Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 I have just joined the group. I belong to other herbal groups and things but thought this would be more well rounded as it covers EVERYTHING! I am somewhat new to natural medicine (been into it for maybe 6-12 months now and LOVE it by the way). I cannot wait to be part of this group and gain more wisdom. I do have an question...I am extremely new to essential oils. I recently aquired a recipe from a friend for thieves oil. I have mixed it but would love to know of all the uses of it. She suggest it for sickness but are their other uses or no? I also know that you rub a few drops on the bottom of your feet...now if you are new to this, I read to dilute it with olive oil first also when using it on a child...is this the right thing I read? Want to make sure I have it right before trying it. Can essential oils be harmful in any way? Thank you all. Marci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Marci,I just recently started using Thieves after a surgical incision was determined to be infected with MRSA, a penicillin-resistant infection. My primary recommendation is to dilute it using vegetable oil or honey (for oral use), or a base oil used for massage. I have been rubbing it directly on the incision and after only using it for a week or so, I'm noticing a big difference both in the way I feel, and in the appearance of the incision itself. My husband recently used it orally to ward off a cold, as well as a urinary tract infection. I hope this helps! TraceyOn 12/28/05, Marci <twilli55 wrote: I have just joined the group.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Dear Marci, Thieves Essential oil is from " Young Living Essential Oil Company " , the recipe is NOT a secret it contains clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary. State University Ogden Utah tested it and found to have a 99.96% effective rate against airborne bacteria. I use Thieves as antiseptic agent for house cleaning, brush my teeth with it, put on my hands after using public facilities, and so on. YES, Essential Oil can be dangerous. Thieves and others can irritate you skin, eyes (if you touch it with your finger with even little oil on it), you skin can be photosensitive after applying some oils (avoid the sun). I would not recommend Essential Oils for very small children before educating your self about how they work. On the other hand " Peace & Calming " blend is perfect for children. Not every Essential Oil is therapeutic grade, and Therapeutic Essential oils are NOT aromatherapy oils although some smell pretty nice. So Marci I suggest, go to http://www.youngliving.us/ try different links and see what is there. Another side to explore is http://www.essentialscience.net you can find books and more on Essential Oils. If you want to order from Young Living you need sponsor/ distributor to register, if you want you can use my name/# Jolanta van Dijk-Pietrzak ID#669710.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 I use Thieves Oil neat on the bottoms of my feet and orally. It is considered a hot oil because of the cinnamon in it. Some people can tolerate a drop on the tongue better than others. I use Thieves anytime I am going to be around a group of people. I have been using it for almost three years and have not had the flu. I am a true believer in it. Sherry L.

I can tell you the oils that are in it, but not the amounts. Please give me a few days to respond. My husband and I are dealing with the impending death of a friend. I mainly came online to delete email, but I saw this and wanted to acknowledge it. I will post the oils that are in " Thieves " as soon as I get a chance.
