Fibromyalgia, Reiki, and a question

[Guest guest]

Greetings all and Warm Welcomes to all the newcomers!

 

I'm pretty new here as well. I've been into alternative medicine for as

long as I can remember, but I'm actively pursuing my education in that area

now, since we discovered that my husband has fibromyalgia.

 

Carol, we're experimenting with eo's right now, so I can't give you a

" guaranteed to work " blend, but here's one we're trying right now:

It's a combination of " Depressed & Achy Blend " someone suggested to me (I

don't remember which list it was from

In 4 oz carrie oil:

 

8d Rose otto (this is good for depression)

4d Helychrysum (this is good for muscular aches)

2d Patchouli

5d Frankincense

 

Another Blend to try is

3d Geranium (hmm, yum, I think this one's my favorite

3d Helycrysum

3d Roman Chamomile

3d Lavender

 

You can also try a bath with:

2d ginger

3d eucalyptus

4d rosemary

 

There's a lady on another list I'm on: " AromaSpirit " that made a special

blend for fybromyalgia by request of a friend, and she's sending me a trial

size for free since it's in the testing stages. Would you be interested?

I can forward your e-address to her or send you her URL.

 

Right now, hubby is having most trouble with sleeplessness and indigestion.

I've tried a few drops of sedative eos on his pillow and in the massage oil.

I've also tried teas with chamomile and Kava Kava. But he still has to

take " tylenol PMs " if he wants to get more than 2 hours of rest. And I

don't know what to do about the indigestion, lately, it doesn't seem to

matter what he's eating, and he's changes his diet drastically to

natural/whole grains and fruits & veggies, doesn't seem to help... unless he

has an allergy that we're not recognizing.

Any suggestions from anyone?

 

Ok, on to the next subject

Sure! I'll agree with you except to add that while it all comes from the

same source, call it Jesus, Ra, Allah, God, Goddess, or whatever you relate

to, there's a difference in the vibrational frequency of the energy ran. My

Reiki teacher is really good at running different forms of energy so that

you can feel the difference. Certainly, I am NOT SAYING that one is better

or worse than any other, just different. And I can safely say that it

doesn't have to do with religion, just spirituality. But if you ask me, all

that energy does is (at least it's true for Reiki) aid the body in healing

itself. And attunements just make it easier for you to tap into running

that particular energy, but EVERYONE has access to univeral LIFE energy just

from the virtue of being ALIVE!

 

And lastly, I have a question.

>Rosemary 30 gtts -

 

Dorlen, what is gtts? I'm not familiar with the abbreviation. Thanks!

 

 

Blessings and Loves to all!

What I find helpful in addition to my EOs for the sleep issue is SAM-e,

an amino acid that helps create both serotonin and melatonin the ine body.

Aloe vera juice three times a day, plus dietary change helps with the

digestive issues..... along with licorice and alfalfa.

Need more? Just ask. I'm so much better (been out of it since early

1990) now I think I may even get a life back.

I use Kava Kava for muscle spasms along with very hot baths with Epsom

salts and EOs.

If you have a good juicer, have him try a juice fast for several days and

see if that doesn't help with the digestive issues.

I understand gtts to = drops.

On indigestion - we keep chewable papaya enzyme tablets in the house. They

were helpful for my husband during chemo treatments, and we've kept them on

hand ever since for the tummy.

Hi All....

 

Back when I was in High School you could still take Latin for the foreign

language requirement....some folk gave me a hard time for wasting my

efforts with a " dead " language.....I thought it was kinda *cool* to be

reading Caesar's Commentaries.....I've forgotten a lot of it due to non

practice....but it pops up everywhere...

 

The abbreviation " gtt " refers to " guttae " .....which is Latin for

" drops " ...

French.
