Oil Of Oregano And Infections

I'd like to share with you a healing substance that can improve your life and the life of your friends in an extraordinary way. It's a versatile herbal medicine that truly merits the name "a medicine chest in a bottle". Whether you are traveling, at home or at your job, when you need first aid, pain relief, or natural anitibiotic action, this one product can truly "do it all".

Why is Oil of Oregano so special? It is composed of pure olive oil infused with a concentration of oregano that is 85 % carvacrol, which is extremely antiseptic. Thymol is another antiseptic that works synergistically with carvacol, along with 50 other antiseptic and healing compounds. The result is an amazingly broad number of healing properties with applications throughout the body.

Oil of Oregano is a natural, broad-spectrum antibiotic. This means that even if you don't know where an infection originates, the Oil of Oregano will find and attack it. Besides this it is anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-parasite and a remedy for yeast/candida overgrowth.

These wonderful properties make it effective in curing and relieving innumerable maladies, including:

Allergies, Arthritis, Backpain, Boils, Bruises, Congestion, Contusion, Cysts, Ear infection, Infections, Flu, Food poisoning, Fungus, Headaches, Muscle Pains, Otitis media, Parasites, Pneumonia, Sinusitis, Sprains UTI

For more detailed information on how to employ Oil of Oregano for these and more illnesses, visit www.pieternel.com. If you follow the guidelines there, I can guarantee the benefits to your near-term and also long-term health. Oil of Oregano offers a highly rewarding pathway to purification.

Oil of Oregano is a natural antibiotic that has no side effects. Pharmaceutical antibiotics have many side effects, such as diarrhea and weakening of the immune system. Research even tells us that after we follow 23 cycles of treatment with antibiotics, we have "earned" an increased risk of cancer. Makes you think' no?

Oil of Oregano can also cure insidious yeast infections and candida (which are, interestingly, yet another possible side effect of antibiotics). These stubborn conditions simply require a bit more understanding and a more prolonged approach.

If you think Oil of Oregano sounds like a miracle drug - excuse me, miracle herb - then you've got the point exactly.

Essential Oils - Use With Lotion to Moisturize and Soften Your Skin Naturally

Do you have to wash your hands often? As a nurse, I probably wash my hands at least 20 times a day. Does winter or dry weather leave you with rough, chapped hands? I find that my hands really need special attention in the winter. This article gives ways to use healing essential oils in simple recipes for lotion that will soften the skin and effectively replenish moisture to rough, dry hands. I have found the simplest way to use essential oils with lotion is to add my favorite oils to a quality, non-scented, non-perfumed, natural lotion base.

This recipe is for a great moisturizing lotion for the skin:

· 8 ounces of lotion base

· 15 drops of geranium

· 10 drops of myrrh

· 5 drops of ylang ylang.

Always use only pure therapeutic grade essential oils. Add the essential oils to the lotion base, gently mix the solution, and add a label with the ingredients to the container. Geranium and myrrh are classic essential oils for healing the skin. I add ylang ylang just because I love its aroma. A very important principle of aromatherapy is that the consumer likes the aroma. If they don't like it, they won't use it. There are many combinations that you can use.

For chapped hands, try adding 10 drops each of rosewood, patchouli and geranium to around 8 ounces of a quality unperfumed lotion base. Apply on location as needed.

For dry skin, try adding 10 drops each of rose, Roman chamomile, and sandalwood to 8 ounces of lotion base. Be certain that only pure, therapeutic grade essential oils are used.

If you are interested in making your own lotion to add the essential oils to, this very old recipe will help cool and soften the skin, as well as clean stains from hands:

· 1 ounce of rosewater (floral essential oil water)

· 1 ounce of fresh squeezed lemon juice

· 1 ounce of glycerin

· 10 drops of your choice of therapeutic grade essential oils

Put all of these ingredients together in a clean container and shake gently. Label the bottle with the ingredients and instructions to shake well before using each time and store in the refrigerator. This needs to be used within 2-3 weeks, so it is wise to make small amounts at a time.

Here is another recipe for a winter lotion:

· 1/2 cup of distilled water or rosewater

· 1/2 cup of jojoba carrier oil

· 1 Tablespoon of lecithin

· 1 capsule of Vitamin E

· 10-20 drops of your choice of pure therapeutic grade essential oils

Put the water/rosewater, jojoba and lecithin in a blender and whip until it forms a nice lotion. You can add more water/rosewater if you desire a thinner lotion. Cut open the vitamin E capsule and add the Vitamin E and essential oils at the end. Lecithin is an emulsifier, or mixing agent, that helps oil and water stay together. Mix well. Store in clean container and label with the ingredients.

While a cream is a vegetable oil with water added, it is an ideal moisturizer for dry skin, Lotion contains more water than cream, so it is thinner and less oily. The consistency of lotion makes it ideal for normal to oily skin. It has the quality of spreading easily and doesn't leave an oily coat over the skin. Adding essential oils enhances its therapeutic value.By Judy Lausch

7 Uses for Essential Oils

Essential oils, also known as aromatherapy oils, the liquid extracts from various parts of plants, are best known for their aromatic qualities. However, they can be used for much more than making your room smell good.

Below are seven common uses for essential or aromatherapy oils:

1. Purify the air

When used in a diffuser, these oils are vaporized and distributed in the air. Most of these oils have antibacterial and antiviral properties. When pathogens come into contact with the vaporized oils, these microbes are inhibited. Therefore, essential oils are effective in purifying the air of disease-causing microorganisms.

2. Set the mood

We respond emotionally to scents. These responses can have cultural and personal roots, but some are pretty common. For example, lavender relaxes, while citrusy smells tend to be stimulating. We also commonly associate the fragrance of roses and jasmine with romance. If you want to evoke a certain mood, such as when you're expecting guests at home, you can use specific extracted oils for this purpose.

3. Promote relaxation

Most aromatherapy oils, including the stimulating ones, promote relaxation. Oils of lavender, chamomile, clary sage, and patchouli are only some of the essential or aromatherapy oils best for reducing stress and depression.

4. Clear nasal passages

Some oils reduce inflammation in the nasal passages when they are inhaled. Eucalyptus, peppermint, and rosemary are popular aromatherapy oils to help alleviate respiratory congestion.

5. Ease symptoms

Even when these extracted oils may not completely resolve a health problem, they can often relieve symptoms. This is why they are also used as palliatives during periods of illness and disease. For example, sometimes just by getting more relaxed, a patient can feel better (such as perceiving less pain).

6. Improve skin health

Essential or aromatherapy oils are readily absorbed by the skin. According to "Aromatherapy: A complete guide to the healing art," after a full-body massage with 2% dilution of lavender extracted oil, its main chemical constituents could be detected in the blood, reaching its highest level 20 minutes after a massage.

7. Support and strengthen the immune system

Finally, essential or aromatherapy oils can help strengthen and support the immune system to fight infections. Some aromatherapy oils such as lavender and thyme have been shown to effectively inhibit microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi.

These are only seven of the most common uses for essential oils. We have not yet touched on other uses, such as around the home, and with pets. That's how useful essential oils are.

Remember, these extracted oils are potent. Even when you use only a few drops, their effects can be powerful. Take the time to learn how to use essential oils effectively and safely.By Alexis Rodrigo

Camphor Oil - Its Essential Aspects

Camphor is the white, waxy, terpenoid and transparent with a strong aromatic odor. It is extracted from Cinnamomum Camphora from the lauraceae family and it is also called true camphor. Although this oil has toxic effects, it can be used in vapor therapy to clear the lungs. Camphor oil is produced in 3 fractions known as white, yellow and brown camphor. Among these only white is used as it has clear and fresh smell, the other two are not used in aromatherapy because they are toxic and carcinogenic due to the presence of safrole.
It can be used for many purposes like arthritis, bronchitis, cold, coughs, depression, fever, flu, gout, infections, inflammation, insect repellant, muscular aches and pains, nervous tension, oily skin conditions, rheumatism, shock, sprains. It blends well with citrus oils, lavender, eucalyptus, rosemary and spicy oils. But this white camphor oil should be avoided with homeopathic and while pregnant because then it may cause skin irritation.
The active component of camphor oil is found in every part of the camphor tree and this tree is native to Taiwan, China, and Japan and can often grow very old. The tree must be at least 50 years old at the time of extraction of the oil. Camphor oil acne is one of the important uses of camphor and it is used in a number of professional acne skin care products. It helps in revitalizing and rejuvenating the skin and it can be effectively combined with castor oil to treat acne.
In cases when hair is falling due to bacterial and fungal infections this herbal oil can be used effectively. Along with antiseptic qualities camphor oil fights fungus and viruses naturally to help bring back healthy and nourished hair. It is one of the best oils that can nourish your hair and make them healthy and shiny and can be used by anyone who suffers from hair loss. As it has anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and anti-viral property, it is very useful in case of scalp related problems and dandruff. Regular use of this oil should be accompanied with plenty of water, nutritious diet and adequate rest for its complete benefits in the growth of the hair. This herbal remedy is also used sometimes for eyebrows.
The aroma of the camphor oil promotes calmness and provides soothing effect to the one using it. It has amazing ability to treat various disorders as we have discussed above and hence, it is one of the best oil to be used in day to day life.
