One of my favorite essential oils is RAVENSARA! It is gentle enough for babies and for the elderly (undiluted) and it the only oil that I know of that really does attack VIRUSES in a safe way.
Also, emotionally Ravensara is like a spiritual disinfectant - - working in the mind and memories to blast away negative emotions and responses.
You should know that most of the essential oils that
are considered Ravensara are actually Ravintsara (Cinnamomum camphora), not Ravensara (Ravensara aromaticum). Be aware of the differences.
Ravensara is one of the safest and most-needed essential
oils; meaning that it can be used Neat (undiluted) for babies, the elderly, and
the general population with no side effects.
Babies born in hospital environments are benefitted by putting one drop
of Ravensara on each foot of newborns to protect them from hospital
pathogens.
Ravensara is most widely known as an antiviral. Most doctor visits for basic illness are
diagnosed as viruses, and the doctor will tell you that he can’t help you “because
it’s a virus”. Since antibiotics don’t
work on viruses the mainstream medical system is left without effective tools
in treating patients with viruses.
Ravensara is particularly effective in handling some of the
more miserable viruses – and is the first place to reach to resolve whooping
cough or Shingles, as well as the Flu and any respiratory
complication —especially when it is combined with Eucalyptus (Radiata). When treating
sinus infections, allergies, and even the common cold, Ravensara
will make a noticeable and immediate impact for good.
HEALING BATH SALTS (MAKE YOUR OWN)
Upon the first hints of a cold or flu (such as when
knees feel weak or eyes are itchy and watery, etc) immediately:
Take one to two cups of Dead
Sea Salt (with its high mineral content) or Epsom Salt (which is magnesium salt) and add into it:
6 drops of Ravensara,
6 drops of Eucalyptus radiata, and any other essential oils that you desire (Tea
Tree, the Pine oils, Rosemary, Lavender, the Citrus oils, etc.). Pour the salt containing the essential oils
into hot bath water and bathe as long as you can handle being in the hot
water. Upon getting out of the bath gently dry off, put
3 drops Ravensara and 3 drops Eucalyptus onto the bottom of each foot and get
into bed, with enough covers to create “sweating”. In the morning you will be greatly improved. This regimen will be negatively affected by
poor choices of food (like sugar and junk) – as most viruses are “hosted” and
not “caught” from our bad choices of poor eating and poor lifestyle.
Sinuses and Breathing: A couple of drops of Ravensara can be put into
1 oz. water, with a pinch of sea salt, some Eucalyptus radiata and a drop of
grapeseed oil. Spray the blend into the
nostrils to clear sinuses and breathing passages. It is gentle and soothing, yet kills pathogens
and allergens that create respiratory complications.
Shingles – Ravensara
is highly effective in addressing shingles (which are viral and very painful in
an adult), cold sores (also usually caused by emotional stress and are viral)
as well as genital herpes. A spray can
be made for Shingles that includes viral-killing, pain-reducing and
skin-healing essential oils. Put into a
2 oz. spray bottle 50 drops Ravensara, 50 drops Eucalyptus r., 50 drops
Lavender, 40 drops Peppermint, 20 drops Oregano and 20 drops Rosemary then fill
the bottle with Grapeseed oil. Spray
liberally onto sore and painful areas of Shingles.
Cold Sores and Genital HerpesThe blend can be directly onto Cold Sores, or
just use Ravensara diluted with Grapeseed oil. For
Genital Herpes use the blend without Peppermint and Oregano (as they will be
painful).
BREEZY essential oil (a blend of Basil, Birch, Eucalyptus, Lemon, Peppermint and Ravensara) is amazing to help people with respiratory or lung weakness. It is only one of a powerhouse of tools that are available to correct asthmatic conditions and to reduce the prescription drug load on the human system. It can be applied to the lung/chest region (for women, the back) to open up breathing. Also apply to the pads of the feet - which is the lung area in Reflexology.
The EUCALYPTUS essential oils are best for respiratory situations. They helps to open-up the lungs and bronchials ... and Eucalyptus radiata is gentle enough to apply across the bridge of the nose to open up the sinuses. It is the essential oil that I would dare use to help an infant with breathing.
Which Eucalyptus should I choose?
Eucalyptus Globulus is the most commonly used Eucalyptus and has the strongest aroma. Eucalyptus Blue Mallee has a milder aroma and is very good when used in emotional release and energy work. It also seems to penetrate more deeply into the lungs and bronchial tubes. Eucalyptus Peppermint has less eucalyptol but more menthol than the other eucalyptus varieties. This makes it more calming and slightly less caustic on the skin. Eucalyptus Radiata is gentler and softer than globulus and is preferred by many for use in meditation and energy work. Eucalyptus Blue Gum is authentic Eucalyptus Globulus which means that it is the first distillation and has not been rectified. Most Eucalyptus oils are rectified (redistilled and mixed with other distillations) to get a cineole content of 80% or more. The first distillation of an oil is usually more therapeutic, but also more expensive. Eucalyptus Blue Gum has a softer, more complex aroma and is considered to be the most therapeutic of the Eucalyptus oils. The physical and emotional aspects of Lemon Eucalyptus oil are much the same as other varieties. The high citronellal content of this oil gives it an intense lemon scent. Eucalyptus Strawberry Gum has sweet, fruity undertones and is milder than the other eucalyptus varieties.
It is best to purchase essential oils that have been wild-crafted or organically grown in the best soil type in order to get the highest chemical constituents for healing. Also, you want to purchase essential oils where the plants were harvested at the correct time of season and day for the constituents to be at their highest levels. Another important factor is that the plants were distilled at zero percent pressure so that they are full-strength ... and that they were not exposed to oxygen or heat when they were transported. You want to KNOW that one or two drops will produce a specific action and benefit so only use THERAPEUTIC GRADE essential oils from the companies that you know are reliable.
One company that I trust (and have known the owner for many years) that doesn't pay high commissions or build big expensive buildings - - or pay for big vacations ... is Butterfly Express. You don't need a membership to buy from them, and their prices are the lowest for the best quality oils. Go to www.butterflyexpress.net
