TREATING SHINGLES WITH ESSENTIAL OILS

Shingleshelp with Essential Oils
Jacque Gurney, CNHP, HHP, THC, owner of Millenial Wellness and Botanical Education Foundation,says:  Shingles are the chicken pox virus that lays dormant along the spine.  Life stresses, low immune function and dietary weakness will cause it to re-manifest, so it is important to eat a healthy diet, with no sugar, to get plenty of rest, and to manage your thoughts and your life’s stressors in a healthy way. 
The most common area to get shingles is around the center of your body
Here are some powerful uses of essential oils for managing Shingles: 

·   For the Immune System make capsules with a blend of Cinnamon, Clove,  Eucalyptus Radiata and Orange (2 drops each) and fill capsule with Grapeseed oil - 3x daily.
·   For on-site Pain and Healing 
     Mix into a 4 oz bottle filled 1/3 of the way with GRAPESEED oil and add:  
     40 drops Ravensara
     20 drops Lavender
     15 drops Birch (or Wintergreen)
     15 drops Rosemary
     15 drops Peppermint
     10 drops Oregano  

I like to use a spray bottle for large areas.  If shingles are near to the eyes this is too hot a blend for that area.  Apply 4 times per day minimum, and more if needed for pain.

You can make capsules with 2 drops Oregano, 2 drops Peppermint, and 2 drops Rosemary, then fill the capsule with grapeseed oil and take the capsules internally 3 x daily until breakout subsides.
 Also, apply Ravensara and Rosemary along the spinal cord.  

Other Options You can Use

·   Apply 3 drops each of Rosemary and Lavender  on location as a back-up if you’re not getting results

·   For nerve damage, apply Helichrysum.  There is no essential oil as good as Helichrysum for nerve damage or for inflammations, but as it is costly, most people use it as a last resort.

·   Apply diluted Lavender oil (diluted with Grapeseed oil) to the area to soothe inflamed nerves, then massage Geranium on top of Lavender, and if necessary, add Helichrysum and or Myrrh on location.

·   Myrrh can be applied directly on location of Shingles.

·   For emotions use Geranium as needed (inhale, put by corners of nose, on temples, and back of neck.
Use only medicinal grade essential oils (not those available at Health Food Stores).  If you want to purchase medicinal grade essential oils from Butterfly Express use this link for 10% off your first order (no memberships required).

If you don't have grapeseed oil, dilute essential oils with another carrier oil - - such as olive, almond, etc.

“I need to tell you how Rosemary essential oil helped my mom (D. Jenkins).  When we got to her house on Saturday, she was literally covered with shingles pox welts (face, arms, back, legs, mouth, hair).  She was swollen and inflamed everywhere as well as in a lot of pain and crazy from the itching.  I suggested that she immediately begin using Rosemary, as that was what I had, but she was hesitant to take the Rosemary internally (I made her the capsules for her anyway).  So we mixed Rosemary with Grapeseed oil and put it on her sores.  She said she could feel the nerve tingling and shocking sensations quit and the itching subside right away.  The next morning, the redness and the swelling was gone and she said she had slept all night, the first time in months.  Needless to say, she was in tears and so grateful.  It really was a miracle.

I was nervous at first because I didn’t want to give her something that would aggravate it even worse.  But it made such a difference for her.  If it continues to heal the way it did over the weekend, then maybe she can get past this awful pain.  It made me wonder if Job had shingles the way it looked.  Thank you – thank you from our whole family for listening to the spirit and going the extra mile to help her when you were so busy.”  Love,
Jerri A

Nutritional Bio Scan Dramatically Improves Overall Wellness!

LETTER FROM CLIENT:

"My Bio Scan with Jacque Gurney was a wonderful and enlightening experience. I learned so much about the state of my current health in such a short amount of time. It was amazing! Suspicions and questions that I had about my health were clarified and answered. Along with answers, I also received valuable information regarding solutions that were tailored towards resolving my individual health concerns. This was very exciting for me, and gave me hope; as I have struggled for years with issues and concerns that even specialized doctors have had difficulty helping me with.



I really appreciated the respect and personal attention that Jacque gave to me in such a professional manner. I am so grateful for Jacque, and all that she does to bless the lives of those around her. She has taught me so much about good nutrition and how vital it is to health and wellness. Most of the solutions I received regarding my health issues were based in simple nutritional changes and improvements. Those simple changes have dramatically improved my energy levels, quality of sleep, emotional stability, mental clarity, and immune system strength. As a result, my overall quality of life is better and I find myself experiencing joy more often as I go about my day. I am grateful for the balance that Jacque Gurney and Millennial Wellness have brought to my life." 
Thank you! ~ Amy Roberts

GAIN KNOWLEDGE TO HELP OTHERS - SAVE MONEY!

LETTER FROM A STUDENT

"Jacque- I just wanted to thank you for teaching us such a great class last week... It came in handy today! My husband felt something pop in his back yesterday at work, but was not feeling to bad last night. Today, however, he could barely move...Extreme pain. He had hurt his back as a young adult, and the last time it went out it was very costly. Urgent Care, MRI's, months of Physical Therapy... 

Today, with the information that I learned from the Level 2 Certification class, I was able to make a pain/therapy blend to help his severe back spasm and give him some relief. I prayed that I would know which oils to use...grabbed your class hand-out and made a blend.

I added some extra oils to the Chiro Care blend that you had given us and applied the oils to his back and feet and then used a warm compress. I also called my Dad and Uncle to give him a blessing! After a few applications he came, walking out! Not his usual gait, but he was upright and not grimacing in pain. By tonight he is remarkably better. I'm so thankful for your classes. Love you for sharing, even though it it sooo much work! Worth every penny I pay- C

ESSENTIAL OILS FOR COLDS, FLU, VIRUS, SHINGLES


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
