VETIVER Essential Oil

Some info I've collected on VETIVER (certified pure therapeutic grade) . . .

Vetiver Oil is characterized by an aroma that is pungent and earthly. It has been revered for its ability to ward off anger, irritability and nervous tension.

Vetiver improves the brain activity and reduces the symptoms in ADHD diagnosed subjects. Similar results were found with the essential oil Cedarwood. Blend these essential oils into a base oil (fractionated coconut oil) and massage it onto the child’s feet.
Try vaporising my own “Sanity Saver” blend containing Vetiver, Geranium, Australian Sandalwood, Patchouli and Ylang Ylang. This simple and earthy blend stops their minds racing so that you can focus on one thing at a time. It helps to restore some peace and balance to all of your lives. I use the same blend to keep me grounded during my busy brain times.

VETIVER essential oil is thought to stabilize the body, says Batdorff. This grounding can help eliminate guilt. "Using this essential oil will help you feel 'in your body' rather than having your attention on everyone else because you're worried about how you're affecting them or what they are thinking about you, "Batdorsf says, "It build self awareness. It also nourishes the kidneys."
To use it, put one drop over each kidney (directly above your waist and 3 inches from each side of your spine) twice a day. You can also inhale the oil whenever you are feeling guilty.

LEMON ESSENTIAL OIL

A little information on Lemmon Essential Oil - Therapeutic Grade.

Dr. Valnet states that the vaporized essence of lemon (when diffused in a diffuser) can kill meningococcus bacteria in 15 minutes, typhoid bacilli in one hour, Staphylococcus aureus in two hours, and Pneumococus bacteria within three hours. Even a 0.2 percent solution of lemon oil can kill diphtheria bacteria in 20 minutes and inactivate tuberculosis bacteria in the air.

Lemon oil has been used for anemia, asthma, herpes, warts, shingles, bleeding, malaria, parasites, rheumatism, throat infections, sore throats, ureter infections, and varicose veins.

To Quick-Purify Water:
If you're in an area where the water is suspect, add two drops of lemon oil to a glass of water and stir. Let it sit a couple of minutes, the pollutants will come to the top. Skim them off with a spoon or place a clean napkin or paper towel over the top of the water and let them absorb into the napkin.

Balancing pH:
Lemon essential oil provides a pleasant way to help balance your pH. The pH of lemon is just about perfect for the human body. So if your body tends to run too acid, drinking a few drops of lemon oil in water two to three times a day is a healthy practice.

• Place a drop of Lemon oil on cold sores, herpes or other mouth ulcers to lessen pain and aid in healing.
• Put a drop of Lemon oil on bleeding gums caused by gingivitis or tooth extraction.
• Rub a drop of Lemon oil to clean a butcher’s block or other cutting surfaces.
• Put a drop of Lemon oil on oily skin or acne to balance sebaceous glands (oil glands).
• Rub several drops of Lemon oil on cellulite to improve circulation and help eliminate waste from the cells.
• Rub two drops of Lemon oil topically to clear athlete’s foot.
• Rub several drops of Lemon oil on varicose veins to improve circulation and relieve pressure on the veins.
• Rub a drop of Lemon oil on a wart morning and night until it disappears.
• Rub a drop of Lemon oil on a corn, callous or bunion mornings and evenings.

NOTE: All citrus essential oils and bergamot are photosensitizing, so avoid applying to skin that will be exposed to direct sunlight or UV light. Sunscreen will “not” protect you.

It is also recommended that you NEVER mix therapeutic-grade essential oils with other products that contain synthetic chemicals or petrochemicals. Therapeutic-grade essential oils will break them down. When a drop of therapeutic-grade lemon oil is put on a styrofoam cup it dissolves it!

Carpet Cleaning - "We used 10 drops of Lemon Essential Oil for each gallon as we cleaned our carpets today. It was amazing how it brightened up the rug and helped pull stains out....and what a fresh smell! We got daring and decided to use Lavender Oil for the bedroom and it was great! I also noticed that by having the Lemon EO in the solution, there was not a problem with foaming in the dirty water." Happy Housekeeper in Georgia
For many of us, the color and fragrance of a lemon bring to mind freshness and vitality. While the uses of lemon and lemon juice are countless and varied, perhaps the strongest effect Lemon Essential Oil has to offer is that of lifting our spirits, particularly when we face mental fatigue. Lemon oil helps the body face physical and psychological weariness, most strongly influencing the mind by supporting concentration and the ability to memorize. In Japan, a test showed a 54% decrease in typing mistakes when lemon oil was diffused into an office area.

Rather than exhibit an extreme acidic quality, Lemon Essential Oil works as an excellent stabilizer of the body's acidity - alkalinity content.

AND THATS JUST LEMON ESSENTIAL OIL!

Therapeutic Essential Oils

Hi - well I decided to create a blog for my Essential Oils information. I'm still learning and this is more for my notes and hopefully to help anyone who comes across this to learn something about what kinds of Essential Oils to use and which ones not to use.

My first experiences with Essential Oils was with soap making - I bought the essential oils for the best price I could find, thinking I was doing something really great using real essential oils and not synthetic fragrance oils. Little did I know there was not much of a difference. There is "energy" or "frequencies" associated with essential oils - only the Therapeutic Essential oils have the high frequencies needed for healing, the lower grade oils are full of toxic chemicals, pesticides and fertilizers and low frequencies so no healing benefits and can even be toxic! Even if the distillation process is not done right the complex chemical makeup of the oil can be damaged thus lowering it's "frequency" making it useless in healing.

So, first thing first, finding the right company to buy from. There are only a few out there that would qualify and from reading and talking to people who have used essential oils extensively I decided on doTerra and the rest is history!
