Frankincense as a night cream. Instead of using the expensive night cream, this person, now uses a
drop of frankincense in a couple of drops of carrier oil (Note Blog about carrier oils to choose a safe and effective one for you), every night after washing your face. It works so much better and keeps your face feeling healthy and moisturized.
Lemon capsules for a cold. A man came down with a cold, and was concerned that it might progress into chronic bronchitis as it so often had in the past for him. He started making lemon capsules with 4-8 drops of lemon oil filled up with grapeseed carrier oil (note check the Blog on carrier oils). He took 4 capsules before bed, and by morning the cold was gone without a trace. He kept taking a few capsules for a day or two just in case, and everything cleared right up. He also used lemon in his water for a few days after that just to be sure.
Peppermint and motion sickness. This person used to get a lot of motion sickness. Now whenever
they feel it coming on, they get out their peppermint and either put a drop in their drinking water if they have water handy, or take a small trace on the back of their hand and lick it. It's strong, so don't take too much, but swish it around in your mouth. It seems to take away the motion sickness, and feel better right away. They noticed that they need to use it at the first hint of motion sickness, however, or it gets away from them. It doesn't work if they already green and ready to heave. Nothing works if it's to that point.
Sweet Basil for abdominal stress. This person used to carry a lot of stress in their upper abdomen.
They could feel it sitting there like a hard knot. When they started eating more fruits and vegetables, it eased up a bit. But they noticed that when they used a drop of sweet basil essential oil on a regular basis in their water or in a capsule and applied it diluted right under their ribcage, the stress seemed to lighten up. They love putting a little basil in everything -- water, recipes, herbal tea, tomato juice -- anything, it seems to settle them down.
Sunburn relief for a family of 8 from a few drops of True Lavender.
Last summer while this family was visiting Disneyland, the family of 8 forgot the
sunscreen and all got sunburns on their necks. All they had was a bottle with a few drops of true lavender left in it. They knew it wouldn't work to put those few drops on all of them, so they decided to use a little of their drinking water in the palm of the hand and dilute the lavender in it (water doesn't dilute, but it made it go further). They were able to spread those few drops of lavender to everyone in the family, and the sunburn relief was instant for all of them. True lavender never ceases to amaze them!
"Essential oils are so complex in their make-up and interactions that the formulator may not be able to predict with certainty exactly how the final blend will perform. Neither will he or she know for certain, before the blend is mixed, exactly what its aroma will be." (Dr Penoel, MD)
