA Essential Oil Support for

Sickle Cell Anemia

Sickle cell anemia is a disease passed down through families in which red blood cells form an abnormal crescent shape. (Red blood cells are normally shaped like a disc.)

Sickle cell anemia is caused by an abnormal type of hemoglobin called hemoglobin S. Hemoglobin is a protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen. Hemoglobin S changes the shape of red blood cells, especially when the cells are exposed to low oxygen levels. The red blood cells become shaped like crescents or sickles.

The fragile, sickle-shaped cells deliver less oxygen to the body’s tissues. They can also get stuck more easily in small blood vessels, and break into pieces that interupt healthy blood flow.

Sickle cell anemia is inherited from both parents. If you inherit the hemoglobin S gene from one parent and normal hemoglobin (A) from your other parent, you will have sickle cell trait. People with sickle cell trait do not have the symptoms of sickle cell anemia.

Sickle cell disease is much more common in people of African and Mediterranean descent. It is also seen in people from South and Central America, the Caribbean, and the Middle East.

Those with Sickle Cell have noticed:

Most issues usually don’t occur until after age 4 months.

Almost all patients with sickle cell anemia have painful episodes (called crises), which can last from hours to days. These crises can affect the bones of the back, the long bones, and the chest.

Some patients have one episode every few years. Others have many episodes per year. The crises can be severe enough to require a hospital stay.

All Natural Lyme Disease Support

doTERRA Essential Oil Support For:

Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection of the bacterium borrelia burgdorferi (also know as spirochete) which is carried by ticks from deer or mice to humans.  The infection has now been found in North America and also in Europe.

(the name comes from the town of Old Lyme, Connecticut where the disease was first identified in 1975)

Early symptoms of the infection may not be noticed or if noticed resemble flu symptoms such as fever, headaches, body aches, and muscle pain.  A “bulls eye” rash may occur at the spot of the tick bite.  Antibiotics at this early stage will likely provide complete recovery.

If not treated properly other symptoms may occur over time and persist disrupting a normal active life.  These later symptoms and complications may include chronic problems including arthritic type pain with inflammation of the joints.  There may also be brain or nervous system chronic problems including difficulty with memory, concentration, and vision.  Also reports have included symptoms such as widespread itching and mood changes.

Even after the bacterial infection has been arrested some report continued symptoms.  This has been labeled post-Lyme disease syndrome.  Extended symptoms are most commonly arthritic or heart related.

–

The Lyme disease tick:

The infected tick is commonly in wooded or grassy rural areas and most dangerous for transmittal in the spring, summer, to early fall season.  You must be bitten by a tick carrying the bacterium (not all ticks are carriers) and have it attached to your body to get Lyme disease.

 Use common sense procedures to avoid ticks if you are in suspected areas:

·  Use an insect repellent

·  Wear long sleeve shirt

·  Wear high boots, tuck pants into socks

·  Check for ticks (light colored clothing make them easier to spot)

Deer ticks are small, especially in the nymph stage, so they may go undetected so watch for these signs.  The area of the bite usually will redden with the “bulls eye” pattern within 3 to 30 days.  Flu like symptoms will occur.

—————–

There are multiple phases of Lyme disease:

·  During the initial infectious stage (immediately after the tick bite) the use of an antibiotic protocols will be effective and if started early enough will eliminate further complications.

·  If the initial phase went undetected or untreated and some period of time passed before being diagnosed then the antibiotic protocols should be coupled with cleansing protocols and must be extended over a longer period of time.

·  If the infection is arrested but symptoms continue (post-Lyme disease syndrome) then the antibiotics and cleanses may not be necessary but Candida should be considered while addressing the symptoms.

-

doTERRA Essential Oils work perfectly with the body to support normal functions of the body and dōTERRA products are safe to use on all ages.

—–

doTERRA Essential Oil Users Have Found The Following To Assist In Lyme Disease Support:

In all cases the Life Long Vitality supplements should be used.

Click here to learn more about the supplements.

*Double the recommended use of EOMega from 4 capsules per day to 8 for those considered to be in the second phase as described above.

–

Antibiotic protocol

Put the following in a veggie capsule:

·   12 drops OnGuard Oil Blend

·   6 drops Oregano Oil

·   2 drops Frankincense Oil

One capsule per day for 14 days, rest 14 days and repeat.  During the 14 rest days apply 2 drops of  lemongrass and 1 drop of on guard on each foot before bedtime as well as take a probiotic daily.

With the antibiotic procedure be aware of the possibility of Herxheimer reaction* and if rashes or other symptoms occur reduce the daily dosage while continuing the procedure.  Remember that just the presence of a tick does not mean someone has Lyme disease.  Most do no start an antibiotic protocol unless the symptoms appear.

*Herxheimer reaction this occurs when large quantities of toxins are released into the body with a cleanse or using antibacterial oils as spirochetes bacterium die off.  The release of toxins may be faster than the body can remove them and result in fever, chills, headache, rash or other skin disorders. 

—

Cleanse (detoxify)

Use the full 15 day GX Assist/PB Assist procedure 3 times:

·   GX Assist (30 softgels taken 3 times a day over 10 days)

·   Followed by PB Assist (15 beadlets taken 3 times a day over 5 days)

·   rest 10 days.

·   repeat 2 more times.

Click here to learn more about GX & PB Assist

Other cleanses are described elsewhere and should be considered including doTERRA Zendocrine for detoxifying the liver, kidneys, colon, lungs, and skin.

Again be aware of the Herxheimer reaction and if rashes or other symptoms occur cut the daily dosage while continuing the procedure.  Return to full dosage as Herxheimer reactions subside.

—-

Supplements/Antibiotics/Cleanse sequence

·   If multiple protocols are necessary consider the following:  The Life Long Vitality supplements can be taken along with the antibiotic and cleansing procedures.

·   If the antibiotic and cleansing procedures are both needed it is prudent to sequence them starting with the antibiotic protocol, a 14 day rest, and then the cleanse.

Additional Help:

Drink 2-4 drops of Lemon Oil in water, daily (glass containers ONLY)

TESTIMONIAL:

“I supposedly still have Lyme Disease in my blood. I was the 6th person to get it in the state of NM. I had to take antibiotics every 6 weeks for 6 months. Then because of all the antibiotics, I developed Candida. I had lots of joint pain and underlying flu like symptoms all the time. I was very sick. I started the rotation diet, and did that for two years, cutting out all sweets, all red sauce, bread…etc. When I started taking using essential oils 11 years ago my body started to clear itself of the toxins. Then when I started the doTERRA Life Long Vitatlity supplement last year I noticed a big improvement. When I don’t take them, (like I forget sometimes) I notice a big difference! I have also used several oils internally, frankincense, lavender, oregano, and melaleuca in a capsule. I don’t have much of the symptoms any more. Taking the Life Long Wellness supplements seems to be the key. ” – Jan

Underestimated Peppermint!

DoTerra Essential Oil

Peppermint Essential Oil
Mentha piperita

Peppermint is popular in countless forms, from toothpaste to chewing gum. As an essential oil, it is useful to ease breathing and as a digestive aid

Peppermint is one of the oldest — and most highly regarded — herbs, and has been an integral part of herbal medicine for thousands of years.  It has a very wide range of uses, from soothing digestion to improving concentration and mental accuracy.

-

Key properties of peppermint oil

Some of the therapeutic properties ofpeppermint include: analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-parasitic, antiseptic, anti-spasmodic, astringent, expectorant and stimulant.

-

Common uses for peppermint oil

Peppermint oil can be used for its calming effect to relieve stress and tension.  It is also effective for relieving the headaches associated with stress or digestive upset, as well as for migraines.  Just apply a few drops to the back of the neck for stress, or to the temples to relieve a headache. (careful not to get in eyes)

During the cold and flu season, peppermint can really prove itself to you.  It works well in reducing fever (just apply a few drops to the bottom of the feet).  It is also great at opening and clearing sinus and respiratory congestion.  It relieves headaches, diarrhea and nausea, and can bring a wide range of comforts to the misery of colds and flu.  (I’d hate to be sick without it.)

 The FDA has certified peppermint as GRAS, so it may also be ingested.  I’ll put a drop or two on the tongue and let it dissolve there before swallowing.

Peppermint is a natural choice to add refreshment to any beverage.  I also add it to purified water to sooth my digestion and to refresh and invigorate me.  It also freshens the breath and reduces the buildup of the bacteria that cause dental plaque and gum problems.

 During the summer months, it offers the added benefits of being very cooling, making hot weather much more bearable.

The fragrance of peppermint oil is uplifting and invigorating.  Applied topically, this oil is very soothing to tired, sore muscles.  It has analgesic properties, and can be helpful for menstrual problems or skin disorders.

=========================

Peppermint oil was used by the ancient Egyptians and Romans, as well as many other groups throughout history.  Today, it is very widely used in foods, candies, gums, dental products, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.  In fact, it may well be one of the most readily recognizable scents and flavors.

However, because of essential oils, like peppermint, gaining mainstream acceptance, it is more important than ever before to avoid essential oils that are impure or of inferior quality.  In today’s economy, anything that is widely accepted tends to get mass produced; but, with high volume production processes, there is generally a sacrifice of quality and purity for the sake of the bottom line.

With essential oils, as with most things, you get what you pay for.

———————————

Modern research into peppermint oil

Recently, peppermint has been the focus of several studies that target its known benefits for improved digestion and anti-inflammatory activity in the intestinal tract.  Dr. P. Gardiner, M.D. has done studies on peppermint for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), digestive disorders, as a decongestant and for headaches.

Jean Valnet, M.D., studied peppermint’s effect on the liver and respiratory systems.

Other scientists have researched peppermint’s ability, when inhaled, to restore impaired taste and smell.

Dr. William N. Dember, of the University of Cincinnati, studied peppermint’s ability to improve concentration and mental accuracy.  It was found that, when peppermint was diffused in a room, the subjects were much more mentally alert, and mental accuracy was improved by about 25%.

Alan Hirsch, M.D., studied peppermint’s ability to directly affect the brain’s satiety center, which triggers a sense of fullness after meals.  As you can imagine, this could make peppermint oil a very helpful aide for weight loss

-==========-

Other uses for peppermint oil

Rub 4-6 drops in the palm and rub over stomach and around the navel to relieve indigestion, flatulence and diarrhea.

-

Add a drop of peppermint oil to herbal tea, to aid in digestion and relieve heartburn.

-

Apply peppermint oil immediately to an injured area (bruised shin, hit on the foot or hand) to relieve pain.  If there is a cut, apply thepeppermint oil around (not on) the open wound.

-

Inhale peppermint oil before and during a workout, to boost your mood and reduce fatigue.

-

To stop hiccups, apply a drop of peppermint oil on each side of the fifth cervical vertebra (up three notches from the large vertebra at the base of the neck).

-

Place two drops of peppermint oil on the tongue and rub another drop under the nose to improve alertness and concentration.  (Note: be careful not to swallow right away; allow the oil to completely dissolve on the tongue before swallowing.)

-

To deter rats, mice, ants or cockroaches, place two drops of peppermint oil on a cotton ball, and place along the path or point of entry for these pests.

-

Inhale the fragrance of peppermint oil to curb the appetite and lessen the impulse to overeat.

-

The last few weeks, I’ve really enjoyed the Purify oil blend.  Last night I cleaned berry stains off our carpet.  I  put a few drops in warm water and poured it on my stains, rubbed it around, soaked the water up with a towel and it was clean!  I cleaned all kitchen surfaces with 10 drops Purify in a spray bottle.  I even added it in the dishwasher.  It works so well.  Chocolate milk was spilled in the fridge, so I wiped and sprayed watered down purify blend in the fridge.  It cleaned the spill easily and smells great.  Most importantly,  I know there are no dangerous chemicals left floating around in my fridge settling in our foods.  I am so grateful that doTERRA was founded when it was and that I was able to learn about better health practices for me and my family.  I hope this helps you all. -Jade Balden

All Natural Chicken Pox Treatment

DoTerra Essential Oil Treatment For:

Chicken Pox

Chicken Pox is a common childhood disease typical among pre-teenage children.  It is a highly contagious infection of a virus known as varicella zoster.  The symptoms start as flu-like discomforts such as a fever, muscle or stomach pain, fatigue, and possibly headaches.  This is followed in 1 to 4 days with a rash of small reddish spots that can be anywhere on the body and are usually uncomfortably itchy.

The spots can blister and the open sores can have the added complication of a bacterial infection.  Because the virus is highly contagious the child should stay at home and those exposed should use antiviral essential oils to prevent also acquiring it.

The flu-like symptoms and itchy spots can cause discomfort but the illness is typically mild and over in a few days to a week.  Older children will be affected more and those with weak immune systems may have difficulty as well.

Note: Do not use aspirin to reduce fever. Children should never be given aspirin or medications containing aspirin for chicken pox or any other viral illness because of the risk of Reye’s syndrome.  This is a disorder that causes sudden and dangerous liver and brain damage. It is a very rare but of such severe complications caution must be taken.

DoTerra Essential Oil Chicken Pox Treatment:

To Relieve Itching:

Make an ointment with Calamine lotion: Mix 3 drops each of Lavender Oil and Melaleuca Oil for each ounce of Calamine lotion.

Add 1 cup of baking soda and 2 -4 drops of Lavender Oil  to a warm bathtub of water.  Mix well and a small child can soak/play while getting relief.

Quick Acting All Natural Fever Relief

DoTerra Essential Oil Treatment for:

Fevers

Fever refers to an elevation in body temperature. Technically, any body temperature above the normal oral measurement of 98.6 F (37 C) or the normal rectal temperature of 99 F (37.2 C) is considered to be elevated.

Fever is not considered medically significant until body temperature is above 100.4 F (38 C)

Fever serves as one of the body’s natural defenses against bacteria and viruses which cannot live at a higher temperature. For that reason, low fevers should normally go untreated, unless accompanied by troubling symptoms.

Fevers of 104 F (40 C) or higher demand immediate home treatment and possible subsequent medical attention, as they can result in delirium and convulsions, particularly in infants and children. Also even low fevers that last longer than 3 days, would require treatment.

 

doTerra Essential Oil Fever Relief:

Rub Peppermint Oil on spine, back of neck and bottoms of feet.

Put 3-4 drops each of Peppermint Oil, Melissa Oil and Lavender Oil in a capsule

5-6 drops of Lavender Oil or Peppermint Oil in a bath

Diffuse Cassia Oil in the air

 

 

 

Lemon (Citrus Limon)

Lemon

Another doTerra favorite, this essential oil powerhouse is cold-pressed from lemon rinds to preserve its delicate nature and potent properties. Lemon is known as a powerful aromatic, topical, and internal cleanser that can be used to complement many other oils. Diffusing lemon in a room can cleanse the air and uplift mood. It can also be used on surfaces throughout the home as a non-toxic cleaning booster. For aromatic, topical or dietary use.

Uses:

• Add a drop to a water bottle or to water served at a restaurant.
• Diffuse aromatically or apply topically for mood elevation.
• Add to a drop of honey to soothe a cough or sore throat.
• Dilute with coconut oil for a daily fingernail conditioning massage.
• Apply directly to cold sores for soothing relief.
• Add a drop of lemon and peppermint to your toothbrush after use.
• Diffuse in a room to neutralize odors.
• Remove gum, lavel adhesives, and greasy substances from fabric.
• Use to clean kitchen counter and stainless steel appliances.
• Add to live oil for a non-toxic furniture polish.
• Lemon oil is effective against infectious diseases such as fever, malaria and typhoid
• Can be used as a mouthwash. Add a couple drops to a 4 oz glass of water and gargle.
• Can be added to a spray bottle of water and sprayed into the air as a deodorizer, neutralizer, and air sterilizer
• Prepare a mixture of lemon oil and baking soda, and apply it to sinks and tubs, in bathroom and kitchen (kills bad smells & germs)

Important: Make sure you use only glass, ceramic or stainless steel. The potency of the essential oil will pull out petrochemicals from the plastic, and you don’t want to ingest those.

As well, it helps in the formation of white and red blood cells, leukocyte formation (immune system warrior cells), is helpful in treating anemia, asthma, colds, fever, gout, heartburn, intestinal parasites, rheumatism, sore throats and infections, ureter infections, varicose veins, anxiety; is blood pressure regulating, helps ease and clear up cold sores, dissolves cellulite (!), good for debility, digestive problems, energy enhancer; helps alleviate gallstones, is liver and lymphatic system cleansing; beneficial for nervous conditions, respiratory problems, muscular aches and pains, memory improvement… to name but a few of the mighty lemon’s attributes.

 

There are many clinical studies with supportive data regarding the successful treatment of anxiety, cancer, and the conditions noted above, mostly due to its high content of d-Limonene, a powerful natural terpenine that is helpful in inhibiting the accumulation of toxins, while also helping to discharge existing ones from the liver and kidneys. Taken with plenty of fresh water daily, a drop or two of doTERRA’s pure therapeutic-grade lemon oil each time you drink is a great way to keep your system flushed and hydrated!

 

As a culinary treat lemon oil can also be added to cake batters, frostings, chicken dishes, and anything else you can think of! It makes a wonderful addition to vanilla ice cream, souffles, and smoothies, too.

Personal Testimonies of doTerra Peppermint Oil:

“I put peppermint essential oil on my sick daughter’s feet while she was sleeping.  I had heard it was good for upset stomaches.  I was wishing I had given her some Tylenol or Motrin for her fever.  When she woke up I was going to give her Motrin but she no longer had a fever.  I have since learned that Peppermint is good for reducing fevers and have heard many people say that they use it all the time to reduce fevers.”

 

“My 12 year old son heard me read that you could put it on a shirt for alterness and wanted me to put it on his shirt before he went to school.  He felt like it helped him focus better.”

 

“We have used Peppermint Oil for headaches on many occasions.  Inhaling it helps as well as putting it on the temples or the base of the skull.  I love being able to try this first on my kids or myself before using medications.”

 

“My mother-in-law was having a very bad hot flash due to her chemo-therapy, I quickly put some peppermint oil on her forehead and back of the neck…and she was back to normal in2 seconds!”

 

“I get migraines frequently, and on vacation with friends, I noticed one coming on. One of my friends put peppermint on my forehead, temples and neck… and it stopped it!! None of the Rx medicines that I’ve used has come close to stopping it so quickly!”

 

“I was very sick and had bad IBS but I never knew because the doctor missed it. Well by accident I found peppermint oil and oregano oil and it is like day and night. I suffered all the time but with these I have no symptoms except peppermint breath – they are awesome.”
