Chronic respiratory congestion was horrible ( posted at http://www.oil-testimonials.com/essential-oils.php? tID=7060&sID=374941 )

Author: Lotte Bowen

Posted: 04-10-2012

From one of my friends who finally began to Think Oils First!

I am so dang fed up with starting each day congested and breathing hard. Went to my oils and pulled out Helichrysum, Purification & Eucalyptus. Rubbed a few drops of each on my chest/throat. Within a minute I was clear and breathing very well.

It's a half hour later and am still clear! Worked every bit as good as an inhaler and is probably doing a whole lot more as it soaks in. I had been reading an article you sent about Purification when it dawned on me to try some oils. I don't know how I come up with the combinations that I do but I'm sure grateful when they work! Not only breathing well but really deeply for the first time since all of this started.

Just a little Happy Oiler News from TX!

My comments

Interesting combination of oils. Eucalyptus is very good for sinuses and lungs, Helichrysum is a good anti-spasmodic, reduces pain and inflammation, Purification is a great blend, which includes Tea Tree (for fungus) and Lemongrass (for lymph cleanse), Rosemary,

Myrtle and other great oils for immune system.

Re: Sinus Infection help

hello friends,

I'm struggling with a sinus infection. can you please guide me thru

oils/supplements I should be using? with my limited/new knowledge of oils, I

m taking theives, inner defense, peppermint on my head and lots of garlic,

vitamin D and C and A internally.

thank you

Dear Laura,

For sinus infection that has reall work for me is taking 2

00 capsule of Exodus II and put Eucalyptus Blue on the

balls of the feet and then all over the feet following the

Thieves. I also apply to the chest. Those go into the

vocal cavity and breaks up the mucus.

It will even clear up mucus that comes from drainage

from the sinus overnight that is not infected in 2 days.

Very Very powerful

God Bless, Nancy Sanderson

Hello oilers!

Yes, garlic cloves are amazing to pull out infection and gain relief. We have

also used RC blend, filled capsules with lemon oil 3x's a day and the breathe

again roll on. Another thing you can do is cut an onion in half and set it in

the room, it will draw infection to it and youll actually see it!!

Helen

Hi Augustines and Oilers,

A peeled clove in each ear secured with a headband, has healed our sinuses, pink

eye and ear infections, not to mention it has staunched colds and flu.

I also lean heavily on YL Oregano and oregano capsules.

Maria

Hi Maria and Friends,

I also am dealing with an on coming sinus infection. I have never heard of

the garlic clove in the ear.

"Also a garlic clove in each ear"

Would you please explain further? Do you actually place a clove in each ear

canal? If so, for how long a time period?

My comment: I remember my friend, Boris, used to put garlic cloves in his nose.

I tried it too. I did not do anything for me, though it sounds like a good advise. I remember, my nose would get irritated from the garlic.

Hi Laura and YLEO Friends,

Try using a neti pot with purified water and sea-salt and I would use a couple

of depos of Eucalyptus Blue too.

Also a garlic clove in each ear and chiropractor adjustments are good too.

Feel better!!

Maria

Dear Laura,

I hope you're feeling better by now. If not, I would use Melaleuca Alternifolia (tea tree) for Candida, definitely would do an enema or a suppository, would watch my diet, use an oil for emotional support (more important than anything else you'll do!), and tell yourself, that you're not sick, use other positive thoughts, & you'll see, you'll feel better soon.

I have lots more info on my web site, if you like:

Get better soon!

"Rub a bit of peppermint on the roof of your mouth and your sinuses will drain

completely!"

Posted at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/PineHillGroup/message/37944

Dear Deb & YlOilers Everywhere,

Just a few changes & additions have changed my winter health

forever!

Whenever I feel that "uh oh!" -stuff is draining down the back of my throat-

feeling, or even body aches, sore throat, or sneezing & coughing begins, I apply

Purification with my finger just slightly inside the nose.

>Here's the trick. Put a drop -neat- (unless you have a painful nose from

blowing, then dilute a bit w V6 or olive oil) in the left palm, stir with the

right index finger. Then, using thumb & index finger (keep index finger on the

inside of the nose each time by just twist-adjusting your hand up or down),

simply gently pinch the left outside wall, then the middle cartilage, and the

right outside wall of the nose. Repeat again with more oil from your palm. When

the oil is gone from the hand, take deep breaths of the hands, cupping them like

an inhaler. We usually feel better by morning. If not, repeat! This costs a

penny or two, and may be repeated as needed. This works much like the Zycam

swabs that were discontinued by the FDA.

Gently pinching the nostrils prevents delivering the Purification too deep into

the nostril. (That is NOT a good idea!) Just like the old Zycam swabs, the

instruction is to deliver 1/8 of an inch into the nose on the inside of the

outer wall of each nostril. I like the "pinching" technique, but one may also

use a q-tip and deliver Purification to the inside of the outer nasal walls in

each nostril.

This, coupled with thieves spray to the back of the throat at the first sign of

"a bug" (Yeah it's intense, but better than suffering with a sinus infection or

a debilitating pneumonia cough for weeks on end) and I also use inner defense (1

with each meal for a day or two if I sense it is really "something").

The other preventative I use daily is vitamin D3 (5000). This is the flu

preventative dosage; this, in my opinion, is worlds safer than the flu shot

(don't get me started!), and infinitely more effective! Many natural health

practitioners say D3 is a necessity for people living north of the Mason Dixon

Line.

I supplement with D3 almost daily, whenever I feel ill, but especially in the

fall & winter unless I am taking a daily walk. I also take (with food!) 50 mg

of Zinc if anyone around me is sick, and continue for a few days, especially if

I feel something coming on, or if I get sick....

These little changes have saved me so many times from getting any number of

terrible illnesses that swirl around us. As a Mom, teacher, counselor &

professional singer, this knowledge has been invaluable to me.

Blessings!

My motto~Oils in Every Home!

Most health problems stem from our negative feelings. Here is an interesting information about the formic acid we secrete when in fear.

From The Chemistry Of Essential Oils Made Simple by David Stewart

Formic acid is a burning toxin in some ant bites and wasp stings as well as the sting in stinging nettles. As for its fragrance, it is pungent to say the least. One whiff of formic acid and your eyes will water, your nose will run, your throat will burn, you will start coughing, and you'll probably get sick to your stomach.

You may have noticed that people who are afraid of bees and hornets are more likely to be stung than those who are not. This is because formic acid acts like an alarm pheromone to certain stinging insects and drives them into an attack frenzy to protect their territory. Since you secrete traces of formic acid in your sweat when you feel scared, fear of stinging insects can actually draw them to attack you.

End of the article

There are many ways to get better. Below is a copy of the letter I sent to a friend of my uncle's and 2 great articles from Younglivingcircleblog.

I have tried for many years different therapies for my son: acupressure, homeopathy, enemas, many herbal products & essential oils. However, I never saw results as quick and effective as with Young Living.

When I did Vitaflex (put oils in a specified order on my son’s spine reflex on his feet), then Raindrop on his spine & covered him with a hot towel, then diffused 2 drops of Frankincense mixed with 1 drop of Raven, his mucous poured out thru the night like an open faucet.

When he got sick this year, he stayed home only for 2 days – last year he missed months.

Not adding mucous to your body every day will help immensely (I would like to know what you drink & eat, so I can help you make some changes, if you like).

We discussed many subjects over the phone, but probably not everything. If you have any questions, please call.

Here is the introduction to essential oils:

https://sites.google.com/site/younglivingeu/home/biofrequency-and-dis-ease

This is what I would do:

1. Cleanse the colon before going on a lemon cleanse (Master cleanse)

By cleansing the colon you cleanse all the organs of your body. Then it is easier to go on the lemon cleanse – less toxins will go into your blood stream & organs of elimination.

Print out 2 documents attached on the following page:

https://sites.google.com/site/younglivingeu/home/using-oils-for-different-problems/colon-hydrotherapy-cleanse

1. Do you juice? Fresh made juice is excellent for nutrition and cleansing. Wheat grass juice & aloe (only fresh-made). Try to add lemon, or drink afterwards.

http://eugeniyamusic.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-greatest-weight-loss-myth-ever-told.html

1. Do you have a sinus problem?

2. Sea salt baths daily with Thieves oil in the tub & apple cider vinegar – skin is the largest organ for detoxification

3. Young Living oils: cleanse, rebuild, and help with your emotions:

Following oils are great: Raven (lungs), RC(sinus), Basil(muscle release), Thyme(muscle relase & break up mucous), and Frankincense (works like a steroid), Believe (helps you open up your mind), Peppermint (anti-mucous, anti-bacterial) and Eucaliptus (opens up lungs, decongests). Start by putting them on your feet – the spine and lung/bronchi areas.

Here is the foot chart:

http://www.younglivingworld.com/MainFrame.asp?BodyFrame=resources/problems_main.asp

Click on Free Training, then Vita Flex Technique, then on "Vita Flex Foot Chart."

It is good to put the oils on your spine to detox the whole body & re-build cells.

Put 1 drop of Thieves oil in a glass of water or hot tea

1. Lemon cleanse

You’ll need salt (without iodine), cayenne pepper, molasses, and herbal tea. Please read the instructions below.

Even if you don’t go on it completely right away, drink lemon with cayenne pepper anyway. Salt is good too.

What salt do you use at home?

1. Candida – Thieves oil (1 drop in a glass of water or tea, etc.) – works immediately. I take it often.

And coconut oil

From

http://www.warrior-priestess.com/essential%20oils%20stories/candida.html

I have had success dealing with Candida by eating therapeutic amounts of virgin coconut oil. I used to have vaginal symptoms as well as all kinds of systemic ones and since I've been eating the VCO, it is a night and day difference. The first couple of weeks on the oil, I had bad die-off symptoms but then it all cleared up and it's been great! And it's getting my thyroid in balance.

1. Kefir and organic raw apple cider vinegar ( start with 1 table spoon in 1 glass of water, add lemon), plus other fermented foods. For example miso, sauerkraut, etc.

I drink lemon and kefir whenever I feel a need to break up the mucous or digest too much food I’ve eaten.

By the way, Young Living has a great oil for that: Di-gize:

My E-mail to my friends:

Last night I was a happy Mom – my son was sleeping without any problems. And this morning I got a call from my husband, congratulating both, my son & I, with getting well.

After having anxiety about midterms, fueled by my husband’s decision to take away the X Box in case of bad math score, my son, Joseph, got a sore throat. He was recuperating quickly, when we had an unfortunate circumstance to run into our neighbor, who made a huge mistake of reminding my son about the consequences of having “asthma” after a cold. My son’s sore throat by then was gone & he was almost well. However, my well-meaning neighbor brought back old memories and fears, and long and behold, my son got really sick & used inhaler that night twice! It probably did not help either, that he played basketball that night and used his inhaler twice there. I was not happy to say the least; however, we had to deal with it. Being so sick, just like the old times, and that’s after he was doing so well for such a long time. That was on Sunday night. On Monday night Joseph used his inhaler once to go to sleep. And that was it. Today, Thursday, he went to school, feeling well and sleeping like a baby thru the night!

What did Joseph and I do to get well? Vita Flex on his feet a few times a day, diffused RC, Raven and Thyme, used individual oils on his Vita Flex on lung areas, RC on his throat, Raindrop, took ImmuPower, Copaiba (2 drops in a capsule) and topically, Frankincense mixed with RC (1 to 2), BreathAgain between his ribs, drank Lemon essential oil(2-3 drops in ½-1 glass of water with freshly squeezed lemon, had hot water with salt in the morning, JuvaFlex on his liver (front and back), baths with sea salt and Thieves, essential oils retention enemas (once with RC & Frankincense, and once with Copaiba – 2 table spoons of V6 mixed with 14 drops) . Joseph ate many grapefruit and stayed away from computer and X Box most of the time and even did a few exercises for his lungs! When he felt cold and too mucous, I put Cinnamon or Wintergreen on his chest, back and feet. Basil and Marjoram, as well as Peace and Calming, followed by Peppermint was used a few times as well.

A lot of work in a short time – and it paid off!!! I just hope that he learned a lesson from all this.

Here is a suggestion I read in on-line PineHillGroup@Yahho.com about using oils for Sinus/mucous::

"Some of those oils are Copaiba and Hyssop. He can try taking a capsule of half and half

Lavender and German Chamomile which according to Gary are powerful

antihistamines.

There is a blend for sinus conditions which my family has used successfully for many years -- 10 drops Peppermint, 5 drops Eucalyptus Radiata and 2-3 drops Tea Tree diluted 50/50 with a carrier oil. Apply 1-2 drops to a cotton swab and swab inside of nostrils 3 times daily."

(Lung airway impairment) I was diagnosed with COPD 4 years ago and being

slightly stubborn, I refused to accept the diagnosis. I did not smoke, did

not drink and still do not. After hearing what the doctor diagnosed me

with, I went the traditional medical route of medications and steroids,

which did nothing to improve my situation based on pulmonary testing. My

lowest point was 65% lung capacity and a base oxygen rate of 92% during my

pregnancy with my healthy 16 month old son. After my son was born, I

realized that if I wanted to be around to see him grow up and be the healthy

and involved kind of mother I wanted to be, something had to change.

So 15 months ago I changed my diet drastically, cutting out 90% of all wheat

and dairy products. I stopped ingesting white sugar. I started drinking

water instead of Dr. Pepper. I restricted my intake of red meat and

increased my intake of vegetables and whole foods. I based all this

information on the book Eat Right for Your Blood Type. I started taking

supplements that would help support my immune and respiratory system,

primarily a multi-vitamin, probiotic, extra Vitamin E and minerals. Then I

rediscovered aromatherapy. About the time of my diagnosis, I was learning

about aromatherapy from an acquaintance who was a YL distributor. Sadly,

she did not share the YL opportunity with me at that time. If she had - it

might not have taken me four years to return to health! After nearly a year

of changing my diet, my pulmonology test results were 74% lung capacity and

96% blood oxygen. (Nov. 2003)

As I was increasing my health through a better diet, I stumbled upon my oils

I had purchased in the past (some YL, some not) and went to work anew on the

research of their properties and possibilities. That research led me back

to YL, where I discovered more information to help with my diet and health

goals.

I signed up as a distributor, purchased a slew of oils and supplements. I

started cleansing my liver and focusing on acid binding foods, continuing to

stay away from the same bad things like wheat, white sugar and dairy.

I now carry Frankincense with me everywhere. I started putting Frankincense

on my chest before going to bed at night and inhaling it and applying it

anytime I started to cough or feel tightness in my chest. Before my

Frankincense days began, I was taking a nebulizer with toxic medication 2 -

3 times a day and was so dependent on it that it went with me everywhere I

went - to the store, to church, to work.

I have been using Frankincense religiously since December 2003. It is now

March 2004 and I had a pulmonology test last week. I tested at 102% large

airway lung capacity and 99% blood oxygen. I have not used my nebulizer in

over a month. I went to work today and realized after about 6 hours that I

forgot to bring it with me! I use lots of other oils in the course of a

day, but my Frankincense is my most prized oil and the one I always have

with me. I had 90% scarring in one lung from several bouts with pneumonia

and the doctors were amazed that my lung has regenerated itself so that most

of the scar tissue is gone. When they asked what I had been doing, I told

them I changed my diet, used Frankincense and weaned myself from my

medications. The looks on their faces were priceless - I went from a

beloved patient (after all, they did see me quite frequently) to "one of

those alternative health weirdoes" in about three seconds!

I hope this miracle story encourages someone you love. I truly believe my

recovery is miraculous and I am so thankful for Gary Young and his

dedication to the health and well being of others! And please share YL with

others - you never know who might need a miracle!

April

I forgot to mention one important thing that Gary Young said about anything

to do with lungs. He said to do a rectal implant which I did and found

relief of my symptoms within seconds. I purchased Fleet enema which I

emptied and rinsed out and filled with V-6 and several oils. I did the

rectal implant prior to going to sleep at night and did this for several

months. It was probably the most important thing I did for my COPD

symptoms. Caroline

I had some miracles with the oils and respiratory conditions with the use of

Di-Gize, Raven, Thieves, RC and at night-Trauma Life in a capsule! A

capsule of Thieves and Di-Gize. At night, add Trauma Life to capsule.

Diffuse RC and Raven. Rub on lung points on feet. Take capsules. The

capsules of Thieves and Di-Gize were of key importance. Many breathing

conditions are connected to the digestion. In 5 years, no inhalers, no

tablets. Only 1 quick trip to ER for a bad asthma attack! Also, rub hands

and ears. Penny

And also some on quitting smoking...

I put on Valor followed by Harmony and almost immediately had no desire to

smoke. I even tried to keep smoking and not only did the cigarettes taste

horrible, but the mental and emotional disparity between poisoning myself

with cigarettes and these beautiful healthful essential oils was so striking

I had to stop. I've quit more times than I can count and this was probably

the first time I was able to stop cold turkey with almost no emotional and

physical withdrawal. I went through a bottle of Harmony in the first 10

days and lots of Valor, Grounding and some White Angelica. A drop of

Thieves under the tongue helps a lot and has worked even in people who have

smoked for many years. Diane

I have heard Jean-Marie Freidman say that she used Peace and Calming to help

her successfully stop smoking. She said she sniffed it constantly through

out the day. Best Wishes! Shar

Dear Lorie and JOYgroup

I quit smoking December 31, 2000. I was tired of being a smoker and

smelling like an ashtray. But it was also my best friend that comforted me

when all went right and wrong in my life. I was frightened of living

without my buddies and I was frightened of failing. But guess what?

I DID IT! Clove and Peppermint dropped in my mouth at different times

throughout the day helped with cravings. I used Clove most of the time, but

when the craving overwhelmed me I put a drop of Peppermint on my tongue and

took several deep breaths. It worked like a charm! Sulfurzyme every day

and orange juice also helped.

Looking back, I should have cleansed during this time. I wholeheartedly

believe it wouldn't have been as difficult if I had cleansed (including

liver cleanse) while I was quitting.

Plan for success - get a game plan on how to deal with the cravings. I used

Clove and Peppermint for my cravings. Water and orange juice were other

ways of adding strength to fight the cravings. I would play a game of

Solitaire to reward myself for getting through a craving without "caving in"

to it! You must truly want to quit or nothing will work. There are no

quick potions to halt emotional and physical cravings, only these wonderful

oils to lend assistance when needed! Peace and Calming, Hope, Joy,

Forgiveness, Harmony and Into the Future are other oils I found helpful on

my adventure to be smoke free! Peace and Calming is my favorite! PLAN FOR

SUCCESS!

Congratulations to your sister for wanting to quit! She has taken the first

big step! I pray she finds the strength deep within to give herself the

gift of life! Pass this on to her - congratulations!

With kindest remembrances. Namaste, Nicole

Hi

A drop of Clove in the mouth a few times a day apparently helps with smoking

cessation, but the new Thieves Lozenges are wonderful and strong. I don't

smoke but my hunch is they sucking on them would take away the yen for

another cigarette. Hope this helps, Kiki Bakshi

Hi Maureen

I don't have a personal experience with this, but in my Aromatherapy class

today I learned Patchouli and Geranium together would help stop the craving

to smoke. Nimisha Jimenez

Essential Oil Uses A-Z-Allergies and Asthma

Allergies are no fun and when you are having symptoms you want them to go away as quickly as possible. An allergy can be triggered by food, pollen, fungus, mold, environmental chemicals, dander, dust, grass clippings or insect bites.

You may want to give these ideas a try;

• • Put 1 to 2 drops of Lavender essential oil on the palm of your hands, rub your hands together, and then wipe your hands on your face, neck, and arms, and anything not covered.

  • Put 1 to 2 drops of Lavender on the palm of your hand and now massage onto the bottoms of your feet.

  • Put 1 drop of Peppermint on the palm of your hand and cup your hands over your nose and take several nice long deep inhalations. (Be mindful to not touch your face with your hands, just cup your hands about an inch away from your nose and face.)

To help the lungs open, the following oils may help;

Peppermint, RC. (blend), Raven, and Eucalyptus Blue.

Apply any of these oils to the chest, either neet or with a carrier oil. Then apply the oil to the bottoms of the feet, to the right of the ball of the foot which is the reflex points for the lungs.

When applying R.C. to the foot to increase the oxygen, apply Marjoram on top of the R.C. This may help to drive the R.C. into the smooth muscle of the lungs.*

A handy item to have on hand and which is very convenient to carry in your pocket or purse is, Breathe Again Roll On. Apply it to your throat, neck or chest every 15-30 minutes for up to four applications. This may help for relief of symptoms related to colds, coughs or sinus/lung congestion, or asthma.

Breathe Again™ Essential Oil Roll-On is a proprietary blend of oils specially formulated by D. Gary Young, to support respiratory health. Breathe Again contains four powerful eucalyptus oils: Eucalyptus staigeriana, Eucalyptus globulus, Eucalyptus radiata, and Young Living’s original Ecuador single, Eucalyptus blue. Eucalyptus oils contain high amounts of cineole, which has been studied for its potential to support healthy lung function. The essential oils peppermint, myrtle, and copaiba also play an integral part in this blend. Breathe Again is available in a portable roll-on applicator, making natural relief available anywhere.*

Asthma

When one has asthma and has an asthma attack it can be very uncomfortable and scary. The causes of asthma could be caused by so many things, from milk, bananas, greasy products like fries, pizza, chemicals, air fresheners, perfumes, cleaners, floor wax, or even bathroom and household cleaners. This can make many of us that suffer from asthma, have lousy days, where we would so much rather be doing things outside or just feel better, period!!

We may need to change our personal care products to get away from products in the stores that have unwanted ingredients in them. Think about it this way, by putting chemicals and toxins on our body those unwanted ingredients are soaking in through our skin and going to other parts of our bodies, cells, membranes, organs, etc. Now by using healthier personal care products, you lessen the physical reactions and may begin to feel much better very quickly.

We are constantly having to fight free radicals, just by breathing in the air that is contaminated, to the water we drink, to the clothes we wear. Don’t you think it would be better to try to help our bodies, as much as we possibly can. We are the ones that pick and choose and make the choice of how to treat ourselves. If we want to feel better, we need to take the steps towards these changes, so that we have a healthier more comfortable life.

Young Living has a wonderful line of personal care products, from shampoos and conditioners, soaps, skin care, lotions, edible fluoride free toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, household cleaner and much more. (Even products for the pets we love) You can be assured that the products you buy are healthy, safe and heavenly.

If you suffer from asthma, I hope you choose to make these changes, and along with changing your personal care products there are essential oils that may help to.

Please take note:

ASTHMA CAUTION: Essential oils should not be inhaled for asthma-related problems. The oils should be applied to the soles of the feet or ingested (if they are GRAS – Generally Regarded As Safe-During an asthma attack, the bronchials (air tubes) in the lungs become swollen and clogged with a thick, sticky mucus. The muscles of the air tubes will also begin to constrict or tighten. This results in very difficult or labored breathing. If an attack is severe, it can actually be life-threatening. Many asthma attacks are triggered by an allergic reaction to pollen, skin particles, dandruff, cat or dog dander, dust mites, and foods such as eggs, milk, flavorings, dyes, and preservatives. Asthma can also be triggered by respiratory infection, exercise, stress, and psychological factors.

The following essential oils and convenient roll on, may be important natural products to have in your medicine cabinet, your purse and on your person to be prepared for the next time asthma attacks*

• • Wintergreen

  • R.C.

  • Breath Again Roll-on

  • Eucalyptus radiata

  • Lemon

  • Lavender

  • Rose

  • Frankincense

  • Marjoram

Other Blends:

• • Raven

  • Inspiration

  • Sacred Mountain

Essential Oil Application:

Topical: NEAT, 2-4 drops to soles of feet 2-3 times daily

Ingestion: CAPSULE, 00 size, 2-4 drops , 2 times daily

Please note that the quantity for children will be less, as essential oils are amazingly powerful in every single drop.

My hopes are that you find value in this information and most importantly that you experience great health now and into the future.

Natural Ways May Ease Asthma Symptoms

Natural, alternative therapies for Asthma comfort? Wouldn’t it be nice to have an alternative? Another choice that may be complementary to the therapies you are currently using? In this article you will learn of “natures” alternatives for natural remedies that are readily available.

Asthma is an inflammatory disorder of the airways, which is characterized by variable and recurring symptoms causing attacks of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. These symptoms may be prevented by avoiding triggers, such as allergens, irritants and stress.

The prevalence of asthma has increased significantly since the 1970s. As of 2009, 300 million people were affected worldwide. In 2009 asthma caused 250,000 deaths, although generally with treatment, prognosis is good.

Common symptoms of asthma include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and coughing. Symptoms are often worse at night or in the early morning, or in response to exercise or cold air.

Many environmental risk factors have been associated with asthma development and morbidity in children;

Environmental tobacco smoke, low air quality from traffic pollution, outdoor air pollutants or high ozone levels, along with pets and dust mites.

The most effective treatment for asthma is identifying triggers, such as cigarette smoke, pets, or aspirin, and eliminating exposure to them.

ASTHMA CAUTION: Essential oils should not be directly inhaled for asthma-related problems. The oils should be applied to the soles of the feet, rectally inserted, or ingested (if they are GRAS – Generally Regarded As Safe) During an asthma attack, the bronchial (air tubes) in the lungs become swollen and clogged with a thick, sticky mucus. The muscles of the air tubes will also begin to constrict or tighten. This results in very difficult or labored breathing. If an attack is severe, it can actually be life-threatening. Many asthma attacks are triggered by an allergic reaction to pollen, skin particles, dandruff, cat or dog dander, dust mites, and foods such as eggs, milk, flavorings, dyes, and preservatives. Asthma can also be triggered by respiratory infection, exercise, stress, and psychological factors.

D. Gary Young, founder of Young Living essential oils, always makes it a point that the best way to the lungs is through the rectum. Get a baby syringe and add the oils like RC, Thieves, and all the Eucalyptus Oils to the syringe with V6 mixing oil and implant them in the rectum before bedtime. You may use capsules of the same formulas. He recommends about 5-15 or 20 drops, depending on the seriousness of the lung problem.

Asthma Can Be Scary When It Hits

Jonell Elder

Asthma is becoming more and more common to the point that you may know of someone suffering from asthma. For anyone with asthma, they are very aware of how scary an asthma attack can be. One really starts to worry if their inhaler is not near.

People with asthma experience symptoms when the airways tighten, inflame, or fill with mucus. Common asthma symptoms include:

• • Coughing, especially at night

  • Wheezing

  • Shortness of breath

  • Chest tightness, pain, or pressure

Still, not every person with asthma has the same symptoms in the same way. You may not have all of these symptoms, or you may have different symptoms of asthma at different times. Your symptoms may also vary from one asthma attack to the next, being mild during one and severe during another.

Some people with asthma may go for extended periods without having any symptoms, interrupted by periodic worsening of their symptoms called asthma attacks. Others might have asthma symptoms every day. In addition, some people may only have asthma during exercise or asthma with viral infections like colds.

Mild asthma attacks are generally more common. Usually, the airways open up within a few minutes to a few hours. Severe attacks are less common but last longer and require immediate medical help. It is important to recognize and treat even mild symptoms to help you prevent severe episodes and keep asthma under better control.

Know the Early Symptoms of Asthma

Early warning signs are changes that happen just before or at the very beginning of an asthma attack. These signs may start before the well-known symptoms of asthma and are the earliest signs that your asthma is worsening.

In general, these signs are not severe enough to stop you from going about your daily activities. But by recognizing these signs, you can stop an asthma attack or prevent one from getting worse. Early warning signs include:

• • Frequent cough, especially at night

  • Losing your breath easily or shortness of breath

  • Feeling very tired or weak when exercising

  • Wheezing or coughing after exercise

  • Feeling tired, easily upset, grouchy, or moody

  • Decreases or changes in lung function as measured on a peak flow meter

  • Signs of a cold or allergies (sneezing, runny nose, cough, nasal congestion, sore throat, and headache)

  • Trouble sleeping

If you have early warning signs or symptoms, you should take more asthma medication as described in your asthma action plan.

Know the Asthma Symptoms in Children

Asthma affects as many as 10% to 12% of children in the United States and is the leading cause of chronic illness in children. For unknown reasons, the incidence of asthma in children is steadily increasing. While asthma symptoms can begin at any age, most children have their first asthma symptoms by age 5.

Asthma is characterized by inflammation of the bronchial tubes with increased production of sticky secretions inside the tubes. Not all children with asthma wheeze. Chronic coughing with asthma may be the only obvious sign, and a child’s asthma may go unrecognized if the cough is attributed to recurrent bronchitis.

The use of therapeutic grade essential oils is an alternative and natural way of healing, and I have experienced seeing relief when using these different practices during an asthma attack. Using essential oils and also making changes in your household environment could be exactly what you need to see a substantial change in your health.

Please note that in this article I am referring ONLY to Young Living Essential oils, as they are the best quality oils available.

ASTHMA CAUTION: Essential oils should not be inhaled for asthma-related problems. Essential oils should be applied to the soles of the feet. During an asthma attack, the bronchial (air tubes) in the lungs become swollen and clogged with thick, sticky mucus. The muscles of the air tubes will also begin to constrict or tighten. This results in very difficult or labored breathing. If an attack is severe, it can actually be life-threatening. Many asthma attacks are triggered by an allergic reaction to pollen, skin particles, dandruff, cat or dog dander, dust mites, and foods such as eggs, milk, flavorings, dyes, and preservatives. Asthma can also be triggered by respiratory infection, exercise, stress, and psychological factors.

The following oils may work really well for asthma relief:

• • Peppermint

  • RC

  • Raven

  • Eucalyptus Blue

Apply 1-2 drops of any of the above oils to the bottoms of the left foot, with approximately ¼ teaspoon of V6 or a carrier oil, such as extra virgin olive oil, onto the center part of the foot next to the ball of the foot. This is the lung Vita flex point.

Should you feel the need for more oxygen, apply 1-2 drops of R.C, with approximately ¼ teaspoon of V6 or a carrier oil, such as extra virgin olive oil, once again to the lung area on the bottom of the left foot, to increase the oxygen, and apply 1-2 drops of Marjoram over the R.C. which has already been applied. This drives the R.C. into the smooth muscle of the lungs.

(Please refer to the Vita Flex Foot Chart below.)

Just as a precaution it would be a good idea to have Breathe Again Roll On on hand at all times. This convenient roll on can be applied to the throat, neck or chest every 15-30 minutes for up to four applications for relief of symptoms related to colds, coughs or sinus/lung congestion, or asthma.

Breath Again Roll On is a proprietary blend of oils specially formulated to support respiratory health. Breathe Again contains four powerful eucalyptus oils: Eucalyptus staigeriana, Eucalyptus globulus, Eucalyptus radiata, and Young Living’s original Ecuador single, Eucalyptus blue. Eucalyptus oils contain high amounts of cineole, which has been studied for its potential to support healthy lung function. The essential oils peppermint, myrtle, and copaiba also play an integral part in this blend. Breathe Again is available in a portable roll-on applicator, making natural relief available anywhere.

Another beneficial way to help be less symptomatic with asthma attacks would be to change your personal care and household products to green, chemical and toxin free products. You and anyone else around, including pets, would be much better off to change your living environment in this way. Young Living has what you need to get you on the right track to live with pure, natural, green personal care, household and even pet care products.

Think about it this way, by putting chemicals and toxins on your body or using them while cleaning, those unwanted ingredients are soaking in through your skin, you are breathing the awful chemicals into your lungs, along with them going to other parts of your bodies cells, membranes and organs.

We are constantly having to fight free radicals, just by breathing in the air that is contaminated, to the water we drink, to the clothes we wear. Don’t you think it would be better to try to help our “temples”, or bodies, as much as we possibly can.

We are the ones that pick and choose and make the choices of how to treat ourselves. Let us all make the choice, to respect ourselves and our loved ones by making these changes in our lives.

It is wonderful to know how our lives can benefit from pure, natural, safe products and that is why I am so very proud and passionate about Young Living Essential Oils. I am thankful to be able to share now and forever the beauty and power of essential oils, man kinds first medicine. Please contact me, as I would enjoy hearing your comments and to help in answering any of your questions.

Note: Not all essential oils are the same. Therapeutic-grade essential oils are steam distilled and wild crafted, their oils are carefully extracted by way of hot water and steam and they are free from any synthetic chemicals. Many labels use the words “For External Use Only,” which means that they might include chemicals other than pure oil. Read more on quality.
