Essential Oils and Homeostatic Supplements

My wife's name is Linda.  She is (in the Lord) the light of my life.  Compared to me, she's been blessed with generally good health; and so, has not had anything terribly serious to deal with.

However, there've been a few things for which the therapeutic-grade essential oils and homeostatic dietary supplements have been of particular benefit.  They've played a major role in her health, from restoring her hearing to helping with depression to balancing her body systems.  Here is her story.

Boosting her energy level:

Besides the impressive results she saw with the liver cleanse program, Linda has found significant help for her energy in therapeutic-grade essential oils and homeostatic dietary supplements.

Whatever your goals with supplementation, it's important to start with a solid foundation.  Linda has found that in the living homeostatic multi.  She's found the nutritional support from this to be better than anything else she's used.

However, her job is pretty stressful, and some days she needs a little more of an energy boost.  One of the things that has helped a lot has been a homeostatic adaptogen supplement.  It's a stimulant-free support to her ability to adapt to stress.  Even then, she has the occasional day when her energy is still not up to normal.  At those times, she will alternately:

• Place a few drops of peppermint oil in the palm of her hand, dip her tongue into it, and then rub the rest of the oil on the back of her neck.  The oil leaves its aroma on her hands, so she cups them over her face and inhales deeply several times.
• Apply the energy oil blend to her wrists, temples and the back of her neck.
• When she feels that she is tired from over-doing, she applies a few drops of rosemary oil over her kidney/adrenal gland area and on the Vita-Flex points on the instep of her feet, around her navel and the back of her neck.

All of these have been very effective applications for her, boosting her energy without a stimulant effect.

Help for "that time of month"

For Linda, as with a lot of women, "that time of month" is not always the most pleasant experience.  And, as Linda passed 50, the problems could be even more pronounced.

But, she's found that regular use of the homeostatic female balance supplement, and the essential oil female blend, have helped a great deal.  The female blend, along with the glandular blend, have helped a lot with hormonal balance, as has the homeostatic female balance supplement.

The glandular blend has also helped with energy, by supporting the thyroid and adrenal glands.

For cramps, she also uses basil and marjoram oils, applying them on location.

Support for digestion and liver function:

Linda has always had recurring problems with her digestion. It's by far her weakest body system, more susceptible to almost any kind of stress.

To help with the effects of this, she has found the digestive blend and tarragon to be most helpful.  Together, they pretty much stop any bloating and burping (as they have for me, too).  However, what has helped with this the most has been the liver cleanse program.

Peppermint, with its soothing effect on digestion and support for liver function, has also been of considerable benefit.  And, when her hiatal hernia acts up, applying a few drops of ginger and marjoram on location settles it right down.  However, regular use of homeostatic soil organisms (kind of like acidophilus on speed) and digestive enzymes improves digestion and helps to stop this problem before it even starts.

Linda has also had some problems associated with liver function.  The liver cleanse program has helped this a lot, but for the occasional disturbance, the liver opening blend has helped a lot.  It settles the nausea and relieves whatever distress there is.

Linda's Experience with Helichrysum Oil:

Amazing relief from dental pain.

A few years ago, Linda had a tooth filled.  The work came quite close to a nerve, and because of nerve problems created by her use of Celexa, even after several weeks, she was still experiencing a lot of pain.

She started putting clove oil on the tooth (it contains eugenol, what the dentist uses to numb your gums before injecting the Novocain), which helped for the short term; but over time, the pain started getting worse.

She contacted her dentist to see what might be wrong, and what he could do to help.  After he explained what he thought the problem was, the only course of action he could think of was for Linda to go to a specialist and have some rather extensive work done — essentially sealing off the nerve from the dental restoration.

The expense of this work was prohibitive; but while we were considering our options, I recalled having read in the Essential Oils Desk Reference that helichrysum oil was supposed to help in the regeneration of nerves.  Linda was in so much pain at that time, we thought, "It couldn’t hurt," and gave it a try.

So, Linda took a drop of helichrysum oil and rubbed it on her gum.

With her finger still in her mouth, her jaw dropped, and her eyes nearly popped out of her head.  I didn't know what to think; but before I could say anything, Linda (with her finger out of her mouth now) told me that the pain was gone.

In about two seconds!

She continued applying the helichrysum oil to her gum for the next few weeks, morning and evening, and the tooth felt even better than it had before the dental work.

Restoration of her hearing:

There was an added bonus to this: Linda's hearing improved.  Hearing loss seems to run in Linda's family, and with her history of loud music, and now, working with machinery, her hearing was getting to be problematic.  She had to ask people to repeat themselves a lot, and tended to speak too softly to be understood.

That is no longer the case.

This effect was so gradual, we didn't even realize what was happening; but over the course of a few weeks, Linda's hearing was almost totally restored.

What a wonderful gift from God.
