Essential Oils 102: Create Your Own Healthcare Plan
Jul 2009 Essential Oils 102: Create Your Own Healthcare Plan
We know that there are four aspects where we experience pain; physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. There are essential oil singles and blends to deal with all of the aspects of pain, some blends help in more than one aspect. This article is designed to help you get a start.
Physical Resonance- citruses, like orange (sweet and bitter varieties), grapefruit, lemon, tangerine. Many trees, like pine, spruce, eucalyptus, cedarwood, cypress, tea tree. Birch is one of my favorite in this category. Blends; Millenia, Deliverance, Inside Out, Deeper.
With one sniff you’ll instantly recognize it as a main ingredient in muscle soreness products. Watch for these ingredients in the blended oils as they often work better as a blend than they do as a single. For use with upper respiratory distress, the appropriate oil can be diffused by placing a drop or two of oil onto a cotton ball and setting it near the patient. For sore muscle, joints, and backache, add a drop or two of oil to about 1/2 tsp of carrier oil, such as almond, coconut, or olive oil, and massage it into the area. Oh, what a relief it is!
Emotional Resonance-, Lavendar, rose, rosewood, bergamot, geranium, ylang, ylang, chamomile, rose geranium. Blends; Believe, Heart Song, Sanctuary, Everlasting (unusual as it is a blend of five other blends).
The lovely thing with these oils is that it takes just a single drop to fill a room, you may wear it as perfume, place it over the chakras, or a touch under the nose and at the crown and feel the difference in your emotions right away.
Mental Resonance- Myrtle, sweet orange, neroli. Blends; Letting Go, Believe, Meditation, Tomorrow, Wisdon, and Unity.
These can help with focus, balance, calming, and clarity. I love a blend called Energy, it helps in all of the four areas, but I find it especially helps with getting things done by bringing a joyful feeling that motivates me through the day with ease.
Spiritual Resonance- Frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood, rose. Blends; Faith, Believe, Sanctuary, Unity, Beloved.
Most of us need to settle down, be still, remember who we are and what our life is all about. Instead, we spend a lot of time and energy just getting through one busy day after another. This is madness and much of it is a waste; our time is squandered, our relationships suffer, our money evaporates. Essential oils were created by the Lord. They are designed to give us what we need to stay healthy. If we will take a tiny bit of effort each day and open a bottle, use it and give gratitude for it, we will have a huge part of our “healthcare system” taken care of.
Having even a couple of bottles that affect each resonance will get you off to a wonderful start. As you become familiar with how and when to use your oils, you will be ready to add more oils to your repertoire. There is nothing in Western medicine that can compete with the purity, effectiveness, and low cost of essential oils. Using your stock of oils on a routine basis will keep your family healthier and help them recover more quickly when they are ill.
