11/22- 11th day check in
there have been angels at my weakest moments. I seemed to get thru the addiction and habit part ok but the social part is challenging but there is always at least one person changing eating habits as well (one guy said he had been in the ER for what he thought was a heart attack the week before who joined me in solidarity against the flourescent birthday ice cream an cake) Healing symptoms seem to be acne (treated with tea tree)and the Eucalyptus oil-inhaling at least twice a day- is what i think healed my seemed to be approaching bronchitis without antibiotics. And snorting saline with 2 teaspoons of liquied sea salt. Also a warm mist humidifier used as a mister.
just feeling extra tired with the core food fasting and rice. Peppermint in water is a great energizer vs. coffee. Also a family member uses a drop of this every day in water for a skin rash she no longer has had that she credits the peppermint E.O.
-THANKS FOR LISTENING!thanks so much for this group and this space!
(ps -i use geranium E.O. for deoderant Vicki)

Oil successes!
On an essential oils note, I have had some great successes I wanted to share. One of my clients suddenly started to get boils, very, very infected, huge, and painful boils which she first attempted to treat with antibiotics. In addition to the antibiotics, she had to get the boils drained several times at the hospital. This reoccurred for 3 months. I finally made her a therapeutic (4%) blend with essential oils, and she has not had another one in 3 or 4 months.
Another client has had cold sores, or herpes around her mouth, most of her life. Hers flare up regularly, especially when she is stressed. After 4 years of seeing her (for other things), I finally thought to make her a topical oil blend, again in a 4% dilution, for her to apply as soon as she thought one was coming up. I believe she was also using our Tea Tree oil, pure, in addition to the blend I made her. After a month and a half, she told me yesterday that since she started using the products, her cold sores have completely dried up and were not able to develop - a first! Now I am interested in figuring out an internal blend to hopefully eradicate the virus from her system. I have heard this is possible, so would love to know if anyone has had success with this.
My recipes for these two blends are written down in my notes, which I don't have with me at the moment. If anyone is interested, I will be happy to share.

I am filled with gratitude and am really excited about beginning- When I opened this up I went to dump out the cup of coffee (and traded for hot water with lemon E.O.) sitting next to me so have really begun! I will begin the oils tonight.

Parasite cleanse...
There are several people who have decided to join us in a 3-month parasite cleanse using essential oils. I won't be able to start until next Tuesday due to travel plans, but I encourage everyone who starts this week to please keep us updated on the blog about your experiences. Parasite cleansing can be challenging, and I am curious to hear about how differently it effects each of us. Thanks, and looking forward to being parasite-free :)

Parasite cleanse, anyone?
I'm wondering if anyone else out there would like to join us, so that we can all share our experiences together? We will be using the new recipe Kathryn is offering on her website, the Parasite Free Drops, and will be adding 1 drop of wormwood to the formula (I think...I still need to dowse to see if it will be one drop or a more diluted version), and possibly neem. We're not quite sure when we'll be starting, likely sometime next week. I'll offer the exact recipe I come up with as soon as I have it.

Oils to the Rescue
The experience I am about to share is a bit personal, but I feel it is important that I share it because I believe that these experiences are really what the blog is for.
Last night, I was dealing with an extreme episode of flatulence. Due to the severity, Rebecca decided that I needed to combat my problem with essential oils. So...since my case was EXTREME, she decided to use essential oils of anise, fennel, and peppermint. In a teaspoon of maple syrup, Rebecca gave me 2 drops anise, 2 drops fennel, and 1 drop peppermint...with a tall glass of spring water to chase it all down.
Immediately, I felt the oils slowly permeate throughout my throat and upper torso. At this point, my gas was very frequent and intense. Within 5 to 10 minutes, I felt the oils moving down into my stomach and digestive tract. After only 15 to 20 minutes, I noticed that my gas was beginning to subside a bit, both in frequency and quantity.
Within 30 minutes, I felt the oils throughout my entire abdomen. After less than an hour, my gas had decreased from a very large amount about every 5 minutes, to just a small amount every 15 to 20 minutes. This was amazing. I went to bed that night free of gas and enjoyed a good nights sleep.
I had taken anise before on many occasions, but never really listened and observed to determine if and how much it really helped. This time, the relief the oils gave me was very apparent and undeniable.
Thanks to Reeb and the essential oils for their help.
Essential Oil Cocktail
Thank you Rebecca for creating this Buyer's Club blog! I am so happy to have a place to share and learn with other co-creators and essential oil enthusiasts. I admit that for me it is almost like a religion. I feel tremendous personal power knowing I can heal myself with the oils, guidance and dowsing. Recently I caught myself. I was conversing with a local spiritual and herbal medicine teacher that mentioned that she had become ill and was using antibiotics. I was so shocked and disappointed that I was at a loss for words when the answer could have been so simple: "Essential oils are powerful antibiotics and at the same time build your body rather than compromise it."
Just last night I was laughing to myself about being an "essential oil cocktail"! Presently I have many oil dilutions that I am using to attend to various facets of my healing, regeneration and ascension. With recent swollen discs I added even more oil treatments. Normally I spread out the use of them throughout the day. But I had neglected it all day. Lately, I have been using Frankincense as an ascension oil on my solar plexus; a blend of cypress, cayenne and tea tree on a toe fungus; an inflammation blend and rose geranium for the swollen discs at L4-L5, L5- Sacrum; and a juniper berry homeopathic internally along with a rock rose compress on my bladder for a bladder infection that created my swollen disc. I also have a blend for aligning my energy so the plate in my wrist from surgery aligns with my life purpose connected to future automatic drawing and another treatment for healing my vision. Whew! This is more than I am usually working on at one time. It was late and I was tired. Since I had neglected to use them all day I dowsed to see if I could put all on (except the last 2 I forgot till later!) and get in the bath for driving in the oils. I got a yes so I did it. There I was in the hot bath: an essential oil cocktail! I am wondering if this is as effective as segregating their use throughout the day. It was definitely faster. Usually I soak my foot in a bowl of hot water, etc..... I wold appreciate any thoughts or guidance out there. Thanks!!

Simplify with a Spreadsheet
Monday, November 1, 2010
Pricing your products
Here is a quick chart with estimated drops of oil per different sized bottles, so that you can do your own calculations at home:
1 ml = 20 drops
5 ml = 1 teaspoon = 100 drops
10 ml = 2 tsp = 200 drops
15 ml = 1 Tablespoon = 300 drops
30 ml = 1 ounce = 2 Tablespoons = 600 drops
1 ounce bottle = 600 drops
2 ounce bottle = 1200 drops
4 ounce bottle = 2400 drops
8 ounce bottle = 4800 drops
I hope this helps, and would love to hear what others are doing.
Hurray!
Welcome!
I am a passionate, essential oil enthusiast, and yes, certified aromatherapist too. I know that oils will always be a huge part of my life, and I hope that this blog makes it easy for us all to grow and learn together.
