Colds
Purification
"You will meet many people in public that have been sick and coughing for months. In 4 years I have
never failed to get great results with Purification, The key is application and my favorite method
is a gargle. Put 1-2 drops in 1/2 oz of water (in a glass glass, not styrofoam) and gargle for 60
seconds (not 10 seconds like most people). There will be an immediate cessation of the cough [just
2 weeks ago I did this for an 81 year woman coughing for 8-9 months and no help from 3 different
antibiotics; she got 24 hours of relief before I gave a 2d dose. Do this gargle 2-3 times/day for
2-3 days and I have yet to see the respiratory system not be "balanced" (eliminating the cough completely)."
Melaleuca
An exerpt from the book "Natural Home health Care using Essential Oils" by Daniel Penoel, M.D.
"This issue deals with MELALEUCA Alternifolia: Your first defense against
bacteria and infections.
The famous "tea tree oil" (TTO) is now known throughout the world. Its fame is well deserved.
Personally, I [Dr. Penoel] have used it in daily medical treatments for 17 years. Consistent success with this oil has given me great respect for its healing and protecting properties.
The reader who discovers TTO for the first time while reading this book, and who, after opening a first bottle expects to experience a beautiful aroma, will probably be disappointed. The fact is, we are talking about the oldest fight in Nature, the fight against infectious disease. The intention of
nature in giving us anti-infectious aromatic molecules is not to launch us
to the seventh heaven of olfactory delight. There are other essential oils
for that. the goal here is to help the body in its fight against a bacterial
attack. Melaleuca is a fighting oil. It's tour de force lies in its extraordinary antiseptic power and
remarkable anti-infectious activity, while retaining an exceptional mildness. It is absolutely non-aggressive
with regard to the mucous membranes.
At the very practical, family application level, all that is needed is a
simple, first-step, "tea tree oil response." It is one of the safest and
most effective ways of controlling and eliminating minor infections. The
classic example for using this oil occurs in cases of sore throat,
pharyngitis, and other throat infections.
The secret to success in using TTO for combating sore throats is immediate action. The moment you feel that unpleasant tickle at the back of you throat, signaling that an inflammation is starting, you must be prepared to act. Therefore it is necessary to keep with you wherever you go a small bottle of essential oil. If you are at the office, the factory, or even school, you will not have time to leave and go get a bottle of TTO. You have to keep working and take care of yourself with discretion.
Let's imagine the following scenario:
Mary, 23 years old, works in an office. She caught a cold when she went out this morning, and by 11:00am, she felt soreness in her throat and it was becoming painful to swallow. Mary knows very well from past experience how this type of problem evolves in her. Normally, she will spend several hours with a serious throat infection, which eventually turns into a fever and significant fatigue. She then visits her general physician who always prescribes antibiotics and several days rest. [but this time she had TTO with her]. Mary takes her little vial of melaleuca alternifolia essential oil. unscrews the cap, and puts the pad of her little finger on the opening. She turns the flask over to get a small amount of oil on her finger, and wipes the excess on the edge of the bottle opening. (A trace is sufficient, and Mary remembers that the calculation made by Dr. Penoel, using Avogrado's number, shows that just a trace of this magic substance contains about 4,000 million billion molecules of terpineol-4. That's 4,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules!) Mary collects some saliva on her tongue and then applies the pad of her little finger to the upper surface of the tongue. The trace of EO mixes with her saliva and, after about 10 seconds, Mary moves the saliva to the back of her throat, where her tonsils are bathed by the oil and its infection-fighting strength. Then she swallows everything, for she also read that the real origin of a throat infection is often inside the intestinal flora.
This entire process has taken less than 20 seconds and is not even noticed by her co-workers. Within seconds, Mary is pleasantly surprised to feel a noticeable relief from this first application. this discomfort inner throat is slightly anesthetized, but not in the same way those pills from the
drugstore (which contain contact anesthetics) do it. Mary knows that this treatment is really helping her whole body. Dr. Penoel explained that the secret to success lies in frequent repetition of this simple application, at very close intervals at first, but spacing them according to the relief felt.
Every minute for ten minutes, Mary applies the trace on her tongue.
Additionally, Mary applies a few drops externally: one drop along each
lateral surface of the neck, behind the ear, below the corners of the lower
jaws. After these 10 internal applications and the two externalapplications-all done in less than 15 minutes-Mary is really feeling confident about what she is doing, because she feels an action that is both powerful and mild, and she senses her energy level rising."
Flu
"I got the flu and used Thieves in capsules (10+ drops + olive oil every 3-4
hours) and also used RC on my chest, sinuses and inside my nose for
congestion. While everyone at church was still sick for 2-3 weeks, I got
over mine in about a week. Hope this helps, C."
