Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Had a request for this to be posted from someone to private email. So here it is. Recipe for anti-viral - anti-bacterial oil. One company in particular calls this blend " Thieves " , another calls it X-Plague, I call it A GOD SEND!!!. My sis and I both use it daily to protect against any colds etc. Helps build the immune system (it is said) and kills virus and bacteria. My 4 yr old grandson comes to me everytime he visits with a cold. Three days at gamma's, and he's healthy just with this oil, 2 drops on each foot twice a day. 2 parts - Cloves 1 part - Rosemary 2 parts - Eucalyptus, globulus 2 parts - Cinnamon leaf or 1/2 part Cinnamon bark 1 part - Eucalyptus, radiata 2 parts - Lemon Francie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what is the difference between the Eucalyptus, I have never seen different ones in the UK, they all just state Eucalyptus - would I need to buy specialist 'oils', or are they the normal aromatherapy oils.

Eucalyptus - there are 5 chemo types I know of. When I say chemo- types - means different chemical constituencies which means different action. If you use one and don't have the action you are told you would have, chances are it's not the same chemo type. So where to get them, first: In UK you may have more luck with THERAPEUTIC grade. Many oils may be diluted or adulterated either by adding things before or after distillation...those are not pure. An oil may be pure, but not therapeutic. Chemotypes also vary with soil weather variations. The difference is that therapeutic means it has been harvested and distilled in a manner that allows it to retain the correct chemical constituencies in the CORRECT proportions that a French government agency has determined makes it work at the proper intensitive. That level of accuracy is not used by many plant harvesters or distillers. To verify that an oil is " perfect " or will allow the action intended, a test called gas chromatography is one of the first critera. Yet there are subtle ways to adulterate oils now or produce synthetic oils that have no action at all, but still pass the GC test. Finding a company or producer that one trusts is important. Here are some things to ask to find if a producer is of the highest quality. Are fragrances suble, rich,organic and delicate. Are batches sent to thru 5 different chemical analyses before it's released. Are tests performed by independent labs. Does supplier grow and distlill its own organically grown herbs. Are distillation facilities part of the farm. Are plants distilled using low pressure and low tmep. If you are buying Eucalyptus, for instance and it does not say what chemo type it is, you may be getting a variety or mixture of chemotypes which may not hold the action you want. Eucalyptus Radiata; Botanical family Myrtaceae (myrtle) Origin is Australia Chemical Constituents: Monoterpenes (8%) cx-pinene, monoterpenols 20%): linalol, borneal, geraniol. cx-terpinol (14%): Monotrpenals: Terpene oxides: 1.8 cineol (62-72%) Action: Anti-infectious, antibacterial, antiviral, expectorant, and anti-inflammatory. Traditional uses: antimicrobial oils sstudied for its action agains viruses. this oil is used extensiviely for respiratory infections. Eucalyptus Globulus Botanical famil: Myrtaceae (myrtle) Plant Origin: Australia, Brazil Chemical Constituents: Monoterpenes: cxpinenes (10 -12%) sesquiterpenes: Sesquiterpenols: Terpen oxides: 1.8 cineole (70-75%) Action: Expectorand, mucolytic, antimicrobial, antibacterial, (staph, strep, pneumonia) antifungal (candida), antiviral, antiseptic, and aids respirtatory system Traditional uses: Autralian aborigines used the leaves as a disinfectand to cover wounds. Lab tests show a powerful antimicrobial agent, eucalyptol. Often used for the respiratory system. Insect repellent. Eucalyptus trees planed throughout parts of north africa to successfully block the spread of malaria. Accorting to Jean Valnet, M.D. a solution of 2 percent eucalyptus oil sprayed in the air will kill 70 percetn of airborn staph bacteria. Som doctors stilluse solutions of eucalyptus oil in surgical dressings. Hope this wasn't too long or boring francie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
