This is great information on new uses for oils by Dr. Debra Raybern:
While studying for my aromatherapy certification, I learned some very interesting uses for essential oils. Uses we have not generally known about. You should probably print this out and paste into your essential oil reference book for ready access to the information.
Bergamot oil relieves insomnia through inhalation.
Cypress oil– One expert believes that in all of aromatherapy there is perhaps no oil more effective than cypress oil to counteract an infection, of either the throat, nose, or bronchi in its early phase. Used at the first sign of a sore throat, it is typically sufficient to arrest the process and prevent the development of subsequent bronchitis or a cold. One drop cypress oil is taken orally as soon as scratchiness or soreness in the throat begins. As the turpentine taste develops in the mouth, any soreness in the throat will be overshadowed (really!). After a few minutes though, the taste changes, taking on a relatively pleasing character. As the throat soreness returns another drop of cypress in taken. This is repeated until one gets used to the taste. After the third, fourth or fifth application, the soreness will usually not return. Such prompt response to a body signal of distress, brings about quick and lasting results.
Helichrysum oil is effective in joint pain associated with Rheumatoid arthritis. Apply topically.
Geranium oil is remarkably effective against candida and other fungi. Geranium acts against the yeast, without affecting beneficial bacteria - take orally. Used topically, it soothes pain in the breasts before and during menstruation. May be used neat or diluted 50/50.
Myrtle oil is especially useful in treating hay fever, especially when the person feels the need to change oils. Inhale several times during the day. Works much the same as peppermint on children without the harsh smell that sometimes is too strong for infants.
Hyssop oil is perhaps the strongest anti-viral and is suitable for herpes and fever blisters, apply topically and take orally. Not always suited for those with high blood pressure.
Lavender oil may normalize blood sugar output by the liver. One or two drops taken orally fifteen minutes before a meal will noticeably reduce the appetite.
Marjoram oil can be used in place of tea tree/melaluca oil and is of great benefit in cases of whooping cough, acute bronchitis. It can be taken internally or applied externally.
Melissa oil is one of the strongest anti-viral oils in aromatherapy (along with hyssop). Rubbing on the temples will also ease a headache. Melissa and hyssop are both best used at low concentrations. Melissa inhaled is also great in cases of depression.
Patchouli oil is a good tonic for vein health.
Peppermint oil, as if we needed another reason to use it, is listed in French aromamedicine to strengthen and regenerate the liver.
Ravensara oil is primarily used for viral conditions. It also has great value as a nerve tonic. It works wonders for the flu, mononucleosis and insomnia. For the treatment of acute flu, ravensara is best taken internally (1 drop every 2 hours) and/or applied diluted externally. Its most notable use is for shingles.
Rosemary oil – just a few facts on this one. According to essential oil experts, rosemary oil is one of the most adulterated oils. Rosemary stimulates the production of bile which digests fats. (Aren't we glad we have Young Living)
Spiknard oil has the chemical component valerenal, responsible for sedative effects. Rub neat over heart and on chest to relax. Spiknard is the oil known to benefit dandruff.
Spruce oil restores depleted adrenal glands. Combined with pine oil and applied over the kidney/adrenal gland area will reenergize. Coffee lovers listen up: combine spruce 5 drops, cedarwood oil 2 drops and peppermint oil 1 drop, to ounce Young Living Genesis Hand and Body lotion and use as a body lotion after your morning shower lets you leave the coffee behind and stay invigorated for several hours. Be sure to massage over the adrenal glands.
Tarragon oil is an effective anti-viral agent, and anti-spasmodic. Back spasms, legs cramps should benefit from using this oil. Taken orally it can also bring relief to allergy sufferers.
Vetiver oil is also good for endocrine support and to strengthen a weakened immune system.
So now you have even more ways to use your oils to support greater health and wellness. Consider equipping your home with some or all of these oils to be ready for whatever this years cold and flu season bring.
