According to the Essential Oils Desk Reference (EDR), 2007 4th Edition:

Shingles is a short-lived viral infection of the nervous system that starts with fatigue,  fever,  chills, and intestinal upset. The affected skin areas become sensitive and prone to blistering. One attack usually provides immunity for life. However, for many people, particularly the elderly, pain can persist for months, even years.

NOTE: Occurrences of shingles around the eyes or on the forehead can cause blindness. Consult an ophthalmologist immediately if such outbreaks occur.

Greetings,

We had a good gathering at the first Denver Young Living Essential Oils Discussion Group. In addition to the enthusiastic women who filled the room, was the fragrance and healing properties of many essential oils that we shared.  Here are just a few oils and blends that we discussed.

The anti-tumor oil blend of cypress, frankincense and grapefruit that should be applied to the breasts daily. (1 drop - each oil per breast).

• Aroma Siez and Black Pepper reduce swelling.
• Basil and Black Pepper great for achy muscles.
• Frankincense and Myrrh are good for scars.

I am looking forward to our next monthly discussion group in May and will be sending out date, time and location information soon. You can start thinking about who you would like to bring as a guest or guests.

More information about oils and their uses can be found at Two Compassionate Hands.

In your good health,

Jann C Griffiths, MS, CMT, CR

Use Lemon essential oil to clean off glue, tape and the like from
surfaces without a lot of elbow grease of scratching. Apply just a few
drops of oil in your palm and apply with your finger. Use a clean rag
to wipe the tape residue away. Works on glass, metal, wood and other
surfaces. Smells good and no harmful toxic chemicals.

Since I gave up using body care products with petroleum based
products I have been looking for an alternative for my body. Colorado
winters are very drying on my skin and I tend to get very itchy.
Using a recipe book for organic personal care products I made my own
version of Orange & Coconut Body Balm. It was easy to make and feels
great on my skin.

3/4 c. organic virgin olive oil
1/3 c. organic coconut oil
4 TBLS beeswax (I used a small new beeswax candle)

Melt above ingredients on low heat.

To one cup purified or distilled water add 20 drops of orange YLEO
and 20 drops of lavender YLEO (use could use 20 drops of lemon YLEO
and 20 drops of Purification YLEO instead).

Remove melted oil from heat and let cool for a few minutes before
adding the essential oils and water mixture slowly to the oil, stir
constantly with a wisk to ensure maximum blending of water, oil and
essential oils.

Store in a glass jar. It doesn't have to be refrigerated - use within
one year - this shouldn't be a problem because it feels so good to
use.

The liver is our master filtering system in the body. When it becomes over worked the kidneys are then called upon to help out. When our livers are toxic we see this by the effects it has on our other body systems. Detoxfying our liver will help to decrease and eliminate many symptoms such as allergies.

I am on a year long destocks program that is gentle, yet effective. The protocol was given to me by an individual who is experienced in the use of essential oils for personal health care including detoxification, which is the key to good health. I only use 100% therapeutic grade essential oils from Young Living Essential Oils .

1. For 3 months use Juva Cleanse (start with 5 drops once a day and increase to 10 drops, which may take many months into the cleanse depending on personal detoxification requirements). 1 - 15 ml bottle has 300 drops - enough for 60 days.

2. Then for 3 months take Juva Tone to cleanse and rebuild the liver 2 - 4 tablets per day.

Repeat 1 then 2.

It is also important to have a clean intestinal tract and colon. I am using Balance Complete (2 scoops makes a shake), 1 Digest and Cleanse gel cap, and 1 ounce Ning Xia Red daily. It is helpful to clean up the rest of your diet. You will reduce the toxins that you are adding to your system, which should speed up your detoxification.

If your body is highly toxic, you may experience some flu like symptoms as you start to detoxify. Drink lots of pure water and try to ride them out. Decrease the number of drops of Juva Cleanse to 3 -4 to start if this happens until you are feeling better.

See your primary health care provider if you are trying to get off any medication or if you start to feel you need less of it as your body may require less for the same results due to the decrease in your toxicity.

I hope this helps.
