Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hi Mandy; Many use the eoils internally, self included, all ages pretty much. > They are very powerful but I am interested in the > internal usage. They are pretty strong. Any comments on this? Aside from essential quality discussion in other post, Care is taken to begin with 1 or 2 drops in vegetable capsule, with a little olive or other oil for extra caution. They may also be taken in ghee, honey, cider vinegar, on bread, but not in water except very dilute. 1-3 drops per liter or more water is wonderful with 1 peppermint and 2 lemon or 1 fennel in summer for keeping cool with digestive support, also for high acidity, excess or insufficient thirst and poor hydration - people tend to drink more if not enough, satisfied if excessively thirsty. Best avoided in plastic, especially with oils like lemon or clove which can etch the plastic and introduce even more xenoestrogens. With throat gargle, 1 drop in little water, which may temporarily sting while it does its work. Of course, there are many simple herbal remedies for these things. I have no real comparison for some issuesj. Many westerners often like simple, small bottles, can pay for it, and they like not having to open the herbal bag or use powders or even pills which they may already take too many of! may need fast and safe up front results to turn then around, while we get the herbal, dietary and lifestyle homework in place. This is more how I use with friends, family and clients. Most commonly in support for antibiotic effect around super bugs (MRSA), candida, viral, respiratory, acute as well as chronic problems. Normal adult dosage we find effective for heavy anti microbial support is 8-12 drops in capsule, 3-4 times daily for 5 - 8 days. Some take with meals, some have stronger system and take between meals, sometimes timing is indicated by system involved. Many families have not used medical antibiotics in many years who used to have such frequent problems, of course less call in any case with lifestyle and topical eoils use, even without ayurvedic balancing, herbs, yoga or meditation. French medical doctors researched no negative liver effects on their practice of long term use over 3 months of over 42 drops per day with some chronic cases. I have on my computer detailed report of much more than that used including clary sage internal for hormonal support thru pregnancy for Dr. Young's wife at ages 52 and 56 respectively! Without Ayurveda understandings, she had still good vaginal births, but not able to breastfeed and from a distance it appears to me the vata must have been more difficult for them to manage that way. A friend reported yesterday her friend, heavy diabetic man with high cholesterol down in 2 months 25% using once a day in capsule ful of 4 chosen eoils. Only other therapy there was more and better quality water, avoiding sodas, and brown rice. Dr. G.Young now sells several eoils and eoils enhanced supplements enterically coated for disolving in intestine for best results. Personally I find one of them too strong on pitta for any regular use as they recommend but for many who are more impure dietary/lifestyle history it works wonders given the level of ama. You may be interested to know that the Young Living Co states in print three types of use in their usage guide, sent with every order - with safety codes for each oil or blend on how to use - inhallation, topical, and internal! They can do this because of the quality, research, and experience in clinical settings. English model uses oils very dilute, founded by wife of an MD... German model does a lot of inhallaton psychotherapeutic work. The French model of aromatherapy literally may use them in every orofice as appropriate, and often will send someone with sore throat to the pharmacy for (true therapeutic quality) lavender to dilute and gargle a drop or two. Of course, they charge a lot, one cannot buy essential oils in Europe I think, certainly in France, without an RX! And that does not address the causative factors, only in this case, pain and sometimes, invading organism in the throat. However these French physicians have text format like physicians desk reference, in this case physician's desk reference on eoils uses, where you will see much we can understand even through the foreighn language of latin origin. for instance, Frankincense not only as are with many essential oils). For clients with cancer and other serious diseases, oral use is part of many physicians' protocol who are using these oils, with tremendous value to enhancing oxygenation, reducing free radicals, antimicrobial, kicking or neutralizing toxins, enhancing immune system function, etc. This is not the ayurvedic words, forgive if I overstep my boundaries! But the bhasmas and some other more powerful ayurvedic therapies are not available in the US, and what we have to use here is often not enough with such problems. I must also say, this is offered by way of reporting, I am not qualified to manage these kinds of issues, but can share resources. Personally used, to effectively dissolve a precancerous but large cervical growth, 2 capsules bid vaginal of a mix of frankincense, myrrh, helichrysum and a blend called Immupower with some of frank/myrrh, black cumin, clove, and other things for about a month, though primary dissolution took place in first 1-2 weeks. Then the emotional work with 4 blends, and significant mostly raw for a while dietary work took some months for balance. The myrrh is very kind and soothing as well as reproductive specific, many properties indicated. The helichrysm helped reset ether element, hemostatic, also very kind to tissues. One chooses with the same wisdom, properties, guna attentions as with ayurvedic herbs for best results. These were not diluted. I know some who use eoils internally (oral) for emotional work, usually much less is needed if put on right place especially. Dr. Carolyn Mein has very detialed study on Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils involveing accupressure " emotional alarm " point application and more which used with some clients. They love the experience but if they are not doing other homework (yoga, meditation, pranayama, dietary, prayer) holding power to even continue for long term results is not to be expected for most cases. Some situations do release with few applications. An essential oils mentor Vicki Opfer tells of doing the " raindrop therapy " on a woman with golf ball size lump in upper back tissue, benign. Woman was asked when it came up, and as they gave the time frame deeper attention, several drops Frankincense was applied. Total dissolve by end of session, some emotional trauma was clearly involved. Of course, this kind of reslut is not always the case. Vicki also shared about an elder woman who was severely depressed and for that reason not taking care of herself. Nursing aides came in daily to bathe, dress, feed, and care for the home as a result, tho she was capable. Her son called to see if the eoils would help, and with the elder's agreement both on phone and in person, 4 blends were applied directly to the woman's skin which have very minor carrier oils in them but are gentle and skin friendly oils. The results were delayed several days. usually people report feeling better as you must know, within 30 seconds to 4 minutes. At followup session 1 week later, the woman had self bathed and dressed, been out by herself and had her hair done, and her home was spotless! Many need to have their own essential oils and apply 1 - 4 X daily, others respond like this - it depends on circumstance, depth of the problem, innocence, compounding or repeating influences, etc of course. Physical level problems may take more repeat application. Sexual abuse clients tend to carry around a blend we have for several months, maybe going thru 3 bottles before the trauma vibration in amygdala gland gets softened enough to be still a memory but not repeating patterning/imprint. Personally went thru 2 bottles, smelled and made emotional body feel like silk when I smelled and applied it - on sanskaras from abuse relation in past life with family member. Other oils usually in repeat sessions are valuable especially to get things rolling, along as always with Lifestyle and personalized homework as above.
